A Raptor and his offspring

Breeding is a feature of ARK: Survival Evolved that allows players to brood improved creatures through Eggs with not-mammals and gestation with mammals. Eggs do not have an owner, so it'south possible to steal eggs laid by other survivors' creatures.

Newborn creatures are but claimed (imprinted on) and practise not crave the usual taming processes associated with wild creatures. Anyone tin claim a newborn. This must exist washed promptly, along with feeding it, as babies can die quickly from hunger.

Breeding Mechanics [ ]

Preparing Mating [ ]

The first step of breeding is having two opposite sex creatures of the same species for mating. Original, Tek, Aberrant, X, and R variants of creatures count every bit separate species, and as such, cannot be cantankerous-bred. They must be bred with their own variant. Nigh creatures can be bred; those few that cannot are listed at the lesser of this article. See Sterile Creatures for more information.

Always be prepared for having more than than one baby to be born upon incubation/gestation completion. There is a 10% risk of twins, and a 2% gamble of triplets.^[ane]

Information technology has been confirmed that there is no creature in the game capable of affecting chances of mutations, twins and triplets.^[ii]

Mating Requirements [ ]

For creatures to successfully mate, they must be:

• of aforementioned species
• of opposite sexual activity (one male and one female)
• within mating range of each other
• wandering or ready to mate (Enable Wandering or Enable Mating must exist enabled on both creatures)
• non post-obit anything (Disable Following on both creatures)
• unburdened (the creatures must not be conveying then much weight they are unable to move)
• non mounted
• not spayed/neutered
• not having a mating cooldown (one time mated females take a mating cooldown interval before they tin mate again, the cooldown can also be triggered when transferring the creature betwixt Arks)

Mating Range While Wandering [ ]

If using the Enable Wandering method to allow for mating, then steps demand to be taken to maintain the mating range, which varies between species and is loosely based on the size of the developed creature. If the mating pair wander outside the mating range, and then mating is stopped and mating progress is reset.

Building a pen of a suitably small size to keep the wandering creatures within mating range of each other is one common approach.

You tin also apply the "Whistle Stop (All)" control ( U on PC). This halts all creatures within the expanse to end moving, even ones that are enabled to wander. It's best to use the whistle every time the brute starts to movement again, or to foreclose the creatures from ever moving, whistle constantly. While this method doesn't demand a pen, information technology does need y'all or a tribe member to stay at that place and constantly whistle. This may be more helpful if ane survivor is constantly whistling non to move, and another survivor enables the creatures nearby to wander. In this way, you can achieve mass convenance in an surface area without ever edifice a pen, or moving creatures.

To initiate breeding of a pair by yourself, whistle both creatures to follow you, then enable wandering. And so, disable following on both. This prevents them from walking around in the meantime.

It is possible to utilise the  Dino Ternion, to restrict the range for mating. And then no mating pen is needed.

If you practice not want to build a pen, whistle or use a ternion; and then you can merely use enable mating instead, this will make the creatures stand still and so they will offset to mate.

Mating [ ]

When the above conditions are all met, a small crimson heart icon appears over the heads of the mating creatures, and a mating bar appears on the female'south HUD (look at the female to reveal the HUD). The HUD also indicates which beast they are mating with. Ensure the mating animals remain shut together, equally otherwise the mating stops. Due to server lag and game mechanics, the mating bar does non continuously update in real time. Additionally, mating multiple females to a single male at the same fourth dimension can make this worse. Patience is brash as the bar moves in leaps and bounds.

One time the mating bar is completed, non-mammalian females driblet a single fertilized egg , and mammalian females starting time gestating.

If at that place are too many tamed creatures in the server or in the tribe, the pair will refuse to mate until there is a complimentary spot.

Special Conditions of Mating [ ]

Some of the creatures volition only mate when sure conditions are given.

Mating Expect Interval [ ]

Females cannot mate again until a mating wait interval has passed (Cryofreezing them will even so continue the mating interval cooldown). This interval is indicated on their HUD.

The mating interval starts afterwards the brute has laid the egg or gestation has completed. The mating interval is as well started for female creatures that are transferred between servers. Males can mate at any fourth dimension.

Incubation [ ]

Main article: Incubation

The fertilized egg itself only begins Incubation when dropped onto the floor/footing or placed correctly in an  Egg Incubator (Genesis: Part ii). When incubating, a Fertilized Egg must be kept at a certain temperature range depending on the species (this as well factors in insulation). If outside of this temperature range, incubation won't brand progress, and it loses "Fertilized Egg Health" over fourth dimension and is destroyed if this reaches zero. This is all indicated on the HUD when looking at a Fertilized Egg, along with its parents.

You tin ever "break" the incubation by picking up the egg and putting it in a  Refrigerator,  Preserving Bin or other Inventory.

The following eggs are an exception due to the nature of how it is obtained (no health loss in inadequate temperature area):

If at that place are also many tamed creatures in the server or in the tribe, the egg will continue to incubate with no timer information, but letting it hatch will non yield a baby.

Managing Temperature [ ]

The best method to ensure eggs are at an appropriate temperature for incubation is through insulation. Use one or more  Air Conditioner,  Dimetrodon,  Kairuku or  Otter. Six  Air Conditioner should piece of work for all eggs but eight is ideal for when there is a heat/common cold tempest. You might demand upward to xiv or more Air Conditioners for larger eggs such as the  Giganotosaurus, or the  Wyvern in Scorched Earth or Ragnarok. The  Rock Drake in Aberration requires at least 15 Air Conditioners due to its very cold incubation requirement. Whereas the  Deinonychus from Valguero needs a crude 23 Air Conditioners in the snowfall because of its farthermost rut required.

With the release of Genesis: Office 2, the introduction of the  Egg Incubator (Genesis: Part two) allows for yet another way to incubate eggs.

Another style is to tame a handful of  Dimetrodon. These seemingly useless finned creatures are actually ane of the all-time sources of insulation in the entire game. The higher their melee damage, the higher their insulation bonus is; at ~1000 melee damage, it tin can even raise Wyvern eggs. The insulation effect stacks with other Dimetrodons, so if ane isn't enough to do the job, try two, or three, or more than. Far cheaper to maintain than the expensive air conditioners, these guys are mobile and only demand meat, compared to the stationary air conditioner that also needs electricity to run. However, everything has its drawbacks: the Dimetrodon is tedious and difficult to transport on foot; they are difficult to tame due to where they spawn and their fast torpor drop. However, it is worth the risk, peculiarly on Aberration, where  Rock Drake Egg would normally require many air conditioners.

At the beginning of the game, when the Air Conditioner or Dimetrodon are not notwithstanding bachelor, use a estrus source to regulate the egg'due south temperature.  Standing Torch,  Torch,  Bivouac,  Industrial Cooker, and stone fireplace work well. However, they all have the downside of providing negative Heat Tolerance, making careful management necessary, or going to colder areas to brand the gap between cold resistance and heat resistance bigger. You may demand four or more torches, depending on the biome and the egg.

Since temperature gradients can exist very extreme betwixt regions, hands reaching 20 °C or more, you can endeavor and find a nearby biome where the temperature is closer to the eggs' platonic point; this is normally in the biome that spawned the fauna. Early in the game, information technology is easier to observe a biome that is too cold (eastward.g. nigh the declension) and rut the egg with torches, rather than trying to cool downwardly a hot biome.

As Fertilized Eggs don't lose Egg Wellness in an inventory, and spoil incredibly slowly, y'all can keep them in your Inventory or in a preserving bin/refrigerator until able to achieve the appropriate temperature needed for Incubating. This can be very useful if you settled in a region with extreme temperatures as it'south especially difficult to cool an egg in a hot biome without an air conditioner when it gets too hot.

Glued Eggs [ ]

While most brute's egg can exist moved to its suitable location if the required temperature for incubation is not suited at its current location, some of the eggs cannot be moved once laid due to its glued nature. As such, females of the following eggs must lay their eggs at locations that allows incubation without causing complications:

Gestating [ ]

During gestation, females can swallow up to twice the amount of food they would normally. Ensure the expectant mother has access to plenty of food during gestation to avoid losing the baby.

The baby volition need firsthand attention to survive, and so be certain to be in that location at the time the gestation ends.

Trying to put a gestating mother into a cryopod will terminate the pregnancy.

Challenge [ ]

Babies are hatched/born unclaimed, and so a survivor must "claim" them immediately subsequently nativity by getting close to them, looking correct at them, and pressing the "use" key ( East , , ) to imprint them, otherwise they can be claimed by other survivors. The only exception is the  Reaper King, which can merely be claimed by the survivor who "gave birth" to it; no other survivor including the birthgiver's tribe mates tin claim it.

Warning: Pets set on ambitious attack unclaimed creatures as soon as they are hatched/born. Whistle "Passive" or merits babies quickly to avoid this. Also Tek Shields volition 'shunt' unclaimed babies out of their radius.

As of 264.five, Auto Turrets and Institute Species 10 set to "Players and Tamed Creatures" will NOT assail unclaimed creatures after they are hatched/born. You tin safely place turrets inside a hatching pen without fearing for babies' lives.

If babies are not very promptly claimed and then fed they can quickly die from hunger.

Y'all tin control the hatch timing of fertilized eggs using a  Preserving Bin or  Refrigerator. This is not an option for alive birth creatures, then brand sure to time the mating and gestation appropriately.

Caring For Babies [ ]

Immature animals take significant fourth dimension and intensive intendance, peculiarly during the "Babe" stage; if you're busy, don't breed your creatures right abroad. Alternately, you can only put the newborn baby into a cryopod for later. About creatures will crave the meliorate office of a weekend to heighten.

New babies follow the nearest survivor if one is within a reasonable range, so survivors will probably want to disable these settings. New babies have extremely depression health, carrying capacity and food, so survivors need to carefully feed and take care of them in their first moments of life, or they'll soon die. The fauna must be fed past adding food to their inventory. One time they reach Juvenile stage of their maturation (10.1%) they tin can eat from a  Feeding Trough or  Tek Trough to ensure the creature has a sufficient food supply. The maturation progress and phase is shown when looking at the brute.

Babies dynamically gain more HP, nutrient capacity, and carrying chapters as they mature over time. They need lots of nutrient because the babies eat very quickly, so stock up beforehand while the mother is significant/the egg is incubating.

Babies are not mountable and flee from fights. Mounts that can behave creatures (e.g. the  Argentavis) can behave babies, which allows you to quickly reposition the little ones if needed.

The  Procoptodon and the  Maewing are 2 creatures that tin help with raising babies.

It takes a long fourth dimension for babies to mature; breeding should but exist attempted if you or your tribe accept the time. As the babe grows, you will be able to leave the babe alone for longer and longer periods of time. One good use of a survivor's time at this stage might exist crafting kibble for imprinting. If you will be imprinting, the baby might request any of 6 different kibbles (on PC and Console) or 15 unlike kibbles (on Mobile), so make sure you lot accept them on hand.

Caring for Infant Carnivores [ ]

Baby carnivores are particularly difficult to raise as it takes a minimum of 48 real hours to mature them, and a stack of meat spoils every 26.6 real hours (xl x twoscore mins) in the feeding trough. Therefore their feeding trough must be topped upward every 26 hours to keep their evolution. Failure to do and then could result in starvation to death. Past using Fish Meat, this time is doubled to 53,3 hours (xl 10 80 mins), although Raw Fish Meat is only half as nutritious every bit Raw Meat, then babies will demand twice as much meat. Creatures* volition eat food with the lowest nutrient value first (come across food table beneath), thus fish meat before raw meat, so mixing the two volition upshot in the longer keeping fish meat existence eaten kickoff. After progression to Juvenile phase, the creatures can swallow from a trough, merely volition starve if not fed.

This is less of an result for herbivores, considering a stack of 100 berries lasts 66 real hours (2.7 days) earlier spoiling, a much more manageable interval. Remember non to endeavour and feed the babies with stim or narcoberries because they won't eat them.

*Few creatures, similar Baryonyx and Pelagornis will eat Raw Fish Meat before Cooked Fish Meat and they just swallow fish meat. Similarly, their offspring will only consume raw fish meat until reaching adulthood.

The use of a powered  Tek Trough that can store more items and acts like a refrigerator extending the spoil time is recommended.

Caring for Babies from Egg-merely Tames [ ]

Babies hatched from Egg-only taming (with the exception of  Deinonychus) but takes a specific food until they fully matures. While their food drops downward slower than other babies, feeding them with their usual nutrient will not replenish their food.

Special Caring [ ]

Some babies require special caring. Effects can be disastrous if not cared for properly.

Reaper King [ ]

This department is most content exclusive to the DLC: Abnormality

For details on taking intendance of baby Reaper Male monarch or how to obtain them, check its own article. Reaper King babies will attack any dino and whatever survivor around if it is able to accomplish towards them and will be constantly on wander (with no options to stop wandering or follow target). It will not attack the birth giver with  Reaper Pheromone Gland event. Once it reaches Juvenile however, it will finish randomly attacking and tin can be ordered like every other baby.

Whenever the baby attacks an entity, a portion of its food volition be lost.

Imperial Griffin [ ]

This section is about a feature exclusively available on Mobile

Baby Griffins prefer to be secure to feel rubber. While it feels insecure, information technology will refuse to eat food from inventory or trough. For it to feel secure, it must exist close to its mother based on the current ancestor, or a female griffin with the same surname as the baby.

Beelzebufo [ ]

Until adulthood maturity, Beelzebufo babies must always be kept inside water. Any attempt to pull information technology out even as Adolescent will hands impale it.

Food Values [ ]

Carnivores will only eat meat, while herbivores will only eat berries. During the infant phase, you have to paw feed the baby until it reaches the juvenile phase. This can have quite a long time so exist prepared and have time to sit around feeding a baby.

Nutrient	Food-Value
Preferred  Kibble	80 (53.33*)
Kibble made from  Prime number Meat Jerky (excluding Carbonemys kibble)	90
Other  Kibble	lx
Raw Prime Meat /  Raw Meat /  Raw Mutton	l**
Spoiled Meat	50***
Cooked Prime Meat /  Prime Meat Jerky	50
Crops	xl
Mejoberries	30
Cooked Meat /  Cooked Meat Jerky	25
Raw Prime Fish Meat /  Cooked Prime number Fish Meat /  Raw Fish Meat	25
Other Berries	xx
Cooked Fish Meat	12

* Brontos merely gain 53.33 nutrient points from their preferred  Kibble (Carbonemys Egg)
** some creatures accept dissimilar values for raw meat, e.m. the  Bloodstalker gains just 10 for each raw meat.
*** simply for  Scorpions,  Vultures and  Mantis.

Maturation Phases & Food Consumption [ ]

Maturation Progress	Phase
0%-10%	Babe
x%-50%	Juvenile
50%-100%	Adolescent

Nutrient consumption by babies is very large and varies by the maturation progress dynamically by the post-obit formula:

FoodPerSec = R * (one - maturationRatio) , with R = basic nutrient drain rate        

The bones food drain rate varies per creature. For example, this value for a Rex babe is around R=one.16, while the Bloodstalker has a base food drain rate of R=0.785 (further measurements needed for other creatures).

The Stone Drake has a basic nutrient drain of R = 0.one, other special creatures like Wyvern and Magmasaur may have an equivalent food consumption (not tested yet).

Note: This formula is an estimation and may not requite exact numbers (the error is around 5%). `maturationRatio` is the maturation percentage divided by 100.

Some Perspective: For only one babe Male monarch (retrieve you lot could accept twins or triplets) on an unmodified server, it will take roughly 96 stacks of raw meat (stack size xl) to reach adult phase, so exist sure to have plenty on hand earlier the infant is born!

Use a estimator to make up one's mind the needed nutrient and time, e.one thousand.^[3]

Notes [ ]

• Each creature seems to have a different nutrient consumption rate that appears to change with each stage of the maturation progress (at least for wolves and Dodos).

Imprinting [ ]

---

Imprinting is a way to improve the stat-values of a bred brute. It requires i of three interactions (giving specific kibble, cuddling or walking) every 8* hours. Simply a single player can imprint a newborn baby (whoever claims it first). There is no penalty for not imprinting, but no gain either. Any imprinting done is permanent. Accumulated imprinting values will non be lost if yous miss an banner.

If this actor manages to care for the babe during the unabridged maturation, the creature'due south base stats before modifications volition exist increased by 20% and, when ridden by the imprinter, it volition too gain thirty% increased damage and damage resistance.

* The time between imprint and the corporeality of imprint gained per imprint can alter if an event is happening. Keep an eye out on the HUD for when the next imprint is required.

Sterile Creatures [ ]

All tameable creatures are breedable except for:

Despite in-game showing the  Reaper King equally breedable, it is impossible due to how they are "tamed", with the added fact they are shown as genderless.

In ARK: Survival Evolved Mobile,  Royal Griffin has gender and tin can be bred. However, they will only mate with members of the same firm (they must have the same ii-3 last letters in their names).

Stats of the Offspring [ ]

In-Depth expect at Breeding Super Dinos

The spawn of two dinosaurs will inherit the "natural" stat levels of its parents. Natural stat levels are the levels in each stat after information technology has been tamed merely before it gains any stats through leveling-up by a player. There is a 55% chance of inheriting the stronger stat of each parent. This means you lot accept a certain percent chance of obtaining a 100% perfect (meaning with only the college stats of both parents) animate being from both parents from each mating.

The stat-values (not the stat-levels) of the offspring are calculated similar for a creature that was merely tamed with a 100% taming effectiveness with the taming effectiveness bonuses applied. This means that an offspring can have college values than its parents in stats that get a bonus from taming effectiveness (for most creatures this is Melee Damage and sometimes Food). See also Creature stats calculation for how the values are calculated from the stats.

Instance [ ]

To understand this better, here is an instance. Allow'southward only look at the melee damage of a pair of Raptors. Presume they were just tamed with a taming effectiveness of 70% and take both already iv levels in melee damage. The value you can see as melee harm is co-ordinate to the formula on Creature stats adding, the newly added extra modifier (balancing update), and the stats of the raptors

Value = (BaseStat × ( 1 + LevelWild × IncreaseWild) + TamingBonusAdd × TamingBonusAddModifier) × (ane + TamingEffectiveness × TamingBonusMult × TamingBonusMultModifier) Value = (100% × ( 1 + 4 × 5%) + 50% × xv%) × (1 + 70% × forty% × 45%) Value = 127.5% × 112.6% Value = 143.six%        

The offspring inherits the values of its parents. Merely they don't inherit the manifestly value, but the levels the parents spend in the stats before being leveled upwards past a thespian. So the offspring inherits 4 levels for its melee impairment (as both parents take 4 levels in this case). To get the value of the melee damage of the offspring, we calculate information technology similar before, but this time we employ a taming effectiveness of 100% (this is the manner the game gives you some other bonus if y'all breed creatures).

Value = (BaseStat × ( 1 + LevelWild × IncreaseWild) + TamingBonusAdd × TamingBonusAddModifier) × (1 + TamingEffectiveness × TamingBonusMult × TamingBonusMultModifier) Value = (100% × ( 1 + 4 × 5%) + l% × xv%) × (1 + 100% × 40% × 45%) Value = 127.5% × 118% Value = 150.5%        

The offspring has similar the parents four levels in melee impairment, but with the college taming-effectiveness-bonus its value is 150.5% instead of 143.vi%. The bonus is not much, but is clearly noticeable.

Amount of higher stats and chance of obtaining them when hatching [ ]

Number of desired Stats	Probability [%]
vi	2.77%
5	thirteen.59%
4	27.80%
iii	xxx.32%
two	18.61%
ane	6.09%
0	0.83%

Finding the Best Parents [ ]

To maximize the stats of the offspring, specialized parents with a good value in few stats are needed. The more specialized a creature is in one stat, the college it can be. To get a actually good breed you need six creatures, each with a loftier upleveled (but the wild-leveling counts here) different stat. Afterwards at to the lowest degree 3 generations a animal with the best of the stats tin can be bred.

Wild Stats Level-up

Blazon in values of a wild creature to see on which stats it's emphasized. Dark-green values on a high-level creature are very good for breeding. If you have already tamed your creature you tin can try to recover the breeding stats with an external tool.^[four]

Breeding

The stat-calculator does not work in the mobile-view, see here for alternatives: Apps

Annotation that after the beast is tamed it gets bonuses on some stats depending on the taming effectiveness. This makes it hard to recollect the levels on a tamed creature, and so this tool is just for wild ones, but gives a first impression, how well the stats are distributed.

Level of the Offspring [ ]

The resulting level of the infant is the sum of wild level-points (i.e. level of the animate being directly after taming) spent in the inherited stats by its parents. Presume for example, that 1 (highly unusual) parent has only leveled up in Wellness twoscore levels and nothing else, while the other parent leveled upwardly just in weight 30 levels. If the baby happens to inherit these college stats, it inherits 70 levelups giving it level 71 with its starting level. Other possibilities are a level 41 Infant with only health leveled up, a level 31 infant with merely weight leveled upward or a baby with level 1 and nothing leveled upwardly.

The (practically incommunicable to reach) maximum of levels a babe can get would exist 223 levelups (149 natural + 74 by taming bonus (TE of most 100%)) in each stat, with vii stats summing up to level 1562 (223 levelups in seven stats plus the startinglevel: 223 x seven + 1 = 1562).

One would need to find an average of 2.863×ten^188 number of any creature to get all 223 wild stats put into any specific stat, bold all levels have the same run a risk of spawning [1/((1/vii)^223)].

Annotation that the levels a wild fauna wastes in the motility stat is remembered and passed on during breeding. Thus two siblings with seemingly identical stats might accept different levels if one of them inherited a higher move stat than the other. This has i practical advantage: a higher torpor level.

Note that the cap level of creature on official are 450, later this level your creature will be deleted by server restart, transferring or if yous cryo pod it.

Instance [ ]

Here's an example of ii parents and possible children they tin can become. Child1 inherited random stats, ChildMax only got the maximum values and ChildMin simply got the lower values. You can see that the level of the offspring can be lower, in between or higher as the levels of the parents. The higher levelup is displayed in assuming.

Displayed are merely the wild levels (the ones that tin exist inherited). Levelups by the player have no influence on the stats of the offspring.

In this example the levels of Stamina are the same for both parents, so y'all cannot tell which one the offspring inherited.

Female parent	Child1	ChildMax	ChildMin	Father
Level 154 Stat Lvl HP 24 St 23 Ox 26 Fo 18 We nineteen Dm 22 Sp 21	Level 150 Stat Lvl HP xviii St 23 Ox 26 Fo 22 We xix Dm 22 Sp 19	Level 166 Stat Lvl HP 24 St 23 Ox 26 Fo 22 Nosotros 27 Dm 22 Sp 21	Level 130 Stat Lvl HP 18 St 23 Ox 15 Fo 18 Nosotros 19 Dm 17 Sp 19	Level 142 Stat Lvl HP 18 St 23 Ox xv Fo 22 We 27 Dm 17 Sp 19

To get to the brute's level, you add together up the levels of the stats and add together i, equally all creatures kickoff at level ane.

Notes/Trivia [ ]

• Contrary to popular myths, the  Oviraptors and  Unicorns do not increase chances for twins, triplets nor mutations.
• The  Titanoboa,  Basilisk,  Coelacanth,  Piranha,  Sabertooth Salmon,  Karkinos,  Dung Protrude,  Astrocetus,  Lamprey and  Trilobite cannot be bred when domesticated.
  • However, in the real world all reptiles, fish, crustaceans, snails, whales, and Trilobites and Dung Beetles are able to brood.
