Compy Egg

An egg dropped by Compys

Compys drop this egg at random in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. Its in-game text: "Tremendously nourishing by itself, this egg provides simple nutritional value in many cooking recipes." Survivors can eat it or use it for Simple Kibble.

What its kibble tames

The ARK Wiki lists creatures tamed with Simple Kibble, among them the Triceratops, Raptor, Pachy, Iguanodon, Ichthyosaurus, Giant Bee and Megaloceros. Simple Kibble also works for anything that eats Basic Kibble.

Breeding and hatching

The wiki also records a Fertilized Compy Egg variant. When two Compys mate, the egg they produce can hatch into a baby Compy. Hatching takes 49m 59.76s, and the egg needs a temperature between 24 and 32 °C (75 to 90 °F), or it starts losing health. An Egg Incubator kept at the ideal temperature can cut the time by up to 20%. A female Compy can lay again after 18 hours to 2 days. Taking an egg while wild Compys are around turns them hostile, and they will attack.

Weight and spoilage

Each egg weighs 3 and a stack holds 100, for a full stack weight of 300. It spoils after 8 days (192 hours). Our records list it on 7 maps, among them The Island, The Center, Ragnarok, Valguero and Extinction.
