ARK Taming Calculator

Always know how much resources you need by calculating them with the ARK: Survival Evolved taming calculator. You can click on the different types of food to have them filled up to their maximum amount. If you want to use multiple types of food, it is possible to select your primary type (e.g. Kibble) and then fill in quantities of other foods you will use / have used. The calculator will then automatically decrease the amount of primary food needed.

This taming calculator, amongst other features, is also included in the Survive ARK Companion app! You can download it on Google Play here (Android), or get it in the App Store here (iOS)!

Last updated on: December 2017 – v275

  • ARK: Abberation creatures are now available! The website and the Android and iOS app have been updated with the Bulbdog, Featherlight, Glowtail, Karkinos, Ravager, Reaper, Rock Drake, Roll Rat and Shinehorn!

Important: The taming calculator now makes use of the new base rates. For official servers this means that you can keep the taming multiplier at 1x (or 1.5x when the Evolution event is active)!

Additional knockout info
The bow does a little bit of instant torpor damage and the rest of the torpor is added over the next 4 seconds. This means that for the best torpor-to-damage ratio, you need to wait 5 seconds between shots. However, since torpor stacks, you can also fire arrows as quickly as you can. This is especially useful for creatures with high torpor regeneration or high health.
