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.
ARK: Survival Ascended features the Diplodocus as a tamable, herbivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It falls within the Misc classification.
Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it decent hitting power. The Diplodocus has 1,700 base Health - among the tougher creatures. With 550 base Stamina, the Diplodocus has solid stamina reserves. Weight capacity starts at 800, giving it excellent carrying capacity.
The Diplodocus is passively tamed - approach it carefully and feed it by hand without knocking it out. Its preferred food is Regular Kibble.
Once tamed, the Diplodocus combines solid harvesting capability with generous carrying capacity. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 26°C–29°C temperature window. A wild Diplodocus is worth 6 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.23 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
