An introduction

Hey everyone,

I'm one of those "pensive exploration" type, as in, pilgrim is what made me consider playing the game at all, and 2 months and 370 hours of play later... here I am! 🙂

Welcome to the wilderness.

Thank you both! 😊

@PilgrimReaper

All of the game modes (Pilgrim, Voyager, Stalker, Interloper, Custom) each have their own wonderful merits.  We each get to play the experience that works best for us.

There are plenty of Pilgrim Exporters compare notes with, and plenty of folks for each mode that like to offer strats and advice for just about any question about surviving on Great Bear Island that a poster could think of.  Sometimes new questions lead to us all discovering new aspects to work into out play styles.

Greetings from the land of Dixie!

@LeeandaI'm moving this over here for fear that things get too off topic in the "DLC" thread: I did not know that you could fiddle with the blizzard settings and such in the options! As I can't find this in my current game options, I presume this has to be done before starting a new run, right?

[Leeanda]

Yes it  does.. go onto custom..at the top you'll see the word custom.. scroll that right until it says pilgrim . Then go down through the options it gives you . You can pretty much change anything you want..

Ah, that makes sense, thanks! I'll have to find a way to deal with the weather in FA when I get there though, as I'm pretty much prepped (all level 5 skills, nice clothing / tools, etc).

Starting a new save means starting all skills from scratch though..  it's odd that fog isn't in the settings when blizzards and aurora are.. I think that will be the most problematic thing to deal with..   you can still use sticks to mark the way though if needed. 

Good luck.👍😊

I prefer to use cattail heads or tinder plugs instead. Unless you lay them end to end, it’s generally very easy to mistake a stick trail for random sticks.

True.. there's also used torches and spray paint.. I honestly never use any of them ,I like wandering around in the murk😁.

With the March Dev Diary post from yesterday, I realized something: I'm new enough to the game that I don't know what prepper bunkers are!

What can you guys tell me about them?
