Description

Just a pack I've put together to play with friends, made public for anyone else who's interested. The pack focuses largely on Prehistoric Nature and Fossils & Archaeology, with other mods to make aspects of survival and decoration/building more involved and interesting.

 

Simply Dinosaurs revolves around exploration of the past. Unearth fossils to revive ancient creatures, bringing back animals such as dinosaurs into your world. Build a zoo, a wildlife reserve, or simply let them run rampant. You can go back in time to the various ages to explore a glimpse of what the world was like back when these animals roamed, from the hostile lands of the Ediacaran to the flourishing forests of the Triassic. Numerous mods are included to enhance the building aspect of the game, to support creating beautiful and interesting structures for your new animals to live in.
