What Kibble Is Used For
At its simplest description, Kibble is an inedible food item that can beused to tame creatures. It speeds up the process when the player is initially taming the dinosaur of their choice and makes it much more efficient and not as resource-heavy.
While it may speed up the taming process as a whole, it has other elements that can help save the player’s life or make their experience a little easier. Feeding Kibble to a creature to tame it will grant them better stats once the process has been completed. This can make them stronger, healthier, or quicker depending on the animals. All these benefits may be concerning when it comes to creating the Kibble, but luckily it’s one of the easier recipes inArk: Survival Evolvedand requiresfew ingredients and even fewer machines to make it in.

Players can mate boost their pets by having two different gendered pets of the same species nearby each other. It should be obvious as to if this has worked by the sign of a pink heart by their name.
Once this has been achieved the player will just need to wait. If the creature is mate boosted then the player shouldn’t need to wait around the pen for the female to lay an egg as it can happen no matter where the player is.
