If you are new to Ark, your best friend will be the Ark Wiki!
http://ark.gamepedia.com/ARK_Survival_Evolved_WikiWe are a modded server, however, a lot is still useful here! Use it for you kibble & dye recipes as well as crafting the original ark content and learn about the dinos in the game (except the dragons that roam our land! on your own there!)
Another great resource is Crumplecorn!
http://crumplecorn.com/taxonomy/term/6/This website will aid you in how long it will take to tame a dinosaur
(remember we got 4x taming speed!) and also it has a breeding calculator
(all breeding stats are x2!)
