Fortunately we'll be starting in the forest biome first and can work up to the arctic, although the polar bears might spam us like the normal bears in beta #2.

Wonder if player inventory has been reset too? Presume so.
So I can now expect to be swarmed by 2 different types of bear, wolves and a mammoth now? I'll be safe in my thatch hut though won't I?

I'm only at level 13 so not got to stone buildings yet.
I understand it gets better much like Ark but with more detail /options and much more grinding

Can anyone tell me how to get a MP game going, or is it single player only for Beta?
Thank

Have to do it through steam (doesn't seem to be a invite/join method in game currently), launch a prospect, invite someone and they'll join in their own pod and land next to you.

That worked a treat fella thanks.
Any ideas on how to create a party if it’s possible lol
thanks.

thanks.
Not that I've seen, think it's only as simple as inviting steam friends to the lobby/game at the moment.

Played this 4 hours tonight on stream, had a decent American join my game and had a great time getting a first look at this. Very enjoyable indeed.

Get your friend/s to 'Join game'. This will load the game but they will see a message telling them to create/choose their character.
Then its simply a case of joining the active prospect, they will land close by in their own dropship.
You get a tiny amount of xp within a certain radius of team-mates if they are earning some.

Cheers fella,
We got into the same game together no issues, loving the beta.
But wanted to see if it was possible to team/clan up so to speak.
Have had a good look around and it doesnt seem to be implemented yet.

How long in real time were you given to complete the first session. Not how long you took over it.
Off the top of my head it was 7 days.
I find that for each prospect i would over prepare for it just incase i find something that i'm gonna struggle with.
Been having a blast with this today with some friends.
feels a little early access but it’s still with the cost and I’ll definitely get my monies worth

With any survival game, i love the beginning, im out collecting all the stuff, cooking, building, while my drop mates do the missions, I do go on them ocasionaly. My guy i play with dropped in yesterday, ive built a nice 2 story house, stocked the fridges and hes like WTF. I would like the missions to be progressive ie keep ure base etc, but, hey ho., i like it.

What do you mean I can't stand next to a fireplace in full body armour carrying 140kg of iron ore. Just because it's a desert and the ambient temp is 50 DegC!
How dare they add heat management to a PVE survival game

I have about 170 hours in this game, got the majority of the workshop items.
The game needs some serious work even after 16 weeks of updates, the game is barely at what it should have been at release.
In 170 hours I have had about 12 game breaking bugs that have required me to scrap missions that I have been on for 4 to 6 hours, completely wasted missions that have had to be started again.
Also gaining exotics is a bore fest, 30 minutes of staying around with extractors waiting to mine it is not my idea of fun.
Although I have enjoyed my time in the game it has been very frustrating so I am looking forward to more updates bug fixes and DLC with new maps and new alien monsters and vehicles (basically the stuff that was on the original trailer!)
Also forgot to mention the new temperature changes have just made the workshop nano armour pointless, that armour takes a lot to get and now they have basically broken heat and cold resistance, absolutely stupid

Annoyed by the ~1 hour updates every 2 weeks get a decent fibre connection. I deleted and re-downloaded the game in 7 mins! Finally found a use for the new connection.
