How to Use the Analyzer to Create DNA Disks

Preparing the Analyzer Inputs

Once you have safely extracted a fossil using Plaster, the next step is turning that raw sample into usable genetic data. For this stage, you must craft and place an Analyzer, which is one of the mod's core mid-game genetic machines. Because laboratory equipment uses resource-heavy recipes, make sure you have a steady supply of materials before setting up your lab.

To run a single analysis cycle, gather these three items:

• An extracted Fossil
• Common Nucleotides
• A Disk Drive

Generating Period and DNA Disks

1. Right-click the placed Analyzer block to open its processing interface.

2. Place your extracted Fossil, Common Nucleotides, and a Disk Drive into the input slots.

3.

4. Remove the resulting Period Disk from the output slot and place it into your hotbar.

5. Hold the Period Disk in your hand and right-click in the air.

Right-clicking converts the Period Disk directly into a DNA Disk. This finalized disk holds the specific genetic data needed to clone an ancient plant or prehistoric animal inside the Vat Machine.
