Kibble (Ankylo Egg)

A kibble retired on PC and console

Kibble (Ankylo Egg) still has item records in our database for ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended, but the ARK Wiki describes it as a kibble that PC and console players can no longer craft by any means. It was taken out by the Homestead! Kibble Rework patch, which switched kibble to quality-based types: PC lost it with patch 293.100, Xbox with 784.13 and Playstation with 533.14. The remastered Nintendo Switch edition dropped it from 601.0. It lives on in ARK: Survival Evolved Mobile, where it is a regular kibble.

How it worked in taming

Kibble is fed to a creature during taming: it fills the taming meter faster than berries or meat and loses less taming effectiveness, which means more extra levels once the tame is done. On PC and console this kibble was once used to force-tame the Carno, and Mobile still uses it for that. Other creatures value it at only 66% of plain meat and berries, and the wiki advises against using it on them.

Cooking it on Mobile

On Mobile the kibble can still be cooked in a Cooking Pot or an Industrial Cooker, or made in the TEK Kibble Processor from any kibble adding up to a value of 5. Mobile also has Super Kibble (Ankylo Egg), cooked the same way with a Super Fertilized Ankylo Egg in place of the normal Ankylo Egg; it speeds up taming and gives better taming effectiveness.

Weight and spoiling in our records

Our item records give it a weight of 0.1 and a stack size of 100, so a full stack weighs 10, and a spoil time of 3 days (72 hours). The in-game text opens with: "This pet food recipe has been carefully designed to give balanced nutrition to almost any creature native to the island."
