Tame smarter. Breed better. Plan exactly.
ARKTools runs the same math ARK: Survival Evolved uses - straight from the game files - for 66 of the most-tamed creatures. Food counts, taming time, narcotics, stat inheritance odds, mutation chances and kibble recipes, all verified against the community wiki.
Taming Calculator
Pick a creature, level and food: get exact food count, taming time, taming effectiveness, post-tame level, narcotics and tranq counts for server rates from 1x to 50x.

Enter both parents' stat levels and see the chance of the perfect baby: 55/45 stat inheritance, mutation probability with the 20/20 rule, and expected eggs till your target stats.
Crunch the oddsKibble Chart
All six kibble tiers with exact recipes, which eggs work, and which creature prefers which tier - plus a reverse lookup for every creature in our verified subset.

Wild vs tamed vs imprinted stat accounting: project any creature's stats through taming effectiveness, imprinting (+20%) and domestic level-ups before you spend a single point.
Project statsWhy trust these numbers?
Every calculator here is a port of the formulas ARK itself uses, using the species constants published by the ARK Smart Breeding project from extracted game files, cross-checked against the ARK Community Wiki. The formulas are unit-tested against hand-worked examples - for instance a level 150 Rex with Exceptional Kibble at 1x needs exactly 17 kibble, tames in ~58 minutes at 98.7% effectiveness and comes out at level 224.
Coverage is deliberately a curated subset - 66 of the most-tamed creatures - so that everything shown is verified rather than crowd-guessed. Special-mechanic tames (Wyvern milk, Rock Drake venom, Reaper gestation, Titanosaur, Carcharodontosaurus corpse-feeding) are included and clearly flagged instead of silently miscomputed.
