Ice Hole Posted December 11, 2019 Author Share Posted December 11, 2019 Battery has matured and is now set free into the harsh world of The Long Dark. Battery population has just got boosted. Now trucks are not greedy and release Battery. No longer is Battery shy and will easily jump into the backpack. The good old Lighting Bolt is looking fine. Branningan Brand Battery engineered for Canadian extreme climate. Once dehydrated Battery can be sacrificed to the munition god. If only Battery had some other greater purpose then this act of violence would be mitigated. Battery is heavy now too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice Hole Posted December 12, 2019 Author Share Posted December 12, 2019 This bunny does not make a good mascot for Battery. He keeps not going... not going ... not going ... not going ... not going ... OMG! He moved! George is alive but stunned or maybe shocked. I give granola bar. 4 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice Hole Posted December 12, 2019 Author Share Posted December 12, 2019 This is a memorable day. Battery has graduated. It is also possible to harvest unspent rounds and returns bullet shell and gunpowder. The 0.01 kg of powder can help light a fire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckles Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Secret battery hidden under the hood. Too bad the hood is crushed, cannot be opened and therefore the battery cannot be removed to make bullets, PEW PEW. 🤪 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice Hole Posted April 15, 2020 Author Share Posted April 15, 2020 19 hours ago, Ice Hole said: The challenge has been put forth. Thirty kilograms is the carry limit so in order to climb with gear or cloths the well fed benefit would assist. Another bonus would be the moose hide satchel. The three levels do make an interesting set of challenges. Only Battery, Fed Battery, Papoose Battery. Pleasant Valley is the start location to gather two Battery, probably best at the Point Of Disagreement. Then climb up to the summit with two Battery. During an aurora for the added charge of excitement. The plan for Only Battery Reveal hidden contents Since the mountain summit is accessible to goats this will be the strategy. 15 hours ago, piddy3825 said: got well fed but no satchel... this could take forever...

Ice Hole Posted April 15, 2020 Author Share Posted April 15, 2020 An interloper looked around P.V. in the usual places and no sight of Battery. Where are you Battery? Get over it. I see Battery! Trapped. Getting desperate. Threatened to tip this one over if it did not tell where is Battery. Weather is getting bad. Taken pictures in a blizzard has it consequences. Looked nearly everywhere and found not Battery. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice Hole Posted April 17, 2020 Author Share Posted April 17, 2020 (edited) This time instead of a start in P.V. the spawn was the muskeg. Trekked over to M.L. then onto P.V. Brought tools for the job. Battery is still hostage. Battery is nowhere. Onto the Coast. Then in desperation head over to Town. My prayers are answered. Did a little jig when I found all Battery.

Towards the Mountain will be a long journey walking around with a leadfoot. Those who laugh last laugh the loudest.

piddy3825 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 The Great Expedition has begun! Battery is first of Zapkind to ascend. Battery loves company so invited friend Zap to ascend. Battery takes time to pose for photos. Battery and extra charge reach base camp! Battery must rest and recharge before continuing journey sleep well! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice Hole Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 This game knows what I am doing? The other day I found Battery in Milton and was overjoyed. I then started to figure that going to Milton from the beginning would be faster to complete. So I started another interloper and carefully picked the badges I would use. The stamina buff and fire starting. The runner buff is not really important, there is no lack of food. The fire starting offers easy starts and no tinder. The stamina is most important cause of all the running. Going naked I will need to make warm up tea by the fire and run to alleviate the slow pace. The spawn was HRV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice Hole Posted April 28, 2020 Author Share Posted April 28, 2020 Battery was found in Milton. Been with me ever since and this is the first time out of the back pack. Battery says take this for safety. Looking for the twin and headed down to the coast. Looked briefly. Not bothering to go to the quonset and heading towards the valley. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice Hole Posted April 30, 2020 Author Share Posted April 30, 2020 I considered going further down towards the cannery but my return route would have to take me to the muskeg. So instead the coast and valley was chosen. Battery was not found in either region and now I am back at the dam. Going to head towards the lodge and tool up along the way. Had luck there before when trying out the new walkingdead challenge. Battery was found in the garage on a bench or out in the car by the lodge. Battery on loper are scarce. This challenge on loper is not just about climbing more to do with searching and logistics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, I was just curious, but is it possible to create a custom game with an Interloper level difficulty but still maintain/keep battery availability at a high level like in a Voyager or Pilgrim play setting?

I'm probably assuming too much about the programming here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm probably assuming too much about the programming here? Battery spawns alright just the availability is low. Look what I found last night. Battery and moose was what I came to Broken Railroad to find. No moose at the lodge. Was planning on using the satchel to load up to make the journey to the valley smoother. Maybe it is best to forget the satchel take the twins with me and just go. On another note comedy in the olde days was different than today. One of the best straight man was Bud Abbott. His ability to keep a straight face (during a live show) in the midst of Lou's comedy madness made their routines golden. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice Hole Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 Walking from the Maintenance building was breeze. The blizzard that whipped up had the wind at my back which did push me along speeding the slow walk. The storm lasted all the way to the poachers camp. Now standing at the edge of the muskeg and heading towards the lake. Spent the night at the camp office. In the morning was sunny and mad it to the dam. Food is scarce now and the rotting carcass was a meal. Pushed on to the Valley and spent time fixing clothes at the draft dodger's cabin. At the plane crash I saw a lonely crow. Now at the Point of Disagreement. Trimmed the backpack down to 35 kilograms. The warm tea and stims should get me to the hut in short time. Time to rest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piddy3825 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Hello @Ice Hole, What do these things have in common? "Cause they both give you a charge!" Zap must be a very diverse manufacturing company? eh? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice Hole Posted May 5, 2020 Author Share Posted May 5, 2020 (edited) In the beginning before the collapse there was economic troubles across Europe. Now we see that ZAP brand corporation was huge and was monopolizing diverse markets and leading as largest manufacture in the world. Autowalk is coming and this Battery Ascension challenge will become less of a burden. Currently I employ an autowalk which is making the walking with twins less tedious. Able to sip a beverage while moving 1 meter per hour is great. I do propose a rule change that makes this more feasible and funner. Battery Ascension challenge: Battery can be placed down but never abandoned. Battery can only be placed down for pictures and for rope climb. When approaching a rope climb. Battery is tied to rope at bottom. Climb up rope. Battery from backpack then holds top of rope while the lower one is brought to top. imagine that you are pulling the rope from the top. Instead climb down the rope. Battery is picked up and brought up rope. Battery twins reunited. Edited May 5, 2020 by Ice Hole 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
