DNA samples become living species through a habitat process the official page describes in broad terms.
From DNA to habitat
The official Steam description gives a clear sequence: gather DNA samples, place cocoons, and tend the environmental conditions required by the creature. A successful habitat joins resource planning with species care.
Use the live creature requirement panel
The publisher confirms that animals have individual needs but does not publish a full public roster with exact ranges. Capture the in-game label before recommending a temperature, humidity, or vegetation setup.
Build for one verified species
Do not create a broad animal guide that assumes requirements overlap. Start with one species, prepare the required conditions, observe the result, and only then test whether another species can share the dome.
How to build a trustworthy database
For each entry, record the species name, DNA source, cocoon step, temperature, humidity, vegetation, platform, build number, screenshot, and a repeatable result. Mark untested entries as pending rather than filling a table from inference.
Frequently asked questions
What are DNA samples for?
Steam says they are used with cocoons to bring extinct species back into suitable habitats.
Are exact animal requirements published officially?
Official pages confirm the categories, but do not provide a complete public table of values and species.
Source standard
This field guide cross-checks the official Focus Entertainment page and the BioEden Steam listing. Mutable details stay linked to those sources.
