Meat spoiling rate on dinos

[RagNaRok]

I think it should be raised or increase the stack to around 40ish cause right now I don't have time to feed them every 14 hours. I've got real life ♥♥♥♥ to do.

Hunger on tamed animals takes ages to even move so I don't know where you are getting the having to feed them all the time

current time is crazy. how can anyone playing solo (or even friends that all play together at the same times) reasonably be expcted to check in that often. can the dino's eat cooked meat? might try putting that in them before i log off to see if it works.

[Azukra]

I'm quite sure they eat cooked meat, as I've used it at some points when taming,

During taming it does not work as well as with fresh meat, so I'm guessing that they won't get as much "food" for cooked meat

Yeah, something is wrong here.

THis esteemed source provides key data to consider on how much a T-Rex needs each day
to just get along.
How many humans per day would a T-Rex need to snack on:

Mine in game eats a lot more than that.

Game dino's should be able to gorge like a snake or something and chillax while
you are away. Like, what are they doing, just standing around and pooping is all.
Not exactly massively calorie driven activities.

put a stack of 30 cooked meat on them instead. They will eat any meat, they just prefer raw meat - which only affects taming time.

Hmm, , what about Beef Jerky?
That might be a good use for it.
But lord, does it take forever in a day to make some of that.
I need like 5 smokers to get a supply going, one is not going to cut it.
SLOW production.
More meat rots in the smoker than it makes jerky.

what hes talking about is that a full stack of raw meat currently lasts less than a day, because even if you have 5000 meat on a single dino, because theyre all seperated into stacks of 20, the whole lot only lasts about 10 or so hours, maybe less depending on eating rate / stamina usage.

This means that for any tamed carnivore you HAVE to log in like once a day or they start to go hungry.

[RagNaRok]

So with cooked meat it stacks higher and spoils slower. So that should give you what like 16ish hours instead of the raws 13ish?

When they are not moving, and are in base, they eat feck all as well. It's not like they die the moment the food runs out, their hunger has to go all the way down as well, which on larger dinos will take a long time. my argentavis and carno ate a grand total one piece of meat during the 10 hours I was offline, so without food, they would still last a stupidly long time.

Okay cool. I just didn't know how fasr hunger would fall on them. Thanks for the info!!!

Many people are more willing to ask for easier-this-and-that than simply join a tribe and collaborate.
