Kranium Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 (edited) Ability to step over larger objects (eg. logs) Why can't I fill up on water at open water spots? (eg. waterfalls, ice fishing hole) Can make it cost something, like wet gloves and/or frostbite risk to hands, parasites (google "beaver fever"). Pain killers are OP IMO. Make them take time to work, and/or have them make you drowsy while they're working. Also shouldn't be targeted! Candles Cross-country skis & snowshoes, maybe toboggans (hauling gear) [ties into candles: use for ski wax, which is needed to maintain; less ski wax, slower/use more energy] Lower/raise backpack via rope at rope climbs, lightens your load. Saves energy, costs time. (As a mountain scrambler IRL, the rope climbing cost re: sleep is kind of ludicrous) Alcohol. Pass time while drinking, cures cabin fever, risks sprains, maybe costs temperature. Possible crafting ingredient (disinfectant, accelerant, painkiller) Cougars. (no, not like my aunt) Bone tools Snow depth as a mobility factor. Snowblindness, and sunglasses. (craftable) see this wiki I also want bread so I can use toasters during an aurora, because I love toast. That is all for now.

Catlover Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 (edited) I agree with most, if not all of these. Although writh there being alcohol mods, not sure if it needs to be added to the game. Curious about your aunt though... Edited January 3, 2022 by Catlover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfuegemann Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Nice list. Especially the lower/raise backpack would be natural, as You can do it with the rope still in place for the climb. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeanda Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Agreed, except the alcohol. Getting stuck on tiny little bits of snow etc drives me nuts!🙂 Not much to put on that yummy toast though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChillPlayer Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 (edited) These are all sensible things but people tend to forget that TLD is not a survival simulator, it's a survival emulator. The game is designed in such a way that you feel the stress of a survival situation without simulating it and the mechanics go hand in hand to enforce a survival thinking. That's probably why we can't lower backpacks down a cliff for example, it would make travelling around much easier and skew the "pros & cons" question of how much to pack. And with hide bag, crampons and well fed you already have a very comfortable cusion of 45kg you can carry down a rope, if you pack even more than that, you're mind has not reached a survivor state yet The same goes for the idea of filling up bottles in waterfalls and such - yes it would make sense but again, you wouldn't have to think much about how much water to pack and if you should waste a match just for melting snow. And the ability to step over logs would probably lead to a complete rework of the world because many locations are only reachable one-way by design. So from the above list I would only agree with 8 and maybe 10, though we already have head-winds as a limit to mobility. I fear that the other things on the list would turn TLD more towards a simulator while lessening the emulator aspect of it. Well except for toast, toast makes everything better Edited January 3, 2022 by ChillPlayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranium Posted January 3, 2022 Author Share Posted January 3, 2022 (edited) Well I will say that I post this more as a wish list for TLD2. And I'd definitely like more of a simulator than emulator, however, it's possible to balance everything out either way. I can't see any big changes in TLD outside of new areas & a few more new items that are little more than tweaks to already existing ones. (excluding mods, I haven't bothered yet, not until I get too bored) Also, we have peanut butter. It requires toast. 😁 Edited January 3, 2022 by Kranium 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeanda Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 And Beans 🙂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranium Posted January 3, 2022 Author Share Posted January 3, 2022 (edited) Beans: +5°C warmth when consumed before sleep because of Dutch Oven effect; duration 6 hours. OK seriously: cougars only come out at night. Silent unless running, stalking behaviour, can bee seen from a distance if equipped with a light source via glowing eyes, light also works like flares on wolves. Attack: cutscene like bear/moose; Result: no broken bones, lower risk of sprain, higher lacerations/blood loss & way higher clothing damage. ???

That being said: yes, toast please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeanda Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 How about some rosehip jelly to go with the peanut butter? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A big one, in my case. Yummers! (full disclosure: I normally pack a small jar of peanut butter for my backpacking trips. And a spoon.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jeffpeng Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 (edited) Not sure that in the most dire of circumstances a spoon is required. But it kinda keeps up the illusion of being civilized - I agree. 😄 And yes, I used to smuggle in peanut butter for military survival training back in the day. Keeps you on your feet and your spirits high. Edited January 4, 2022 by jeffpeng Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeanda Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 You can use the peanut butter to distract the wolves... One tiny bit on their nose or tongue and they'll be so busy licking you can run quite a way away! Used to take my dog ages to stop licking.. hilarious!🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
