How do you give water to a cooking pot in Ark?

In order to effectively tame dinosaurs and other creatures in ARK: Survival Evolved, you need Kibble, the so-called kibble. These ensure that the dinosaur or creature is tamed 5x faster, which is why you have to be careful which kibble you feed.

Since there are different types and almost every dino has a special kibble, we explain in our guide how to make them and show you all the recipes. In our taming guides, which you can easily find using our search function, we also tell you which kibble you need to feed to which dinosaur.

Making Kibble in ARK: Survival Evolved

To make kibble, you need an Industrial Cooker or Cooking Pot. In the mobile version of ARK, you can craft kibble at a Chef Station or TEK kibble processor.

You then put all the necessary ingredients in this and wait 30 seconds for the kibble to be made.

What does the cooking pot do in Ark?

The Cooking Pot is a structure that functions similar to the Campfire or Industrial Cooker and allows for the cooking of advanced foods and dyes with fuel (Wood, Thatch, Sparkpowder, or Angler Gel) to start up the fire.

How do you use the cooking pot in the raft?

Place items on the four pads surrounding the pot, add Planks to fuel the fire, and press E to begin the cooking process. Use a Clay Bowl to collect the dish once it has finished cooking.
