Does increasing a beaver's O2 stat increase its swimming speed?

[Excessive Paranoia]

Question in title.

Um, no.

Increasing its speed increases its speed...

[Dracul]

While I dont know for certain the likelyhood is extremely high that the answer is yes.

For a player, oxygen increases your swim speed more than movement speed does. However, I don't know if it works the same for dinos. I'm pretty sure it does, but I'm not 100% on it.

Increasing O2 stat on player increases swimming speed, so in theory, yes. Cant confirm, as my anky does not seem faster, in water, after increasing O2..

I've seen no change with dinos and oxygen at all. It has, in the past, only worked with movement speed increases. So unless that has changed in the time I've been away, movement speed is the stat that needs increasing.

considering beavers dont get the oxygen cylinder under water. If you want it to go faster put it in speed anyway.

I wasn't sure since i dont usually increase oxygen on any of my dinos; I was just making a connection since oxygen on players makes them swim faster that it might work with dinos as well.

Increasing oxygen on dino's increases the swim speed same as ppl. though as pointed out they dont have an oxygen stat to raise so you have only 1 choice

Well I can confirm after a quick test that land dinos at least do in fact get a swim speed boost with oxygen - I took a lowbie scorpion iv had in my base forever that id never leveled. Its base oxygen was 195 I swam around with it for a bit then crammed all its levels into oxygen and got it to 741 oxygen, definately swam faster lol but speed is certainly a better way to go. I have a scorp that has 385% movement and it hauls ass on land and water alike (faster than 741 oxygen scorp at any rate)

Well, you learn something new every day.

Thanks for the test.

I can confirm with testing I did earlier that Oxygen stat does NOT increase swim speed whatsoever on beavers. Regardless if you spawn a level 1 beaver or a 100000 beaver, or even if you pump 90 levels into Oxygen, it does not swim any faster. I dont know if this is an oversight, because the Oxygen stat will not regenerate to its new maximum after pumping it up with stat points, but as of now it does nothing for Beavers.

[Excessive Paranoia]

I honestly thought by now this would been a simple yes or no :P

That said, there is an easy way to test this in single player. Spawn in two beavers and grant them equal xp. First time them both (in case they have different starting stats) swimming between two points. Then level one only in oxygen and the other only in movement speed and then time them both again. This should indicate not only if oxygen stat increases swimming speed but also whether it increases swim speed more or less than movement speed.

Yeah anyone can do it in single player to see for themselves. It works on Trikes and Spinos and literally every other dino Im sure, but with Beavers it does not. I think its a side effect of preventing them from drowning in the wild tbh. But when I spawned in a level 3500 Spino and force tamed it, as soon as I stepped in the water I zoomed to Carno island in a second, and got launched out of the water into the air, hit the ceiling of the map, and died. So it works, just not for Giant Beavers.

Increasing oxygen adds to every other dinos speed while swimming, are beavers an oddity?

[edit: looks like i was late to the party again]

And you didn't record a video of that because why??
