Breeding - Imprinting 100%
I have put something together that I hope it will help everyone else. This spreadsheet will help any private servers to tweak their mature and cuddle interval multipliers. If someone makes an application based on this, that will be great. I just threw this together for visibility.

To use this spreadsheet, you will need to go to the Duration tab. Enter the cuddle interval on the cell B2. It will calculate automatically for you and find the mature multiplier you are using, from 2 to 500. Below that tab, I had a separate calculation for individual dinos. This tab is being referenced on the other two tabs.

Note: If you make changes to the other two tabs, it will possibly break something so if you know what you are doing, go ahead.

Mature/Cuddle Interval calculation[drive.google.com]

Dino Interactions:
1. Cuddle
2. Walk
3. Kibble

FYI, the kibbles are random every time. The kibbles that are being used for interactions are:
Ankylo
Carbonemys
Dilo
Dimetrodon
Dimorphodon
Dodo
Gallimimus
Lystrosaurus
Pachy
Parasaur
Pteranodon
Raptor
Stego
Terror Bird
Triceratops

Kibbles needed in Scorched Earth:
Camelsaurus or Morellatops
Gallimimus
Mantis
Spiney Lizard or Thorny Dragon
Terror Bird
Vulture

Kibbles needed in Aberration (new - 1/12/2018)
Ankylo
Baryonyx
Carbonemys
Dimetrodon
Featherlight
Glowtail
Raptor
Rock Drake
Spino
Stego
Trike

Updated the duration tab, less clutter.

Thank you! I hope that will help

Off topic a bit but I wish they would change imprint to character initiated interaction i.e. I rub my dino's tummy and it emotes like now for walk/pet/kibble. Put that ineraction creating the emote on a cool down of 15 mins to an hour and let the players initiate the imprint so we can sleep or go to work. Then it is totally our fault if we cant get a 100% imprint bonus. Please help us with this developers, your current mechanic is terrible.

I agree. I hope there is a pause something so you can sleep, eat, or relax.

so do i change cuddle rate or mature rate cuz changhing one or the other doesn't affect the other :p
crepemyrtlesl Jun 13, 2016 @ 4:18pm 
Well, it depends on what you want to change. If you have a mature multiplier of 20 and you want to cover all dinos, not specific ones, put the lowest cuddle interval you need. But if you want to cover few dinos especially the higher ones, then choose the best interval for you. The lowest maturation duration is for dodos and lystrosaurus and the highest one is for giga. I did both spectrum to cover all dinos. The last one I did is for a specific dino if you want to find out the imprint % and the cuddle count.

You will just have to play with the best rate you need :)

wel i was just trying to figure out whats the best cuddle rate for 500x maturation rate, but your thing isen't telling me what that is, maybe i'm blonding it up, i dunno... i'm all for lowering maturation rate but notb so low that it takes quetzels[example] an hour to mature.. busy schedual and all :p

If you have downloaded the spreadsheet, you enter all the things under Duration tab, bolded text. You can enter 500 on the cell for mature multiplier. Under the creatures name, type quetzal. If you want to see the best rate, try to enter between 0.01 to 0.05 for cuddle interval multiplier.

For example, if you enter 500 for mature multiplier and the cuddle interval is 0.03 (5 to 7 minutes interval) and have the quetzal listed, the imprinting % will be 32.4%, however, the possibility of getting of 4 imprints will be too tight. If you do 0.02 (3 to 4 minutes interval), the imprinting % will be 21.6%, and the cuddle counts are between 4 to 6. With this cuddle interval rate, you can have 5 imprints. You really want a good gap between the minimum and maximum cuddle count so you can have that extra minutes after it imprints at 100%.

I put a list of kibbles the baby wants per interaction.
EfoABA Jun 16, 2016 @ 12:48pm 
i need to set the mature at the sam cuddle?! or i can choice mature x3 and cuddle x1 and still get 100% on all the dinos?!

sorry for my english.
crepemyrtlesl Jun 16, 2016 @ 12:52pm 
What mature rate do you have right now, Misdeath?
EfoABA Jun 16, 2016 @ 1:15pm
