Gestation timer way off

[jwvanderbeck]

I bred a pair of Sabertooths just a few minutes ago, my first time actually finally using this for breeding rather than just stat tracking.

Smart Breeder seems to think the gestation period is going to last over 4 hours, when in fact it is only around 24 minutes according to the in game HUD.

My settings should be correct. I am playing single player (Single Player is enabled in settings) and dragged the INI file into Smart Breeder, and it did set my other values correct including things like my shortened mating interval and faster tame speed.

I looked in my files manually and couldn't find a setting for Gestation time, but thinking maybe it uses the Egg Hatching time? Which is unchanged and left at 1.0

Maturation is off as well. Must be a setting somewhere that isn't right but I'm not sure what to look for :(

Hi, thanks for the report, that's a bug. It will be fixed in the next release.

[jwvanderbeck]

Ah ok, so it is known? Is it a bug in the code or just a matter of the data in values.json being incorrect? Is there a place to find the correct values or is it done through trial and error?

[cadon]

It is known since you reported it :)
It's a bug in the code, the data in the values.json is correct, but not handled correctly by the program. I plan to release the next version with the fix in the next few hours.

[jwvanderbeck]

Excellent :) Thanks for the great program! Normally I'd try to help out with fixes like this in a PR but I don't know enough about how Ark works to try and assist. Glad its an easy fix!

[cadon]

Fix is released. Can you check if the times are correct now?

[jwvanderbeck]

Sure thing. Will test it now.

[jwvanderbeck]

Not exact but much closer, and close enough IMHO.

Smart Breeder gave a gestation time of just under 25 minutes versus in game of just under 27 minutes.

EDIT: Some more accurate numbers here.
The values are off by exactly 2m44s. Nothing to write home about, and close enough for me but I wanted to give you the exact numbers in case you wanted them.

Smart Breeder: 25m03s
Ark: 27m47s

[jwvanderbeck]

Will comment on maturation time once I get there

[cadon]

Interesting, I'll check what could cause that offset. Thanks for the numbers.

[jwvanderbeck]

Baby times:
Smart Breeder: 7m56s
Ark: 8m05s

[jwvanderbeck]

Ok just to round it out and summarize, here are all the final numbers:

(SB = Smart Breeder)

Gestation
SB : 25m03s
Ark: 27m47s

Maturation
SB: 7m56s Baby + 1h19m27s, Total 1h44m30s
Ark: 8m05s Baby + 1h20m21s, Total 1h28m26s
