@RossBondReturns @Leeanda I've just had confirmation from an experienced YouTube long dark player that old custom saves are bugged.

I just needed %100 confirmation. 

Hopefully they will fix this. 

I'll see if I have an old custom save to test on. And get back to you.

@RossBondReturns so the custom game you found them in was an old save? 

I've found them in stalker and on voyager no problems. 

 

But that's my point! I can't find them on my custom old save. I know what I'm looking for and where abouts they can be. 

 

So my question is how many people are not able to locate them on an old existing custom save? Because I sure can't. 

Nope new save. I started a New Custom and a New Stalker.

Both have had birds.

I haven't noticed any difference between my old run,fully togged out in good gear and the two runs I did with just starting gear...

The new run I started this morning I had nothing but what they gave me and I still nearly died on a short climb..  the only difference between those runs was I had no crampons in the new one.    

I did check in known issues and it's down on there as a bug..   

But confused as  to what you mean by sprint bar though...   I thought it was just a fatigue metre and a stamina metre. What's a sprint metre?

 

Stamina/Sprint same thing. But I've still found it to be true.

I've also climbed the rope to TWM summit with crampons and a full stamina/sprint bar...and made it to the top with room to spare. Not as much as it use to be but still made it.

I think it's a bug,along with the stamina bar going down very quickly.    I'm hoping it's a bug anyway or rope climbing is going to be very dangerous. Even the shortest climbs nearly killed me.

Rope climbing stamina is now based on how much sprint bar you have.

If you chance to simpler clothes you have a more open sprint bar and your stamina lasts longer.

So if this is the case they only spawn in new custom games?? 

Because like I said I don't even have the option of crafting the work bench bird items. 

 

I've found all the recipes except lily's pancakes and all the guns. Crafted all the fishing things and fished just fine. I just can't find those birds anywhere at all. 

 

There is something not right at all. 

No they spawn in both.

I am playing a Stalker run and a Custom run and have had our new feathered friends in both- they are just very hard to see.

Just now, past caring said:

The one with the rope climb down, that often has rabbits in the area too?

Yes.

They have also been reported to show up at the ML Bunker and in front of Camp Office...I will be checking out the Bunker tomorrow in my Custom Save.

Just curious ,but you're playing on pc aren't you?    I'm just thinking it's a possible console issue..

Yep, on PC.

Also I am playing in new sandboxes...haven't tested any old ones yet.

Where in ML?

 

I had them up near the Cave that overlooks the lake where the Revolver can often spawn.

I play in custom and have found Ptarmigan's in AC/TWM/PV and ML.

They can and do spawn in Custom...they are just very hard to see and quite rare.

Thanks for the mention conanjaguar!

For the record I've been devising challenges since 2017 and they can be found by looking through my TLD Blog-

The Long Dark Survivors

I'd rather have HTL spend their time completing the original TLD Episode 5 that we were promised and have paid for instead of spending their time developing a new product.

They are...half of the team is constantly working on Episode 5 while the other half works on Signal Void. They said this month and month ago when Signal Void was first announced.

That was the first place I found, although it doesn't appear to be there in my current ML start (unless I'm totally lost... walked around the hill the forest looking is one for ages and didn't spot it).

I think it's always there...it's under the Forestry Lookout.

Aren't you carrying too much then? like always near the load limit

Can be...but often I have the Tech Pack...well fed bonus and satchel...so with careful planning I'm more often than not underweight.

I'm nomadic...my Pack is my home.

If i do hunt...and am near a building I will stay there until hides cure if I have enough to make something.

Then I'm on the road again.

The loot is random...I found a battery at Signal Hill.

Yeah, that's what I meant when I said I couldn't find any in PV. Not just near the transmitter, but in the region as a whole. Checked the Farmstead, the Outbuildings, Thompson's Crossing, the abandoned bunker, the plane crash... nothing. Tempted to check in the connecting mine to CH at this point.

Just so you know there is a Prepper Hatch in PV just like there was. Could be full or empty...but there were certainly some fuses and wires in my fully stocked bunkers.

random in what way?   are you able to elaborate on that?  hypothetically speaking of course.

random in where they would spawn...like the original bunkers.

For instance, the old ML Bunker could spawn in one 0f 8-9 places. So you had to look all over the map because you'd never know which bunker had spawned.

The bunkers were themed: The best ones were the Clothing and Weapons Bunkers.

The worst were the Firewood and Medical Bunkers.

So when I went looking for the New Bunker in ML I chose to look first at the Loathed Medical Bunker spot (but I did it without using the rope to save time) There are two on foot paths up to the bunker even today. And of course Hinterland being Hinterland I was right and they had chosen to place it near to where the Medical Bunker would use to spawn.

So some fine folks are looking to add multiple spawn points in each region for each bunker since right now they're static and if you've found one or more well you know where they'll be in your next run.

Currently the only things random about these bunkers....is which 3 of the 9 will be fully stocked.

They are working on a hotfix.

Not sure what "poi" is, but I've found...2-4 new crashed planes since SV. 

  Reveal hidden contents

Some show up with the yellow shortwave, but recently, the one in CH did not trigger the shortwave.

POI=Point of Interest just so you know.

I have found every cache now.

Also some folks who know how to do stuff might be making something to make Bunker Spawns random again.

I like the Dam being Dark.

Since I stream and make youtube vids...which get darkened a bit on broadcast anyway I've always used a light source in the Dam.

Also in places where no light from windows should reach it actually SHOULD be dark.

So if anything the lighting in the dam is improved by being made darker.

Since this seems relevant to the topic... not sure why I can't find ANYTHING (well, except car batteries and scrap metal, that is) in PV to fix the transmitter. Starting to think it's an overlook on HL's part, as fuses and wires showed up fairly randomly in other regions, one would always end up stumbling on some...

You're supposed to bring fuses and wires with you. There's just tons everywhere. I got to PV only needing a battery...and there was one at PV.

But inside along with the battery for me were at least two fuses and 1 wire (which I didn't need) since I came fully stocked. It seems like the loot in places like Signal Hill is quite random.

@JackTrysGames don't give up on it. I missed one of the two story items in the B.I. Bunker...and finally realized it after the P.V. Bunker. I want back and got it and am about to finish Signal Void. The story that is revealed is totally worth it.

Prepper caches- sorry. 

 

No problem.

Prepper Caches can be found in the following Regions:

Mystery Lake
Forlorn Muskeg
Timberwolf Mountain
Mountain Town
Bleak Inlet
Hushed River Valley
Ash Canyon
Pleasant Valley
BlackRock Region

They are static...if you find one it will be the same place in the next sandbox.

What is random is the shape....and the three fully stocked bunkers (each themed differently) are also random each sandbox.

Just now, piddy3825 said:

So correct me if I'm wrong, but only 9 regional bunkers can be found.  So far the list of available bunkers looks like the following locations, in no particular order:

Mystery Lake
Forlorn Muskeg
Timberwolf Mountain
Mountain Town
Bleak Inlet
Hushed River Valley
Ash Canyon
Pleasent Valley
BlackRock Region

not including the bunkers from the Signal Void quest

That list is accurate.

It's just a matter of finding them now. I have only 3 that I haven't found...haven't made it to them in my current searching sandbox.

I've found others outside of this sandbox (ML,FM,MT)

So far in this sandbox: (PV,TWM,AC,Blackrock) so far.

So I only technically have to find HRV,B.I. And the mystery will be gone and I'll know them all.

is there a map somewhere that has them listed? 

Are you asking about the Signal Void Bunkers...or the Prepper caches?
