Tracking Progress and Earning Advancements

Understanding Advancements

When you complete a full skeleton by placing all required pieces, the mod automatically grants you an advancement. This advancement displays the translated scientific name of the creature you've assembled, confirming your discovery and adding to your collection record.

Completing Skeleton Collections

Each fossil type has a specific number of pieces needed for completion—track how many pieces you've collected for each species. Once you have all pieces for a skeleton, place them in your museum and receive your advancement. The advancement system serves as both a reward and a checklist for your paleontological progress.

Building Your Museum Legacy

As you earn advancements, you're building a record of your discoveries. With over 500 unique fossils available, there's a massive amount of content to unlock. Focus on completing one skeleton at a time, or hunt for specific creatures across different time periods. Each advancement represents a milestone in your museum's development and shows the breadth of ancient life you've successfully reconstructed.
