How to Tame a Gacha in Ark — the Crystal-Making Passive

The Gacha is a passive tame that eats almost anything you drop on the ground beside it and converts it to Gacha crystals — a resource engine for your base. The tame is easy; the value is the farm it becomes. It only feeds when it is in a good mood, which means no other Gacha nearby.

Base stats from the official ARK wiki creature data. It does not use a specific kibble; the method decides the food.

The method, in one sentence

Passively feed it by dropping resources on the ground next to it; it consumes them and produces crystals once tamed.

That is the whole tame. Everything hard about it is in the execution.

Step by step

  1. Find one on Extinction. Gachas wander the surface and are passive, so the tame has no fight.
  2. Approach and begin the passive feed. It eats what you give it rather than a specific kibble.
  3. Drop suitable resources on the ground next to it. It converts them to crystals after taming, so feed it things you have spare — and only while it is a happy Gacha, which means no other Gacha nearby.
  4. Keep it calm. Like the other passive tames, force does nothing.
  5. Claim it and set up a crystal farm with the resources it likes.
