Yeah, I tried holding up a bear pelt up to the roof from the inside once many years ago trying to use the curing in place glitch and the attempt proved futile. I did however use it pretty extensively hanging hides on the walls throughout my various base camps! Love the fact you have fleshed this glitch out and aired it here! Now, please figure out another way to use a frying pan to create a makeshift bridge at the cannery in Bleak Inlet!

I do love the mountaineer's hut as one of my favorite bases and also love using exploits like this to accomplish tasks in the game that are otherwise impossible to complete without the use of mods! quick shout out to @ajb1978 for having introduced me to the "curing in place" glitch so many years ago!

now there's a player name I haven't seen on the forums for quite some time! glad to see you back, been a while for sure!

ya know, that's all we need from y'all ever so often. just a little stage presence every so often does so much to keep player morale boosted. Thanks for gracing the forums!

yeah, it was cute

Op said, I guess water right after melting should privide a bit of warmth for a reduce period of time. which technically wouldn't be possible as the snow just has melted and would not yet be boiled. So no, since the player can use the water purification pills when the water has melted, but has not yet boiled. anyway...

I believe I can spawn it in using the dev console. Haven't tried it recently but I think it should work. Gonna have to check it out the next time I play!

Well said! Exactly that. It's just basic science. At the point the last of the snow melts, we are only half there in the "cooking" cycle before the water reaches boiling temperatures and is considered hot. The player can stop the "cooking" cycle at the point the snow has melted into water and treat said liquid with water purification tablets. The water is then potable but is certainly not hot and most definitely not warm.

...not really. At the point the last of snow melts into water, the whole batch is merely around 1/2 C or 33/34F definitely not warm. liquid yes, but not "warm."

...nah, there are some mods that just make this game 100% better that don't change any of the games difficulties or detract from the survival mechanics of the game play. I would have quit playing this game a long time ago if it hadn't been for mods like "Place Anywhere," which vastly improved the archaic items handling mechanic allowing the player to place items where they wish instead of just dropping items in a pile on the ground. But the nice part of this game, is that you can play it how you want to play it. So if playing with no mods is your cup of tea, then cool. Play it the way you wanna play it.

HRV's sitting dead continue to surprise me when I find them. This poor chap doesn't appear to be anywhere ready to survive the rugged climes of this region. I suspect he may be the unfortunate survivor of one of the plane crashes that I've stumbled onto recently. He looks ill equipped to have otherwise found himself here in this predicament. My suspicions seem to be confirmed when I turned out his pockets and found all he had was a metal shard that he was using as a knife and a stale package of beef jerky. The one thing however that he yielded that made my day was a recipe card for Stalker's Pie. Looks like the card comes with live ingredients roaming nearby. Just barely managed to avoid a bear that was close by as I made a hasty retreat!

if you are tired of waiting for dev team to jump on some of these suggestions, then look to the TLD modding community. I've been opening doors all the way since this gem materialized - FullSwing v1.0.0 by Digitalzombie Adds options to modify swing speed and radius of fridge doors

Hushed River Valley Day 3 into my exploration of this backwoods wilderness and I stumbled upon this frozen corpse. Hard to tell what the causes for death were, but it looks like he froze to death whilst hunting or evading the wolves that patrol this region. There was nearby firewood, an empty tin can was strewn about as well as a hunting rifle with 3 rounds laying on the ground. I dunno what he was trying to do, maybe clear a jammed bullet in this rifle, or perhaps reloading. Either way, he died where he sat with this rifle at his feet. I liberated him of a pretty tattered sports vest and his boots had seen plenty of mileage considering their worn condition. As I turned out his pockets, I found a can of Summit Soda and a new package of beef jerky. Considering I only found a single crows feather, it seemed that he hadn't been here for too long. RIP random hunter.

Another sad story and awful way to die in The Long Dark. Imagine you're have a great day, your goal is in sight, just a few more hours and you will find the comforts of home but then this happens. Suddenly without warning you break thru a crevasse in the snow and plunge to your death into a dimly lit cavern. Obviously they were killed on impact, but either way another senseless way to die on GBI!

I found this guy recently in Broken Railroad as I returned from the toxicity of the mining complex. Seems he was here to catch some ptarmigan, or at least watch them. He didn't seem prepared for the task as he was without weapons or stones, but at least he had a can of orange soda and some beef jerky when I turned out his pockets. The nearby ptarmigan weren't disturbed by his presence but seeing me caused a couple of them to flee and their ruckus alerted the wolves patrolling the maintenance yard down below to my presence. Good thing I found a brand-new sport bow back down in the zone of contamination...
