Tips & Strategies

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.

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.
Tame the lowest level one so you don't waste your eggs, no matter what level it is it will do the same thing
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.
Remember after taming they WILL EAT MEAT DONT WASTE ANYMORE EGGS ON THEM THEY'RE NOT LIKE TITANBOAS.
Tried using Magmasaurs eggs but they are classed as other eggs and only gave 1%.
It will run away from you itβs very fast but for some reason it runs to the water
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.
Encumber them so they don't move around
