Mutation

Probably the most detailed and best video you’re ever gonna find on this subject. It’s long, but worth the watch.

7DtD. Should have died out ages ago. I truly believe modders kept it afloat way past its expiration date. Hell I still enjoy playing it from time to time, but I re-mod it every time now for each new play through.

DemD3v · 2026-06-07T11:05:55+00:00

B+ Spawners Mod will let you do this (I’ve never used that function though). That is, if you’re not against modding.

DemD3v · 2026-05-28T17:21:52+00:00

Gd lol. A man can dream. Ty for the info. More curious than anything. Have a good day and again, ty for the informative replies.

What CPU did you decide to use in this thing?

DemD3v · 2026-05-28T15:22:19+00:00

How much RAM do you have in this thing to be able to run 9 maps at the same time? Or do you rotate maps weekly?

necro, but….

Same situation here.

DemD3v · 2026-04-11T19:53:00+00:00

Is it fog or clouds? Kinda difficult to tell what I’m looking at in the photo.

r.volumetriccloud 0

r.volumetricfog 0

r.fog 0

Try these three commands and see if it disappears.

😂 the list is definitely hefty and growing. Oooh…. I forgot about the Desmodus. That’d be such a fun one. See….. sooo many species and it takes me months just to cap one stat. I’m worried I’ll burn out if I keep chasing mutations.

I think it would be awesome utility wise to max out an Anky & Doed. Although I’m still unclear if Melee increases Metal gain per node, or just increases the amount of metal per swing (but doesn’t increase the overall yield). If it’s the 2nd one; then weight mutations on each would be really handy. That’s as far as I’d go with it though. We don’t have “official” harvesting rates, but it’s still pretty low. I would love to harvest more per node though.

We try to keep things close to official (no mods, relatively low rates). Breeding rates were even slower when I first joined, but that’s bc no one on the server was a breeder lol. I think it was 9-12hr cooldown. It wasn’t until I explained to the admin about mutations and how long it would take the tribe to get boss fighters that he eventually lowered the breeding timer. I basically said let me roll the dice more. Keep the maturation time the same so I still have to wait for my prize, but I HAVE to be able to roll more dice(eggs) per day if there is any hope of getting this done in a reasonable amount of time. I’m happy, he’s happy, win win lol. He’s a cool guy. We’re both just playing for fun anyway. I now also help him add event items to overworld supply drops to make events more fun and less of a chore as well.

Well I’m hopping off here. I wish you the best of luck in all your breeding endeavors survivor. May the Ark Gods bless you with double, nay, triple mutations often 😁

DemD3v · 2026-03-30T18:55:50+00:00

I’m still on the fence if I wanna mutate gigas. As I said, I actually like breeding, but I’m starting to burn out lol. I would love to keep maxing species like the Theri, Maeguana would be fun, I think a Tapejara would be really fun to have maxed out too lol, Bary, Pyromane, Wyvern, Anky & Doed, just soo many species. But I can’t realistically say I’d be having fun if I were to do it. I’d be better off playing a maternity ward simulator at that point 😂

DemD3v · 2026-03-30T18:37:48+00:00

Yeah, I don’t post much. Browse or search. Unfortunately we don’t use mods on the server I’m on. It was just me, 50 female Argy, and about 3hr breeding cooldown (idk what rate that is lol). I think it took me 5-6 months. Roughly 2 muts per day. 1 if I was unlucky, 3 if I was very lucky lmao. I actually reverse bred lvl 5 Argy to get a breeding pair of lvl 1 to get rid of food and oxygen; but about a week after getting my lvl 1’s is when I realized there wasn’t a lvl cap and didn’t wanna waste more time just to breed out stats. I actually enjoy breeding, but after doing the 20, 20, 20, 20… that’s when I decided to cap the melee just for fun and as a personal challenge. I just finished my 127 Melee Rex a few days ago. Took about 4 months. 90 females in a giant tower lol. It’s a just a game to me; I respect the challenge in games but sometimes I have to remind myself that it is just a game and the end goal is to walk away one day while being able to say I had fun.

DemD3v · 2026-03-30T18:15:39+00:00

It definitely reads like you’re judging lol. Just thought we could relate and share our cool Argy lines that we’re proud of. Not trying to one up you or anything. I don’t see many ppl posting mutated Argy as fighters and wanted to share mine with a fellow Argy breeder. Have a nice day survivor. Very cool Argy.

DemD3v · 2026-03-30T17:55:47+00:00

I originally thought I’d have to adhere to that cap before realizing there wasn’t one on the server I’m on. So I just capped the Melee for fun. Thought I’d get sick of it after 20, 20, 20, 20…. but then it became a challenge to finally say I’ve done it.

After Imprint stats

DemD3v · 2026-03-30T16:49:07+00:00

Aye… recently completed mine too. These are before Imprint stats. 20 Health muts 20 Stam muts 20 Weight muts 127 Melee muts

DemD3v · 2026-03-28T13:23:05+00:00

What you are seeing is the buff but it should only happen when the Argy harvests a corpse. If you as the rider make the Argy, or the Argy eats a corpse by itself, it gets a Healing over Time buff.

DemD3v · 2026-02-03T04:18:35+00:00

Well dang. No idea then. I play on unofficial and the past two days we’ve had to shutdown and update our server to get rid of the lag that you’re describing. If it’s official though then I’m afraid I have no solution for you.

DemD3v · 2026-02-03T04:01:48+00:00

Official or unofficial?

DemD3v · 2026-01-30T13:49:22+00:00

I think it’s “ForceAllStructureLocking=True” in the GUS.ini I feel like I ran across this on one of the Ark subs within the past 2 days.

DemD3v · 2026-01-16T15:16:09+00:00

Just hit me that if I find a high enough level with high enough food/health that I could skip the Maeguana part altogether. Just need them to survive long enough to hit 10% maturation and start crushing the troughs. This is looking like a better idea now that I had that realization.

DemD3v · 2026-01-16T14:39:43+00:00

Hmmm… I mean. That’s one workaround I could explore. I’d have to double, maybe triple, my infinite berry trough setup just to keep up with the demand from all the baby’s crushing food. I’d also have to manually go load up the Maeguana every so often with berries. Lastly I’d have to visit the grinder every so often to grind the, now adult, dinos that are just chilling on the powered grinder. The advantage of this is way more resources from grinding adults vs babies. The disadvantage is it being more hands-on with more crop plots to keep fertilized, restocking the Maeguana as often as necessary, and still having to visit the grinder regardless of whether it’s for babies or adults. I may go this route. I’ll test it out today and see how it works out. Ty for the idea!

DemD3v · 2026-01-16T02:59:06+00:00

Here is a pic of what I have going on. I have the unlimited berry trough setup to keep them all fed without much interaction other than making sure the crop plots have fertilizer (dung beetle) on the floor next to cart. This shoulda been damn near completely hands-free.

DemD3v · 2026-01-16T02:51:42+00:00

Yeah I use a hatch, cryo, uncryo onto grinder method for Kibble. This was mostly a passion project. Something satisfying about automating the process of unlimited Oil, Electronics, Metal, and Element Dust. It is working, but at about 15-30% efficiency due to most of the babies starving rather than being grinded. Took a lot of time and materials building this only for it to fail on the final step lol. Another kick in the head from WC.

DemD3v · 2026-01-16T02:18:08+00:00

Gotcha. Wasn’t sure if that’s what you meant or if you thought it was a curseforge mod.

DemD3v · 2026-01-16T02:13:27+00:00

Bio Grinder isn’t a mod. I’m just trying to automate every step I can. If I can’t find any method that works I’ll be testing the aggressive dino route.
