Gacha Taming Details
Gacha is a passive tame — feed it Kibble (preferred) or Crops by hand or from its inventory without knocking it out. Its most effective taming food is Kibble (preferred) or Crops.
Alternative foods: Mejoberry, Other berries, Fresh Vegetables.
Harvest yield: a tamed or killed Gacha drops Raw Meat, Hide.
Taming Steps
1. Prepare your gear
Bring Kibble (preferred) or Crops, bug repellent (if applicable), and a shield for emergencies.
2. Locate the creature
Find a wild Gacha on supported maps. Check the spawn map and bring a fast mount or a flyer for transport.
3. Approach passively
Gacha is a passive tame. Approach slowly with no weapons drawn, drop or hand-feed its preferred food, and avoid sudden movements.
4. Feed the right food
Place Kibble (preferred) or Crops in its inventory (alternatives: Mejoberry, Other berries, Fresh Vegetables). Higher-tier food gives faster taming and higher level bonuses.
5. Maintain torpor
Keep wild predators away — passive tames are vulnerable while feeding.
6. Claim & saddle
Once tamed, equip a saddle (unlocks via the engram tab) to ride your Gacha.

Gacha — Background & Lore
The Gacha is a docile Extinction herbivore that turns items into 
Gacha Crystals. Feed it stacks of the same item and it grows crystals that open into resources or random gear. That makes it one of the most useful resource spawners in the game.
Where to find it
- ASA: Extinction and Astraeos.
- ASE: Extinction and Genesis Part 2, and it is notably frequent on Fjordur.
Taming
A passive tame. Find a happy Gacha, because it will not tame if other Gachas were near it recently. Drop items on the ground in front of it and it eats them. Stacks of structures work best. 
Metal Foundations are the common choice and 
Tek Foundations are the most efficient. It cannot be tamed while unconscious.
Breeding
- Gestation: live birth after about 7.9 hours.
- Growth: a baby matures in about 4.8 days at 1x.
- Food: feed babies meat, not berries.
Uses
It makes a crystal after eating 20 of the same item. Plain crystals give a basic resource, and glowing ones give random armor, weapons or tools. Each Gacha has its own set of six resource types. The saddle unlocks at level 38, and its high carry weight makes it a decent hauler.
Tips
A Crafting Skill around 160% is reported to give the best resource output. Higher values push it toward loot instead.
