Unicorn
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 Unicorn as a tamable, herbivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It falls within the Variant classification.
Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it respectable melee power. At 240 base HP, the Unicorn is relatively fragile. Its base Stamina of 560 gives it respectable staying power. Weight capacity starts at 350, giving it generous inventory space.
The Unicorn is passively tamed - approach it carefully and feed it by hand without knocking it out. Its preferred food is Rockarrot.
Once tamed, the Unicorn earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. It gives live birth after a gestation period, making breeding straightforward. Killing a wild Unicorn yields 1 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.44 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
