Dino Den

Dino Den
Find and hatch baby dinosaur!

This Building is special because


 * Each Village can only have one.
 * If not needed, can be saved in the Inventory
 * By having the building in the Village, There will be a Dinos button inside the main Dinos button

The Dino Den is the only method of obtaining brand new Dinos. Although it is unknown exactly how a Dino is obtained through the Dino Den, One Random Dinos will be incubated and hatched exactly 22 hours later if using Random Dino hatch method.

The common Dinos that are hatched most of the time are: Mammoth, Stegosaurus, Ankylosaurus, and Parasaurolophus. These common dinos have the lowest earning rate, the greatest amount of feeding times, and the longest feeding times. The other Dinos are rare and have higher earning rates, fewer feeding times, and shorter feeding times. Understandably, they can only be bought with or obtained randomly very rarely.

Hatching Dinos
There are several ways to hatch a dino: When hatching a Common Dino or Random Dino, the dino den will have a common egg in front of the building and 22 hours hatching time and a specific hurry hatching cost based on the Rare Dino (common dino will have 48 Hurry Hatch Cost).
 * 1) Select the Dino Den and choose a series of dino or Random Dino to start hatching
 * 2) Press Mallet icon and then button Dinos to select the dino or Random Dino to start hatching
 * 3) Get a dino from Bingo will also automatically hatch if the Dino Den is empty, otherwise the Dino will be inside the Inventory (All Sub Section).

When buying and hatching a Rare Dino, it will have a specific egg based on the Dino being hatched.

Getting a successful Fusion also gives you the specific egg with specific Hatch Time base on the result

The cost of Random Dino is varied by the amount of dinos collection that you have.
 * 0 = [[File:Buildings_icon_coins.png]] 100
 * 1 = [[File:Buildings_icon_coins.png]] 150
 * 2 = [[File:Buildings_icon_coins.png]] 200
 * 3 up to 10 = [[File:Buildings_icon_coins.png]] 250

Summary of Probabilities
Formula for calculating Probability of Dino that you will get after the Hurry Hatch Cost is known for each group of Hurry Hatch Cost.

% Probability = ( Probability Value / (Total of Probability Value in a Group of Hurry Hatch) ) x 100%

for example :

Brontornis is in 52 Hurry Hatch and Probability Value of 1. It's the same with Lucky Mammoth with Probability Value of 1. So the Total of Probability Value is 2. Meaning if You get 52 Hurry Hatch you will have 50% ( (1/2) x 100% ) chance of getting a Brontornis.

Below is the list that summarize the Possibility, thanks to DinoBreath for the calculation and summary

NOTE : This is only an educated logic assumption to guess the outcome of Dino from Random Dino using Probability value, you still get Rare Dino randomly and cannot predict if you can get 32 0r 40 or 48 0r 51 Crystal Hurry Hatch

Allocate New Dino
When Dino Den finish hatching a Dino, there will be a Dino Egg Hatch Icon above the Dino Den.

Steps to allocate Dino
 * 1) Select the Dino Den
 * 2) Press Place button in the right area
 * 3) Choose a Habitat. All available Habitat that have empty Dino Slot will be highlighted and you can select it.

Trivia

 * Although it does happen very rarely, it has been proven and shown that rare Dinos ARE obtainable through a random egg hatch.
 * Despite the fact that Mammoth, Sabretooth Tiger, and Andrewsarchus are all mammals, they are hatched from eggs in the Dino Den.
 * At 24 April 2012, there is a Promotions Dino Love!, that change the Cost of Rare Dinos and also change the probability of Random Dino method hatch (To view previous value, see the Promotions Dino Love!).
 * It seems some player reported a different set of hurry hatch cost. Please check with Unconfirmed Statement.
 * It is possible to buy a specific Common Dino through the Dino Album if you don't have one already: Go to the Dino Album page 7 (or any page with the Common Dino you want on it), and click BUY. The cost is [[File:Buildings icon coins.png]] 150000, considerably higher than the random egg hatch method. Guessing that's Ozzie's consulting fee to determine exactly what the egg type is. If you want to try out a specific fusion formula RIGHT NOW it might be worth it. The Dino you wanted shows up in the Dino Den, with a picture of the specific baby dino, a hatch time of 12 hours (vs. 22 for a random hatch), and an egg that looks like a Brontosaurus egg. Building dinoden brontosaurus egg@2x.png The Brontosaurus egg is used for common Dinos in other situations where you know ahead of time what the dino is (e.g. Bingo gave away a Stegosaurus) rather than the bland common egg.

Tips and Tricks

 * When you hatch using Random Dino method, check the Hurry Cost to hatch the dino instantly. By looking at the cost, you can GUESS that the random dino will give you a rare dino or not. All Common Dino have [[File:Buildings_icon_premium.png]] 12hurry cost, but remember that some Rare Dinos also have [[File:Buildings_icon_premium.png]] 12 hurry cost. (thanks to Vincijuggers in comment). See Dino Den to view all Hurry Cost to Hatch. NOTE : This is only for guessing the outcome of Rare Dino from Random Dino, you still get Rare Dino randomly.
 * The Dino Den will allow you to hatch a little bit early. When the hatch is almost finished, it will say "FINISH FOR 0 crystals". Go ahead and use it; it doesn't cost crystals. When the remaining time is less than (Full hatch time) / (full hurry-up crystals), it shows as 0 (That is, when the pro-rated cost switches from 1.0000 to 0.9999 crystals). For a common dino hatch, that's 22 hours / 12 [[File:Buildings_icon_premium.png]] = ? minutes.
 * With the new set of Hurry Cost, it seems that around 1 Hour 10 Minutes before finish hatching, the hurry Finish will be 0 Crystal (need confirmation)
