"Guys, i figured it out. This apply only on newbonr babies, not on existing ones. So if you have juvenille lystro it will always 3 hours, no matter how you will change, but NEXT one will get timer with modifier. So i tryed 50.0 (to see difference) and my newborn dodo get cuddle timer 7 days lol. So i changed it on 0.1 and another newborn dodo get cuddle timer 20-25 mins. I also tested it on other dinos like raptors and even quetz babies - timers the same, 20-25 mins. Good luck!"
Now I'm sure Nash and Nails already knew that much, but I wasn't sure myself. After failing to produce productive members of dino-society countless times(9 times), I figured I'd give my results here so far in open-ended observations. I haven't seen a perfect solution yet.
I wish I had recorded some of the data over the past few days, all I have is reckoning.
-- Recent tests:
- 6 pteros(breeders, will be culled when their usefulness is up don't worry lol)
- 2 dimorphs
- 3 wolves(and 3 wolves a few days earlier. Wolves, and probably sabers, will always retain the signs of your child neglect at this point... These wolves are probably all destined to be killed/poofed o/c)
--- Results:
- Pteros fail to get 100% before their last care about 1/4 of the time( a death sentence, often maturing within moments of next care) and ...
- Wolves/dimorphs(probably sabers too) fail to get 100%.... 100% of the time... wolves end up @ 82% and dimorphs @ 80... so it's not the end of the world, just a testament to your sad caring skillz.
Wolves(probably kitties too) have an average of 1.5 hours left on care when they mature, and dimorphs have like 3 hrs left on care when they leave home and it's too late for you to undo emotional scarring left from your failure as a parent/caregiver.
-- Suggestions?
So far i know only of BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier as something that can affect.... interval, or care %. Making cares more frequent, however, would suck too. It would probably have to be cut in half to manage closer to 100% on most dinos that we care about(wolves/sabers/dimorphs) (dodos almost always fail to get even 1 care, but who cares?) Two to four hours is nice, half that would get prohibitive i think... even more than it is now.
Hopefully the devs see this, and take pity on unofficial servers with fast multipliers like ours. I QQ regularly on the suggestion forum. Hopefully they add a truncated care timer for the final care that will fit somewhere inside the remaining time, or something like that.(official servers take like 24 hrs to raise 1 baby ptero... so the randomness of care timers evens out, as it does with quetz for us, which basically can always get 100%. Official quetz take almost a week.... Gigas take... ... ... I don't wanna talk about it....)
That's all I have for now. I guess I'll start considering 82% wolf as 100% and 80% dimorph as 100% as well lol.

I left my 80-something Survivor on Ragnarok, can we transfer our toons to AB or just start afresh? Very Happy to be Baaack!
