Bolshoy_YX Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Stuck in a cave with an elevator. Got claustrophobic. I cannot speed up time. I cannot save the game. I have to spend real time, not game time. We need to do something about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajb1978 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 That would be the Cinder Hills Coal Mine, lower portion, after taking the elevator up to the middle portion. And yep, if the aurora has stopped, you are trapped until the next one. There is a little bit of food to be found down there, and the recycled cans can be used on the fire barrel to boil water. But apart from that, you are stuck until the next aurora. If you have Cabin Fever and can't sleep or pass time, you can sort of force the system to pass time by harvesting your coat or boots and hitting Esc to cancel before the harvest is complete. Each instance will pass about an hour of time. It's tedious, but faster than waiting 2 real hours for a day to pass. It's entirely possible, likely even, that you'll die down there though. Aurorae happen about once a week on average, so the odds aren't in your favor. You can go several days without sleep, but not a full week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolshoy_YX Posted October 23, 2020 Author Share Posted October 23, 2020 Thank you for your advice. I survived! The aurora began that very night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glflegolas Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 You can keep making water in the mine if you can start a fire (there's plenty of coal to sustain it), but food will be an issue. Before exploring the mine, I would suggest bringing a bedroll and a stout stockpile of food, and making sure your cabin fever risk is as low as possible. One way to ensure that is to explore the mine within the first 25 days (50 on Voyageur) of arriving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
