Genetics Materials Guide for Jurassic Reborn: Nucleotides, Storage, Processors, Enzymes, Agar and Petri Dishes

guide

Genetics materials in Jurassic Reborn cover the supporting ingredients and machines you need before dinosaur DNA work can move forward. This guide covers DNA Nucleotides, DNA Storage, the DNA Processor, Advanced Enzyme, Liquid Agar, and Plant Cells in Petri Dish, using only their known recipes and processing methods.

DNA Nucleotides

DNA Nucleotides are produced by heating a Potion. Three different heat sources work for this conversion:

Smelting a Potion in a furnace yields DNA Nucleotides.
Blasting a Potion in a blast furnace yields DNA Nucleotides.
Cooking a Potion on a campfire yields DNA Nucleotides.

Because all three methods produce the same result, you can pick whichever heat source fits your setup. A campfire is the simplest option if you have not built furnaces yet, while a blast furnace processes the Potion faster than a regular furnace if speed matters to you.

DNA Storage

DNA Storage is a crafted block. Its recipe is shaped and combines several components:

4 Copper Ingot
3 Packed Ice
1 Advanced Circuit
1 Computer Screen

Gather the Copper Ingot and Packed Ice in the quantities shown, then add the Advanced Circuit and Computer Screen to complete the shaped recipe. Packed Ice does not melt under normal conditions, so the storage block can sit in your base without special cooling arrangements.

DNA Processor

The DNA Processor is another crafted block, and its recipe is also shaped. It requires:

4 Iron Ingot
1 Computer Screen
2 DNA Analyzer
1 Disc Drive
1 Keyboard

Note that the DNA Processor calls for two DNA Analyzer units, so plan on crafting or collecting a pair before you start. The Disc Drive and Keyboard round out the machine components, with Iron Ingot supplying the structural frame.

Advanced Enzyme

Advanced Enzyme is made with a shapeless recipe, meaning the ingredients can sit anywhere in the crafting grid. The recipe combines:

1 Enzyme
1 Blaze Powder
1 Glowstone Dust

Start from a base Enzyme, then add Blaze Powder and Glowstone Dust to upgrade it. Since the recipe is shapeless, you do not need to arrange the three ingredients in any particular pattern.

Liquid Agar

Liquid Agar comes from processing Gracilaria. Four heat methods are available:

Smelting Gracilaria produces Liquid Agar.
Blasting Gracilaria produces Liquid Agar.
Campfire cooking Gracilaria produces Liquid Agar.
Smoking Gracilaria produces Liquid Agar.

This gives you flexibility: a smoker or campfire works just as well as a furnace or blast furnace for turning Gracilaria into Liquid Agar. Choose the device you already have running.

Plant Cells in Petri Dish

Plant Cells in Petri Dish is assembled with a shapeless recipe. It combines:

Plant Cells
Petri Dish With Agar

Place both ingredients together in any arrangement in the crafting grid to get Plant Cells in Petri Dish. This is the point where the agar and petri dish materials you prepared earlier feed into plant cell culture.

Putting the Materials Together

The genetics chain in Jurassic Reborn relies on several parallel preparation steps. Heat a Potion into DNA Nucleotides, process Gracilaria into Liquid Agar, and upgrade an Enzyme into Advanced Enzyme. In parallel, craft DNA Storage from copper, packed ice, an advanced circuit, and a computer screen, and build the DNA Processor from iron, a computer screen, two DNA Analyzers, a disc drive, and a keyboard. Once your Petri Dish With Agar is ready, combine it with Plant Cells to create Plant Cells in Petri Dish. Keeping a stock of each intermediate item on hand will make later genetics work much smoother.
