Phiomia kibble.
Why is there none?

We were considering using a high lvl phiomia in our base to transport materials between areas, but with no kibble it would take a long time to tame.

Use a trike. Way more efficient and can easily defend itself if in danger. Plus, phiomias dont need kibble because they are practically useless. Only higher lvls need kibble.

Honestly, there are a bunch of animals which SHOULD have kibble but don't; parasaurs, phiomia, dimorphodons and scorpions. Even Dilos, maybe. All of them have practical uses. The only one which really only exists to produce tasty eggs is the dodo.

What kibble would they use? They are beginner animals that are the basis of the kibble food chain. Scorpions on the other hand uses spoiled meat to tame it as fast as prime. It makes more sense for a scorpion to eat spoiled meat than actual kibble.

Phiomias have such low weight and poor health that it's not very practical for long distance transport. They may appear to be faster than a Trike but when weighed down they're just as slow.

Need kibble for parasaurs.

Why? What kibble would they use? And what purpose would high lvl parasaurs have?

Only use for them. Other than that, they are terrible. I dont know how many phiomias i have lost to raptors, dilos, and even an ape before.

Who cares about it making sense? It severely hampers their effectiveness in terms of taming. I tamed a 108 the other day with spoiled meat... and it got 7 levels off it. And high-level parasaurs take a long time to tame. Fact is, just for gameplay reasons, these animals could use kibble.

They're small, easy to move about due to having a saddle, have a good weight carrying capacity which can be used to store and convert meat into spoiled meat (for narco farms), while also producing feces at a high frequency on their own- AND they have the ability to shoot out poop like a machine gun if force fed stimberries.

Those little piggies are useful, whether you're a new player or a maxed player.

Maybe the scorpion might need kibble. But i dont see a use kibble for parasaurs. They are low level dinos and a high lvl still has no uses. I think parasaurs, dilos, dimos, and dodos dont need kibble. Dilos and dimos can be tamed very fast and high efficiency with one or two prime meat. Dodos and parasaurs are a little more difficult, but they are primarily used for egg laying.

Because I love them. I would say dodo kibble. More health and weight as pack animals for land transport.

When breeding is a thing they will probably get a second use as livestock, because they easily provide a ton of meat and hide without being much work to slaughter.
