The Genetic Analyzer is an early-stage machine used to extract DNA from biological samples.
It is the first step in the genetic engineering process and is required before synthesizing embryos or applying genetic modifications.
Functionality
- Type: DNA extraction machine
- Processes: Biological samples into Species DNA, Plant DNA, or random drops
- Accepts: Fossils, remains, ambers, and deposits
- Processing Time: Varies based on sample quality
- Success Rate: Some samples may fail and produce degraded material instead of DNA
Usage
- Insert a biological sample (fossil, amber, remains, or deposit) into the input slot
- The analyzer begins processing automatically
- Once complete, collect the output from the output slot
- Species DNA or Plant DNA can then be used in the DNA Modifier or other machines
Accepted Inputs
The Genetic Analyzer accepts the following biological samples:
- Fossils (any species)
- Remains (any species)
- Ambers
- Deposits
Possible Outputs
Successful Extraction
- Species DNA (various dinosaur and creature species)
- Plant DNA
Failed Extraction (Random Drops)
- Gravel
- Dirt
- Coal
- Sand
When extraction fails, the analyzer produces common materials instead of usable genetic material, representing the degradation of ancient samples.

Trivia
- The Genetic Analyzer is inspired by the DNA extraction labs seen in Jurassic Park (1993), where scientists extracted dinosaur DNA from mosquitoes preserved in amber
- Not all samples produce usable DNA - failed extractions result in common materials like gravel, dirt, coal, or sand, reflecting the difficulty and uncertainty of extracting genetic material from ancient samples
- The Genetic Analyzer operates without requiring any fuel or power source, making it accessible for early-game genetic engineering
