Diplo Egg

Eggs from the Diplodocus

The Diplo Egg comes from the Diplodocus and the Aberrant Diplodocus in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended; the ARK Wiki says Diplodocus drop them at random. The game describes the egg this way: "Tremendously nourishing by itself, this egg provides regular nutritional value in many cooking recipes." It can be eaten on its own or used as a cooking ingredient.

Regular Kibble and taming

The wiki notes that the egg can be made into Regular Kibble. That kibble tames a long list of creatures, among them the Ankylosaurus, Baryonyx, Carnotaurus, Pteranodon, Sabertooth, Stegosaurus and Velonasaur, and creatures that take Simple Kibble or Basic Kibble accept it as well.

Collecting eggs near wild Diplodocus has a curious side effect: picking one up makes them notice you and try to nuzzle you.

Hatching a baby Diplodocus

When two Diplodocus mate, the egg they produce can hatch into a baby; the wiki lists the Fertilized Diplo Egg and the Fertilized Aberrant Diplo Egg as the fertilized variants. Hatching takes 4h 59m 58.561s, and the egg must be kept between 26 and 29 °C (79 to 84 °F), or it starts to lose health. An Egg Incubator held at the ideal temperature cuts that time by as much as 20%. After laying, a female needs between 18 hours and 2 days before she can lay again.

Weight and spoilage

Each egg weighs 15, so a full stack of 100 weighs 1500. An egg keeps for 8 days (192 hours) before it spoils. Our records place it on 8 maps: The Island, Aberration, Extinction, Lost Colony, The Center, Astraeos, Ragnarok and Valguero.
