Ahhh thank you!

@Addi - normal cooking pot? Did you try the XP Kibble Cooking Pot? It's the only one that will work.
Addi 10 Jan, 2022 @ 8:14am 
Doesn't work for me sadly. Got the engrams and put all the needed stuff in a normal cooking pot but nothing happens. :(

Steam now blocks all links to Google Docs - marks them as malicious. Until we come up with another solution, just copy the url shown on the super big scary red warning page Steam shows when you click on the link and paste it in your browser address bar manually.

@poppernox
Yea I was trying to do the same! Was trying to max out some Boss fighting rexes haha.
Thanks for the response and for the work you do on this mod!

@Tomyallen - I was just annoyed by this myself. I was trying to craft up 2 XP Kibble Tek, which requires 10 XP Kibble Exceptional... had to do each one individually. Bummer. We are working on an overhaul for XP Kibble and one of our desired features will automatically fix this nuisance. Stay tuned.
Tomyallen 19 Jul, 2021 @ 8:40pm 
Is there anyway to get it to craft stacks at a time? (I understand it needs to be in inventory).

Kinda sucks having the ingredients for 20+ kibble but having to click craft for each piece even though I clicked craft all.

Otherwise loving this mod! Well done!

you have my thumbs up! :steamthumbsup:

Thanks @borkmaster! I've updated the description above to include your tip (and gave you credit of course).

Put the following in your Game.ini to remove the XP Kibble Tek engram:

[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_XPKibble_Tek_C",EngramHidden=True)

@Magyar5j - that's some high praise! thanks!
Poppernox  [author] 24 Jan, 2021 @ 7:15am 
@Dragongamer - I found that song file buried in Arks media files within the Ark Editor. I don't think it's ever used officially in game. Maybe they meant to at one point. Either way, after finding it, I had to make use of it!

Might be the best mod out there outside of S+. Grinding dino levels for beta and alpha bosses is INCREDIBLY boring and frustrating. Especially considering the XP once u get 50 levels or so on the dino. The settings are so weird too.. From level 55 to 56 takes 4000XP.. but from 56 to 57 it's 8000 XP.. then from 57 to 58 it drops to 5000 XP..... wtf Wildcard.... explain the logic in that.. and it's not like you can't find the same type of pattern in other levels.. look at 60 to 61 to 62 to 63... 15K.. then 10k.. 10k.. just.. weird stuff. Anyways.. this mod helps a TON TON TON. The kibble is set for the right prices and the ONLY map you will have problems with this kibble is on Scorched Earth. Where it's almost impossible to get Broth of Enlightenment in any quantities due to there being no Whooly Rhinos and Deathworms are rare.

Which sound did you use for the superior kibble? I only now the normal explorer note sound. As i gave my therizino the superior kibble i was overwhelemd that there is a even more epic music than the normal sound of explorer notes.
KonaManta 18 Oct, 2020 @ 1:16am 
This mod was just what I was looking for. I like to set my XP gain low because I like the gradual progress and building up from early game, but didn't like how that option makes leveling tames much slower too. Thanks!

Very clever and also like the way its ingredients are close to a dinos perferrred kibble. adding it now .
PixelToy 12 Aug, 2020 @ 11:03am 
i just keep getting the same XP Kibble Simple =/
carzon 10 Aug, 2020 @ 3:57pm 
it'll give me the item instead of the bp?
carzon 10 Aug, 2020 @ 3:57pm 
So if I say gfi tranq 50 0 1 false ?
carzon 10 Aug, 2020 @ 3:57pm 
OH
Poppernox  [author] 9 Aug, 2020 @ 10:31pm 
it can be "false" or just "0" - that part of the command tells the console whether or not to give you the blueprint instead of the actual item.
carzon 9 Aug, 2020 @ 5:52pm 
whats up with the false at the end
carzon 9 Aug, 2020 @ 5:52pm

Oh wait, guess server owner figured out what the issue was. It was another mod called Riderless XP that was causing the issue. while both mods are on it gives the XP to both player and dino when when they eat the kibble. Sorry for the confusion.
Poppernox  [author] 25 Jul, 2020 @ 3:27pm 
@I Wear My Ukelele At Night - you're saying that when you force feed tek kibble to your dino, your player also gets the XP? Is this only happening past normal level cap?
I Wear My Ukelele At Night 25 Jul, 2020 @ 5:48am 
On our private server me and my friends are enjoying the xp kibble a lot and just got to the point we can make the tek kibble. We ran into a small hitch though. On the server we set it up to let us just keep growing beyond normal cap, each level being exponentially harder to get than the last. Imagine the tek kibble was made with normal level cap in mind but whenever you feed the kibble to a dinosaur, riding it or not, the player gets the XP too. Anyway for that to be altered or no way with how system works?
Floe Hetling 7 Jul, 2020 @ 8:48am 
[Self answered]
Well, depends on egg. Not every egg acceptable on every recipe. This system is similar to regular kibble making
Floe Hetling 7 Jul, 2020 @ 8:40am 
Strange, but I have various eggs now and not a single one is accepted by the recipe.
Playing The Island, have Kairuku, diplodocus, rex, stego, para and argentavis eggs.
Poppernox  [author] 30 Jun, 2020 @ 7:51am 
@Optyk - Yes - that's also true for other maps like The Island and The Center. Though, my experience so for on Crystal Isles has not shown Tek creatures to be "few and far between". They seem to be as common as on other maps. You can also grind Element into dust, but that method is not efficient.
Optyk 24 Jun, 2020 @ 4:19pm 
Unless I'm missing something, the only place to get Element Dust on Crustal Isles is from Tek creatures -and those are few and far between.
Poppernox  [author] 16 Jun, 2020 @ 10:10am 
@Mad Alkemyst - no problem at all - glad you like the mod!
Poppernox  [author] 16 Jun, 2020 @ 10:09am 
@TheEscapist - No configuration options yet - but one to disable XP Kibble TEK will be coming soon per your question/request. I see the value in being able to exclude that. Originally, I was thinking of pushing it out as a separate mod, but it didn't make sense to have two XP Kibble mods just because some wouldn't want the ability to max out levels. Give me some time to dig into how to make configuration options work and I'll push out an update soon.
Mad Alkemyst 16 Jun, 2020 @ 5:25am 
@Hwaryun - Holy crow! I had no idea you can get element so easily after The Island! Thank You for filling me in. Seriously, this kind of shocks me. I absolutely share your concerns on this now that I understand it better.(and your English and grammar are excellent, never stress over that!)
I see @Poppernox has updated to TEK and that's AWESOME! Thank you for all the attention you give this mod, it's one of my favorites.
TheEscapist 15 Jun, 2020 @ 3:23pm 
Is there a server prompt I can run to disable Max / Tek kibble? It's not something we want and had downloaded the mod before it was added.
Poppernox  [author] 15 Jun, 2020 @ 1:59pm 
Hey folks - we just updated XP Kibble and replaced XP Kibble MAX with XP Kibble TEK... see notes above for more information. We agree that it should be tied to TEK so as to not be too easily obtained early on.
Hwaryun 15 Jun, 2020 @ 7:35am 
@Mad Alkemyst - In Genesis and Crystal Isles, you can harvest element from red/blue rocks. In Extinction, you can do Element vein defence. In Aberration, you can craft element from certain materials. In other maps, you could just bring Gacha's and farm infinite elements. So you can obtain the MAX kibble even without defeating the boss. Then what will happen is, everyone using MAX kibble to max out dinos for the boss fight. For me, this feels boring. That's why I think TEKgram would be good. And for the levels, unless you have boosted exp, reaching Lv.105 is pritty hard to do and very very time consuming. And I think A lot of people goes to bosses before even reaching this level. That's why I think Lv.105 is ok. Sorry for my strong attitude, but what I most care about is the MOD creator's thoughts. So plz don't take my opinion offensively. And plz forgive my poor English vocabulary couse I'm a Japanese.
Mad Alkemyst 10 Jun, 2020 @ 9:21pm 
@Hwaryun - I'm not trying to pick a fight, I'm trying to understand your thought process on making the MAX tied to a TEKgram or a boss kill. Both of these would be fulfilled in order to obtain the element needed for the recipe?
Sorry if I'm sounding insolent, not my intent. I'm new enough that we haven't made our first boss kill but played long enough to know how much revolves around and is dependent on farming element.
Poppernox  [author] 10 Jun, 2020 @ 12:57pm 
We're still working on some ideas. It's going to take awhile... more to learn. We'll update XP Kibble as soon as we can. Thanks.
Poppernox  [author] 10 Jun, 2020 @ 9:14am 
@Hwaryun - Thanks for your thoughts. You got us thinking more about this... We are rethinking XP Kibble MAX and will be releasing an update later today. Stay tuned.
Hwaryun 10 Jun, 2020 @ 1:38am 
I think the MAX kibble is too easy to obtain that it'll remove the meaning of leveling. So I think it should be some sort of TEKgram that can be unlocked when you kill a boss or make the learnable level at vanilla max Lv105. Or maybe using a boss / alpha creature trophies and some artifacts as one of the ingredients would be nice too. I really liked how this MOD was well balanced so I wish you'll think about it. Though I really like the idea it self of the MAX kibble 'couse some creatures that isn't for fighting is nearly impossible to make it max level. Keep on the good job :D
khisanth 3 Jun, 2020 @ 2:12am 
Very good mod idea :).
I also think xp for player could be a good idea, particularly if they unlock at specific lvl.

The issue with global xp multiplier it that while it could be really needed toward the end of pexing it also rush the start of the game which may not be very new player friendly. People could be interested to only have xp bonus when reaching some lvl, doing smth similar to kibble xp could give a solution to this without needing to edit the exp required for each lvl (or changing xp multiplier depending of average player lvl) if you want for example not boost until lvl A, then *2 from lvl A to lvl B and *3 for B to lvl C etc while giving it a cost. Admin could then edit the lvl at which each boost unlock.

Wondering if you do a special crafting station if you will be able to keep the lvl requirement to learn the craft or everything will be unlock at the lvl required for the station.
Poppernox  [author] 30 May, 2020 @ 8:09am 
@Hwaryun - Thanks for your nice comment. Keeping it balanced was one of our main concerns... which is difficult because people differ on what they consider "balanced". We're glad it's working well for you!
Poppernox  [author] 30 May, 2020 @ 8:07am 
@whitneyhill Thanks for the feedback. We have a few ideas in the works. Will update when we have more.
Hwaryun 30 May, 2020 @ 4:13am 
I like how these kibbles aren't OP. I really think that it's well balanced. Great job!
whitneyhill 29 May, 2020 @ 7:17pm 
Lol, I'd love a player version any recipe (harder is prob better). Currently when I play singleplayer I turn XP up to like 50X, but it always feels too cheaty and fast. This mod for survivors would be a great way to equalize the difference between too fast, and hours upon hours of grinding. Love the idea, great work. :D
vexxen23 28 May, 2020 @ 10:01pm 
The meats was just the tier of kibble ideal for each meat I'd say element dust is good as well as a few cooked dishes like minewipe tonics shadow steaks and battle tartars for a few if the exp consumables maybe even map exclusive recipes for higher tier xp buffs like cactus broth and mushroom stew
