How To Give Pets Kibble In Rimworld

Feeding your pets efficiently is essential for maintaining a thriving colony in Rimworld. Kibble is one of the best food sources for your animals because it doesn’t rot and keeps your livestock healthy and happy. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the complete process of creating kibble and setting up your animals to eat it automatically.

Understanding Kibble

Before you can feed kibble to your pets, you need to understand what it is and why it’s valuable. Kibble is animal feed made from mixed meat and plant sources. While humans technically can eat it, they really don’t like it, so it’s best reserved for your animals. The major advantage of kibble is that it will not rot, making it an excellent long-term food storage solution for your colony’s livestock.

Creating a Kibble Stockpile

The first step in feeding your pets kibble is to create a dedicated stockpile zone. Start by creating a new stockpile in your colony.

Once your stockpile is created, click on the storage settings to configure what items it will hold.

Navigate to the Food category and select Kibble from the available options.

Set the priority of the kibble storage to “Critical.” This ensures that whenever kibble is produced in your colony, it will automatically be transported and stored in this zone, keeping it within reach of your animals.

How Kibble Gets Fed to Animals

Once you’ve set up your kibble stockpile with critical priority, the process becomes automatic. Your animals will instinctively eat the kibble whenever they have access to it. There’s no additional action required—simply ensure the kibble is available in a zone your animals can reach, and they’ll handle the rest.

Making Kibble at the Butcher Table

To produce kibble, you’ll need to use the butcher table—not the stove. Head to your butcher table and access the bills menu to add a new bill for kibble production.

Kibble Ingredients

Making kibble requires two main ingredient types:

Plant Matter: Hay is the easiest and most efficient plant source for kibble production.

Protein Sources: You can use meat, milk, or eggs. Eggs are particularly useful if you have egg boxes set up in your colony.

Summary

Feeding your pets kibble in Rimworld is straightforward once you understand the process. Create a dedicated kibble stockpile with critical priority, set up a kibble production bill at your butcher table using hay and protein sources, and your animals will automatically consume the kibble as needed. Since kibble doesn’t rot, this system provides reliable, long-term nutrition for your entire menagerie without constant management.
