DINOSAUR ORIGIN SEASON
// CRETACEOUS ERA · DINO RESCUE · FOSSIL ALBUM //
SEASON AT A GLANCE
🦖 What Is It?
Dinosaur Season — Dinosaur Origin — transforms the map into a Cretaceous world. Build prehistoric structures, raise your own Dino companion, hunt Velociraptors and Stegosauruses, and collect ancient fossils.
⚡ Key Mechanic
Your Virus Resistance (from the Biotech Lab) determines which NPC levels you can attack. Higher levels yield more Glory Points, which unlock chests with Badges every 8 hours.
💎 Season Big Change
Trade Hubs (Mon/Wed/Fri) are the biggest shift. They require large Diamond investments for top items like Badges, Orange Hero Fragments, and Plug-in Chests. Save your Diamonds before the season starts.
📅 Schedule
Bio Institute Shop opens Saturdays and Sundays. Ancient Dinosaur event fires every Sunday at 12:00 Apocalypse Time. Trade Hubs appear Mon, Wed, Fri.

SEASONAL BUILDINGS
Progression is gated by two primary seasonal resources: Fern Leaves (produced by buildings) and Cretaceous Scales (dropped by NPCs).
🧬 Biotech Lab — TOP PRIORITY
Increases Virus Resistance. This determines which NPC levels you can attack. Higher NPC levels = more Badges. Rush this above all else.
🌿 Bio Greenhouse
Produces Fern Leaves. Build four by default; a fifth is unlocked via Wartime Investment. The more you have at higher levels, the more Fern Leaf per hour.
⚔️ Command Center
Increases seasonal troop damage. Build only after your Lab and Greenhouses are leveled up.
🛡️ Armory & Fortification
Increases seasonal troop Attack and Defense. Lower priority — come back to these after securing resource production.
SEASONAL MATERIALS
All but one Dino season material is obtained from killing Velociraptors and Stegosauruses. Higher level = more drops. Later in the season a buff doubles egg yield — but don't wait for it!
Ancient Dino Egg
Pinecones
Cretaceous Scales
Fernleaf
HATCH OF LEGENDS
Raise your own Dinosaur — works similarly to the Everfrost Snowman, but this season only. Choice of egg doesn't matter — all give the same buffs, just different skins. Instead of Snowballs use Pet Feed, instead of Snowflakes use Pinecones.
Do daily tasks (they rotate, check every day!) and kill monsters for Pinecones until you hit the daily cap.
↑ All available dinos — same buffs, different skins
FOSSIL ALBUM
20 different types of fossils exist in two rarities. Collecting them unlocks progress rewards and individual activation rewards ranging from basic resources to valuable fragments.
Obtained by buying them in the weekend Bio Institute Shop. Available every Saturday and Sunday throughout the season.
Obtained during the Ancient Dinosaurs Sunday event each week. Requires active participation — events last only a few minutes!
Reward Types
Progress Rewards: As you collect fossils you hit milestones unlocking specific reward tiers. Aim to collect as many as possible across the season.
Activation Rewards: Each individual fossil has a reward ranging from basic resources all the way up to valuable equipment fragments.
↑ The fossil progress bar — collect 20 types for maximum rewards
BIO INSTITUTE SHOP
Available Saturdays and Sundays throughout the season. Items cost Ancient Dino Eggs — farm as many as possible from Velociraptors and Stegosauruses. At max boomer level you can obtain around 20,000 eggs weekly.
The first refresh is free. Subsequent ones cost 200 eggs each.
Available Items
↑ Example shop layout — refreshes every day

F2P PLAYER GUIDE
Dinosaur Season is slightly more challenging for F2P players due to Diamond-heavy Trade Hubs. Here's how to stay competitive:
Focus exclusively on the Biotech Lab and Bio Greenhouses until you can defeat Level 60 NPCs. Do not touch military buildings early.
Join Rallies: If you cannot solo high-level NPCs, join rallies from stronger alliance members to ensure you still receive maximum Glory Points.
Dino Hatching is very F2P friendly. Engage in daily tasks to earn Pine Cones for free power spikes — this system rewards consistent daily play heavily.
Save Diamonds before the season for Trade Hubs on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Capturing hubs also generates Diamond tax envelopes for alliance members.
Switch to Support Mastery Tree at season start for faster building upgrades, increased Fern Leaf output, and bonus Virus Resistance — all free benefits.
