Thelek Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Hi folks, Thelek here. long time - no post. I have been off on other projects while waiting for updates to TLD, and I am not at all dissapointed. I LOVE what i have seen so far. but.... I cant seem to find any of the preppers caches in ML.I have started nearly 50 games looking for one of the 5 or 6 I know how to find, but cant find a single one of them. I read in another post that some had been moved, so I put in a few days on a play through searching ML for one. no luck, and i looked in some pretty hard to get to places. so, is there a new map that may show the new locations, or have they been totally removed.

Thelek Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 rhe most recent video i could find was 7 months old and it showed them all in the locations i remembered. is it possible that they are just not spawning for some reason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scyzara Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 They don't spawn on Interloper, are you playing this mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelek Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 oh no. far from it. i usually play in Voyager mode, but i have been playing in Pilgrim until i get reaquainted with the game and get used to all the changes since i last played. the few times i tried Stalker, i either froze to death or got eaten within just a few minutes of starting a game, so i just dont try any more. on my current start, i have checked the weapons, tool, medical, and the 2 food caches near the train loading area. those 5 are the easiest for me to find, so they are always the first i look for. in over 50 starts, there has been no cache in any of those 5 locations.

Scyzara Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Hm, very strange. I'm moving this thread to the Bug forums as the caches should definitely be there on Voyageur, Pilgrim and Stalker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohbal Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 It would be quite interesting to see if you can find any of the three you haven't been looking for. IIRC there are 8 caches in ML. There could be a mechanic tagging which cache gets generated in each new game, and maye it won't change until you finally get that discovery. Just guessing, as indeed its odd that 50 new games didn't spawn any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played @Litstorm's saved game and found the hunter's cache across the tracks from the Camp Office and up the hill behind the rock. It had apparently moved to the other side of that rock. Not sure about any of the other ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelek Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 the weapons/hunters cache is almost always ths first i look for depending on spawn location, i even circled the entire mountain in case it did move some. the last 3 i have always had trouble finding unless i happen to spawn right on top of it.but i intend to attempt to find them on this playthrough.

Support Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 This doesn't appear to be a bug - It sounds like you just haven't found a cache yet, not that they didn't spawn. Please let us know if you can't find any of them, at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelek Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 well, i have been too all cache locations in ML on this play through. still no cache. guess i will start a new one and look again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why start a new one? Is a cache so important? I'm on over Day 100 in my latest sandbox...and I haven't found the cache on ML in it either, if and when I do find it I'll be happy but to start a new sandbox just because a cache can't be found...for me it just wouldn't sit right.

I was also told Fluffy doesn't spawn on Interloper, but I determined that to be a lie. It's wasn't a lie, it only changed over the course of time. When Interloper was released, Fluffy did indeed not spawn in this mode. But some updates later (not sure if it was Resolute Outfitter or even a bit earlier) he got introduced on Interloper as well, probably because many players (including myself) had missed him dearly. As for the caches: To the best of my knowledge these should not have spawned on Interloper at any point of time. At least I never found a single one in dozens of games.

Scyzara Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 5 hours ago, Thelek said: does that mean there are 2 caches to be found in PV then? Again: In Pilgrim, Voyageur and Stalker, there is one random prepper cache in PV AND the bunker near the rope that leads to TWM. (So yeah, if you don't differentiate between those two kinds of caches, it's 2 in PV altogether.) But only the former is a real, randomly located prepper cache. It can spawn in different locations in different games and contains different kinds of items that always belong to a specific theme (e.g. "food", "medicine" or "hunting"). In direct contrast, the TWM rope bunker is ALWAYS in the very same spot in every game and has no specific loot theme whatsoever. It's much more like a normal house than like one of the prepper caches. Just because it looks the same doesn't make it the same. And in Interloper, there is no random prepper cache, but only the TWM rope bunker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunker locations do change with the updates so make sure if you're using a guide/map/walkthrough that it is up to date. The one cache I've ever found on Pleasant Valley no longer exists because that area is now a cliff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
