you may increase the production rate of these facilities byincreasing your Wilderness’s Vigor. This is done by selecting the Edit Wilderness option, and then adding tiles to your existing landmass. As you add more tiles, your Vigor will increase, which willincrease the production rate of Dust and Sharpodonty. To maximize your production, you should add new tiles as soon as you get them.

You can acquire more tiles byupgrading your Paleohall to unlock new Islands, orpurchase them from the Bank for Wilderness Shellsor Clear Drops. Wilderness Shells are relatively easy to earn from Dailies and Weeklies, so we don’t recommend using your Clear Drops on this.
