Taming Results
Use the calculator results to plan your tame - they show the exact time, food quantity, and bonus levels for the Aberrant Megalosaurus based on your settings.
Required Narcotics
Use the narcotic calculator to determine exactly how many Narcotics, Bio Toxin, or Narcoberries you need for the Aberrant Megalosaurus. Your options are Narcotics (40 Torpor), Bio Toxin (80 Torpor, best efficiency), or Narcoberries (7.5 Torpor, cheapest but slowest). With Torpor draining at 0.1/s, don't wait until the bar is nearly empty to apply narcotics.
