# Mesozoic v0.0.1-pre-alpha.2 — The Genesis Protocol

Welcome to Mesozoic Pre-Alpha 2! This milestone delivers our first complete, stable survival loop: from fossil excavation to cloning and imprinting on living dinosaurs.

### 🦖 What's New & Highlights

#### 🔬 The "Genesis Protocol" (Complete Paleogenetics Loop)
Experience the full scientific workflow in Survival mode:
1. Fossil Excavation: Unearth fossil ore strata across the Overworld.
2. Cleaning & Prep: Remove matrix rock from dirty fossils in the Cleaning Station.
3. DNA Extraction: Extract biological tissue into DNA vials with variable purity.
4. Genome Sequencing: Fill genetic sequence gaps in the DNA Sequencer up to 100%.
5. Paleogenesis Chamber: Synthesize viable prehistoric dinosaur eggs using amniotic nutrients.
6. Incubation & Care: Regulate environmental temperature and monitor live hatching.
7. Birth & Imprinting: Feed and bond with newly hatched dinos (such as the Tyrannosaurus Rex) to imprint them!

#### ⏳ 7 Prehistoric Era Dimensions
Travel across deep time with calibrated temporal portals:
- Devonian, Carboniferous, Permian, Triassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous, and Pleistocene dimensions with era-specific flora, fauna, and biome generation.

#### ⚙️ Industrial Machinery & Tech Networks
- Digital Miner: Automated subterranean ore extraction.
- Electrolysis Separator: Splits water into hydrogen fuel and oxygen.
- Alloy Infusion Chamber & Precision Sawmill: High-tier metallurgy and efficient material processing.
- Fixed Energy Synchronization: Real-time 16-bit energy and fluid gauges now synchronize accurately with client GUIs.

#### 🚙 Vehicles & Exploration Gear
- Field UTV: Calibrated physical suspension and realistic collision hitbox (3.20m x 1.85m x 2.20m) matching the 3D model.
- Hydrogen Jetpack: Directional thrust and hover stabilization with genuine fuel consumption.
- Chrono Disassembler: Mining beam orientation and scale aligned.
- Adrian Vale Sentinel: Dedicated spawn egg, dialogue hooks, and tab registration.

### 📋 Requirements & Recommendations
- Minecraft: 1.20.1 | Forge: 47.3.0+ | Java 17
- Recommended RAM: 4 GB - 6 GB (for high-detail GLTF 3D models)

⚠️ Pre-Alpha Advisory: This is an experimental build for community testing. Stages 2–18 of the campaign and select aquatic/aerial apex fauna are currently limited to encounters and spawn eggs while biome balancing completes.
