Alternative to kibble farms

[AD33L]

Most of us are tired of these lagfest bases. Between the lag and the maintenance its just not a very efficient way of dealing with the worsened state of the official servers. So I'd like to hear what alternatives there could be without having to tame a bunch of each dino to catch the next dino. Because it will only get worse the more dinos they add.

The game as is is designed to force you to have tons of dino's and huge areas for a base but remember the original idea of the game is to have tribes not ones twos or threes. On pve our base is a open egg farm anyone can camp it. But not everyone on pve will do that for what ever reason!

Mutton? Has anyone read things since the recent patch?

Is only useful for taming, you still need the eggs for breeding.

A universal kibble sounds great. But what would it be cooked with to make kibble farms smaller? But anything is better than the current way.

Eggs instead are about amount rather than type. This means larger eggs contribute to larger amounts of kibble per creation. Instead of needing 3-4 (or 6-8) of every dino type, you can steadily cull your herd as new creatures come in.

10 Dodo Eggs would make, say, 5 kibble. 10 Stego Eggs would make 15 Kibble. 10 Bronto Eggs make 30 kibble. Etc etc. As you get higher tier / larger dinos, your smaller dinos can be culled down to your strongest mated pair if not removed altogether.

I'd like to see either:

Egg boxes, you put a Dino inside an egg box and the box will produce eggs like a Dino but without the animations/space. Egg boxes can be picked up and moved but the Dino can never be retrieved again.

Or

Tiered kibble, dilos, dodos, parasaurs, the easiest Dino's are tier one, they produce eggs that can tame tier two Dino's, trikes, raptors etc, they produce kibble for tier three and so on up the chain.

Or just decouple kibble from eggs all together and base it on resources harvestable by specific creatures, therefore making it an active task and not a waiting game that puts heavy strain on the server.

Maybe make a new structure you can build called a farmhouse, or an eggery or whatever.. and when you tame a dino, you being it to the farmhouse... and the farmhouse "absorbs" the animal into it.. and you can see how many of each animal you have in the farmhouse.. and it produces eggs depending on that in its inventory. It would require the same taming and pet numbers.. but they would all just be an equation in a structure instead of physical entities with ai in the world. Perhaps limit the number of pets per farm house.. and have small medium and large farmhouses.

I think this is a great idea!

i say put tame times to what they are with kibble and remove it. then i wont need 20 of every dino. i will instead of 1 of every dino i want. mabey 2 for breeding.

They need to make a Tek Structure that you can permanently transfer Dinos into that will produce eggs at the same quantity and speed as the creatures held within.

An egg vending machine of sorts but it still requires you to tame the animals required to get the kibble.

Most of players will never get Tek Tier.
Without use Spawn Command obviously.
