🌱 First Steps to Survival

Survival begins with your basic needs. Every animal has two main stats to maintain: food and water. If either drops to zero, your character will quickly weaken and eventually die.

🥤 Finding Water

• Water is critical and should always be prioritized.

• Sources: Rivers, ponds, and lakes scattered across the map.

• During rain or thunderstorms, water levels rise.

• In dry seasons, some waterholes shrink or dry up.

• Tip: Never wait until your thirst is critical — refill whenever you find water.

🌿 Finding Food

What you can eat depends on your diet type:

• Herbivores: Grass and tree leaves.

• Carnivores: Meat from hunts or carcass spawns.

• Omnivores: A mix of plants, meat, and insects.

Learn your diet early. Eating the wrong type of food isn’t possible, so you must adapt to what your animal needs.

🛡️ Spawn Protection

When you first spawn, you’re shielded from attacks. A shield icon above your head shows you’re protected.

• You can’t attack or be attacked.

• Use this time to locate food, water, and safe ground.

✅ Summary

Step one is simple: eat and drink. Once your needs are stable, you can focus on growing, exploring, or hunting.
