Awww...we all became so fond of our "bear stuck on the rock" ;)

Invisible corpses was suspected, as this has been a trouble in the past also.

Empty Flare Gun containers explains the difficulty in finding a gun for your flare shells, even with the loot RNG changes.

Cheers.

Confirm this is now showing for me, however it's not retroactively populated with the 50 days I spent in the Far Territory at the beginning of this run. It still says zero, so my days in all the listed regions still don't add up to the total days I've lived. Is this expected behaviour, @Admin? Is it possible to get the journal to include that data?
