Featuring dinosaur eggs, ancient crops, and the rare Burning Bud seed, this expansion goes beyond aesthetics, introducing complex strategy layers that challenge players to rethink their gardening approach. From pet mutations to high-stakes seed economics, the update, officially titled "Dinosaur Egg Grow a Garden", offers exciting possibilities for both newcomers and seasoned players. Dinosaur Grow a Garden update: How to get and hatch prehistoric eggs Grow a Garden game adds prehistoric-themed features like dinosaur eggs, ancient crops, new pets, and the rare Burning Bud seed.

Once acquired, the dinosaur egg takes four hours to hatch, adding an element of anticipation and patience to the game.

Players focused on maximizing returns are especially advised to seek out the Stegosaurus and T-Rex due to their exceptional farming utility. How to get the Burning Bud in Dinosaur Grow a Garden The Burning Bud seed is the update's most coveted item. Dubbed a prismatic-rarity seed, it now sits atop the Seed Shop catalogue as the most valuable crop, surpassing the former leader, the Sugar Apple. Steps to get the Burning Bud Purchase price: 50,000,000 Sheckles or 915 Robux Availability: Listed at the bottom of the Seed Shop, which refreshes every five minutes Drop rate: Extremely low, requiring players to remain active in-game or track updates via the official Grow a Garden stock Discord channel Some players exploit in-game pet abilities for a shortcut. For example, the Raccoon pet has a chance to steal plants from others' gardens, and on rare occasions, it can snatch a Burning Bud—making it both mischievous and potentially profitable. How to earn big from a single Burning Bud fruit Despite yielding only one fruit per growth cycle, the Burning Bud commands a sell price of approximately 135,000 Sheckles, making it one of the most lucrative plants in the game. By equipping advanced garden gears, players can: Accelerate crop growth rates Increase fruit size Trigger beneficial mutations To fund the initial Burning Bud investment, experts recommend mutating multiple fruits and selling them in bulk. This high-return strategy helps players amass wealth faster and reinvest in premium seeds.

Jurassic Park Rebirth is the dumbest yet
Midway through Jurassic World Rebirth the scientist character played by Jonathan Bailey, whom we can all immediately spot as a scientist (he wears glasses), tells us that intelligence is not especially useful for a species. Look at dinosaurs, he continues, 'who are dumb but survived for 165 million years'. These Jurassic films have been going for 32 years so intelligence may not be necessary for the long-term survival of a movie franchise either. More worryingly, as each of these films is dumber than the last it could go on for ever. I say all this as a fan of the first film who has been perpetually disappointed ever since. This is the seventh film and after the especially pitiful fifth and sixth ones we were promised a rebirth. It's in the title. Written by David Koep and directed by Gareth Edwards, this film, we were told, would be a new start with a new cast and new characters with some 'call backs' to the 1993 original. That was directed by Steven Spielberg who had, you could say, already made his definitive dinosaur movie, at least in spirit. (Jaws.) I was hopeful of a return to form right up until the moment the film opened. Where are we? A secret research laboratory. What are they up to? Creating mutant dinosaurs. Might one escape? New cast, new characters, same old story. We spool forward 17 years to meet a smarmy fella (Rupert Friend) whose business is big pharma. He hires Scarlett Johansson, who is a 'situational security expert' (nope, not a clue), to take him to the island where dinosaurs have been contained. As some can fly and others are aquatic, can this count as containment? Somehow he has discovered that the cure for human heart disease lies in extracting the DNA of living dinosaurs and if he can effect a cure he'll make trillions. It is illegal for any human to travel to the island but needs must. They talk Dr Henry Loomis (Bailey) into accompanying them. They hire a boat and a mercenary (Mahershala Ali) and there are other crew who are not named and thus have 'lunch' written all over them. Their first encounter is with a colossal Mosasaurus. It proceeds to terrorise the boat in scenes that are so derivative of Jaws we'll save any embarrassment by calling it an homage. The Mosasaurus also terrorises another boat at sea. This belongs to a father and his family. There's a little girl on board whose name I can't remember but she might as well be called: 'Child in Danger'. Their boat is capsized and how they managed to radio a 'mayday' alert while straddled on an upturned hull without any equipment is anyone's guess, They're rescued by the bigger boat and make it to the lush tropical island where various dinosaurs try to pick them off. A Spinosaurus, a Pterodactyl, a Tyrannosaurus rex with its silly little arms. As there is no suspense it's the sort of jeopardy that becomes tiringly repetitive while you'll have to suspend your disbelief quite significantly. The Bailey character falls 300ft into a 2ft deep creek and not only emerges unscathed but with glasses on? I guess that without glasses we wouldn't know he was a scientist: he could be a chicken farmer or cheesemonger or anything. Finally, the 'mutant' dinosaur arrives. Given how bland and generic the characters are I was praying it would triumph. However, on the plus side there's the John Williams score (reworked) and the CGI is spectacular. It's always astonishing to think that these beasts did once roam the Earth and it was this thought that stopped me slipping into sleep. Meanwhile, I forgot to say why the lab was creating mutant dinosaurs. It was because the general public had become bored of what they had and wanted to see something more exciting. I know exactly how they felt.
