      This video is very very bad compared to some others, if you are confused about how to properly breed and want to actually understand it I would highly recommend TiiaAurora's videos on breeding. I'm not saying this video is wrong, it's just so fast paced and not in depth that you don't get a chance to actually understand anything. For comparison, Tiia's videos about breeding and stacking mutations are 20m each, and are already very compressed with information.

    i actually learned a lot from this. gonna try to look out for their stats more often and changes in them after breeding. it does make more sense the more you think about. its mainly boiled down to finding good, high-stat dinos and breeding them to create a change in their baby's stats to make more babies to create the perfect dino of your liking.

      @Syntac Hey Syntac, I have a few questions if you have time to answer. I'm sure you are busy so if you don't have time don't worry about it. If you have already answered these questions before please ignore them as I must have overlooked them and I apologize ahead of time. I've watched your video a few times now and I've reviewed the other articles I've found that have been posted regarding breeding.
      1. If I have a Male Dino with one melee mutation upgrade +1 (2 melee points) from breeding on the Paternal side that then breeds with his unmuated/base female companions, that then spawns a Female Dino with +2 melee upgrade(4 melee points) on the Paternal side, could I then breed the +1 melee male with the +2 melee female to create +2 melee babies without any negative side effects? I had hoped that I could combine the two together to achieve the +2 melee on a new male and then breed the new +2 melee male with the unmutated females to continue the normal breeding process.
      2. I understand that you can choose to breed only melee with one male and then only health with another male. Is there any downside to mutating some into health and some into melee on one male through breeding instead of focusing on one or the other? Or does it just make tracking the mutations much easier if you keep melee on one male and health on another?
      3. To continue mutating a dino, you basically have to keep starting new breeding lines sort to speak and then once you have a new "max 20/20" male, you breed until you have a max 20/20 female who then will breed with another 20/20 male in order to go above the 20/20 limit to 40/20 for example. New line + Breed with your female squad to mutate on up.
      #1 20/20 Male Breeds with a different line of 20/20 Female to create 40/20 Male.
      #2 40/20 Male then breeds with another new line of 20/20 Female to boost that number to 60/20.
      Is this correct? And I assume you would just keep BASE/non-mutated males in reserve to mate with your female squad.
      4. I believe you went over this but I wanted to make sure I understood correctly. Once a baby is born with a mutation, you 100% want the mutated baby to be a male, not a female so that you can breed with the unmutated females, great. Does the mutation have to strictly come from the Male/Father side or can the mutation come from the Female/Mother side? I thought all of mutations needed to come from the fathers side so that when you breed with a base/unmutated female, the mutations could continue as the female is 0/20. I hope that made sense...as I'm writing it I'm questioning and possibly confusing myself. I may be looking too much into this.
      5. Do the rules of "max level" apply to unofficial/private servers? I've seen a few people posting about how they have level 2000+ Dinos on a private/unofficial server, and even after a restart their dinos are still present. Maybe they are lucky? I 100% would not want my bred dino to be deleted. I understand that on official the level cap of 450 will apply and wipe any dino over that level but I wasn't sure about unofficial/private.

    So if I'm understanding the level cap portion right, you want to breed a "perfect" dino with a low level dino in order to keep most of the stats of a high dino but decrease it's level with a throwaway stat like oxygen? Damn is that clever if that's the case.
    As for breeding the perfect dino army, I'd just keep breeding the 20 mutated M/F dinos indefinitely?

      @@fishskategaming OK let's say you get a Hp mutation on a male. And now you get a disired dmg mutation on a female or vise versa. You want to keep both. Basically you can go 20/20 on the dmg mut. and 20/20 on the HP mut. But you need to do it with 2 different Dinos. Bacause if one Dino has 17 in Hp and 3 in dmg and later you combine the stats by mating with a 13 dmg 7 HP most you will get is a 17hp/13 dmg. But you want 20/20. So keep the mutation of the extra stats in a second Dino or baby which you get on your way anyways. Convert that second Dino into male, by mating, so later on its easier to mate with all the females.

    Getting mutations is very time consuming, so if you do get a female with the mutation you can just breed breed it with the original male until your new mutated female has has a male offspring with the mutation

      I play official and this is not how you breed a mutation on both sides of the parents fucks up the stats you want a good male stud with lots of low level clone females and if you get a mutation make that the new stud ect

      It doesn’t fuck up the stats, it stays the same. Breeding with low levels just decreases the level and removes points lol

      Question, do the original female/male need to be the same lvl? Or is it fine of ones like a 225 and other a 217

      I think you can breed them to get the same level in both but with different genders (That's what I do at least) and then you start breeding for mutations once you have the same stats/level parents (For easier way of spotting mutations)
