Actually... it states- Creatures prefer their category of Kibble or above

Cool, looks like I need to get my finger out and tame some more allos. Might put the allo project on hold for a bit now that S+ and kibble rework is here. Going to adapt some builds, start moving more stuff of Rag and also move and reorganise the kibble farm.

Hey Survivors! Welcome to the latest edition of the Community Crunch! Homestead Update Tomorrow! It's finally arrived! We're beyond thrilled to be releasing Structure Plus (S+) and the long-awaited kibble rework (now packaged together as 'Homestead') to all of our survivors March 5th 2019! If you can dream it, you can build it! Homestead includes the major elements of Structures Plus (S+), a player created Sponsored Mod by Orionsun. S+ has maintained a large following of users over an extended period of time, and its move to console has long been requested. We are particularly excited to finally be able to share this with our console survivors who will be using it for the very first time. Here are the new building features included in Homestead: Dedicated bulk storage Triangle foundations, ceilings and roof pieces Four high walls Fence supports for level walls Flexible pipes and electrical cables Double doors Swappable variants for ramps/stairs New visual variants for existing structures Along-side the update to structures we also have our kibble rework included in this patch! Previously the Kibble system worked like a tree, the egg of one creature being used in a kibble to tame the next creature in line. Often these kibbles didn’t make sense in terms of game progression and became more redundant with each new creature that was added to the game. Each creature now falls into one of six categories, and that creature’s egg can be used to tame any creature within that specific category. Instead of having 50+ different kibbles all requiring a different specific egg, it is drastically reduced to: Basic, Simple, Regular, Superior, Exceptional, and Extraordinary kibbles! You can expect the Homestead update to hit your respective platform around 10am PST tomorrow starting with PC and concluding with PS4. We invite you to watch our Homestead trailer to see a preview of the variety of structures that are now possible. All of the builds featured in the trailer are player-created and you can find links to how to build the structures in the video description. It has been an amazing experience for us to see our dedicated players create things we could have never imagined! We hope these changes to ARK inspire survivors to turn their wooden shack on the beach into the fortress of their dreams!

@Chris - at the moment i had wrote my post there was "tomorrow at...." message. I think Jen or someone edited it after my post. Now it is ok.

So we will have to transfer drake and wyvern eggs from another map to make this kibble now, am I missing something. No way to get these eggs naturally on extinction, and you cant tame hesperonis from the caves anymore, so whats up? Why would they move titanboa to superior? HELP me understand?

I know so exciting isnt it Cant wait to condense the kibble farm. Pity we will need to uncryo everything and recryo everything to update the stats... But i dont have a wife... but I am at home anyway I shall start with my small build at the main base to test a few things out and then upscale to the new water base. The temptation to build a castle is real haha

Then pod the baby and unpod to change what it wants for imprinting, that's an intended mechanic btw

Mana nerfed again?! And by so much?! Why render it uselss?! It is barely a few months since you added the new creatures. And don't come with the PvP argument. It's a toxic game there anyways.

The update sounds awesome, kibble rework is gonna be awesome. Was wondering if peim+ is going to get some love? Thanks for all your hard work.

I see a lot of people asking how kibble and imprinting works. I've spent extensive 100+ hours with the kibble and structures system, here's to hoping I can clear up any worries for you. Imprinting works the same way, it's just that your babies will randomly prefer any of the six kibbles, as well as any random vegetable, berry, or type of meat (including jerky). All the recipes for kibble can be found here - https://ark.gamepedia.com/Kibble#Kibble_Rework Now, because I updated the kibble wiki during the beta, I can't say that all of the dinos producing/preferring are 100% accurate, so I still recommend using the information provided on this post by Jen to figure out what types of kibble things prefer. Up until the point that the dododex has updated all the values, all you wanna do is figure out what kind of kibble the dino you're taming prefers, then go to the dododex and figure out how much of that kibble it will need based on it's level, etc, you know the drill. The taming times are generally still the same, it's just that now they use one of six categories. Hope that clears this up for those confused, I know change can be overwhelming. Good luck survivors

@Jen - why do you again make us wonder when it's tomorrow for you tomorrow. Use absolute non-relative dates, ...

Any chance of you putting in the long awaited tek large hatchframe and doors? I mean you build a tek base and you have to have a 2x2 metal hole in roof surely should already be a thing for flyers to get in and out as intended.

Will this updated be added to Primitive+? If so when can we get the same structures in Brick?

I see the new kibble rework for taming.. do not see anything about imprinting.. Please let us know how this works for imprinting.. BTW.. Excited for the update.. Keep up the good work!!!

Honestly not sure about the lines, never got that intensive personally but have helped my old tribe mates with that. We will discuss it more in PM. We've had: 2x melee no visible colour, 1x melee gold scales 1x oxy (blue belly) and 1x speed no colour again..but not 100% that I actually kept it and bred in or not.. Looks like we've got a project. Need more Allos for better stat rolls anyways

Nah I am single. Not even a girl friend.... am so lonely.... Dont worry I have no plans for any massive builds in the main base. Funy you should mention about a castle on Rag. I was planning on sonething low key, maybe building in one of the ruins on the islands ob the east coast. But when I ran my own server I built a massive castle with creative mode as a community thing for PvPing such as jousting and sword fights. It would be tempting to build something like that again, but the grind would be insane.

RIP Mana, it was fun while it lasted
