❤️ Health
Your health bar shows how much health your dinosaur currently has.
Low health: You are injured and vulnerable. Health can recover over time depending on your dinosaur and situation. Avoid unnecessary fights when badly injured.
💤 Resting
Resting can help your dinosaur recover depending on its mechanics.
Find somewhere safe before resting.
Never assume you're safe just because you're sitting down!
⚡ Stamina
You Cannot regenerate stamina while moving fast if your pool is too low,and resting via H key is required to recover from deep exhaustion.
Stamina Recovery Thresholds
- 75% to 100% Stamina: You can recover stamina while trotting, walking, standing, or resting.
- 50% to 75% Stamina: Trotting no longer works. You must walk, stand still, or rest to recover.
- 25% to 50% Stamina: Walking and standing no longer work. You must sit/rest to recover.
- 0% to 25% Stamina: Deep rest (holding H to lie down) is strictly required to gain any stamina back
Stamina is used for things like:
- Sprinting
- Jumping
- Attacking
- Certain abilities
Beginner tip: Don't drain your stamina under 60% when travelling. Keep some in reserve in case you need to escape a predator or chase prey.
🍖 Food
Your food bar shows how much food your dinosaur has.
When it gets low, you need to find food before starving.
Depending on your dinosaur, food may come from:
- Carcasses
- Plants
- Fish
- Other food sources
Tip: Don't wait until you're completely empty before looking for food!
Mechanics of Overeating
- The Warning: Your stomach icon starts flashing when you are close to the limit.
-
The Penalty: Eating past the limit causes you to purge, clearing your food, water, and accrued diet nutrients.
-
Vomit Sickness: Your stamina, hunger, and thirst bars turn yellow, get capped at reduced percentages, and slowly recover over time. Eating while sick yields zero nutritional value.
-
The Cure: You can cure vomit sickness early by finding and eating from a Salt Deposit, though this drains some of your current nutrients.
Exceptions and Rules
No-Penalty Dinos: Ceratosaurus and Deinosuchus are exceptions and can overeat without vomiting (for Ceratosaurus, overindulging even strengthens its rotting bite toxicity).
Mutations: Certain mutations (like specific Pteranodon traits or secret slot unlocks) can alter or expand your overeating thresholds.
💧Water
Your water bar shows how hydrated you are. Find a water source when your thirst gets low
⚠️ Be careful around water! Rivers and lakes can be dangerous places because predators may be waiting nearby.
🧬 Diet
Diet is an important part of growing your dinosaur.
Your dinosaur has specific diet requirements. Eating the correct foods helps you obtain the nutrients needed for your diet. If you keep your diets high your dinosaur will have more growth %, in other words it will grow faster.
Reading Your Diet UI

A-Carbohydrates B-Proteins Y-Fats
Finding Diet for Carnivores
Using Scent:

Heart: Gives you B
Lungs: Gives you A
Intestines: Gives you Y
Stomach: Gives you A
Finding Diet for Herbivores
Zones:
Your required plants change depending on your designated Migration Zone or Patrol Zone.
Sanctuaries:
Young herbivores can eat the red mushrooms found inside Sanctuary zones to safely fill all three diet slots.
Scent:
Hold Q while standing still to highlight correct diet plants for the Dino your playing.
🦴 Bleeding

Bleeding can come from:
- Attacks
