TALES FROM THE FAR TERRITORY, PART FOUR IS HERE!

This is exactly what is meant.

If the Carcass is already ravaged (i.e. partially eaten by something), you can Harvest it by hand as it's already been cut open essentially.

If the Carcass has been partly harvested using a Tool, it's then "cut open" as well and can be harvested by hand afterwards.

You just can't tear animals apart by hand anymore. Any cutting tool will do the trick -- Knife, Hatchet, Hacksaw, and the improvised versions of Knives and Hatchets. After cutting a bit, feel free to tear away if you like. Hope that helps clarify.

Just a question for further clarification - Does "ravaged" include fresh kills by wolves when the wolf has been scared off the carcass by the player (which are not visibly ravaged or cut open)?

Yeeeeeesssssss! I feel like I’ve been waiting forever! I’m going to immediately resume my realistic run, I was waiting since September for this! It looks so awesome! Thank you!

An anti-bug report. I don't know if this is intentional, but TLD now loads WAY faster on my system than it ever has (playing via Stem natively on Linux). Thanks, @Admin!

New animations for harvesting Carcasses have been added. Note that Fresh or Frozen kills will now need to be initially dressed with an appropriate Tool. No more bare-handed Harvesting of newly killed animals.

 

I think it's a big mistake to remove bare-handed harvesting of newly killed animals especially rabbits, where it would be so easy to quickly remove the hide and guts without the need for a knife or other tools.  I can see the point behind not being able to butcher a frozen animal without the appropriate tools, but anything freshly killed should have the option of bare-handed harvesting since the kill has not yet begun freezing.  At the very least minimize what can be harvested, just like smashing a can open doesn't destroy all the contents, but merely diminishes what can be eaten.  I think in the same way, the amount of meat could be limited and the player not be able to recover the guts or hide.  This would be a much better work around in my opinion while keeping the game immersive.

Bare-handed harvesting can still be done, but the carcass must first be dressed by way of a cutting tool. Or... wolf teeth.

I'm assuming this then also includes the fresh wolf kills and not just the prop ravaged deer.

HL - I'd still love an option to enable knives and hatchets separately in custom while keeping the baseline resources setting at low  - maybe in the update to the custom menu mentioned in the trailer?  (I'm really looking forward to that update - thanks sincerely for giving custom some love!)

Yeah, it would be cool to make rabbits a special case and give them a realistic animation. You can look it up on YouTube with "rabbit skinning". If you destroy the fur it just takes a few seconds, but even when taking care to preserve it it can be done without tools.

Well, I thought I remembered you saying that you wanted to express yourself.

Something I just thought of: toxin build up should be a lot faster when you don't wear any shoes. Not sure if it is that way. Otherwise there is the same strange incentive as with walking through water. To protect your shoes, it's better to go barefoot than wearing shoes.

From the makers of Scurvy comes the next affliction in the game: "These gosh darn nails, man"

[rush247]

So I have to restart in order for Vitamin C and/or Scurvy to work?  Is that really intentional?  If so I guess there goes my current 630+ day run. 😩

So today a long awaited Diablo 4 update was released and The Contanimation Zone in TLD... I haven't played the new D4 update yet

But I've spend the past 5 hours exploring the new region on pilgrim and I still haven't seen all of it (I'm missing at least one key). What a fantastic region, I can't wait to enter it on my Stalker run and continue the tales, I wonder what else I might discover.

Thank you for this update, I love it!

Anyone else play the "Play Anywhere" version on PC?  I'm stuck at the disclaimer screen "Loading".   Uninstalled and reinstalled without DLC and the game works fine.  Try to add DLC and get stuck at disclaimer.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

[hozz1235]

Don't drop down in this corner, you'll get stuck.  Submitted bug report.

My save loaded surprisingly fast! 
Frame rate is holding steady at about 60 fps... 

Gloves on... check!

Weather's getting a bit threatening though... still have to be careful.  

[chrislacruz]

I have just seen a glorious gig in London (music from the Wicker Man played live) and as I sat on my seat in the train at King’s Cross, I thought I’d check to see if there was news..

This looks glorious! Can’t wait to get stuck in tomorrow,  and huge congrats to all at Hinterland, have a great Christmas break.

What a great night!

Quick question;

Are insulated flasks available in interloper difficulty?

Thanks

[rbos]

I picked up a respirator in my (~550d old) Interloper game, but it's fully ruined and unusable.

Well, that's going to be a problem if they're all like that.

[ManicManiac]

Okay, I just heard a bit of unfamiliar and rather foreboding music begin to swell... for a second, I was really on edge thinking something might have been stalking me.  I looked around in every direction... even looked up in the trees.  

Let me just say the new music is absolutely fantastic.
