Wild Origin Beginner Tutorial: How to Start Playing for New Players

The open world of Wild Origins poses a certain barrier to new players, often leading to progress being stuck due to chaotic resource allocation or insufficient understanding of the mechanics in the early stages. However, beginners need not worry, as I have brought along a beginner's guide for Wild Origins. The core gameplay can be simply summarized as gathering tools - building facilities - confronting threats. Next, I will help everyone establish their survival advantage right from the moment they enter the game.

Actually, the first three hours should be prioritized to solve basic survival issues, such as crafting tools, setting up temporary shelters, and avoiding harassment by low-level mechanical beasts. Immediately after starting, collect at least 10 dry branches and 8 pieces of rubble that are visible on the ground, and craft a stone axe and pickaxe within 5 minutes. The stone axe is used for chopping down regular trees, yielding 4-6 units of wood per tree. The pickaxe mines surface quartzite, obtaining 2-3 units of stone each time. Note to clear out the thorny vines (which cause continuous health loss upon contact) near resource points first; wearing rough cloth gloves (starting equipment) reduces collection damage by 50%. If you encounter patrolling mechanical beetles, hide in the bushes until they leave to avoid unnecessary combat consumption in the early stage.

Your first shelter is recommended to be built at the intersection of broadleaf forests and quartz beaches, where the refresh rate of wood and stone is higher. The construction order is: basic workbench (30 wood + 15 stone) → storage box (20 wood + 5 iron sheets) → simple bed (40 wood + 10 fiber). The bed provides a respawn point and partial health recovery, while the storage box can hold 30 slots of supplies.

When encountering small mechanical beasts (like crystallized spiders), use a stone spear (5 wood + 3 rubble) for mid-range stabbing, aiming at the glowing joints to deal double damage. If surrounded by multiple beasts, immediately retreat towards the water, as mechanical units' movement speed decreases by 70% when entering the water. After defeating your first mechanical beast, unlock the disassembly function, converting its remains into metal sheets (2-3) and an energy core (1), the latter used to activate the Maka pet system.

Your character has three basic indicators: hunger, thirst, and body temperature. When hunger drops below 30%, attack power decreases; it can be replenished by collecting berries (from blue shrubs on the map) or making roasted meat (raw meat + campfire). When body temperature is too low, wear leather armor (4 animal hides + 6 fibers) or get close to a campfire to recover. Eating three different types of food for the first time each day activates a balanced nutrition state, increasing movement speed and gathering efficiency by 10%.

The core focus in the early game is establishing resource gathering and safe shelter construction. On the first day, prioritize tool crafting and basic structures, and on the second day, unlock Maka's automated gathering, etc., to avoid exploring high-risk areas too early. All actions should adhere to the logic of reducing survival costs, which will allow everyone to successfully establish themselves in Wild Origins.
