The ranch loop

Digging supplies fossils. A complete fossil set goes to Dr. Ivy’s DNA Lab for an egg; the incubator hatches it. Feeding above the half-full belly threshold keeps the resulting dinosaur growing.

The input you need for digging

Hold on a dig site with your shovel and release when the meter is green. The developer describes this timing as producing a better find; no guaranteed rarity or multiplier is specified.
