This prevents them from walking around in the meantime. To initiate breeding of a pair by yourself, whistle both creatures to follow you, then enable wandering. In this way, you can achieve mass breeding in an area without ever building a pen, or moving creatures. This may be more helpful if one survivor is constantly whistling not to move, and another survivor enables the creatures nearby to wander. While this method doesn't need a pen, it does need you or a tribe member to stay there and constantly whistle. It's best to use the whistle every time the creature starts to move again, or to prevent the creatures from ever moving, whistle constantly. This halts all creatures within the area to stop moving, even ones that are enabled to wander. You can also use the " Whistle Stop (All)" command ( U on PC). If the mating pair wander outside the mating range, then mating is stopped and mating progress is reset.īuilding a pen of a suitably small size to keep the wandering creatures within mating range of each other is one common approach. If using the Enable Wandering method to allow for mating, then steps need to be taken to maintain the mating range, which varies between species and is loosely based on the size of the adult creature. not having a mating cooldown (once mated females have a mating cooldown interval before they can mate again, the cooldown can also be triggered when transferring the creature between Arks).unburdened (the creatures must not be carrying so much weight they are unable to move).not following anything ( Disable Following on both creatures).wandering or set to mate ( Enable Wandering or Enable Mating must be enabled on both creatures).of opposite sex (one male and one female).ġ3 September 2017 Mating Requirements įor creatures to successfully mate, they must be: It has been confirmed that there is no creature in the game capable of affecting chances of mutations, twins and triplets.

Original, Tek, Aberrant, X, and R variants of creatures count as separate species, and as such, cannot be cross-bred.
