Acrocanthosaurus
Calculate expected resource yield per node for any dino. Select a node type and harvester.
Each hit on a node generates resource drops. The game randomly picks a resource from the loot table for each drop. Higher melee depletes the node faster, which can reduce total drops. The "best" melee is where you get the most drops.
Compare dino harvest yields from creature corpses. Select a corpse and up to 3 harvesters to compare.
Each hit on a corpse generates resource drops based on damage dealt. The game randomly picks a resource from the corpse's loot table for each drop. Higher melee depletes the corpse faster, which can reduce total drops. All dinos get the same resource distribution from a given corpse — the difference is total drops from base damage.
Found throughout the ARKs, the Acrocanthosaurus is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the DMG category.
Its base Stamina of 400 gives it solid stamina reserves. With 100% base Melee Damage, the Acrocanthosaurus has decent hitting power. With 1,300 base Health, the Acrocanthosaurus is among the tougher creatures. A base Weight of 600 means excellent carrying capacity.
You'll need to knock the Acrocanthosaurus unconscious before taming it. Tranquilizers are the standard approach. For best results, use Exceptional Kibble - it gives the highest taming efficiency.
Once tamed, the Acrocanthosaurus combines solid harvesting capability with generous carrying capacity. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 43°C and 44°C. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0 Element plus 0 Element per level.
