Creatures won't breed

[nidodson]

In a solo local game, bred 2 tek rexes, then after the second egg they wouldn't breed anymore.

Tamed a pack of direwolves (1 male and 3 females), and tried to breed them, and they refuse to. Read that it might happen if too close to a drop, and made a breeding pin far away from any drop, and they still wont breed.

Any ideas?

Do you have them penned up.. small area and set them to wander to mate?

They are like beaver mating ... if they wander too far out of range they will stop mating... thus No baybee. Try to lock them down in a 1by1 found and set to roam to find mate.

*stifles the urge to suggest Barry White and soft lighting. Tries to think of something practical to suggest*

If you’re using mods try researching each modscpage to see if others are encountering similar problems maybe? Other than that and Barry I got nuthin.

How long is the timer between breeding?

I have them in a 2x2 pen, all 4 direwolves.

No mods at all.

Mating interval: 0.01

Have never bred the direwolves though too.

Damn bruthu. Sounds you on the wrong end of a ninja bug. Maybe Kitsune or Retsam or one of those technically minded folks can help. I think they all getting smashed on Saturday night tequila atm.

Are they on follow? they won't breed if they are on follow, even if they are on wander

Nope, they actually give you a warning about that in the create summary window. Noticed that when I moved the pen.

I guess if you have everything set up correctly, male/female, close together, you can try turning wander off and on again, or restarting the game. good luck.

Make a 2 by 1 with a ramp , place 3 walls with windows . Lead 1 female in, pllace here parallel with the 2nd window wall . Place the male parallel next to her . Place a 4th window wall to lock them into a 1 by 1 foundation. Look hrought the window and set the male to wander to find mate.
Go arround to another windowal and set the female to wander to mate .

As stated before play some Barry White music at this point.

Mamals can only breed with ONE mate ... Dino's can have servaral mates ... thus why their extinct . One of the females killed his cheatin ***.

So, went out and levelled the wolves. Came back, everything is able to breed now... This game, haha.

Still better than when the game was in Early Access at least. Tamed creatures would fall through the ground and sometimes, rarely, return randomly days later. Could easily lose months of work back then.
[Working on a fresh install on a new PC build, so I knew Early Access code wasn't an issue.]

The problem was you putting all females into the pen at the same time. The male will always try to mate with the closest female possible, so if they move, it resets over and over. If you are using S+, try the hitching post.

There is a glitch/bug (very rare i might add but its there), where male and female dino's dont want to mate or give mateboosted bonus, in this rare case you can move out of render distance for a while (upload and download might work but also resets mating timers incase you dint lower them to 0.01) and when you come back its all good again.

Sounds to me the OP had this rare bug happen to him, so incase any of you have this happen to you, you know what to do now ^_^
