Increasing chance of Fertilized eggs

[KingQuack]

I want to increase the chance of my Argy spawning a fertilized egg, they keep making eggs but none are fertilized. Is there a way to make them have more fertile eggs and is there a reason this is happening?

[esthergray]

None? If there are none, then check whether they are opposite sex. Are you sure they both have mating enabled on their wheels? If these are both correct, add more females to the male. A few oviraptors on wander and weighted down with wood or stone will improve chances of fertilized eggs.

Chance of fertilised? I'm not sure I understand...

It's quite straight forward to get fertilised eggs from animals... You get them to mate...

Spawning fertilized eggs is not by chance, it is done by enabling mating on a male and female of the same species. Unfertilized eggs drop at a set interval that varies by a few minutes.

Fertilized eggs are only able to be done by enabling mating between a male and female argent when they are close to each other. Otherwise all other eggs made will be 100% unfertilized.

I know I need to enable mating, because I've done that, but none of the eggs I am getting are fertilized. I want to know if there is a way to increase the chance of the egg being fertile rather than not in the settings.

Mating has a cool down to it.
You only get a single fertilised egg until that cool down expires.

As mentioned by others. The mechanics for fertilised and unfertilised eggs are completely separate. There's no "increasing the chance" involved.

I can only assume that you have a cool down occurring

This basically is saying you do not understand how breeding works nor how fertilization works. Period.

If you are not getting fertilized eggs, it is because of these following possibilities:

1. You do not have a male and female version(ie a mating pair). Need a mommy and a daddy.

2. You do not have a mating pair next to each other, with mating enabled. A multi heart icon appears over their head when mating and a mating bar appears on the female's info when you're close to it. Then when the bar reaches full, 100% guaranteed, a fertilized egg will drop. There is no "chance". Its guaranteed.

3. Your dino's are doing point 2 BUT after breeding, they are on the breeding cooldown(again visible timer on the female's info when looking at it. Point 2 cannot be done again until the timer is complete. This is a setting though, and you can change it to be much shorter or 0 if you wish(not recommended though to be 0).

---

So all in all if you -still- don't understand how breeding works, please go to youtube and watch any number of videos on how to do it.

Again its not a % chance as you seem to incorrectly be thinking.

Don't forget option
4. They're currently following something which will prevent mating action no matter what you do.
Remove follow on your dinos.

Yep thanks. Forgot that one.

Good call. I didn't know that, myself. And I've made some really stupid mistakes, like trying to mate lymantrias when they couldn't be bred. It took me awhile to figure that one out.
