How to Burrow[]
WARNING: Do not safelog inside a burrow. Currently, you will die if you do this.
Currently, the only creatures that can burrow are the Psittacosaurus and the Dryosaurus. In order to build a burrow, hold right-click then a burrow slowly forms. When it is complete, walk into the burrow and then hold right click and you will slide inside. The player will then be in burrow devoid of physical contact to the outside of the burrow. To exit, walk through the opening or hold right-click while standing close to the door.
Remember that inside a burrow you are unable to grow, but still able to heal from damage inside. This was changed when the Dryosaurus was removed from the game to adjust and balance the dinosaur.
Hatchlings can also enter burrows.
A Juvenile Utahraptor can enter a burrow and attack an unsuspecting dinosaur once inside.
Destroying a burrow[]
To destroy a burrow, aim the camera at it and click E to destroy. Players cannot have 2 burrows at a time and are to destroy burrows before leaving to be able to build another burrow when need be. Logging out will also destroy your burrow.
Only the owner of a burrow can destroy their burrow.
Burrows can also be destroyed by predators, since it contains health just like the nest does. If the burrow is destroyed by others, you will be kicked out of it and others will be able to bite you.
