Kibble+

## Kibble+ Goal

Kibble+ Aims to add an alternative way to have the high rate feel, with the vanilla resource grind.

A common problem with increasing the rates of a server comes with a low resource cost for players to progress. Making the kibble system null and void and preventing any kind of gameplay loop outside of knockout and place one easy to find material into the dinosaur. The same goes for the mating system, mutations, and various other gameplay mechanics. Kibble+ provides those time respecting features through an alternative method. Resource requirements and PvE farming.

All Kibble+ kibble tied to the base vanilla tier system can only be used on dinos with preferred kibble diet matching that vanilla kibble.

1. Basic
2. Simple
3. Regular
4. Superior
5. Exceptional
6. Extraordinary

As hunger kibble+ continues to develop it will cover dinosaurs outside of the kibble hierarchy, as not all dino's use kibble but still require food.

If you recognize a dinosaur that does not utilize kibble as it's preferred taming method. Please let me know so I can continue to track these and develop alternative kibble-like solutions. Thus allowing for the entire vanilla base game to have a system a revamped alternative solution to fast taming outside of very high taming rates.

## Kibble Cooking Pot

Currently there is only one tier of crafting bench for kibble+. The Kibble cooker provides all recipes for kibble+ and is auto craft by default.

## Hunger Kibble

Hunger kibble is an item used by Kibble+ to reduce the food of a wild dino rapidly. However, it has to be crafted and prepared ahead of time. The vast majority of kibble additions in Kibble+ follow the basic kibble tier system, but are not backwards compatible. I.E. a superior hunger kibble will not work on a dino who's preferred kibble is basic. There are 6 tiers of kibble currently, and there will be additional kibble-like or kibble items added to cover dinos that don't follow the kibble system.

## Imprint Kibble

Following the trend above, the imprint kibble from Kibble+ provides a fast method to imprint a baby dino while having to farm the materials for the consumable. Currently the imprint kibble 100%'s a dino **baby** when consumed. It also follows the base kibble tiers.

## Maturation Kibble

As the other kibbles in the pack, this kibble follows the tier system provided by the base kibble system. When used on a baby dino it will advance it to the next development stage. Baby > Adolescent > Juvenile > Adult. This means for a full mature you'll need to craft 3 of these. As kibble+ continues to develop the recipes for these will be modified to a more balanced format. Making more powerful kibble require more rare drops. This will make the player have to gather resources potentially ignored in the past.

## Mutation Kibble

As the other kibbles in the pack, this kibble follows the tier system provided by the base kibble system. Mutation kibble is a work in progress. The idea behind it is to be able to invoke a chance at creating a male or female mutation on the baby. It will never create a 21st male or female mutation and will respect the server settings for mutation limits. Mutation kibble is currently being tested and seems to work for the most part. If you are using this feature, expect bugs more common than the other kibble.

## Roadmap

* Recipes for individual consumables - The vision here is a good set of recipes that force farming/resource gathering without feeling too grindy. While also understanding higher rate servers will be able to provide these materials much more quickly.
* Kibble variants for Dinos that don't have a preferred kibble.
* Balancing Values - Currently need to get the base values correct so that it feels good to use but doesn't feel too easy.
* Models/Icons - Current icons are just AI generated and current cooking pot is just a recolor so you can identify it from other cooking pots.
* Crafting Speeds - Currently inherits narcotic crafting timer and may adjust to make it feel more engaging.
* INI editing - Once base values feel healthy. Adjusting the consumables to have more control via ini settings for server owners.
* Mutation Kibble balancing and correct display feedback.
