THATS what they changed in BREEDING in ARK Survival Ascended 

This is nice and I’ve been waiting for a video like this since I like to breed on official but I’m console player. Will be great to start breeding right away without worrying about getting the higher possible stats in advance. Thank you!!

Just don't ever start the video with a jump scare. Please

WOW. Truly impressive. I felt like i was watching a science video lol thank you for the hard work! I have notifications on for when you post an updated video! Very cool

I feel like it might be important to say, that due to the removal of the movement speed stat, there is now no stat points that get wasted into movement speed (points that went into movement speed had no affect on the speed of the creature). This means that there is more points that can end up going into other stats resulting is slightly better creatures overall(This goes for base level and mutations stat points). Although I have not tested this, but if you add up the total number of base level points (and also mutation points) it will result in a number one less that the creatures overall level (Level 1 creatures have 0 in all stats). This also means the is a better chance to get creatures with one stat higher than the rest. Also there is a higher chance of a mutation to land on a stat that you actually want rather than getting wasted on movement speed stat. Tldr; Because movement speed stat is removed, creatures are slightly better (I think, not tested)

Good lord that face gives me flash backs of working at a gas station

Not trying to be mean but the face is very creepy giving me chucky bride vibe 😅lol

Great video! I have been looking for something like this. This is going to make breeding so much easier and less time consuming but I know it will suck on pve to some breeders because the value of their work will not be as high anymore.

The first minute looks like a video from the dark web with the dead dodo in the corner of the screen and the wall behind you 😂

It's really nice to see so many popular mods make their way into the base game (even if this one is locked behind tek, ew) and tracking it separately is nice but an extra bit of breeding work for those who care. I think the real reason it split is to make breeding more straightforward since in the past people would get the mutation counters up into the hundreds when it was really just a mix of like 20 or so and improper breeding techniques (for the game they were breeding on). Since it tracked how many mutations both parents had, 20 mutations each parent would show as 40 on a baby with no new mutations and 60 if you bred that with one of the other 20 parents and so on.

That’s pretty awesome news, and good explaination of it all. Since levels are garbage on the Island this will make a big differnce.

So helpful. Excellent explanation. Thank you so much!!!

Wow, this is huge. Thanks for the clear explanation! 💜

That is honestly really interesting what they done. Really looking forward to playing it and seeing a more up to date video on how it all works.

Woah, I didn’t even see that detail! That is gonna change breeding for the better, I am so excited for this!

This makes me less upset about all the low level creatures on the island.

Wow! Such a nice change! Thank you for all the research you all do!

Woohoo thanks again Tiia for answering one of my questions from the dino talk. Now just to wait for console release... Sorting you a Kofi

Interesting! Really hope this is by design and not something they'll remove. As a breeder this is great, though I can see why some might not like it as it is pretty powerful with that change.

Thats fucking intro was so fucking scary wtf

Your character looks like she has gingivitis and is bleeding in the gums😮

Almost sounds like pokemon breeding😊

Very informative! I'm looking forward to your upcoming video with more details. I take it we still need to do the whole clean line routine to get the best out of the mutation strategy?

I'm super excited to mutate the Shastasaurus. I want a pod of them being my mobile underwater base.

Now we have to figure out the value of each mutation on every creature.

Your talking avatar is scary hahah

I still don't fully understand it. I only recently dived In breeding and used your old in depth Guide to learn it. Combine best stats, mutate stat to 20 repeat and combine. But now I don't know Anymore

the close up talking face is creepy af

My brain is too smooth, I’m gonna need more videos on breeding. 👀

What’s the programs you using to see Dino stats ?

im still kinda confused on this.. so basically just stack up a bunch of mutations on a dino to get higher melee?

Hey I was wondering have they finally fixed the bug with the Megalosaurus grab attack?

Makes me wonder how we will keep track of this without the Tek binoc's How will the egg incubator display these figures?

OK if anything convinced me it's worth starting my single player game over it's this. Even though I managed to breed a nice line of Argies, I hadn't started on any boss fight dinos yet. Even starting all over, the time this alone would save is probably worth it.

this vid really didnt make a lot of sense.... the base stats were always seperate just not displayed as such, the mutations always stacked and were inherited you just had a limit set on them unless you did the lines a specific way.

I know you had posted a second video with a different take on the breeding. does that mean upon further testing you original results (the ones from this video) are the correct results?

Finally it wont be pain when your breeding for colors or something and get a important mutation but on a low lvl dino so it wass useless

BLINK for fuck sake! BLINK!!

hey hey, how do you guys get rid of unwanted baby dinos while breeding?

Can't wait for this game to be playable in 2030!😂

you figured out you were right and made a mistake somewhere in your testing?

God, the player models look soooo much worse than SE. I can’t get over how your character looks like a zombie.

So many people dont understand breeding its crazy. Which makes life better for me. Less competent competition lol

i kinda dread cuddle requests with no cryo pods to reset when they want kibble

That IS much better.

Why can't they just make breeding simple, why all this chess game style for a mechanic lol

That's a great change! I can't wait until ASA doesn't require several thousand dollars in upgrades just to run lol

i miss the incubator =/ .. and Cryo-pods ..

Wow, I both love and really hate this

How do you unlock the binocs?

Great video thanks for the info

Is your character talking from ai or is that from the game when you engage in local vc?

I hope the devs make mutations harder to get on the larger dinos and easier on the smaller ones. The PvP balance requires it.

I been trying play, but every unofficial server keeps going offline and official full. I may just single player for now. Anyone got recommendations for servers to join? I’m trying to get point to breed

🎉 Thank you. Great video

I'm more surprised you can make your character speak and look lifelike.

What is mp bp etc?

wait what..

omg thats so much better

Hey it’s my fav pve player

darn i didnt understand at all

breeding good

How is this new? if u used the s+ mod with the awesome spyglass its kind of the same i guess

😮😮😮

hallo dino menschen :)

bot

Even the lowest rate modded server has had these features for years, for me, there's not really anything new

You absolutely cannot take mutations earned from one tame, and breed them against. Wild tame and have thoze mutation stacks apply a mutTion effect against the new stat. The best possible outcome is you get your new stat, with one mutation if both parents werent mutTion capped

I don't understand this video at all 😢 I feel like it's explained way too fast and not enough examples.

Bad change

Wait what it can't handle 50 dodos? Lol

Mutations were present in evolved. I suspect they may have just made it more obvious in the interface.
