Imprint Timer Broken
so i have my own private server through nitrado and ive already adjusted all setting you're supposed to. no matter what i do i cant get the imprint timer to decrease! my babies raise so fast i cant even imprint. No matter what i change the interval setting ### to the timer refuses to change! im getting very fed up with this and about to give up on imprinting in general. anyone else have this problem? any solution?

in the GAME.INI and get 100% imprint at the first cuddle, walk or feed.
So only one attempt for imprinting.

when your babies mature fast, it will simply outpace the timer at some point, just use prehistoric beasts 2 and grab an anzu to imprint them, got a ton of other cool dinos too. no matter how fast they grown, the anzu will imprint them 100% (1% imprint per 1% maturity)

or you can get pelayori's cryo pod addon and imprint them in the cryopod via the settings

or you can slow down maturation to the point small animals can get at least 1 imprint in and set BabyImprintAmountMultiplier=1000 in your game.ini

when you change speeds on this stuff you always have to play with all the other settings, nothing works 1 to 1 because of how different a small dino's imprint timer is vs a giga or something. you can have it set up perfect for 75% of dinos under large size but large won't be 100% because they run out of time too, but the setting above just makes 1 imprint give you 100% imprint quality and that means it takes maybe 5-10 mins without any addons for a baby to grow up, slow enough to imprint anything i think

i'd use prehistoric beasts 2 and grab the anzu, it's more "natural" and you can config it to grow babies as fast as you want via the anzu without messing with the other settings at all

the problem is that the "baby wants care" timer is always started for 8 hours. no matter what i change the setting to. i work and have a life so i cant do that for obvious reasons.

"baby wants care" if your cuddle timer, there is a setting, you can set it to 0.01 but it won't be a solution to your problem, small dinos will still grow up too fast if your maturation settings are set high and there is no ONE SETTING FITS ALL other than for slow maturation rates because the difference in small and large dinos is pretty huge.

0.01 should give you around 5 min timers though and the other setting i mentioned will give you 100% imprint if you can imprint them once while maturing

you're getting into something people figured out years ago, there is nothing wrong, no problems to solve, just read up on what people did over the past 8 years and do that. you will make a concession somewhere. if you want super fast maturation, you won't be able to imprint smaller dinos because they'll grow up in 5 seconds.
