Just a little hack for beginners that don’t have doedic/ anky. (Also useful in mid-game 🤭) get your pts and put them on follow except for one. Bring them to an area with a lot of metal and farm it. Put it all in the pts’ inventory and go back and forth flying from your base to the metal source. (This is my opinion on getting metal and it helped me get started before I tamed an anky. Also it worked for me because I was close to metal.) Hope this helps a little 😊😊
