Each dinosaur requires a specific method. Research the creature, gather the required resources (e.g., food, narcotics), and use the appropriate taming method (e.g., knocking it out and feeding it).
Gather resources like wood, thatch, and stone. Craft the necessary structures (walls, foundations, etc.). Place the structures to create your base. Remember to secure your base with defenses.
Single-player settings allow you to customize your experience by adjusting settings like XP gain, crafting speed, taming speed, and difficulty. These settings can be changed from the main menu.
When playing online, approach another player and select the option to invite them to your tribe. Alternatively, use tribe management options to invite players.
The game automatically saves your progress periodically. You can also manually save by exiting the game or sleeping in a bed or other suitable structure.
Focus on the basics: gathering resources, building shelter, crafting tools, and finding a safe location to start. Taming a low-level herbivore can also greatly improve your early survival capabilities.
As you level up, you'll unlock the ability to craft better tools. You'll need to learn the engrams for those tools and gather the required resources to craft them.
Ensure your Switch system software is up to date and that the game has the latest patch installed. Try restarting the game and your console. If the problem persists, reinstall the game.
Adjust the in-game graphics settings to lower values. Consider playing in handheld mode for slightly better performance. Clear the Switch's cache.
Check your internet connection. Ensure you have a Nintendo Switch Online subscription. Restart the game and your console.
Save your progress frequently. Restart the game. Try reducing the number of active creatures or structures in your base.
