Short trips win
Two safe gathers beat one overloaded dash. You keep your stamina and your life.
Gather to a list
Decide the craft, then take exactly that. Targeted runs are faster than greedy ones.
Use the databases
Do not hold 302 Pals and 115 weapons in your head. The Pal database and weapon database are the plan.
Assign, then relax
A base full of working Pals means you explore while they build. Set the work, then go.
Pre-craft ammo
Refill ammo at base, not mid-fight. Ten seconds of prep beats a reload you cannot afford.
Rotate mounts
Swap mounts by biome so travel stays fast. A wrong mount turns a short hop into a march.
Sort the storage
Label bins by material so Pals path cleanly. A tidy base runs faster than a messy one.
Watch the weather
Cold snaps hit hard. Keep a fire Pal or torch ready so a biome shift does not end the run.
