Breeders of the Nephelym: Alpha

No one ever gets pregnant?
Is there a trick, or something that needs to be unlocked before bred nephelym will get pregnant?

My wife and I are both playing this, and we've probably tried breeding 300+ combined pairs of foxen and vulwarks. Both quick and by scene. Yet neither of us have had a single successful pregnancy so far. We only have doggy as far as positions go, but to my knowledge that doesn't effect the chances. She's had pairs where both had 50 fertility, which should be a 100% chance according to what we've read, but still nothing.

Has anyone had this same issue? Is there something we've missed?

Yea you're gonna want the fertility much higher then that. I'm sure this is what yea probably read "Successful breeding will result in a Pregnancy for the receiver, which last three in-game days. The chance of pregnancy is a % chance equaling the sum of the breeding partners' Fertility Stat. For example, if one Nephelym's Fertility Stat is 10 and the other's is 15, the chance of pregnancy when those two Nephelym breed is 25% (50% if one or both have the Fertile Trait). The maximum chance of success is 80%".

As someone who has played this game for a while though, it just doesn't feel correct. Rather like it feels out dated. So from my experience you should expect to see more consistent pregnancy when both nephs are like 100+ on their fertility, and of course the higher the better. Just remember it'll never be a 100% guarantee.

im having this same issue , tried turning on pregnancy but did nothing

There is an option in options you can check for pregnancy.

That would be the option to skip waiting for births when they pregnant.
This is likely a bug they happen to get stuck with.
Either that, or they forgot to buy barns.

Well, what worked for me was to post a thread complaining about it. The next time my wife and I went into our respective games, we both got multiple pregnancies. No changed settings, no tricks, it just didn't ever happen until it did. Have had no such problems with any of the other races since.

you can always put in this code in pause menu [ Always Reproduce ] you don't need the brackets i just did that to show that that was the code when you put that in you'll have 100% chance regardless of the fertility stats of any nephyelm or breeder. hope this helps

so i don't know what happened but there is a code list that has the same code. i'll try again without the brackets this time it is always reproduce for 100% success regardless of stats

Best thing to do is just grab loads of random ones then have them all bang each other till they're exhausted, do it a few times till they have levelled up a bit then release them all back into the wild, to increase the level of the wild ones, then grab a load more, you will get more fertile ones that way.

cheat code: always reproduce

I used the cheat code successfully until today. Half way through a new game they stopped reproducing even with the code inputted. Is there a limit perhaps of how many captured you can have? Or maybe a glitch?

The stats given are from prior to the 754.2 build. That build introduced the stat ranking system (E,D,C,B,A, & S) and also increased the numerical values of the stats themselves.

I initially thought the increase was by a factor of 10 so that 25% in the example would need to be 250 (or 100 + 150). That is consistent with my experience and also with the 100+ suggestion you make.

This seems to be roughly correct but there are 2 things that make me think it isn't quite right:

1. The fertility stat (as well as all the others) maxes out at 1500 at rank S. If this is scaled up by 10, that would equate to 150% which is pointless if the cap is 80% or even if there were no cap. It does make sense if the scores are averaged rather than added as in the example but the author hasn't given any clue about that.

2. The Breeders Notice Board often has requests that seem to be on the old system. So you might see a request for a nephelym that has Allure of 11, for instance. If my theory is correct, that would mean the candidate would have to have at least a score of 110, but it will allow scores of much lower. That probably just means the notice hasn't been re-coded to take the new system into account, so it might not even be relevant. This is, after all, a work-in-progress.

Yes there is a limit. Each barn can only hold a maximum of 60 nephelym. If your barn is already at maximum capacity that might prevent pregnancy although I've not tested that.

I think if they get pregnant and it's full it goes straight to the wild

Thanks for the replies. That is exactly what happened.
