Calculator guide
Using the crafting queue
Search for an ARK item and enter the quantity you want to craft. The queue keeps each item separate; Materials combines shared ingredients into one gathering list.
Enable Raw materials to expand crafted components into their ingredients. Save a blueprint to reuse a base, saddle, ammunition, or equipment plan.
For custom recipes, choose your server's crafting list in Settings. The calculator does not automatically read server settings or blueprint quality.

Recipe coverage and accuracy
Arkbuddy uses one recipe catalog for ARK: Survival Ascended and Survival Evolved, not separately verified datasets. Some newer items, mods, and game-specific changes may be missing. Check important costs against the recipe in your game.
Quantities multiply each listed ingredient cost. Raw materials recursively expands craftable ingredients; alternatives such as Wood or Fungal Wood remain labeled as alternatives. Custom crafting lists replace matching recipes.
Report an incorrect recipe with the item name, game version, server or mod settings, and the costs shown in-game.
