In all cases, try to clear any surrounding normal Carnotaurus so they cannot assist the Alpha Carnotaurus in battle.Īs with all alphas, distracting the carnotaurus to a corpse which it will be fixated on and can not destroy allows you to snipe it with a wyvern/crossbow/gun/flame arrows. Bringing mate boosted dinosaurs is also a good idea.

Using powerful dinosaurs such as Rex, Therizinosaurus or Spino can quickly finish the Alpha Carnotaurus. If that is not an option, guerrilla tactics with a speedy mount is acceptable.

It also gives the best loot of the land alphas, so it is possible to kill it for high quality gear.Īvoid the extreme damage by waging a ranged battle. Avoid as much physical confrontation as possible. Use all of your resources available, including tribe members, powerful mounts and your strongest weapons. The Alpha Carnotaurus is an extremely deadly predator, but taking it down is worth the XP.

This section describes how to fight against the Alpha Carno. The Alpha Carno headbutts the target causing considerable knock-back. Their headbutt attack has a high knockback and can potentially push players and dinos off cliffs. Instead, they give very large quantities of Raw Prime Meat.Īlpha Carnotaurus are extremely aggressive and attack players and dinos on sight. They also frequently drop recipes, high-quality weapons and armor, and various other items.Īlpha Carnos do not drop normal raw meat when harvested. Alpha Creatures cannot be knocked out.ĭefeating an Alpha Carnotaurus grants a large amount of XP and gives all nearby players a Rex Bone Helmet. They pose a significant threat to any players who aren't fully prepared to encounter one. In addition to their own strength, they also buff the damage and resistance of any nearby wild carnivores. One should really not affect the other.The Alpha Carnotaurus is a bigger, stronger version of the Carnotaurus. Setting DinoCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier to a higher value would cause wild, unconscious dinos to eat faster, which would increase the taming speed, if I understand things correctly.

Ideally, DinoCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier would only affect owned dinosaurs, and I wonder if the developers meant for it to affect wild dinosaurs, because it makes little sense to allow us to boost the taming speed (via TamingSpeedMultiplier) and not have to feed our dinosaurs as often (via DinoCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier), while at the same time decreasing the taming speed via DinoCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier. However, it sounds like I need to increase the taming speed multiplier significantly in order to actually double the taming times if I'm also going to keep the food drain at a lower setting. I definitely don't want to change the food drain multiplier back to normal (not permanently, anyway), as we are quite happy with it as it is. Originally posted by joshmiller83:Yes it does. I was going to change the DinoCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier number back to 1, reboot the server, and see how it goes, but I figured I'd ask here before I did any testing of my own. I am wondering if this is because DinoCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier also affects unconscious dinos, which would lead to their food value (hunger) decreasing slower (on my server, dino food decreases at only 25% the normal rate, but I thought this affected only tamed dinos), which means they'd eat less often while unconscious and being tamed, which would lead to longer taming times.ĭoes that makes sense, and is it correct? The numbers I'm seeing (6+ hours to tame a level 16 bronto) seem to indicate that it is, and the tame times I'm seeing are much, much higher than those predicted using the taming calculator (which predicts 1 hour and 48 minutes to tame a level 16 bronto with a taming multiplier of 2 - see here: ). What I'm seeing, however, are tame times that seem very, very long. I have changed the following two settings.ĭinoCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier=0.25 (default is 1) I'm seeing weird behavior on my private server.
