Kibble (Pulminoscorpius Egg)

One kibble, two spellings

In ARK: Survival Ascended this item is called Kibble (Pulminoscorpius Egg); in ARK: Survival Evolved it is Kibble (Pulmonoscorpius Egg). The ARK Wiki notes that the game itself uses both spellings for the scorpion in different places, and that the wiki keeps to Pulmonoscorpius, the spelling of the dossier and of the real animal.

No longer a PC or console kibble

Our database still holds item records for both games, but according to the wiki the Homestead! Kibble Rework took this kibble out of PC and console play when it moved kibble to quality-based types. The cut-off was patch 293.100 for PC, 784.13 for Xbox and 533.14 for Playstation, and the remastered Nintendo Switch edition removed it from 601.0. ARK: Survival Evolved Mobile still has it as a regular kibble.

Its former taming role

On PC and console this kibble was once used to force-tame the Rex, the Tek Rex and the Beelzebufo; Mobile still uses it to force-tame the Rex and the Beelzebufo. Like other kibble, it raises the taming meter faster than berries or meat while costing less taming effectiveness. Any other creature, though, values it at only 66% of plain meat and berries, and the wiki recommends against feeding it to them.

Cooking advice from the wiki

On Mobile it can still be cooked in a Cooking Pot or an Industrial Cooker, or produced in the TEK Kibble Processor from kibble worth a combined value of 5. The wiki's recipe notes add a few pointers for the pot: put in some spare Mejoberry and Longrass in case some spoil during cooking, and use Thatch as the fuel, because Charcoal or Sparkpowder in the pot can turn other ingredients into dyes. Wood, Sparkpowder or AnglerGel can also serve as fuel, and emptying the pot of other ingredients first avoids the dye problem.

Weight and spoil time

Our records give it a weight of 0.1 and a stack size of 100, so a full stack weighs 10. It spoils after 3 days, or 72 hours.
