Synthesizing Dinosaur Eggs in the Cultivator in Unusual Prehistory

guide

The Cultivator synthesizes viable dinosaur eggs, prehistoric flora saplings, and embryonic tissues from isolated genetic flasks in Unusual Prehistory. Acting as an artificial bio-chamber, this machine incubates liquid DNA samples within a nutrient bath to revive long-extinct species back into physical reality.

Crafting the Cultivator and Organic Ooze

Building the Cultivator requires heavy structural casing and a living biological medium. In a crafting table, arrange three Iron Ingot items across the top row, two Glass blocks flanking one Organic Ooze in the middle row, and two Copper Ingot pieces flanking a Block of Redstone along the bottom row.

Maintaining the bio-chamber requires a continuous supply of nutrient fuel. Fabricating Organic Ooze uses basic agricultural and foraging materials. Combining one Bone, one Slimeball, and one Wheat in any shapeless crafting grid yields three containers of Organic Ooze.

Operating the Cultivator Chamber

The Cultivator interface divides into four functional sections engineered for continuous bio-synthesis.

The primary intake slot (slot 0) holds the target specimen flask, such as a Triceratops DNA Flask or Tyrannosaurus Rex DNA Flask.
The biological fuel compartment (slot 1) accepts Organic Ooze, supplying biochemical sustenance throughout the incubation process.
The synthesis output bay (slot 2) holds the finalized biological product once the cycle completes.
The flask reclamation slot (slot 3) safely catches the empty Flask, allowing players to reuse their glassware in the analyzer.

A full cultivation cycle requires dedicated time and continuous processing. The chamber consumes organic nutrient fluid steadily throughout the incubation period. If the ooze supply runs out before the cycle concludes, progress pauses immediately until refueled.

Cultivated Organism Categories

The biochemical processes inside the cultivator generate three major classes of ancient life:

Reptilian and avian dinosaur eggs: DNA flasks from species such as Triceratops DNA Flask, Brachiosaurus DNA Flask, Velociraptor DNA Flask, Anurognathus DNA Flask, and Majungasaurus DNA Flask synthesize into tangible egg blocks including the Triceratops Egg and Brachiosaurus Egg. These eggs can be placed on terrestrial blocks or warm substrates to hatch naturally.
Aquatic fauna and corals: Marine specimens including the Ammonite DNA Flask, Dunkleosteus DNA Flask, and coral strains produce water-viable eggs like the Ammonite Egg and living Anostylostroma Coral Block colonies.
Ancient botanical specimens: Plant flasks convert into plantable saplings and seeds, including the Prehistoric Ginkgo Sapling, Foxii Sapling, Dryophyllum Sapling, and Archaefructus.
Mammalian and serpentine embryos: Giant terrestrial mammals do not lay eggs. Synthesizing flasks such as the Mammoth DNA Flask, Smilodon DNA Flask, and Megatherium DNA Flask yields sealed embryonic containers requiring specialized post-cultivation birthing pods.
