ARK Tools
ARK: Survival Evolved server tools: breeding and imprint calculator with per-species maturation times, cuddle schedules, 100%-imprint feasibility checker, taming calculator, kibble guide, and GameUserSettings.ini output.
ARK Server Rates Calculator
Set your ARK server multipliers — XP, harvest, taming, mating interval, egg hatch, maturation, and cuddle interval — and instantly see real durations vs official rates. Includes taming times for Rex, Argentavis, Raptor, and Direwolf, plus a ready-to-paste GameUserSettings.ini block.
ARK: Survival Ascended Server Settings Builder
Generate an ARK: Survival Ascended GameUserSettings.ini [ServerSettings] block. Rate sliders for harvest, XP, taming, breeding, and more. Presets for Official, 3×, 10×, and Boosted PvP. Only outputs changed settings.
ARK: Survival Ascended Level & Engram Generator
Generate custom level caps and engram point progression for ARK: Survival Ascended servers. Set max level, XP curve (vanilla or flat), and engrams per level — outputs the correct Game.ini block.
ARK Tribe Permission Matrix Builder
Plan ARK tribe permission ranks visually. Configure all 15 permission flags across 5 ranks, use presets, and export a summary to share with your tribe before setting up in-game.
ARK Cluster Transfer Config Builder
Configure multi-map ARK clusters with per-server transfer restrictions. Add up to 6 servers, set survivor/item/dino transfer permissions independently per map, and export launch flags and GameUserSettings.ini snippets for each server.
ARK Dino Spawn Rate Configurator
Adjust ARK dinosaur spawn rates with sliders for 20 common creatures (DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers easy mode) or build ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer blocks for fine-grained control. Includes warning about the silent-ignore bug when targeting the same container twice.
ARK Wild Dino Wipe Scheduler
Generate a complete ARK wild dino wipe workflow — pre-wipe broadcast sequence, DestroyWildDinos RCON command, and a downloadable Linux or Windows script with optional cron scheduling. Includes lag spike warning and SaveWorld step.
ARK Engram Override Generator (ASE)
Customize individual ARK Survival Evolved engrams using the numeric index system — hide primitives, adjust level requirements, change EP costs, or remove prerequisites. Includes auto-unlock-all shortcut and whitelist mode documentation.
ARK GameUserSettings Full Builder
Configure the long-tail ARK GameUserSettings.ini settings that the standard settings builder skips — active events, chat settings, weather, tribe log size, structure limits, and prevent-spawn flags. Outputs only changed settings.
ARK Supply Drop & Loot Crate Editor
Build custom ConfigOverrideSupplyCrateItems entries for ARK's Game.ini. Select drop tier (White through Boss), add items with quantity and quality ranges, and export the config block — the web-based alternative to Beacon's desktop-only loot editor.
ARK Server MOTD & Announcement Builder
Build ARK's Message of the Day with a live preview, RichColor tag support (with hex-to-float color picker), and ready-made templates for rules, events, and wipes. Outputs both the GameUserSettings.ini block and the live-update RCON command.
ARK Crafting Recipe Override Builder
Generate ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts entries for ARK's Game.ini. Select any craftable item, add or remove resource requirements with quantities, and export the config block — rebalance crafting costs without editing blueprint paths by hand.
ARK Per-Level Stat Multiplier Builder
Configure all 12 per-level stat multipliers for ARK players and dinos using plain-English stat names. Generates a Game.ini block with 4 server presets and clear warnings about the Game.ini vs GameUserSettings.ini distinction.
ARK Breeding & Imprint Calculator
Calculate imprint schedules and breeding rate settings for ARK: Survival Evolved servers. Enter your server's cuddle interval and maturation speed to see exactly when to cuddle, whether 100% imprint is achievable, and a ready-to-paste GameUserSettings.ini snippet.
ARK Taming Calculator
ARK Survival Evolved taming calculator. Select a dino and level, pick your server's taming multiplier, and instantly see how much food, narcotics, and time you need. Covers 40 of the most tamed creatures.
ARK Kibble Guide & Egg Finder
Find the right kibble for any ARK tame. Select a dino to see which kibble tier it prefers and which eggs produce it, or pick an egg type to see which dinos it can tame. Covers the post-rework kibble tier system.
ARK Boss Arena Prep Checklist
Generate an ARK boss fight prep checklist. Select the boss, difficulty, and tribe size to get recommended dinos, saddle armor requirements, consumables needed, and Tek engram unlocks.

ARK Character Stat Planner
Plan your ARK survivor's level-up stat allocation with playstyle presets (Fighter, Tamer, Builder, Crafter). Shows real-world stat values per point invested, includes a reverse calculator, and highlights the Crafting Skill threshold for saddle blueprint optimization.
ARK Desert Survival Planner
Calculate water survival windows on ARK's desert maps (Scorched Earth, Ragnarok, Crystal Isles). Factor in water stat, activity level, superheat events, Cactus Broth/Calien Soup buffs, and server drain multiplier to plan water containers for any outing.
ARK Dino Color Region Viewer
Visual reference for ARK creature color regions with admin command generator. Select a creature to see labeled region descriptions for all 6 color slots, pick colors from the full 188-color palette (with mutation-only colors flagged), and generate ready-to-paste SetTargetDinoColor commands.
ARK Dino Food Consumption & Weight Estimator
Calculate how much food your ARK dinos need per trip or session, and how much that food weighs. Plan passive feeding troughs (how many dinos one trough supports) and long-distance Quetzal transport logistics — with stack counts and spoilage warnings.
ARK Dino Imprint Schedule Tracker
Track ARK baby dinosaur imprinting with a real-time countdown and full cuddle schedule. Enter hatch time and server multipliers to see exact real-world clock times for every cuddle window — the live countdown the existing breeding calculator doesn't provide.
ARK Mutation Breeding Planner
Plan ARK mutation breeding projects with probability math. Enter your female pool size and starting mutation counters to see expected rounds to success, clean vs dirty line management guidance, and a female pool size comparison — filling the gap ArkUtils leaves with just a female count tool.
ARK Saddle Blueprint Crafting Skill Calculator
Calculate the armor range achievable when crafting an ARK saddle blueprint at your crafting skill level — or find the minimum skill needed to hit a target armor value. Forward and reverse modes with wasted-skill threshold indicator.
ARK Wild Stat Extractor
Reverse-engineer a tamed ARK dinosaur's wild level point distribution from its post-tame stats. The browser-based alternative to ARK Smart Breeding — enter creature, level, taming effectiveness, and in-game stats to get wild points per stat and a keeper score for your chosen breeding role.
ARK Taming Effectiveness Predictor
Predict ARK taming effectiveness degradation and bonus levels at each stage of a tame. Shows TE% after every food item fed and the resulting bonus levels — the step-by-step breakdown Dododex doesn't provide. Color-coded quality bands (excellent/good/poor).
ARK Boss Event Coordinator
Coordinate a 10-person ARK boss run with tribute lists, role assignments, and a Discord announcement embed. Select map, boss, and difficulty to get exact tribute requirements, arena restrictions, and a roster builder — the group-coordination companion to the solo Boss Arena Prep Checklist.
ARK Breeding Event Scheduler
Plan and announce ARK breeding weekend events. Enter server rates and select focus dinos to see maturation times, cuddle counts, imprint achievability, and optimal egg start times — then export a Discord announcement with a per-dino breeding schedule.
ARK Cluster Map Overview Generator
Generate a Discord cluster map guide card for multi-server ARK clusters. Add up to 12 maps with transfer restrictions, difficulty stage, connection IPs, and unique features — the pinned cluster reference your players actually want.

ARK PvP Zone & Raid Rule Builder
Generate a structured ARK PvP ruleset with toggleable sections for offline raid protection, caging limits, third-party raiding, teaming bans, rat-hole rules, and purge windows. Uses ARK-specific terminology (ORP, popcorning) and exports Discord, plain text, and BBCode formats.

Generate a tribe membership application for your ARK community server. Choose from a curated question bank covering background, availability, skills, and behavior — with toggleable admission tests and custom questions. Exports a Discord-ready application post.
ARK Tribe War Declaration Generator
