VR Stegosaurus Taming Calculator

Taming the VR Stegosaurus requires applying enough torpor to knock it out. Use tranquilizer projectiles, then place food in its inventory. The VR Stegosaurus loses Torpor at 0.1 per second while unconscious - stay on top of narcotics.

Knockout Weapons

Use the knockout chart to see exactly how many Tranq Arrows, Darts, or other torpor weapons it takes to down the VR Stegosaurus. Space your shots to let torpor accumulate - rapid firing risks killing it before knockout.

To simplify the knockout, immobilize the VR Stegosaurus first with Chain Bola or Bear Trap. Alternatively, use a Procoptodon to airlift it into a pre-built trap.

Required Narcotics

Use the narcotic calculator to determine exactly how many Narcotics, Bio Toxin, or Narcoberries you need for the VR Stegosaurus. Your options are Narcotics (40 Torpor), Bio Toxin (80 Torpor, best efficiency), or Narcoberries (7.5 Torpor, cheapest but slowest). With Torpor draining at 0.1/s, don't wait until the bar is nearly empty to apply narcotics.

Starve & Torpor Timers

The real-time timers below help you monitor Torpor drain and Food depletion during the tame. The torpor timer alerts you when narcotics are needed. The starve timer tracks Food depletion for starve-taming, where you let the food bar drop before placing all food at once.
