Tips & Strategies
Get three paras appropriate for your level (what I mean by this is that they can balance out with your speed and compensate for the amount of materials you need to carry but cant because you dont have enough weight) and name the first one Mule A. The next Mule B. The next Mule C. Focus all of their levels on weight. If they are too fast they’ll be like diplo squads for low levels. All they do is circle around. Next go out farming for specific materials you need. Whenever you have too much in your inventory one of them will be behind you. Dump the materials into them. Repeat until each of the paras is at weight right before being encumbered and before you are encumbered. Even if you have enough materials make sure to get as many as possible because you may need more sooner or later. When you get home to your base put the materials into crafting stations/storage boxes/storage. Then go out again if needed and repeat gathering materials if needed. Have a nice day :P
More Parasaur Utility Tips
Utility Roles for Parasaur:
1. Long Range Scout. Paras have naturally high stamina, so they can cover distance without needing to rest. Plus their turret mode gives you alerts for nearby enemies (level Movement Speed to ensure you can outrun any threats you come across...RIP my very first Para)
2. Pack Mule. Paras have very high weight for the early game. Even low level Paras can carry a lot of stuff. Just jump on it's back when you're overencumbered and it will take care of the rest. (level weight to make sure your mount doesn't get overencumbered as well)
3. Turret. As mentioned, Paras have an in-built turret mode to root out enemies. It has a pretty long range too so if your out exploring it can come in handy. (level Health and Melee Damage in case your Para gets jumped)
4. Berry Harvester. By far the easiest way to get berries is to use a Para. Need Narcoberries to make Narcotics? Use a Para! Need Mejoberries for tames? Use a Para! (level weight to carry as much berries as you can!)
