Kibble (Pteranodon Egg)

A kibble from the old recipe system

Kibble (Pteranodon Egg) belongs to the kibble lineup that ARK: Survival Evolved had before the Homestead! Kibble Rework patch switched kibble to quality-based types. On PC the change arrived with 293.100, on Xbox with 784.13 and on Playstation with 533.14, and the Nintendo Switch edition dropped it in its remastered version from 601.0. The ARK Wiki now treats it as a Simple Kibble of ARK: Survival Evolved Mobile, where a Cooking Pot or an Industrial Cooker still makes it; on PC and console it can no longer be crafted in any way. Our database still keeps rows for it in ASE and in ARK: Survival Ascended, and for the kibble recipes of ASE and ASA on PC and console the wiki points to its main Kibble page.

How it helped with taming

Its description, as our records hold it: "This pet food recipe has been carefully designed to give balanced nutrition to almost any creature native to the island. Includes plant fibers to help with digestion and egg to bind the mix. Humans have difficulty digesting this."

Fed to a creature during a tame, kibble fills the taming meter faster than berries or meat and costs less taming effectiveness, which ends in more bonus levels. On PC and console this variety was once used to force-tame a Carbonemys, a role it still has on Mobile. Other creatures rate it below plain meat and berries, at only 66% of their effect, so the wiki advises against using it for them. On Mobile a TEK Kibble Processor can also make it from any kibble adding up to a value of 3.

Super Kibble and stored values

Mobile also has Super Kibble (Pteranodon Egg), made in a Cooking Pot or Industrial Cooker by swapping the Pteranodon Egg for a Super Fertilized Pteranodon Egg; it tames faster and with higher taming effectiveness.

The values in our records: a weight of 0.1 and a stack of 100, so a full stack weighs 10; a spoil time of 259200 seconds (72 hours, or 3 days); and a crafting time of 30 seconds.
