How high is Timberwolf Mountain?

[Morphe]

Question for devs, I think. Like in the title, how much meters/feets it is? I really want to know as to understand what kind of turture Will need to overcome.

First time you arrive in TWM zone and observe it, the mountain is menacing, sure, but it's not exactly tall actually...

Here's what I did... take some debug (F8) screenshots, say, at the summit and another one down by the lake... then compare the coordinates of your position. The general notion goes that 1 map unit translates into 1 meter or so.

This is the Mountaneer's Hut...

This is the bottom of the Canyon, probably this region's lowest:

Looking down from the Tail Section:

So... for the elevation it's barely 300 map units from the lake to the summit... Hope this helps

It's... really small

Unity units are metric. 1 map unit = 1m. It's decent size, especially for games. 400m is about the height of Observation deck on the CN Tower in Toronto. tall enough to be a mountain for sure. You have to climb up a cliff from PV, all of TWM is already well elevated from rest of the regions. Considering all the ascent is done up sheer cliffs, it's not an easy climb... nearly a full day if you're prepared and have good weather. if you run into storm or are not rested well it'll easily turn into a two day affair.

Yeah yeah, I know, but I thought it's a lot bigger. Here's the screenshot from DP, which have probably 0 MASL, so it does show us how high is TWM.

Please consider that these coords are not global, they're only property of a specific map's terrain; TLD has separate maps for all regions, caves, indoors, etc... all joined together by loading screens.

Now about sea level... the screen you posted got me thinking of something now. Say, one could start travelling from the coast in CH, all the way across PV and TWM to ascend the summit...  writing down his coordinates in every transition point between maps, so it could be possible to calculate the "real" elevation...

This thread is kinda old now, but I thought that creating another one with almost identical title would be redundant. So here's an update.

So you really want to know how high the Timberwolf Mountain is?

After a brief 3-day Piligrim trek, made somewhat long by some compulsory looting and sightseeing...

It's around 587 meters, or 1927 ft., taking the sea level in DP as reference. BTW, it seems that sea levels in different regions doesn't quite line up - Hinterland mappers probably never bothered with this... not that this was necessary in any way.

Well, in geographical terms, it's a mountain proper, but I hoped for something like a thousand meters at least... Knowledge notes found in Wintermute talk about Mystery Lake being an Alpine region situated at 1200 meters...

The highest point of my country is around meager 350 meters.

For getting me back on this topic, kudos go out to our venerable @Drifter Man who had mentioned elevations, sea levels etc. here.

Incidentally, I wanted to do the same thing - find out how high the Timberwolf Mountain is. So I started looking for a baseline, and when I noticed that the sea levels don't line up and there is no baseline, I gave up

Thanks for taking the time and doing the work to the end.

The thing is - the physical mapping distance people mention wouldn't account for the atmospheric condition changes.  And it wouldn't account for the clear alpine tree line zone.  In the end I'm going to go with visuals and observed conditions and say that Timberwolf Mountain is in the alpine transition zone.  You lose approximately 1 degrees Celsius for every 100 meters.  And its a coastal island that appears to get heavy snow fall.  Using data from the Olympic Mountains (not perfect, I know, Great Bear is closer to the circle) - a guess would put Timberwolf Mountain at close to 1,500 meters, probably a little bit below.  Has anyone recorded the overall temperature difference between Coastal Highway and Timberwolf?  My overall impression was that it was about 8 - 10 degrees.

We shall soon have to separate TLD science into several branches. This would be geology. Pantlessnessology being most prominent, of course. +1

Then you have animal behavioralists, theres a widely disputed field of realismology, UI specialists, and weightologist experts who claim they can carry 50+ kg up an icy mountain no problem.

These forums are chock full of scientists. Many of which inhabit multiple branches haha.
