How do you calculate the imprint multiplier you should set to match your maturation multiplier?

[Obahar_]

DISCLAIMER: Before anyone complains that having it as high as it is, it's for singleplayer and I don't want to spend 4 days worth of game time to mature a quetzal.

I have baby mature speed at 150, what would I set my imprint intervals at?
And how do you calculate this so that if I wanted to change it to something else later I can do it myself?

[Leon]

Check the Ark Wiki for base values and start calculating. (Currently at work so I can't help you)

Just pointing it out is enough, I didn't know there was anything on there that'd help me.
Wouldn't have if I looked myself anyways, can't find it- but I'll keep looking.
Thanks for the reference! :)

Might use that, but I assumed it would be something as simple as:
150x maturation means 10x imprintingIntervals

[Obahar_]

Ah right, that sucks. I'd have thought there to be a better system for that, so that everything is possible to 100% even if it's a 30sec tame.

Honestly I was confused there was an interval for it at first, I assumed it would just be a calculation of max maturation time divided by 10 (for example) with a 5 minute buffer for each imprint; and it gives 10% imprint per stage (again, example)

Guess I'll just download the mod, but I'd rather have the .ini because I try and keep my subbed mods list as small as possible due to limited space on my SSD :/

So if I boosted it to say 100x it'd just be all queued up and I could theoretically complete it all within the first 30% of maturation? Because that'd be fine I have a decent kibble farm set-up and the walking glitch can actually be amended.
(You just have to whistle follow, change its follow distance, stop follow, after a second set it back to follow and walk a couple meters and it does it)

Arkgamepedia.com and serch "breeding" and scroll down. Eventually you find the list of all the base values.

Basically I asked my self 2 questions.
1. How long am I willing to wait (maximum) between mating. 1hr? 4hrs. 1/2hr?

Divide that number with 48 (which is a max wait value) and you get you wait to breed multiplier.

2. How many hrs are you willing to spend on maturation? An Allo takes 46-something hrs to mature. Therefore I set my maturation speed to 10 = about 4hrs

Now, the way I undetstand this is that the imprint value should be the same as the maturation value so it doesnt mature before you reach 100% imprint.

However I could be wrong here.

I was just gonna pop in-game and try it out, but the UI has changed and in the advanced settings everything is set to 1.
I literally just imported the file from desktop into the WindowsNoEditor folder where it was 150x maturation and 100x imprint (was gonna mess around with what leijon83 suggested afterwards)

Please don't tell me that Wildcard have implemented a hard cap and that it just says that its 1 when it is actually 150/100

You get an an imprint percentage based on how long it takes for the dino to mature.

Like on our server, a quetz will get 9% imprint each interval, while an argent will get 33%. If I remember correctly. So you won't get 100% imprint when the dino is only at 30% maturation.

But I could be wrong when using very high numbers, we only ever went as high as 40x maturation, we're at 20x now. Though, if the maturation is too high... hmmm...

If you have imprint interval at like 0.005 you should get intervals between 54sec to 1m12sec. Roughly. And have maturation at 500x, a dodo would take 2min to grow up, and a mosa/giga would take 33min. That might give you 100% imprint...

oh okay, so imprint interval needs to be lower and not higher to be effective for me.
Thanks for the tips, I'll give it a shot if it's still possible!

Isn't the imprint/cuddle intervall set to 3-4 hrs for all dinos? Only the % is balanced to the the time it takes to mature?

So for a gigga running official values would be the following:
280hrs for total maturation. Say 3,5hrs between cuddles => 280/3,5 = 80 cuddles => 1,3% imprint/cuddle.

Is that accurate on official?

I have 10x maturation speed and I have an imprint every 20ish min.

So the imprint% multiplier needs to have a 10x faktor also (or higher). ?

Anyway. Your maturation multiplier would be 186.6 for 150x speed I guess?

I need to have closer look after work.

I'll give it a whirl now, figured out how to fix the fact that none of my .ini multipliers are reflected in-game now.
And as it was a direwolf took about 25 mins to mature with 26 minutes until it wanted care... :/

[Leon]

Yes. Most ini things are UI controlled now it seems, which is nice.

Worst case: SetImprintQuality 1
If all else fails this one does work :)

[Obahar_]

It'd be nice, but from the 3 different tests I've done it doesn't seem the time to imprint has changed in any of them.
I've gotta go on a school run but I plan to test it at default imprint intervals to see if that'll help.

Wouldn't mind coming back to someone posting exactly what I need for it to work
But either way I'll keep trying and when I find a working solution I'll post it here for anybody searching the steam forums in the future.

What does that do?

Console command that sets imprint to 100% on your target, so if you end up in the 97% range and don't want to "cheat" fully but do as much as you can, that can take care of it.
