Hatching settings

[eddy0290]

I have put the egglayinginterval, egghatching, and dinomaturing, times into my settings the default settings=1 do I need to make the number bigger or smaller to make the times shorter?

[DarthaNyan]

[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
MatingIntervalMultiplier=0.1
EggHatchSpeedMultiplier=10.0
BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=10.0

To speed up everything 10 times.

Do I need to put the [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode] line before it to work. What about the dinosaur pooping and egg laying settings?

[DarthaNyan]

not sure about pooping or egg laying, but you do need to put that line with brackets as well unless you already have it in your Game.ini. If you do - just append those 3 lines at the bottom.

[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
This line isn't needed.

You just need to add these lines:

MatingIntervalMultiplier=1 (Default 1) Higher value decreases time needed to lay a fertilized egg.
EggHatchSpeedMultiplier=1 (Default 1) Higher value decreases the time needed for an egg to hatch.
BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=1 (Default 1) Higher values decrease the time needed for a dino to mature.

dont spread false info please.

Ok I'll try that nizi

This didn't work for me, whenever I launch the game and go back and look at the .ini file the changes are made are gone, (yes I saved them after I added the new lines)

any ideas?

And any chance you could say why this is false and what is correct? Just stating that it isn't true isn't all that helpful...

Wrong wrong and wrong. Please know what you are talking about before trying to help.

To the OP.

This line: [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode] IS needed if it is not already in the ini file.

This line: MatingIntervalMultiplier=1 for faster interval between mating requires a lower number than 1. i.e. 0.5 or 0.1 etc.

The EggLayingInterval has no affect on dropping fertilized eggs, as far is I am aware, but I could be wrong.

That only increases the speed by 10% not 10 times. Those setting are in percent not times.

But like others had said you will need to have the "[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]" as the first line and the on the next line add the others. I have mine set as follows below and my females mate instantly with no cool down and I can hatch an egg in less then 15 minutes some quicker then that. Plus it only takes about 15 minutes to get through the baby stage and after that just fill the dino up on food and they are good. This is as long as you have the dino food setting set lower or a feed bin for them.

In my Game.ini file I added this setting, but only add "[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]" if it's not already there. If it is don't add it again just add everything else below.

[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
MatingIntervalMultiplier=0
EggHatchSpeedMultiplier=30
BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=50

And in my GameUserSetting.ini I have this set to where they will not starve once you get them out of baby stage.

DinoCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier=0.5

so have people got this working? Which .ini file do we edit? there's a bunch in various file paths

You are correct, that only affects the rate they drop regular eggs.

/Steam/steamapps/common/ARK/Saved/Config/Game.ini

^^ That's the location for me on Single Player. At least if I remember correctly off the top of my head.

You add the above settings to the "Game.ini" file that is located in this directory "ShooterGame\Saved\Config\WindowsServer". This is for a hosted server anyways.

Ok...so the line "BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=50" would have what effect? would it make maturation 50 times faster, or 50% faster? or what?
