My Dino Empire Beginner Guide: Your First Base

Last updated 2026-10-23Unofficial player article

Quick answer

  • Roll for your dinosaur crew, then put a dinosaur to work at your base.
  • Sell ancient bones for money and use a clear base goal to guide spending.
  • Digging Speed makes dinosaurs dig up bones faster on the current floor.

Start with a dinosaur at the base

Begin My Dino Empire by connecting a dinosaur roll to your base. Rolling builds your crew, while the base gives that collection a practical purpose. A dinosaur sitting in your collection and one you have placed are different stages of the first visit. The demonstrated placement prompt is E PLACE while holding Gallimimus beside a base pad. Follow the interaction shown by your own device rather than treating a keyboard key as a mobile button.

Stay with that first placement long enough to understand where the dinosaurs work. You do not need a rare collection or an optional pass before learning the ordinary loop.

Turn ancient bones into your next goal

Dinosaurs dig up bones, and selling ancient bones provides money. Think of the first sale as the point where collecting and base development begin to connect. Give that money a job before spending it: improving the floor you use or saving toward more base space are clearer goals than buying whatever catches your eye.

The My Dino Empire bone-selling guide keeps the sale itself separate from collecting and rolling. Use it when you have bones and want to understand what the money is for.

Choose one useful improvement

The floor panel shows Fossil Respawn, Digging Speed and Sell Multiplier. Digging Speed has a specific tooltip: it makes dinosaurs dig up bones faster on that floor. That makes it a sensible option to consider when your next goal is improving the digging side of your existing floor.

Before leaving, check the Playtime window for any reward you can claim. Its warning about leaving concerns Playtime progress; the base separately earns while you are offline. Finish the small task you started, then return with a clear reason to roll, improve the floor or expand.
