How it works

  • Grinds: tamed creatures of its tribe, and wild babies, that walk onto it while it is on; never vehicles, rafts, temporary mission creatures, Giant Bees, the Desert Titan's flock, summoned spirit beasts and feline forms, companion creatures or helper wisps
  • Kibble, first rule that applies: 1) the creature's own Bio-Grinder kibble setting; 2) Titans, bosses, Alpha Elite, raid creatures skip 3 to 5; 3) egg layers: kibble of egg size; 4) tamable: highest kibble taken as taming food; 5) others: drag weight
  • Egg size to kibble: extra small Basic Kibble, small Simple Kibble, medium Regular Kibble, large Superior Kibble, extra large Exceptional Kibble, special Extraordinary Kibble
  • Drag weight to kibble: from 0 Basic Kibble, 75 Simple Kibble, 150 Regular Kibble, 285 Superior Kibble, 550 Exceptional Kibble, 950 Extraordinary Kibble
  • Amount: (base level × 0.05, at least 1) × age, rounded down, + 1; times the creature's own multiplier when it has its own kibble setting
  • Babies give kibble only 10% of the time
  • Also gives the resources of the creature's corpse and drops the creature's inventory at the grinder; the drop lasts 30 minutes
