  1. What Now? I'ma get medieval on your (* - terix)+s !
  2. Playing on interloper generally plays out that special equipment is not found but needs to be manufactured. The improvised knife is a great example. That same logic should apply to the new spray can mechanic. The spray can alternative would need to be manufactured with naturally occurring ingredients. No longer a spray can instead a brush made from cloth stick line. Dabbing this dye would also stain longer than the spray can. The same mechanic for warming tea can apply to the dye as it needs to be warm while in use. There are so many ingredients to choose from so list your ideas for the natural dye concoction. A dye I am familiar with comes from the Black Walnut. Very simple to make just boil the husks in water and the resulting black dye stains for a long time. Black Walnut Dye Article
  3. One of the best Snow Shelters I have used on interloper. Starting in DP can be daunting. The closest bed is at Misanthropes. You can take a chance in a car but the wind usually changes and takes out the fire. Just outside the mine entrance. From this spot I can usually make it to the Fishing Cabins easily. The fire can be blown out but it is rare. If I find the hack saw in DP and the Heavy Hammer in CH then this shelter serves double duty. Grab all the cattails and head right back to the Riken to pound out a knife and arrowheads.
  4. Battery is not available. Thanks for letting us know.
  5. This is going to be a long journal entry. Battery Two was left behind at the Town Hall but I needed to first heal up before returning to TWM. Making my way overt to Draft Dodgers and made a stop at the Point of Disagreement. Fro DD explored the area. Finally flushed those bugs! Battery won at bingo. Now to head back to TWM. Mr. Moose is here to help. Scrambled my way to the top using the ropes laid out. Battery One and Battery Two ready for action. Well this is called Deer Clearing for a reason. Never knew that fishing gear is better for hides. Cool. Now back to Pleasant Valley. From Long Curve I made my way to the Radio Tower. Then onto Mystery Lake. Battery is scarce. Up to Milton. Battery! You are a credit to your kind. Battery stays at grammy's house. Battery Three holds the line. Off to Broken Railroad. Batery can sometimes spawn here on this work bench. Had to turn back because i forgot to check this truck at the bridge. Battery Three is at the Carter Dam an now I am off to check the last region. Down the Ravine and into Bleak Inlet. I am down at the cabin at the Lower Ravine Falls. Battery Four and Five are still missing.
  6. Here is an interesting artistic use for Rock Cache. It can be used to create a red jagged border for snapshots.
  7. So far on my BatteryGangFive Challenge I have found three. TWM FM
  8. This just happened again. The save game was at a sprain. After the sprain I headed for a cave and slept through the night hour by hour to avoid freezing in case a blizzard arrived. I then retired from the game and when i reloaded and returned I was back at the sprain save point The game had plenty opportunities to save and failed each time. This is very worrisome as progress can be easily erased.
  9. So this bug is happening to others. First thoughts were maybe I was having trouble with the SSD. Going to post a bug report now.
  10. The game creates a save point when getting a sprain. The game creates a save point when entering a building. Had a sprain. Then entered a building I then exited. Quit and back to main menu. Reload save and I was back where I got the sprain. The save file from entering the building was not available. Happened once and unable to recreate this bug for now.
  11. Interesting that you say this. Just recently I sent a message to admin to add a new emoji. Battery has become sort of a mascot over the year. Battery needs an emoji. Also let me correct your grammar. Portal has companion cubes. Battery belongs to The Long Dark. Cheers.
  12. Awhile back in The Long Dark I sort of befriended a wolf. This idea has merit and with a little trimming of features it might be feasible. The wolf in the video takes bait and does not run off scared. Even when pointing a weapon in its direction did nothing to the wolf demeanor. It plodded along wandering around.
  13. Turn a messy cave dwelling into organized. All you need is a Rock Cache. Finally I can drop things in this cave and go hunting. I lost arrows and a knife in the past. Now it all stays organized.
  14. Battery says hi. 🔋🙋‍♂️
  15. It was the second trip up to the Summit and was just after the update. There was a plastic container that was unsearched. No way did I miss a container was what I remembered thinking. Inside was where I found a polariod at the Summit.
  16. Post your Rock Cache images and ideas here. Here is my attempt at a using the Rock Cache as a wind break. Walked around the lake and found enough stones for three Rock Caches. Uncovered the Rock Cache build limit distance. Seems the Rock Cache cannot be built close to another. Too bad because I wanted to build a rock fort.
  17. Going to Desolation Point I decided to grab some food for the road. Grab all the cattails from the creek. In DP I forgot to check the truck and car at Hibernia. After a quick battle at Coastal Town it was then fully searched. Now off to Pleasant Valley through the Cinder mine. Battery Two remained and played Bingo. After searching Rural Crossroad I took the road up to Misty Falls then a quick sleep at the Prepper's cache. At Deer Clearing two deer were slaughtered. Battery One is in place. Battery Two will be a tough go due to the internal parasites I got back in Coastal Highway. Trying to keep Well Fed might not be the best strategy in the early days. Climbing ropes can be done by first dropping everything. Battery is brought to the top of rope climb then back down for the gear then back to the top.
  18. Going for a stroll has never been easier. Change the keybind for Autowalk to your middle mouse. The other hand now free can do a various tasks, such as sipping tea or lighting a smoke.
  19. Interloper run is starting out decent. Found some good clothing. I almost forgot to look. Found another in Crumbling Highway Found the hacksaw and prybar at Hibernia. Going back anyways. There is a birch and maple sapling with two guts curing back in Desolation Point.
  20. Here I completed a baseline Pilgrim run. The route will take at least three trips as it is impossible to move if all five are carried altogether. Find one and go to top of TWM and start brewing coffee. Once Well Fed you can then climb ropes and carry two at time.
  21. Battery Gang Five Challenge Battery Gang Five wants to go to the plane door at the summit of Timberwolf Mountain. On Interloper I have found only two so far. Voyageur has a one day head start Stalker has a one week head start Interloper has a two week head start Record your time and subtract the head start. If you do not appreciate the auto walk key then give this challenge a try.
  22. I see a smelly bag of meat.
