Egg Farming for the Kibble Rework :: Ark : Survival Evolved Tips and Tricks

[@Anadin90]

"Unless you like repositioning your creatures." This reminds me of the time when I was on our server with my buddy, in the middle of our egg farm. He wanted to tell me something via chat and ended up whistling almost all of the creatures to follow him. It took us around 15 minutes to put them back to their places after we were able to wiggle ourselves out. :D

Low level moschops are perfect for midtier eggs. You can tame them with a few berries if your lucky, so walking along the beaches you will eventually find one you can tame. Deinonychus are perfect for top tier eggs due to their small size and egg abundance on valguero. Only issue is that they only give deinonychus eggs when breeding.

[@user-ds5jd5zy2d]

Extra small: Dodo/Parasaur Small: Pterosaur/Trike Medium: Carbonemys Large: MOSHOPS Extra Large: Bronto/Therasino :)

[@coffeetrex]

Yeah I was a little confused when he said argentavis for large

[@kaladin783]

Another good Dino for exceptional kibble is the Therizino, as it’s much easier to tame than the rex or bronto.

[@JdebMkay]

For medium eggs you could tame Pulmonoscorpius instead. They require a small amount of tranqs to KO, they eat spoiled meat which is easy to get as a beginner, and their taming times are pretty low with level 150 being 1 hour with a 1x tame multiplier.

[@goldenaries0860]

I'm curious as to why every tier or Kibble is on here instead of a mere few Moschops. Supposedly, the Wiki states animals will take any Kibble tier better than the one the animal currently desires, as well as their own tier; (I.E a Argentavis will take Superior Kibble and better). Moschops drop large eggs, so that covers Superior and below, not to mention their taming food tends to be rather cheap, albiet random. Superior Kibble covers the mass majority of animals, comes from a cheap passive tame, and is fairly cheap to make (the hardest ingredient to get being sap). However this is merely my opinion, as this setup has worked for me, but may not work for others. Please feel free to correvt any misinformation I may have.

[@Tecorsuh]

Yes, kibble does work like that. If you have a well established base and have access to everything the moschops could ask for, then that is definitely not a bad strategy. The reason why I didn't choose moschops is because of their relative difficulty to tame. If it decides to ask for something a player either doesn't have or has a limited supply of, then the tame is pretty much wasted until the player taming it can get what it wants. Argys, my pick for superior, are a much straightforward tame. They are also a creature that people already interested in for their flying pack muel abilities. Either way, if it works for you, then all is good.

A neighboring tribe also had a big sale on dinos after the kibble rework, so I picked up a few Kentros for medium eggs.

[@uninho1985]

I m playing solo on a single player local session. how can I keep this working? I mean "within render distance" means I cant move out of my base or the timer will reset? or how is it working ?

[@Tecorsuh]

Yes, within render distance means exactly what you think it means. When creatures aren't loaded, the are suspended. This means if you're not standing nearby, the egg laying check isn't being made. As far as the timer for the check being reset, I honestly have no clue. The testing I did wasn't that intensive. Now that I think about it, I'm not even sure how to test for that. There is no indication of a failed egg check. Without that, I don't think there would be a reliable way to test it.

[@kevinlewis8463]

ty my dude, that helped alot.

[@drew5337]

Early game (as long as your have a crossbow) go for the lowest trashiest brontos you can find. Two females and a male and save the eggs until you can tame a crap oviraptor, then save the eggs until you have a decent stash of rare flowers. Then grind away some yellow kibble. Build a farm in the mean time for crop taming herbivores and to have citronel to make the focal chili for the yellow kibble. (Make the focal chilis as you get the citronel, since it spoils so fast.) You're going to need a crop farm to make the extraordinary kibble anyway. Crop tame a crap theri for rare flower gathering, you'll want the flowers or the yellow kibble to tame the bees to make the extraordinary kibble. Hardest are the yutys, as even a low level one can be a pain. Its a lot easier on ragnarok since carrots and potatoes just grow in the ground and you can get good taming on brontos with them.

[@mudkipgaming7086]

This video is really helpful just subbed

[@jasonfidler3363]

Ohhh I have been just flying around looking for eggs and then coming back to base and see nothing laid. And I need an ovar raptor now too. Hmm lots of work to make kibble.

[@samybbaby]

Short and sweet... thank you kind sir...

[@TheTwinight]

Think yutty is better choice for extra, they are dangerous to tame with there Carno pack, but a simple 2 high trap minimises the risk.. Also regular kibble better choices maybe ptre and anky as those are to tames that you should have in hand anyway.. Great video mate I don’t agree with all but over all nobody is going to go wrong with your choices...

[@Triumphantinwarandpeace]

Me crying in mobile because we don’t have these superior exceptional extraordinary kibbles

[@song295]

Do you have to enable mating or just having them close together with a male will make them lay eggs . Also how do I get them to stay side by side?

[@letizialanfranco9443]

U don't need to enable mating to make the dinos lay unfertilized eggs: females lay eggs even if a male is not nearby, following the rules described in the video. Which makes females more taming worthy than males. One male is needed to "male-boost" the females of his specie to lower the cooldown of the egg laying process, so u can have one male trike for 3 female trike. The mating process is a 100% chance of having a egg, which is fertilized (can give u a baby Dino if hatched) but has a very long cooldown on the female, depending on the specie of the Dino. U can make kibbles with such eggs too, the problem is that those eggs don't stack in any box so if u want to farm them, prepare to have a LOT of storage in which to keep them.

[@letizialanfranco9443]

U don't need the male to stay too close, as long as u see the heart shaped symbol on top of the dinos (which signifies the male boost is active). To make animals stand side by side u can either mount them with a saddle, disable wandering and dismount when they reach the position u need. Dodos can be carried like furniture and for small animals u need to whistle/enable follow on them, then stop follow when they reach your place of choice.

[@DeadJedd4187]

Nice one m8 i want to do this now lol i always thought kibble was a nightmare but not any more.

[@soad4verr]

I don't understand why you would ever pick Ovi or Pegos over Raptors for simple kibble. Raptors are so easy to tame and a decent early game mount which also get stronger in a pack. Otherwise i agree with your picks

[@Tecorsuh]

Pegos are an easy to tame if you have a berry farm set-up or have a herbivore to gather berries. They are also a fairly safe creature to tame and smaller than raptors. It's not that raptors are a bad tame for an egg farm, they still produce the right eggs. If you have them definitely use them. It's better to have more variation in your egg farm because of the 6 egg limit. This video was really to serve as a good starting point Talking about oviraptors was kinda a throwaway because they are needed for egg boost, might as well mention which tier egg they produce. It is just impractical to tame more than one of them until you are producing Rex eggs.

[@soad4verr]

@@Tecorsuh I can see your point of Pego's being an easier tame when you just start out. But then again you will probably need a Trike to farm all the berries required and by that point you are already level 16 anyway. Pegos also depend on your taming rates. It can be a instant tame if you play on high rates, but on official rates it can take quite a few berries. As of oviraptors, 2 is all you need. I usually just tame 2 low levels with dodo eggs :D Great vid tho

[@Tecorsuh]

@@soad4verr I actually put out a video on how to tame pegos earlier this week. It's actually not bad if you know how to approach it. They tame based on the number of stacks taken, not the number of berries in each stack. If the stack is too small, it doesn't fill their hunger and they start losing taming %. The stack size depends on the hunger stat, the largest I've seen needed was 30(lvl 100+), and they will take a stack every 30 seconds. For example a level 50 would need 14 stacks of 25, for a total of 350 berries, and about 9 minutes. It's still *a lot* of berries, but it's nowhere near as bad as I've seen a lot of people claim it to be. Oviraptors are still a pain, even at low levels lol. But yeah, tame a male and a female, and never tame them again.

[@siggie8727]

Why ?

[@KOfilms22]

Moschops lays large eggs for superior kibble. Way easier and safer to tame. And lower level moschops tend to ask for easier to get treats to tame. Bad luck is getting giant bee honey asking moschops but u can find ones that dont ask for it. And scorpions are easy to tame as well, just bola them and shoot narco arrows to their head then just use spoiled meat to tame them. and there u have regular kibble eggs.

[@alciozc3591]

Good and helpful video :D

[@sphbecker]

Great video. Is the dodo the only creature in Ark with higher egg laying odds? Or are there any at higher tiers that will lay eggs faster?

[@Tecorsuh]

As of right now, the dodo has the unique feature of having the chance to lay an egg instead of pooping. For other creatures, mate boosting increases the odds and an oviraptor on wander decreases the interval between egg laying checks

[@sphbecker]

Tecorsuh that is what I assumed as well. I will say that I just tamed a few Baryonyx to use as cave runners. They seem to constantly lay eggs. I only have 2 females and 1 male so far, but I have collected more eggs from them than I have my 10 allosaurus.

I don't have plans for a Aberration specific video, but I can make some recommendations. There is nothing equivalent in Aberration for Oviraptors, they would need to be transferred in. For eggs I would recommend: Basic: Dodo Simple: Raptor Regular: Carbonemys Superior: Megalosaurus Exceptional: Basilisk(No Choice) Extraordinary: Rock Drake (No Choice)

Are you referring to Oviraptors? If so, the Oviraptor needs to be on wander to decrease the timer between non-fertile egg laying attempts. You can prevent it from moving by overloading its weight capacity.
