DMG
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 Mega Mek, a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a notable presence across multiple maps. Classified under the DMG group.
With 9,000 base Health, the Mega Mek is extraordinarily tanky. Dealing 100% base Melee Damage, the Mega Mek brings solid damage output to the table. Its base Stamina of 1000 gives it outstanding staying power. It carries 9001 base Weight - excellent carrying capacity.
Taming the Mega Mek requires rendering it unconscious first - use Tranq Arrows, Darts, or Shocking Tranq Darts to apply torpor. Feed it Element Dust for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.
After taming, the Mega Mek is a practical workhorse - it can both gather and haul resources efficiently. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0 Element plus 0 Element per level.
