Getting Started in Dig All Dinos
Master the dig-clean-combine loop and build a museum that earns Ambers while you play.
Dig All Dinos on Roblox, developed by Wrekt Studios, is a progression game built around one satisfying loop: dig up fossils, clean them from rock, combine matching pieces into complete dinosaurs, and display those dinosaurs in your museum to earn Ambers. This getting started guide on Dig for Dinos Wiki explains that loop from your first spawn to your first meaningful upgrades, with links to deeper guides for each stage.
Whether you arrived here after redeeming a code from our Working Codes page or you are brand new to Roblox digging games, the priorities are the same: learn the core tools, avoid inventory bottlenecks, and start passive Amber income early.
What is Dig All Dinos?
Dig All Dinos places you on a personal dig site adjacent to a museum you expand over time. You excavate buried fossils using digging tools, process raw finds through cleaning stations, and assemble dinosaur skeletons when you collect matching fossil parts. Completed dinosaurs generate Ambers when displayed, creating passive income that funds better tools and faster progression.
The game rewards consistent play sessions and smart upgrade choices more than random luck. Understanding the loop beats grinding blindly.
The core gameplay loop
Every session in Dig All Dinos follows the same rhythm:
- Dig — break ground tiles and uncover fossil nodes hidden in the terrain.
- Collect — pick up fossil pieces and raw rock into your inventory.
- Clean — process encrusted fossils at cleaning stations to reveal usable parts.
- Combine — match compatible fossil pieces into complete dinosaur specimens.
- Display — place finished dinosaurs in museum slots to earn Ambers over time.
- Upgrade — spend Ambers on faster digging, better cleaning, and more storage.
- Expand — unlock new dig areas and museum space as Wrekt Studios adds content.
Each step feeds the next. Skipping cleaning to dig more often feels productive but slows combination progress. Skipping museum displays saves slot management time but removes your main passive Amber source.
Your first five minutes
When you spawn into Dig All Dinos on Roblox, orient yourself with the HUD. You should see indicators for inventory, currency (Ambers), shop access, and navigation to your museum or dig plot.
Start digging immediately on nearby tiles. Early fossils appear close to spawn so new players feel progress within seconds. Pick up everything your inventory allows and note when the bag fills — that signal means it is time to return to base for cleaning rather than continuing to dig.
Open the Shop once to locate the layout even if you cannot afford upgrades yet. If you have not redeemed codes, visit How to Redeem Codes and claim !UPDATE2 for 10 Ambers after joining the Wrekt Studios group.
Digging basics
Digging is your primary activity. Aim your tool at diggable ground and break tiles until fossils surface. Different areas may hide different rarities as you unlock expansion zones later.
Speed matters because inventory trips interrupt momentum. Read How to Dig and Clean for tile targeting, movement efficiency, and cleaning station throughput. That guide covers the two actions you repeat most often.
Cleaning and why it matters
Raw digs include rock-encrusted fossils that cannot combine until cleaned. Cleaning stations convert messy drops into named fossil parts you can match in the combination UI.
New players sometimes ignore cleaning and wonder why combination screens stay empty. Treat cleaning as equal priority to digging. Batch clean when you return from a dig run so your inventory always carries usable parts back to the field.
Combining dinosaurs
Combination is where individual fossils become museum-ready dinosaurs. The game expects you to collect sets of related parts — skull segments, limbs, vertebrae, and similar pieces — that belong to the same species tier.
Ultimate or rare dinosaurs require fuller sets and more time investment. Our How to Combine Dinosaurs guide explains fossil matching rules, duplicate handling, and long-term collection strategy.
Ambers: your progression currency
Ambers pay for tools, inventory, cleaning upgrades, and quality-of-life boosts. You earn them passively from museum displays and actively from promo codes like !UPDATE2 on the Working Codes hub.
Early Ambers should go toward upgrades that shorten the dig-clean cycle. See How to Get Ambers for income optimization and Early Game Progression for a prioritized first-hour checklist.
Museum and passive income
Your museum is not decorative — it is an Amber engine. Each displayed dinosaur generates income over time based on specimen quality and available display slots. Expanding museum capacity and filling slots consistently beats hoarding fossils in storage indefinitely.
Museum and Income covers slot planning, display priorities, and how to balance expansion costs against dig tool investments.
Expansion and long-term goals
As you earn Ambers and complete dinosaurs, Wrekt Studios content pushes you toward larger dig zones and museum wings. Expansion gates may require currency, completed collections, or update-specific milestones depending on the current build.
Long-term goals typically include:
- Completing ultimate-tier dinosaur sets
- Maximizing museum Amber per hour
- Clearing higher-yield dig biomes
- Staying current with update codes and new fossils

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions.
What is the main goal in Dig All Dinos?
Dig fossils, clean and combine them into complete dinosaurs, display them in your museum, and earn Ambers to upgrade tools and expand your site.
What are Ambers used for?
Ambers are the premium currency for digging tools, cleaning upgrades, inventory space, and other progression boosts in Dig All Dinos on Roblox.
Should I dig or clean first as a beginner?
Alternate both. Dig until your inventory fills, then clean at base so you always have combinable fossil parts ready for the next run.
How do I get free Ambers early?
Redeem active promo codes like !UPDATE2 after joining the Wrekt Studios group. See our Working Codes page and How to Redeem Codes guide.
Why is my museum important?
Displayed dinosaurs generate passive Amber income over time. A filled museum is your steadiest currency source besides codes.
