Immersive Taming Mod

is a game modification (mod) used on PTC's Ark (Ragnarok map) server because it allows you to tame a dino without drugging them and tapping your foot and looking at your watch until it wakes up as your new best friend. As far as the functionality goes, it's not unlike a mashup of classic taming with less violence and rearing baby dinos in a hatchery without any starvation risks.

Features
This one is complex, so see the official mod page on Steam for full details. Watching some videos should help demystify the process or you can try it out with a fun, easy tame like a dodo.
 * The benefits can be summed up as:


 * A taming journal (looks like an open book) with a list dinos and what it takes to tame them that you can place near you inside the game. Duh, why is this not part of the base game, right?
 * Less reliance on insane amounts of narcoberries is great. Instead, you can use a variety of baits made from the same things you'd force feed the drugged dinos.
 * You won't lose the level-increase to damage from shooting the dinos in the face, as you do with the standard method.
 * Less boring than typical taming.
 * Tame multiple dino at once --or even accidentally. Opps! Guess you have a pet compy now!
