  1. Yes to watches, no to durability. They should have same parameters as magnifying glass(rare and indestructible). On the downside, if player forgets to wind it up, then hes in trouble. Could be even several types of watches. Simple ones, advanced ones(with various other stuff, like barometer included) and expensive variations of those two, making their spring lasting longer before it needs winding up.
  2. Cabin Fever is a feature that creates numerous completely absurd problems and scenarios without adding anything of value to the game. Original issue of amassing huge amounts of days by hibernating could have been solved by simply changing way how those scores are being calculated.
  3. Custom markers and notes, in various forms and shapes. Also, in terms of "loading own maps". If would be nice to have option to load custom jpegs for each region, Once upon a time, when i was playing UO, there was an automap program, where player was supposed to input his coordinates(on first run), as program did not automatically acquire them(after that tracking worked, but first location input needed to be manual to pinpoint player initial location in game world). Same could be done in tLD. Load custom map, get your coordinates from debug screenshot(F8), input them into program and it adjusts player position to map, as long as map coordinate system is compatible with default settings, eg every X cm on map equal to X (k)m on map. Maybe im overcomplicating things.
  4. Great program. I have no intention in using it, as i already use whiteberry maps and are quite familiar with terrain. It provides me with exactly perfect level of immersion. But i see no problems with other people using it. After all, there is still no compass in the game, so id say its justified shortcut.
  5. You do understand that humans are not the only ones who can carry seeds over to different areas ? Birds, currents, animals, winds has been doing that long be4 rise of humanity. All over the world across oceans. Also, approximately 0.4% of Antarctica is ice free. Considering size of the continent its a bit over half a million square kilometers. Its almost the size of a friggin France. True. Except that majority of trees have trouble of surviving temperatures below -40C. All that fancy antifreeze will get them only so far. Plus, as any living organism, trees are unable to instadapt to extreme condition fluctuations. It takes time, something that they didnt have in tLD. huh ! "Winter has long been king for the simple reason that, historically, that’s when people had time for logging. A century ago, farmers and hired hands headed for the woods to make some extra money in the off-season." Taken from your own sources.
  6. I know enough about plants for that matter. Really, its about isolation in Antarctica ? Any actual proof available... or are you just talking out of your ass ? Also Antarctica is not all snow and ice, from same category of claims. Trees do not freeze solid under normal conditions, but when temperatures fluctuate greatly, outside of normal parameters, then trees, as any organism will have trouble adapting. And it has been hinted that weather conditions following Event are unusual, more extreme than normal. Winter has been used for logging because during other seasons people were busy with other things, that you cant do during winter, not because its the most favorable for such activities. Also, any1 who claims that this or that discussion is pointless, is a moron. Truth is born in argument. That how you refine ideas, by discussing them.
  7. Again with this argument, and i prefer to wash my hands be4 handling any food. Its not really that hard.
  8. Come back again and youl find ME, who will beat the shit out of you demanding all his stuff back. 8)
  9. He probably means leather, not hides. And loot is largely based on rng and game difficulty. You may get lucky or you may get just some junk. I rather commonly run into safes(and there is like 3 or 4 of them in whole game) that have like 1 flare in them. On Stalker 3 out of 4 containers are empty.
  10. Never seen animals returning to same path after being injured. They can run on the other side of the map, given right conditions and then hang out there. Had more that enough wounded wolves lost and then corpses accidentally found, when i was already on a different task. Altho sometimes their behavior is rather erratic, so they run back and forth in same area, which is extremely weird. But they never go back to where they started. I once wounded a bear on one side of DP, who then run around like crazy for good 15 minutes, till he calmed down on the opposite side of the map.
  11. Making boards, even with saw, would be an extremely slow and complicated process. Without proper tools its extremely hard.

    Sitting

    More doesnt equal to be better by a mile. Piling together a huge pile of various idea and features does not guarantee success of the game, as has been proven many many many times. Proper balancing and interactivity is what makes great game(among other things). Fallout 4 has ability to sit like friggin everywhere(not to mention being a pile of various completely random features), that annoyed me greatly; didnt really contribute to game quality, it being total and utter garbage, worse Fallout game by a mile, even compared to BoS, that has been considered worse Fallout game(but not bad in its own right) for years. So, question is not if it can be added, but what exactly does it bring into the game and is it a positive or negative change.

    Sitting

    Sry, but recorder and polaroid would be friend in the event.

    Sitting

    What were you wearing, what was outdoor temperature and snow is not the same thing as stone floor.

    Sitting

    A few degrees ? Sitting down on a cold stone floor will render your ass frozen in matter of minutes.

    Sitting

    Why i could see sitting added i fail to see why it should be added. Its one of those features that have no point at all, like adding polka dancing or whistling. Feature without any practical implementation.
  17. Trees ARE rocksolid. And they ARE completely frozen thru. There is a reason why there is no trees in Antarctica and one of those is extremely cold weather. With constant temperatures dropping pretty much every night below -40 in game, they will freeze thru in matter of days. There is no circulation of nutrients under those conditions. Even if winter were to end, most of the forest would end up dead. Youd have greater chance to fall a tree if you go at it with a big bat, instead of an axe. While they are solid, they are also fragile and you may have better chance at breaking it, rather than cutting it down. Even if you will fall a tree, then you need a saw(that we dont have) to cut it(pls dont even joke about using a hatchet/axe). And it would take quite a lot of calories and time even with warmer weather. Since most trees were/alive alive prior to incident youd have to dry them for a month be4 youd be able to use them without dying from co2 poisoning. Best bet would be going for dead trees, since they had no circulation in them to begin with, plus cold will do rather good job at breaking them, plus they wont require as much time to dry. Altho we again run into "no saw" problem. As with many aspects of game, most people completely discard effect that extreme cold has on various objects and view the issue from the standpoint of just low(but not extremely low) temperatures.
  18. Considering abundance of respawnable wood i dont really see why cutting down trees is needed. Not to mention that that it would simply be a waste of time and energy. Those trees and frozen solid, so cutting it down would be quite a feat, especially with hatchet(they are rocksolid). Then you have to cut/saw it somehow into logs, then you have to transport and dry that wood. Player would spend a week to deal with just one tree... only dealing with that tree, putting everything else on hold.
  19. Id like more weapons. Right now whole armory is limited to 3 of them and having 7 rifles in storage feels kinda weird. There should be some script in place that replaces excessive rifles(that spawned but havent been found yet) with something of use, like maintenance kits or ammo, depending on how many rifles player already found, their condition and amount of ammo. Fighting off wolves at the moment is way 2 easy. I actually use them as main source of meat. Simply by knifing them. And pls dont compare TLD to that piece of garbage, a disgrace to the series, that is Fallout 4.
