Balance / Offer help with modeling
If you have any ideas for balancing or mod improvement, let me know right away!

Update: I would be very happy if someone experience with Blender and can help me remodel mommy and her children! I would love to work with you!

hi :) i was wondering if there is a way to balance her breeding times a bit some folks on my server say for her powerful utilities of healing and summoning temporary pets that she should have more of a several day timer before she can breed again or extremely long raising time like along length of a giga or yutyrannus this is just an idea :)

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll increase the cooldown between mating (about 3 days). If you have more ideas, feel free to suggest me.

The fix should come tomorrow if everything is according to plan.

Hello Nuke me 99,

I really liked the old cooldown time of the Broodmothers, although now the cooldown timer is 8 days on some of my mommies. It really sucks as they are some of my favorite dinos and a pain in the ass to tame. Could you lower the cooldown timer to make it a bit more balanced as 3 days seems a lil' over the top?

(P.S. I love your mod, it is really well thought out, looks amazing and just everything about it is so cool (apart from cooldown timer lol). I think that your mod is the most creative and one of the best out there, I have recommended it to many people.)

Also, would it be possible to increase the number of times the Broodmother poops by 33%-50%? With the new breeding, interval nerfs having more is harder, therefore, less element.

I'll get right into it ^^

Expect it done in the next 24 hours.

I think I will bring the timer to 12 hours, and slightly increase poop interval.

Instead of increase poop interval, I have her produce elements while wandering like the achatina.

Will that good?

Hello Nuke me 99,

Thanks for your reply :). Personally I hate the mechanics of the achatina, I love the Broodmother the way it is. Just if it pooped its element a bit more it would be fantastic. I don't see a reason to change it. Thanks again, love your work man :).

Also, it seems like the AA egg crate and AA vacuum cannot pick up the element dropped by the Broodmother. Is there any way to fix that problem?

Thanks,

Sorry for bothering, just read the patch notes. I love the new idea of them being able to make element in turret mode. How often will it ♥♥♥♥ the element? It would be nice if they could poop like 100 shards per 10 seconds or 15 seconds. Element on my server is quite important and its hard to get too.

Thanks,
Daniel

My theory is: the other mod doesn't have element shard as a pick-up base on how I see the S+ item collector. Since it isn't on the list of items to collect it doesn't work.

If I want other mod to collect element shard and such, high chance that I need to contact the modder themselves.

Since I don't know how the interval differs from realtime, I can give you these numbers:
Achatina paste interval: 60 -> Mommy element shard interval: 10
Achatina organic polymer interval: 3600 -> Mommy element interval: 3600

Different from the pooping machenic, the inventory only give 1 per interval

Since I don't want to have element too easy, I make it the same as the organic polymer. On the plus side, element can't disappear.
