Niskavuori Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Howdy, Been wondering which is the ideal temperature for curing? In some open caves I'll get close to 100% pelts and guts. Just a few meters deeper or closer to opening the % is even below 90. Have not had fire or slept in them, so they can not effect the result. All this curiosity, cause I finaly learned the entering to a area - you know the black screen, while loading - where you have your pelts curing, also launches rotting calculator at them.

Serenity Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 The exact temperature doesn't matter. Open caves always have a colder front part and a warmer back part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it the time they have been in backbag prior to curing? My little head is exploding.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serenity Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 The condition of a fresh pelt deteriorates as it cures. But that stops when it's done. If you leave it somewhere outside or in your inventory for too long the total condition is not high enough for the curing to finish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this curiosity, cause I finaly learned the entering to a area - you know the black screen, while loading - where you have your pelts curing, also launches rotting calculator at them. next time your enter a cave, pay attention to two different clues as to the cross over point from being technically still outside vs. inside of a cave. you'll notice that when you walk in and head directly to the back without stopping that your speed will suddenly drop and you kinda slow down the pace. At that point you are slowing down you have crossed the threshold are are now inside. Also the coloring of the floor shading changes hues from the lighter icy blue color near the cave entrance to the darker deeper blue stone look. ever notice a corpse near a fire pit by an entrance? don't let that placement fool you as technically you are still outside, so if you drop hides and guts to cure, they actual decay instead. Whilst just a few meters away in the back of the cave, items placed there will cure just fine. I don't even bother using that fire pit as I prefer to go to the deepest part of the cave to set up my campsite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you want to cook in a cave, the colder part works better as outdoor fires last longer with colder temperatures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been wondering what is that speed limit border inside caves. Often waking up in a cave and starting to walk towards opening and found out that first I drag myself and than suddenly speed up. But inside/outside border, makes perfectly sence! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
