Which Multipliers Affect Which Part of the Breeding Process?
I'm working on implementing breeding multipliers for the breeding times in the Dododex taming calculator[www.dododex.com] and I wanted to make sure I understand the breeding multipliers correctly and what part of the process they affect.

Are these calculations correct?:

EggHatchSpeedMultiplier=1.0
* Affects the speed at which an egg hatches. (2.0 = twice as fast)
* This also affects pregnancy for mammals, correct?

BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=1.0
* Affects maturation speed once baby is born.
* This does not affect egg hatching/pregnancy times, correct?

MatingIntervalMultiplier=1.0
* Affects the speed at which creatures can mate again.

Are there any other multipliers that affect breeding times?

Wish I could offer more insight into this than to suggest that Crumplecorn recently added them to their breeding calculator at http://ark.crumplecorn.com/breeding/ (I mean like within the last week) so perhaps you can figure it out from looking at that site (or its code) or asking the developer.
And while I'm thinking about it... one thing Crumplecorn's breeding calc doesn't tell me (at least not directly) is when the *effective* end of babyhood is. If the creature's final weight is 100 you know babyhood ends when it's at 10. However, there's a moment before this when you can put enough food into the baby's current weight capacity that'll tide it over to that moment. That is, the moment when the current buffer equals the time left in the baby stage. If you could figure out how to calculate when that will be, *in advance*, so I'd know when I *really* have to plan to be stuck in the nursery until, that'd be a great feature and another chance for you to leapfrog over Crumplecorn. (Unless Crumplecorn is telling me this somewhere and I can't make it out...)

Yes, you are correct
