ItsNotUs Breeding Philosophy
At ItsNotUs, we approach breeding as a science. Our methods are designed for maximum efficiency and predictable outcomes, allowing us to produce superior dinosaurs in less time than other tribes.
Our Breeding Principle:
"Quality lineage management leads to predictable mutation outcomes and superior dinosaurs."
Setting Up Your Breeding Operation
A successful ItsNotUs breeding operation requires:
- Temperature-controlled environment (air conditioners or dimetrodons)
- Feeding troughs for babies
- Preserving bins for storing eggs
- Organization system for tracking lineages
ItsNotUs Tip:
We use a color-coded light system above each breeding pair to indicate mutation status at a glance.
The ItsNotUs Breeding Process
- Enable mating on both parents
- Wait for the mating bar to fill
- Collect the egg (or wait for live birth for mammals)
- Incubate the egg at the appropriate temperature
- Raise the baby by providing appropriate food
- Imprint on the baby for stat bonuses
Advanced Breeding Techniques
Stat Inheritance
Offspring have a 70% chance to inherit the higher stat from each parent. This means if the mother has high Health and the father has high Melee Damage, the baby has a good chance of inheriting both high stats.
Lineage Management
We keep detailed records of our dinosaurs' stats and mutation counts. Our naming system includes key information like mutation counts and primary stats.
ItsNotUs Naming Convention Example:
Rex-H425-M12 = Rex with 425 Health and 12 mutations
Giga-M480-F = Giga with 480 Melee and clean female
Efficient Mutation Stacking
To efficiently stack mutations:
- Use clean females (0 mutations) with your mutated males
- Breed in large numbers to increase mutation chances
- Focus on one stat at a time
- Replace your breeding male when you get a better mutation
Imprinting
Imprinting provides significant stat bonuses to bred creatures. To maximize imprinting:
- Imprint every time the message appears (approximately every 4 hours)
- Different creatures require different care (cuddling, walking, or specific foods)
- 100% imprinting provides 30% bonus to all stats and 30% damage resistance when ridden by the imprinter
ItsNotUs Secret:
We schedule our imprinting sessions around server save times to minimize the risk of rollbacks affecting our progress.
ItsNotUs Breeding Calculators
We use these formulas to plan our breeding program:
Mutation Chance
Each baby has a 7.31% chance of getting a mutation, which means approximately 1 in 14 babies will have a mutation.
Stat Calculation
Baby stats are determined by:
Base Level = 1
Wild Levels = Sum of inherited wild levels
Tamed Levels = 0 (for bred creatures)
Total Level = Base Level + Wild Levels + Tamed Levels
ItsNotUs Tips for Efficient Breeding
Time Management
Plan your breeding around your schedule. Some creatures have long maturation times that require attention over many hours.
Stack Breeding
Breed multiple females with the same male simultaneously to increase your chances of getting mutations.
Effective Naming
Use our naming convention that includes stats and mutation counts for easy identification.
Organization
Keep your breeding area organized with separate pens for different lines and stages of development.
ItsNotUs Breeding Achievement
We once bred a line of 20 mutated Rexes in just 3 weeks, with an average of 35 health mutations each.
