piddy3825 Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Just left Trapper's on my way to the Far Territories when I stumbled across this encampment. Looks like somebody has set up shop here? It appears the fabled trader has set up shop in the ole Poacher's Camp in Forlorn Muskeg! tanning racks and quarters bags Must have just killed a bear! looks like a great spot to rest Trader must eat petty well - dining al fresco Trader sure has quite the life, eh? Looks like the evening approaches let's go look inside checking out the front of the trading post stepping inside for the first time from the items on display, you can see the trader gets around looks like there's quite a little bit of everything what a tremendous assortment of items trader's got extra pillows under their bed some one of a kind munchies to be had I'd dare to say a pretty impressive amount of gear to be hauling around For all your hardware needs, rifles and pistols and lamps! Oh my! always time for a little bit of reading nothing better than a charcuterie table with a spectacular view now if I only could find the Trader... I got some caps I'd like to spend 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hinterland Raphael van Lierop Posted May 21 Hinterland Share Posted May 21 Nice! That must have been a LOT of work. Do you mind if we label this as Fan Art, to avoid confusion where people might see this and think it's the actual Trader coming in TALES? Thanks! (We can edit the thread title for you.) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, and yes, please label as such as I would hate to cause any issues because of my passion for this game. And again, thank you for taking the time out to notice. It took me quite a while to build this little encampment! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semple Fi Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 @piddy3825 How do you do all that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piddy3825 Posted May 21 Author Share Posted May 21 @Semple Fi well, besides obviously playing with some mods, but thanks to the mod Place Anywhere I was able to "stage" those items on the walls. The furniture mod DIY Furniture is also heavily featured with the shelves, tables and chairs and the hanging hooks. The hooks just are the right thing to make it look proper imho. Took me about 15 hours irl picking each item up and putting it somewhere. Definitely a labor of love! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManicManiac Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 @piddy3825 This must have truly been a labor of love. I mean, just the time it must have taken. All the details in the various layouts... well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePancakeLady Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 This is just really fun! Well done! I can't imagine spending all of that time to set everything up "just so", to make it look like a place that could be real in the game world. Absolutely impressive! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve thought of mods, but I’ve been hesitant to permanently alter the game Perhaps I just don’t know enough about mods Edited May 21 by Semple Fi Add 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Place Anywhere is one of the qol mods that simply improve on the existing underlying mechanics in the game. Having the ability to stack items or hang items on walls merely improve the aesthetics in the game and have no bearing whatsoever on the mechanics governing the game. Of course, the food items in the game are consumable, but in my games, I don't consume them, rather I display them. At this point, I myself, as are many other players, am patiently waiting for the rest of the intended enhancements to the game to be developed and implemented. So looking forward to finally getting the trader into the game, and more so for the implementation of the base customization dlc. The game sure has come a long way since the "curing in place" glitch was discovered by one of the players here so many years ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semple Fi Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 @piddy3825 No issues with crashing/extra glitches because of the Place Anywhere mod? or having to wipe and reinstall… You have a link to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, no issues with crashing. The mods themselves are incredibly stable. You can pretty much add and delete mods without any issues. The most noticeable thing for example would be that all the furniture that I've crafted like the shelves and chairs would disappear if I uninstalled the mod. As to the mod place anywhere, if I were to uninstall that now, the in-game items will still be where I place them. The only thing would be without the mod, I wouldn't be able to put some things back in place if I were to take them down. If you're interested in modding your game, you will need to download Melon Loader and update your pc's .net runtime as well as download and install the various mods. Super easy as matter of fact. Here are the links to everything you'll need - Releases · LavaGang/MelonLoader (github.com) Download .NET 6.0 (Linux, macOS, and Windows) (microsoft.com) The Long Dark - Mod List (xpazeman.com) If you've questions at modding your game, you can actually talk to the mod authors themselves on the TLD modding discord channel, here's the link to them as well - • Discord | #general | The Long Dark Modding Edited May 21 by piddy3825 spelling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peteloud Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 I like it, but my favourite is your restaurant in, (Good heavens, it is so long since I played the game I can't remember the name of the region, or is it old age), in the hunting lodge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello old friend! Been a while since you've graced these forums. Yeah, the old hunting lodge bistro in the Broken Railroad region. I wonder if those pics are still here somewhere. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sito Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 @piddy3825 The gun rack is from DIY right? I tried adding it and all of its dependencies but all it did was disable my ability to smash a crate. I could not see any additional craft menus so I must be missing something. I really want gun racks in my base instead of tossing my curators rifle on the floor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only downside to this mod, is that the items you craft cannot be broken down and the material salvaged. As to mod dependencies, be sure you have all the necessary support mods installed with the latest working updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad there is no explanation about it in the description. Hopefully the June update from HL won't break mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, even if it does, the modding community is pretty quick to get their work updated. on a side note, there is a troubleshooting thread on the TLD modding discord channel that reads the usage log generated by Melonloader each time the game is launched. You just cut and paste the log on the troubleshooting thread and the system will check the data for continuity and give you a list of missing or out of date dependencies.

peteloud Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 After seeing your trader's stall I decided to give TLD another try and play with the mods. It became a heluva hassle. I have so many different versions of TLD and hundreds of saves, spread over three computers and more hard disks and partitions that anyone would believe. Just finding the game with a save that ran was a problem. When I found a working pair, I added some mods and had a load more trouble. Yesterday I thought that I had cracked the problem. I went back to a pre-TFT version and ran it online from Steam. It worked great, Then I added Melon & 3 or 4 mods, incl. Place Anywhere. It didn't work 😬.

bladerunner900 Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 I applaud your efforts. It must have taken much effort and patience, to place so much stuff as you have. Especially with the unwanted attention of the locals perhaps? My own efforts are much more modest as I like to keep moving, but they do accumulate over time. Well done!
