Help - kibble
Hello used to play some years back on pc and xbox, thought i give the game another run, over 2k hours on xbox.

so i've logged in, got a little shack down, some dodos and dilos for pteranodon and doedicurus, got a parrasur to get carrots and got fertiliser going. All asap. The same stratergy ive used many times to get going and get a flyer real quick and get a big base down. logged out went to work.

Got back on after work, the carrots were ready! Crafted my cooking pot and put mejoberries, water, fiber, carrots and cooked meat and dodo eggs in. it would not cook the dodo kibble. Done this 100s of times. its the start of the flowchart. Checked online for the receipt which is the exact same. triple checked.

even kept demolishing my cooking pot and placing new ones. Nothing absolutely nothing is working.

i've not played properly for a long time since before aberation and ragnorok. Although i have been on here and there since, never had this issue.

Ive seen something about basic kibble and superior kibble written in another forum, although it seemed to be something to do with a mobile version of the game.

Can anyone tell me whats wrong? or am i missing something? ive checked the flowchart and the ingredients online. Seems others have had this issue in the past too.

Playing pvp official

The kibble system has been completely revamped. You will have to use basic for a Pteranadon. Dodo eggs will work but the reciped is: 1 small egg, 5 mejoberries, 10 amarberries, 10 tintoberries and one cooked meat.

Kibble was changed awhile ago. No longer egg based and instead there are 6 or so tiers. Basic, Simple, etc.

I'm completely baffled. can i not use dodo eggs to tame pteranodons? can i not use dilo eggs to tame doedics now? the whole flowchart changed or is there no longer a flowchart to follow?

From the little ive read on that website, it seems like im going to have to relearn how to play and obtain tames. is it easier? seems like its going to take me a whole lot longer to get a flyer now... sorry im so confused on how to proceed and play now. i have everything set up to get doedic and flyer but now i dont know what use these 'small eggs' will be for me now lol or if i even needed to tame these dilos or dodos in the first place.

so far i really dont like this kibble change. is it popular? do people prefer it? why was it changed? I had to change my gameplay strategy on this game several times over the years on here, like when rafts became useless due to the raft destroying dino and even troodons ect forced me to change tactics when that came about. I remember when people spoke to me funny for breeding high level turtles and they told me stegos were the next best tanks 0.0

im afraid im left with alot more questions now

aye is saw that but im making sure as it seems on the wiki page the other guy listed states pteranodon need regular kibble which i cant make with dodo eggs
(basic kibble) which invoked me to directly ask again.

i guess ill try it as soon as i can and find out.

okay im only after a quick answer and those wiki pages only give you limited information. it also contradicts that i can use dodo eggs to get a flyer hence why i asked again. Im going to have close this now. can see grown men are about to get really salty on here

Be more helpful! I am back as a noob with 500 hrs pre 2016 so also interested to know.

To me it looks like to kibble tame a Pteradon it requires "Regular Kibble" which is made from any "medium" egg.

So according to the two websites, dodo eggs wont work because they are "extra small" for basic kibble, which will be eaten but wont have the benefit of the preferred "Regular Kibble - medium eggs"

At the op, doesnt matter which dino the eggs come from its the "size" that is used in recipes now.

Ok, I'm sorry to confuse you. You are right, it takes regular kibble which requires a medium egg, 2 longrass, 2 savoroot, one cooked meat jerky. I always include fiber because these recipes don't always tell you that you need it.

1 was a wiki page with accurate information. the other(dododex) is as taming website with even more useful information.

But since you seem intent on inanely being churlish, it is probably for the best that you make this more of a self study. Good luck to you.

Keep in mind kibbles that are also a rank above the kibble needed(or higher) tame same/more effectively as well. I know some people who just simply have yutyranus egg farms and focus on making extra ordinary kibble only due to this point. That's not easy starting out but it can be an eventual goal of course.
