I believe the only impact the Ovi has on the dodos would be for breeding may test it out one day if I ever have a huge desire to breed dodos. I may add more dodos later and try again, as I still have the original test group the last time I picked up eggs from them, the non-Ovi group had more eggs, even though they were further out(though still in rendering range) than the Ovi boosted group from where I was doing most of my activities.īut, so far, I see no advantage(or harm) from having an Ovi near the dodos, but if I was limited on the number Ovis and space, I would certainly not waste the space on the dodos for Ovi coverage. And it is not so much in the fact that they ended dead even, but in that the group without an Ovi would take a temporary lead over the the group with an Ovi. While not 100% scientific, my observations did not indicate that the Dodos with an Ovi got any advantage over the ones with out the Ovi. During the testing, the groups were either at even(same number of eggs) or one would take a lead, usually by 1 or 2 eggs, and occassionally 3 but then, the other group would catch up, and sometimes take the lead. I then put a box next to each group, took a spot between the two, and for the next two hours, I would pick up the eggs from a group and put it in the box next to them also watched a lot of TV, but checked them every commercial break, if not more often(I was truly curious).Īt the end, they had exactly the same number of eggs in each box. The other group I put into place near an Ovi. I lead one group to one side of my pen(large pen) where the only impact was mate boosting. I then split them into 2 random groups, with 1 male and 2 females. I captured and tamed 14 random dodos 2 male and 12 females. I tested out the dodo egg laying mechanic the other night. As such, I moved some of my egg layers, so that eggs that fall before the building renders will hit the ground in a place I can easily access, which is usually at the base of the big rock I build my base on not only will eggs fall through ceilings/foundations, they will also roll down ramps, hills, rocks, and such, unless they catch on something first. I have a large base, so I sometimes see the eggs under the floors and foundations before they render in. This is usually caused, based my experience, by leaving my base without checking for eggs(and having been there long enough for 1 or more laying cycles), flying/riding/running/sauntering out of rendering range, and returning before the eggs despawn. But, if I work around the base and the egg layers stay out of statis, I get plenty of eggs.Įggs can fall through ceiling, foundations, and such. When I log into my base, there are not piles of eggs waiting for me. Also, scorpions are not affected by Ovis as this time.įrom my experience, eggs are only laid when the animals are not in statis.
#Ark dodo not laying eggs trial#
Source is 2000 hours of gameplay with much trial and error locating specific mechanics and over 6000 eggsĮxcept for Dodos, female egg layers have a 1% chance of laying an egg each cycle, or 2% if mate boosted.Įxcept for Dodos, the cycle is every 17 :00, unless you have an Oviraptor(on wander) nearby, in which case the cycle is shortened to 11:20. its also worth noting sometimes there will be multiple eggs under one dino as ticks are often shorter than egg despawn time of 30 mins more visible on dodos than any other since its the shortest time to lay an egg So keep your dinos somewhere you're going to be spending a lot of time get an oviraptor if you can and have one male and many females in the laying area and enjoy picking up your eggs.

Oviraptor: having an oviraptor on wander presents another visual buff that increases egg laying % per tick Mate boosted: having mate boosted will increase the chance an egg is laid per tick for the mate boosted dino having one male will mate boost all females of that species within range and thus increase egg laying for them People in the nearby vicinity: dinos enter a state of stasis when no player is within render distance for 10 mins slowing down food consumption and egg laying more people more eggs The basics of it is dinos have a set chance to lay eggs every X amount of time ( I forget % chance and timescale but its something like 10-30 mins but actual time varies with dino species ill reffer to this as a tick) the chance of laying is affected by a few paramaters Dinos will actively lay eggs in front of you, stored eggs do not effect egg laying potential of dinos
