Manual
There are external resources (mostly videos) about Smart Breeding and breeding in Ark in general, check them out on External Resources.
- Manually: Creature stats can be entered manually from all platforms.
- Importing: The most convenient way is to import a creature directly, this is only possible on Steam or Epic versions.
- OCR: If configured correctly can result in good results regarding numbers and sometimes needs manual fixing.
- Open the inventory of the creature to see the current stat-values
- Open ARK Smart Breeding and go to the
Extractortab. - Choose the correct species and enter the level and the stat-values
- Click
Extract Level Distribution - Now you can see the wild and domesticated levelups of the different stats. If stats or controls are yellow or red, see below.
- Store your creature in the library to compare it to others and see which one is the best for your next breeding session.
A yellow stat means that there is no unique but multiple combination of wild and domesticated levels to get to the current value. Click on the yellow stat to get a list of all possible combinations in the right listbox. Choose the entry that is the correct one.
If you know that you never leveled up the stat, choose the entry that has 0 levels in the domesticated column. E.g. if you have Oxygen selected and know that you never leveled up this stat, the domesticated levels in that stat have to be equal to zero.
If you don't know how often you leveled up the stat, have a look at the sums under the stat-boxes and find the level-combinations that don't violate the conditions there.
If that doesn't help, a definitive way to find out the levels is to breed the creature with a creature you know the levels and then look at the levelups of the offspring. If it doesn't have inherited the levels of the known parent you now have the levels of your current creature.
If a stat or control is red, see Extraction issues.
