ARK Taming Calculator
A live calculator built entirely from Wikily variables. Pick a creature and level - every food it eats is listed below with the amount, taming time, effectiveness and narcotics needed, and the whole table recomputes in your browser as you change the inputs. The model is one variable - a Lua script that reads the creatures dataset, one row per creature; nothing is hard-coded into the page.
Taming Dodo (Knockout) at level 150: base torpor 299, tamed level about 224 with the best food.

The four controls are reader-input variables. The results come from a derived variable named tame, a Lua script that reads the creatures dataset - one row per creature, holding its stats and food list - plus those inputs, and returns the amount, time, effectiveness, narcotics and icon for every food. The data lives in the dataset, not the script: swap the dataset and the same tame works for any creature set. Because it reads the inputs, every token recomputes live.
