Gacha Egg & Breeding Calculator

Instead of laying eggs, the Gacha carries its young through a gestation period. Gestation takes approximately 8 hours at default rates.

After hatching or birth, the baby Gacha matures at a glacially slow pace - plan for a multi-day commitment, reaching adulthood in about 4 days and 19 hours at 1x maturation. Hand-feeding is required until 10% maturation. After that, a Feeding Trough handles the rest.

Mutations can add +2 levels to any stat and change colors. Stacking mutations across generations is the key to min-maxed breeding lines. Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.

The hatched dinosaur, now a baby, needs constant attention and food placed directly in its inventory to survive, or a nearby Maewing to take care of its needs.
Juvenile

46:17:46
The dinosaur reaches the juvenile stage, where it can now eat from a feeding trough, reducing the need for direct feeding.
Adolescent
50% - 100%
57:52:13
The dinosaur reaches the adolescent stage, becoming more independent and able to follow you while continuing to grow toward full maturity.

The Gacha's growth progresses through three stages: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~694 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~46h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~58h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.

Imprinting during maturation provides permanent stat bonuses. At 100% imprint, the Gacha gains 30% bonus damage and resistance when ridden by the imprinter. Keep various kibble types on hand, as imprint requests are randomized between cuddles, walks, and kibble feeding.

Planning a mass raise? The Gacha raising calculator breaks down food needs per phase so nothing goes to waste. The Baby phase (0–10%) takes ~694 minutes and is the most hands-on, requiring direct feeding or a Maewing.

Raising multiple Gacha simultaneously? Set the dino count and the calculator scales food requirements automatically. Match your food choice to your play schedule - longer spoil timers mean less babysitting.

During the Baby phase (0-10%), you must hand-feed or use a Maewing to nurse. From Juvenile (10%+), dinos can eat from a Feeding Trough on their own. Use Preserving Salt in troughs to double spoil times.

The Gacha is a tamable, minerals creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It falls within the Farmer classification.

Its base Stamina of 325 gives it average stamina. Melee starts at 100% - solid damage output that scales with level-ups. The Gacha has 750 base Health - quite durable. It carries 550 base Weight - massive inventory space.

As a tame, the Gacha combines solid harvesting capability with generous carrying capacity. It gives live birth after a gestation period, making breeding straightforward. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.62 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
