TRAITS explained - Extreme high mutation chances!

In this video, we delve deep into ARK's new genetics and trait mechanic, introduced with the Aberration and Bob's Tall Tales DLCs. We explain how to extract, store, and transfer traits to creatures, and provide an overview of the 50 available traits. Particularly exciting are the inheritance traits, which can drastically increase mutation chances. The video also sheds light on the impact of this new mechanic on the breeding system and discusses the significance of the Bob's Tall Tales DLC for future breeding in ARK.⁠

Hi Peeps i am dino

[@azenitor]

Hi dino, am I peeps?

How do you explain things better in less than 10 minutes than people making 20-30 minute vids? Lol
I’d still be lost I think on breeding if it wasn’t for you.. I had spent days watching multiple 45 min to an hour long(sometimes even longer) videos and only came out more confused…. I stumbled across your 20 min in-depth mutation stacking guide and EVERYTHING made sense all of a sudden. 🤯
You did more for me in 20 minutes than hours spent watching others try to explain breeding in-depth.. You’re so exact and to the point!! A+ 💯 !!

13K hours on Ark, that is a great number and true love for this game, if I told you how many hours I have on ps4, pc and xbox s you probably wouldnt believe, you have an amazing voice, great explanation 🥰👍

[edit]: the mod now works without the dlc as intended.
A free mod is being made to access the trait without the dlc. It's called "Better traits". Currently it's not working without the dlc but the dev wrote a comment saying that he'll fix it very soon.

I love the quality of your content! Thank you, and I hope you keep doing it for a long time.

From what I've seen in your video and Syntac's, I think this is a neat evolution of mutations and breeding in the game. Pay wall problem aside, I like that it adds more aspects to the game. I think it'd be better if you had to get different traits from different kinds of dinosaurs (bravery from yuti, melee from rex, defense from turtle, etc). To make the dino you want, you'd need to tame or at least extract from other breeds, some of which can be challenging or from different parts of a map. Thanks for your content.

I think the problem in this is that you could only do this on maps were those dinos are also available. That might cause a too big of a headache. So this randomizing is probably better.

[@vacationgal05]

So much stuff in a dlc thar should be main game mechanics. 😢

[@BurningSovereign]

Tiia what hair mod do you use?

[@TiiaAurora]

Marnii

[@iNFERNALxKiLLA]

Can I use 3 level 3 Robust traits with 2 mutable negative traits to increase my chances of mutating while preventing other mutations, if that's something that actually works?

[@TiiaAurora]

What we found out when you want to let say mutate health, heaving 3 mutable health and 2 robust would be the best.

next update: paid traits

[@MellaniePlays]

Sounds like they stole traits from shiny dino’s. Shiny dino’s has special traits that looks or does exactly as the examples you gave. 😅

[@asmallrabbit]

Could this screw you over if you don't have the dlc and don't know about the traits? Like I just bred a boss army for the island. If one of my dinos i was using for breeding had a trait that was bad for bosses and i had no way of knowing without the dlc couldn't it have passed it to every dino i bred?

[@TiiaAurora]

Traits cant be passed to babies by breeding. So at best your initial tamed dinos would have had them.

[@snakemaster254]

@@TiiaAurorayeah it makes sense in that regard, though it would be nice if traits could be bred so that you can still interact with traits without the gene scanner, though that would allow you to make infinite copies of a specific trait so I can see the problem with that.

Bob's tall tales is not worth it.
