Kibble (Megalania Egg)

A kibble that was removed

The ARK Wiki marks Kibble (Megalania Egg), a Superior Kibble of ARK: Survival Evolved, as removed from the game. The wiki explains that it went away with the Homestead! Kibble Rework patch, which moved kibble to quality-based types: on PC with version 293.100, on Xbox with 784.13 and on Playstation with 533.14. The wiki adds that it can no longer be crafted by any method. Its description presents it as pet food with balanced nutrition for almost any creature native to the island, with plant fibers for digestion and egg to hold the mix together, and warns that humans have trouble digesting it.

Its role in taming

Kibble is fed to creatures you are taming. According to the wiki it has a stronger taming effect than food such as berries or meat: the taming meter fills faster and taming effectiveness falls less, which leaves more bonus levels at the end. Earlier, this kibble served to force-tame a Megatherium. The wiki also lists creatures it served to force-tame, among them the Argentavis, Direwolf, Mammoth, Megalodon, Tapejara and Woolly Rhino, plus the Deinosuchus for passive taming. Other creatures value it at only 66% of regular meat and berries, so the wiki advises against feeding it to them.

• 10 Chitin

What our records still hold

Our database keeps an ASE entry for it with a 30-second crafting time. A piece weighs 0.1 and they stack to 100, so a full stack weighs 10, and it spoils after 3 days (72 hours). The entry lists 9 maps, among them The Island, Scorched Earth, Aberration and Extinction.
