ARK Breeding Planner

ARK breeders chase top-stat, custom-coloured creatures through dozens of pairings, juggling spreadsheets to track which parent carries which stat and mutation. The game itself never shows the wild/domestic level breakdown that breeding decisions depend on.

A breeding companion for ARK: Survival Evolved and Ascended — extract the hidden level breakdown from a creature's stats, infer mutations from lineage, and plan multi-generation breeding and colour outcomes.
