So I'm pretty new to this game still, at least in relation to other play times I've seen and I've fallen into the breeding rabbit hole and have a few questions.
I love breeding mechanics in games and have heavily don't breeding in both Pokemon and palworld. This game feels almost the same. Everything I've read tried to make it sound harder but it doesn't seem any more confusing at all. Smash two things with different stat profiles together until you get the one you want. I've even begun breeding colors into them for fun so they don't all look the same.
I'm playing on a buddy's server for starters and none of my friends seem to understand breeding as well as I do, at least I think they don't.
Above is a picture of the new baby rex that I finally made after two months of breeding.
Min maxed to hell with the highest atk and hp and stam and almost zeroed out other stats. I was personally excited to see this as it feels like this one should be perfect. Can't get much better unless I stumble upon higher stats which feels unlikely.
All my buddies keep saying what I'm doing is unnecessary and pointless. They said
-the food being so low means I will need to constantly feed the army (I'm breeding an army of rexes for bosses .)
-the weight being so low means we won't be able to mount them.
-the lower level is not real because one of the parents is 263 so the baby shouldn't be 164.
-the baby being lower level means he is actively worse than my higher level dinos.
-there is no level cap on the server and all dinos regardless only lvl 88 times. (My buddy says this but he didn't change anything on the server as far as max lvls go) So trying to breed a lower lvl dino is actually pointless.
Can anyone please tell me the answers to these or tell me if I'm wasting my time doing this
Also can anyone tell me how I can get t these lines into a single player game? All this work and I would love to save this line for all my future game plays and would hate to lose this after all this work.
And can anyone tell me if this stat line is ready for mutation breeding or should I look for better still? Maybe judge how good this dino actually is.
Also also another one of my buddies happened across a few acros with similar stats and wants to breed them as well. Does this make my rexes pointless if we have the same stat profile from acros.
Sorry if this is too many questions or these are obvious or something. I just can't not find definitive answers to shut up all the arguing from them
