Step 1 - Find Your Best Stats

Look through all of your dinos and find the best stats you have.

The only stats most people care about are:

❤️ Health

⚡ Stamina

⚖️ Weight

💪 Melee

Food and Oxygen are usually ignored.

Movement speed cannot be mutated.

Step 2 - Breed Them Together

Example:

Male

Health: Best

Melee: Best

Female

Stamina: Best

Weight: Best

Breed them together.

The babies will get a mix of Mum's and Dad's stats.

Keep breeding until you hatch a baby that has all four of the good stats.

Don't worry if it takes a while. That's completely normal.

Step 3 - Make a Matching Pair

Now breed until you have:

1 Male with all the good stats.

1 Female with all the same good stats.

These are now your starting breeders.

IMPORTANT: Don't level these dinos. Ever.

Leave them exactly as they hatched so it's easy to see when a mutation happens later.

💡 Think of these two as your "master copies". Everything you breed from now on comes from them. They will be known as Clean Male and Clean Female throughout this guide.

💡 Use the Clean Male and Clean Female to create a bunch of clean females. You do not want any mutations on these females. A setup that I have used for a long time looks like this. 15 females is a good starting number.
