Kibble (Pelagornis Egg)

A kibble from the old system

Kibble (Pelagornis Egg) comes from the earlier kibble system of ARK: Survival Evolved, before kibble was reworked into quality-based types. The ARK Wiki now files it as a Regular Kibble in ARK: Survival Evolved Mobile. The in-game text describes it as balanced pet food with plant fibers for digestion and egg to hold the mix together, and ends with "Humans have difficulty digesting this."

What the Kibble Rework changed

On PC and console this kibble could be made until the Kibble Rework patch replaced the old types with quality-based ones (PC 293.100, Xbox 784.13, Playstation 533.14). The remastered Nintendo Switch edition removed it as of 601.0. Since then the wiki says it cannot be crafted on PC or console by any means. On ARK: Survival Evolved Mobile it is still cooked in a Cooking Pot or Industrial Cooker, and a TEK Kibble Processor can also turn any kibble worth a combined value of 5 into it.

Taming with it

Kibble raises the taming meter faster than berries or meat and lowers taming effectiveness less, which leaves more bonus levels at the end of a tame. On PC and console this kibble was once used to force-tame an Archaeopteryx, and on Mobile it still fills that role. Other creatures value it at only 66% of the effectiveness of ordinary meat and berries, and the wiki advises against using it for them.

Weight, spoilage and the Super version

A piece weighs 0.1 and a stack holds 100, so a full stack weighs 10. It spoils after 3 days (72 hours). Mobile also has Super Kibble (Pelagornis Egg), cooked with a Super Fertilized Pelagornis Egg in place of the normal Pelagornis Egg; it tames creatures faster and with better effectiveness.
