Baby Feeding
In the update from 10 oct it says that babies can be fed. But with what? I tried everything, all kind of foods or that can be eating. It allows nothing in it's inventory. After a minute or so they die.
Who did manage to breed a baby?

I've been talking about this in the pinned bug reports. Should check it out and compare notes.

I think I know a reason can't take anything in its inventory. Babies are born fully armoured and with a weapon and 10 arrows, You can take the arrows but can't get the other stuff off them. They are already over encumbered (even though they can still move for some reason) so that might be a reason you can't put anything (else) in their inventory.

I did try it with the S+ Nanny, I put prime meat jerky, berries and honey in it, but it didn't like any of it so it starved.

Well, simplified weapons have no weight, but the armour still might over weight a baby

Maybe you have to put the food into the anvil first?

Well, I am out of options. Nothing does the trick.
Anvil is a no go.
Tried to empty the inventori, is a no go to.
Even kinda like passive feeding is not working to.
But still thx for the options and sugestions.

For those like me who really MUST breed them for stats and can't coz the bubs won't feed, I found the only work around is to [cheat setbabyage 1] it is not ideal as it is straight up cheating, but they return to normal once adults. (need to be in SP or have admin perms on a server of course...but using cheaty mode is a slippery slope!)

Yeah, got 1. Set the mature speed up to 300 and it wil take Cooked Meat.

hey this mature speed setting will it effect every other baby dino so set at 300 did it grow fast how fast? 5mins?? settings looks like this BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=5.0 ( but you put 300 <there ) in the game.ini file under [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]

[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=300

yes it will efect all the other babies to sadly. But The Human Baybe takes about 5 min to mature. So it's not to crazy. But I am trying out the Mod: Toaster Crafting Station. It let the baby have grow speed on it self. So I turned my setting back to my normal and must see now what wil happen.

They have to be breast fed.

well I was just wondering Why are feeding / raise them to begin with. We give ok to breed and simple mom & dad should do the rest before we send them off to there Doom.

The armour babies wear count towards the baby wieght limit (so flak armour they'll probs die before you can get anything in their inv) But if you sit there and spam trying to put berries in their inventory then you might JUST feed them.

It's good to see that I'm not the only one and I can confirm that as of right now the only way to feed the babies is to use console commands

BIG NEWS GUYS. Just Cyropod the baby after you claim it and it will drop all of its inventory including the gear it is wearing. After that throw it back out of the pod and put berries on it fast. You may have to force feed it some starting out but it works 100%. After awhile their food sat on zero but the didnt die. Also keep in mind I have max breeding modifiers up, as well as maturation.
I will now breed an army. However, I will not use the patrol feature because that is how they seem to disappear, supposibly to the 50 50 part of the map but that is not the case on all maps. (modded maps)
