The gameplay is an essential mechanic in survival games.

This page is dedicated to Dinosaur Simulator's gameplay.

Starting game[]

Largefern

First, you need to select a dinosaur, you can select: Triceratops, Tyrannosaurus Rex, or Ornithomimus.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex is a carnivore, meaning that it eats meat, Triceratops is a herbivore meaning it eats plants, Ornithomimus is an omnivore, meaning it can eat both meat and plants.

Then, when you made your choice, go out of the menu and press the "Play" button, then you'll spawn.

First minutes[]

The world is against you, so keep your eyes open. You are very weak and cannot defend yourself, so you have to hide and run. You will most likely see NPC Dinosaurs do not go near them. DO NOT start attacking everyone when you spawn, as being friendly will likely be able to have some players earn your trust. You still have to be careful as some dinosaurs will still attack you.

Stats and important notes for survival[]

There are 3 basic stats you need to know: Hunger, Thirst, and Health. Hunger is the red bar that slowly decreases over time. When it gets to a certain point (A low point), you will start to lose health.

Hunger is the red bar on the top of your screen. It decreases over time if you do not fill your hunger. If you get below 20% of the maximum Hunger amount (Hunger points), you will start to take damage.

If you are a herbivore, you can eat ferns or trees to survive. This depends on the seasons though, as autumn and winter trees (yellow and white), are not edible.

Thirst is the blue bar that, like hunger, decreases over time. When it gets to 20, you start to lose health.

Health is how much damage you can withstand before dying. Health can be lowered by:

  • Starving
  • Dehydration
  • Attacks from other creatures
  • Drowning
  • Moistness (if a sea creature is on land)
  • Unsubmerged for too long (if a sea creature or a semi-aquatic)

Losing health also makes you slower. This means if you get to yellow health (nearly half your original health) you get slower and to red health (that also changes depending on the creature you are) you get even slower.

Growing to Juvenile[]

You will grow after a few minutes, the first stage is Baby, then, when you got 50% of growth, you will grow into Child, and only then Juvenile.

When you are 50% juvenile, the percent bar at the bottom left-hand corner of your screen will change to young adult.

You get your stats boosted, having more health and damage depending on how much the creature started with. However, you get slower.

Growing to Adult[]

After some minutes you will grow into an Adult. By now you are slower, stronger, and can lay eggs (To lay eggs just press X on your keyboard or press the button "Lay egg" on mobile).

Most likely you will be able to kill weaker players and 'Bot' Dinosaurs, but you cannot kill every Dinosaur.

The eggs, when hatched will reveal a smaller version of the layer of the egg, they give you a great source of food once killed (if you're a carnivore). You can only lay 3 eggs at a time. To lay more they have to despawn.

Your health and attack stats are now higher than the baby stage and even juvenile.

Trivia: Eggs can give you 10 hunger when laid.

Elder stage[]

When you get 100% Adult, you are an Elder. This means you can't grow anymore.

However, you don't die of age, your days keep going.

Depending on the creature, however, the days that take to elder change. For example, Barosaurus takes 60 days to grow (Every Dinosaur starts on 1 day)

And with that, you earn DNA.

But if you die, You lose all days and start over

DNA[]

Once you have obtained a bit of DNA, you can buy new dinosaurs and skins.

To do this, click on the skin or dinosaur you want to buy. Then click Buy. It will ask if you are sure you want this dino. Click yes. Then go back to the dinosaur or skin and click select. When you spawn, you will be that dino or skin.
