Kibble (Bronto Egg)

Kibble (Bronto Egg) after the kibble rework

Our database keeps rows for Kibble (Bronto Egg) in both ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended, but the ARK Wiki tells a different story for PC and console. There, this kibble type lasted until the Homestead! Kibble Rework patch changed kibble to quality-based types: on PC with 293.100, on Playstation with 533.14 and on Xbox with 784.13. The remastered Nintendo Switch edition also dropped it, as of 601.0. The wiki now counts it as an Exceptional Kibble of ARK: Survival Evolved Mobile.

The item description: "This pet food recipe has been carefully designed to give balanced nutrition to almost any creature native to the island. Includes plant fibers to help with digestion and egg to bind the mix. Humans have difficulty digesting this."

Taming with it

Its main use is feeding a creature during a tame. Next to Berries or Meat, it fills the taming meter faster and costs less Taming Effectiveness, which leaves the finished tame with more bonus levels. On PC and console this kibble was once used to force-tame a Sabertooth, and it still has that role on Mobile. Any other creature values it at only 66% of regular meat and berries, and the wiki does not recommend it for them.

Crafting it today

On PC and console it can no longer be crafted at all. Mobile players can still cook it in a Cooking Pot or an Industrial Cooker, or get it from a TEK Kibble Processor by putting in any kibble that adds up to a value of 15. Mobile also has Super Kibble (Bronto Egg), cooked in the same two stations with a Super Fertilized Bronto Egg in place of the normal Bronto Egg; it tames faster and gives higher Taming Effectiveness.

Weight and spoil time

Our records give each piece a weight of 0.1 and a stack size of 100, so a full stack weighs 10. It spoils after 72 hours, or 3 days.
