Simple kibble in ARK is crafted to tame small to medium creatures and is one of the easiest kibble types to make. It’s made either in a cooking pot or an industrial cooker, using a small egg and a handful of other common ingredients. Below is a clear, practical guide you can follow. What you need (common to both cooking pot and industrial cooker)

• 1 cooked meat
• 1 small egg (also called extra small egg; not fertilized)
• 5 fiber
• 5 Mejoberries (or the berry of your choice, depending on your server rules)
• 2 rock carrots (or 2 carrots)
• 1 unit of water
• Fuel (if you’re using a primitive setup, ensure you have fuel for the fire or source of energy for the cooker)

Notes on eggs

• Simple kibble requires a small egg. In ARK, that means eggs laid by creatures like Dodo, Oviraptor, or similar small eggs. Using a fertilized egg or a different egg type will not craft Simple Kibble correctly.
• If you’re missing a suitable small egg, you’ll need to wait or raise an appropriate creature to lay one.

Crafting steps (cooking pot)

• Fill the cooking pot with water.
• Add the above ingredients in the indicated quantities.
• Light the fire under the pot (ensure fuel is present).
• Crafting time: about 30 seconds per kibble.
• Output: 1 piece of Simple Kibble per craft.

Crafting steps (industrial cooker)

• Fill the cooker with water and place the ingredients in the specific kibble slot.
• Ensure there is a power source or fuel as required by your setup.
• Crafting time: similar to the cooking pot (roughly 30 seconds per piece).

What Simple Kibble is used for

• Taming certain smaller herbivores and some starter dinos more efficiently than berries or meat alone.
• It can improve tame speed and sometimes improve imprint quality on specific creatures, depending on the creature.

Tips

• Keep a steady supply of small eggs by breeding or collecting from early-game creatures.
• Store kibble in preserving bins or refrigerators if your server allows; kibble can spoil if not properly stored on some servers.
• If you’re playing on a modded server or a non-standard game version, verify exact ingredient counts, as some mod packs adjust kibble recipes.

If you want, I can tailor the ingredient quantities to a specific ARK version (vanilla, ARK: Survival Evolved, ARK: Survival Ascended) or a particular server rule set.
