Balanced egg hatching settings?

[Scar]

I've been looking around discussions etc and all the settings for single player (that people seem to use) seem to be extremely quick (which I get, people don't have tons of time but I don't exactly want things just given to me I may as well force tame if that's the case), has anyone that doesn't mind it taking a decent amount of time have any good settings? I can easily wait a few hours (depending on dino) for them to hatch/breed/mature/imprint.

I did open up a discussion last year but was unable to find it.

I use settings on my server/solo games which have small dinos growing up in about 15mins, but large dinos taking 2-3 hours or so, if that would be of interest to you? I do have egg hatching and mating interval turned up quite a lot, but you could adjust that to taste...

EDIT: Figured I'd post them anyway in case anyone wanted them.

MatingIntervalMultiplier=0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001
EggHatchSpeedMultiplier=120.0
BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=37.0
BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier=0.03

Mating interval so fast simply because, when breeding for mutations, having a female sat there doing nothing but waiting to be ready to mate doesn't make for an easy mutation grind.

With this setting imprints are roughly every 14-16 mins, and 100% should be possible to achieve on all creatures.

With our private server settings smaller animals take about 30 minutes to mature, some of the larger ones up to 2 or 3 hours. Not sure how well these settings for Ark Server Manager would apply to your single player settings in Ark, but might help:

Mating Interval: 0.002 (Really quick so animals can mate again within a couple minutes)
Mating Speed: 1
Egg Hatch Speed: 100 (Pretty quick, but will still take a few minutes)
Baby Mature Speed: 100 (Definitely a lot quicker than official, but not instantly)
Baby Food Consumption Speed: 0.25

Cuddle Interval: 0.04 (For a lot of animals this means just 1 "cuddle" is needed to get 100% imprinting. For larger animals it can take up to 5. I believe with this setting some of the very small animals might not have enough time maturing to hit at least 1 "cuddle". But it's been a long time since I've experienced this.)

Definitely sounds too quick for me, but I may try it later on, thanks

Wish I could bookmark discussions so I wouldn't have to post lol I'll try to remember it
