Customize your ptera as colorful as you want. Camouflage isn’t important when you spend most of your time above ground.

You currently can't choose your spawn location. Its about half-half between West Access and around the Dam Lake.


































You can't see the map ingame. But you can copy your coordinates by clicking on it in the TAB (top right) and paste it in one of these websites: They also have many interesting features.

Press X to toggle night vision.

Its effectiveness varies by species and weather conditions. On very dark nights, even night vision might not help much. You can improve visibility greatly through your system settings:

• Windows Key > search "calibrate" > Calibrate Display Color
  
• next, next, next
  
• set the scale to maximum

Pteras have pretty good stamina, they can fly and glide for a long time.
But they have horrible stamina regen. It takes about 4-5 minutes. So focus on preserving it.





You can save yourself from falling to your death with Tap SPACE:




To land slow down by holding Z and aim your camera at your landing spot. For a quicker descent, also hold W. Hold them until you touch down. If you release Z without enough speed, you'll stall and fall straight down.




How to: Take off then aim slowly upwards while holding W until your wings begin flapping.

This video is sped up 16x. The upward climb (holding W) took 3m35s, and the glide lasted 8 minutes, for a total of 11m35s. The wing flaps during the glide are part of the animation, no input was used.

• Generally try to not use SHIFT or hold SPACE, as they consume a lot of stamina.
  
  
• Sync SPACE taps with the wings downward flap to use stamina more efficiently while flying.
  
  
• Stamina regenerates while latched if you're above 20%, or while standing if above 25%.
  
  
• You can’t latch if you have 0% stamina.
  
  
• You can still take off when Wounded, but not with Fractured Legs.
  
  
• Sadly pteras can not dive into or take off from water, so try not to fall in. Swimming out consumes a lot of stamina, and in large bodies of water you will probably drown.
  
  
• Using RMB while latched will drop you straight down.
  
  
• Zoom in with the middle mouse wheel for tighter camera control. It helps a lot when flying through dense forests, almost like switching to first-person mode.
  
  
• To travel long distances use thermals and slipstreams.
  
  
• Perfect diet increases stamina regen.
  
  
• Dont be afraid of flying close to objects. Lets say there is a herrera on that tree.

Stomach drops from 100% to 0%: 50m
Water drops from 100% to 0%: 45m



Examples of all ai food and catching them:

• LISTEN to the animals sounds. The frog and chicken are obvious. The fish splashes. The crab digs the sand. The psittaco makes a very unique sound that can be heard from quite far.
• Bushes also rustle if animals run through them.
• Adult pteras can carry crabs, frogs, rabbits, chickens and pterodactylus. Tap G to pick up a chunk of meat, Hold G to pick up the whole animal.
• Kill animals quickly on the ground with ALT+LMB.
• After you spawn, eat anything because hunger drains very fast in the beginning.
• Bait pterodactylus (=bird) by flying around with a piece of meat.
• Save always a piece to get birds repeatedly for infinite meat.
• Vomit sickness prevents nutrient gain, lick salt to recover.

Diet types
Stay where you want your food to spawn. Need fish and frogs? Stay next to water. Need chicken or rabbit? Stay in the middle of a field (hiding in a bush or on a tree). Many times they spawn very close and they even have a few seconds of no movement or hostility (chickens fight back).
(This is recommended when you are going for perfect diet, not when you are starving.)

Gastrolith
As you grow, it becomes harder to fill your hunger with all three diet types. This is where pecking at a gastrolith rock helps. The effect only lasts for 1 minute, so you need to stay nearby. The best strategy is to chase the bigger preys toward the gastrolith, then kill and eat it there. This way, you can immediately peck the stone again between bites, without wasting stamina flying back and forth.

Slower nutrition decay
Enhanced Digestion is a hidden mutation that causes your nutrition bars to drain 10% slower.
You can unlock it by maintaining a good diet (or better) for a long time. Check for this mutation around 75% growth.


Getting water is much easier. Fly until you find a safe spot to drink. The more water, the less likely you will get eaten.

Reniculate Kidneys (hidden mutation)
• This lets you drink saltwater, which makes survival even easier.
  
• Unlock it by drinking saltwater until the "Fluid Deficient" status disappears.
  
• Do it near plenty of food and water so you can recover after vomiting.
  
• Licking salt fixes vomit sickness.

Every player gets to choose 3 mutations as they grow, unlocked at:

• 14% growth – first mutation (when you spawn)
  
• 39% growth – second mutation (about 30m of gameplay)
  
• 100% growth – third mutation (about 1h 25m of gameplay)

If you forget to choose one before the next unlock stage, you’ll miss out on that slot entirely.

If you nest and raise hatchlings, they will inherit 3 chosen mutations of the parents randomly and be able to pick 3 additional mutations of their own as they grow.

Practice pecking at AI first to get a feel for how low you need to fly. LMB (bite) has decent range, so you don’t need to dive too close. If you do, you risk colliding with your target, falling, and getting eaten.

Circle above and strike. Headshots deal the most damage, but they’re riskier since enemies may bite back.

Fighting anything that can jump is not recommended.

You can still fly up and shake off a Troodon if it pounces on you.

Water is your enemy. Pteras can't take off from water. Falling in will drain stamina fast, and in deep areas, you’ll likely drown.

Use ALT+LMB on the ground for a stronger attack.

Bleed does not stop you from flying, but if you're low on stamina, you're vulnerable. Rest often latched to trees/rocks and heal far from the ground. Watch out for Herreras climbing to you resting spots.

Fractures (broken legs) prevent takeoff. Avoid risky landings and collisions.

Salt rock heals vomit sickness or being poisoned.

Pteras don't get attacked by bees in sanctuaries.

• Group up with an opposite gender ptera.
  
• Court by holding N facing each other. (at least 70% grown)
  
• Once bonded, the female can gestate eggs
  
• Information of the eggs and nest can be reached via TAB > NEST
  
• Eggs grow over time before they are ready to be laid.

Building the nest

• Choose a safe, elevated location (tree branch, rock, etc).
  
• Hold N to place the nest.
  
• Gather 10 sticks: use Q to scent them, G to pick them up, E to add to the nest.
  
• After the nest is built, eggs can be laid by the female standing over the nest and pressing E.
  
• Keep the eggs temperature stable, not too cold, not too hot.

Joining Settings

• You can choose who is allowed to join as a hatchling under the NEST section:
  
  • Private – Only players with the code, which you can accept/decline.
    
  • Public – Open for anyone to join.

Raising Hatchlings

• Babies can’t eat regular food. Feed them by regurgitating with E directly into their mouths.
  
• Begging ends at 13.2% growth. After that, they must find regural food and water.
  
• Hatchlings inherit 3 random mutations from the parents, then choose 3 more as they grow.

Additional Nest Info

• You can only have one nest at a time.
  
• There is a 5-minute cooldown before placing a new nest.
  
• Nests can be destroyed by attacking them.
  
• If one of the parents dies, the nest is automatically destroyed.
  
• Stick collection is known to be buggy.
