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.
Triceratops isn't used to harvest meat or hide from corpses.
Check the node yields above to see what it gathers from resource nodes.
The Triceratops is a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the Soaker category.
With 150 base Stamina, the Triceratops has average stamina. Melee starts at 100% - decent hitting power that scales with level-ups. Starting at 375 Health, it's decently sturdy. A base Weight of 365 means generous inventory space.
The Triceratops is a knockout tame: apply enough torpor to knock it out, then place food in its inventory. For best results, use Simple Kibble - it gives the highest taming efficiency.
Once tamed, the Triceratops is valued for its harvesting efficiency, collecting key resources faster than most tools. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 22°C–28°C temperature window. A wild Triceratops is worth 4 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.23 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
