In our previous post on Spawn Behaviour, we discussed and speculated over where and when we observe Dinosaurs. Thanks to information from JWS51203, we need speculate no more! Here we detail how spawns are localized in the game and explain why you should start hanging out at fire stations and pet stores!

Editor’s note: Huge thank you to our new Artist for these incredibly amazing info-graphics! Thanks HattPumpkins!

Update: July, 16, 2018. What is new? A Migration took place and affected spawns behaviours. This happens from time to time. The most recent migration had some new Dinos added and some minor changes to already existent Dinos. Let’s start with the old Dinos. One major change is they rotated off Edmontosaurus from the global rare rotation slot and rotated in Amargasaurus. For those of you who don’t know, the global rare seems to have a rotation slot, it has rotated Wuerhosaurus, Proceratosaurus, Edmontosaurus, and now Amargasaurus. Another quality of life change is that Ludia seems to have switched some of the night park spawns such as Postosuchus, Tyrannosaurus Gen 2 and Dimetrodon Gen 2 to all day park spawns. This is quite convenient since going to parks at night isn’t the easiest thing to do. The new Dinos added to global are Concavenator and Dracorex. Local One has Carnotaurus, Local 2 has Echo, Local 3 has Delta and Local 4 has Charlie. Parks now spawn Baryonyx and Dracorex Gen 2. For a complete list of Dinosaurs, you can consult our Dinodex!

What Influences Spawns in Jurassic World Alive?

Though we don’t know exactly how it plays out, spawn points are clearly associated with location tags that influence which dinosaurs are found there. The broadest of these tags encompass all dinosaurs currently spawning in the game and are listed below:

Global

Parks

Local (4 different types)

Global spawns can spawn at any point while park spawns spawn at parks, preserves, and other naturalesque public locations. the four localized categories are more vague. These appear to be what we referred to as “local spawns” in our previous spawn article.

These may be the areas that we are most likely to see dinosaur “migrations” to and from. These four local categories may be variable in size, but all appear to cover broad areas. We don’t know what these local areas are tied to, but we can tell you what appears in each one!

To complicate matters, we do see dinosaurs pop up in unexpected places. However, most spawns operate as expected, given the categories below. Check out the dinosaurs in each category, below.

Global Spawns

Parks / Green Space spawns

Local Spawns

These four categories may correlate with our speculation regarding local spawning. Here are the dinosaurs that you can find in each local area. We’ve put each of the four local spawn categories on a separate line for ease of interpretation.

Nests in Jurassic World Alive

Jurassic World Alive does not currently have “nests” in the sense that Pokemon Go did, but there is something we will call nests that we think is even cooler! You may have noticed that some dinosaurs only spawn at certain times (day or night), but you occasionally see these dinosaurs at other times (e.g. running into a Velociraptor mid-day). If this happens to you, you’ve just run across a nest!

We’ve linked certain spawn points to business/building types and, at these points, a group of dinosaurs can spawn at anytime. Below is a list of these nest locations and their associated dinosaurs.

Parting Words

Let this be your guide to dinosaur habitats and habits and go explore! There is still much to learn about just how rare dinosaurs are at these locations and exactly how much variability there is with each spawn point. If you want to join in the hunt and conversation, check out our Discord!
