Here is a tip for breeding!
So, I for one find it a bother to have to build a cage for my dinos to breed in so they don't wander away from each other. So once, I picked up one of my raptors after putting it on wander, and put it on my bronto. Then I did the same with a female. They just sat in the same spot even though they were on wander and within 30 minutes the female had layed an egg. Hope some people found this helpful!:steamhappy:

Wonder if this works with the quetz platform also?

Dinos that are set to wander do not wander if

(1) On a platform saddles (Bronto, Mosasaur, Paracer, Plesiosaur, Quetz or Titanosaur)
(2) In a vacuum chamber (tek)
(3) Some special locations on some maps that have air but are underwater

That´s actually a cool idea, but how do I get my rexes on top of the bronto? ^^
Just kidding..

For smaller dinos and people that don't have access to platforms yet you can use signs to block the dinos movements instead of the cage method. Less resources needed and it stops dinos from moving

Does that work for teeny ones like compies and micros? Lil farts are so quick one gets away the other just vanishes and then you find em both an hour later stuck under teh parasaurs. :steamfacepalm:

LOL. I tried breeding my dilos by making a pen out of my bigger dinosaurs. Didn't work to well. the males were fine and stayed where they were, but the females somehow climbed over my sarcos tail and it took me ten minutes to round them all up.

just enable wander then rapidly press the "U" whistle. causes all creatures nearby to halt. so spam the whistle and theyll stay where you put em, afterv your done just turn off the wandering

I don't understand why people still seek alternative ways to mate their dinos. 1 minute to write a macro that spams U.........and then you go make a coffee everytime you have to mate them

the only tip you ever need for breeding is, hatch 20/30 eggs at a time maybe 50. Kill all the bad eggs, keep only the mutations. gg

...I just breed them in a building and use thatch walls to pen them in. Throw 4 of them up for small dinos...more for bigger dinos. They can still move around a bit, but not away from each other.

This works really well for smaller water dino breeding.

I much prefer trying to play tunes as I spam the u button

Spam "U" ... No need for the rest of this.

spamming U is currently listed as exploit:

So it will get fixed.
Good bye mass mating 200 rex at once...
