    If you want an immersive experience I suggest making day and nighttime longer combined with not being able to raise your gamma settings at night. That way you really have to adapt to nighttime instead of just chilling out for a few minutes until daytime. Also it just makes time feel more realistic when the time of day isn't at warp speed lol

    If you wanted to slow the breeding down somewhat do you have a formula to work out numbers to go a certain % slower or faster and get imprints to max etc?

    • @mykeechoes
      @mykeechoes  Год назад +1

      It's near impossible to pin down an exact formula, really takes testing and tweaking each time because you may wind up with different remainders for different dinos. That being said if you are on PC you can alter the ini file to change the imprint amount multiplier to be higher to compensate. Console does not have this option though.

    • @mykeechoes
      @mykeechoes  Год назад

      I worked a little bit of testing nothing too crazy so I can't guarantee perfection, however I believe that a 240 egg hatch speed, 120 on the baby maturation speed, and 0.12 on the baby cuddle interval multiplier should serve as a much milder experience for breeding.

    • @mykeechoes
      @mykeechoes  Год назад +1

      Personally I agree with the devs decision to take away flyer speed leveling as it promotes the use of land mounts and makes the game more interesting especially later when you have access to higher tier fliers. That being said, if you like it by all means enable it, it's all about user preference.

      It's not hard, just get a decent level male dino, find a decent leve female dino of the same type and go into their behavior menu and hit the "enable mating" button. They'll do their thing and you will have an egg or baby. Check it's stats to make sure it got all the good ones from both parents, if not discard and try for another until you get the stats you're after. Then raise the baby by caring for it for a while and you will get boosted "imprinted" stats. Hope this helps, I will for sure be doing a video in the future on breeding and imprinting so keep an eye out for that.

      It does, however I absolutely think it isn't OP at all if you are playing single player. This is entirely up to player preference but I have found that the player is usually extremely underpowered without a dino. My setting makes the player just a tad more of a threat to wild dino's than normal. Also, this setting doesn't effect Dino player dino damage at all.

    Do you have alternative breeding and mating interval settings that's more tame, perhaps not 20 mins for a rex and 10 mins for everything else and 3 min breeding cooldowns? I'm thinking ~1 hour or less for rexes to fully mature but what would the cuddle interval be to get 100% imprint?

    • @mykeechoes
      @mykeechoes  Год назад

      Try mating interval at .05, egg hatch at 600, baby mature speed at 110. You will have to play with the cuddle interval to get it as close as you can. Shouldn't be too hard to do if you make a single player world and use some commands to get the stuff together to test it. I'll do some testing myself and get back to you if you can't figure it out.

      The math gets wonky anything after a hundredth you can't input via settings, It will be a few days before I have time to run proper testing for it. There is a way to make each imprint worth more on PC via the Game.ini file by adding the line BabyImprintAmountMultiplier=2 though it's been a long time since I've had to do it that way and it's not exactly intuitive. I would run .008 and see what kind of results I got and adjust if need be.

    • @rileyjoh19
      @rileyjoh19 Год назад +1

      you likely had "use singleplayer settings" still checked. By default, "use singleplayer settings" multiplies the egg hatch speed by 10, and multiplies baby mature speed by 37x. So his mature speed of 320 would be multiplied by 37 to be around 11800x mature speed, which is obviously much too high. I'm definitely too late on this but wanted to add this comment in in case anyone was having the same issue.
      Use Singleplayer Settings:
      Taming speed: 2.5x what you have it set as (example: if your taming speed was originally 2, it would now be 5 with this setting checked)
      XP multiplier: 2.0x what you have it set as
      Egg hatch multiplier: 10.0x what you have it set as
      Baby mature speed: 36.799x what you have it set as

    I kinda disagree with PvP Gamma as creatures have no problem spotting you in the dark, while you're pretty much blind.

      Followup: Did some breeding and these settings helped a lot, however I tweaked Baby mature speed to 260 and baby cuddle interval to 0.05 to get 50% imprint every 5 min with a large enough window to imprint at ease.

    I have the xp at that setting, as it is default to that, and it is way too fast. I literally got to lvl 40 in a few hours. I don't want that.
    Taming speed at 4.0 is WAY TOO FAST. I have it as the default speed and it is way too fast as it is.
    Not spending that time taming a dinosaur is so boring and unrewarding. And an hour isn't even that long at all. The preparation and fun of taming a dinosaur is lost with changing that. And the work you put in makes it fun and rewarding to even get the dinosaur once you get it.

      @@Cub__ wtf are you saying? And dude I literally took that picture in 2020. Why do you assume I still wear a mask just because of my profile picture, oh and covid still is a thing. So idk what your point is. And nobody is tripping.

    I want the settings to be how the game is meant to be played. I haven't edited the taming speed or my leveling, and them are way too fast for me on singleplayer.
    I want to have the setting how the game is originally. But some things are harder to do on singleplayer or downright impossible...like taming a raptor. I have to build an actual platform up high to shoot from above to stand on a cliff....I've had to resort to using the fly command, but I don't want to do that.
    I want to play it how it should be, but if there are literally things I need to have edited to actually be able to play and enjoy the game I want them only edited, but idk what them would be. Dino damage maybe? I used to have it turned off, but I don't even like doing that either.
    Edit: I found out I can use bolas on other dinosaurs and not just pteranodons...smh. Also they seem to have fixed the raptors constantly pouncing on you, which made an interaction with a raptor impossible to get away from or to tame them. I haven't had a single raptor pounce on me at all. They uses to do it way too much.
