any breeding female in a S+ propagator that is caused to stop breeding, will not finish their mating cool down until they are removed from propagator for the remainder of the timer.

if propagator is holding eggs and gets full. breeding halts completely until females are removed from propagator and allowed to coo ldown then can be put back in and will breed again. same complete halt to breeding if it is turned off and restarted. mating cool down never end. cool down is normally about ten minutes and ive left a set in for over an hour without them breeding after being stopped and then restarted. hope someone has an idea what the problem might be. a bit annoying. thanks

mine does this now, we cant figure out what setting we messed up to fix it in the server INI's, what did you do to fix it?

I didn't have a problem with it when I last played Ark (soon after ASA was announced). I was mutation breeding, so left them in the S+ propagator, but disabled breeding after a mutated male was born who had the stats I was looking for. Sometimes, I forgot to disable breeding or remove the obsolete mutated male, and when I returned, the propagator was full of eggs that were useless to me, and females not ready to breed again.

However, in my case, breeding cooldowns could be as high as in the 8 hour range, which might have been close to official. So my wild guess is that the S+ propagator uses the official breeding cooldowns, not the servers? Whatever, I didn't have a problem with it, except for me forgetting to remove the male or turn off breeding.

propagator has to have 1 slot free for a breed cycle. if females get through the cooldown and the prop doesnt register an empty slot, the egg will pop into unexistence and your females start another cooldown.
basically, you aren't able to leave prop running overnight and log into 1000 eggs.
