# Ark Server Settings Guide

Breeding and Mating

Setting: BabyCuddleGracePeriodMultiplier=1.0 Location: Game.ini Description: Setting the value higher increases the time before a baby dino loses imprinting quality after a care session.

Setting: BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier=1.0 Location: Game.ini Description: Setting the value lower decreases the time baby dinos want to cuddle. The default 1.0 value gives an 8-hour interval between cuddles. If BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier= is at a higher value, BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier= should have a much lower value to achieve 100% imprinting quality on all dinos, provided every cuddle is applied.

| Example: BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=5 and BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier=0.25 allow 100% imprinting quality on all dinos with 2-hour interval cuddles.

Setting: BabyCuddleLoseImprintQualitySpeedMultiplier=1.0 Location: Game.ini Description: Setting the value lower decreases the speed for a baby dino to lose imprinting quality after the grace period of not cuddling.

Setting: BabyFoodConsumptionSpeedMultiplier=1.0 Location: Game.ini Description: Setting the value lower makes babies eat slower.

Setting: BabyImprintAmountMultiplier=1.0 Location: Game.ini Description: Setting the value higher increases the imprinting quality percentage generated per cuddle.

| Example: If 1.0 gives 10% imprinting quality, setting this to 2.0 gives 20% imprinting quality.

Setting: BabyMatureSpeedMulti
