A tool designed for use with the video game ARK: Survival Evolved helps players determine the necessary resources and steps for cloning creatures within the game. This typically involves calculating the required food, the appropriate kibble type, and the incubation time for eggs. An example application would be determining the precise amount of mutton and other ingredients needed to create kibble for efficiently cloning a Rex.
Streamlining the complex breeding mechanics within the game, these tools provide significant advantages to players. They remove the need for tedious manual calculations or searching through wikis, saving time and reducing the risk of errors. This allows players to focus on strategic gameplay and creature development. Historically, players relied on community-created spreadsheets and guides, but dedicated tools have evolved to offer more streamlined and accurate information, reflecting changes and updates to the game’s mechanics over time.
