Kibble (Trike Egg)

An egg kibble from before the rework

Kibble (Trike Egg) is a taming food listed in our records for both ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. Its item text presents it as balanced pet food for nearly every creature native to the island, with plant fibres to aid digestion and egg as the binder. On the ARK Wiki it now appears as a Simple Kibble of ARK: Survival Evolved Mobile.

What the Homestead! update changed

According to the wiki, PC and console players of ASE had this kibble until the Homestead! Kibble Rework patch moved kibble over to quality-based types. It was removed on PC with patch 293.100, on Xbox with 784.13 and on PlayStation with 533.14, and the remastered Nintendo Switch edition dropped it from version 601.0. The wiki adds that on PC and console there is no longer any way to craft it, and it sends players looking for current ASE and ASA kibble recipes to its general Kibble page.

Its role in taming

Kibble is fed to a creature while it is being tamed. Compared with berries or meat, the wiki explains, it pushes the taming meter up faster and costs less taming effectiveness, which ends in more bonus levels once the tame completes. On PC and console this kibble was once used to tame a Sarco by force, and Mobile players still use it for that. Fed to any other creature it is worth only 66% of regular meat or berries, and the wiki does not recommend it for them.

Crafting on Mobile

On ASE Mobile it is still cooked in a Cooking Pot or an Industrial Cooker, and the TEK Kibble Processor can make it from any kibble adding up to a value of 3. Mobile also has a Super Kibble (Trike Egg): its recipe swaps the normal Trike Egg for a Super Fertilized Trike Egg, and taming with it is quicker and gives better taming effectiveness.

Weight and shelf life

Our records give the kibble a weight of 0.1 and a stack size of 100, so a full stack weighs 10. It keeps for 3 days (72 hours) before spoiling, and the record lists a crafting time of 30 seconds worth 1 XP.
