ARK Breeding GUIDE for MUTATION STACKING | ARK Survival Ascended

you asked for it you wanted to have a step-by-step guide on how to build up your breeding groups to stack mutations you asked for a video showing everything from the beginning to end and here we are I just freshly spawned into my single player Island that I wiped right before so we're starting at the very beginning this video here is made with the help of being able to change settings and how quick the time runs and we also have the magic of editing so here we are we cleared the island to start setting everything up with the power of editing these are my improvised base headquarters first I will show you what structures you want to have in your breeding base and not all of those are needed but if you want to do breeding comfortably you just follow along with the structures that I'm setting up I'm setting up cry fres for being able to unry dinos in the base but also being able to store previous breeders as a backup I usually have at least two fres one for clean creatures and one for mutated ones they also need a running generator to be activated I also set up some airons they help you to provide the perfect temperature for incubating your EGS you don't need that many I just set them up for visual reasons here you can see what we have set up first thing you want to do after setting your breeding base are probably is to get breeders for the animal that you want to breed for that Scout a few highle dinosaurs that you want to breed and the more you can get the better but early on and because of how ASA works it's fine to just have a male and a female and go with it in my case I tamed three females and one male Caro for every one of them to have the chance to provide a high Lev stat for me but now to the Cry of fres that are already charged and now I can unput my dinos in the base I would suggest to put settles on all of them to be able to move them easily to find out the level points and make the combining easier I use AR smart breeding I set up a fresh Library open up the settings window and pull my game user settings eenie and my game eenie onto the settings window like just Dr and drop it on the settings window to set up the multipliers right the thing that talks to Arc smart breeding and correctly exports the stats and the mutations is the export gun mod this is the only mod I run on this tutorial because it makes the exporting more streamlined I export all the creatures and ASB creates the names for them I have previously by the way set up the pattern how I want to name them and ASB automatically creates them in xmart breeding you can now see in green the highest STS each creature has in this case all of them Prov a high stat for my breeding line that's not always the case but we are lucky this time we now want to put all those green stats together on one creature the easiest way is to breed all the females with the male and keep every animal that is a higher level than one of the parents then you don't have to check the stats you just check the levels in this case I kept a female with a level 226 because it's two level higher than the parents I also later exported her and see that she didn't combine any of the high stats but simply combined higher non High stats in this case that can happen but I don't need her so I get rid of her so back to hatching more eggs this time though I was Ultra lucky because ASB showed us that we can get a 256 Caro at best what we had hatching was a 250 so that got us super close to the final goal we're just missing six levels ASB shows us that we combined three of the six possible stats and that also makes two of our initial creatures obsolete it's one of the females and breeding mail so we Cryer those breeders away that are not needed anymore and store them in one of our Cryer fridges the level 250 mail is now the new breeder and we made it with the two remaining females we need a few tries to get something useful out of this but that is completely normal the chance to get the better stat from a parent is only 55% per stat so it gets rolled for each stat separately so you can imagine how rare it is if you compare it with throwing a coin and having a coin land on the same side for as many times as you have stats you want to transfer and here we come to a very interesting point we got higher level babies that each have stats overlapping that I want to combine the chance of getting a combined Offspring out of those is quite high so I keep them and I use them as an in between step the highest Offspring I can get out of these is a level 254 I cry on another female that I now don't need anymore and keep the female that still has the last step that I need to combine and of course it still needs a few attempts until I am lucky enough to get a 254 Offspring and since it's a wrong gender I keep it but I keep breathing further in one of my next runs I was lucky enough getting the 254 male which I can then use for breeding with the last remaining tamed female to get us the last St carried over I get rid of the 254 female because I don't need her anymore now breathing the 254 male with a 224 female can get highly different results results so it takes a while to actually carry over one specific stat to the rest I decide in the middle of it to keep a female with a level 242 she has the stat that I need to carry over but she also has a few other stats from the mail that makes the likelihood much higher for me to get a fully combined one that's just simply because there are less possibilities of combinations I can get and that finally gave me my first 256 caros so the fully combined carot Taurus it's a female and I breed her back with a 254 m it is now really likely to get another because it's just one step that differs and I keep all of the 256 females to use them to create my initial breeding group to create more breeders and this is the base of our mutation stacking that we are going to do later on so we officially finished the combining at this point and I can cry away every Dyno that does not have the level we are looking for I set up settles for all of the females because it makes it so much easier to put them into a line I'll later decide against the setup because having them in two rows next to each other makes it possible to breed them without having to reposition the mail during the breeding I place two rows having them face away from each other and because of the height of the carnos I can simply build two Rams and snap ceilings to it to have a platform the mail can walk on with the UI ruptor I don't need to pick up the X anyway so this is a really nice and compact setup I'm testing out if the range is good enough and I can reach all females on there sweet this is a good setup for boosted stats unofficial you probably don't get around having several of these setups and walk the mail from setup to setup I also hatch another over Raptor because I will use it to transport XS later on when the over raptor is facing to the hatching area in the right angle using o in its inventory pukes out the eggs in a very reliable right spot when getting rid of the babies I realized that having a metal area below the hatching spot might be smarter because I'm destroying the floor with with my metal Pikes I quickly change out the stone for metal foundations what I'm now looking for is any Caro that is level 258 because it's two level higher than the initial breathing group that means it has a mutation and first I find a life mutation it's on a female though but not a problem we keep her the male mutation is a male so no extra work needed here now to the little morbid part of the AR breeding I set up a few industrial grills because you will end up with a lot of meat but especially prime meat cook it and it will provide food for your dinos during the whole breeding process I get an additional stamina mutated Caro also on a female and of course we keep it for now the life and stamina mutated females are now set up to be M with an unmutated male so I can get a male offspring out of that mating with both of the mutations after a few hatches I get stamina on a mail yay this is going to be the stam line breeda male and here you can see it's Henny having an OV ruptor at hand because then you can just walk away and left them on breed or you can even set them to breed overnight next I throw out a bunch of eggs from the life mutated female at this point I wish wild cart would offer a search function for infos within that info window of the egg so we could just search for the parent name and then just throw out those EGS from that parent so wild cart if you're watching that would be awesome I got a life mutation on a mail and I cry it out of the group of dinos and the rest is going to be prime meat for now the life mutation female is now crying and stored away I usually don't get rid of stuff in case some dinos die or something attacks or the server has issues and I see every Dino I put away as like one backup instance for me the stamina female finds a cozy spot in the Cryer fridge as well with a life mutation male being adult now I can switch it as the main breeder for the lifeline I'm breeding the line separately to make it easier for me to get the right mutation after a few hatches I get the second life mutation on the existing mutation deack and I don't show every empty round but just so that you know the total recording time for this tutorial took 12 hours so you can imagine and I'm on super boosted stats since it's a female now again I seem to be very lucky today to show you on how to transfer mutations that often we need to breed her back to an unmutated male and to hatch us later we also get it with a life two male being now adult we switch out the previous male with it and we breed our unmutated females with the life to male as you can see the initial females are staying where they are and they will never ever be switched out in a bunch of Hedges later we are continuing with our streak of getting the mutation on a female life three our third life mutation is on a female as well breeding her back with an unmutated male gives me a male of spring with a mutation so the life three male is now our new breeder maale and the old one is going into the Cryer fridge being stored away and what follows is now almost 1 hour of hatching babies on super boosted rates to get the life for mutation I eventually get it though on a female I'm really lucky in these 50/50 chance business or unlucky it depends how you see it at least I get my mutation transfers first hatching group the first baby and that makes it a little less tedious the life form male is adult and it replaces the old male as the breeder I'm going to breed to five mutations here first to make this video below 10 hours but also nothing changes within your setup until you reach your final mutation it doesn't matter if you only want to breed to 20 mutations or 100 mutations the only thing you maybe want to change at some point is to increase the number of females you breed with because once you reach the 20 mutations the soft cap hits and the speed in which you will get mutations slows down and therefore you need more eggs or more females but other than that you never change a single thing what follows again is what felt like an eternity of hatching XG and not getting the right mutation but finally I'm lucky though I get the life five con on a Taurus and as a surprise it is actually on a mail so we don't need to do anything further with it and now it's time to switch the lines to the melee line and while I'm doing the lines one after another I only do this because it's less confusing for you you can do both at the same time if you want to by having either two groups of females or even more efficient while waiting for the male of one line to grow you can breed the other male with a females off cool down I do it this way though to give you a clear structure in this video but just so that you know you don't need to do it in this order do it how it's the most efficient and the best for you and what now follows we're a bunch of hatches and finally a little blue Carnotaurus this time a male and it carried the second me imitation on its deck no need to transfer stats here and then my game crashed and my recording crashed so I don't have the footage of me switching out Mele 1 with Mee 2 to get melee 3 but I have the footage of me naming melee 3 and since it's a girl we made her back with a clean mail and wait for the male version of M 3 to be born and melee 3 is now our new breeder and we're looking for melee 4 by the way I'm still mainly looking for the overall level of the baby and then check out which stat is the additional mutation between m 3 and four we have a ton of hatches and I edited out about half of my tries because while I don't want to bore you with looking at hatching dinos I think it's really important to show you that sometimes you can have 10 to 20 rounds of nothing happening and then the next three mutations are always happening in the first or second round it's so randomized after all and while it can be very annoying it is the fun for me cuz when you waited for a mutation for a long time and you suddenly get it it's such a nice feeling and it took so long this time that I stopped my recording at some point because the files were getting too big and I eventually got melee 4 on a female what a surprise and I had to transfer the mutation over via mating with a clean mail and it was again the first hedge in which I I got the mutation transferred and I was even more happy to see that the little pink horns get transferred as well with M4 now being the new mail I want to also have a look at our ASB library because while I still export all of the dinos it might be interesting for you to see how it looks now when using the export gun you can get the mutations in a separate column and you can see in the overview which mutations we have you will still see the correct base levels that of course don't change anymore with Asa but you can now also sort by the amount of mutation levels you got and we can also see our previous breeders that we tamed and our females and our upto-date breathing group and now it takes a whole whole lot of bunch of new hatches to get the next and for us also the last mutation on this line that we have here again these are not all of the hatches that I'm showing you I had paused at some point my recording but eventually we got the Mele five on a female and this time we don't transfer the mutation stack to a male because having a female in this case is actually what we want because we need it for the next step we use our life five male that we got from the previous line breeding and the melee five girl we got from this line breeding and combine both Stacks together ultimately ending with a level 276 baby because it gets five mutations which is an additional 10 levels we keep one level 276 male and all of the 276 females you can technically already use these as a Bross group but what I would do though is have a group of already combined dinos and then you can get your combination out of those guaranteed so you just keep like one group with all of the mutated and combined stats and the babies out of those you use for your boss group I usually also put the tribe mate into the name of the dinosaur in case my lines ever get stolen and this is a thing in PVE that is usually against the server rules so it's always nice to have a proof that it's your line on PVP it usually does doesn't matter so if you're in PVE it's a nice safety feature on PVP don't worry about it but with this final group you can create Offspring let your trib mates imprint the creatures for bosses raids and farming one thing I usually do as a breeder for my tribe is to create combined groups at a specific Target mutation level so my tribe always has good and updated creatures while I still continue breeding in the background so let's say I have 25 mutations I have 50 I have 75 I have 100 so I will combine them and give the dinos to My Tribe just never use those combined creatures for the line breeding only use them for the tasks within the game and you probably noticed that I did not care about the site which the mutation is occurring on during the whole process and this is because it does not matter which side triggers the mutation I keep all my females unmutated for the whole time and that's the whole Magic in stacking mutations everything else you can pretty much ignore I did have the export gun with its dead window open during the breeding but you can do this without a mod as well you just don't imprint any creature during the process of breeding and you compare the stat of the baby with the stat of the parent then you can see which stat mutated while you are looking for your high levels and I hope this handon video helped you how to build your own breeding group from taming to final boss group and I hope you now understand the process you have to go through when you want to become your tribe's breeder if you still have questions let me know because I'm always happy to help you and now go and tame and breed your creatures enjoy bye
