well there are some very talented individuals collabarting with Hinterland on the UGC team so I am sure that we will see some outstanding content coming out of this project in the near future. and although my skill set is weak when it comes to acutally developing a mod, I hope that I can contribute somehow because of my love for the game.

i hope you just sat down, so I can find your cold lifeless body later and add an entry to the thread, "The Sitting Dead." at least now I know the story of how the corpse got there!

Yeah, I wish I could turn off survivor monologue in the regular game. I don't know what's going on but I'm playing Stalker and currently find myself in Blackrock, only being slightly overencumbered and all I hear is the constant nagging and complaining about how heavy the pack is. I mean practically non-stop. I must heard Astrid say the pack was to heavy and she can't possible go on like this 15 times in the space of 20 minutes! ...I finally yelled STFU at my computer and scared the hell outta my dogs...

couple of handy little mods called "place anywhere" and "better stacking" they truly enhance the object handling system allowing the player/user to maniuplate objects in the game environment so long as there is a surface to attach the object to. It took roughly 100 pieces of wood to adequately cover the hole in the roof. It took a little more than 10 days in game to gather all the "firewood" and place each piece one at a time to create the layering necessary to close up the gaping hole. hanging the sleeping bags in the door took merely took a few minutes. it is so nice and cosy in there now! I hope google translate did this correctly! пара удобных маленьких модов, называемых «место где угодно» и «лучшая укладка» они действительно улучшают систему обработки объектов, позволяя игроку / пользователю манипулировать объектами в игровой среде, пока есть поверхность, к которой можно прикрепить объект. Потребовалось примерно 100 кусков дерева, чтобы надежно закрыть дыру в крыше. В игре потребовалось чуть больше 10 дней, чтобы собрать все «дрова» и разместить каждую часть по одному, чтобы создать слои, необходимые для закрытия зияющей дыры. подвешивание спальных мешков к двери заняло всего несколько минут. там сейчас так красиво и уютно!

@Semple Fi, yes good point, I was carrying a boat load of crap and my sprint speed was strictly curtailed. I probably could have saved myself some unnecessary angst if I had merely off loaded some of my excess gear in the handy storage lockers provided at the elevator shaft. *note to self, reducing loadout increases sprint speed and survivability...*

well, it's almost impossible for me to tell you where the prepper cache is in PV as it is randomly spawning in one of 8 possible locations. However, from what I understand, the bunker in Blackrock appears to be static so I do believe it's location should be the same for everyone. So check out the west side of the map that little square is the between the two caves, the car and trailer is the prepper's cache I don't a screenshot of PV's map in my pics folder, but if you go on Google images, you can find a couple of decent maps that have the bunker areas marked. It's an awful lot of territory to cover so I'm not sure if it's worth the effort but that is up to you to decide. On a side note, doesn't the static bunker at the transition zone between PV and TWM have some coffee in it usually?

ok, I like where you're going with that. Mods as side quests and challenges is something I hadn't considered. I like the idea a lot more now that you've elaborated on the idea. thanks!

@Glflegolas outstanding journey so far! How many days survived without sleep thus far? I found the prepper's cache and it was the food cache, so coffee was there! lmk if you wanna know location, I got it cleared on my map so I can provide you with a screenshot if you want the assistance.

I looked all over for that gas shut off valve and not to be found. I ended up sprinting thru the toxic gas and just barely made it with two seconds to spare. At least in storymode if I woulda died I could at least reload from the last save. So being faced with permadeath in survival mode, makes me wonder if there even is a gas valve shutoff? But once you make it thru, no need to go back in ever again, so I guess it is an all or nothing proposition.

Actually the library challenge was pioneered by a player named @Screenshot Pilgrim and the object was to gather all the books on the island and bring them to one central location and organize them. It was extremely difficult as anytime you picked up more than one book, they changed into the same cover. so if you picked up a book that had one cover design on it and say was an open book and you combined it with another book with a different cover design that was closed, the result was that both books cover changed to something completely different, both now looking the same and closed. so you can imagine how many trips it would take even if you were just staying on the same map. being able to only carry one book at a time was frustrating.

My I please have a few extra clothing and equipment slots in order to accomodate my gear? It would be nice to wear a balaclava, a hat and a scarf. It just makes sense that you should be able to do all three. since a scraf covers the neck, it would make more sense to just have another slot for that type of clothing. if possible I'd also want to see the earmuffs moved to the clothing side, especially now with new ballistic vest, equipment slots are scarce for carrying gear like the moose satchel, crampons and ear muffs. Technically speaking, I should be able to wear all those items simultaneously since the moose satchel is a carry bag, the crampons go on the feet over the boots and vest is worn either under or over the coat. I wouldn't mind taking a weight penalty for putting all that stuff on, but I think it does make sense that I should be able to. I think it would add a little realism and make the game just a little more immersive.

You should put that on the mod wish list! There's already one clothing mod available now called Norfolk clothing and you it features all sorts of items, like bearskin leggings and wolfskin boots. Very clever and stylish. I bet making a rabbitpelt scarf would be a cinch for the UGC workshop

I found the food cache as well. I'm playing a saved game, so I wonder if the default mode is food prepper each time?

my new lair up in Blackrock finally finished a litte roof repair, at least now it won't snow inside anymore made a little curtain door outta a couple of old sleeping bags, still a little breezy but helps keep the wind out stockings all mended and hung up with care hoping that St. Nick soon will be there...

Look what I find the next day lol, not sure what's going on with those rabbits, tracks all around and wolf carcass looked a little gnawed upon...

lol, I sneezed when I was aiming my last arrow and ended up jiggling my mouse. It amused me as well, so I just left it that way. glad you found it amusing as well!

I do belive that was a "fan art" painting. I think if you look thru the older fan art threads you will find it. there were a number of other "spring time" scenes that were done by the same person.

quackquackquackquack.... QUAAK!!! OHMYQUACKKKKK....

look for the prepper's cache, there is always a tin of coffee in the bunker in ML

I guess so! seems we're talking about them and some are posting links to the discord server, so I think it should be okay. Now I'm curious what you have to share. Knowing it's coming from you, it's probably some damn good stuff! Spill the beans my good man!

and wasn't it just a grand battle? I once took out the moose in PV near pensive pond but it took me 7 flares to bring him down. One went right into his left eye, the resulting image of that buring flare looked like the beast had just been unleashed from the portals of Hell. Comical and horrifying all at the same time.

who's harrassing who now??? I heard the squeal of the rabbit as the mighty timberwolf sunk it's fangs into its soft and quivering flesh I pulled out my trusty 6 shooter and slowly approach ready for action the wolf's eyes narrow as he sizes me up, dismisses me as not a threat and continues to hungerly gooble his meal I didn't like his attitude so I let him have, point blank range, right between the eyes! I moved to his other side and popped another round into his side that had no effect so I switched to the bow slowly taking aim, I pulled back the drawstring twang! right in the neck he scoffed at the mere pinprick, so I emptied my quiver He remained unfazed and continued to greedily gooble up his dinner, occassionaly coming up for air and seeming to check on what i was doing with a growl and a grin he continued to tear into his dinner... I thought to myself, Flip You... It's about to get hot! With a pop and a sizzle, my incendiary missle leapt across the few scant feet separating us and struck his side the brightness of the flare hurt my eyes and the fetid smell of the wolfs buring hair filled my nostrils I retrieved my arrows and harvested the wolf and the rabbit rumor has it the ghost of the wolf still chomps and slurps his dinner to this day

considering where you now find yourself, it seems maybe you outta hoof it to the power station and take the steam tunnels up to the prison. i figured the warden was a coffee drinker, but when I checked his office I found a cup of herbal tea in the microwave... i did find some coffee later, but now can't remember if it was in the guard shack by the gate or up in the guard tower, could have been in the breakroom though too.

1400 days! That is an impressive amount of time in one save game! Big question, what do you do to keep yourself occupied? I would think up to this point you must have explored most of the island, of course now you get to check out a new region so the game is automatically fresh. That being said how do you pass time when you have a meat supply 4X older than most players total days in game?

hey I'm totally down with that! That would be a fun idea. A while back I made a post called "what's cooking in your 2 liter pot" and got some fairly clever dishes from some of the players. why dont you get a thread started? your "build a house anywhere" thread has gotten over 1.2k in views so I think you'll get good results? Maybe now's a good time maybe to get something like that going again. I think you should stipulate that receipes can be made from ingredients found in the vanilla game. No using food mods since not everyone would be able to participate. Just in time for Holidays, The Great Bear Island Survivors Cook Book for Gourment Dining!
