Every creature which is capable of laying an egg has exactly the same laying rate (except for Dodos). Both wild creatures and tamed creatures can be used to build creature farms for eggs.ĭodos don't lay eggs like other dinos, every time dodos poop they have a chance to lay an egg.

Any species of herbivore will become aggressive if players pickup an egg from the ground nearby them (except for Dodos, Moschops, and Parasaurs) but simply carrying an egg won't. Some dinosaurs will seek you out if you have an egg of their species in your inventory. While they are great for kibble production and human consumption, they offer no nutrition to tamed dinos, (except for the Oviraptor, Titanoboa and Basilisk). Any creatures hatched in this manner will always be level 1 due to absence of Maternal and Paternal details.Įggs all have different colors and sizes while out of the players inventory, and each have a different weight, too. This is due to the egg having little to no health on the command-spawned egg if it is dropped in an area where it can incubate and the health does not deplete, it can hatch. Said eggs spawned in with commands will disappear as soon as they are dropped, and thus can not be hatched. The only exception to fertilized eggs would be the Wyvern, Rock Drake, Deinonychus, and Magmasaur, none of which can be tamed in the wild and their fertile eggs must be obtained from the wild nest. It is also notable that the creatures have to stay close and the wandering mechanic might drive them apart. A mating bar will appear, and once finished, the female will lay a fertilized egg (differentiated by a red cloud surrounding the egg). They have to be near each and both have to be set on wander or set to mating, not overloaded, not following and not mounted (for mountable dino).

To mate creatures, you must have a tamed male and female of the same species. The ability to hatch fertilized eggs was added in v219.0 through breeding. Currently, they can be used as a food source (players can consume them for large amounts of nourishment), for creating Kibble (a useful item for fast and effective taming), and for hatching (to raise baby creatures fertilized eggs only). Keep in mind that the dinos must stay in range during the process yet can still wander away from each other, meaning you should either build a mating pen for the dinos or mash the "stop moving" button and switching between looking at the male and female (I normally end up doing this because I usually end up with pens too big) since that does not break the qualifications for breeding.Eggs are dropped by certain creatures and can be found anywhere they decide to drop one. The female will get a meter showing how much longer is left until it's over, and once it's filled a glowing egg is laid and the female gets a cooldown until she can breed again. When close enough to each other, they will start to breed, indicated by a group of red hearts, different from the single, pink mate boost heart. The best way to get eggs, however, is to get fertilized eggs (I'm pretty sure you can use them for the same things as unfertilized eggs.) In order for two dinos to breed to get eggs, both must be on wander, not following anything and not overburdened. If I recall, unfertilized eggs have a small chance to be laid once a dino poops.
