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.
The Kentrosaurus is a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It falls within the Misc classification.
Melee starts at 100% - solid damage output that scales with level-ups. Starting at 650 Health, it's solidly tanky. With 300 base Stamina, the Kentrosaurus has decent staying power. It carries 500 base Weight - excellent carrying capacity.
The Kentrosaurus is a knockout tame: apply enough torpor to knock it out, then place food in its inventory. Feed it Regular Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.
After taming, the Kentrosaurus earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 24°C–30°C temperature window. Killing a wild Kentrosaurus yields 5 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.37 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
