No wild eggs?
In my singleplayer game i seem to be unable to find any sort of eggs in the wild, any solution? Am i doing it wrong?

eggs are rare and since most SP dinos remain in stasis thus do not poop/lay eggs its safe to assume why

You probably have egg rates set to 0, try setting it to 1

You need to be in the area with the dinos loaded in long enough for them to lay eggs to.

I find them now and then, usually in clusters where an oviraptor has been running around.

Edit the ini, not sure how but the info is out there if you look.

Eggs are extremely rare in SP since most things are in stasis. Open your GameSettings.ini and set the egg rate to something like 0.2 or 0.4 so they spawn faster. Probably should do the same for crops, breeding, etc., other things that would normally happen when you're not playing.

When you quit Your sp world the server shuts down itself and stops all processes.In multiplayer even if you log out everything is still happening real time 24/7

But they where talking about stasis when your to far away from dinos

That... is complicated to explain and I am not sure if I can do so well and accuratly but I can try.

Whenever the dinos are not in render distance, to reduce memory usage a lot of the data that makes them visable to you, and tells them when to do something is put on halt. Reduced if not illiminated to a few calculations and data in the background. Whenever they render in distance to you again they either pick up and calculate where and how they should be in the time you were gone. Or it is picked up right where it is left off. Depending how it is coded.

I'm not a coder so this is just my limited understanding of how it works. Someone can correct me or explain it better if they wish.

But basicly if everything going on in the game had to be kept up all at once at all times it would have a much more sever impact on your system and game perfomance especially on singleplayer where the data is stored on your computer and not a server. Stasis is when the information for them is halted or slowed to a crawl. This is usually when they are not in render distance, especially in singleplayer.
