Kibble (Pachy Egg)

Status after the kibble rework

Kibble (Pachy Egg) belongs to the kibble system from before the rework. Our records carry it for both ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended, yet the ARK Wiki states that PC and console ASE lost this type when the Homestead! Kibble Rework patch switched kibble to quality-based types: version 293.100 for PC, 784.13 for Xbox and 533.14 for Playstation. The remastered Nintendo Switch edition removed it from 601.0. The wiki now lists it as a Simple Kibble in ARK: Survival Evolved Mobile; the item first appeared in version 207.0.

Former and current uses

Like other kibble, it goes to a creature you are taming. The wiki says kibble raises the taming meter faster than Berries or Meat and loses less Taming Effectiveness, giving more extra levels once the tame is done. On PC and console it was once used to force-tame the Paraceratherium, and Mobile players still use it for that creature. Fed to anything else, it is worth only 66% of regular Meat and Berries, and the wiki does not advise it there.

How Mobile players make it

There is no way to craft it on PC or console anymore. ASE Mobile cooks it in a Cooking Pot or Industrial Cooker, and a TEK Kibble Processor (Mobile) also accepts any mix of kibble worth a value of 3. Swapping the normal Pachycephalosaurus Egg for a Super Fertilized Pachycephalosaurus Egg (Mobile) gives Super Kibble (Pachy Egg) (Mobile), which tames creatures faster and with greater Taming effectiveness.

Weight, stack and shelf life

From the game's text: "This pet food recipe has been carefully designed to give balanced nutrition to almost any creature native to the island." A piece weighs 0.1, a stack holds 100 and weighs 10 when full, and it spoils in 72 hours, or 3 days.
