bros trying to hit so hard

Thanks for the update. Good to finally know for sure about the feeding. I've started breeding already.

It's crazy how wildcard can patch a bug for one of their mods the very next day, but the save bug, which literally broke the game for thousands of players and it took months to even address that problem.

It's almost as if different bugs have different reasons and need different measurements to be addressed and fixed.

Your channel is amazing for helpful, concise info. Super underrated!

Always the best explanations

Awesome videos on the gigantoraptor!

I can't wait to start breeding these. After watching your awesome breeding videos, and playing on a server with a tek binocular mod, I was able to easily see how the breeding is working and make some really nice tames. This Gigantoraptor adds several layers of complexity to breeding and it should really be a fun toy for ARK breeders!

Same. Might be smart starting a breeding group now and then later on center catch the higher base stats and put the mutations onto them. Gives you a headstart.

@@TiiaAurora Yes, this is the plan. With all of my available time, I've been optimizing stats. So far, I have two HP mutations stacked. Haven't even had time to really 'play' with the tame. Focus has been on development. It's great how you can run base stats, mutations, and colors as separate lines, then splice them onto other lines when ready. Like, I now have an all pink rex clean female breeding line. My base now rivals the Barbie movie for its use of pink color 68. >.

Great job!!

Very cool

Thx still trying to get the hang of this breeding stuff😅

That’s just way too much I think I can live without all that. Nice video though very detailed.

Glad i've already got the platinum trophy. No need to worry about taming extra dinos or getting all other collectibles from the other maps.

Idk why it may be because my character is the smallest I could make it so the hitbox is tiny, or because it's official and it's leggy, I have been taming them without traps or eggs, just wearing full ghillie and the parents never attack me, even when they come right up to me. I usually wait for them to move away from nest before I get fully tame the baby just incase they might attack the tamed bby

Raas mostrou essas habilidades ocultas e é bom ve outra pessoa mostrando ❤

The two tweaks this tame needs to truly shine: 1. We need to be able to access the babies inventory while sitting in the saddle. That way we can stuff them with food when we hop off. 2. The wild baby call needs to identify Gigantoraptor Babies in Teal. A sea of White Pacifiers is useless information. Ideally I would love Teal for Gigantoraptors, Red for baby Rexes, and Green for baby Brontos. Those are the babies that matter.

Did you realise WC deleted the tether distance setting on console ? They should fix this so small families can play together without monthly fees to buy unnecessary unused slots

@TiiaAurora

4 ай бұрын

From my understanding the menu entry wasnt needed anymore because Wildcard increased the tether to the maximum possible already, which I think was 1000m. For everything else you will need a server. (small server running at home on your PC for example)

@seanowens3153

Just play an official server?

In the thought process of getting female Gigantoraptor babies for breeding colors, stats, and the like, does it really matter to do the dance method over just taking one and killing the parent to claim the baby? Meaning, if you have a M stud already, and you are just bringing more F into the mix to push colors and stats into the breeding project, even if the dino you are using to claim the baby isn't maxed, does it matter? Or should the first choice always be to try and do the dance to get the baby? Many nests, parents, and babies seem a bit bugged on official, so killing the parent seems to be the only way. Thank you.

Do they have to be in the basket or does it matter?

i have a question if you will see it. i see nothing on google about it as well as the official wiki. i may be blind and didnt see it though. If you leave the parent alive and tame its baby will it spawn another baby in a nest? or is it just best to kill it and let another spawn?

@TiiaAurora

Ай бұрын

I'm pretty sure you need to kill it after.

Could you elaborate on the mutation level, by chance?? 254 seems pretty high and I'm wondering if there's something here I'm missing. I thought mutations had a hard cap at a much lower point?

@TiiaAurora

4 ай бұрын

No the mutation level hardcap is at 254 per stat, so 127 Mutations. On ASE it was 255 baselevel hardcap. So fairly similar.

@ExtremeBoyheat

4 ай бұрын

If you keep breeding a mutated male with 20/20 mutations with females that have 0/20 you still have the chance to gain new mutations. It just takes RNG and time to get that far.

I really don't think you can influence what bonus levels babies get from TE, at least from my testing. I didn't check mutations (maybe it only cares about them?) but I spawned in some insane level chickens with like 200 points in one stat. I then claimed a ton of baby dinos with them, w a fully leveled chicken, and the TE bonus levels seemed completely random. I had a bird with 200 wgt as it's highest stat, and a 150 baby with 20 wild points in wgt went to 25. Maybe I'm missing something? The post-tame levels affecting TE is so nice to know tho, makes these guys rly useful, still not seeing a point in mutating them tho unless I'm doing something wrong.

seems like its only like a 1-6% gain very very small a pointless dino basically to make people stay logged in for the game dev metrics people are thinking it will give massive buffs but in reality by the time you get 254 muts on one you could finish your other line so whats the point?

@@MrReno888 It could be because of the still existing claim bug in the game that hasnt been fixed yet. Here is the math: Extra weight scales from a 0% difference to a 6.25% percent difference, by having 60 wild points (if difficulty 5), and 254 mutations in the specific stat. On average we saw 5-6 levels more in melee than expected (tested about 50 babies)

And here the math how to get the full bonus levels: Lvl 150 baby claimed by a Giganto with 0 level up points or 0% taming effectiveness would result in the baby getting 0 bonus levels. Lvl 150 baby claimed by a Giganto with 44 level up points and 50% taming effectiveness would result in the baby getting 18 bonus levels. Lvl 150 baby claimed by a Giganto with 44 level up points and 100% taming effectiveness would result in the baby getting 37 bonus levels. Lvl 150 baby claimed by a Giganto with all 88 level up points and 50% taming effectiveness would result in the baby getting 37 bonus levels. Lvl 150 baby claimed by a Giganto with all 88 level up points and 100% taming effectiveness would result in the baby getting the full 75 bonus levels.

@@oldmanbluu that influences where the bonus levels go. so say you have a gigantoraptor with health as the highest stat(60 base 254 mutations), and it is fully leveled. it claims a wild 150 baby. that baby gets 75 bonus levels and the health is the stat that is prioritized when distributing those 75 extra levels. so in a way, yes it is transferable because it will be the base stat of the dino

So...this is not a criticism of you at all, but: I'm just not going to do all of that. It's just way way too fiddly and complicated. Just reading or listening to explanations from you and others as to how all this gigantoraptor stuff works is exhausting. I like the way the creature looks, and it's cool to run around on nice and fast and do it's little terror bird glide/fly thing, but the whole breeding workflow is way way more than I want to mess with. It's like TL:DR Raptor. Dimetrodons do basically one thing that helps breeding. Oviraptors do one thing. Maewings do one thing. Procoptodons do one thing. This does like 6 different things.
