My turtles don't lay eggs

[Helenth]

I tamed two (female and male) for eggs a couple days ago. But I don't see any eggs. I want to tame high lvl bronto to new base using kibble, but now I'm wondering if I'll be able to do that.
Any ideas, why my turtles don't want to lay this eggs?

The egg laying rate is 1% chance for an egg instead of a poop. 2% chance when mate boosted. The best way to farm any egg is to tame about 9 females to 1 male and you should get decent rates.

or get the new dino bo boost egg laying/collecting..

I know that, but my all other dinos lay eggs more often.
Mayby I needs to force them to lay this eggs? Using mating. What do you think? Will they lay eggs?

[Desertworld]

well that's how stochastics work... 1% can mean in your PERSONAL experience that 1 dinos lays an egg every few hours and another dino doesn't lay a single egg for a few days. just get more dinos to increase your possibility to get eggs.

If you mate them then yes. Though they're rates are still the same as other dinos. when they lay an egg it will decompose after 30 minutes so u may have just missed them. also the factor of 1-2% chance means they can often go for a long time without laying any and the at other times u get the more often completely by chance.

I have the same issue with all my dinos. i get from dilos most often as i have 3 females

Also I have noticed dinos seem to lat eggs more when you are in the area around them and they are rendered, then when you are away or off line.

Anything outside of a certain area of influance of a survivor goes into a "Stasis" mode which slows anything that takes anyform of time increment to happen.

My dinos lay many eggs after couple of minutes/seconds when I arrived to one of my base. They can lay sometimes even 10 eggs (I have 40-50 dinos).

Except that 1% nor 2% take into account all of the bugs in the egg laying system.

Example 1:
I have my egg farm located at 48 lat, 43 lon in the flat river beach sand with about 50 or so dinos. If I fly into render range of the dinos then immediately fly away (east, south, west or north) until they disappear, wait 2 minutes, then fly back and repeat the process. After about 4 or 5 times (about 10 - 15 minutes of work) of doing I get 40 - 50 eggs. This is on the EU-PVE-OfficialServer 122 so there's obviously no code tweaking here.

Bugs w/ Example 1:
My quetzals don't lay eggs! The fix is simple yet highly HIGHLY annoying. The eggs spawn in the sky at 50, 50 about 30 or so walls high (from the edge of the cliff face). From what I understand it's either caused by the egg laying offset OR it has something to do with the platforms on top of the quetzals.



Example 2:
My friend has a base at 60, 25 on top of the cliff. He has about 30 or 40 dinos up here now. He had more but I told him to move them elsewhere. It's extremely rare for these dinos to lay eggs unless you sit there and run the 17 minute AFK egg laying timer. Even then the amount of eggs that spawn is very low.

Bugs w/ Example 2:
The eggs all through the terrain when the dinos exit stasis! This is old news to some of us, but many still argue for some reason that this was fixed when the egg laying timer was introduced. The people that do this must never leave their bases or something silly like that. The fix is annoying but also simple. Move the dinos to flat river (or possibly ocean) beach sand. It's as simple as that.

There is an even worse bug with quetzal egg laying here. They DO lay eggs if I run the 17 minute AFK dino egg laying timer, but who has time for that?!?! I've tried putting them up on ramps and also on ceilings but neither works and the eggs still fall through the terrain. What's even worse is that these eggs DO NOT spawn in the sky at 50, 50 so they are simply lost. I believe this is because the base in on a cliff and when the eggs fall through the terrain they don't fall the entire way down to oblivion. I'm not 100% I'm still trying to figure this one out :)



Example 3:
After I explained to my friend why he wasn't getting eggs he moved his 80+ dinos to 56, 27 on the flat beach sand. He now gets a lot of eggs but only with certain dinos.

Bugs w/ Example 3:
Egg laying is perfectly fine on flat beach sand, but if there is any other type of terrain added into the sand (those small tufts of grass) it will cause the eggs to fall through when the dinos exit stasis. The fix is once again annoying .... he has to move his dinos around, swapping dinos of a certain type onto the flat beach sand every few days.









In short, yes it has everything to do with personal experience but it has very little to do with percentages due to all the egg laying bugs still in game. If the dev's were smart they would remove egg laying when the dinos exit stasis and lower the 17 minute afk egg laying timer to something like 5 minutes. It's ridiculous that I can get 100+ eggs in 1 hour when someone else with the same amount of dinos gets maybe 20.

tame more turtles.... chances will go up

[ghoul slayer]

Yeah, tame more turtles. 1 Male and 3-4 females got us over 100 eggs lol. Got 2 high level brontos thanks to those turtles because they sometimes laid double eggs. Out of all dinos turtle had the most eggs.

Oh, I didn't know that. Thanks. I build my base on clif:

And mayby it's because of that I can't find any eggs from my turtles. But the strangest thing is that I have the most eggs from my base inside Vulcan. I have there mateboosted raptors and dilos, ankylo and one carno, that lay more eggs than dilos (which is weird.)
Mayby if I move this two turtles there:

Will they finally lay eggs?
I can put them in water or next to water and I can swim under this constructions to get eggs if any will fall thrught the floor.

Space your dinos out. So they aren't touching each other.
Put them on the ground. Not a floor or ramp.
Stay near them.
Feed them either in thier Inv or from a feeding trough.

Pick up eggs.

My turtles are standing on the ground and they eat from feeding trough. And there is no eggs from them. This base is my main base, so I spend there most of my time in game. I often check my dinos for eggs. And my two, new Rexes lay few eggs and my turtles not (I tamed them in the same time).

Try and see what happens. Come back and let us know what you did and what the outcome was.
