Get to Know ARK’s “Taming Speed Multiplier” Feature | Nitrado Guide

Introduction

When you start playing on an ARK: Survival Ascended server, sometimes you don’t have the time to spend hours taming a creature. That’s why reducing the time invested becomes important. However, you may ask the question: how will I achieve this? Fortunately, we’ll show you how to do this in our official guide. All that’s required is editing two values accordingly and boom – you’re able to speed up the process. Let’s begin to learn about their individual effects and find the perfect balance on your own ARK server!

Increasing Taming Speed

To increase the speed at which creatures are tamed on your server, you will primarily need to modify the value of “TamingSpeedMultiplier=1.” This value makes the dinosaur require less food to be tamed. If you set it to 2, the food affects the taming progress twice as much.

Another important factor to consider, along with the taming speed multiplier, is the “DinoCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier=1” setting. This also impacts the taming speed of wild and unconscious dinosaurs. This is because it changes the rate at which the food of your tamed and taming dinosaurs is drained. To reduce the frequency at which you need to feed them, you should lower this multiplier option.

If you want your dinosaurs to be tamed twice as fast, you can use the following values:

• TamingSpeedMultiplier = 8
• DinoCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier = 0.25

This result was obtained using the following formula:

 

“Actual Taming Speed Multiplier” = TamingSpeedMultiplier x DinoCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier

 

Using this formula, you can determine the exact values to achieve the ideal taming speed for your server, whether it’s x2 like the example or increased by any amount you desire.

Making Changes on Your ARK Server

Now that you understand how these values affect your gaming experience, it’s time to change the values on your server, whether local or online.

Local

1. To access these parameters, first, you need to create a new world and go to the “Game Rules” tab.
2. First, we will change the “DinoCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier” found in the “creature” tab under “Food Drain.”
   

3. Next, we will change the “TamingSpeedMultiplier” in the “World” tab and look for the section that says “Taming Speed Multiplier.”
   

4. And that’s how you configure the taming speed on your local server.

Nitrado Server

1. To make these adjustments on your Nitrado server, you will need to access your server’s web interface.
2. Stop your server before making any changes.
3. Then enter “General” in the “Settings” section.
   

4. Now scroll to the bottom where you will first find “Dino-Hunger Multiplier” which is the equivalent of “DinoCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier”.
   

5. A little further down you will find the “Taming Speed ​​Multiplier” option.
   

6. Once you have placed the desired values ​​in each of the options you can save changes and restart your server. Once everything is in order, the changes should be reflected.

Conclusion

Regardless of the reason you want to adjust the taming speed of creatures in ARK: Survival Ascended, the steps mentioned above will guide you through the process for both local and dedicated servers. Additionally, there are detailed explanations of the multiplier settings so you can better understand how they work. This gives you complete control over increasing or decreasing the taming speed on your server. Invite your friends and enjoy capturing creatures in less time on your own ARK: Survival Ascended server!
