Formula Used

Penalty stats: infected value = normal value × (1 - 0.20 × effect strength).

Movement speed: infected speed = normal speed × (1 + 0.20 × effect strength).

Food, water, and oxygen: infected rate = normal rate × consumption multiplier.

Reserve time: reserve time = current pool ÷ drain per minute.

Carry margin: carry margin = weight limit - current inventory weight.

Trip estimate: infected trip time = normal trip time ÷ movement speed ratio.

How to Use This Calculator

Enter your normal survivor stats first. Add melee and movement as percentages. Enter current food, water, and oxygen pools. Add each drain rate per minute. Enter inventory weight to check if Swamp Fever makes the load unsafe. Use effect strength at 100 for the standard effect. Change it for custom servers or modded values. Press calculate. The result appears above the form and below the header.

Example Data Table

Input	Example Value	Reason
Health	200	Tests combat survival loss.
Weight	350	Checks reduced carry room.
Movement Speed	112%	Shows the speed boost result.
Food Drain	0.25 per minute	Estimates resource reserve time.
Inventory Weight	180	Finds safe load margin.

Swamp Fever Stat Planning

Swamp Fever changes a survivor’s numbers in a direct way. It can help speed, yet it hurts core survival strength. This calculator turns those changes into clear values. You can enter your normal ARK stats, current resource drains, and trip needs. The result shows the infected value, the gain or loss, and the percentage difference.

Why This Matters

Small stat changes can matter during a cave run, swamp trip, raid scout, or emergency cure plan. A twenty percent loss in health can decide whether you survive one more hit. A twenty percent loss in weight can force you to drop tools. A stamina drop can limit escape routes. Melee loss can change close combat plans. Speed may rise, but that boost does not remove the danger.

Better Load Decisions

The weight section helps you compare carry room before and after infection. Enter your normal weight and current inventory load. The tool shows the remaining margin. If the infected margin is low, remove metal, spare armor, or extra weapons before leaving base. This is useful for solo players and tribe runners.

Resource Forecasting

Food, water, and oxygen rates can be checked with your own values. The calculator can use the standard consumption change or a custom direction. This helps when servers, mods, or old notes use different settings. You can estimate minutes before a resource becomes unsafe. That makes underwater travel and long scouting paths easier to judge.

Using Results Safely

Treat every output as a planning estimate. Server rates, mods, armor, soups, weather, and map settings can shift real play. Use the table as a quick guide, not as a promise. Export the results before a raid or cave route. Share the CSV with tribe members. Save the PDF when comparing builds. After cure, your normal stat values return, so the lost amount becomes your recovery amount.

Practical Tip

Run one calculation for your normal build. Then run another with travel gear, weapons, and supplies included. The comparison shows if the infected survivor can still move, fight, breathe, and carry safely. Also test a cured run afterward. It proves how much comfort returns when health, stamina, weight, and melee damage recover fully again for safer planning.

FAQs

1. What does this calculator measure?

It measures how Swamp Fever changes survivor stats. It compares normal values with infected values. It also estimates carry margin, resource reserve time, and trip time.

2. What effect strength should I use?

Use 100 percent for the standard effect. Change it only when your server, mod, or rule set uses different values.

3. Why is movement speed higher?

Swamp Fever can raise movement speed while reducing several survival stats. The calculator shows both sides, so you can avoid reading speed as pure benefit.

4. Why is carry margin important?

Weight is reduced during infection. A safe normal load may become unsafe. The carry margin tells you if your current inventory is still practical.

5. Can this calculate cure recovery?

Yes. The change column shows the lost amount. When cured, those reduced stats return toward the normal values entered in the form.

6. Why include food, water, and oxygen?

Those rates affect travel and underwater plans. Enter your own drain values to estimate how long each resource may last.

7. Does this replace in-game testing?

No. It is a planning helper. Server rates, mods, armor, weather, buffs, and map settings can change real results.

8. How do I export results?

Use the CSV button for spreadsheet data. After calculating, use the PDF button to save a simple report for sharing or planning.
