Kibble (Dimetrodon Egg)

A kibble that left PC and console

Kibble (Dimetrodon Egg) is a regular kibble from ARK: Survival Evolved that can no longer be crafted on PC and console. The ARK Wiki records that it went away with the Homestead! Kibble Rework patch, which switched kibble over to quality-based types: on PC that was 293.100, on Xbox 784.13 and on Playstation 533.14. The Nintendo Switch edition dropped it as well when it was remastered, from 601.0. It lives on in ARK: Survival Evolved Mobile. 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."

Making and using it on Mobile

On Mobile it is still cooked in a Cooking Pot or an Industrial Cooker. The TEK Kibble Processor (Mobile) is a second route there, taking any kibble whose values add up to 5. As with other kibble, it is fed to a creature during taming: the wiki explains that kibble fills the taming meter faster than berries or meat and costs less taming effectiveness, which leaves more bonus levels once the tame is done.

On PC and console this kibble was once used to force-tame the Gallimimus, and Mobile players still use it for that. Any other creature values it at only 66% of regular meat and berries, and the wiki advises against feeding it to them.

Super Kibble on Mobile

Mobile also has Super Kibble (Dimetrodon Egg) (Mobile). It is cooked in the same stations, but a Super Fertilized Dimetrodon Egg (Mobile) replaces the usual Dimetrodon Egg, and the result tames creatures more quickly and with better taming effectiveness.

Weight and spoiling

Each piece weighs 0.1 and up to 100 share a stack, for a full-stack weight of 10. It spoils after 72 hours (3 days), and our records give a crafting time of 30 seconds.
