Enter your creature type, maturation speed, hatching speed, and baby food consumption multipliers to calculate the total breeding time.

Breeding Time Calculation Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the total breeding time for creatures in ARK Survival Evolved.

Total Breeding Time = (100 / Maturation Speed) + (100 / Hatching Speed) + (100 / Baby Food Consumption)

Variables:

  • Total Breeding Time is the total time required for breeding (hours)
  • Maturation Speed is the multiplier affecting the maturation time
  • Hatching Speed is the multiplier affecting the hatching time
  • Baby Food Consumption is the multiplier affecting the baby’s food consumption rate

To calculate the total breeding time, divide 100 by each multiplier and add the results together.

What is Breeding Time Calculation?

Breeding time calculation refers to the process of determining the total time required for a creature to breed in ARK Survival Evolved. This involves understanding the different multipliers that affect the breeding process, such as maturation speed, hatching speed, and baby food consumption rate. Proper breeding time calculation ensures efficient breeding and resource management in the game.

How to Calculate Breeding Time?

The following steps outline how to calculate the total breeding time using the given formula.


  1. First, determine the multipliers for maturation speed, hatching speed, and baby food consumption rate.
  2. Next, use the formula from above: Total Breeding Time = (100 / Maturation Speed) + (100 / Hatching Speed) + (100 / Baby Food Consumption).
  3. Calculate the total breeding time by plugging in the values.
  4. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem:

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

Maturation Speed Multiplier = 2

Hatching Speed Multiplier = 2

Baby Food Consumption Multiplier = 1.5

FAQ

1. What is maturation speed?

Maturation speed is the rate at which a creature grows from a baby to an adult. A higher multiplier means faster maturation.

2. How does hatching speed affect breeding?

Hatching speed affects the time it takes for an egg to hatch. A higher multiplier means the egg will hatch faster.

3. How often should I use the breeding calculator?

It’s helpful to use the breeding calculator whenever you are planning to breed new creatures or adjust your server settings.

4. Can this calculator be used for different creatures?

Yes, you can adjust the multipliers to match the settings for any creature to calculate the breeding time accordingly.

5. Is the calculator accurate?

The calculator provides an estimate of the breeding time based on the inputs provided. For exact figures, it’s best to consult official ARK Survival Evolved resources or use in-game timers.
