About this converter
ARK dino base Weight runs from 25 on the compy to 1600 on the brontosaurus in wild level 1 stats. Small starters cluster low: compy 25, dodo 50, pteranodon 120, raptor 140 and direwolf 170. Mid haulers sit in the hundreds: ankylosaurus 250, carnotaurus 300, spino 350, argentavis 400 and parasaur 480. Heavy fighters open at rex 500. The giganotosaurus breaks out at 700. The quetzal flies at 800. The brontosaurus tops the page at 1600. That makes one bronto equal sixty-four compys of carry capacity.
How to use it
Pick two dinos and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first dino, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds total weight in kilograms or pounds. Try brontosaurus at 1600 against compy at 25 for the widest gap, then rex at 500 against argentavis at 400. Click a table row to load that entry as Entry A with amount 1.
All values are wild level 1 base Weight from the official community wiki statistics table, before wild levels and taming. Weight is carry capacity, not body mass. Drag Weight is a separate stat for carrying corpses and stays out. Platform saddles add 33 percent of inventory weight from riders and structures, noted here as context only. Tek, X, Aberrant and alpha variants use separate rows and stay out to keep standard values clean.
