ARK Tools — Frequently Asked Questions

How does the ARK taming calculator work?

Enter a creature and its level. The calculator uses the Crumplecorn taming formula to compute exactly how much food you need, how long taming takes, how many narcotics to stockpile, and the final taming effectiveness. All 323 ARK: Survival Ascended creatures are supported with per-creature food preferences extracted from the game files.

Is this ARK taming calculator accurate for ASA?

Yes. Values are pulled from ARK: Survival Ascended game files (not ARK: Survival Evolved). Taming effectiveness, torpor drain, food quality multipliers, and breeding times all match the current live game. Updated with each major patch.

Do you have a server config generator for ARK?

Yes, our Server Config Generator produces GameUserSettings.ini and Game.ini files with every option labeled and explained — taming speed, harvest multipliers, difficulty, per-map settings, engram overrides, and more. Paste it into your server files and restart.

Can I host an ARK server with XGamingServer?

Yes. XGamingServer offers instant ARK: Survival Ascended hosting on all 6 official maps with full mod support, automatic backups, DDoS protection, and 24/7 support. Plans scale from 10-slot up to dedicated boxes.

How many creatures are in ARK: Survival Ascended?

ARK: Survival Ascended has 323 tameable creatures across all official maps. The base Island map has around 100, while DLC maps like Ragnarok and Valguero add unique creatures such as Griffins, Ice Wyverns, and Deinonychus.

What's the difference between knockout and passive taming?

Knockout tames (most carnivores) require you to render the creature unconscious with tranq arrows/darts, then feed it while keeping torpor high with narcotics. Passive tames (Ichthyosaur, Otter, Lystrosaurus, etc.) require you to approach the creature and feed it from your last inventory slot.
