Evaluation Fields
Judge each dinosaur by five fields. Income impact tells you whether visitors pay more or recovery speeds up. Cost covers the egg or route needed to get the dinosaur. Space need decides whether the park can use it immediately. Rarity controls how repeatable the route is. Replacement timing shows when a better dinosaur makes it obsolete.
A dinosaur that wins only one field may still be a weak early purchase. For example, a rare dinosaur that blocks space and does not improve recovery quickly can be worse for a new player than a common dinosaur that supports steady Cash.
| Field | Question | High-value signal |
|---|---|---|
| Income impact | Does visitor Cash recover faster? | The next planned purchase arrives sooner. |
| Cost | How expensive is the egg or route? | The park can repeat the purchase cycle. |
| Space need | Can it be placed and used now? | No capacity upgrade is required first. |
| Rarity | Can players realistically get it? | The route does not rely only on luck. |
| Replacement timing | How soon does it get outclassed? | It stays useful across multiple purchases. |
Safe Tier Labels
Until verified dinosaur tables exist, use tiers for decisions rather than species names. S-tier decisions are redeeming active codes and hatching reward eggs because they change the park immediately. A-tier decisions are repeatable eggs and capacity upgrades that improve recovery. Watch-tier items are Teeth and new Update 2 claims that need more in-game context.
This keeps the tier list useful without inventing dinosaur stats. When income values are verified, the same structure can absorb real dinosaur rows and replace decision tiers with species tiers.
| Tier | Decision | Why it ranks here |
|---|---|---|
| S | Redeem active codes before spending | Rewards change the first purchase window. |
| S | Hatch Frozen Egg before attached Cash spend | The result determines the next bottleneck. |
| A | Buy affordable repeatable eggs | Repeatability beats a one-time lucky jump. |
| A | Upgrade space when placement blocks progress | Capacity turns dinosaurs into value. |
| Watch | Spend Teeth only after Store target review | Update 2 economy needs account-specific context. |
When a Real Dinosaur Tier List Is Ready
A real dinosaur tier list is ready when each row has a dinosaur name, egg source, cost or rarity, income effect, placement requirement, and update date. Screenshots alone are not enough because a good-looking dinosaur can still be a poor early route if it is expensive, space-heavy, or hard to replace.
When you collect in-game data, write the value next to the version or update state. My Dino Park is an active Roblox game, so a list without a date becomes weaker every update. The table should be refreshed after Update 2 changes, not treated as permanent.
