Movement
While on Land
- Forward — W or ↑ or Move Thumbstick Forward
- Left — A or ← or Move Thumbstick Left
- Right — D or → or Move Thumbstick Right
- Back — S or ↓ or Move Thumbstick Back
- Sprint — ⇧ Shiftor LT or Tap Sprint Button (Sprinting depletes the player's energy bar, and makes hunger and thirst fall faster.)
- Jump — Space or Aor Tap Jump Button (If the user is being grabbed by something, rapidly pressing space will allow you to escape their hold.)
- Glide — 2x Space or Tap Jump Button (Double tap space to start gliding.)
- Teleport — V (For normal players it only works in a private server created by them. Developers can use it anywhere.)
- Climb — Left Click (only for Balaur, Pteranodon, Avinychus, Troodon, Megalania, Machimosaurus, Istiodactylus, Mayhem Crawler, and Mayhem Excavator, you must click on a tree in order to climb on it.)
Holding W or S and then holding A or D will make the player move diagonally.
While in Water or Air
All controls are identical to those on land, however, up and down motion is possible.
- Up — Qor Y or Swim Up+Fly Up (Q or Y is also used to lift off the ground and begin flying.)
- Down — Eor B or Swim Down+Fly Down (E or B is also used to land when held until the player alights on the ground.)
Note: Sometimes the player may become stuck in place while in flight and space will not toggle movement. If this happens, use E to land, and then Q to take flight again, then try using Space to toggle movement. If this does not work, click the main menu button on the bottom-center of the screen, wait until the menu appears, then click play to resume, and try flying and toggling with Space once more. If this still does not work, there may be an issue with the server you are currently in, and if that is the case, it is suggested you leave that server and try a different one.
Interacting with Other Creatures
- Attack — LMB or Left Click or Attack (The player must be in the range of another player or NPC to cause damage.)
- AOE Attack — 1or AOE Attack (Area of Effect; it does less damage than the regular attack, but hits 360 degrees. Using the AOE attack will also cause your character to roar).
- Target Lock — F (Mouse must be over another player/AI to work. The camera will follow the target.)
- Pick Up — RMB or Right Click (Herbivores cannot pick up dinos.)
Carnivores / Omnivores can only pick up dinos that are much smaller than them. To put down what you picked up, Right Click the ground. If you kill a dino while holding it, and it becomes stuck in your mouth, to be able to put it down you must Right Click it again to 'pick it up' a second time, then Right Click the ground to put it down. On mobile, a button on the top corner to right-click and then tap on a dinosaur smaller than you then you can grab it tap the ground to drop the dinosaur.
Stat Replenishing
- Drinking and Eating — LMB or Left Click or Tap Screen
- Sleep — Z or LMBor Sleep(This replenishes energy and only a 1/10 of your health per 5 seconds, and 2 energy per second. The player can still sleep if the energy bar is full, but cannot be started at max energy. Due to roleplay.)
The player must be right next to water or food with their mouse over it to drink. If you cannot eat, check to see it is the right type of food. Carnivores eat dead dinos or the frozen green Snacks found all over the map, preferably meant for small dinos. Herbivores eat ferns or when trees are either green or pink (green in summer, pink in spring).
Standing Still or Not Sprinting/Flying - The player gains 1/50 of their health every 5 seconds.
Laying Eggs and Controlling Babies
- Lay Egg — X or Lay Egg(The player must be an adult or elder to lay eggs. There can only be three 'active' children per player at once. Children are considered 'active' even when they are killed and must be completely eaten or despawn if you want to lay another egg. You can eat other player's eggs, however, if you eat another pack member egg it will not give you food. When laying an egg, you will lose 10 hunger points)
- Roar — R or Roar (Roaring will make your children roam around the area they are in. They will attack players and NPCs with different diets than them. Only babies of NPC dinosaurs will attack) If you are playing as the Tusoteuthis or any Mayhem skin, roaring will make your creature change colors. It can also be used as communication with other players.
- Growl — Gor Growl (Growling will make your children stay in place. They will not move or attack until you command them to, and nor will they eat or drink.) It can also be used as communication with other players.
- Call — Cor Call (Calling will make your children follow you. Use this to cancel the growl or roar commands.) It can also be used as communication with other players.
Note: You can attack your children so be careful using AoE, or use it to replenish hunger for carnivores
