Planning Your Mid-Game Prehistoric Sanctuary and Lab

Preparing for Resource-Heavy Progression

Primordial Dawn is balanced around mid-game survival. Both creating the high-tier laboratory machines and keeping them running require valuable resources. Before you attempt to revive all 20+ prehistoric animal species and 2 ancient plants, set up an organized base with plenty of storage near your mining operations.

Full Cloning Workflow Checklist

To keep your laboratory running smoothly without stalling between steps, stockpile consumables for the entire four-part production chain:

1. Field Extraction: Keep Plaster on hand whenever you go underground so you can right-click Encased Fossil blocks on sight.

2. Data Analysis: Maintain a supply of Common Nucleotides and Disk Drives next to your Analyzer to turn fossils into Period Disks.

3. Disk Conversion: Remember to hold each Period Disk and right-click to turn it into a usable DNA Disk.

4. Vat Cloning: Stockpile Nutrients and DNA Nucleotides next to your Vat Machine so you can immediately incubate your DNA Disks into Spawn Eggs.

Building the Sanctuary

Before using your hard-earned Spawn Eggs, build dedicated enclosures for your prehistoric wildlife and plots for your ancient plants. Separating species into fenced or walled habitats ensures your newly hatched fauna stay safe and contained inside your sanctuary.
