The VR Pachy reproduces by laying fertilized eggs after mating.Incubation temperature must stay between 24°C and 28°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range.At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 1 hour and 25 minutes.

The baby VR Pachy takes approximately 1 day and 2 hours to fully mature at default rates - over a lengthy period.During the baby phase (0–10%), hand-feed it directly.From 10% onward (juvenile), it can eat from a Feeding Trough.

Mutations can add +2 levels to any stat and change colors.Stacking mutations across generations is the key to min-maxed breeding lines.Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.

Raising a baby VR Pachy involves three maturation phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~159 min and requires constant hand-feeding.Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~11h - it can eat from a Trough now.Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~13h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.

Don't skip imprinting - each successful imprint boosts the VR Pachy's stats, and hitting 100% grants a 30% combat bonus when the imprinter rides it.Imprint requests include cuddling, walks, and specific kibble - check the wiki for which kibble to stockpile.

Planning a mass raise?The VR Pachy raising calculator breaks down food needs per phase so nothing goes to waste.Expect ~159 minutes of active care during the Baby phase before it graduates to trough-feeding as a Juvenile.

Adjust the dino count to calculate food for multiple VR Pachy babies at once - essential for batch breeding operations.Match your food choice to your play schedule - longer spoil timers mean less babysitting.

The VR Pachy, a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a common sight across multiple maps.Classified under the Variant group.

Dealing 100% base Melee Damage, the VR Pachy brings respectable melee power to the table.At 165 base HP, the VR Pachy is relatively fragile.Its base Stamina of 150 gives it decent staying power.Weight capacity starts at 150, giving it a reasonable inventory size.

Taming the VR Pachy requires rendering it unconscious first - use Tranq Arrows, Darts, or Shocking Tranq Darts to apply torpor.Feed it Simple Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.

Once tamed, the VR Pachy can serve multiple roles depending on how you level its stats after taming.It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 24°C and 28°C.It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.12 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
