Best Eggs!

Does the Best Eggs mod take stats from my current tames?
Hi not sure how to ask this question. But apparently originally eggs only take on the stats from the parents at time of taming the original animal. Meaning all my best eggs somehow get 520 Stamina with my Argentivis.

Even though the parents after leveling have way more than that. So I assume the best eggs mod continues using only the best stats from tames from the time they were tamed?

I am creating lots of Argys but somehow none of them ever gets better stats, they always retain the original 520 Stam. Which is a shame. I was hoping we could breed stronger dinos by leveling the parents up and then breeding them.

That is just how breeding in Ark works. Only the 'wild' levels are used for babies.
Each stat has a 70% chance to be taken from the parent with higher value.
Best Eggs makes it so that you 100% get the higher value in all stats.
And if there are mutations they are preserved, and if mutation was on a lower stat, it is carried over to the higher stat.

It is not intended to be a dino stats upgrade type thing, I have another mod for that sort of thing.
It is intended to simply give you the best possible eggs that you could have potentially gotten anyways if lucky enough- or spent enough time breeding over and over again.

Ohh I see, I was hoping this mod was doing what the breeding Evolved mod was doing. It takes the Wild + Tamed levels for breeding. But sadly the creator of that mod hasn't updated it yet to work with the Genesis update.

Thank you though for the info! Appreciated!

Was there something about this mod's description that would give you this impression?

Carrying over the tamed stats would be incredibly game-breaking to do. Why not just play with god mode and have an easier time at cheating? ;)
