Berries provide 1.5 food vs a cooked meat which gives 20 food. Trikes can be used to collect 100 berries with one right click and raptors can be used to get 5 meat from a single kill in under 30 seconds.

how do you get your dinos to collect for you?

[Daghet]

Make sure you're not cold. If you have a cold debuff, you will loose hunger more quickly. Also if you see your hunger icon whiteish, press "z" to poop. Keeping a regular bowel is very important.

Also, eating cooked meat is a lot easier to deal with hunger, rather than 100s of berries. :)

except you're better off not using the raptor for the kill and using the pick axe to get the meat and it's the left click for the attack that collects berries

Berries really are only something you use when you cant find meat or build a fire. Meat last longer cooked and gives you much more food. If you do want to be a berry picker for life as Haasmd86 pointed out get a trike and you will be rolling in berrys for weeks.

You Left click just like your attack (which you are doing so be careful) and you will collect what ever the Dino can collect.

Now when I go on hunting expeditions with my raptors I leave meat behind to make room for other loot. My clan is bleeding meat from our ears hahah.

Keep at it buddy. This game is actually kind of interesting because the amount of time it takes to recover from a catastrophic failure seems to reduce every time it happens. I can't tell you how many dinos I have lost, how much metal wasted on making picks that got lost with the dinos, and wasted structure pieces due to idiocy.

Food should be more of an issue than it is. Play smart, don't let yourself start freezing to death, remember that everything you do costs energy so don't do stupid wasteful stuff like sprint everywhere or swing at things needlessly, at least not if you don't have some food strategy to make up for it.

1. Keep yourself warm.
2. Do not run, do not wave your hand like crazy. Keep you stamina.
3. Poop.

There really needs to be food recipes (bread, soups, etc) that give a buff to hunger so you aren't spending so much time just fending off hunger/thirst. Its going to get old really quick how its been imo.

[Endfear]

Everyone posting really smart advice but the food and water is going faster than before. I had to eat 6 cooked meat in the span of 7 minutes just to remain full. (i let the hunger drop below 35/100) As an added note i was wearing cloth armour and it was neither cold nor hot. I can't leave the shore without 4 waterskins filled up and like 30 cooked meat.

I found a soup recipe but have not tried to make it yet. So they do exist.

Berries are just for some quick snacks, and to hydrate you a little bit. For a real meal, cooked meat is MUCH better and you get raw meat off any dino you kill and only need some stone, flint, and wood to make a fire to cook it. Pluse once you level up enough to unlock the cooking pot there are even more ways too cook food as well.

It's harder starting out to stay full, this is just part of starting out. It's hard, then you start getting the hang of things and leveling up and it all gets easier. If they nerf hunger this game wont really feel like survival anymore. I know it's tough but try to stick it out. Get a campfire built and try to kill some dodos or dilos at first. Use berries to supplement your hunger till you're up and set. Get the spear for sure it's very helpful in the lower levels. Carry at least 3 of them as they can break at random.
