hi Infinity, I'm sorry I don't remember and I no longer have the source code. Try "oviparous"? there is a good chance it will work.

Hi, love the mod. What is the blueprint pathway? cheers

yes, it should work for wyverns. I say "should" because I never actually tested, but it's supposed to.

Great! Thanks for the quick response!

the ones I said I would fix, yes. However wild Wyverns still activate the feed.

Did this problem below ever get fixed?

Hi @Makto, interesting effect getting a wild Wyvern to activate the feed. I didn't predict that, but I think it's cool that it works this way.

About the stacking issues, ouch... I will have a look and fix that. Also, the Wyvern shouldn't be eating the Argentavis feed. I will fix that too. Thanks for spotting this and letting me know!

Stacks in storage the same way. Combines and fills stacks regardless of being activated by different dinos. Not using a stacking mod.

Have little problem. Hatched a baby Fire Wyvern. Put Argent feed in by mistake. Went and grabbed the Wyvern Feed. When I came back the baby Wyvern was eating the Argent feed. Next placing the Wyvern feed full stack in caused the Argent stack to go to 300 and the Wyvern feed to be the smaller stack. Then I placed Ice Wyvern feed in (full stack) it filled the Wyvern stack to 300 and then the Ice Wyvern stack was the smaller stack. Then pulled the Argent feed stack out and placed it in again and it topped of the Ice Wyvern stack, and lowered the Argent stack. The baby kept eating from the smallest stack, no matter which feed it was.

One other aspect that I am selfishly reluctant to bring up is a grey area. Last night I trapped and downed a female Ice Wyvern. I got the 5 milk off her then dropped some feed in and got a few stacks of Ice Wyvern feed. Thus I was able to hatch an egg and get through baby stage with the feed from the un-tamed female Wyvern and reserve the milk for the juvenile and adolescent stages. Not sure if you intended for wild dinos to be able to activate the feed or not. I like it. But... food for thought.

I was just thinking in the realm of a future sponsored mod program for you. We have had the kibble system for taming which added a lot of content to the game by Wildcard. You have hit on something that makes a lot of sense and could be a whole "kibble" system for breeding.

@Makto, at some point (whenever I learn how to do it) I might add the crafting requirements as an option in the game.ini file so that you can customize it for your server.

@GamerXDevision, I really want to keep them separate to keep them simple and specific. This way people can pick the things they like.

@Makto, that's a good point, but I never really thought about balancing. I essentially wanted to make it almost free to craft. The major cost of this is the engram. 26 is quite a few points. And there is also the easy, mostly but symbolic effort of "activating" it inside the parent.

I just found an issue. The feed is quite heavy. I need to make it lighter so that a tiny baby can be given at least 3 stacks in one go.
Makto 31 Oct, 2019 @ 6:07pm 
Works like a charm. My only suggestion is to increase the crafting cost to 300 Longress and 600 Mejos, since it yields 300 feed. Would seem a little more balanced, I think.

I look forward to checking this out.

absolutely love these 2 mods :) you are amazing thank you for these but i do have one question is there plans to merge them together and make it into a single mod? reason i ask is because of mod space my admin team is trying to limit mods down to a certain number but we are getting close to reaching our max limit either way we wont be removing these off our server lol just wondering
