The expedition gameplay overhaul.
A summary of features - for more details check out the Complete Feature Guide below
Digsite-Based Research
- Research and unlock entire digsites
Different Uses and Experiences - Plan Out Your Progress
Regular Digsite
- Contains a number of dinosaur genomes
- Medium or High genome yield per species (Excluding Rare species)
- New fossil deposits are found for 2 more star ratings after the digsite becomes available
- Can contain Trace fossils of extra dinosaurs
Starter Digsite
- 3 High-DNA, low- or mid-tier dinosaurs
- Complete genomes at 1 or 2 stars
- Very different types of dinosaurs in each Starter Digsite
- Discounted - cheaper than the collective price of the DNA would be in a Regular Digsite
Single-Species Digsite
- Low investment cost
- One complete dinosaur genome
- Discounted - cheaper than the collective price of the DNA would be in a Regular Digsite
Expansive Digsite
- Good long-term investment
- Unlockable at 0 stars, new deposits found all the way to the end of the game
- Low genome of few species at 0 stars
- High genome of many species at 4 stars
- Discounted - cheaper than the collective price of the DNA would be in a Regular Digsite
Black Market
- Completely random fossils from any digsite in the world (Depending on level of upgrade)
- Good to fill incomplete genomes ahead of "official" progression
- Pay only for fossils you purchase, not to check what's available
- Some Charters include access to Mines, a special digsite where you can mine Gold, Silver or Opal
- Like fossils, these minerals come in different qualities
- Some opal contains traces of dinosaur DNA - sell it at opal prices or extract the DNA, the choice is yours!
- The species, amount of initial DNA, and amount of final DNA available can be seen in the Charters screen
- Each (+) indicates a 10% threshold
- Trace fossils give less than 50% DNA in a digsite
- Adjusted starting cash on Challenge Mode islands to make these changes viable.
Grindless Dinosaur Stat Progression
- 5 tiers of viability gene

⚠️ Cons
