Food for Babies?
Hallo, peoples~! :D

Simple question... What food is best to feed baby dinos?
In my case, particularly, a baby raptor.

Thanks!

for a raptor, lots and lots and lots and lots of meat.

Yes, but is there a specific meat that helps? Or just any meat at all?

I think any sort of meat will work, and a whole lot of it.

Ok, thank you! This won't be easy, but we want this little bugger to live! :D

a newborn dodo eat through 1 nearly full feeding through of berries in about 1 hour.

wait for the patch and food consumption will be reduced by 60% also build 1-2 fridges nearby to store raw meat.

When you say a whole lot, how much are we really talking? 1000 raw meat for a baby raptor? 10000? 100? (I'd see for myself but am unable to play)

as of right now babies are bugged and will constantly eat food even if their food is full, because of the way that babies are set up, they have an artificial health/hunger cap that increases as the baby grows. so they are constantly eating to try and fill the hunger/food, but they keep getting reset to the cap, thus causing them to eat non-stop if food is available to them. The maturity bar goes up very slowly right now too, so you would be spending hours feeding the little garbage guts.

is anyone else having trouble gtting the babies to eat out of a trough?
VA gamer Oct 15, 2015 @ 5:56pm 
babies don't eat out of troughs - once they become juvenile, they can eat from troughs
XGTheKeeper Oct 15, 2015 @ 5:57pm 
they have to be juviniles to eat from the trough now

For the record, on a baby raptor I tried regular raw meat, prime meat, cooked prime meat, prime meat jerky and regular cooked meat and they all seemed to have the exact same effect.
