Use the calculator results to plan your tame - they show the exact time, food quantity, and bonus levels for the Aberrant Iguanodon based on your settings.
The table shows how many sedatives you'll need to keep the Aberrant Iguanodon unconscious through the full taming duration. Your options are Narcotics (40 Torpor), Bio Toxin (80 Torpor, best efficiency), or Narcoberries (7.5 Torpor, cheapest but slowest). The Aberrant Iguanodon bleeds 0.1 Torpor/s, so keep a close eye on the bar and sedate early.
Use the torpor and starve timers to track your Aberrant Iguanodon tame in real time. Torpor monitoring prevents premature wakeups. The starve timer is for the starve-tame method - let Food drop, then load all kibble at once to avoid waste.
Estimated time until optimal feeding point: 12m 48s
Food to consume through starvation: 1279
Target food level: 5021
