    The awesome spyglass mod makes breeding easier because it shows how many points a dino has in each stat. It shows a Dino's pre and post tame points into each stat.

    10:50 You forgot one thing: when you get a desired 2nd mutation on a female you want it to mate with an unmutated male until you get a male baby with the mutation. this way you can keep it and keep stacking 2 or more desired stats on varius male dinos. eg.: one male with each x/20 stats in melee, hp, stamina, respectively.

      @@fishskategaming OK let's say you get a Hp mutation on a male. And now you get a disired dmg mutation on a female or vise versa. You want to keep both. Basically you can go 20/20 on the dmg mut. and 20/20 on the HP mut. But you need to do it with 2 different Dinos. Bacause if one Dino has 17 in Hp and 3 in dmg and later you combine the stats by mating with a 13 dmg 7 HP most you will get is a 17hp/13 dmg. But you want 20/20. So keep the mutation of the extra stats in a second Dino or baby which you get on your way anyways. Convert that second Dino into male, by mating, so later on its easier to mate with all the females.

      @@glenniseler7522 you find 2 dinos. (one with better health and one with good strength) and since the one with the strength has bad health, and the one with the good health has bad strength, you will have to bread them until you get a male and a female with both the good strength and the good health and basically the same good stats. And you do that just so you dont get a baby that has good health from the mother but also bad strength from the mother and not from the father. Just bread them until you find 2 female and male that have same stats that are good, then bread them so that every baby has the same stats as both untill you get mutation on the stat you want.

      @Syntac Hey Syntac, I have a few questions if you have time to answer. I'm sure you are busy so if you don't have time don't worry about it. If you have already answered these questions before please ignore them as I must have overlooked them and I apologize ahead of time. I've watched your video a few times now and I've reviewed the other articles I've found that have been posted regarding breeding.
      1. If I have a Male Dino with one melee mutation upgrade +1 (2 melee points) from breeding on the Paternal side that then breeds with his unmuated/base female companions, that then spawns a Female Dino with +2 melee upgrade(4 melee points) on the Paternal side, could I then breed the +1 melee male with the +2 melee female to create +2 melee babies without any negative side effects? I had hoped that I could combine the two together to achieve the +2 melee on a new male and then breed the new +2 melee male with the unmutated females to continue the normal breeding process.
      2. I understand that you can choose to breed only melee with one male and then only health with another male. Is there any downside to mutating some into health and some into melee on one male through breeding instead of focusing on one or the other? Or does it just make tracking the mutations much easier if you keep melee on one male and health on another?
      3. To continue mutating a dino, you basically have to keep starting new breeding lines sort to speak and then once you have a new "max 20/20" male, you breed until you have a max 20/20 female who then will breed with another 20/20 male in order to go above the 20/20 limit to 40/20 for example. New line + Breed with your female squad to mutate on up.
      #1 20/20 Male Breeds with a different line of 20/20 Female to create 40/20 Male.
      #2 40/20 Male then breeds with another new line of 20/20 Female to boost that number to 60/20.
      Is this correct? And I assume you would just keep BASE/non-mutated males in reserve to mate with your female squad.
      4. I believe you went over this but I wanted to make sure I understood correctly. Once a baby is born with a mutation, you 100% want the mutated baby to be a male, not a female so that you can breed with the unmutated females, great. Does the mutation have to strictly come from the Male/Father side or can the mutation come from the Female/Mother side? I thought all of mutations needed to come from the fathers side so that when you breed with a base/unmutated female, the mutations could continue as the female is 0/20. I hope that made sense...as I'm writing it I'm questioning and possibly confusing myself. I may be looking too much into this.
      5. Do the rules of "max level" apply to unofficial/private servers? I've seen a few people posting about how they have level 2000+ Dinos on a private/unofficial server, and even after a restart their dinos are still present. Maybe they are lucky? I 100% would not want my bred dino to be deleted. I understand that on official the level cap of 450 will apply and wipe any dino over that level but I wasn't sure about unofficial/private.

    Thank you for explaining this! Now I know I was doing a very sloppy job on the mutations. I can improve myself now before something horrific happens... like losing my spino army in a boss fight.

    To summarize:
    Step 1: tame a lot of high level of the same species.
    Step 2: choose the best stat for intended purpose.
    Step 3: breed those until you have the perfect pair for them(both F and M need to be the same level). Then you want the +2 of the level of parents.
    Step 4: do this until you have a father that’s 40 levels higher than the original father and breed those again once. (Mother for the other stat you want)
    Step 5: breed the +40lvl mother and +40 level father to get 1F and 1M,
    Step 6: breed that 1F and 1M to create the perfect Creature for its intended purpose.
    Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.

      What do you mean "the perfect pair for them"? So I would breed, get a mutated baby thats a male, and mate that w the female mom until I get a female mutated baby? Then breed that one w the male baby that has a mutation? Then I keep doing that until I have what I want?

      How do I get the mutations to the maternal side?

    This is the only video I've seen on breeding that made sense. Awesome video. Thank you

    I once got a double muatation on my rexes (and I got tripplets) all of them were females and the mutations were on health and melee, they were the perfect anti-alpha-boss-creatures and they destroyed everything.
    Long story short, we got offline raided 2 days afterwards

    i actually learned a lot from this. gonna try to look out for their stats more often and changes in them after breeding. it does make more sense the more you think about. its mainly boiled down to finding good, high-stat dinos and breeding them to create a change in their baby's stats to make more babies to create the perfect dino of your liking.
