Dino Candy — Detailed Guide
Event candy that recolors a tame
Dino Candy is an event consumable that our records list for ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended; in ASE our record names it Crafted Summer Swirl Taffy. The in-game text reads: "Has a curious effect when consumed by a dinosaur." The ARK Wiki explains that a tame fed the candy takes on a random color pattern for 20 hours.
How the coloring works
- The candy shows the exact color it will put on each of the 6 color regions.
- Every grade other than Ascendant draws its colors from a set pool.
- It also gives the tame a short-lived boost to movement speed that grows with the grade: Ascendant Candy adds 15%, Mastercraft Candy 10% and Primitive Candy 5%.
- A
Spray Painter or Paint Brush loaded with Paint can still paint over the candy colors. - When the effect runs out, the tame goes back to its own colors; the same happens when it is stored in a
Cryopod and released. - Offspring of the tame do not inherit the candy colors.
Crafting time, weight and event limits
Our records and the ARK Wiki both give a crafting time of 5 seconds. The candy weighs 0.1 and stacks to 1. It does not stay in the game once its event is over: the wiki says it is removed for the time between events.
