So, no more level 1 ? I understand that many people want high level dino on single player, but I can't put these monsters on a public server.

why we can't set these values on game.ini?

I have contacted the devs to see if I can get this functionality.

make the lvls rng so we have crappy ones and if we get really lucky we get a high lvl one

yep, i do like the rng style :)
please :D

Well, what would make sense is that a dino of level 20 drops a lvl 20 egg.

This egg can hatch a level 15-28 dino.

This way you CAN breed up your way to a "perfect" crew of dinosaurs but it's not so much "boom - you're done breeding dinos" after you get the exact number of eggs you need.


To keep this manageable, there could be 4-5 stages of eggs. A level 1-24 dino lays a class 1 egg and so on.



I tried it today and bred 11 raptors at max level.
And now? Raptors in the wild are no longer even worth looking at because I have a dozen already.
Boooooring.
When the server comes back up I'll kill them all off. This just isn't fun.

I really hope they can help you - So much want this on my server, but as it is now players will just hatch there dino and get max level (because its faster), insted of spending time finding a prober level and taming it.

Thanks for this mode and all the time you put in to it.

Whats your server IP so that I can play on a server running this mod?

THAT IS A GREAT IDEA!
damn i would love to have this on my server! We looked into this mod, but decideed against it (because to op) but its sad because we really wanted to breed dinos :(

Any news on making the baby dino's hatch at different levels ?

Upvote. I'd rather all hatchlings were level 1 than max level. It's no fun if you can just find a level 1 male and level 1 female of a species and breed into infinity and have a fleet of max level dinos at your disposal.

this.

i havent looked into ark modding, but isnt it possible to replace default eggs with your own egg item? if you cant store additional values in custom items, maybe use quality levels as a workaround? like, white eggs = lvls 1 - 50, blue = 50 - 90, green = 90 - 120, purple = 120 - 140, red = 140 - 150

ideally, base egg quality off of original dino lvl (without taming bonus or lvlups). too easy otherwise

Problem with this is how would u know which egg is which without mousing over it ? another way to make it is lets say a lvl 79 drops an egg, that egg will be a lvl 65-94 or something like that ? i also think that would be easier to implement :D but dont know aint coding ^^ But i think Exodus needs moar tools to work with before he can do stuff like this.
