Kibble (Lystrosaurus Egg)

Lystrosaurus egg kibble and the kibble rework

Kibble (Lystrosaurus Egg) is a kibble from the system ARK: Survival Evolved used on PC and consoles until the Homestead! Kibble Rework patch moved kibble to quality-based types; on PC that change came with patch 293.100. The Nintendo Switch edition dropped it in its remastered version from 601.0. The ARK Wiki now lists it as a Basic Kibble of ARK: Survival Evolved Mobile. Its in-game text presents it as balanced pet food for almost any creature, with plant fibers to aid digestion and egg to hold the mix together, and ends with a warning: "Humans have difficulty digesting this."

Taming with it

Kibble is fed to creatures during taming. Compared with Berries or Meat, it pushes the taming meter up faster and costs less Taming Effectiveness, which leads to more bonus levels when the tame completes. On PC and console this kibble was once used to tame a Diplodocus, both by force-taming and passively, and on Mobile it still fills both roles. Any other creature values it at only 66% of regular Meat and Berries, and the wiki advises against using it on them.

Crafting it now

On PC and console the kibble cannot be crafted by any means today. On Mobile it is cooked in a Cooking Pot or an Industrial Cooker, and the TEK Kibble Processor (Mobile) can make it from any kibble that adds up to a value of 1. Mobile also offers Super Kibble (Lystrosaurus Egg), made by swapping the normal Lystro Egg for a Super Fertilized Lystrosaurus Egg (Mobile); it speeds up taming and gives greater taming effectiveness. The wiki also notes some confusion about the berry the recipe takes: some players report that it works with Tintoberry, while others have to use Mejoberry.

Weight and spoil time

One kibble weighs 0.1 and they stack to 100, so a full stack weighs 10. It spoils after 259200 seconds, which is 72 hours or 3 days.
