I realized after I forgot to mention that In order to change your metabolism or abilities on official servers you must now be in a homecave to do it.

Some of my own little tips I discovered after 5 days of playing 1. There are friendly Dino's out there that want to help quest, just be careful 2. When you are small avoid open areas (avoid them even when big if you don't like a fight). Stick to the trees and bushes, avoid doing quests in open areas, rest in bushes. 3. Don't run everywhere, you never know when you're gonna need that stamina to avoid being killed 4. Use a resource map, it helps A LOT 5. If you must run everywhere keep an eye on your stamina, you don't want to get to a waystone with low stam only to realise there's a camper 6. Keep moving, don't stay in one area too long, just do the quest and get going, the longer you're there the higher the chance someone will come along. 7. If you are a herbivore, NEVER trust a carnivore, they are always lying 8. All packys are ass holes and it only takes two to destroy any herbivore, even a triceratops.

Rule number one: Do NOT roar when alone.

To calculate actual damage take attacker's weight ÷ victim's weight. That is your multiplier. Take you base damage and multiply it by your multiplier. For example, an deinonycus bites an allo, Deinon weights 1000 and allo weighs 4000, 1000÷4000= .25. Deinon's bite does 50 base damage, so 50×.25=12.5 damage per bite to allo. Allo has 700 health so 700÷12.5= 56 bites to kill an allo as deinon. (Hard solo, easy in a pack) Allo turns around and bites deinon, 4000÷1000=4. Allo's bite does 60 base damage, 60×4=240 damage so 240 damage per bite from allo to deinon. Deinon has 500 health so 500÷240=2.08 bites to kill a deinon. Easy peasy!

All I got to say it’s not about running faster than the hostile players, it’s about running faster your group members and surviving for another in game day.

Also another thing to take not of is that if you play mobile do NOT expect your graphics to be as good as in the videos

When it comes to semi-realism servers, I vastly prefer them. I play on Nat Hist, which is a small server made and run by people who actually work in the paleontology field. The rules are simple enough - no mix packing (varied herb herds are fine), party limits so you don't have like 5 apexes together, etc etc. There are also engagement rules for combat so you're discouraged from mass-hunting if you're not hungry, stop combat if a body goes down, and you must stay with a body you hunted until you're done eating it or chased off of it. Some servers also have designated 'safe zones' which encourage interaction for players who might just want to vibe, or a place you can park your dino without worry if you need to AFK for a bit. Most of it is common sense stuff so it's rarely something you feel like you need a whole manual open on another screen to make sure you're not screwing up. There aren't any hyper-specific behavior profiles for each dino, but gameplay is encouraged towards "play in a way that makes sense". I think one thing you missed about community servers is that many of them hold events! These can be super fun and encourage people to play dinos they normally wouldn't, such as having a herd of less-often-played herbs migrating across the map and the goal being to survive being hunted by another party of players while working as a group, or the challenge of taking down a huge dino with a group of only deinons.

They need to do a bit more for growth. Some passive. Maybe based on eating or killing in general. ONLY growing via quests is awful on some Dino’s like sarco which are slow AF on land.

9:09 on official servers, you cannot change your diet unless you're in the home cave. Bonus tip for changing diet, the faster metabolism is a benefit to if you're still trying to grow because it gives you the "find food" quest at shorter intervals because you get hungry sooner. YMMV, some dinos lose food very quickly and it might be more annoying than helpful for the quicker eat quest.

Thanks for these videos! I’ve been playing just a couple of weeks now on PS5 and these have helped me loads. I grew Allo first too, currently working on a Metri.

One thing with this game, as I've been playing for a few months, I absolutely love the game but I do feel as if it's not the most balanced as some dinosaurs are just significantly better than others in every size group but other than that it is an insanely fun game especially for a console player it's a nice change of style

This was a very helpful video. A friend got me Into this game and she told me some of what you mentioned, but alot of it I learned on my own. I also joined a few PoT Facebook groups and have been getting help there. When my friend isn't on to play with, I've been growing a different Dino on my own. I've been finding that the Multi-player/official servers are hit and miss with toxic players and friendl players. I've had days where I can't get out of the juvi stage cuz every player I encounter kills me on sight even when they're not a carni. Then I've had days where I can play for hours without being killed cuz the other players just wanna quest. It's really a 50/50 😂

correction about changing your dino diets as herbi (or for carni too etc ) like he showed here , you cant change you abilities and so diets on officials if you arent in a homecave while on community servers they allow player to change them by just laying down and sleeping wherever they are on the map and so dont need to go for homecave

I'm just happy we have OCE servers for Australians to play. Me and my friends tried The isle and Day Of Dragons but theres only like 4 people playing. Jumped on an official server and to have like 90 people playing changes the game completely. So fun

On the isle, realism servers usually have a one carcass rule, meaning that during a hunt, when someone dies, the hunt stops until the carcass is fully eaten. That's because IRL when, let's say lions, go hunting and get a kill, they don't keep chasing the herd, they already have their meal. Now, another group of predators usually needs to fight for the carcass, but that varies, some allow a carcass per group/species, but usually it's just one. Now that diet is a big part of feeding the rules changed a bit, like cannibalism is restricted to some species due to diet, so they can hunt for decent prey.

The one thing right now that irritates me on official servers is mix packing 😤

I'm having fun and documentary immersion in semi-realism experience servers and that's my taste play. And thanks for the tips, I just recently learn I can switch Diet mode as a herbivore when I can't find anything to eat. While before I keep dying esp. when I'm not familiar yet the spots for berries, melons and bananas too.

Well said on combat weight To make it much easier to understand, imagine being a juvie sarco getting trampled by a adult Trike.

I wish there was a mod that you could actually change the stats of the dinosaurs to your liking... would really push the customization boundaries.

Something ive learned which probably aplies to nature as well is to find a good place to hide and grow as a juvenile. If you try interacting with adults who aren't your friends or questing with you they will be gunning for you just for kicks.

I'm about to buy the game and I just wanna say this video is great. I've been looking at some of the community servers and their rules and they seem a bit overwhelming at the moment so I guess I'll stick to the official servers for now.

Don't get freaked out when you die. You will rise again and the lychees will still be waiting for you. This game validates the eternal recurrence hypothesis.

With everything i learned from this video. I dub this video.. Simply Amazing

I started a megalania and grew it to adult and got the all black skin in about 12 or 13 hours probably could have done it faster but that's proof it takes about 10 hrs to fully grown a fast dino

Way back when, voip was planned it even had a keybind(t), but was never fully implemented. I'm not sure where it is on priority, or if it's even still on the table to be done. Community server types- you are mostly right. RP servers are considered more relaxed than realism and come with more leeway on play type. But more strict than semi/light rp. Realism server's are "serious roleplay" with player's dedicated to their dinos profile to act their part. Semi/light servers generally have rules along "don't kill around waystone area, no spam calling, etc." basically don't be a griefer. They fluctuate greatly on engaging/hunting rules though most will mention upon joining the server if going to their discord for more information is needed or not.

I'm new to the game and this video has helped a ton! I'm so in love with the game, but that cause Dinos are sick! Official is very fun with no rules, but semi realism is also great 🎉. Can't wait for the Smilodon mod and many more to come.

But how do you even log out? I am playing on a MacBook (not a good gaming computer) and I don’t even know how to open settings to log out.

Awesome video! I plan to purchase and play this game with my wife and kids in the near future. Need to finish building my new PC first - just waiting on prices to stabilize a bit more. Kiddos have Xbox consoles and the cross platform play is fantastic.

my only question unanswered is do you need to buy currency from the store to buy other dinos orcan you aslo get them from growing a dino to adult?

An interesting thing - on mobile if you buy the premium currency, and for the premium currency the dino packs it is cheaper (I think it was approx 1€/pack cheaper).

I just started this game yesterday it’s amazing

Most of the time semi realism just means no mix packing

I am new to the game so thanks

I wouldn’t suggest downloading the mods straight up. I would find a server I like or servers I like and then if needed download mods. Some of the mods take up a lot of space or take forever to download so it’s a waste trying to find every single mod u like or want. Just find server and it will download them before you join the sever. Good vid.

Honestly, Panjura just feels like Michigan: Really Tall Trees edition.

Combat is way to laggy in this game

So, hopefully i can get a reply. Trying to get into this game. Playing on Xbox Series. Is the $30 Founders Version enough to let me play the full game & get all the Dinos?

One thing that mystifies me is, how the heck do you save your progress in a server, log out, and log back in with your growth intact? Also, how do you maintain growth and return to a server that gets reset? I feel there’s an easy solution for this that I’m just completely missing. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

I prefer Gondwa as a starter map because I want to play sarco and it's so annoying moving around on Pandora as a Sarco

if i grow to adult in a private can i use that same dino in a public , and it will still be an adult

I started this game 2 days ago…. As a juv trex life on this game is not fair lol, some people have been really nice and others will kill me for no reason it’s a hard life boys

Has a baby flyer how do I already have a quest yo kill a herbivore. Can't even damage one lol

How bout a guide on where to find all the sidequest stuff?

Can I use the same dino on different servers

Best path of titans youtuber fr

What’s mix-packing and why does it seem to be looked-down upon in most servers?

To unlock other dinos, can we unlock them without paying?

Can we have more is it worth growing for mod dinos maybe like utahraptor?

Hello, I need help. I play on Xbox and I can only play the new map in singleplayer. If I wanna play multiplayer there is only Panjora. I also cant find other players. I can’t even find them in the hotspots. Pls help

I love aquatic carnivores then land carnivores cause I’m the water there are fish right? but on the land you have to find corpses and other players to kill and that can be very hard so I thought about it and chose a suchomimus not a very fast Dino but was faster then the strongest Dinos like rexes and Spinos!😁

How do you leave a group? I can’t figure out how to get out

Question, are they going to add npc dinos or is this just pvp, I can't find any real info. Pvp is ok, but sometimes playing single player is a needed break from the "special" people. Joking and teasing are fine, but some players take it way too far, and some way too personally. Being on the wrong part of the map at the wrong time just trying to quest can really suck.

Hey I wanted to ask you is the alioramus a good raptor hunter ? I’m trying to find a Dino to hunt those annoying raptors lol

Could logging in and logging out at home cave give you that bonus?

Does anyone know where the location of "rubble" in the Burned Forrest is?

I hate that there is no sniffing for food. You are just wandering aimelessly through the map to find some

funny how Gondwa looks less prehistoric than Panjura yet the real first Gondwana was around before land animals

On officials in order to change any skills you have to be at HC. So the food change option would not work ok n those. Unless changed again.

i just got the game and wish i had friends to play with. This game is way harder than The Isle

Can the semi-realism/realism/adaptive realism etc. types of servers be explained? Realism servers intrigue me but I don't want to fiddle around each one and waste time finding something that might not suit my gameplay/RP niche.

Just bought the game 2 weeks ago. Love the vids, very helpful. I have a question, my 10 yo really likes the game too but is getting frustrated with the kosers (we play official servers). We have 5 dinos at juvy and cant seem to get past that stage because either i or her get attacked. Should she try a community server to help get more into the game. she likes trying to find groups and questing. Any advice would be great.

Dose any one like campto?i do its a fun experience to grow(its also kinda fun to bug ppl by biting them but they can’t catch you)

How do you get coins to buy dinos

great video

So for home cave, do u have to only go into the cave u first chose at the very beginning, like the one u chose for ur quest to get that buff? Cause ive laid down and signed out in home caves before and come back but dont get that purple bar, ive only managed to get the purple bar once-

So what about with the homecave buffs for the quests how does it go away? Because when i have it my growth meter doesn't go up.

How does it work when you trying to begin to shed

thinking about getting this game for my birthday and im wondering if thalassodromeus would be beginner friendly for me? with games like this i often play flyers because i prefer a playstyle of exploring and scavenging, and i dont really mind pvp but it isnt my thing so normally i just keep a safe distance from players im suspicious of + because of how often i play these flyers im a bit better and more confident than playing as something strictly terrestrial or aquatic

Why def sub doesnt change your armor in console?

How many players transferred from the isle here?

I’m not doing these quests

Do your stats improve as your growing ? Or after every stage , like as I'm growing will my attack/Health grow by very lil eat time ? Or are we set with health & attack from a baby all the way through & only grow in size . Curious about that (sorry if I made it sound confusing)

honestly its not worth it rn mods are only uploaded through them and no ai makes it boring especially in a ocean or large map regardless of how many players there are and quest should just be removable and growth rate adjusted feels like a pointless mmo task

When I get the game do I have to unlock dinos

I tried buying all of them but it didn’t work

I will say the fastest u can run from any thing so long u have stamina

I just deleted the game once you explained it

Does this game have offline play, or is it online only?

Do all the dinos need gamepass?

Still waiting for better more interactive quests lol

I think you can sleep to accept the waystone instead of logging out.

Do you have to buy it on Xbox1?

How do you get them all?

Can you rate the acro?

I started with an argentino

Do you already have all dinos when you buy the game in xbox ?

I can’t change my ability unless in a home cave? Is this just diff on all server?

You can’t use mods on the map with everyone ? Sad

Pro tip: trust no one! 😂

Mine says shedding and I waited but it doesn’t change the skin 😢

All the Dino’s are not free for me bro

Hi, I just want to ask. If you are adult and you got killed, are you gonna turn back to sub adult?

are you playing on ps5?

6-8 hours? My ass. Even if somehow you WERE able to chain quests constantly, with movement, resting, food and water it's at least 15 hours to grow to adult, and thats on a decently fast dinosaur. It took me over 20hrs to grow a spino, and that's with group quests.

Really need passive growth because of kos they ruin game sucks to never be able to get full grow dino

Do u need to unlock dinos on xbox??

But how do I sprint?!?!

👍

pro Tip: Use Mouse and Keyboard on Consoles xD
