I've create a simple overaly in C# to avoid Alt-Tab all the time since taming and other game mechanics can be a bit time consuming.
Since ArkOverlay doesn't hook into the game itself and is simply an window that is placed above Ark Survival Evolved there shouldn't be any risks of being banned just remember to run the game in borderless window mode.
Features
- Bind a key to access the Overlay*
- Map functionality, built with leaflet.js (Map Credits, here)
- Change Opacity of the main overlay window and child windows**
- Time, CPU Usage & Memory Usage
- Built-in browser***
- Crafting, Cooking, Engrams and Taming data****
** = No restart required
*** = GeckoFX and Xulrunner
**** = The data directory contains all the data files, you can access them
with Notepad, Notepad++ or with Excel by putting sep=;
on the first line (don't forget to remove it when done editing).

Known bugs
