ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
After going through berries and berries and berries. Having 3-4 maewings set up. Staying up all night multiple times. Setting 3 snow owls by each one and still losing them or watching them burn through the food like it’s nothing—-
COOKED MEAT IS ABSOLUTELY THE ONLY WAY TO GO!
They eat it WAY SLOWER and you can have multiple babies on one maewing and juveniles and adolescents on only one trough. I have built multiple tel troughs and wasted so much time and resources on building isolated areas and independent feeding areas. Just pick up your dinos and set out your gachas like you would anything else. It’s so simple and everyone sees how fast they burn through food so nobody tries it. Cooked meat, in a maewing and then a trough (always have backups). That’s it. Nothing special about it. I have 8 juveniles and a couple of adolescents out for 10 hours now and haven’t even used a whole tel trough yet. So glad I figured it out finally. Hope this helps.
More Gacha Taming & KO Tips
Just harvest stone and drop it on the ground near them to tame. Crystals and gems work too, but stone works best. Much easier to gather than owl feces.
Don’t waste your tek material trying to get foundations! Just use thatch and it’s the same outcome! So I guess tek=thatch.

Feeding greenhouse ceilings has around the same taming effectiveness as metal and tek structures. Get this added to the calc.^^^^
You can’t tame the Christmas event ones
Carnivores: I eat meat
Herbivores: I eat plants
Piscivores: I eat fish
Omnivore: I eat eat plants and meat
Sanguinivore: I drink blood
Gacha: I’ll eat anything, Even owl puke but for real your greenhouse looks tasty 😋
Gachas are a passive tame creature.
Warning. Using snow owl pellets no longer gives high efficiency. It is only as good as using stone structures.
Imagine feeding them tek structures 🤦♂️
Don’t try to tame Santa Gacha does not work
USE COOKING POTS. Much less resources to use, and works almost as well as tek. Got a 130 last night in about 20 seconds on official during 2x. We used 5 separated stacks of 10 cooking pots, waited for it to sit the dropped each stack back to back. The Gacha will eat all the stacks in about 20 and be done with around 99 effectiveness.
Would highly recommend this meathod cause we tried using greenhouse stuff following the amount from dododex and that only got us to about 60%, then we were scrambling to make anything and just lost it from there. Cooking pot stacks was a suggestion from a person on our server and wanted to share here.
You can also follow a wild one around for a while and just collect its crystals before you tame it to see what it will produce. After taming several now, the crystals it produces when wild are always the same after they are tamed. GL
