Confused on Kibble

[DingDongDanger]

So I see that every dino has their favorite kibble and it's made from a specific dino egg. But what's the difference between the superior and what not? What is the best? Is superior the same as giving them their favorite or is it better? I just need some explanation. The wiki just says that it's good and how to make it x_x

Also superior seems to much easier to make because it can be made from any egg of that type? So why would we bother making specifics anymore?

Dinos will tame on their prefered kibble OR Better kibble then they prefer.

And utterly terrible on lesser kibble.

ah, so it has superior listed as preferred along with the specific type one (raptor) for mammoth. So I guess they have equal taming effectiveness.

Go here:
https://ark.gamepedia.com/Kibble

Expand 'Creatures'

Each egg type in each tier will make that kibble type.... and tame each other creature in that tier and ALL creatures in lower tiers.

[Vesuvius]

"All Eggs (excluding Araneo Egg and Moth Egg) now have a size and can be used to create a corresponding quality-based Kibble."

The specific egg recipes no longer apply, only the 6 new kibble types.

For example, previously the Raptor egg was used for Mammoths, now Raptor eggs make simple kibble.
Mammoths now use Superior kibble to tame.

yea the kibble re-work is great as it has made taming certain creature's far less of a headache....on the flip side it also made some a bit harder (for example Karkino's prefer Exceptional kibble now which is very difficult to make on aberration since only 1 egg on that map qualify's as an XL egg: Basilisk)

still i prefer this system as it makes something like a Yuty MUCH easier to kibble tame and also allow's some creature's that couldn't have been perfect tamed before on certain map's to now be kibble tamed

From what i know this is how kibble works

The Dire Wolf on ark favours the superior kibble.
if you give the Wolf anything less than superior then you will lose a lot of effectiveness, However if you give a wolf any kibble that's better than superior for example exceptional kibble then it will be treated as the favoured kibble but only if its ''ranked'' higher then the others

But yeah if making superior kibble in mass works for you then you can easily use it to tame everything that loves superior and below

from my testing on that matter I found it's really not worth feeding them kibble higher then their preferred tiered, as it doesn't significantly reduce tame time/kibble consumption,

for example, lets say for poops and giggles I knock out a 150 spino who takes about [not accounting server settings here] 10 exceptional kibble to tame,

if i were to sub that 10 exceptional kibble with 10 extradinary kibble, the spino would only eat about 9 or 8 if that, I could be wrong or hell might have even done something wrong, but My point is,

the advantages to using higher tier kibble on a dino that doesn't require it is not significant, however for dinos that require basic/simple and regular kibbles, I have reason to suspect exceptional/extradinary kibble usage on those tames would be decently significant, but I've yet to test on those.

[DingDongDanger]

Ohhh okay, thanks for the info guys appreciate it. So the specific type kibbles that used to be there just can't be made anymore that way?

[Xenulus]

The recipes for them are gone and can't be made anymore, but that pre-existing kibble still worked/works, but at a slightly reduced taming effectiveness.

Its not about the higher being better its about the higher ones being the same so you can make a lot of the best one (exceptionnal?) so now a yuty farm is enough for anything

Your existing kibble will be converted to the new kibble.
It is still 100% as effective as the kibble type it has been converted to.
You can tell this by the colour coded aura around it.
