Tranq Arrow Wiki Page with Torpor Chart[ark.gamepedia.com]
Arrows/darts do both instant and over time torpor and the final total torpor values are not in line with your statement of 6x and 12x for the vanilla darts.
The vanilla tranq dart does a total of 221 torpor with a primitive weapon (100% damage stat) when you combine the instant and over time amounts. That is approximately 2.456 times the total torpor of a vanilla tranq arrow fired from a primitive bow (90 total torpor); not 6x.
The vanilla shock dart does a total of 442 torpor with a primitive weapon. That's 2 times the regular dart and approximately 4.9 times the basic tranq arrow and bow; not 12x.
Also, does your dart do both instant and over time torpor or only instant? What is the exact value of the torpor the dart does before the multiplier is applied? This information would be very helpful for balancing your mod around others.
I did not recheck my math but i will tell you how the calculations are done (unless they changed it recently)
Looking at the wiki link you provided, we look at the Damage column, first weapon damage is applied to that, the values you see are for 100% weapon.
We see tranq dart and refined tranq dart have 26 base damage, so does the appetizer dart.
For example a 200% rifle would do 52 damage with any dart.
Torpor values:
vanilla tranq dart: 52 x 6 (instant) + 2.5 x 52 (over 5 seconds)
appetizer dart: 52 x 9 (instant) + 3.75 x 52 (over 5 seconds)
refined tranq dart: 52 * 12 (instant) + 5 x 52 (over 5 seconds)
tranq arrows instantly increase the target's torpor by an amount equal to 200% of the weapon damage and give an additional amount of torpor equal to 250% of the weapon damage over the course of the next 4 seconds
P.S. The appetizer arrow also works on passive tamed dinos (does not do damage or torpor to them)
hope this helps
That said, could you add settings in the .ini for the multiplier to the over time component of the dart and the time span over which that torpor is delivered? That way people could choose to have the over time higher than the instant if they wanted.
TranqDartTimedReleaseMultiplier=3.75
TranqDartTimer=5
