How do i make it craft faster and where do i put the harder crafting recipe?

Hello, will this mod be updated? I really need different effect recipes to make my pet's attributes reach 254. The effects I set too high to reach the full value of the attribute 254. If possible, I hope you can add several different effect recipes so that creatures can get different when they mutate.

Still works great on my dedicated server as of 2/17/2025

@ladyteruki It should not affect you at all, if I am not mistaken.

Dumb question maybe, but when you say "The Kibble will only work if consumed by a female creature, will have adverse effects if consumed by a male"... what does that mean for Maewings ?

i find it funny that when i fed a male a kibble it got set on fire lol

I have hatched 20 Theri Eggs and all I have got is colour mutations using the 48% Buff kibble :(

@Squirby oh that is wonderful to hear I'll gladly check it out when it's all done and thanks so much for helping out

Well it may be more then six hours as console versions go under a manual review and I have no idea how long that takes.

@Squirby oh, you are right. the cross platform is being published now. It will take a few hours to finished but should be up available for console within the next 6 hours.

@Kriogenic mods on CurseForge are not crossplay compatible just from uploading them, you've got to do something on your end to enable them to be crossplay

@Squirby, 100% untested on consoles, but as far as I am aware it should work fine. Let me know if you have any issues. I believe curseforge has an issues section when the mod is viewed on the curseforge website, you can let me know through there. Or a comment here will work too if the issues thing on curseforge doesnt work.

@Kriogenic that is absolutely wonderful, but will it be crossplay compatible

@Squirby It has been done, Mutation Kibble is now available for Ascended.

@Rubickevich as far as I am aware the mutation pot should be working fine, I am not sure about mod compatibility with other mods installed though

@Huntzilla06 yes the mutations on the creatures will stay even after the mod is removed.

Does this work if you remove the mod after a dino laid it's egg?

On an unrelated note. The kibble crafter doesn't work for me for some reason. Could it be because The hunted mod changes the craft for regular kibbles to a harder one? I tried cheating some vanilla kibbles in, to check if it's not actually the same item, but they turned out to be the same thing. Mutation kibble just doesn't recognise either as the ingredient.

Not that it matters too much though, I can just use cheats to exchange the kibbles manually.

@goodntuff08
You seriously underestimate just how unlucky I can get.

Moreover, even with 100% mutation rate, the chances of getting the correct one aren't that high. If my calculations are correct, getting both the correct mutation and the higher stat would have about 7.8% chance. That would mean that 10 females would only give you about 55% chance for the correct egg to occur per breeding session.

Realistically, I could probably get pretty comfortable at 40 females with extraordinary kibble (96% success rate per batch), but it would still be pretty inconvenient to feed them all.

@Rubickevich, the point of the mod its that you wont need that many females to use the mutation kibble for. If you have vanilla settings for breeding, its understandable but with the mutation kibble I suggest you to have around 10, who you can easily feed the kibble to, and having 10 mutated babies at a time is much more of a time saver than having other 30 females that arent dont guarantee a mutated baby.

In theory, that mod sounds amazing. Unfortunately though, when I tried it in game it turned out to be very difficult and annoying to use, to the point I just resorted to the vanilla methods.

It takes way too much time to force feed every single of my 200 females, not even talking about them being so tightly packed that it's sometimes impossible. They won't eat the kibbles on thier own under any circumstances, so I can't just teleport it in them with s+.

It would be much more convenient if there was a config option to allow feeding kibbles to males. I play on my own server with friends so we can simply play fair and incenerate the amount of kibbles equal to our females.

@Kriogenic, it's unfortunate that there are no plans to port it to ascended, but understandable. And the mod support for ascended is really good especially since even console players can get access to any mods now

@Squirby, it will not, unfortunately I do not own ascended and so will not be able to do suitable testing on a port of the mod.

I also wasn't aware that mod support was available for ascended, perhaps in future I can port it, as I would love to have it available to ascended players.

hey I've used this mod a lot and I'm curious if this mod will be ported over to ark ascended any time soon

@Ashslayer the mod description did say put in females inventory only.

wtf this lit my breeding male on fire and killed him.

No worries man life finds a way haha, absolute legend tho thank you I'll try it this weekend and let you know!

@Magictrix So sorry about the additional delay but the discussion has finally been updated.
The codes have not been tested so please let me know of any issues!

can someone please make a video to showcase this mod please? i'm newbie to mutations.

@Kriogenic Thanks for the speedy reply, we all love the mod and the work you've done with it!

@PhatBeet Provided the female has been fed the kibble and has the buff before mating is complete, it should still work.

@ele sorry I do not understand, if you mean 20/20 there is a specific Mutation Counter Reset to reset the counters.

@Candy_Croissant more info please if possible? im not sure why it wouldnt be working what map?

@cmohan0004 Interesting, I will have to take a look into this when I have a moment.

@benkenewby Are you on Fjordur? never seen this issue and will need to take a look

@Magictrix I apologise, I forgot and that was almost one year ago! I will get onto that next weekend when I am home, I need to find the old recipes again too (I have set a reminder to my phone this time)

Hi, in this comment you mention adding a new discssion post on how to readd the harder cost, is this a possibility? we would like the old recipes for them instead of the basic 1 kibble = 1 mutation kibble.
Thanks

Kriogenic [author] 25 Nov, 2022 @ 8:41pm
@E Man, What I said to Radeghast. But uhhhmmm... are you guys saying that the recipe cost does not show up at all? I never saw this in testing. The recipe was changed to be much simpler and I will be adding a new discussion post next week on how to readd the harder cost if thats something you want.

It doesn't recognize any kibbles in the pot and says missing resources when attempting to pull with S+

Don't know why but it won't work on fjordur, it won't recognise normal kibble in inventory, though its working as intended on the island map

Can the cost of feed be increased? she's too low

Doesn't really work on my end even if I put extraordinary kibble inside the pot.

This MOD IS LEGIT :D

the mutations only worked on the first ones to get them it says that it have 2/20 and it dosent even change anything on the stats,it looks like he was the first male but it says that it have mutations and his dads that have only 1 mutation the mutation worked fine

sorry if i have bad english its not my first language

I have a question, do I need to feed the mutation kibble to my females before or after enabling mating (when the females are pregnant)? Or does it not matter either way? Great mod btw <3

Is fun!

@FittestBujuan, I have not been able to replicate the issue and you are the first to bring it to my attention. Have you tried disabling any other mods you may be using and trying again? once I have more info I will look into it further.

@HornedHalo, What do you mean take effect? it only adds the buf\extends timer only half the time you feed it to your dino? or do you mean the mutations only happen half the time when using 100% kibble.

If its the mutations then your creatures are most likely at the mutation counter limit and needs to be reset using a Mutation Count Reset Kibble.

When I use the highest rank Kibble it only seems to take effect about half the time at best.

i don't know why, but every time when my dinos start the breeding, they stop and restart, and i can't breed. you know something that can be wrong?

I can't get the mod to work on my server

@INuBq8 by controlling the randomness do you mean which stat the mutation will be applied to? If so... this IS a planned feature but I have no idea as of yet how to accomplish this and am working on it.

If you mean the chance of a mutation in general that is an INI setting for each tier of the kibble.

hello loved your mod before I had the worst luck and didn't get a single mutation for 2 days but this mod helped me confirm mutation exist, but is it possible to control the randomness of the mutation? future plan maybe?

@entropypopsicle are you sure your creatures aren't already at 20/20 mutations on either parent? as that will stop future mutations, you may want to use a Mutation Counter Reset Kibble

Something seems off about this. I used the INI to set Exceptional and Extraordinary to 1.0 to guarantee a mut when I feed them to a female, but neither tier will consistently give a mutation. If I am lucky I get a mutation maybe 2% of the time. In fact, as best as I can track, when I do get a mutation on any specific female, it will never get another mutation over multiple future breeding attemtps. I've soul-balled between attempts. I have tried feeding one female multiple mut kibbles before starting the breeding too.

yeah i hear ya on that, thanks for the response

@stinkyCooper there is no ETA on the spyglass feature... the last dev kit update corrupted my spyglass UI and so it needs to be recreated from scratch. I will be starting work on that next but no ETA to release.

It is still being developed, the last update was only 2 months ago. Updates are just slow as I work long hours and spend time with family and can only spend time on it when I get the chance.
