Good to hear it worked. As said the OCR is not always correct, always have an eye on what it does Right, that sounds like a first simplification. When I first thought about the process of converting my thinking of what the best breeding-pair would be to an algorithm I was surprised how easy it seems for a human to see the best pairing of a couple of creatures and how complicated it is for an algorithm. The different algorithms are mostly based on the 70% probability for the higher stat to be inherited by the offspring, and it weights them much higher, if the stat is one of the top-stats of the creatures in this species. But then it pretty fast all gets covered in the cloudy dust of probabilities that are difficult to grasp due to the sheer quantity of possibilities.

@Zera I can't recognize it very well, I think you are in the "Quick Wild-creature Check"-mode, which won't work with non-wild creatures. Uncheck this (top-right), select "Tamed" and then hit Extract Levels.

Hi, can you post a screenshot of that anky that causes the tool to skip the HP? Did you make sure the selected species was correct? Hi, yes, basically that's how it works. The breeding plan works in slightly different ways, depending on the mode you've chosen (Top stats conservative, Top stats lucky and High stats in next gen). For getting a creature that has only the best possible stats, the first breeding-mode is the best in most cases. It does taking into account which stat-combinations are not yet in your library and are probably the ones you want. But it does only check this for the next generation. You're right, an optimal breeding-planner would consider all possibilities until the generation a perfect offspring could be born, and this is an extremely complex process, the possiblities are growing exponential. Each creature pair has up to 2^7 = 128 possible offsprings, so after 7 generations 2^7^7 = 562949953421312 creatures and all the possiblity to get to them would have to be considered. Probably an interesting mathematical problem, and I'm sure that could be simplified a lot. Currently it's not on the todo-list to enhance the suggestions. In the end you get one baby, and all the probabilities doesn't matter anymore once you got it, the suggestions are there to make sure you breed the pair that has the highest probability of getting a nice offspring. In some cases the breeding planner does suggest something obviously sub-optimal, so don't hesitate to ignore the order. In most cases though the top-suggestions are correct. If you have a good idea on how to predict good pairings that are not yet included, feel free to let me know. If you're a bit in programming, have a look at the algorithm that determines the best pairs here: https://github.com/cadon/ARKStatsExtractor/blob/master/ARKBreedingStats/BreedingPlan.cs#L142

Hi, I haven't personally tried the equus, so there might be errors. Make sure all the multipliers are set correctly if you're on an unofficial server. The OCR-feature has issues when used with multiple monitors, I'm not sure how to solve that, currently I've no multi-screen-setup.

The new inventory doesn't show any info about the current maturing-progress anymore (before it could be calculated by using the weight of the baby). The percentage is shown outside the inventory if you look on a creature, so you can use that percentage to manually calculate the growing time.

The OCR is not always correct, in some cases you have to correct it manually. It's a complex process. You can adjust the multipliers in the settings. Which update do you mean, or which feature do you expect to be released?

Yes, I hope the new design will improve the recognition. I'm working on an update.

Sorry for not replying sooner. It's a known issue, I haven't been able to reproduce yet. It seems the mechanism of the tool of taking a screenshot does not always use the set resolution. Is your native resolution of the monitor different to 1920 x 1080? Some user reported that taking a manual screenshot with steam (pressing F12) produces a screenshot in the correct resolution (1920x1080), which can be used in the tool by drag&drop it on the extractor-tab.

Hi, I haven't tested this with a multi-screen-setup. The idea is to enable the overlay (the button is on the top-right in the tool, after you enabled the OCR). If the microphone-icon (also in the top-right) is red, it's listening to species-names, and if it recognizes one (you have to use the names that the tool uses, e.g. Triceratops, not Trike) and you also say a level-number (e.g. "Triceratops 40"), it'll show the info on the top right in the game. With multiple monitors it probably also will work if you don't enable the overlay, but just go to the taming-tab in the tool and then tell the tool the species and level.

Hi @vanghern, sorry for the late reply. The issue with the dinos you can't extract is most likely due to a wrong multiplier-setting of the BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier or the BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier. These settings in the tool have to match the ones on the server when the baby was born, even if the multipliers where changed in the meantime. The first Ptera can be extracted with a taming effectiveness of ~20%. If the imprinting-progress is corrected by the tool, one of the beforementioned multipliers is not correct for that creature, the tool always chooses the nearest possible value. Is there any error-message if you drag'n'drop the settings-file on the settings-info? The cursor should change and after releasing the file it should parse the file. Copying to tester / extractor without the Creature-Info: I'll fix that, thanks for noting that. Wrong taming-effectiveness: can you post a screenshot with a creature where the extractor shows a wrong TE? Double suggestion-window: I'll look into that. Extra Tribe-field for creatures: I'll put it on the todo list. Thanks for the feedback and suggestions!

New Update with raising-tab. It lists all your Eggs / Gestations and Babies with according timers and needed food. You can now also enable speech-recognition and by saying e.g. "Stegosaurus level 40" it will display basic taming info directly in an overlay in the game.

Hi, sometimes it doesn't work if you have multiple monitors. Also, is there anything usefull written in the OCR-output (in the OCR-tab, right of the pink rectangle)?

Yes, after downloading the newest version you can overwrite / replace the old version of the program and open your library like before.

Hi, you can find the newest version always with this link: https://github.com/cadon/ARKStatsExtractor/releases/latest If the program detects that a new update is available, it should show a message-box that will open the browser with the correct page.

Hi, it's not possible to see directly from the stats how many mutations a creature has, because mutated stats are just increased ones. The only way I know how you can see the mutation-counter is if you bred it and look at the family-tree in-game. Smart Breeding can detect mutations if you select the parents for a creature and there are discrepancies in the stats in that way, that in a stat the offspring has exactly two levels more than a parent. Then it's marked with a green circle in the pedigree-view, the mutation-counter has to be set manually, because there also can be increases of the mutation-counter without visible stat-mutations (e.g. if both parents have a mutation in the same stat, only one of these stats is inherited, but both mutation-counters are added to the offspring).

Thanks for that, it'll be fixed soon. As a workaround you can temporarily enable the checkbox "Enable Oxygen for all Species" in the settings for extracting Diplocaulus.

Hi, I know, the OCR is not optimal. Improving the OCR is tough, not sure if I invest more time in that. For most things it works. Thanks for the note about the Troodons, I haven't looked in that mechanic yet, I'll put it on the todo-list. Hi, some people reported that with multiple monitors the OCR doesn't work. Currently I've only once screen, so I can't test this. You can try to change the display-mode to "Fullscreen-windowed", maybe that does work. And maybe it's relevant on which screen ARK does run.

The other calculators are only for wild creatures. If you use it for tamed or bred creatures, they display too high level-values in damage.

Hi, the automatic reading-function does only work with a resolution of 1920x1080 or 1680x1050 (not so well), other resolutions are not supported. If the stats are red, you probably have the wrong multipliers in the settings. Hi, there are too many ways the multipliers can be set. I recommend to ask the admin for the multipliers, the file isn't necessary, it just makes it easier.

Which ones?

I understand. For using a library-file with multiple users, you (and your friends) have to enable the "Autosave" and "Autoload" feature in the settings. You then have to save the library-file in a shared folder (e.g. google-drive, dropbox etc.) and your friends have to load that file. Be sure to make a backup first incase someone forgets to enable these settings and accidentally overwrites something. If you have different creatures in the library, you first have to merge the files. To do this, load one file, then choose "Load and Add..." in the file-menu to add another library file to create the merged file that can be used in the shared folder.

Hi, I'll think about improving that, maybe I'll get it to work language-independant. The tool cannot notice and add a creature automatically after it's tamed, it always has to be extracted and added manually. Or do you mean the "owner"-field should have the name of the player automatically filled in?

Hi, yes, you can save the library-file in a shared folder, so you can edit it with your tribe-mates simultaneously. Just make sure, all participants enable the "autosave"- and "autoload"-options in the settings. The message regarding the save-location is probably from windows, the tool doesn't make a check where you save the file, it doesn't matter for it. The OCR-feature (the "Read values from ARK") isn't working on resolutions different than 1920x1080 or 1680x1050, sorry.

Yes, go to the settings and adjust the multipliers there.

To be honest that were only a couple lines of code. I didn't realize before that each caring-action gives exactly the same amount of imprinting-bonus and that this can be calculated from the maturing time. With these numbers for each species the exact increase can be calculated, which gives some odd numbers with a lot of decimals, but once you got them, it's pretty easy to consider them during the extraction process.
