Progression: Grip, ranch & Fuse

Grip vs Stamina

Listing says Grip; HUD says Stamina — same number. Machine builds the base, one Aura multiplies it, Index Claim All adds permanent max. Goals below are play targets, not Airlines unlocks.

If your Stamina is at or below a dino's Required value, you get thrown. Clearing Required starts the ride — green drains against the pink heart, and Jump refills green.

Stamina sources

Grip grows three ways: Dino Machine for base, one Aura as a multiplier, and Index Claim All for permanent max on first species and variants.

Stamina goals

Stamina checkpoints before harder plates. These are not Airlines unlock numbers.

Ranch and income

Only Active dinos earn Cash/s. Fill slots with Equip Best, sell weak Index duplicates, then chase size and rarity for bigger rates.

• Active vs stored. Only Active dinos earn Cash/s. Pens fill Active (for example 11/11) with more stored. Upgrade when Active is full and better catches keep coming.
• Equip Best. Fill Active from the pen (and later in the field). Swap in higher rarity, size, or zone earners. Unequip junk before Fuse.
• Cash while riding. Press E on a pen dino to ride it — it keeps earning while mounted. Higher rarity, size, and home zone pay more. Active Cash funds Auras, Airlines, and Machine levels.
• Sell stall. SELL DINOS clears weak stock. Prefer commons you already claimed in the Index.
• Offline Cash. After Equip Best, the pen can show a daily Cash estimate.

Cash/s

Cash/s from nameplates. Rates climb with rarity, size, and zone. Use the plate on the dino you catch.

Size and variants

Size prefixes, variants like GOLDEN or MAGMA, rarity colors, and Secret chat callouts change what a catch is worth.

• Size prefixes. TINY, BIG, GIANT, and similar. Fuse can push size up (BIG to GIANT).
• Variants. GOLDEN, MAGMA, Fossil, Cosmic, event exclusives like Divine Meteorborn. Magma paid x4 during Meteor Storm. Variants count as Index firsts.
• Rarity band. Store lists Common to Divine plus Secrets. Index colors Uncommon through Mythic. Match your Index.
• Secrets. Announced in chat with a zone name. No posted schedule. Notices on Eras.

Machine, Index, Aura, Fuse

Ranch income funds the Machine, Claim All new Index entries, buy the next Aura you can afford, then Fuse extras for size. Aura prices are on Auras.

1. Recommended order. Ranch income → Machine → Index firsts → affordable Aura → Fuse extras → Airlines on Eras. Skipping Machine for one Aura slows later zones.
2. Machine vs Aura. Keep the same Aura on when you compare Machine sessions so you see real base gains. Even Divine fails if Required is still above your base.
3. Index before Fuse. Claim All new species and variants first, then Fuse extras. Rules table below.

Dino Index

Open Index from the blue book button. CLAIM ALL pays Cash and permanent Stamina for firsts. Zone sets show COMPLETE when filled (Plains 6/6 paid $8.5K and +120). Footer tracks Unlocked (26/61 on the panel). Variants have their own Claim rewards.

Fuse rules

Three same-type dinos, 50% base success, ingredients spent either way. Claim Index firsts before you Fuse.

Robux buys

Magma Meteor Chest odds, Grip training multipliers, Magma Colossal, Airlines flyers, and Aura Robux buys. None of these clear Required by themselves.

• Magma Meteor Chest. Limited-time Robux Shop chest. Every creature from the chest is always MAGMA. Species odds and Robux bundles are below. 250 Shards = 1 chest. Timer shows Leaving Soon on the Shop card.
• Grip multipliers. Robux Grip mults (x2–x256) stack and speed Machine Stamina gain. They do not clear Required. Price table below.
• Magma Colossal T-Rex. 500 Robux. Early Active earner; free catches and chest rolls can out-earn it later. Price is on the Game Store.
• Airlines flyers. Jurassic Airlines sells buy-once Pteranodons by zone (Cash or Robux). Helps travel. Does not raise Grip. Flyer table on Eras.
• Aura Robux buys. Many levels offer Cash or Robux. Still one equipped. Ladder on Auras.
• Starter Pack. One-time lobby pack at 99 Robux: limited Rainbow Giant Raptor, Cash, permanent Stamina, and Silver Aura. Details on Auras.

Magma Meteor Chest

Limited-time featured Shop chest (Leaving Soon). Robux or 250 Shards per chest. Tagline: Every creature: always MAGMA. Species odds are on the ODDS panel. A Magma King Yeti (Eternal) plate at $15M/s is one outcome — not every 7.5% roll.

Chest species odds

Chest size odds

Grip Robux multipliers

Shop Grip multipliers stack. Each tier speeds how fast the Dino Machine raises Stamina. Full set through x256 is 597 R$ at the prices below. Pair with Machine Cash upgrades and one Aura; a strong mount alone does not clear Required.

Progression mistakes

Aura-only spends, Fuse before Claim All, Airlines with weak Grip, and chest rolls without a Stamina plan.

• Dumping all Cash into one Aura while the Dino Machine stays low
• Fusing a first species or variant before Index Claim All
• Buying an Airlines flyer when every plate in that zone still throws you
• Opening Meteor Chests with no Grip plan — a $15M/s mount still throws on high Required
