Mutation help

[Skegg]

Hypothetically, if I have a Tek Rex line with 250 HP mutations, can I breed that with a Tek Rex line with 250 Melee mutations and get the best of both lines? And even add Stam and Weight mutation lines for super adventure rexes? Because I've heard something about a mutation cap being at 250-something for a single stat, but not for multiple stats...

Similarly, if I reach that mutation cap for a single stat, am I then able to level it up beyond that with XP?

The hard coded stat cap is 255, afaik any points after this do weird things like reset the stat counter to 1.

Looks like I'll have to do some science, then!

AFAIK dinos over level 450 will wipe on server restart

I'm on an unofficial server, so that doesn't bother me.

Also, talking about mutation caps, not level caps...

To be fair you appeared to have quoted stats, not mutations.
And merging those two sets of stats would put you over the default level cap. So just bringing that to your attention.

As far as actual mutation caps, i.e. 20 pat mat, you can exceed that stupidly easy as I assume you already are aware of having gotten such high stats

mutations wont affect ability to merge stats, you can breed and combine any stats from parents no matter the level or amount of mutations, yes you can add 73 levels to the 255 base if you like.

the game will no longer allow you to level a dino above the set cap anymore on official, but im not sure about unofficial, basically theres just unused levels and ability to level goes away like its maxed.

unofficial if your dino level is increased to allow the points then sure

You cannot add domesticated levels if creatures base stat is 255. If the base stat is 254 you however can add all the domesticated 73 lvl up or 88 for x creatures.

You can breed infinitely for mutations. Thats not the issue.

The issue is how you breed for such. Tons of vids on yt about this.
