Kibble (Kaprosuchus Egg)

Kaprosuchus kibble after the kibble rework

Kibble (Kaprosuchus Egg) is an egg kibble that our database lists for ARK: Survival Evolved. The ARK Wiki now files it as a regular kibble of ARK: Survival Evolved Mobile, and its infobox gives 252.0 as the version that added the item. On PC and consoles it went away with the Homestead! Kibble Rework patch, which moved kibble to quality-based types. That patch came as Playstation (533.14), Xbox (784.13) and PC (293.100), and the Nintendo Switch edition dropped it from version 601.0 of its remastered release.

The description reads: "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."

Where it can still be made

PC and console players can no longer craft it in any way. On Mobile it is still cooked in a Cooking Pot or an Industrial Cooker, and a TEK Kibble Processor can produce it from any combination of kibble adding up to a value of 5. Mobile also has Super Kibble (Kaprosuchus Egg): it is cooked with a Super Fertilized Kaprosuchus Egg (Mobile) in place of the normal Kaprosuchus Egg, and it tames creatures faster and with higher taming effectiveness.

Its value for taming

Kibble in general raises the taming meter faster than berries or meat and lowers taming effectiveness less, which ends in more extra levels for the tame. This particular kibble, though, is the preferred food of no creature. Any other creature values it at only 66% of regular meat and berries, and the wiki advises against feeding it to them. Its notes also say this kibble, and its Super version on Mobile, was never used to tame any creature efficiently in any release.

Weight and spoiling

A piece weighs 0.1, a stack holds 100 and a full stack weighs 10. It spoils after 72 hours, or 3 days.
