Kibble (Carno Egg)

A Carno Egg kibble from the old system

Kibble (Carno Egg) dates from the time before the Homestead! Kibble Rework patch, which replaced the old kibble lineup of ARK: Survival Evolved on PC and consoles with quality-based types. It disappeared from PC with 293.100, from Xbox with 784.13 and from Playstation with 533.14, and the remastered Nintendo Switch edition removed it from 601.0. The ARK Wiki now files it as a Regular Kibble of ARK: Survival Evolved Mobile. Our database still holds rows for it in ASE and in ARK: Survival Ascended; for the kibble recipes that PC and console players use in both games today, the wiki points to its main Kibble page.

Feeding it during a tame

Its main use is feeding a creature that is being tamed, and its description explains the mix: "Includes plant fibers to help with digestion and egg to bind the mix." Compared with Berries or Meat, kibble pushes the taming meter up faster and loses less Taming Effectiveness, which means more bonus levels when the tame is done. On PC and console this variety was once the food for force-taming a Dire Bear, a Direwolf or a Trike, and Mobile still uses it for those three. Any other creature values it at only 66% of regular meat and berries, and the wiki advises against feeding it to them.

Crafting it on Mobile

PC and console players can no longer craft it in any way. On Mobile it still comes out of a Cooking Pot or an Industrial Cooker, and a TEK Kibble Processor can make it from any kibble that adds up to a value of 5. Mobile also has Super Kibble (Carno Egg) (Mobile): cooking it with a Super Fertilized Carno Egg (Mobile) in place of the normal Carno Egg gives a kibble that tames faster and with greater effectiveness.

Spoilage and weight

A piece of this kibble weighs 0.1 and stacks to 100, giving a full stack a weight of 10. It spoils in 72 hours, which is 3 days.
