While taming a dino, can you shoot it again with tranq arrow?

[ᛏᚫᛚᚢᚾ]

Does that cause an issue with taming?

[Arsenic_Touch]

Yes you can shoot it, no it doesn't cause issues.

[Zerim]

Why would you? It would decrease the taming effectiveness. Just put narcotics/narcoberries in it and hit remote use.

[ᛏᚫᛚᚢᚾ]

Well, I am running out of narcotics, and I have picked all the berries in the area. So looking for alternatives.

[Darthtanien]

You could as a last resort but it does reduce the taming effectiveness.

[ᛏᚫᛚᚢᚾ]

I am in the "starving" phase at the moment, so it is helping now, almost ready to feed it meat, and I should have enough berries for the taming, and not need to shoot it.

Why are you wasting time starving it when it doesn't speed it up?

It does speed the taming up, as the bar fills each time a dino eats.
You starve it first , then it'll go through the taming process much quicker.

He isnt wasting time because it takes the exact amount of time than the other method tho.

Sadly not. The food goes down at the same speed.if fed right up, the dino eats every time 50 food points are lost, that takes the exact same time as starving it down by1000 points and feeding it Then. Both taming methods are absolutely the same.

The devs have already confirmed starving is pointless just feed it the normal way , otherwise your only wasting your time and resorces

Not really, all that is happening is you're just waiting for the hunger to go down. even if you put the food in, the hunger time doesn't decrease any faster than if you starve it. The difference is, that you're just not feeiding it now.

Example.
Takes 10 meat to tame a Dilo, and 10 minutes, because the hunger drops low enough for it to eat one meat every minute.

Dilo's hunger 100. The meat restores 10 hunger each time it is eaten. While the hunger drops by 10 each minute.

Results, in ten minutes the Dilo is starving, you put the ten meat in, and the dilo eats it all filling the training bar. However, the same time is taken if you had just put the meat in at the very first, because the Dilo gets hungry enough to eat a meat when the hunger is at 90. Make sense? End result, nothing is faster. In fact, starving could be considered slower as it takes time to put the food in, once you know the dino is starving, where as just putting it in at the start leaves less "hand time".

Its the same I noticed this taming my Tyrannosaur, it looks and feels faster because you can see the bar go up quicker but the loss of food and eating is the same regardless.

[ᛏᚫᛚᚢᚾ]

Not if you feed it stim berries. Stim berries take away food. It takes more Narcotics, as you have to counteract the stim berrries, but it does go a bit quicker. It also gives you something to do, than stare at the screen.

Actually not the same. When creature has 50 less than max it can fill only these 50. When it is starved and has quite some space to fill - each time it eats will fill much more than 50 for the same amount of taming bar.

So starving is actually a very very ineffective way as basically the creature will fill its hunger bar 2-3x faster and not being tamed faster.
