We Managed To Replicate the New Mutation System Mechanics 

I object!

a more complicated way of telling mutations without the actual points seen thru binoculars is to go into ur creatures inventory, write down the stat numbers and see which increase, but that can also be difficult because none of them increase if the mutation goes into speed and some of them go into oxy which for some dinos like bary is also set to 0. hope that helped a bit

colors could always be passed down without the stat that mutated to trigger it. They just cant occur without each other

I currently have Rexes with 4 mutations both on Health and Melee. By the old way of breeding mutated males to unmutated females.

No they can go higher up. I had them up in the 40s in some of my tests. I assume they go to 254

@@TiiaAurora why 254? Was that the limit in ase?

@@astrojello6882 255 base points per stat. But since you get 2 mutations you can only get an even number which is 254.

jep, thats why I unlisted my correction video

That's something we're trying to find out yet.

press B

Thats exactly why they did it

@@TiiaAurora it’s bs man why would they wipe Dino stats essentially, that’s why I don’t want to play official ever again it’s soo rigged

@@infamous2297It could also be used to make certain tames stronger; i.e. if the devs wanted to make spinos more competitive as boss runners they could make spino health mutation levels give a bit more health than a regular base level.

exactly thats what it means

This comment helped me understand so thank you! Ark breeding confuses the crap out of me lol

It means that mutation stack can be moved onto a higher stat so if you have 19 mutations into health and suddenly your tribemate comes home with a higher base health stat all you have to do is breed the higher base into the line rather than start again.

Thats wht i got outta this as well

exactly

you could always get more mutations than 20

There is no way for me to get a server with Nitrado exclusivity. So testing for now has to be in Singleplayer only.

its not you overcomplicating it. its the game overcomplicating it. basically you breed them one by one by one by one :D

@@TiiaAurora thank you very much 😀

thats what it means :)

In ark survival evolved mutations couldn't be passed without the bad stat, but now because it's tracked separately, you theoretically mutate bad dinos and move the mutations to a good dino with higher base stats than the initial mutation line

Meaning you can start mutating stats independently of finding a tame with a high stat. You can then breed the mutation stack on to the dino with the high base stat once its found.

Mutations no longer increase the base level; they instead add to their own separate level counter. For example, say you start mutating with a rex that has 40 base health levels, and get 5 health mutations. Back in ASE, that rex would show 50 base health, now in ASA it would show 40 base health, 10 mutation health. Now lets say you tame a rex that is super lucky and comes out with 50 base health. In ASE, all your mutation effort would have been wasted, since your new higher base stat is the same as your mutated one. Now in ASA, you could mate that new 50 base health rex with your 40 base, 10 mutation rex and get a 50 base, 10 mutation health rex, passing those mutated levels on while keeping the higher base.

And here there were people celebrating no cryo 😅

@@TiiaAurora I love the no cryopods idea but not with 100 tame limit

Find a PvP tribe and enjoy the unlimited tame limit. There's lots of them out there that will take a PvE player in that specializes in breeding/taming only

@@10DefPureSS Nah PvP players seem to like to stay with each other :D Usually they prefer to insult me

@@TiiaAurora That's crazy. I guess I'm lucky to be in a chill PvP tribe. They make sure their breeders have everything they need since they're an important part of the tribe.
