Baby cuddle. Help.
I have trouble finding the right maturation and imprinting settings, it's either too fast, too slow, or it would grow up before I can get the 100% imprint. RIght now I have:
mature speed: 10
Baby cuddle interval: 0.01
Baby cuddle grace period: 5.0
and Stat scale: 2.0
I know what each of them do (except cuddle grace period). Right now these settings would take a bit for the baby to grow up (about 5-6? minutes), but requires too many imprinting (10% each) and probably won't get all of them since I have no kibbles as of yet and it would grow before I can get the 100%.


Longstory short if anyone tells me a good setting for a singleplayer that won't take a long time for the baby to grow and take one or two imprint to finish, I'd greately appreciate it.

I think you might be able to 100% it with those settings, even without kibble.

Or mod it?

Baby premium care instant 100% imprints .... s+Nanny cares/feeds auto imprints claimed babies.

Nope. Got to 30%, then it asked for a kibble.

Oof. What kibble did it ask for?

I have no kibble for the nanny, but I guess I'll mod it. Would've preffered having a dependable setting.

Dimorph, which doesn't spam in Aberration.

Ravager. Do you play in single player and have a setting?

I've never had that problem. All Aberrant Native creatures I've raised have asked for cuddles, aberrant kibble, and walks.

They actually do seem to spawn on Aberration, they are verry rare but i spotted a couple at the end of the element river near the rock drake area. So they do seem to roam around the red biome, it even has a spawn map entry on the wiki.

PS: i think the server i play on has a cuddle interval of 0.1, and that seems to work quite well with quick growth settings. As a matter of fact i think only our hatching, mating and mature rates have been raised, and the others have been lowered to 0.1 aside from stat multiplier that is still at the default if im not mistaken. Seems to work rather well for us.

Baby cuddle grace period, is the period of time where you can forget about imprinting and not lose the bonuses (lets say your doorbell rings and you spend your time there instead of imprinting, when you get back you wont lose the bonus from it if its within said grace period). And the BabyCuddleLoseImprintQualitySpeedMultiplier kinda a speaks for itself, it kicks in after the grace period and determines how much quality is lost (although i do find the wiki kinda lacking on details on these settings aside from maturation, hatching and mating invervals). Feel free to correct me if im wrong, but thats what i can gather from the info currently on the wiki.

I'll keep adjusting it. No it's helpful, thank you.

Thats what I use:

MatingIntervalMultiplier=0.001
EggHatchSpeedMultiplier=20.0
BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=50.0
BabyFoodConsumptionSpeedMultiplier=0.25
BabyImprintingStatScaleMultiplier=1.0
BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier=0.0464
BabyCuddleGracePeriodMultiplier=10.0
BabyCuddleLoseImprintQualitySpeedMultiplier=0.0

There is no way to get 100% imprint without kibble 100% of the time, sometime they'll ask. So if you dont have any kibble only way to bypass without cheating mods like kibble table or baby premium care is actually raise several dinos and kill all you dont get 100% imprint.

edit: Ive pretty much sure on aberration they will never ask dimorph kibble, only dimetrodon. on aberration you need 11 different kibbles for imprinting: carbo, carno, spino, trike, anky, bary, raptor, dimetrodon, glowtail, featherlight, and rock drake
