Ark Survival Evolved – How to Start with No Hair or Beard?

After some careful deliberation and laying out what we had accomplished, we decided that we did in fact omit a large part of the game.

Exploration!

It's kind of simple if you think about it, the island is huge, and while we did carve out a small safe corner of it, we had not yet explored even a fraction of the island.
So now we've set off on foot, following the shore from the western to the eastern border. Due to the crafting of arrows / food / temporary shelter and the fighting involved, we've discovered new species of dinosaur and leveled up quite a bit.

So if you're in doubt after the early game on what to do, and don't want to break the feel of such an immersive and fun game by power leveling or doing stuff just to get ahead in the game, try finding out whats past that high hill near you.

If the dinosaur is killed then the platform on the dinosaur and anything on it is also destroyed. The platformsaddle can be recollected from the corpse.
