Tips & Strategies

I've noticed that oviraptors tend to glitch out of pens and Dino gates. So I started loading wood til they can't move. Won't help if your trying to get a fertilized egg but will allow there bonus egg production to work without losing them.
More Oviraptor Taming & KO Tips
Tame the lowest level one so you don't waste your eggs, no matter what level it is it will do the same thing
Remember after taming they WILL EAT MEAT DONT WASTE ANYMORE EGGS ON THEM THEY'RE NOT LIKE TITANBOAS.
So their easy to knock out, taming it.....not that easy, they eat eggs. The larger the egg, the more efficient it tames. You can tell the size by the weight of the egg. These guys are very useful, put them on wander in your base, and they'll collect all your creatures eggs.
Tried using Magmasaurs eggs but they are classed as other eggs and only gave 1%.
Oviraptors will only cover a set area, make sure you place it near the Dino's you intend on farming eggs from. Otherwise you may want to tame multiple ovi's for larger Dino pen's.
To tame a low level, I used a bola and just shot one dart (my rifle is a 125 damage) and is was down. It took me about 26 or so Dodo eggs and no more than 5 minutes. Itβs torpor is really slow, so I didnβt have to use any narcotics (I got a level 25 to use on my kibble farm). For the eggs, if you get a male Dodo and 3 or 4 female dodos, put it on mating and wondering in a small areaβ¦ they lay a lot of eggs. After that, remember to remove the eggs from its inventory, otherwise it will happily eat all of them!
I hope it helps and good luck! π
Encumber them so they don't move around
First off, if you're on official rates and you don't have access to a giga egg, get comfy cuz you're taming dodos for the next 2 hours. One male and as many females as you can. They have a chance of laying an egg every time they poop so even though you literally need like 200 for a mediocre Ovi, it still might be faster than waiting for another creature to pop out enough for you. Secondly, do find a way to trap it before you knock it, ANYWHERE that isn't near those dang ichthyornis birds. I had just knocked an oviraptor once when that bird swooped down and just like that I no longer had the amount of eggs I needed. It's happened with narcotics too. Just stay away from those avian beach bums. Third and last of all, the ovi will NOT hold all the eggs it needs to eat all at once. So you'll have to pay attention and keep adding eggs as it eats. This guy needs some serious babysitting while being tamed, but the buff is definitely worth it.
You'll read a lot online that says the weight of the egg determines the taming effectiveness gain. That is B.S.
An argent egg and a carno egg weigh exactly the same but the carno egg is worth about twice the tame percentage.
Best way to get an army
1: Get Atleast 10 female diloβs
2: farm them until you get Atleast 150 dilo eggs
3: use an animal that is fast and can carry them unless your avatar is fast and can carry lots of stuff
4: either trap them or use a bola to get them contained
5: use tranquilizer darts, arrows, bat, or anything to knock them out
6: feed them some dilo eggs βtakes about 17 Atleast for me
7: continue this prosess until ya got an army!
Hope this helps!
