1. Prioritize Shelter: Build a shelter early on to protect yourself from the elements and enemies. Use leaves, sticks, and logs to construct a basic shelter or find a suitable location to set up camp.
7. Explore Caves: Explore underground caves to discover valuable resources, hidden secrets, and potential shelter locations. Be prepared for encounters with dangerous creatures and plan your expeditions accordingly.
8. Stay Alert at Night: Be extra cautious at night as visibility decreases and hostile creatures become more active. Use torches, flares, or crafted light sources to illuminate your surroundings and keep threats at bay.
9. Save Often: Save your progress frequently to avoid losing valuable resources and progress in case of unexpected events or encounters. Establish multiple save points throughout the game world to ensure you always have a backup plan.
10. Team Up: Consider teaming up with other players in multiplayer mode to increase your chances of survival. Collaborate on building projects, share resources, and watch each other’s backs during encounters with enemies.
(I play solo, but, online and with others is fun and greatly increases your chance of survival!)
