Kibble (Stego Egg)

A kibble left over from the old system

Kibble (Stego Egg) is one of the taming foods from the kibble lineup that ARK: Survival Evolved used before the Homestead! Kibble Rework patch, which moved kibble over to quality-based types. The ARK Wiki dates that change on PC with 293.100, on Playstation with 533.14 and on Xbox with 784.13, and the Nintendo Switch edition removed it with its remastered version from 601.0. Today the wiki lists it as a regular kibble of ARK: Survival Evolved Mobile. Our database still holds rows for it in ASE and in ARK: Survival Ascended, while the wiki sends PC and console players of both games to its general Kibble page for current recipes.

Feeding it during a tame

The description opens with: "This pet food recipe has been carefully designed to give balanced nutrition to almost any creature native to the island." Kibble goes to a creature you are taming. Compared with Berries or Meat it raises the taming meter faster and costs less Taming Effectiveness, which leaves more bonus levels once the tame completes. On PC and console this kibble used to serve for force-taming an Argentavis, a role it keeps on Mobile. Any other creature values it at only 66% of what plain meat and berries give, and the wiki recommends against feeding it to them.

Crafting on Mobile

The wiki states that on PC and console it can no longer be crafted by any means. On Mobile it is still cooked in a Cooking Pot or an Industrial Cooker, and a TEK Kibble Processor can produce it from any kibble adding up to a value of 5. Mobile also offers Super Kibble (Stego Egg), cooked with a Super Fertilized Stego Egg in place of the regular Stego Egg; it tames creatures faster and with higher Taming effectiveness.

Weight and shelf life

A piece weighs 0.1 and stacks to 100, making 10 for a full stack. It spoils after 72 hours, or 3 days.
