Baryonyx Egg

Food, kibble and baby Baryonyx

Baryonyx Eggs are dropped by the Baryonyx and the Aberrant Baryonyx in ARK: Survival Ascended and ARK: Survival Evolved. The game describes them like this: "Tremendously nourishing by itself, this egg provides regular nutritional value in many cooking recipes." A survivor can eat one as it is or use it to make kibble.

Regular Kibble from this egg

The ARK Wiki lists this egg as an ingredient of Regular Kibble. That kibble is the taming food for creatures such as the Stegosaurus, Carnotaurus, Sabertooth, Pteranodon, Velonasaur and the Baryonyx itself, and creatures that eat Basic or Simple Kibble can take it as well.

Taking eggs without a fight

Wild Baryonyx drop eggs at random, but grabbing one while wild Baryonyx are nearby makes them hostile, and a mother whose egg was stolen keeps chasing the thief. Eggs can come from tamed Baryonyx as well, and a tamed female lets you pick up what she lays without turning aggressive. Keeping a male close for the Mate Boost, plus an Oviraptor, makes her lay more often.

Hatching a baby

Mating two Baryonyx produces an egg that can hatch into a baby. The wiki gives a hatch time of 1h 59m 59.424s. The egg needs between 29 and 35 °C (84 to 95 °F); outside that range it begins to lose health. An Egg Incubator set to the best temperature can shorten incubation by up to 20%. After laying, a female has to wait from 18h to 2d before she can lay again. The wiki also lists two fertilized variants, the Fertilized Baryonyx Egg and the Fertilized Aberrant Baryonyx Egg.

Weight, stacking and spoilage

One egg weighs 7 and up to 100 share a stack, so a full stack weighs 700. Eggs spoil after 192 hours, which is 8 days. Our records place them on 7 maps: The Island, The Center, Aberration, Extinction, Ragnarok, Valguero and Astraeos.
