Juvenile Feeding trough

[pmuecke]

I'm about to hatch an spino egg at around 1 pm , my server has EggHatchSpeedMultiplier: 1.5
BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier: 2.0 , so around 7-8 pm it should become a juvenile , now i was wondering if i leave my spino alone letting it feed from a feeding trough from about 9.45pm till 5-6pm the next day , will my spino survive or not ?

1 stack of meat lasts 12 hours in feeding trough if i remeber correct

A trough is good for 13 hours before it all becomes spoiled.

If you absolutely cannot get on to refill before that, fill a second trough with cooked meat, it takes longer to spoil per piece and can be stacked in 30's.

Maybe overkill, but you could also have a third trough with a whack of cheap kibble such as dodo kibble, and/or cooked meat jerky. That won't spoil at all and the baby will not start on it until their is no raw or cooked meat available iirc.

Any idea howlong cooked meat takes before it's all spoiled ?

...........as long as it has food, it lives. Plug away into the calc, and see if it will. Use the feeding trough calc.

I would highly recommend filling multiple troughs with food. One with raw meat, and at least one more, preferrable filled with cooked meat, jerky, and/or cheap kibble so that it doesn't spoil. They don't grant as much 'food' as raw meat, but it'll last until the raw meat has been completely consumed.
It won't survive off of one trough, unless you have the food consumption rate also decreased.
For my spino (with vanilla rates), I had 3 troughs - 1 filled with raw meat, one filled with raw and cooked meat, and one that had jerky/kibble in it just in case something went bad. I also tried to keep its inventory filled with cooked meat and jerky/kibble just in case something happened to the troughs. It never wound up eating from its own inventory, but better safe than sorry.

I wouldn't think you should need multiple troughs. The dino will take the raw meat over the cooked then the kibble last. That kibble idea will probably be your best because it's got a very long shelf life and stacks to 100 rather than 20 (raw meat) or 30 (cooked meat). Dodo kibble only takes a few minutes to gin up a good sized batch.

wel i'm about to put 1 trough with raw meat and 2 with cooked meat , will it survive then ?

You ppl are worst then a 5 years old you don't have to do a fking thing put some meat and get out of render and go back later like later later and you will see the magic how is already grown up i left mine over night and everything was fine next day only with food in inventory, i did the same with babys full inventory and out of render they were still there kicking.

As long as you're in range you have to feed them like a mad man hope you get it.

well it's my first time breeding as you prop notice , so what you say is that i can just simply put food in it's inventory and troughs and then log off in the same building and when i come back like 18-19 houres later it will still be there ? (This is in MP tho don't know how you did this)

Or not nearly as much at least. I've tried this before and after the .3 patch and it has been the case for both times. Last night (before patch) I filled around ten troughs with bunch of meat and berries, expecting the babies to die based on their food consumption. I went to sleep and came back around 8 hours later to nearly all of the food still in the troughs and the babies now juveniles, with the turtle being an adolescent.

I continued to test this with the turtle. This time only filling half of a trough before logging off. Came back again to all of the berries still there and the turtle completely grown.

It seems the best way to raise dinos, is to actually be offline. Just fill a trough or their inventory and log off. The food should still be there (give or take you loading in or out), and the maturation rate should still progress. So as long as the area your baby is in is not loaded by any players, this should work.

Shame that this might be the easiest way to experience the new content....by not being online for it. However I'm hoping they make a few tweaks to at least make dino breeding playable or enjoyable. It's such a nice system that is bogged down with all this unnecessary time restriction.

This was on an unofficial server, which is up 24/7. Anyone also run into this?

EDIT: Patch notes for 219.4 released. Which should fix the trough issue and further decrease the maturation time.
