Yeah, you practically have to kibble tame it, or have a fridge filled with prime meat, or have a friend go gather prime meat. Or use raw meat, whatever you want to do...It's ridiculous.

Not just that either..Q-bird kibble..why them ? and to make the Kibble for Q-bird eggs is Nuts..why not something else like Carno Kibble or Trike just seems a bit of an Odd Kibble to give it..

Cooked prime is a bit faster than raw meat.
I was taming one yesterday. I'd already used a bazillion narcs. I crashed, came back, he'd woken up and I'd lost the hundreds of narcs and prime I had on him.

Stupid lizards.

Becuase wildcard seems to think it's just a ls good as an electric powered AC... which its not even close and for the taming cost.. which is absurd you can easily farm a generator and 4/5 AC units and a few hundred Gass to keep it all running. I'm sorry the dime was a wasted creature. Only alphas with a stable of egg laying quezt can afford to tame them. And no one gives up quetz eggs becuase GIGA GIGA GIGA GIGA GIGA

There's not a lot of difference between the kibble tame and the prime meat tame for this one. You will either need two people or a fridge. If using the two person method, one must be constantly watching its torpor while the other gathers small amounts of prime meat at a time. Throw in a few stacks of raw meat for if it runs out of prime while you are waiting for your partner to return with more prime. We tamed two fairly easily this way.

The second method is a lot easier. Get something that can hold a platform. Paracers are good for mid level although a quetz is best. Put a generator on it and a fridge or two. Gather as much prime as you can quickly and put it into those fridges asap as you gather. They should last 2 to three hours. Once you have plenty knock out the dimetrodon and start feeding it narcotics straight away as needed. You can try starve it for the whole tame time then once it's starved sufficiently enough you can start putting all the prime in. Chuck in a few stacks of raw meat as well just in case the prime goes off or you don't have enough.

If you have two people and a mobile fridge then it's too easy, just get the other person to gather another few loads of prime meat and put it straight in the fridges just before you are done starving the dino. That way it should be still fairly fresh once you dump it all in there. You really want at least a rex to help gather the prime, with the ultimate prime gatherer being the giga.
if a dino can help you survive in the hottest/coldest envioments it shoud be hard to get

how is it not as good as an electric AC?

You ride it to where you want to control the temperature, you overburden it and put it on passive, and it can't go anywhere. Works fine. Cheap as hell.

It's not that hard to tame them with prime meat, and they are more useful for their eggs. Opens the door for easier galli, terror bird, and beaver taming plus some of the future dino releases will rely on this link in the kibble progression.

Find someone who has a pair and ask them to give you a fertalised egg, they're pretty easy raises. Much better than the hassle of taming a wild one. And I don't know if it's my good/bad luck but they seem to have a very high percentage of giving twins and triplets. from the 5 eggs I've hatched I've had 3 sets of twins and one of triplets.

Just tame a lvl 4-8 one. Only takes 5-6 kibbles and around 30 minutes. When you have a male and female just breed em till u have enough. At least thats what I did.

What's the baby stage time for dimetrodon? Can't see it on survive-ark

Just shy of five hours, they don't wolf down massive amounts of food either so you can leave them for pretty extended periods after around about an hour or so.

Hmm nice, I wanted a few more might start stockpiling a few fertilized eggs.
