Breeding / Karkinos

Karkinos Breeding Calculator

The Karkinos is a giant crab valued for carrying other creatures and enabling powerful harvesting setups. It is commonly used to support metal runs and heavy transport.

Assumptions

Juvenile starts at 10% maturation.

Food spoils at normal inventory rate (multiplier 1).

Discrete eating threshold of 20 hunger.

Simulation horizon is capped at 3 days.

Does not model nursing/feeding from nearby creatures.

Planning

Reference time

If progress is 0%, this is egg/gestation start. If > 0%, this is the time at the current progress.

Cuddle interval multiplier

Base cuddle interval is 8h (ASA)

Imprint amount multiplier

Current imprint (%)

Estimate: in-game rounds

Calendar

Set a start time above to see calendar timestamps.

Imprinting (estimate)

Cuddles remaining

14 total from birth

Imprint per cuddle

7.2%

Current imprint: ~0%

100% still possible: Yes (needs ~14 cuddles)

Set a start time above to see a cuddle schedule.

Notes

This is an estimate based on maturation time, a base cuddle interval, and the multipliers above.

Schedule is offset by the current maturation progress.

In-game rounding and special cases may change exact cuddle counts.

Food estimate

Estimates are in items (rounded up). Consumption speed affects this table.

Food	To juvenile (remaining)	To adult (remaining)	To adult (total)
Raw Fish Meat (Carrion)	8,517	46,906	46,906
Raw Meat (Carrion)	4,259	23,453	23,453
Spoiled Meat	1,278	7,036	7,036
