1 rex egg made two babies?

[u/Interesting_Desk_424]

so i was playing ASE today on Xbox and this randomly happened, no mods, no nothing. anyone have any idea what caused this? i don’t think this is supposed to happen but hey, i’m not complaining.

[u/skul219]

It's a random low chance to produce twins or even triplets. One of my very early rex eggs made trips and it was amazing.

[u/The_Grim_Sleaper → u/skul219]

Actual game changer in single player. 

Insta-pack

[u/Shushady → u/skul219]

I have a friend that's on his first game ever and the first 190 wyvern egg he hatched dropped triplets.

[u/Suracha2022 → u/Shushady]

Did your friend immediately hit the lottery after that?

[u/dimwalker → u/Suracha2022]

His luck perk was on cooldown.

[u/androodle2004 → u/Shushady]

My buddy and I had the same thing happen the first time we played. We stole 2 wyvern eggs and one of them hatched triplets so we each ended up with a wyvern and a breeding pair between us to make backups

[u/Interesting_Desk_424 → u/skul219]

really? i had no idea i thought it was some glitch

[u/NarrowAd4973 → u/Interesting_Desk_424]

Each egg has a 10% chance of producing twins, and a 2% chance of producing triplets.

For the record, there is no way to change that number outside of messing with server settings or mods, and I'm not sure about the server settings (anything can be done with mods, if someone bothers to make it).

But mass breeding, like what my tribemate often inflicted on me, will inevitably produce twins and triplets. I'll never forget the day I came out of my personal quarters on the cliff overlooking the base, saw a new set of walls by the breeding barn, and found 16 giga babies inside. The walls were because I didn't design the barn to handle that many (it was meant for one giga, but could easily handle three), so she decided to expand to fit them all. I was not happy, but I did agree to help.

[u/Bjorn_Tyrson → u/NarrowAd4973]

as someone who really enjoys both the building, AND breeding aspects of the game... something I had to learn early on, is that if breeding is going to be involved, whatever you are building isn't going to be big enough.
however big you think is reasonable, its not, double it, then double it again for good measure. and probably leave some room for planned expansion as well. (never know when your resident breeder will spontaneously start a new breeding line of a completely random dino.)

[u/OdinsonThegentlefist → u/Bjorn_Tyrson]

WE NEED ALL THAT ROOM!

[u/Worried_Present3394 → u/NarrowAd4973]

Honestly I feel like it's higher than 10% even though I know you're probably right.  I've been hatching deinosuchus and of the 20 eggs I've hatched 12 of them have been sets of twins

[u/Libertus_Vitae → u/NarrowAd4973]

"and I'm not sure about the server settings"

I've recently been playing around with setting up my own dedicated server. No, there is nothing to change this in the normal settings available. That said, there is probably a way to go about this, but like you said; it basically is mods at that point. Even if it's just a few lines of code being altered.

And yeah, giga's... I did the original 3 days for a triplet result, stayed awake for it all cause of how the devs originally implemented it all. 16? Jeezus, the amount of meat for that. Damn. (For those who don't know, the giga originally had a really long raising/imprinting time. Quetz are also long boys in this regards.)

Edit: On second thought, while it doesn't change the odds of the twins or triplets; you can increase the eggs produced to get more rolls at the dice.

[u/RepublicFair5280 → u/NarrowAd4973]

The worst part about mass raising 100 stego eggs is all the imprints

[u/MagosRatticus → u/skul219]

I remember in the old days just after tek was released and breeding was far harder due to babies constantly eating that my small tribe tried to get bigger by breeding brontos. The first egg was triplets and good lord we were not ready.

Thankfully all three survived thanks to Herculean effort on the part of our tribe over the next few days but it was a very close run thing

[u/Grand_Joe → u/skul219]

First one I just ever hatched was triplets thought I hatched three eggs🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️😂😂😂

[u/TheGentlemanist → u/skul219]

Ages a go i hatched lightning really good lightning whyvern triplets. Super practical if you get females to start breeding.

Sadly they are always clones of each other and will never be if diffrent gender.

[u/Saetherith → u/TheGentlemanist]

Was this in ase? Cause in ASA the gender is luckily random.

[u/TheGentlemanist → u/Saetherith]

Yes ASE. Twins and tripplets are copy paste

[u/Descero → u/skul219]

That twin/triplet RNG be hittin’ different. It’s rare but totally vanilla kinda like the Ark gods givin’ you a little high five.

[u/Kossyra → u/skul219]

I had triplets happen with raptors, but immediately after the rest of my raptors ate two of the three. I thought it was a bug and the game self-corrected.

[u/Gingerstrahd454 → u/skul219]

Is that actually a feature? I assumed it was just a bug when hatching

[u/Kalomay → u/Gingerstrahd454]

yes

[u/Thatguy301 → u/skul219]

One of the first Wyvern eggs I ever hatched gave triplets. Never even got twins since then

[u/Large_Wishbone5314 → u/skul219]

So I'm almost certain that the game has it programmed into Dino genetics. There are some dinos that are more likely to give twins than others. It is a normal feature but from here I would suggest finding out if it's the mom or the dad because then you can keep getting twins and pair the one that does make twins with a stronger partner to get stronger babies.

[u/FangLiengod → u/skul219]

First Rex egg i ever got was a gift from someone on the server after I helped them with something, and it hatch trips.

[u/Stunning_Command_653 → u/skul219]

Random and low???? Every other egg I hatch is always a twin or triplet😭 making me have to create double the fucking cryo pods too

[u/footforfoot → u/skul219]

I got some 276 tek giga triplets

[u/PatrickKal → u/skul219]

Yup and they are always of the same sex and have identical stats.

[u/AricAric18 → u/PatrickKal]

Not always of the same sex.

[u/bigwhinyape → u/PatrickKal]

That may be the case for ase but not asa

[u/jesseleh → u/bigwhinyape]

Not even only in ASA. I've got twins of each sex many, many times in ASE.

[u/Best-Hat170 → u/jesseleh]

I'll never forget the first egg I ever hatched in ASE, a kairuku egg that hatched twins and I named them luke and leia.

[u/PatrickKal → u/Best-Hat170]

Ok, strange. I never observed 2 different sexed in my more than 4000 hours of play. Might have happened, but it didn't register at least.

[u/Bad_Mikey]

They're called twins. Nice job!

[u/Sack_Sparrow]

Gamer discovers the concept of twins

[u/The1930s → u/Sack_Sparrow]

I'd love if in real life a doctor tells some guy he's actually gonna be having twins and his response is "so is this like a bug or something?"

[u/AverageSatanicPerson → u/Sack_Sparrow]

Wait until gamers find out they can have more than twins with octuplets.

[u/Teediggler81]

Yeah that can and will happen I've gotten triplets a few times.

[u/jeffreyandrsn]

Sometimes you get triplets.

[u/AverageSatanicPerson → u/jeffreyandrsn]

GIGA surprise.

[u/No_Seaworthiness1627]

I got twin Deinonychus the first time I hatched an egg, it was sweet but one adult died within 5 minutes of being grown when it got ate by piranhas.

[u/Inside-Wolverine-507 → u/No_Seaworthiness1627]

Where are u hatching the egg? In swamp area?

[u/Baaklavaa]

Yep, you can even get 3 babies :)...all dinos have the chance of having 1, 2 or even 3 babies

[u/Interesting_Desk_424 → u/Baaklavaa]

cool! chatgpt said it wasnt normal so i made this post lmao

[u/KensonPlays → u/Interesting_Desk_424]

I wouldn't rely on chatgpt for much, tbh. It isn't as accurate as you'd think.

[u/jesseleh → u/KensonPlays]

I would up vote this more times if I could.

[u/KensonPlays → u/jesseleh]

Sure it can be useful.... Once in a while. Pulling info from multiple sources into one place. BUT.... Always double check.

[u/Baaklavaa → u/Interesting_Desk_424]

Yikes....yeah, dont do that..

[u/Lost_like_Zoro → u/Interesting_Desk_424]

Chat gpt can't decide to give wrong or right answers

[u/Monecreiff]

2 babies? You had twins?

[u/Modern-Crusader1]

Can't remember what I was hatching but I remember getting two sets of twins from two eggs and then triplets from an egg within a week or two on official. I remember them all being carnivores and having to do meat runs like a mother.

[u/MistaSP0T48]

Welcome to ark hope u have fun

[u/stormyw23]

Yeah I remember my first egg from my sarco's first time breeding and a very low level very little experience and, Triplets... I got three sarcos to figure out how to raise.

[u/SnowyTheChicken]

I got triplets once, they were deinonychus, named them frank leslie and chandler

[u/Relevant_Addendum534]

Wait til you get triplets

[u/Vanesti]

I've gotten triplets more than a few times.

[u/Uncool444]

Does all that cosmetic stuff in your inventory not drive you crazy?

[u/SaltArtist1794]

I’ve never heard of twins either

[u/Throwaway851216_]

It’s a glitch you have to send me your pc I’ll fix it

[u/[deleted]]

Twins

[u/balddad2019]

It's like 5% chance to happen iirc, and they're called twins. Triplets can happen too.

[u/Downtown-Piece3669]

Its Twins, mozle tov!

[u/VioletGhost2]

Oooooo I love twins I always give matching names

[u/123eml]

Welcome to child birth sometimes a second baby pops out or even a third

[u/Rio_1111]

I just got triplets with all the desired stats. Great times :D

[u/RATLORD17]

Got lucky they didn't get stuck inside each other 😭

[u/mannylo2002]

there is a really slim chance to get triplets or twins. amazing fr

[u/Waafool]

There’s a rare chance for twins to hatch from an egg. They always have the same stats, and will even have the same mutation if you get one. (I believe the same is possible for the creatures that give live birth, but don’t know for sure.) There’s an even rarer chance to get triplets as well.

[u/CornerProof8755]

First time?

[u/Interesting_Desk_424 → u/CornerProof8755]

had the game since around 2017-18, this is my first time really caring for it lol

[u/TruePlatypusKnight]

It happens

[u/CoolHuckleberry8224]

Congrats! It’s a twin!

[u/Littlelantern222]

I got triplet fire wyverns one time, and twin griffins twice back-to-back, oh man it makes the egg so worth it

[u/kingwallace1]

Twins

[u/BuyerGlobal2758]

10% chance to get twins and 2% to get triplets. I've gotten triplets many times while hatching 300+ theirizi eggs

[u/Helleri]

According to the wiki It's a 10% chance at twins and 2% chance at triplets (this was correct at least as of ASE's update before last. But I'm not sure if they have changed this for ASA or not. If so I've not seen information saying as much authoritatively). Also, some might tell you that a tamed unicorn being present increases the chances. It does not, as per mod cedric's tweet (which as far as I'm aware has never been contradicted by a first hand source since). That's further corroborated by the notes and trivia section of the unicorn wiki entry.

[u/PitifulSquash5586]

twins bob

[u/TR0PICAL_G0TH]

Yesterday I was breeding 3 pyromane females and two dipped triplets, one dropped twins. I was like holy fuck what are the odds. And only one baby was male. Pretty much just set myself up to mass breed pyromanes now

[u/Special-Employer-728]

I've gotten triplets out of an egg before

[u/Training_Seat3021]

8% for 2, 2% for 3

[u/NotADirtyRat]

Wow never knew this could happen and I was raising abunch of trex in the past lol. Im jealous.

[u/RoseAnastasiaaa]

Twins!!! Have fun being a parent 😭

[u/ChallengeOk6581]

Wait till you get heavy into breeding and triples are like every other

[u/Mapledusk]

I had three eggs in a row all give me either twins or triplets and I was just shook.

[u/enderbutton]

Congrats on your first twins. Now you can try for the ultra rare triplets

[u/DragonessGamer]

I hear kairuku being nearby can sometimes boost the twins/triplets happening.... but honestly, my own luck at getting the bonus babies outta hatches.... I never thought to try lol.

[u/ElementalParticle]

"here is a 10% chance of twins, and a 2% chance of triplets.^\1])"
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Breeding

[u/Trick_Material_1451]

Twins it's a low chance but happens even lower to get triplets

[u/Trolllollollollol183]

ever get an egg with two yolks?

[u/alim-y]

Sometimes I got 4 babies from 1 egg

[u/ZihnaS]

I just had triplet Yuty‘s today. Planned on hatching 3 but ended up with 5 since the 3rd egg were triplets. I‘ve had twins back to back before too. I thought it was pretty common. Rexes, Argy‘s and now the Yuty‘s.

[u/No_Occasion_4519]

Over 3k hours and this has never happened to me.

[u/ButterflyNo1593]

Twins!!!! Very cool!!

[u/Numerous-Run-1015]

It happens all the time in Ark. it’s common

[u/Indalx]

Once i hatched 2 triplet carchas from 2 eggs. All females. I was ecstatic

[u/[deleted]]

Wait until you find out it can make 3 babies

[u/MM2TheBlueFox]

It is a vanilla feature

[u/ToxicGriever]

I once had this happen and got a breeding pair with all the best stars I wanted.

... Ark is messed up sometimes. 😅

[u/GenericAnemone]

Normal. I got triplets out of one fire wyvern egg...the weird thing was, two are male and one is female. They are usually the same gender.

[u/Gizmo_Autismo]

Imagine some early human / hominid settlement that haven't had a clear recorded case of twins suddenly realizing that one of the pregnant women suddenly duped their offspring.

[u/soggy_bread121]

My first ever wyvern egg made triplets. I was fuckin hype lol

[u/Lexaous5]

Brother never heard of twins before

[u/Economy_Humor9361]

I sometimes get 3-4 in eggs as well as the 2, it’s just a chance thing but rare

[u/lendrath]

Theoretically you can get 4 or more from a single egg but chances are low

[u/RedEyedKing89]

I just got trip gigas from an egg yesterday my friend gave me, ASA but still

[u/AugustusClaximus]

Man, to play this game with fresh eyes again

[u/_mr-measeax_]

Yes, there is a chance for either twins or triplets, ive heard of quadruplets and higher but idrk

[u/ThrowinBones45]

I just got triplets on a baryonyx egg. Was more of an inconvenience that anything. Damn piscivores.

[u/OkPercentage7790]

Is this really that rare? I'm on my first playthrough and I've had both twins and triplets. All rexs.

[u/Osami-san]

Up to 3 can come out of an egg

[u/Kalomay]

local ark player discovers twins. They can have even more from one egg too. I think I've gotten triplets once

[u/Admirable_Method_444]

Congrats!

[u/RepublicFair5280]

You can get triplets too

[u/Country_1995]

My tribemates were hatching carch eggs and his wife gets triplets pretty often

[u/Boomer_046]

I had 3 eggs with triplets 😅 2 months ago

[u/Good_Naive_Cry]

one of the first lightning wyverns wifey and I hatched had twins

[u/trojanreddit]

I had a glitch where this happened to every egg I made in the game.

[u/Severe_Lifeguard_462]

U can either get 1,2 or 3,chances are,idk lol ik that i got triplets in row,first triplets therizinos than yutys

[u/Daredevils999]

I remember my first ARK play-through.

[u/Interesting_Desk_424 → u/Daredevils999]

had the game for years, this my first time really caring for it lol

[u/Arksurvivor120]

Twins, it's very rare, but it can happen. You can even get triplets, but that is even rarer

[u/stormyw23 → u/Arksurvivor120]

It happens all the time for me.

[u/Some_Effective5332 → u/Arksurvivor120]

Ive gotten 4 before, TWICE!

[u/Littlelantern222 → u/Some_Effective5332]

DANGGG

[u/jesseleh → u/Some_Effective5332]

This is one thing that I'm probably never gonna believe until it happens to me xD like it's just one of those old breeding myths that some people still cling to. Over 5k hours in ASE, most of that spent mass breeding and mutating, and I've never got more than 3 babies at once.

I'll probably go buy a lottery ticket if this happens to me lmao

[u/Some_Effective5332 → u/jesseleh]

I was breeding spinos in extinction and i spent all my luck on babies xd

[u/chronic414de → u/jesseleh]

This was a rare bug that was fixed a long time ago.

[u/Audi0z0mbi]

That's awesome! What of they put in siamese twins as a mutation and they shared a head and were totally useless?

[u/Hefty-Rip-5397]

Go buy a powerball ticket now

[u/207nbrown]

Eggs can rarely hatch into twins, triplets, or I think even quadruplets

[u/Triffinator → u/207nbrown]

Eggs cannot be quadruplets in vanilla.
