This table is used by Module:TamingTable to display needed resources for taming. The names of the species are the common names, found on the dossier, the name in the favorite Kibble should be the one used in the name of the egg.

The field "eats" should contain only the commonly used foods, ordered from high to low efficiency.

The values can be found in the official Dev Kit of ARK in the following blueprints:

[Species]_Character_BP

key in this table	set to value from blueprint-key
affinityNeeded0	Required Tame Affinity
affinityIncrease	Required Tame Affinity Per Base Level
wakeFoodDeplMult	Waking Tame Food Consumption Rate Multiplier (only needed for non-violent taming)

DinoCharacterStatusComponent_BP_[Species]

key in this table	set to value from blueprint-key
foodConsumptionBase	Base Food Consumption Rate
foodConsumptionMult	Prone Water Food Consumption Multiplier
torpor1	Torpidity
torporIncrease	Torpidity * 0.06a
torporDepletionPS0	Knocked Out Torpidity Recovery Rate Multiplier * 0.1b
wakeAffinityMult	Waking Tame Food Affinity Multiplier (only needed for non-violent taming)

^a The value 0.06 comes from The Max Torpor Increase Per base Level and seems to be the same for all species. If not, adjust.
^b The value 0.1 comes from Recovery Rate Status Value and seems to be the same for all species. If not, adjust. Use the absolute of this value in the table here (in the blueprint a negative value is used because it's a decrease).

Preferred Food

key in this table	set to value
favoriteKibble	the favorite Kibble it eats
eats	a list of all food that should be shown

Special Food Values

Some species like some food more than other, resulting in different stats of this food for this species (e.g. the scorpion doesn't like Raw Meat that much as other species). Fill the numbers for this in the table specialFoodValues (as seen in the template below). If the species has no such specialties, omit this table.
