VR Velonasaur
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 VR Velonasaur as a tamable, carnivore 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 440 base HP, the VR Velonasaur is decently sturdy. Its base Stamina of 325 gives it average stamina. Weight capacity starts at 325, giving it good carrying capacity.
To tame the VR Velonasaur, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. Regular Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.
As a tame, the VR Velonasaur fills a general-purpose role, adaptable to whatever your tribe currently needs. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 28°C–32°C temperature window. A wild VR Velonasaur is worth 1 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.32 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
