Shrike's New Survivor Guide!
In an effort to assist in helping people learn this mod, i'm starting this post to get them started and on the right foot! Or left foot... whichever they prefer.... :D. First off, remember that part of the fun is learning how to use this stuff on your own in a sense of discovery. So reference this if all else has failed! This is a learning procedure for me as well and i'll edit this post as I figure things out as well. But hopefully it well help weed out any confusion.

Using the KibbleOMatic -

I haven't done much with this, but something that took me a while to figure out was how to get the Raw Egg Paste to make the Generic Egg Paste. All you have to do is simply put any egg in the alchemy kit and it creates Raw Egg Paste, then immediately creates Generic Egg Paste. Whala! Generic Egg Paste!

Using the Dino Food Product - So I majorly facepalmed myself for noobiness after I found out how to use this stuff. I thought it was used as traditional kibble, placing it in the inventory of the down animal and watching the tame bar progress. I was wrong. After trying this and becoming very confused I finally clicked the bag of food and clicked "Use Item". This gave me the required kibble. The description of it says "Use this to get the good stuff". My obliviousness kicked in... and I did not take it literally. I feel I must commit ritual seppuku.

DanInject Rifle -

I absolutely LOVE this thing. First off, the ratio of narcotics it takes to create the darts does not equal out. And this is a good thing, as it would be very borked if it did. The dart rifle is used to down specialty creatures very quickly. You can get more shots off with the rifle and down an animal faster than using tranq arrows. So in short, you're trading torpor strength for speed.

Second, i've noticed that using tranq arrows on low level creatures can kill them sometimes. Such as trying to down a low level argent. The dart deals very little damage. So unless the animal only has 5HP, I doubt your dart will kill it.

More info coming soon!

True, can't find info on the tranq gun aswell. How effective is the 10cc tranq dart compared to the normal arrow? One dart replaces 10 arrows? Its takes more then twice as much resources and rare flowers that are a pain to find so if that’s the ratio it will be only for very , very, special tamings.

...Right firstly, making your own discussion to talk about this when the information that has been plastered across the Main discussion many times is for lack of a better word pointless / arrogant.
also the author doesn't get updated on posts in the players discussions.

Secondly, do you know what people used to do before wiki's? if you used your wiki reading powers you would find this information in talks on the mods main page... On the other hand you could do this amazing thing called "try" or "attempt.

For example, if you try to make dino food you'll see what is needed. "try" to make a dino food, wow some require "Berry Paste - This delicious berry paste is a mix-up of various barries"
omg and some require "Normal Mince - This mince looks a bit bland.

congratulations you found out what its for.. you can use this technical wonder of "try" for many real world applications too, but i wont get into that here.

"The kibble system. Is there a benefit to using the KibbleOMatic over the vanilla system?"
yes, its the reason this mod came to be. why would anyone bother to make something with no benefits at all.

Now we come to,

""Raw Egg Paste - Where can I get this? I have found nothing that provides me with raw egg paste.""

If you use the amazing "try" / "read" or "observe" technique and then combine this with "thought"
you should obtain the special ability called "seeing the obvious"

For example, if you use / "try" on the eggs in the alchemy kit you wont get melon paste.
However if the "try" technique is a bit to adventurous for you then use the "read" or "observe" technique on the items in the alchemy kit.

This is the most offensive reply I have ever gotten. Ironically arrogant in its own rights. Everything you said to do could be done and WAS done. You think I would honestly post something like this without "Trying" or "Attempting" ?

You seriously need to work on your social skills dude. Learn to recognize the difference between somebody trying to help improve something, and somebody attacking something. Every single way you brought something up was completely uncalled for, offensive, and lacking "Better judgement".

Lets try this out then. Shall we? The mod post says:

"Can’t find Egg Paste? Don’t know how to get Meat Paste? Well do I have the tool for you, come on down and pick up the wonderful Alchemy Kit throw in some sparkpowder and meats into this little champ and out comes the good stuff! " - This sounds absolutely great. I love the mod writers ability to post information in a fun way. The problem is though, that this is the ONLY thing on egg paste in the forums, and on the main post that gives us ANY information on it aside from using admin commands to use the item ID.

In short, I found that I needed Raw Egg Paste after the "Attempt" to make dino food. I saw nothing in the alchemy kit on Raw Egg Paste, not a single recipe or anything. Am I blind and missed it after searching for it for 10 minutes? Probably.

I really hope not to be in a heated debate with you. I seriously only started this because there was absolutely NOTHING on item documentation despite your claims on it be "splattered" on the forums. Please point me to the threads. If i'm wrong about it then I want to apologize for apparently littering your board with an attempt to help.

And please don't try to give a smart-alec reply about the "comments" tab. I really hope its not the main source being used for needed information. Its highly inefficient to search 10 pages through 459 comments for something. Even if I went page by page using my browsers search feature.

Edit: I Actually decided to search for the term "Raw" in each of those pages in the hopes of being wrong about this. But all I found was a gentleman asking about where to get raw egg paste, basically in a similar predicament as me. And all that was said about it was a comment by you in a very arrogant way leading to a google definition of "generic". Seriously dude? Are you trying to offend people who are just asking for help?

I eventually discovered that a mechanic in the mod converts any egg to "Raw Egg Paste" and immediately converts it to "Generic", even though I clicked "Dodo egg paste". Thats confusing. And im not the only person to come to this problem. There needs to be a rework of the mechanic, or at least some information telling us if we click "Dodo egg paste" we'll get generic paste instead of "dodo" paste.

If my posting this discussion has offended people in any way, I sincerely apologize. I really do. I just needed help on a few things and figured the community could give some input in an organized way.

""This is the most offensive reply I have ever gotten. Ironically arrogant in its own rights. Everything you said to do could be done and WAS done. You think I would honestly post something like this without "Trying" or "Attempting" ?""

um... if you had done this you would have "gotten generic paste"

"I eventually discovered that a mechanic in the mod converts any egg to "Raw Egg Paste" and immediately converts it to "Generic", even though I clicked "Dodo egg paste"."

Nice work! you used the "Try" / "Attempt" technique xD

in regards to leading people to a google definition of "generic" it was a reply to,

(14 Aug @ 1:29pm
Ok, generic meat paste, where the hell do I get it from? I can see normal and prime mince, but no meat paste...)

definition of "generic" could have also help you out with your little predicament.

i can see how a characteristic of, or by relating to a class or group of things ie "non specific egg matter" could be a bit confusing. =/

Might have to change the name to "Any" raw egg paste i guess.

But hay now with the "Try" / "Attempt" technique as your weapon the world is yours for the taking.

Have fun out there xD

Thats the entire reason I posted this... because I saw nothing which would lead to "Raw egg paste" and didnt want to waste something I thought would give me dodo paste, but which would have given me Generic paste lol.

Anyway I again apologize for any misunderstood attempt to arrogantly draw attention to myself, I simply do not view the "comment" section as a proper channel to impart organized information. I'm gonna rewrite this post to help be more informative for people searching for answers if they can't find anything in-game. Thanks for the help.

You call the OP arrogant, but YOU are the arrogant. Next time think twice before posting, idiot.

Dont worry about it, the whole thing was straightened out and my own OP was a bit too arrogant sounding in the way I brought it out. We're cool buddy. The OP has actually been changed around a lot and is MUCH different than what was there. The problem is that the old discussion comments are still here, which makes it sound... interesting lol.

I can not get anything to turn into meat paste. I tried putting all sorts of meat in the Alchemy kit, with no luck, including raw, cooked, cooked prime, prime jerky and regular jerky, but no paste is made.
