Managarmr Mutations?

[Black.Wings]

Im trying to stat breed my "Nyoom Dragons" but after 30 babies I havent gotten a single mutation. Is this just extreme bad luck or are they bugged? They are both lvl 190 with the same stats. Im getting kinda distraught. Any Tips?

Its completely based off RNG. I believe there is only a 2% chance of mutation as well so the odds are certainly against you.

You can go through this guide for more information. I found it super helpful.

Mana's are a pain to try to breed for mutations on. It is because of how huge they are, it is hard to get one male +a bunch of females close enough to breed, plus the babies are crazy, how they launch away from the mother the instant they pop out. so the females have to be in a sealed off room.

Personally, I got a couple of good mutations on them, and then just stopped my Mana breeding program.

30 babies is just terrible luck to have no mutations at all on.

I've been breeding rexes and yutys recently - sometimes I get a mutation on the first egg, but sometimes I can go a good 100+ without a thing. If I could be guaranteed at least one mutation every 30 babies I'd be laughing.

If you have the materials and the S+ mod, you could make the S+ Mutator,(consumes element to do a mutation pulse, nearby dinos that mate within the next 5 min are guaranteed a mutation on the baby) but personally that item feels a bit too cheaty to me, so I haven't actually used it.

This is true, however in my case I'm breeding for the bosses, so I haven't actually got much tek unlocked yet. Not gonna lie though, I did spawn a mutator in when I was getting my daedon mutations (I'm playing solo so no cheating other players), because live births take so, so much longer than eggs.

Just wanted to get the darn things over with, and I figured since I've proven I can get the mutations naturally all I would be cheating was time, not resources or anything. And I threw the mutator away once I had the muts I needed.

Oh there is no judgement, man. Playing solo (which is what I do) means playing the way you want to play.

FYI, for live births, the Dino Storage 2 mod has an incredible side-ability you can do where babies in range of the storage station are automatically claimed and cryo'ed into the storage container. Which gives you an S+ hatchery style breeding tool for live births and not just eggs.

Hmm, interesting, not really looked into that mod. Have to check it out, thanks for the info^^
