Use the calculator results to plan your tame - they show the exact time, food quantity, and bonus levels for the Doedicurus based on your settings.
Required Narcotics
The table shows how many sedatives you'll need to keep the Doedicurus 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 Doedicurus bleeds 0.75 Torpor/s, so keep a close eye on the bar and sedate early.
Starve & Torpor Timers
Use the torpor and starve timers to track your Doedicurus tame in real time. Starve taming is recommended for valuable high-level Doedicurus: let the Food stat deplete first, then add food. This way nothing is wasted if something goes wrong.
