Title: Incubation and Breeding rates
Post by: Myr on February 17, 2016, 11:20:18 am

Hi guys,
Just wondering what the feeling was on increasing breeding rates.

I have to admit to being a rabid breeder, but 8.7 days to raise a quetz is probably a bit of a showstopper!

I know I have used the longest as an example, but even an Argie is 2.5 days to rear, Rex is 97 hrs from memory too.

If it is decided to increase the breeding time, can reducing the feed requirements of babies be looked at as well...4x rearing speeds means 4x meat/berry consumption too...I can live with the vanilla consumption if it is decided to make the change  8)

Ohh, thanks muchly for fixing the Raging Aggressive Spino prob too !!

i first read it as rabbit breeder....

breeding on the server is already quite high up. a lot more than standard. I will discuss this with some of the others and make an adjustment if need be.

feel free to add me on steam

Hi Gutty, pretty sure you will find breeding rates are vanilla...taming is increased certainly. But I have been incubating a quetz egg for 16hrs....heh

Rates have not been reset due to a patch or somesuch ?

I am on Sever #1

I'd love to see the breeding/maturing rates increased also.  Everytime I look into my fertilised-egg fridge I have nightmare's and shut the door then back away... very quietly :o

yeah i will look at it. it is possible there was a reset with various updates.

also, remember that once its changed, you will need to breed again

here are the current settings:
MatingIntervalMultiplier=3.0?EggHatchSpeedMultiplier=80.0?BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=100.0?LayEggIntervalMultiplier=2?PoopIntervalMultiplier=2?DinoCountMultiplier=1.5


rechecked config and it was at stock, not sure why the command line is not being taken first. this may change again on next big update, but will try my best to keep on top of it.
restarting server now after making the changes back to what is mentioned above.
