Surviving your first wipe
- Punch trees, hit nodes — craft a spear and bow before a base.
- Build a small 1x2 with airlock in a quiet area.
- Learn recycler runs (supermarket/gas station) for early scrap.
- Farm at night, roam at day, and never trust "friendly" in voice chat.
Livestock farming basics
- Capture wild cows/sheep and pen them at your base.
- Breed for good genes; sell grown animals at the Stables vendor.
- Milk, wool and dung feed new food recipes and fertilizer.
