Knockout tame. Edit the Use column to mix foods — the game eats the best food first, so the summary feeds your kibble/prime before filling the rest with meat. Sedatives shown keep it under for the whole tame; bring spares.
Taming math follows the ARK: Survival Ascended formulas. Server taming-speed presets rescale food and narcotic counts. Numbers assume a clean tame with no interruptions.
