Kentro Egg

Where Kentro Eggs come from

Kentrosaurus drop Kentro Eggs at random in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. The eggs are edible, and the item text reads "Tremendously nourishing by itself, this egg provides regular nutritional value in many cooking recipes." Pick one up near wild Kentrosaurus, though, and they turn hostile and go for the survivor.

Turning eggs into kibble

Besides being eaten, the egg goes into Regular Kibble. The ARK Wiki names the creatures tamed with that kibble, for instance the Doedicurus, Baryonyx, Kaprosuchus, Purlovia, Lymantria and the Kentrosaurus itself, and it also suits creatures that take Basic Kibble or Simple Kibble.

From egg to baby

An egg from a mated pair of Kentrosaurus can hatch into a baby. The wiki puts the incubation at 2h 46m 39.2s, and the egg needs a temperature between 24 and 30 °C (75 to 86 °F); outside that band it starts to lose health. An Egg Incubator at the ideal temperature shortens the wait by up to 20%. After laying, a female takes 18h to 2d before she can lay another egg. The wiki also lists a Fertilized Kentro Egg as a variant.

Carrying and storage

At 6.5 per egg and 100 per stack, a full stack weighs 650. An egg spoils after 8 days (192 hours). Our records list it on 8 maps, among them The Island, Scorched Earth, Lost Colony and Ragnarok, and the wiki dates it to patch 257.0.
