To make Simple Kibble in Ark: Survival Evolved / Ark: Survival Ascended, you need a small egg, cooked fish meat, a few basic crops/berries, fiber, and water, then cook everything together in a Cooking Pot or Industrial Cooker until it crafts into Simple Kibble. This kibble is mainly used to efficiently tame certain low–mid tier creatures that prefer the “Simple” kibble tier.

What Simple Kibble Is

  • Simple Kibble is one of the early-game kibble tiers used for taming dinos that require “Simple” tier rather than Basic or higher tiers.
  • It gives better taming efficiency and faster taming than regular meat or berries on creatures that prefer this kibble tier.

Simple Kibble Recipe (Standard)

In the current kibble system, Simple Kibble uses a small egg plus a few early- game ingredients.

Typical Simple Kibble recipe:

  • 1 × Small egg (examples: Raptor, Dimorphodon, Pteranodon, Archaeopteryx, Compy, etc.).
  • 1 × Cooked Fish Meat.
  • 2 × Rockarrot (grown from crop plots or found in the wild on certain maps).
  • 5 × Mejoberry.
  • 5 × Fiber.
  • 1 × Water (Waterskin, Water Jar, Canteen, or irrigation in an Industrial Cooker).

All of these go into:

  • A Cooking Pot (with fuel and water item inside).
  • Or an Industrial Cooker (irrigated with water; you do not add a water container).

When everything is correct and the fire is lit:

  • It takes about 30 seconds of real time to produce 1 Simple Kibble in a Cooking Pot.

Step‑by‑Step: Making Simple Kibble

  1. Gather ingredients
    • Tame a small-egg dino (Raptor, Pteranodon, etc.) and collect its eggs.
 * Hunt fish and cook the meat in a Campfire to get Cooked Fish Meat.

 * Grow or find Rockarrot; gather Mejoberries from bushes; harvest Fiber from plants.
  1. Set up your station
    • Place a Cooking Pot, add fuel (Thatch, Wood, Sparkpowder), and put a water container with at least 25 water in the pot.
 * Or use an Industrial Cooker connected to water pipes and intake so it is irrigated.
  1. Load the recipe
    • Put exactly: 1 small egg, 1 Cooked Fish Meat, 2 Rockarrot, 5 Mejoberry, 5 Fiber, and the water source into the pot.
 * Make sure there is **no custom recipe note** in the pot inventory, or it will try to cook that instead.
  1. Cook
    • Light the fire or turn on the Industrial Cooker.
 * Wait about 30 seconds; one Simple Kibble should appear if everything is correct.

Common Problems (Why It Won’t Craft)

  • Wrong egg type
    • Simple Kibble must use a small egg; using medium or large eggs will fail.
  • Wrong meat type
    • You specifically need Cooked Fish Meat; regular Cooked Meat or Prime Meat will not work for Simple Kibble.
  • Missing or wrong quantities
    • If you do not have the exact numbers (e.g., only 1 Rockarrot instead of 2), the pot will not produce kibble.
  • No water
    • Cooking Pot needs a full water item (Waterskin, Water Jar, or Canteen) inside; if it is empty, nothing crafts.
  • Custom recipes in the pot
    • A custom recipe note in the pot can block kibble from crafting; remove any paper “note” items.

Extra Tips for Easy Kibble Farming

  • Tame small-egg producers in groups (Raptors, Dimorphodons, Pteranodons) so you get a steady flow of eggs for Simple Kibble.
  • Set up crop plots early with Irrigation to mass‑produce Rockarrot and other veggies, which speeds up all kibble crafting later.
