Ambient Lights v2.8.1 by Xpazeman

Better Bases v1.1.0 by Xpazeman

TLD-Morphine v1.3 by Atlas Lumi, Thekillergreece 
Adds Morphine as a usable item

there are a few more, but not that you can see them in these screenshots so I haven't included them in this list.  

It all started with discovering the dual king freight liner that was abandoned just on the other side of the collapsed tunnel leading into Mountain Town.  It was a heck of a wreck considering it was the last shipment of supplies heading into the area.

I managed to haul an assortment of goods out of there and have slowly begun to stock the stores shelves in the ole Orca Gas station.

Stepping in the first thing you might notice is all these brand new batteries.  We got the power!

Our counters are slowly filling up with all your favorite items.  From flour to long grain rice and cups of noodles, we got crackers and cornflakes too!

Our ready to eat section features some fresh soups, stews and flatbreads.  Sorry about the microwave though, it only works under certain conditions...

The truck was carrying the latest in home gardening products, so if you've ever wanted to start that indoor greenhouse, come see us.  From soil to fertilizer
there's also a wide range of seeds available too.

Our snack wall may be meager for now, but at least we got a little variety.  Roasted almonds and crispy crab snack crackers go well with ketchup chips and 
beef jerky.  Still some unopened boxes of treats back in the truck so who knows what we'll have to offer in the upcoming weeks.

Like cold drinks?  We've got a tremendous variety to offer now.  From energy drinks to exotic sodas, and of course two different varieties of beer.
For you coffee lovers, check out our cold brewed lattes and specialty teas. 

Management has been keeping busy, getting up well before dawn each morning in order to prepare nourishing and delicious soups, stews and baked goods.
The ole farmhouse kitchen is busy round the clock, for a blind little ole lady, Grey Mother sure knows her way around the kitchen.

Brought to the store each morning, you can find everything from peach pies to pancakes, fishcakes and bread.
Be sure to try out the venison pies and ptarmigan tarts.  So delicious!

Canned goods and Cookware items.  Got your pots and pans, canned corn and ham!  Spaghetti, beef stew and little cans of jalapenos too!
Pineapple, Mangos and Pears.  Oh my!

There's even a hardware and camping section where you'll find an eclectic assortment of items.  From paddles to pistols and all the things you might need.

First aid supplies are in limited supply, but we do have both traditional medicines as well as homeopathic remedies.   Got insulin and morphine too!

In order to serve you better, there's even a bed where you can get a little rest!

Welcome Barter Town.  We don't take cash, so bring your bullets and bun wads!  Let's make a deal real soon!

I heard that there is a bug due to which you can shoot from a revolver through a car window, perhaps the bug has already been fixed, but it’s worth a try

too late now...  After he walked by, I got out of the truck and went inside the gas station. 
I'll give it a shot (pardon the pun) if I find myself in similar circumstances!

...please don't make me get out of this truck...

What is going on here?  Is Molly just going nuts?

A real who done it in Mountain Town

Molly's work or someone else?

@Smellyfries, I really like the feel of this mod.  It's overall very immersive from the perspective that all of the items appear and feel to be very lore worthy.  It's definitely something a survivor with a little ingenuity and access to tools could and would be able to cobble together.  I especially like the tents for camping out on the ice especially where no other shelters exist.  Can't really make a snow shelter out on the ice, am I right?  

Had a little extra time so I crafted this tarp tent that's part of this mods camping equipment.  I really like the concept, I just wish the color wasn't such a solid brand new looking color of blue.  The tarps we see and find in the game all look worn and slightly battered, I was hoping we'd get that here too.  I dunno, I'll stick with the bearskin tent for now.

Whilst it's sad that TLD could be finishing up possibly next year, I cannot wait to delve into the mods this game has to offer! Being able to turn a simple cave into a home is awesome!

 

Does the tent act as a wind barrier? Always wanted an alternative to the snow shelter when it comes to camping out in the open.

No, it does not appear that they do.  You can actually walk right through any of the items... but the tanning racks do allow the hides to cure even when placed outside.  
I dunno, I'll have to setup outside on the ice for the full experience.  The pieces do look so lore friendly though, just what the game needs to be that much more immersive imho.

Just discovered this fun and immersive mod - Camping Tools v2.2.0 by Jods-Its

Mod adds some makeshift tents and tanning racks covering wolf, deer, bear and moose hides.  The tent is the bearskin version although there is also blue tarp version.  The one thing missing is the fish rack.  I cobbled that together myself and it could use some improvement, yeah, I know.

Anyways you gotta craft the tents and tanning racks so you do need to collect the ingredients, hides and such.  You gotta kill four bears to make this bearskin tent but it so worth the effort.  The tent is pretty heavy too when you are carrying it in your inventory but ideal for use in remote places like HRV where I currently find myself.  Monolith Lake is about the remotes place I can think of right now in this game and this tent along with the updated ice fishing feature is quickly helping to make HRV one of my more favorite regions.

Curious if anyone else is playing with this mod and if so, what are your impressions?  

When you find that stocked bunker in HRV of all places.  Found the Hunter's revolver here!  Score!

waiting for chapter 5...

@J.W.P 
Impressive. Most impressive. But you have only begun to discover your power.  
I will complete your training and with our combined strength, we can end this geomagnetic event
and bring order back to this forsaken island.

Came to the cannery in BI to reload all that brass I've been collecting when I was alerted to this poor chap's predicament by the murder of crows cawing overhead.  The crows swooped and cawed above the lifeless body and scolded me with a raucous cacophony of caws as if to remind me, they had found him first.   I can only wonder how he came to die in this place.  I relieved him of his possessions.  The knife was sharp, and the sardines were surprisingly good.  As a tribute to his final resting place, I fired his remaining flare in his honor.  RIP traveler. 

Strange energy down in these bunkers.  I can now manage multiple objects, levitating all these plates is going to make cleaning this kitchen so much easier!

Found another victim of the event apocalypse when I reached the transmitter tower in Mountain Town.  Not sure what happened here but it appears this guy maybe had the same idea but didn't have any of the necessary resources to complete the task.  I dunno if out of desperation the used the knife on himself but when I picked it up, I noticed it was rusty and dull.  I turned out his pockets to find nothing.  This poor guy was definitely not prepared to survive the hardships dished out by the island.

I never thought that they were all flying the same night of the Event, I assumed it was aurora affects, but maybe you're right!

I could see a couple of aircraft crash sites due to factors like equipment failure or crashes due to bad weather, but given the sheer numbers of crashed aircraft now being found on the island, the only logical explanation is that these aircraft were all flying and were all simultaneously hit by the disaster of the event.  

I dunno, but the skies must have been full of aircraft the night of the event.  Just found this crash while heading up to repair the transmitter in the Muskeg.  A fair amount of loot left behind by the occupants.

Found this guy while venturing thru the Muskeg.  He was sitting propped up against this tree with no sign of foul play.  His revolver was loaded with three rounds only the remaining cylinders empty in his gun.  A box of cartridges lay next to it unopened.  As I turned out his pockets, I found a can of Stacy's grape soda and a dented can of sardines.   Hard to say what the cause of death was, as there were no marks on his body. 

I'd venture to guess that perhaps he had fallen thru the thin muskeg ice and after making his way to the safety of this ridge was able to make a fire.  It looks to me like he musta have dozed off as he was sitting there, no doubt hypothermia had set in and in his state of stupor he fell asleep as he was warming by the fire.  It musta been a particularly deep sleep, the kind where you're so tired you don't realize the fire has gone out and your slowly freezing to death.  I think he died in his sleep counting sheep...

Tower, this is Freedom Flight One

Ready for takeoff...

There you go!  The Yays have it!  Motion approved!  The players have spoken!  

Make it so dev team!

Well, maybe if more people asked for it then maybe they might just make it happen?  

So, is that a yay or nay on your part?

ptarmigan, tonight we feast!
