Building your first creature
StepThe whole creation process runs through the customize screen. Each time you save, your creature updates to whatever you have selected.
- Open the customize screen press E on keyboard or ButtonX on controller.
- Choose your parts mix and match body types and leg styles until you have a shape you like.
- Save your design press F or ButtonY to lock in your choices.
- Head into the world your saved creature appears and you can move it around.
Using the randomize button
TipsIf you are stuck on what to build, the randomize function picks parts for you automatically. You can hit it as many times as you want until something catches your eye, then save that result.
- Press R or ButtonR2 to shuffle all parts at once.
- There is no limit to how many times you can randomize in a row.
- If you hate the result, just randomize again — nothing is locked in until you save.

SummaryYou do not need friends to enjoy the game — solo play works fine — but joining with others means you can see every creature in the world at the same time.
