Reads your ARK. Finds your dinos.

Need help locating your next high-stat tame for better dino breeding? Larkator uses your ARK save file to help you locate both wild and tamed creatures.

• Find both wild and tamed creatures
• Filter based on species, gender, min and max levels
• Show the results on a map with full coordinates
• Helps you find your lost tames
• Creature stats are shown to help you find that elusive next tame
• Automatically re-reads your save file when it changes
• Supports all six of the standard ARK maps

Larkator no longer requires ark-tools.

• Due to screen space only health, stamina, weight, damage and speed stats are shown

For full step-by-step installation instructions refer to the wiki.

• Select a filter on the left side of the window to show a map of the results. Details of the results are show on the right.
• Use your mouse's scroll wheel over a search filter's gender and level selector to change them.
• To add a new species click the big add button. Set a category name, the species and any other filters you would like then click add.
• Filters can be dragged around in the list to re-order or change categories.
• While ingame, use the command saveworld to force the game to save - Larkator will update immediately
• Locate that max-level Quetzal and go get it!
