Cloning Chamber

The Tek Cloning Chamber is an end-game tool in ARK: Survival Evolved. It is used to duplicate creatures.

Usage
The Cloning Chamber is powered by the. Additionally, s are needed to clone creatures. The amount of Shards needed for cloning a creature depends on the creature type and creature level.

Cloning time ranges from a minimum of 40 minutes to a maximum of 4 days (times are approximate). Cloning time also depends on the type and level of the creature you want to clone. The cloning process is fully automatic and does not require any player actions during any part of the process, except at the start. You just need to place the creature on the platform. The "Clone..." options show the required amount of Element Shards. Once the shards are placed in the cloner's inventory you can start the process with the same option.

The inventory holds up to 48000 Element Shards, allowing Dinos up to level 450 to be cloned.

Formulas
The global multipliers can be found in the blueprint /Game/PrimalEarth/Structures/TekTier/TekCloningChamber.TekCloningChamber_C, the values per creature are located in their blueprint (..._Character_BP_C).

Cloning Costs
The Cloning Cost is calculated the following way:

$\frac{ElementCostPerLevel}{ElementCostPerLevelGlobalMultiplier} = CostPerLevel$

$CostPerLevel \times CharacterLevel = CostForLevel$

$BaseElementCostGlobalMultiplier \times BaseElementCost = BaseCost$

$CostForLevel \times BaseCost = Clone Cost$

Cloning Time
The Cloning Time is calculated the following way:

$Clone Cost \times \frac{TimePerElementShard}{BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier} = Cloning Time$

Calculator
You can check the cost and time you will need to clone your creature with the following table:

Bugs

 * When the generator powering the Tek Cloning Chamber has both Element and Element shards within it there is a bug that will cut the power for a split second when the generator switches between Element and Element Shards. This will cause your cloning process to stop. Avoid this by using one or the other in the generator, not both.
 * If you change your tribe name during the cloning process the cloning will stop
