The rookie route

Follow this order once. Every step uses a mechanic confirmed on the official game listing; advice is clearly separated from game facts.

  1. 01

    Claim starter cash

    Redeem the official code Dino for 20,000 Cash before buying parts.

    Dino
  2. 02

    Buy a small set of parts

    Use the part-buying system, but keep enough cash to correct a first build.

  3. 03

    Assemble one complete dino

    Attach parts into one custom dinosaur before spreading cash across experiments.

  4. 04

    Check its cash output

    Dinosaurs generate cash. Use the live income display to compare changes rather than guessing.

  5. 05

    Protect the producer

    Build a base around the dinosaur so your income engine is not left exposed.

  6. 06

    Repeat, then inspect Rebirth

    Improve the buy–build–earn loop; read the current in-game Rebirth prompt before accepting a reset.

THE ENGINE

Parts become dinos.
Dinos become cash.

The official loop is simple enough to learn quickly and deep enough to repeat: buy parts, assemble a custom dinosaur, let it produce, protect it with a base, then consider Rebirth when the current prompt makes sense.

BUILD BENCH

Make changes on purpose.

The game lets you remove a part by double-clicking it. That tiny control matters: it turns a bad placement into an edit, not a lost build.

  • Finish one working dinosaur before splitting your budget.
  • Change one part, then compare the displayed output.
  • Double-click a misplaced part to remove it.

QUICK ANSWERS

Before you Rebirth…

Open the full FAQ →
What do you do in Build a Dinosaur?

You buy dinosaur parts, assemble a custom dinosaur, generate cash, build a base to protect your dinosaurs, and use the Rebirth system for longer-term progression.

Do dinosaurs earn while you are offline?

Yes. The official game description explicitly says dinosaurs earn offline. A public cap or exact calculation is not documented, so collect after returning and use the amount shown in your current server.

How do I delete a dinosaur part?

Double-click the part. This control is stated directly in the official game description.

When should I Rebirth?

Only after reading the current in-game confirmation and deciding you can rebuild quickly. Rebirth is confirmed, but its exact cost, reset list, and rewards are not published in the official description and may change.

FACT-CHECK PROMISE No invented part tiers, income rates, Rebirth costs, or reset rewards. When the official listing does not document a number, this guide tells you to read the current in-game display.
