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 Oviraptor as a tamable, carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It belongs to the Farmer category.
Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it decent hitting power. The Oviraptor has 140 base Health - glass-cannon fragile. Its base Stamina of 120 gives it tires quickly. A base Weight of 100 means modest carrying capacity.
To tame the Oviraptor, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. Extraordinary Dinosaur Egg is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.
After taming, the Oviraptor earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 26°C–30°C temperature window. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.6 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
