is 255 still the stat cap?

i had a friend tell me that after genesis they couldn't get their dinos past 254, has it changed or do they just not know what they're doing?

It's a hard cap in code.

iirc its 255 points in each stat, not a 255 cap. for officials I believe any dino that goes over level 449 will be deleted upon a server restart.

But to directly answer the question, like Kitsune said it is hard coded, don't see that changing any time soon (the 255 *in each stat*). If they can't go past a total dino level of 254 that's their own settings.

Question 1: A Mutation gives 2 Stat points, right?
Question 2: If you add 2 to 254, what do you get?

The levels get deleted, not the dino itself.

how long since you tested this?

i currently have some allos i've been constantly mutating on the server i play on and have reached 254 melee stat points through mutations. now i leveled the thing only into melee giving it approx another 60 points on top of the 254. i knew there was a chance the stat would break but i wanted to test it. i thought about leaving the allo out for server restart but i decided to cryo it. next day after server restart the allo stat has not changed. i decided to clone it and will leave the clone out tonight for server restart in the morning to see what happens

Mated/tamed levels... and experience levels... are stored in separate variables. So you can continue to level a stat with experience that has already capped its mated stat points out.

Ooooh that's good to know! Thanks for clearing that up 👍😁

Also, on official servers you can no longer level a creature past 450, eliminating the over-leveled creature getting wiped on server reset issue. If you try to hatch an egg that would be over the level cap it simply pops as empty.

Dinos have wild lvls and tamed lvls
Both get set back to 0 once you go over 255.
Wild stats are the ones increased by mutations etc , tamed lvls can only be gained by lvling up a stat.
