Did some breeding for the first time this weekend. started with bears. It will take a long time, but with a bit of observation and timing it can be relatively easy. For where we are based i experimented and observed that with 6 grills on all the time a baby bear does not get hot or cold thoughout the day & night. One stack of wood will power a grill for about 4 hours. One stack of potatoes will feed the baby for about 40 minutes. with all that information I can set a timer and do other stuff either in game or not, I also put up signs around the breeding pen as reminders of this information. This will not be the same for everyone but experiment see what you can make easier. (thinking of the meat eater breeding, has anyone tried putting ice into a feeding trough? - just thought that up, anyone in game to try?)

released patch notes v24.4 - Reverted optimization to how Seating Structures are replicated, caused some issues. v24.3 - Fixed invisible tamed creature case, and optimized some networking related to creatures on ships. - Optimized how ladders network their extended/retracted states. - Attempted an optimization to how Seating Structures are replicated (Steering Wheels etc) v24 - Further fix for case where steering wheel usage became desynchronized. v23 - Major client and server optimization for ships - Fixed remaining case of Client Disconnections (Not necessary to adjust Client Bandwidth, this was related to something else. We recommend all players try to use EPIC Bandwidth!) - Various new server performance optimizations - Sail Canvas is now unaffected by Repair Hammer - AoD soldiers now take significantly less damage from bullets. v22.21 Fixed a bug where tamed creatures, boats, and NPC Crew stats didn't replicate properly. v22.1 - Fixed a case where players would disconnect on certain servers when loading into large bases. We advise setting your "Client Network Bandwidth" Option value back to Epic if you had previously changed it, to deal with the disconnections. - Fixed a case which would cause creatures to flash or flicker. - Fixed a case where players on saddled creatures would teleport back to the server's origin if the creature they were mounted on had been killed by another creature. - Sail canvas now takes twice as long to repair. Repair hammer can no longer be used to repair a canvas. A canvas must be repaired using the pinwheel option on the mast, which can be accessed by holding down E. - Target Soft Spots will no longer add torpor to other player teams in PvE. - Camera no longer interpolates to origin when destroyed. - Glider will no longer activate when encumbered. - Buoy signs remain attached after server restart (retroactive). - Server and client performance optimizations. - Fixed an exploit which allowed players to stall and potentially disconnect other clients. - No longer able to turn off cannons that do not belong to your team. v21.43 - Fixed some server side crashes and added additional server performance optimizations for NPC Crew v21.1 (client) - Fixed choppy claim flag physics 21.42 - Further optimizations to NPC crew 21.41 - Optimized replication and ticking of NPC crew on turrets, for significantly improved server performance. v21.31 - Improved Structure replication rate from servers, though this may increase client stalls slightly. Clients can reduce their "Client Network Bandwidth" Option value if they are experiencing too many stalls with this change (we do recommend the default, 60 KB/s). v21 - Optimized how items are networked resulting in significantly higher performance and less bandwidth usage - Added the Hook Hand and the Peg Leg to the Freeport cosmetic vendor v20.1 With our planned changes for March, the game will be heading into a more rule based system, so for the next few weeks we’ll be making some changes to experience what it would be like if we took an alternative route. We’ll be releasing an update tomorrow which includes the following changes: - 6x Rates - Harvesting, Taming, Experience, Gold, Farming, and Breeding. - Claim flags will no longer prevent enemy building. You can now build anywhere, and only structure build radius will prevent it. This does not apply to cannons and mortars, which will still require a claim flag. This is a non-default, which will be enabled on our PvP Networks. Unofficials can also use this as a custom server-side config. - All servers, other than Golden Age Ruin servers, can be set to home servers, allowing players to respawn at them. (PvP only) Game.ini: [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode] bDontRequireClaimFlagsForBuilding=1 bIsLawlessHomeServer=1 bForceRequireClaimFlagsForBuildingCannons=true This is what we’re enabling on all our non-Golden Age ruin servers, but please note that you must also flag the corresponding grids as homeservers on the servergrid.json This patch will also include: - Whispering voice hotkey [* [numpad] key] - Server side config that allows you to alter the distance for the 3 voice modes: Whispering, Normal, and Yelling.

Any loaded ones will just fire regular cannons. They'll be receiving a large redesign in the major update coming in March. - Fixed chat scrolling, so it now works again with Page Up and Page Down - Fixed an edge case where voice chat would stop working unless the client relogged These changes will allow us to see how the game would pan out if we didn’t have the claim system affect build rules, which helps us collect more feedback on playstyles. v19.62 - New style Claim Flag with improved flag physics - Improved mini map X icon for visibility - Added chat tabs - Reorganized claim flag notifications (requires updated server) v19.52 - Fixed multiple cases where inpulses would be stacked causing players or creatures to be launched into the distance. v19.51 - Disabled the use of some client side console commands which could be used to gain an unfair advantage in PvP v19.5 - Army of the Damned Soldiers and Crew melee attacks now properly hit. - Fixed an issue with servers that could have stalled them out for significant periods of time (5+ seconds) - Improved general server performance v19.4 - Further optimized server performance - Fixed issue where Buffs were not being added (drinks and such) if you were on a seating structure, or if you were encumbered. v19.3 - Significantly improved server performance when unstasising structures (50%+). - Fixed the bug where picking up stat'ed Structures would eliminate quantity of existing structures in your inventory. - Fixed a case where server-side Spoiling Times were incorrect on preserving bins. - Whale corpses now last 30 minutes - Giraffe harvesting now yields 6x thatch v19.21 - Doubled maximum server physx substeps to maintain more consistent ship movement at low server framerates. v19.2 - 2x Harvesting, XP, Taming and Gold enabled on the Official Network until Monday 25th. - Bookshelf added to organize your maps, blueprints, notes, and songs.

Stack size will remain at 10 You will not be able to store them in creature inventories, however, legacy ones will remain there. They will be able to be placed near enemy structures and water without needing a claim flag, but not on boats itself.

Thank to the breeding update , i managed to raise the baby to adulthood safely . Tundra actually quite good for breeding razor , you only worry about it being too cold but nothing can't be fixed with enough grill and torch . They also eat fast , i lost one baby due to food consuming rate miscalculation .

Breeding temperature mechanics are awful. Expecting the player to stay logged in and essentially stationary with a baby animal to manage it's food is horrible. Theoretically you get a break later when the baby matures and can eat out of a trough, but that doesn't matter because you still have to babysit it THE WHOLE TIME or it will freeze to death some night. The only people that can breed right now are giant companies with lots of members that can trade off on this horrible task for DAYS, or people that don't have a job or need sleep. I know it's not the intended final implementation but why the hell are you leaving a broken, horrible system in the game, gating a feature for your players rather than take it out until you can implement it right? It adds NOTHING to the game experience except rage at the moment. People have been complaining about this since launch, but hey, you're too busy digging trenches and building jumping crabs.

Breeding carnivores requires too much maintenance, due to low meat stack count in feeding troughs. If we could get the stack count increased to 100, so it matches berries and vegetables that would solve the issue. Or let carnivores eat cooked meat, that has higher spoil timers. Just had 2 baby lions and a wolf die after refilling 5 feeding troughs with full meat before I went to sleep. They died after 5.5 hours due to spoiled meat. Unless it suppose to be this time consuming, I doubt it. I can raise 20 baby bears at a time, and sleep for 8 hours with the 100 stack support for vegetables. Thanks!

Its the same as in Ark, the baby randomly gets from the parents, each stat. So if the baby gets the worst of a bunch of stats, then his level is lower, because less points per stat. Its unlikely, but always possible.

Woah woah woah! Let’s not get crazy. Baby steps man, baby steps. I’m perfectly capable of turning the game off, but showering? I just did that last month! Clean my clothes? Why? They don’t smell any worse than anything else around here. Step outside? Now you’ve gone too far. There’s like, plants and animals and stuff out there. I might be allergic. I mean I’m not sure because it’s been years since I went out there, but why take chances?

Why dont you just turn it off in the settings? If you remove bar shots, sailing would basically become 100% safe. Ship gold cost is the only reason I would ever even bother to capture a ship in the first place and i+f you remove gold cost every company would hit ship cap on day 3. This i can agree with. Would also like 100% headshot damage back. Most of the other stuff you suggest would just turn the game back to season 1 offline raiding again and shooting\baby sitting structures 4am in the morning is not something i miss.

So ... We got whinners in this post, just bitching about the game but doesn't say anything to make it better ... And those same people tell other people they suck just because they give a constructive opinion about the game and what should get a focus to make it better. That's utterly stupid, if you have nothing to say than just crying or litteraly insult people, just quit the post and say goodbye, we don't need you for this game nor the game need you at all, you're dead meat. About the next update of the game, i'm happy they are finally doing what have been requested since the first week. - Claim rework (Was so much needed and asked) - Vitamin rework (Was so much asked, but not needed, game is still playable even if this system is a piece of *bip*) - SOTD rework and variety in their design (Was so much needed and asked) - Player trades via shops or other things (Was so much needed and asked) What makes an MMO shine is it's content and the possibilities it offers, those shops are a step futher in the trading element of the game even if it's still not gonna be perfect, in my opinion, we really need trade routes, not everybody wanna search for treasure H24, we need other gameplay elements to provide gold, and trading is one of the best way to make it possible. Buy those resources in this freeport then sail for ten minutes to sell it in another freeport, or in a player port to make your profit ... Or make the cafting element of the game shine by forcing players to use it (Only manufactured product can be sold with this system). For example, everybody can harvest wood in the wild, so why NPC's should even buy it from you ? Or if they buy it, that would be really low price like 1 gold for 100 wood, but what would happen if you had the forger skill and craft metal ingots with your wood and the metal you harvested ? Oh baby !! Now NPC would buy it because metal is something that's used in everything. Same can go for clothes, armor, weapons and every manufactured item with a dynamic variation in the price that's evloving with the quantity of product you sell. For exemple : 10 people will sell their clothes and armor to NPC, the price will drop because the offer gotten bigger on this item categories, but at the same time, the price of others product would have raised because nobody sold them what's needed. That can be a really deep element of the game, and really important too, because players would think of everything they get or loot, even when they are raiding, they would try to steal everything they can to sell it and make profit out of their raids. You raid someone, you steal what they have, then you sell it, you buy better equipement with it, better canons, better ships, then you raid someone else and so it can go on ... Trading can be a big part of the game but without forcing player to make trading to get stronger. I can tell a stupid example for that, but we could have stats for the canons, wich could be upgraded a number of times (Just like in a real MMO with weapon enchantments), but that would be really expensive, and this kind of canon would be buyable from NPC's at a very high price or sold (Because some crafting/trading maniac like me would be stupid enough to upgrade tons of canons to max level just to make stupid amount of gold and then never use it). MEDIUM CANON : Lv1 canon : 100% damage (Overall abilities, so splash damage, etc) Lv2 canon : 125% damage (Overall abilities, so splash damage, etc) Lv3 canon : 150% damage (Overall abilities, so splash damage, etc) Lv4 canon : 175% damage (Overall abilities, so splash damage, etc) Lv5 canon : 200% damage (Overall abilities, so splash damage, etc) MEDIUM CANON PRICE : Lv1 canon : (28 Alloy / 14 Fibers / 20 Hide / 42 Wood) Lv2 canon : (70 Alloy / 35 Fibers / 50 Hide / 105 Wood) x2.5 Price Lv3 canon : (175 Alloy / 88 Fibers / 125 Hide / 263 Wood) x2.5 Price And on and on ... Only the strongest would have access to the strongest weapons and that's how an MMO should be, the more time you spend into the game and the stronger you become, that's how an MMO work and how it should work ... (It's as stupid as a Diablo game, you get loot, you get stronger, you go kill stronger monsters, you get stronger loot, then you go fight stronger monsters that are stronger than the stronger monsters from before, etc, etc, etc). Anyway, this game have an enormous potential, so don't ruin it with your baby whinning, what are you seriously ? Twelve years old kid that get mad because mom didn't want to buy a shity ice scream ? XD PS : Stop crying about the new creatures because the game doesn't evolve only around you and some pirates prefer to tame beasts and breed them instead of figthing wars, that's my case and i want Atlas to offer diversity because that's all an MMO is about. WOW is still here and it give tons of things to do when you log in, same for Dofus or Wakfu wich are old MMORPG'S but they are still here, because they give tons of things to do, and that's what ATLAS need.

My first stone base. The terrain was uneven so I had to double foundation in areas. Animals constantly sunk into the foundations and I couldn't get them out. Cliff plaform I had an alpha rattlesnake get in and ate a bunch animals I had on passive. It was enclosed so no reason a snake could get into it. I used railings but somehow it got through. Elephants went awol tyring to board them onto ships. Now I just have them follow me up ladders. Breeding needs some adjustments from what I hear. It is nice they are gonna make all animals as breedable. But they do need to clarify on the system and put what animals need what biome to grow in. In todays world. Most people don't want to have to play a guessing game or waste the time to figure out what biome a baby is gonna grow up in. If the animal naturally spawns in that biome. It should be breedable and be able to grow in that same biome. I get how ark did it with specific eggs needed specific tempatures. But all of that was mitigated with the use of air conditioners or campfires/torches. We don't have incubators/air conditioners etc in game. Once the egg hatch the baby shouldn't die from to much heat/cold etc. Esp not in an enclosed pen where you are supposed to be protected from those variables.

OMG! Seriously? Please fix these things! Well, for your freakin info, this is a bear in Tundra, and the temp keeps changing, and it keeps taking damage, so fires have to be turned off, and turned back on, or it dies. It finally reached adulthood, but I had to stay with it the entire time, or it would have died. The issue isn't whether it's hard or easy...this was not hard, it's the fact that it takes so long, and the main point...during that long period, you can't walk away or it dies. Bears, wolves etc... should be fine in Tundra and Temperate. Honestly, if it lives on that island, it should easy breed and grow on that island...if not, how the hell is there a population there? I wouldn't even mind if it is HARDER, so long as I am not having to stay up for hours to cater to the baby. Why not make it a mechanic that allows you to leave, and not cater to it, but nothing happens, it doesn't grow and imprint during that time? So if you can only put in 2 hours per day, it takes 5 days for it to reach full maturity, but somebody who can put in ten hours, can get it done in one day. It's not about being hard. Nothing was hard about this. It's easy. The problem is the lengthy time where you cannot leave the server, or the baby dies.

Yep, I can see it now: "Baby demands 8 gold or it will mutiny in 3:31:23!" Swab the deck, baby, or it'll be the plank for ye! Get back ta work! 1 gold an hour, I'll be puttin the little buggers on duty straight from the womb. Manning the guns, the sails, or swabbing the deck, I don't care which.

I feel that they should stop being temp dependent after the baby phase, like you have to set up to work hard to get it past baby then like hey good job temp don't effect it anymore. temp control it was a neat thought on paper not in game if this was ark were you could ac it then ok you set ac to temp and you can only raise x type of tame ok would of worked, or have the range of temps stay in range in the area that there saying to raise it in.

Yeah, sorry I gotta call you out man. You are talking about cry baby lobbies yet you are the one acting they way you say they are acting. Can’t tell if you are a hypocrite or just the cry baby. Maybe send an email to the devs. It wasn’t really that smart to try to post a private message on an open forum. Hopefully this will be a good lesson learned for you

We were attempting to breed bears, and noticed something weird: We got them born, and were raising them just fine. The grid we were in had about a 5 hour "too warm" period every day, but it was ok because the bears would live through that, and they would heal once they cooled off in the late afternoon. After 6 hours (they'd been on the trough for 2) we decided to take a short 2 hour break, then come back to imprint. When we came back, they were dead. I noticed a pattern as they were aging that they seemed to be ending up at lower health every day, but it never got bad enough to be dangerous. My GF also noticed this, but we just assumed it was a % of health and had to do with how they were gaining health as they grew. After the death, I decided to play around on my private server, and I'm noticing a pattern. It seems that as the baby ages, the impact of being in the wrong temperature grows. Unless you can find a location that NEVER leaves perfect temperature zone, you won't be able to raise babies without near constant attention. You can make it work by going to somewhere that is frequently too cold and playing the play with fires game, but you cannot be gone since you have to turn the fires on and off to keep them in the right temperature range. It would make more sense if the impact of temperature got WEAKER as they aged, shouldn't it? After Juvenile stage, they should have a 2-3 degree wider range. As it stands right now, it looks like your baby will just grow older until they're gauranteed to die unless you are present and constantly manipulating. I'm assuming that making them feed from the trough implied that breaks should be possible in the design. I'm not expecting to be able to just leave them alone for 2 days, but at least 6 to 8 hour breaks, please. Hopefully this data will help showcase why people are still reporting inconsistent results with breeding @Jatheish @Dollie

not even a problem anymore.. i spend 1 hour with a baby when its born, then it can hold enough food to last till it can get to the trough, i only come back and check it for the imprinting. No need to sit with it for hours. If your food is decaying faster than the animal can eat it look into growing some veggies as they provide more food meaning the eat less, and they last forever in a trough. If your living in an area that tempeture needs constant monitoring. might want to look into renting land in temperate zones. Since the new patches last week i have bread close to 35 baby bears and lost 0 to food or temp issues. PS im a solo breeder

Every time you restart your crap it eats my fertilized eggs and baby tames. Quit yo shit.

Love this game, thank you all for working on it! I've teched into taming and think it is really cool. A few general ideas that stand out to me after the many hours I've played this are... 1. Because the 'exploration' theme of this game is so addicting to players (and myself) why not make different variants of each animal type for different regions in the map (colors, textures, skins, sizes, builds, ect). If there are multiple different kinds of thatch, wood, fiber, stone than why not animals? each variant could be better scaled into a certain stat? Instead of randomly generating skins globally, make different populations in different places (i.e. polar bears in the arctic). 2. Breeding is wayyyy too time consuming for anyone to do who doesn't want to press E for several hours, AFTER waiting for the female to give birth for 4 hours. Currently this requires a ton of resources and a ton of uninterrupted attention. Pick one; either make a player have to sit with the baby but shorten the time, or make it so the baby requires tons of resources, but those resources can be accessed from a trough or something. Reward the player for their time, or their resource collection. 3. Hot keys for switching between tame groups? how about a bar below the inventory bar? shift+1 = tame group 1, ect. (I feel like this should exist? I just don't see it?) 4. Birds birds birds. they are hella hard to hit with the bolas or trap anywhere. I feel like bird tames could be so cool in naval combat (send a swarm of birds to the enemy ship) but the glichy-ness of their taming is currently soo hard. if they got below 20% health could their movement speed slow? or the hitbox for bolas against them needs to be much larger? I don't think i'm the only person who has issues with bird taming. 5. This occurred to me by reading the posts above but I want to echo it. Yes, a pack buff should be huge for the wolves! Hopefully you like these ideas. I want to make sure I say that I really like that you have to work hard for things in this game. It makes them rewarding so don't make it easier, just make a couple quality of life changes like those above would be nice. thanks for your time and asking us! really appreciate it!

All Tames: (*all subject to having the correct tame commands found in beast mastery tree) - *Many listed below are if then or while statements that check variables and proceed according to what the code finds. - Ability to filter food from resources when tame gathers. - Example: If I send a wolf.. err wait don’t use those anymore *sniffle*… a lion out to gather meat I would like to be able to have it just gather meat, not resources (hide, keratinoid, etc) too. - Ability to limit weight of food gathered. - Example: If I send a tiger to defend around a building, I would like it to not be heavily encumbered because it has a crazy number of meat stacks and resources on it. Limiting it to say 50, 100, 200, etc lbs meat would be sufficient. - Ability to set a perimeter for a tame to walk in defense of area X. (sentry mode) - Example: very simple. Walks a set route to defend area X and if it gets into a fight it wont run 100 miles away from it’s route chasing a bird. Which leads me to the next ability. - Ability to set a leash limiter on range, preferable in meters not low, medium, high… that tame won’t go outside that range from its center marker (if a circle) or set route which can be any shape a player sets when creating the route. (see above). - Examples: A rhino walks a big circle around building or area X until called off. A bear walks a complex sequence around several buildings and resource areas before returning to its start point which has a feeder. It delays 10 mins to regen health before returning to its route. If health is >= 90% it doesn’t stop but keeps on running its route. This used the delay in the route (see below). - Ability to set a delay which connects to time or a variable when tame is running a route or in aggression mode. - Example: Stay in active aggression mode unless health is below (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, etc %), if health is below the set % than stop, regen health and return to aggression mode when health is well again. Example 2: This allows a delay to be added to whatever route points are set in the routing ability (sentry mode). Every point could have a 5, 10, 20, 30, etc second delay or no delay unless a preset variable is recognized like health low or weight too heavy. - Ability to flee or fight when in aggression mode according to variables (health %, weight %). - Example: I don’t want a tame to rush into a fight with low health. It needs to intelligently know its wounded and regen health or even return to a set spot until its health is back to normal. So like the above examples if in aggression mode or sentry mode if its health drops below 50% it doesn’t wait but instantly turns, exits fight and runs back to preset point (which tamers can set with the correct commands). Perhaps within range of a feeder and sentry guns that can help defend it until its healthy again. Once its health is good again it returns to its route. - Ability to call a tame back to base with a long-range whistle w/map help. - Example: sent tame to defend around base and can’t find it but this whistle will signal tame to return to base and, this is key, if the tame is stuck it will signal where on the map. - Ability to send a tame on a resource gathering route. Similar to sentry mode but gathering mode instead. - Example: I could send an elephant through 2, 3, 4+ different groves of trees and have it harvest them all and then return to point A. Or gather until it reaches weight X and then return and wait to be unloaded. - Ability to set aggression mode to predators or 2 neutral modes or all. - Example: aggression predator only will only attack wilds that are naturally hostile. - Example: aggression neutral 1 only will only attack wilds that are naturally neutral and flee from predators. - Example: aggression neutral 2 only will only attack wilds that are naturally neutral and fight predators if they attack first. - Id like to see a set of armor for mounts. Think Heman and his armored Tiger. - I’d like to see the breeding system completed by allowing the breeding of tigers, lions, rhinos, elephants, giraffs, etc. - I’d like to see the breeding system evolve into training babies when they are young for their future roles. - Example: farm animals, war mounts, sentries, etc. - I’d make the tames a part of the rng system with normal, fine, journeyman, mastery, legendary, mythic and you don’t know what ya have until the tame is done. Once tamed the tames name changes to its rarity and so does its bonus stats, abilities, etc. - Same as above with tames except with babies. Once they reach full maturity in that moment they change to their rarity (normal, fine, journeyman, mastery, legendary, mythic) with their respective bonuses and abilities. Higher rarity tiers get greater stats and more abilities. - I’d like to see tames get their mutations and or an ability list that differs from tames to tames (see below). - I’d like to see each animal type get their respective breeds: i.e Bears: brown, black, Grizzly, Polar, and have their slight variations in strengths & weaknesses that are also handed down to their cubs. Same for tigers, lions, horses (so many breeds and qualities to each), elephants, rhinos, etc - Like to see tames harvesting menu expanded upon. Example: fiber only, berries only, thatch only, wood only, stone only, metal only, etc. - I’d like to see a sprinkler system that cools down players, tames, etc that uses the current irrigation pipes and water reservoirs. Instead of water plants it showers players and/or tames with water and this produces a cooldown affect. - Like to see a cart that bears, bulls, horses, etc can pull that has a weight reduction because the cart with wheels is baring most of the weight. The weight reduction is directly proportional to the max weight of the animals pulling it AND the quality of the cart (blueprints). If a single tame than off its weight but if it’s a team pull than off the combined weight of both tames. - Add medium sized gates that are 2 tiles wide by 2 tiles high. - Add fortress grade walls that go with the small, medium (see above) and large gates. Bear Maul: vicious attack that bleeds. Body slam: knockdown target and pins to ground for 6 secs. Chicken Face gauge when provoked Cow Rear kick Bull A charge that does dmg and bleeds/knockback. Pro-puller: pulls weighted carts 15% faster than other mounts. 2nd bull with pro-puller would be 30% faster than other mounts. Crow Face gauge that blinds and bewilders target Razortooth Trample that knockdowns and breaks bones Assault: high dps burst from front Shieldhorn Shield mode that defends target A. Absorbs 50% of any damage target A takes. Trample that knockdowns and breaks bones Elephant Trample that knockdowns and breaks bones Tusk slam, breaks bones, sends flying Giant Pig Gore: similar to bear but no knockdown but does bleed and high dmg output. Giraffe Trample that knockdowns and breaks bones Neck thrust: sends flying with dmg. Horse Rear kick: breaks bones, sends flying, knocks down. Sprint: a burst very fast gallop. Lion Rack: high dmg from claws Roar that rallies nearby allies and temporarily boosts lions combat prowess. Monkey Taunts that distract target with monkey squeals and hoots that lowers def. Ostrich Bill peck: think street fighter Chung Li rapid kick except with its bill. Naturally a fast mount. Parrot Taunts with insults which lowers def. Face gauge: blurred vision/bewildered. Penguin Hugging a penguin gives you a 30 min heat res buff. Penguins provide aoe heat res naturally. The closer you are or a baby is the more res they get against heat. Rabbit When worn character is 5-10% faster on feet. Luck bonus to treasure Rhino Aimable Charge with high crit dmg from horn. Trample that knockdowns and breaks bones Seagull Widened fog of war and can send/receive long range low weight items. Weather warning Sheep Hugging a sheep gives you a 30 min cold res buff. Sheep provide aoe cold res naturally. The closer you are or a baby is the more res they get against cold. Tiger Rack: high dmg from claws Surprise Attack Pounce: knocks target down and bites for high dmg chance to crit. Vulture Face gauge that blinds and or bewilders. Short burst to see targets health. Wolf BUFF Health and dmg output. It’s a wolf they are supposed to be dangerous. Howl: Rallies nearby wolves to come to your aid temporarily. Random roll d20 + character level + wolf level to determine duration and to decide who wins aid if multi wolf howls are heard. Several min cooldown. If wolf A howls and obtains aid than wolf B can howl for a chance to break aid. Making the previously aided wolfs now hostile. If wolf Bs roll + character level + wolf level is high enough it not only breaks aid but turns those wolves to aid wolf Bs team. Howl range is based off wolf level. Bite: high dmg chance to crit Pounce: similar to tiger but no surprise crit dmg but does knock down target with a bite to follow. Owl – provides night vision & mild stealth at night. Eagle – able to scout area. Think assassins creed origin and greater zoom with rifle. Goose – chance to lay golden egg. Panther – naturally stealthy w/ a stealth bonus, fast attacks, pounce, claw rack Saber-tooth – cold res when mounted, high dmg bite with high chance to crit, pounce, only found in tundra. Lynx - quiet like a wolf, superior agility, fast attacks, Thank you. Cheers! DC

Taking into consideration that the game is based on Ark, with the same team (almost). In Ark breeding "is not meant to be done alone" and is end game. So yes, we can easily asume that's same gameplay mechanic, not to be done alone, and end game. Simply as that. The major problem breeding had, was coldwave and heatwave, which insta killed baby. Impregnation on baby is the most OP thing you can get on Atlas, bear with ~2500 health and ~250 atck. With that, you can easily get to a bear with ~5000k and 300-350% atck. If any solo player could do that, it won't have any sense, what end game does it have except that ?

Need to remove weather effects from baby animals after the first 8 hours this would be more realistic. The fact that as they get older damage to them is multiplied is stupid it should be reversed. I only raised one baby bear and that was bad enough almost died 11 times.

Our bear babies continue to die, too. The temperature is much better. This works. But now the babies are dying of starving even they have full inventory / feeders with food. We may have noticed today what the reason can be. As soon as you leave the area where the baby animal is, it stops eating. If you come back, it starts again. We do not know if it is a bug or if it is so wanted. However, it would still mean that it is impossible for single players or small companies to breed, otherwise you would have to be 24/7 in the area of the animal baby. Do others have this problem too? Sorry for my english..

Bear: I agree that bears should be able to gather honey it's what bears do. HEY HEY BOO BOO and all that Chicken: Chickens could maybe help with garden with scratching being able to work as tilling and their poop as fertalizer while placed on a crop plot. Cow: ok but wish could put a saddle on it also. Bull: could gather thatch much better Crow: seems ok atm Razortooth : no comment atm Shieldhorn: no comment atm Elephant: The elephants tusks get hung up on EVERYTHING please find a way to fix that they can't move when they do this Giant Pig: Maybe make pigs dig up our treasure and give a buff or increase for using them?? Giraffe could gather thatch much better. Horse :Make Passive tame on the horses or make a carrot on a stick to lure them Lion : I like the idea of it being able to grab an animal and move it for u. Monkey : Give a climbing buff or food reduction buff. Ostrich: more hp is all i can think of atm Parrot: Maybe use as a way to find discoveries also allow it to be your eyes or something like that. Penguin: Fix penguins to help with babies I tamed 10 and they didn't help once with bears. Rabbit :Rabbits really should give some buff also, but glad they finally ride on shoulder. Maybe they could help find certain veggies in an area? Or as someone suggested a lucky buff when doing treasure. Rhino: Rhinos should get metal also from rocks like a pickaxe can and better metal from nodes i can mine more with hand than rhino can. Seagull: I loved VEG's idea that seagulls help with fog or someone else's idea of them warning of storm... ..Someone said seagulls to send msgs or bps in this case I love this idea. Can send maps also. Sheep: I loved the ideas others said about it being for fiber which is technically real world what it is. Tiger: not used enought to comment on. Vulture: Vultures could give a buff for killing animals or something. Wolf: Wolves need better stam period. Just some of others ideas and some of my own. make it so when you lvl certain aspects of shoulder pets they give a larger buff. Love the idea to make animals ignore gathering certain items like the ankys that got changed on ark. REALLY not animal change wise but you all had the fix for animals falling through the floors on ark please bring it over to here. I'm so tired of demolishing floors to get an animal unstuck. Some animal does need to be better with gathering thatch doesn't matter if giraffe or bull or something new. Breeding please please please infinity PLEASE fix it. Shouldn't have to babysit it past the baby stage a 30+ hour watch is horrible. Something not mentioned but maybe make more NPC's that could maybe help with raising baby's? Help with farming they can sweep decks maybe they can till gardens or milk the cows etc? Please make it where u can tame the animal you should be able to get it's food source within that region if not that island. I agree with those that have said crew should be seperate from tames. Also you have the means to have items go into a bank can we have the same happen when we buy from other players? I'd love to be able to sell from my own land I have a western town set up and would love to have visitors there because hey they might farm while visiting. I would also like to add i'd love to have more premade buildings we can use and be used like forge houses etc.

So I posted this already in the suggestions but I believe it kind of goes unnoticed since there seems to be alot of suggestions lol But I for one would love this to be a thing.. Just wanted to give a suggestion in this regard. I think it would be cool to have the option to marry/impregnate women from other crews or even your own. I say this because the whole going and buying a baby thing just seems weird... lol And lets face it.. There are an overwhelming amount of men on these games playing as female toons.. So think of how cool it would be to raise your own replacement.. Hell maybe they could even get breeding stats from both parents... If you think about it, it really would add a whole new layer of depth to the game gameplay and how you interact with other people in the game.. I just feel like a system such as this would be more fluid and something to actually get more involved with than say sailing for hours only to have to die for another hour running the gambit to the FOY.. "Not saying take out he foy but maybe the buying babies part could go away" Or say buying a baby.. The last part just seems wrong on soo many different lvls wouldn't imagine I should have to post the many reasons why it might feel immoral to some.. lol I also feel as though it would promote more alliances in PVP for the sake of breeding your bloodlines and insuring it keeps going forward.. But in any case I think marriage and breeding with others is a fantastic idea and should be looked into by you guys at the very least.. Of course I have a shit ton of ideas on what i'm suggesting but I just wanted to throw out the basic idea to you guys.. Here's hoping you read this and at least consider my idea.. I think it would be awesome to set my kid on wonder in my base and see him walk around sit or interact with everything in my base.. lol

One of the animals (preferably more) need to be able to gather thatch from trees at a higher rate than a metal pick. Yes the bear can pickup reed and leaves that count as thatch but not all biomes have them which means that you have to travel fairly far to get one of the most used materials in the game. Breeding needs a rework so they eat even when your offline and the only threats are temperature and predators. The timer itself would be less of a pain if i could atleast log off for an hour before they "starved" to death with full inventories and trough within range. After the initial "baby" stage breeding should get slightly easier in terms of temperatures that they can handle, most biomes have fairly large swings in temperatures which means that its going to be almost impossible to get them to full maturation without babysitting for the entire maturation. Dont nerf any of the animals more because of PvP, most of them are already useless or have hidden effects that are almost impossible to find without doing weird testing (like someone said crows make you take way less fall damage). For specific changes to animals: - Cows Have a stat that lets you get more milk - Sheep Change the harvestable wool to something that is more used (at this point im fairly certain that most players are swimming in hide). - Elephant Make its stamina regen faster, at its current speed its less atrocious for me to run around farming on my own and dropping wood on it than it is to farm with the elephant, wait for stamina and farm again. - Rhino Let it get metal at the same rate as with a pick, right now it basically removes the metal from the stones and only picks up the stone+flint. - Penguins Their current AoE insolation needs to become an actual buff (instead of silently adding to the values) and it needs to affect baby animals (if it currently does its not noticable).
