This is then used by right-clicking the mobs, which lowers their moods until they're tamed. Most can be tamed with just a simple whip, which is crafted like a fishing rod, but with the top stick replaced by string. To the delight of everyone, nearly every creature in this mod is tameable with the exception of fish, quagga, and nautilus. Bird eggs, however, are simply thrown at the ground like with chickens. Once you've made something of their DNA, mammal embryos will need to be injected into appropriate hosts like cows, which while then later give birth to them. Cenozoic fossils, for instance, can only be found by analyzing frozen meat found in permablocks and tar drops. Many of these are sourced and produced in a whole different way to dinosaurs, however. Then up above pterodactyls will dominate the skies, while fearsome sea beasts will lurk way below in the watery depths. Soon it won't be just your average dinosaurs roaming the land, but giant mammals like mammoths and huge insects from when the Earth was oxygen-rich. There are actually over forty different species! These are then all divided up into three different categories, which you can learn through checking their DNA color: orange = Mesozoic (dinosaur era), blue = Cenozoic (after dinosaurs), and green = Paleozoic (before dinosaurs). While dinosaurs will be the main attraction for many, this mod set out to feature all sorts of prehistoric beasts and not just fan favorites. Of course, this is a complicated science with no guarantee of success, but before long you'll hopefully have the early stages of some prehistoric life in your hands and not the zombie-like failuresaurus.

Inside the Culture Vat also goes the rather questionably named "Bio-Goo" which is the main agent of the cultivation process. The best thing is to have plenty of stock beforehand, so you can have a variety of DNA to play around with and prioritize.įinally, you'll need the all-important "Culture Vat" to create embryos and eggs from the harvested DNA. With this comes a lot of suspense as the DNA is randomized and you can't predict what will be produced.

The next step will then be building an "Analyzer" to search your bio-fossils for DNA.

These blocks drop a big variety of materials but the ones you're initially going to be after are bio-fossils, which have a 22.5% drop rate. Instead, you need to get to work mining fossil blocks before later unleashing your inner scientist. Apart from a few living fossils that naturally spawn, such as Coelacanth, you won't find any extinct dinosaurs and beasts roaming around when you load up this mob.
