FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

When you reach 60% growth, you are considered an adult. If you are female, you can reproduce parthenogenetically to lay an egg. Once the egg develops to 100%, you can choose for the offspring to evolve into a new species.

The higher your nutrition, the higher the chance of laying an Evolution Egg. Evolution Eggs represent the potential to become a higher-tier creature.

Laying eggs consumes nutrition (larger body size consumes more). Higher nutrition increases the probability of offspring becoming Evolution Eggs. If breed is too low (near 0), egg generation rate is extremely slow or stopped, making it impossible to produce enough eggs for laying.

The first Evolution Egg of each species is guaranteed to be female. This is a system safety net to ensure players can always obtain a female offspring for continued breeding.

Nests provide protection for eggs and extend their preservation time. Nests also accelerate egg incubation (+50%) and provide resurrection effects. Resting on the nest to "brood" boosts incubation to +100%.

First, your nest must contain a 100% developed egg. When you die, you can choose to resurrect as this egg.

There are four resurrection methods after death. The first three are checked in priority order, but Egg Rebirth overrides all others — if your nest has a 100% developed egg, you will always revive as that egg.

• Era Rebirth (server rule Era Rebirth rule): Triggers when era > 1. Revives as the same race with era −1.
• Downgrade Rebirth (server rule Downgrade Rebirth rule): Triggers when you have an evolution source, are the lineage founder, and have unlocked a parent race. Revives as the parent race at era 1.
• Male Rebirth (server rule Male Rebirth rule): Triggers when male with an evolution source. Revives as the evolution source race at era 1.
• Egg Rebirth (always available): Triggers when a 100% developed egg exists in your nest. Revives as that egg. This overrides all other resurrection types.

Males can seek females of the same species to mate, or ask friends to invite them to hatch, becoming the other's offspring.

Both parties must be of the same species and adults. A prompt appears when close, allowing you to send an invitation. Direct relatives (parents/children/siblings sharing a mother or father) are blocked by the system from mating — there is no inbreeding penalty because it is outright prevented.

After mating, the male approaches the female and can invite her to lay eggs (ensure the female has 2 eggs inside).

Offspring from eggs laid by invitation inherit genes from both parents, with a chance to synthesize higher genes and a higher probability of being Evolution Eggs.

Complete Nest (no brooding): +50% speed. Brooding on a complete nest: +100% speed. High temperature weather: +25% speed (stacks with nest). Low temperature weather: -33% speed.

The other party must have unlocked this dinosaur (previously owned it) to receive the invitation.

Character death; evolution into a new dinosaur; mutual agreement to dissolve. There is a 1-hour cooldown after dissolving.

• Character death.
• Evolution into a new dinosaur.
• Mutual agreement to dissolve.
• There is a 10-minute cooldown after dissolving.

Temperature at laying determines gender: >30°C: 70% chance female. <20°C: 70% chance male. 20°C-30°C: 50% chance female.

One character can own only one nest.

You can own up to 6 eggs simultaneously; you cannot lay more if this limit is exceeded.

Save files are preserved after going offline, and eggs continue to develop.

Note: If you close the app directly, the character remains for 60 seconds and may be attacked. Use “Safe Exit” in the top right to be safe.

Eat fresh food to improve nutrition ratio. Higher nutrition means faster growth and higher Evolution Egg chance.

Males have stronger survivability, higher damage, faster growth, and default special genes. Males can resurrect once with a level drop (unless hatched by invitation).

Genes represent different attribute Buffs and Debuffs.

Small carnivores have specific ant hills as food sources or can catch fish in lakes. Medium/Large carnivores must hunt.

Herbivores generally eat bushes; giant creatures like sauropods eat tree leaves.

If you own a nest, you will spawn near it after death.

They get unique hydrophilic genes, offsetting defense decay in water. They can stay underwater longer, consume less oxygen, and perform more actions in water.

Only amphibious, hydrophilic, and aquatic creatures can pick up objects and eat while in water. Land and flying creatures cannot pick up items or eat/drink when submerged.

Muscles affect attack stamina recovery speed. Higher muscle efficiency means faster stamina recovery during combat.

Characters have a five-channel energy allocation system. Each channel's ratio can be adjusted in the gene panel (10%-65%), with a total not exceeding 100%:

• Lung Energy (default 20%): Oxygen output + sprint stamina recovery speed
• Heart Energy (default 25%): Health recovery speed
• Defense Energy (default 20%): Shield recovery speed
• Muscle Energy (default 20%): Attack stamina recovery speed
• Growth Energy (default 15%): Growth speed + egg development speed
• Higher ratios increase the corresponding function's efficiency (up to 1.35×); below default reduces it.

On enabled servers, hatched offspring can follow commands:

• Standby: Stay put, no action.
• Attack: Actively attack nearby threats.
• Defend: Counterattack only if attacked.
• Protect: Counterattack only if the owner is attacked.
• Patrol: Patrol a range and attack threats.
• Flee: Run away from threats until safe.
• Focus Attack: Attack the master's designated target.

You cannot destroy them if you are in a protection period. Also, if your damage is too low to penetrate the nest's defense, you deal no damage.

Provides blood regeneration by consuming oxygen to produce health recovery. Low oxygen/energy reduces heart output. Heart efficiency is affected by the "Heart energy allocation ratio". The heart does not take damage from oxygen shortage alone — it is only damaged by specific attacks that apply the Heart Failure debuff.

Converts food/water to energy for organs. Insufficient food lowers energy supply, causing organ failure.

Lungs produce oxygen (v4.0+: no longer consumes the energy pool; output efficiency is controlled solely by the "Lung energy allocation ratio"). Damaged lungs produce less oxygen, potentially leading to hypoxia. Different habits (aquatic/amphibious/hydrophilic) have different breath-hold times and breathing mechanics underwater.

Breed (fertility) is a fixed efficiency multiplier that determines egg generation rate inside the body — it is NOT consumed per egg laid. Higher breed means faster egg formation. At 0 breed, egg generation stops (sterility). Breed does not decrease from laying eggs — it only decreases when damaged by specific attacks.

Represents how many eggs can assume form inside the body at once; generated automatically.

Character growth is divided into the following stages:

• CHILD: 0%-20%, smallest size, weakest survival
• JUVENILE: 20%-40%, begins independent foraging
• YOUTH: 40%-60%, approaching adult size
• ADULT: 60%-80%, sexually mature, can breed (growth speed ×0.75)
• STRONG: 80%-100%, peak attributes (growth speed ×0.5)

Gene Bank saves "100% Growth" characters preventing overwrite. Slots limit how many characters an account can save. You can switch to saved characters anytime. Unsaved characters are overwritten by new creations or hatch invitations.

Disconnections may be due to network fluctuations or server maintenance. Daily maintenance restarts occur around UTC 06:00 and take 1-5 minutes.

A shield indicates a protection period (cannot be attacked). Whether you can penetrate the shield depends on your Penetration level vs. the defender's Armor/Tenacity level (see Armor Penetration system), not on raw combat power difference. You cannot destroy eggs/nests while under protection.

Combat power difference (within/above 50 points) mainly affects SAN value changes and kill skill proficiency bonuses — it is not directly related to shield penetration.

Your offspring and mates have default damage immunity.

Bleeding and fractures are duration-based DEBUFFs that expire automatically over time (exact duration depends on the source). Fractures reduce speed and prevent dash attacks and evades. The "Calcification" gene grants complete immunity to fractures. Bleeding causes continuous health loss. Resting does not directly remove these DEBUFFs but improves overall recovery efficiency.

If you are in a team, roaring will allow your teammates to see your position and current status (health, stamina, etc.) on the map and in the game view, making team coordination easier.

Being attacked puts you in combat state (no healing). Healing starts 30s after leaving combat.
