Kibble (Compy Egg)

A kibble from the old system

Our ARK: Survival Evolved records still list Kibble (Compy Egg), but the ARK Wiki explains that PC and console players lost it with the Homestead! Kibble Rework, which moved kibble to types based on quality. PC lost it in patch 293.100, Xbox in 784.13 and Playstation in 533.14, and the remastered Nintendo Switch edition dropped it from 601.0 onward. It lives on in ARK: Survival Evolved Mobile, where it counts as a Basic Kibble.

Its role in taming

Kibble beats berries and meat as taming food: the meter fills faster and less taming effectiveness is lost, which means more bonus levels when the tame completes. On PC and console this kibble was once used for forced Kentrosaurus tames. Mobile still uses it for that, and also for forcefully taming an Iguanodon or a Pelagornis. For other creatures it is worth only 66% of regular meat and berries, and the wiki does not recommend it there.

Crafting it on Mobile

PC and console players cannot craft it by any means. On Mobile it is cooked in a Cooking Pot or an Industrial Cooker, and the TEK Kibble Processor can also make it from any kibble that adds up to a value of 1. Putting a Super Fertilized Compy Egg (Mobile) in place of the normal Compy Egg gives Super Kibble (Compy Egg) (Mobile), which tames creatures faster and with greater effectiveness.

What our records show

The stored values are a weight of 0.1 and a stack size of 100 (10 for a full stack), a spoil time of 72 hours, or 3 days, and a crafting time of 30 seconds. They list 6 maps, including The Island, Extinction and Lost Island. The in-game description reads: "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."
