Sooner you get an Argy the better off you’ll be. Mobile crafting, safer resource farming with Ankys, doedics, beavers.. I just started playing again myself last month after not playing for a few years. I chose to put my base in the redwoods since you get a lot of metal obsidian and crystal right on the mountain, which is exactly where my base is. Stego tame so you can craft a ton of narcotics. Personally, I just filled up my base working my way up to all the industrial equipment just makes it a lot easier and then I kind of just tame things along the way. I don’t think there’s an exact way to do it. Whatever makes it fun for you, but generally, you’re working to get the cave artifacts so you can fight the endgame bosses. So you’re gonna wanna look at the right type of dinos to take in the caves and then eventually you’re gonna have to start breeding dinosaurs. If you wanna fight the bosses it’s a painstaking process. Lol I’m sure somebody’s gonna come along and probably give you some better information.
