B+ Propagator
Breeding in ARK: Survival Ascended has always been a time-consuming dance of managing timers, keeping parents fed, and praying that your base's render distance doesn't cause a mating cycle to fail. The B+ Propagator shatters that traditional workflow. This advanced structure doesn't just streamline breeding; it fundamentally changes where and how you can breed your tames, allowing you to run a full-scale breeding operation without ever leaving your base's secure interior.
Instead of juggling wild dinos in open pens, the B+ Propagator lets you breed creatures while they remain safely tucked away inside Cryopods and Dino Depot Balls. This is a game-changer for both PvP players who need to keep their valuable breeders hidden and for PvE players who want to organize their genetic lines without building massive, lag-inducing pens.
Core Features of the B+ Propagator
This isn't just a "set and forget" structure. The B+ Propagator is packed with advanced toggles and functions that give you unprecedented control over the genetic outcomes of your tames. Here is a breakdown of what you can do once you have it powered up.
Pod Breeding and Force Breeding
The primary function is Pod Breeding, which allows dinos stored in Cryopods or Dino Depot Balls to initiate mating. This eliminates the need to throw your dinos out into the world for every breeding session. Additionally, the Force Breeding option bypasses the standard cooldown restrictions, allowing you to breed creatures that are normally non-breedable or that have specific mating requirements that are difficult to meet in a base environment.
Genetic Manipulation and Mutation Control
For players chasing perfect stats, the B+ Propagator is a powerhouse. The Mutation Control feature allows you to force specific mutations onto offspring, though this requires an additional Element cost. You can also use Gender Changing to instantly swap a dino's sex, ensuring you always have the right pairing for your breeding projects. The Max Stat Breeding option is particularly useful; it combines the highest stats from both parents, ensuring that the offspring is always superior to its predecessors. You can toggle this via the structure's radial menu.
Advanced Gene Inheritance and Filtering
The structure also supports Cross Breeding between different variants, such as Tek with Normal or Aberrant with Normal, opening up new possibilities for stat stacking. The Gene Inheritance system ensures that offspring reliably pick up the desired traits from their parents. Finally, the Filter Eggs feature acts as an advanced sorter, allowing you to set specific stat thresholds and only keep eggs that meet your exacting standards, saving you from inventory clutter.
Requirements and Setup for the B+ Propagator
Before you can start pumping out perfect babies, you need to ensure your infrastructure can support the B+ Propagator. The structure requires a steady supply of Power and Element to operate. The Element consumption rate is fully configurable via the mod's INI settings, allowing server admins to balance the cost against the immense benefits.
Here is a quick checklist for getting started:
- Place the B+ Propagator on a foundation that is connected to your base's electrical grid.
- Connect a power source (like a Generator or Wind Turbine) to the structure.
- Ensure you have a supply of Element in your inventory or linked storage to fuel the breeding operations.
- Place the dinos you wish to breed into Cryopods or Dino Depot Balls.
- Access the structure's inventory to insert the pods and initiate the breeding process.
Mod Compatibility and Installation
The B+ Propagator is designed to work seamlessly with the current builds of ARK: Survival Ascended. It is highly recommended to pair it with the Dino Depot mod for the full "ball breeding" experience. The mod is lightweight and does not interfere with other QoL mods, making it a staple for serious breeders.
