If they did, you could just sit on that porch and take pot shots at them all day.

Not if they only came while you slept.

I've been wondering for a while, don't wolves and bears eat the food you leave you?

No. And if they did, I hope the wolves wouldn't eat the wolf meat and the bears wouldn't eat the bear meat.

100kg of meat. My record. Nine more of these and I'll have a ton of meat.

Soon after, three wolves were kind enough to show up so now there is 110kg in the pile.

I get that you want to force exploration, but you should be able survive in one area longer than your matches or firestriker let you if you ask me.

Nothing against the idea of alternate fire starting devices but what about using the magnifying glass.

Also check these stats out - 200 days in Interloper with 35 fires.

Holy crap. 8AM temp today is -1°F !!!

Funny how some of them look really friendly and others like pure evil.

And I really don't know why playing this game helps me cope with the frigid f-----g cold!

Lol. So have you been going to that timber wolf place at all? Love to have the link for those web cams again.

Here in Minnesota, winter is really coming.

Sounds like bliss to me. Hot and sticky here. Don't know why but playing this game helps me cope with the heat.

So.... did you eat it?  Might not get another chance.

Yep, damn tasty too. Just try not to walk on any one-armed corpses you find lying around.

How the hell have you been?

I could eat anything right about now..

@mystifeid Preparing for a thesis defence tends to do that to you  

On the bright side, I'm Dr. cekivi now and finally have some spare time again! Yay!!!

I'm looking forward to finally getting into story mode next week once the last of my thesis edits are done. 

Likewise, congratulations. It's been a while so forgive me if I'm wrong but you're an organic chemist - right? With a bad habit of raiding popcorn stands in movie theaters looking for precursors for your experiments. So what's it going to be - a job in academia or out into the real world?

Holy mackerel @cekivi, I thought you'd disappeared.

Please feel free to talk about creative roots and influences as much as you like. Even Mad Max which I have to admit, when it (and the sequels) were first released, I viewed as a mixture of fantasy and gratuitous violence rather than post apocalyptic science fiction.

A very young Max did start driving a predominantly yellow (plus red/white/blue) Ford and you can find the supposed timeline, triggers for events and reasons for the apocalypse here.

The Challenger and Chernobyl disasters did occur in the same year - in January and April of 1986 respectively.

Finally it has been much too long since I read "On the Beach" to offer comment except to say that the premise is as fanciful as it is depressing and that I have no memory of Neville Shute being any sort of a literary giant. The movie (from 1959) is black and white, and Shute reportedly eventually distanced himself from the production because of the number of discrepancies between the book and the film. In the beginning the film acknowledges the help of the H.M.A.S. Melbourne and it is seen in the movie. This ship never fired a shot in anger but has the distinction of sinking two friendly warships in separate peacetime collisions, killing a total of 156 personnel. The last of the compensation claims from the first collision was finally closed forty-five years after the incident.

I haven't the faintest idea what any of that means. I may need to get an Aussie to English translation

Sandgroper is a nickname for someone who lives in the state of Western Australia.

The mod turns cedar firewood into Jarrah.

Jarrrah is a tree from Western Australia which would be more widely used if there were more of it. You can build most of a house out of it but when it is seasoned it gets very very hard. There's a lot of old bridges made with Jarrah beams and these are quite sought after when these bridges are replaced.

Anyway sandgropers, carpenters and cabinet makers would probably be the most likely people to be talking about Jarrah. Especially sandgropers.

Awesome!  I'm starting up a fresh game with the Old Bear this way

Hope you're not too disappointed.

Having difficulty to find an animal in Mystery Lake. The global temperature dramatically decreased, i.e. max I feel like -8 with 2 deerskin pants, a rabbitskin mittens, and 2 wolfskin coats. It's becoming worse day by day. I have a magnifying glass but it is almost impossible to catch a sunny day now.

Try going into the Ravine - there are three deer there and no wolves. You can kill and harvest the deer and take everything back to ML. There are also caves there.

Only -8C ? Sounds warm to me. Don't go to Pleasant Valley.

To catch the sun, try being up when the sun comes up every morning

I want to play in Aussie Slang! how do I do that?

Do you have TLD on Steam? If so, look in TLD Steam Workshop and find the Aussie Slang mod or find TLD in your library and click on it - the last three mods should be on this page and at the moment Aussie Slang is one of them (click on it).

Then click the subscribe button. After you have subscribed the mod will download. Start TLD and from the main menu -> Options -> Display -> Language -> Aussie. Then restart the game.

You will know that you have been successful if you see the rather wordy black and white startup screen reduced to "Alright guys this is an Alpha so don't fucking complain"

Imho it could be better but it's early days yet so I'll give the guy a chance. He sounds like a sandgroper to me. Playing with Jarrah firewood is just as alien to me as playing with Cedar.

Nice to be able to play in my native language at last
