Kibble (Archaeopteryx Egg)

A kibble from before the rework

Kibble (Archaeopteryx Egg) is a kibble type from ARK: Survival Evolved that today lives on in the Mobile version. Its in-game text: "This pet food recipe has been carefully designed to give balanced nutrition to almost any creature native to the island. Includes the best protein, plant fibers to help with digestion, and egg to bind the mix. Humans have difficulty digesting this." On PC and console it could be made until the Homestead! Kibble Rework patch switched kibble to types based on quality: on PC with 293.100, on Xbox with 784.13 and on Playstation with 533.14. The remastered Nintendo Switch edition dropped it as of 601.0.

Still made on Mobile

In ARK: Survival Evolved Mobile, the ARK Wiki now classes it as a Simple Kibble. There it can still be crafted in a Cooking Pot or an Industrial Cooker, or produced in the TEK Kibble Processor from any mix of kibble worth a value of 3. On PC and console it can no longer be crafted by any means. Mobile also has a Super Kibble version, made with a Super Fertilized Archaeopteryx Egg (Mobile) in place of the regular egg, which speeds up taming and gives better taming effectiveness.

Taming with it

Kibble lifts the taming meter faster than berries or meat and costs less taming effectiveness along the way, which means more extra levels when the tame is done. This one was once used to force-tame the Diplocaulus on PC and console, and on Mobile it is still used for that. For any other creature it is worth only 66% of regular meat and berries, and the wiki advises against using it for them.

Values on record

Our ASE records keep the item with a weight of 0.1, a stack size of 100 (a full stack weighs 10) and a spoil time of 3 days, or 72 hours.
