Change taming speed on an ARK: Survival Evolved server

Open the Dino Settings card and raise Taming Speed Multiplier; 2 tames twice as fast, 5 five times as fast. Restart the server. Torpor and food drain for sleeping creatures are on the same card.

Taming speed

  1. Open the server's Auto Config page and the Dino Settings card.
  2. Set Taming Speed Multiplier (TamingSpeedMultiplier). 1 is the official rate; the slider goes from 0.1 to 10.
  3. Restart the server.

Knockout tames

  • Wild Dino Torpor Drain Multiplier: lower values make knocked-out creatures stay asleep longer, so you need fewer narcotics.
  • Wild Dino Food Drain Multiplier: higher values make a sleeping creature eat its food faster, which speeds up the tame.

Questions

What is a good taming speed for a small server?

Many small and solo servers use 3 to 5 so a tame takes minutes instead of hours. Try a value, tame something you know, and adjust; changes apply at the next restart.

Where is TamingSpeedMultiplier in the ini files?

In GameUserSettings.ini under [ServerSettings]. In HaruHost it is Taming Speed Multiplier on the Dino Settings card.
