ARK: Survival Ascended Imprint Calculator
Plan a perfect 100% imprint on any of 272 breedable ARK: Survival Ascended creatures. Set BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier, BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier, and BabyImprintingStatScaleMultiplierand the calculator shows how many cuddles you need, when each one is due, and whether your final imprint caps below 100%. Source: ark.wiki.gg/Imprinting (April 2026).
The Imprint Formula
cuddleInterval = 8h × BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier totalCuddles = floor(maturationTime / cuddleInterval) imprintPerCare = (100% / totalCuddles) × BabyImprintingStatScaleMultiplier
The floor()rounds DOWN, which is why some creatures naturally cap below 100% (the cuddle interval doesn't evenly divide the maturation window). Raise the imprint stat scale slightly above 1× to top up the last cuddle and hit a full 100%.
