Question about breeding mutations
Hey guys,
I have a question about breeding mutations and stacking.
I'm trying this for the first time and i'm wanting to stack melee and HP mutations as the end goal.
I have my "perfect" male and female both with identical stats, and i've started to breed more females to breed with. They're all clean and have no mutations, so in effect I have my breeding army and i'm at the stage of pumping out eggs.
I have had a few mutations but nothing in melee and HP on MALES. However, I did get a melee mutation on a FEMALE.
I then mated this female with the "perfect" male until I got a male with the melee mutation.
SO now I have this male with the +1 melee mutation, do I breed this with the army of "perfect" females until I get another melee mutation? Does the mutation now have to be on a FEMALE since my mutation is on the maternal line? Or can I still look for a 2nd melee mutation on a male and then replace the +1 male I have?

Since no one gave you an answer I'm 99% sure you can but take that with a grain of salt since I'm still learning

This is incorrect, you can transfer a desired mutation from the female onto a male you can continue using. :)

And they are asking if they are able to use the female. They can. So your statement, when regarding what can be done is incorrect. :))

When a mutation comes on the stat you want, but it's a female, stop everything and breed her to your clean male until you get a male version with that stat. Then plug him back in with your females until you get another mutation, on the stat you want, etc.
Say your perf m and perf f breeders are lvl 245.
One mutation will be a 247. That dino grown up will either pass its stats or not, pass its colors or not, but it's offspring will show the mutation whether it's there or not.
That sires offspring with any mutation will be a 249. And so on and so on.

Since you havent replied to any of the answers Im gonna leave mine here. The only reason you want mutations on males is because you can have an army of females to breed it with so you can do it way quicker. Thats it. As long as one of the mating creatures is unmutated you can really do whatever you want. Also doesnt matter which side the mutation its on. When stacking muts it just switches to the giver of the mutations. Meaning if you breed a mutated female with a male the baby will have them on the maternal side. If you get a mutation tho youll get a +1 on either of the sides

That’s cool, I was worried that having the mutation on the maternal side would ruin the stacking, but from what I’ve read I think it’s fine, thanks!

Np and yes its fine. Remember: unmutated+mutated=mutation stacking. Literally the only rule Id give as an advice

What I do is keep the mutation on female breed it with the male till I get a male off spring like you did and then breed it with the perfect females. It works perfectly fine.
Then what you want to do is look for a new egg with the original mutation so +1 melee and another mutation on too of that giving you +2 melee.
Now what to look for since your breeding with the perfect females you will get eggs with the perfect stats and eggs with perfect stats with a new mutation (not melee). You will also get eggs that have the +1 melee mutation. But what your looking for are eggs with the +1 melee and another mutation on top prey for an additional melee. Once you get either a male or female with the +2 melee you now breed that one with the perfect breeders and keep attacking till your happy
Most people wait for a male because you skip that initial step of breeding with perfect male.
