Here at Arkadia, we’re constantly striving to enhance your Ark: Survival Evolved experience. Today, we’re excited to introduce a powerful new feature – Dino-Stats! This in-game functionality provides a streamlined way to view and understand the base stats of your tamed dinosaurs, allowing for more informed breeding, selection, and overall strategic gameplay.
What is Dino-Stats?
Dino-Stats is an in-game feature designed to display key statistical information for your tamed dinosaurs directly within the chat window. It builds upon concepts explored in community resources like the #│smart-breeding guide, but delivers the information directly within your gameplay session – no external tools or calculations required.
How Does it Work?
Utilizing simple chat commands, you can quickly access a wealth of information about your dinos. Here’s a breakdown of how to use Dino-Stats:
/dino
: While looking directly at your tamed dinosaur, type this command into the chat. The feature will then display the dinosaur’s base stats, including (but not limited to) HP, Stamina, Damage, Weight, and Torpor. This provides a clear snapshot of the dino’s inherent strengths and weaknesses./rename
: This command offers a unique functionality. When used on a tamed dinosaur, it renames the dino to reflect its key base stats. This allows you to visually identify and differentiate dinos with desirable attributes at a glance, streamlining your breeding programs and strategic deployment. The naming convention is designed to be concise and informative.
Why Use Dino-Stats?
This feature offers several key benefits to Arkadia community members:
- Improved Breeding Efficiency: Quickly assess the potential of your dinos for breeding programs. Identify those with high stat values in desired areas to maximize the quality of future generations.
- Strategic Dino Selection: Deploy the right dino for the job. Knowing the stats of each dino allows you to tailor your team composition for specific tasks, such as gathering, combat, or transportation.
- Simplified Stat Tracking: Eliminate the need for external spreadsheets or manual calculations. Dino-Stats provides all the essential information directly within the game.
- Enhanced Gameplay Experience: Dino-Stats empowers you to make more informed decisions, adding a new layer of depth and strategy to your Ark: Survival Evolved adventures.
Connection to the #smart-breeding Guide
We’ve taken inspiration from the excellent work done by the community around smart breeding. While the #│smart-breeding guide provides detailed external resources for calculating and tracking stats, Dino-Stats brings those core concepts *inside* the game, making them more accessible and convenient for all players. We encourage you to explore both resources to maximize your breeding and taming success.
