Enhancement: Breeding Plan tab add "This egg just hatched"

Open b-morgan opened this issue 7 years ago • 3 comments

On the Breeding Plan tab, there is a "These Parents just mated" button which adds a timer to the Raising tab which includes incubation. I'd like to request a "This egg just hatched" button which does the same thing except the incubation time is zero. We have an S+ Hatchery so the incubation time is different (and mostly irrelevant). I do however, like the idea of the baby phase and full maturation timers the Raising tab provides and for live births, the gestation time is useful as well.

If you right-click an entry in the Incubation/Gestation section you can select Extract values of hatched/born baby. IIRC that should set the correct species and the parents for that creature in the extractor, you still have to enter the stats and the maturation-percentage of the baby, though. After adding it to the library, it should appear in the Babies section with the according timers.

Is this (or similar) is what you had in mind?

Doesn't Extract values of hatched/born baby require that the baby has been loaded into the library? If so, then that isn't what I had in mind. I normally don't extract the baby dino to load it as it almost always fails (I think the S+ Nanny is the cause).

My work flow is breed the parents and they drop a fertilized egg. The S+ Hatchery picks up the egg and incubates it to 1/100. Some time after the Hatchery is done, I take the egg out and drop it in my breeding area with the A/C units and it hatches (usually in less than 30 seconds). I imprint the baby so the Nanny will start feeding it and then I can Alt-TAB to ASB and click "These parents just mated" but that starts with an incubation timer which is already complete. I'm asking for a button like "These parents just mated" but instead of starting with the incubation timer, it starts with the baby timer (i.e. set incubation to 0:00).

Not related to your request but a side note to the Nanny - the problem with extracting is that almost instantly the baby gets 1% imprint from it and that make the extraction fail since ark has the "bug" that not all stats update instantly after an imprint. As workaround i usually disable the Nanny before i drop the eggs. Then after the are hatched and exported into ASB i activate the nanny again that way they are still at 0% imprint and can be extracted without errors.
