Fossilsarcheology Origins FAQ

Fossils are buried underground and can be found by mining through stone, dirt, and gravel in various biomes. Look for fossil blocks that stand out from regular terrain, or use the mod's tools to help locate them faster.

You need a complete or near-complete fossil, a way to extract its DNA (using the mod's extraction tools), and an incubator or similar device to hatch the creature. The process requires patience as the incubation takes time.

Yes, tamed dinosaurs can breed if you have both a male and female of the same species and provide them with food and space. Their offspring will inherit genetic traits from both parents, creating unique variations.

Dinosaurs need regular food from a feeding trough, appropriate biome conditions, and protection from hostile mobs or starvation. Make sure you're feeding them consistently and they have enough space to roam.

Each dinosaur's genes determine its size, color, speed, and behavior traits. You can observe these differences visually on individual creatures, and breeding allows you to influence which traits appear in offspring.

Taming makes a dinosaur loyal to you so it won't attack and will follow commands, while riding lets you mount certain large species to travel faster. Not all dinosaurs can be ridden—only larger species support it.

Different dinosaur species prefer different environments, and they may become stressed or unhappy in unsuitable biomes. Keeping them in appropriate climates helps them stay healthy and breed successfully.

Place a regular composter block in your world and fill it with food items that dinosaurs eat. Tamed and wild dinosaurs nearby will eat from it automatically when hungry.

Yes, the mod scatters lore about the fallen Tusken empire throughout the world in the form of ruins, artifacts, and ancient structures. Exploring and reading these discoveries reveals the mod's backstory.

Large herds of dinosaurs and many active creatures can impact performance, especially on lower-end systems. Consider limiting the number of dinosaurs you keep active or adjusting mod settings to balance gameplay and performance.
