Bloodskye Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 I'd actually love to see the inclusion of squirrels or even foxes. The squirrels could definitely be a source of food or a substitute for rabbits. Not as warm or durable though. Foxes could be another predator and their hide made into another kind of bedroll. I'm genuinely surprised that at least squirrels aren't a part of this game. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIA Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Squirrels, hmm. I hadn’t thought about proteins until now, but if they add protein, they should also add cones! And the cones make excellent jam, which is already cool! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mizel103 Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 (edited) If they add squirrels, they should also add one of those cute hats with a squirrel tail for you to craft with them Edited September 21, 2023 by mizel103 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never dabbled in the world of mods for TLD but I'd bet there's a mod for that lol. If not they should add it in game to spice up a base.

Bloodskye Posted September 21, 2023 Author Share Posted September 21, 2023 Now I kind of have to consider raccoons as well. @mizel103 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikikeya Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 (edited) Beavers, beavers have those nice fat tails you could cook down for cooking oil**. and their fur is water proofed and double layered for extra warmth, great for hoods and gloves, or coat linings. Squirrels could have stashes of acorns as well, so you get the squirrel meat, fur, and a chance of getting some acorns by checking around the area you killed the squirrel for the possible stash. Raccoons and Foxes could be a new element: Thieves that get at any unattended food you leave laying around outside. They might steal dead animals from traps, destroying the trap in the process. ** On a side note, getting fat from bear, deer, moose to make into cooking oil should be a thing. animal fat can be used for lamp oil, or making candles and soap*. Tallow can even be used for medical ointments and creams, meaning you could finally treat burns and abrasions with salve. *Soap is made from tallow and ash, (usually from ash trees for its antiseptic properties. You could carry one light weight multi-use cake of soap as apposed to the big heavy bottles of antiseptic, and unlike the moss bandages, or burdock tea, which are finite, tallow and ashes are renewable.

Bloodskye Posted November 23, 2023 Author Share Posted November 23, 2023 The only issue I'd see with additional animals is the game world would be slightly cluttered, but if you made them more rare to see or solitary creatures like bears and moose that would work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semple Fi Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 I’d like to see skunks and porcupines. Skunk musk would be a great bear and wolf deterrent, but would give a headache/vision problems in return. Porcupines would be good for meat and an added clothing extra for protection. Similar to the body armor from the prison. The balance would be that it only fits in the extra clothing section, forcing a choice between the rifle holster, crampons, etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be sooo cool but we want soooo much from Hinterland and they cant deliver all of our great ideas...unfortunatelly. Foxes - food and new clothing / passive animal Badger - food and new clothing / agressive animal And now correct me if im wrong but i can hear possom sounds in the evening in game for years now.... but other than some food i wouldnt see a purpouse for that animal to be in game. and final one - Seal ! Food, oil/fat, new clothing / passive animal hard to hunt (skiddish) / Only in coastal areas on the ice near the water line. We’ve also been hearing loons in the evening, another huntable bird with high fat content. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerimiahSettle Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 The cougar is coming, so at least one new animal. Not to mention toxic wolves. But these are all great ideas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuardianCreature Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 anyone know how we pitch our idea's to hinterland? i mean i know there's this place but is there anything else? like a more offical suggestions box? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodskye Posted December 12, 2023 Author Share Posted December 12, 2023 Seriously, these ideas are solid and I'll be looking around for somewhere to submit them more officially. Thanks for everyone's feedback and suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
