I would be surprised if they didn't. Seeing as how by their addition in the Hangar Basement they appear to want to make it possible to have long term runs that can remain in the Far Territory for as long as a player wishes. Industrial Mine would seem like a logical location for an Ammunition Bench.

If you do go to HRV and find the new bow...don't use it until you get to Level 4. It is irreparable right now...so if you use it before you reach level 3 you'll get a total of 100 shots with it. If you use it after Level 4 you'll double that to 200. Could it be made repairable eventually, sure...maybe they'll add a master workbench.

Not many people know this...but you can get in a regular wolf struggle with a Timberwolf...and should you survive it (and I have) the pack morale drops by 2/3rds. I honestly wish it happened more often. Also cannot wait for the Cougar!

None of the Variants actually spawn in FA AFAIK. They all spawn in the pre DLC regions.

The variant rifles will not align with any weapon racks.

I'm also concurrently editing mt first TFTFT LP as well. And I have a job.

If anyone ever said: "A picture cannot show you how cold it is." I would show them this picture- especially if the sun is rising...then no shadow of a doubt it is COLD!

This is still consistently amazing. I'm still editing,

'Loper... There's your problem! I play Loper too from time to time but I'm relaxing playing Voyageur aka Normal on my current run.

I like moody shots like these...and a great story. My fireplace picture a few up came out of me trying to make Mindful Cabin in a Blizzard. (I missed the turn). So I was running along the road...thinking I was close but being way off when I saw the fence surrounding the rubble...and then I remembered the rubble held a fireplace. Totally saved my life.

On my current run I abandoned looking for it...but I do know that it spawns in Ash Canyon. I just didn't look around the upper levels near the Mine Rope and the plateau outside the Mine entrance to find it.

The 3rd Rifle is called Curator's and it is in the same Region at the Technical Backpack...somewhere.

You have to travel there first friend. So it's off Broken Railroad but I would suggest playing your game as a regular sandbox and getting there eventually since all the loot has changed...all the playe spawn have changed and all the New Item variants are spread throughout the game world. Also surviving in the Far Territory with just what you find in Broken RR and well the Far Territory is difficult on the first attempt. Good luck!

I killed a moose in the Cove outside the Cottage just the other day...and a Black Bear the day before that. There's a lot of wildlife...there is just a 3 times the size of PV amount of space for them to live in.

Forsaken Life saver.

Nice...also the new meat textures for every kind of meat are also juicy, gross and disgusting.

That's awesome, I'm glad I could bring peace of mind and clarity to the situation- I hope you enjoy the DLC. Speaking of that, please remember, that the whole thing is being released across the year with 5 Updates 8-10 weeks apart. I am hoping this is made clearer on the Expansion page if not now...after the New Year. So people can see what update one has added and perhaps what is planned for Update 2.

It could be referring to the corpse that is always on the newly fixed bridge to the new transition- and marking the new transition at the same time.

I 100 percent agree with this. I just think certain people are blowing this out of all proportion to reality. I was working when the update went live...and yes I know it went roughly...but it was fixed within an hour or two and we've been playing since then. I've been through other games in the past that have bolloxed major updates...was it annoying, you betcha...was I saying- "That's the LAST STRAW I will never trust them again ever, and neither should all the other fans that have devoted so much time to this game!" No- of course not. Will the next release be better...absolutely.

The problem with that is that they themselves simply don't know when certain things will become available. In fact if you read the small print at the bottom of the Expansion page it says: Where each item fits into the release plan depends on development progress and priorities. We will strive to deliver every item on the Roadmap, but some items may be swapped out for others based on progress and community feedback. In the event that we choose to swap an item out from the Roadmap, we will always endeavour to replace it with something of the same “value”. This is not something as simple as saying well this will go there and that will come way down the line. Some things that might have seemed easy to do might take much longer and vice-versa.

Just to put this in perspective, this was the first survival game I ever got...but I initially really got it for story mode. I assumed I would never get into playing survival mode. After nearly 5,200 hours the vast majority of which was in survival how do I feel about story? I feel as if they've done a fantastic job! Originally Hinterland was planning on short Telltale games length episodes...they were thinking 2-4 hours each. To say that was a little off would be an understatement, I can easily play 6 hours in Chapter 1 itself. The full game is going to be at least quadruple the size that they had originally planned! Then they remade Chapters 1 and 2 much improving them- and then a while after that Crossroads Elegy...and then in spite of working remotely they got Chapter 4 out to us last Christmas. We know that there is a lot of story to wrap up and a lot of places to explore- it is easily going to be the longest Chapter yet. In order for them to facilitate a faster output on the final Chapter they mace the choice to Separate the Survival and Story modes entirely. This made it so that changes could be made to Story without having to exhaustively make sure there were no issues or bugs across both story and survival. That is why it would take forever to update the game. Now that both are separate they now have separate teams as well- with one team working on the final Chapter of Story mode and the other working on the free updates to the survival sandbox and the TFTFT DLC. This enables the survival sandbox/TFTFT to be worked on concurrently and separately from the team working on the final chapter of Story mode. Which in turn allows the Sandbox/TFTFT to be updated as often as the sandbox was updated in the Early Access days. This also means that while we are indeed waiting for the final Chapter of Story mode we are continuously getting updates to refine the game further until the final Chapter drops (currently Dec 2023 at the earliest). The main reason that TFTFT came about is actually because the fans requested it. They wanted Hinterland to expand the island and refine the gameplay and they are the ones that wanted to pat $19.99 (or their countries equivalent). People can choose not to get TFTFT and still get sandbox updates every 8-10 weeks for free. All of this work will help the team working specifically on the final Chapter as well. To make it abundantly clear you do NOT have to purchase TFTFT if you don't want to get the DLC...you will still get free survival updates all year. Also to make it crystal clear, anyone who purchased TLD well get, AS PROMISED, all 5 Chapters of the story for free with than initial purchase. I am not worried or concerned with how long story mode is taking to reach completion, because when Hinterland have dropped a new chapter it has always been of the highest quality. So I look at it this way, I get what was promised by Hinterland with my original purchase- and I eagerly await Chapter 5 because I know based on all that Hinterland has done with TLD, that the wait for Chapter 5 will be absolutely worth it. And yet while I wait I choose to show my thanks to Hinterland for all the time and effort they've put into TLD over the years by purchasing a DLC that one isn't required to purchase- and I get to play brand new TLD throughout the time of anxious waiting for Chapter/Episode 5 of the Story. Hinterland are not being underhanded, they are being generous. Yet I also choose to purchase the DLC because

Speak for yourself mate... Forgiven and forgotten right here. This game is absolutely art, and fine art at that, and it keeps getting better and better!

Aurora on a Knife's Edge

I ran into a Bear while looting Final Approach.

Then I must've got very unlucky in my Stalker run because I was finding less loot. I was finding it, much to my delight, tougher than it had been.
