  1. do you have to have the 50 stones to see the icon, or have I been looking in the wrong place the whole time?
  2. Again good sir, that is why you are the Master and I your Padawan.
  3. I need a how to lesson on building one of these things. I haven't built one yet and maybe I just forgot to turn something on, but isn't there supposed to be an icon or something in the radial menu to build it. Is there a setting I forgot to switch, like autowalk? I really think this might come in handy this time around playing the new update. Please and thank you!
  4. does seem a little to quite... do you think that is intentional so that food isnt just throwing itself at our feet?
  5. Sometimes things just dont go like you expect them too.... Sometimes your results exceed your expectations...
  6. Damn, it's cold in this game and those chips are freaking salty... I spend half my day gathering firewood, the other half recovering from hypothermia... At least I have two 2 liter pots already so I'm keeping pace with the need for potable water. looks like the dev's prepped for this so I've found a shload of water purification tablets already!
  7. gotta love the way the sunshine cuts thru the dust and vapor in the air... almost like you can reach out and touch it. so what does that look like in 4K?
  8. yeah, he starts bitching just as soon as it gets .10 kilos over! what a wimp...
  9. Lol, your player name reminds me of the other survival game title, THE FOREST. In that game you crash land too, and you have to take on a group of mutant cannibals... Well, the bright side, if I'm not alone, then at least I have most of their arrows now!
  10. Damn, Jimmy! I love what you've prepared here! So looking forward to dining at your table! I am taking off my crown and crowning you as the new Frozen Gourmet! I would have never thought of using beef jerky in that way, simply genius.
  11. probably a good thing you didnt have to cook a bear just after cooking an entire moose! 😉 Cabin fever for sure then! lol buy hey, just as an fyi, if I remember correctly, there's something about shooting the bear and then immediately entering an "interior" cell that somehow negates the effect of your shot and he lives to see another day. Not really sure if that is correct or not, but I've been led to believe that usually the bear bleeds out from a single wound over time otherwise. maybe somebody reading these post can clarify on that?
  12. Congratulations! That satchel is game changer. Don't let anyone tell you that being able to carry an extra 5 kilos isn't worth the effort! Where you gonna cook all that meat?
  13. Interesting enough, I pulled 27 intact shafts and 1 broken one from the carcass. It got me to thinking, though, since all the updates that placed the lost and found boxes in the regions, could this have been the return of every lost arrow? I checked my stats to see if there was any correlation between bear kills and the number of arrows found and it may be possible that I just got back all the arrows I had "lost" during gameplay since I had launched this particular character. I'm over 800 days on this character and have 39 bear kills recorded. I know for certain that I've killed a dozen bears using firearms only and the rest were with a bow. 39 - 12 = 27 hmmm.... (brain explodes) 🐻
  14. gotta love that level 5 crouching archery perk! I usually arm my self and crouch before leaving a building just in case of patrolling wolves. in this case he had just walked by the door and didn't hear me or see me as I was leaving the building. It was an almost point blank shot and he just plopped over instantly!
  15. I'm camping out in the cabin just above the fishing village on CH, when I inventory my supplies and I notice I'm getting low on provisions, so I decided I may as well go after some game. I leave the cabin and start the morning looking for and it doesn't take long that I spot him. The bear hasn't noticed me, so I take the opportunity to seek higher ground. I quickly clamber my way up a nice outcropping of rocks, crouch and mountain goat my way over the side, presenting myself with a clear shot! I can hear him huffing and puffing as he slowly trundles his way towards me, not noticing that I'm perched on the side of this rock with a clear shot. (look at that snort of breath) I let fly and POW! He doesn't even bother to retaliate, rather he tucks his little tail and scoots off like a frightened rabbit. As he flees, I shoot another arrow and watch and it strikes him again, but before I could nock another arrow, the bear bolts over the ridge and out of sight. It takes me a while to work myself down the rock face, sustaining a little damage in the process and warily begin to follow the quickly disappearing blood trail. Imaging my surprise when I cross over the ridge and find this... so if your wondering where your arrow went, I think I found it...
  16. I think a lot of folks got the game early during early development and just never played it. I personally gifted both of my nephews the game on Steam and only one of them even gave it a go and he gave up playing with in hours saying it was too hard and boring... I got my copy in August of 2015 and I can honestly say that I was just waiting til Fallout 4 released, I didn't play TLD for almost 6 months after that. There's probably more to it as well, I'm not sure that Steam stats are all that accurate either.
  17. @LkP you are correct, list found may not be up to date... At the very least this list will put a player in close proximity to the prize, right? Appreciate your fine tuning the details. thanks for contributing!
  18. sorry to bother y'all, but after I did a little more digging, I came across this list of known moose spawn points. So from what I understand, Look for the tree rubs where possible. If they are present, one will eventually spawn, but don’t camp the area. Ensure you are entering an region (or leaving the region) and come back to check. If you setup camp right where the Moose should spawn, you’re unlikely to ever see it. If you do see one, take it down because it could vanish at any point and not return for days. So I just wanted to share what I found... Mystery Lake Trapper’s Homestead Cabin (North of Unnamed Pond) – Tree Rubs Train Loading Area River (Northern Access) Mountain Town Milton Basin – Tree Rubs St. Christopher’s Church (Pond to the East) Broken Railroad Hunting Lodge – Tree Rubs Hunter’s Blind (Northeast) – Tree Rubs Forlorn Muskeg Pond (Northeast Corner of Map) – Tree Rubs Muskeg Overlook (To the South) – Tree Rubs Marsh Ridge – Tree Rub Coastal Highway Coastal Townsite Desolation Point Stone Church – Tree Rubs Matt’s Truck Hibernia Processing Timberwolf Mountain Wing (East of Crystal Lake) – Tree Rubs Landing Gear – Tree Rubs Pleasant Valley Lonely Homestead – Tree Rubs Pensive Pond Hushed River Valley Monolith Lake – Tree Rubs Moose Overlook (West) – Tree Rubs Bleak Inlet Hunter’s Blind (Northern) Washed Out Trailers (Northern)
  19. @ManicManiac, nope, just looking to hang a moose hide from the wall of my base camp. and I am getting hungry for something else besides the usual fare of bear meat, wolf and venison. I've managed to harvested two moose in my current walk through and have retrieved the satchel in HRV. I've fabricated my moose cloak and satchel and have long since eaten the meat from those two and only kills. given the moose migration and spawn mechanics as you've explained them, If moose meat were the only option to long term survival, I'd have been dead long time ago, lol!
