    Did the 1.4 update change things significantly? In the past I've always found a dinosaur egg either at the traveling cart, fishing treasure or worm spot within the first year. I'm now into year three and haven't found one.

    Is it just random luck, or has something changed? I even got deep enough in the caves to kill a a few dinosaur/dragon things and they didn't drop any eggs either

      It's just random and you've been unlucky

      You need a dino egg to make dino mayo for the new Missing Bundle, which was only introduced in 1.4

        Old ways still works but it's all about luck.
        Now at 1.4 you have other way - go to Skull Cave and kill couple Pepper Rex - it give you dino egg (10% chance).
        You should find there Prehistoric levels with this enemies.

          I've never gotten a dino egg in my first year, so you probably got insanely lucky before.

          The Pepper Rex has a 10% chance of dropping a dino egg. You can mostly find them in the Skull Cave on levels that happen to spawn with the new Prehistoric tileset. It can also be randomly found on the ground on Prehistoric levels in the Skull Cave as well. This, in my mind, is a much better chance of finding one than before, as you now have an actually semi-reliable means of getting one.

            Agreed. Whilst farming omni geodes in Skull Cavern I've found 8 dino eggs.

              If anything it's a whole lot easier to find now, I suppose you've just been unlucky.

                  you're not alone mate, i haven't caught ANY. SINGLE. MIDNIGHT CARP in the entire Fall and probably the whole Winter too (mid-winter now) although i never forget to fish EVERY. SINGLE. NIGHT. although i got the UFO on shipping screen twice in a week this month.
                  i think it's all about "our" mixed luck in real life after all *sigh* :zzz:'

                    I'm so upset at myself.
                    I forgot to throw the dino egg in a bin to be placed in the incubator before donating to the museum.

                    That is such a rookie mistake. lol

                        It took a few weeks of game time, but got a dinosaur egg at the ocean rock, spirits very pleased, lucky lunch, rabbit foot in wallet, treasure tackle, standard bait

                          I did this. I didn't realise it could go in the incubator. After finding another one thanks to Pepper Rex I immediately put it in.
