finding all locations

[cullam]

So I'm trying to hit 100% exploration on my current game. I know my way around the levels (after my hundred+ hours of addicted play), but my journal says I've explored 146 regions on the map, but I've only discovered 91% of the locations. I think I'm hitting every named place on the detailed maps that are available. Does anyone know how many locations there are, or have a full list of them? I don't know if the maps I was looking at are incomplete, or if I just did something dumb. 

[Ohbal]

I'm not able to reach the 100% either, not entirely sure what could I be missing, I've walked each region a dozen times looking for them. 

The last update added a few new locations, so the percentages got affected. Not sure if there is a bug, anyone has the 100% here?

[Dirmagnos]

Some of the locations have nothing on them, like Lookout in ML, so unless you know where exactly they are its rather easy to miss them, since they lack any navigational marks.

[Scyzara]

I can't tell for sure if I've really found each and every last place accessible in the current game version, but I'm stuck at 94% and 153 locations (incl. all bunkers) at the moment. Hope that information helps you a little. 

When discussing the topic, please keep in mind that there may be maps (or new regions within old maps, like e.g. the bottom of the ravine) that will only be revealed once story mode launches. So It's well-possible (and imo very likely) that it's atm impossible to really discover 100% of all locations.

508 days and 0 wolf close encounters.  Very, very nice.  My stats can't possibly look like that.  I feel like I've had hand to hand combat with wolves somewhere in the double digits... 

 

[Scyzara]

Sounds like I need to start another world trip! 

[Ohbal]

Damn, so its possible! What could I possibly be missing? Well, looking at the bright side and following Scyzara's example, that just gave me a new objective in the game!

 

 

[cullam]

Good to know that it's possible! Now, if only I could come up with a list of all of them... I might start writing one, and put it out to the community to fill in any gaps. 

[cullam]

I'll have to check a couple of noted details when I get home, but this is what I know of, for locations. That's 137, or possibly 140, if the ones I noted are 2 or three locations. The fact that a bunch of places, even in the same area, have the same names is definitely not a help. Feel free to point out any I missed, and maybe we can get a useful community document laying it out.

I stuck at 93% in the moment with 150 location discovered, I don`t know how I can start to search for the last ones, because when I look at the Maps I think I have discovered all locations.

Let me think, when my 150 locations are 93% and your 153 l. 94% then 1% are 3 locations? That means I missed 21 Locations??? I can`t believe it...

nice list Cullam. I recently just realised that my 200fay stalker run has not registered on my journal/stats page. I think as I done I before the stats page was introduced,lol so I'm currently trying again on day 35ish just searched PV fully. So as I will be doing a bit of travelling again I might try this challenge myself.

Linie if you have done most of /all of these locations in one life then, it may take a bit of scrolling dependant how long you've survived, but you could check places visited on each day of survival in your journal

[cullam]

So I'll need to do some careful counting, but having had a chance to fire up the game again (totally ignoring my exploration, and trying to hog all the supplies for Whiteout), I've confirmed that a bunch of the areas that are listed as single places on the map then have a bunch of individual buildings. Sometimes that number changes, as which/how many cabins are smoldering ruins is variable. I'll do more research, and update the list. 

 

And @LinieBurrito456, the total number of locations seems to be 163, give or take. So you're only missing 13! And apparently none of the prepper's caches count, so that helps!

yes! Thank you!

[Ohbal]

Hooray! It was indeed possible... although I only have 163! 

I think the game has lost count at some of the last updates. I had to re-discover many locations in Mistery Lake to get the 100%.

Worth looking into it

Yes same happen to me, found 2 Locations as undiscovered, where I was for a long time.

But I stock at 95% now, I read the journal and count all location at the maps I have from steam, I can`t find the last 5%.

[Ohbal]

For what is worth, all "re-discovered" locations I've cross my path with are outside ones, and not the interiors. 

The bug kept on going yesterday, I'll keep updating this thread with progress. Here is the last screenshot, already at 173 locations

[Scyzara]

Yeah, it's almost certainly a bug. I'm also rediscovering various locations in ML atm of which I'm 100% sure I've already disovered them in the past so my journal is actually counting them twice now. Have you already written a bug report about it, Ohbal?

The Prepper caches do count. I checked my journal on the days I found them, and it went up 1%.  My theory on this is that the interiors of houses and cabins which are sometimes burned down count, so on some play throughs, it is not possible to reach 100% if you got unlucky on how many were there and were not there. For example, sometimes, you will find 5 cabins on the shore of Mystery Lake, other times, you may only find two, or three, and in Coastal Highway, the number of houses left standing can vary greatly from one character to the next.
