Taming not working on local server?
When I put food in any dinos inventory they do not auto eat when I remote feed them berries their tame bar doesn't go up either, is this a common issue?

Remote feed does not do anything to assist in taming other than waste food
Only remote use narcoberries or the like.

It takes time before they eat their first snack. Varies on level it seems.

GIve it a few minutes and they should eat their first. ..
I never timed feeding but it seems like about 3 minutes or thereabout between each time
they eat from inventory

I play local solo play .

I suggest you make sure the tame slider in menus is as far to right as it will go, that is level 3.. shortens the tame time.
Default is 1

I had this happen also. I found that if you set the dino hunger option to 3.0, that the dinosaur's hunger (whether tamed OR not) will never decrease, and therefore you can never tame them. Seems like a bug to me.

I can't figure a time when an untamed dino's food need would ever matter, except for how quickly you could tame them.....

In any event, it's nice for solo because you don't have to worry about getting them food. However, not being able to tame is definitely frustrating. If there was a separate server setting for untamed vs. tamed dinos, this would fix. I know I would love to cause untamed dinos to have a greater hunger level than tamed. Would effectively increase taming speed, but you would certainly need to have plenty of food on hand for that.
I had the same problem, when ever I tried to put food into the inventory of the dinos, the taming meter would never go up, in fact, the taming bar wouldn't show up in the first place. please help, i really want to start getting some high leveled dinos in a local game, but with this bug or something, i'm being seriously delayed

Make sure your server settings don't have the Dino Food Rate set so that it never gets hungry. This is a loophole that makes it so you cannot tame a dinosaur.
well, yes that would happen if i had the dino food rate at the lowest setting, but the thing is that i reset the local server so that it was at its default settings. how would i go about that?

Lloyd christmas you saved my game! thx
yeah, i figured out just now that it is a rare bug in the game that makes it so that taming on local servers gets disabled. Turns out i won't be able to tame until this is figured out

i have the same problem and my settings keeps reseting taming speed to 5555 with the bar all the way to the left... if i change it to 1.0 and i login, taming still doesnt work.. when i logout to see what the problem is, i see that the game changed my taming speed to 5555 again with the bar to the left. this keeps happening..

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Btw, i know how taming works, that is not the problem.

Weird, couse taming should take no effect no matter if you have tribe or not... Unless something had changed after last patches... Or dino hunger is seted wrong or there is some ini file bug on local file... I had never any problems with taming no matter if i had tribe or not...

first of all: Don't mess with food drain. Second. You necroed a thread. You're better off making your own thread
