Sinomacrops Egg & Breeding Calculator
The Sinomacrops reproduces by laying fertilized eggs after mating. Incubation temperature must stay between 38°C and 40°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 2 hours and 37 minutes.
Full maturation from baby to adult takes ~1 day and 13 hours (1x rate), progressing slowly. During the baby phase (0–10%), hand-feed it directly. From 10% onward (juvenile), it can eat from a Feeding Trough.
Offspring inherit parental stats and have a small chance to mutate, gaining +2 levels in a random stat. Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.
Maturation has three phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~222 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~15h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~19h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.
Imprint bonuses are significant: a fully imprinted Sinomacrops gains 30% extra damage and damage resistance with its imprinter mounted. You'll be asked to cuddle, walk, or feed specific kibble at regular intervals during maturation.

Use the raising calculator to plan food requirements for raising Sinomacrops babies through all three growth stages. Budget ~222 minutes for the Baby phase - this is when hand-feeding or Maewing nursing is mandatory.
Adjust the dino count to calculate food for multiple Sinomacrops babies at once - essential for batch breeding operations. Consider food spoilage when choosing what to feed: Kibble lasts days, while Raw Meat spoils in minutes.

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.
ARK: Survival Ascended features the Sinomacrops as a tamable, flying, unknown creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It falls within the Shoulder Pet classification.
Health-wise, the Sinomacrops sits at 110 base, making it glass-cannon fragile. Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it solid damage output. With 150 base Stamina, the Sinomacrops has moderate endurance. A base Weight of 80 means very limited carrying capacity.
Taming the Sinomacrops doesn't require unconsciousness. Instead, sneak up to it and hand-feed its preferred food. Its preferred food is Chitin.
After taming, the Sinomacrops is a versatile flyer useful for scouting, traversal, and light transport. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 38°C–40°C temperature window. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.28 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
