NeverWhere ARK Taming Data

This repo is a data-only source for an ARK taming calculator.

• ✅ Easy to maintain: one creature / food / weapon per file
• ✅ Validated: JSON Schema + CI
• ✅ Consumable: builds a single dist/bundle.json for frontends to fetch

Quick start

# 1) install
npm i

# 2) validate all data files
npm run validate

# 3) build dist/bundle.json
npm run build

# 4) serve dist/ locally (optional)
npm run serve

Repo layout

data/
  creatures/   # one creature per file
  foods/       # one food per file
  weapons/     # KO methods (damage/torpor/time/damageTypes)
  narcotics/   # narcotic methods (torpor/time/rate)
  globals/     # settings, enums
schema/        # JSON schemas
scripts/       # validate + build bundle
dist/          # generated bundle outputs

Data rules

• Each JSON file must include an id (lowercase snake_case recommended).
• Keep human-friendly names in name.en / name.zh.
• Do not hand-edit dist/. It is generated by npm run build.

Output bundle

npm run build produces:

• dist/bundle.json
• dist/bundle.min.json
• dist/manifest.json (hashes + timestamp)

Frontends should fetch bundle.json and optionally verify hashes using manifest.json.
