Cabin Fever & Interloper

[Fuarian]

Now I understand Cabin Fever for lower difficulties. Originally it was implemented to prevent players from hibernating, an exploity way of playing. Since the leaderboards were removed nobody really did that anymore anyways. But even then, some people still do it for longevity runs. The issue right now though is Interloper.

In Voyageur and Stalker you have the perfect conditions to hibernate for longevity. But in Interloper there's simply not enough food and supplies to pull off a hibernation. Now sure you CAN do it. But it's not that easy to pull off. Now this makes Cabin Fever a useless mechanic in Interloper. Maybe not useless, but that's one hell of a reason for it to NOT be in that difficulty. 

Not to mention the ridiculously cold temperatures and nearly constant blizzards. By the time you reach a long period of time survived it's too cold to stay outside for 10 in game minutes without getting freezing anyways. 

I think that Cabin Fever should be removed on Interloper difficulty or at least tweaked to be much rarer than it is now. On my current Interloper run I got it on day 10. Because I spent one day inside the Riken making tools and arrowheads. I call BS right there.

I don't think it's that bad in Interloper, and it's usually not difficult to deal with.  I know I'll be indoors for most of the beginning of an Interloper run.  I assume I'll get cabin fever within the first ten or so days and I plan ahead for it.  I try to make sure to keep enough sticks and cloth to make a snow shelter (if I haven't found a bed roll).  Sometimes I make a snow shelter ahead of time if I know I'll be hanging out around a single location for a few days.  If I get cabin fever, or a risk of it, I'll usually try to sleep a few hours in the snow shelter in the afternoons/evenings when it's warm enough, always just a couple hours at a time.  I always try to build the snow shelter near a house or warm cave so I can warm up if it gets too cold.

My favorite way to get past cabin fever is a nice long fishing trip.  If I'm able to craft a half dozen fishing lines, I'll gather up enough wood or coal to go for a day or more, catch up on sleep if I can, then watch the weather change over the course of a day/night as I sit in a fishing hut and hope for some big salmon or bass.

Maybe you are over reacting a bit. It's interloper so of course it is hard to deal with.

I can fully understand how cabin fever is more difficult to cope with on Interloper, but so is everything else. That's kinda the point.  I've personally never gotten it. I pay close attention to how much time I spend indoors, I go sleep in a ice shack, or beside an outdoor fire barrel if I have to. I craft outdoors or read outdoors or in a cave whenever I can.  I know that's all harder to do on interloper than the others, but if you didn't want EVERYTHING to be harder, why did you select Interloper? I don't mean to be rude at all, but you really have no wiggle room at all for "to hard" complaints about Interloper.
