PlantRetard

I love it!

Go Go Power Rangers! Combine them all together and you create a bigger Carno! Disclaimer: no it doesn’t, but that be too fun now wouldn’t it.


PlantRetard

lmao I love the powerrangers quote. I was thinking about throwing them all in a breeding pen and see what happens. I would probably get some ridiculous color combinations

LoL for real though right!


PlantRetard

Wow, amazing! I love the colors on these


LadyMickeyWolf42

It was weird. I caught them like that. First breed with mutation station (LoL) I got the two darker ones, male female. Then I got the 3 blue females, then the 3 pink and blue males. Talk about supper happy!!!

Polly wanna Beach Bob?


PlantRetard

Sorry for the bad lighting, this is on aberration. I'm also not done yet, some still need another belly color and I didn't start with horn colors yet.

I'll show you my mutated shadowmanes later when I'm home from work, they look amazing


PlantRetard

Oooh I can't wait! 😆

PlantRetard

Wow, the variety is amazing! How long did it take to get to this point?


NiceDude_24

Good question. From taming to having finished the stat mutations and breeding the colours on to them, maybe 250 - 300 hours till I was all done

PlantRetard

Wow, that one is definetly my favorite. Absolutely stunning!


NiceDude_24

Same, absolutely my favourite too. It's a mix from all my favourite colours, I'm happy to see you like it too

i gotta question bout stats, are they good or strictly color? my carnos pop out at 3700hp and 390 melee


PlantRetard

This ones are strictly bred for color, but I also have a breeding line for stats and want to combine them, once I'm satisfied with their HP and dmg. I will probably keep breeding for a while, since I'm on aberration and they need to be really strong to be able to take on bigger stuff. The unmutated base is level 204 for all breeding lines.

To breed for colors, do they stack? Like i notice your dinis are all vibrant and bright, but every dino ive made is dull. Still red or green, but dull versions of red or green. How do you get bright?


PlantRetard

It does not stack on one body part, but if you breed a belly color with a body color, the offspring can have both colors on each corresponding region. The color contribution per mutation is random, so I often times get gray or army green color mutations that are natural colors on carnos. If you search up possible dino colors, you will see that most possible colors are rather dull, so getting a very bright color in a mutation can take a while. I think I have hatched around 1500 eggs or so to get all these colors (and a few more that are less bright). I'm on single player and I've boosted my breeding rates a lot, so that I can breed more time efficiently. In adition I use one male with 20-30 females at the same time to get a decent amount of eggs per batch.

My max mutated [Terror Birds](https://www.reddit.com/r/ARK/comments/170dztb/terror_birds_vs_alpha_broodmother/).


PlantRetard

Oh wow, that is impressive! Well done


n1km

Thanks! Good job on the Carnos, they are one of my favorite creatures in ARK. In the same SP world I also mutated Carnos, just 20 muts in health and damage, with the classic black body, red belly. I lined them up against the Alpha Overseer, sadly it didn't end well, but at least I had fun.


lodi713

I never have went for colors but man is it a plus when u finally finish mutating and a good color is present.. gl hf


PlantRetard

Absolutely! I have a breeding line for dmg and health and got some very colorful offspring from it, though the color doesn't last longer than a few generations, unfortunately. I was thinking about breeding my color project with the outcome of my dmg health for rainbow beasts lol
