Turning into a rash

If you don't mind spoilers, there are some great maps on the internet you can use.

Oh, and there is a 2nd transition cave to AC from TWM, very close to Deer Clearing.

Since you asked for one:  New maps.

One has to be methodical I presume... I find myself half-collecting them, but suspect it's not good practice in the long run ("Have I found this one before...?") 😅

Yup, had a spreadsheet to track them.

Cairns seem to be the "last" thing to try and achieve... have some of you found them all? I would guess so?

On my obsolete prior run, I found them all.  It was a fun challenge!

So IMO, adding mods will ruin the game. Leave it as it is. Yes update it with more survival content like it has already but adding the ability to allow mods will not make this game any better, but worse. 

Thank you for your opinion.  You know what's great about mods?  They're optional.

mine was 2890 days... then the big Update and now day 1193...

Both my old and newest longest runs are pretty close to this as well.

Wow thats a run! What did you do during the last 2k days? How did you keep from being bored?

For me, that 2k+ run was the one I did everything.  Buffer memories took many days as well as finding all caches.

Oh, and congrats on the 365!  Keep going!

He is risen!

Happy Easter!

Which time/planet zone are you in?!   Still got 2 days to Easter here, but happy pre-Easter

Zones I L&L (Loot & Leave):

• AC
• FA
• ZoC
• DP
• BR

I suppose mostly because those are "terminus zones", which I'm not forced to travel through to get to other areas.  HRV is not in the list because I just like the feel of the place. BI is not in the list either because I like to cook at the old lighthouse and using the ammo bench.

They're still doing this, eh?  It's been around for a while now.

To someone who keeps up to date with the forums/reddit etc then no it is not an issue. However, using any lure will not only decrease your chance to catch fish as BugReportEnthusiast pointed out, but it will also massively increase your chance to catch any of the new fish. In my loper game I wasted 2 days trying to stock up on vitamin C, only to realise that the lure was hampering my efforts rather than improving them. I had to read a reddit page to find out what was going on which was using some very sketchy data.

Gotcha.  It's a serious issue if you use lures.

Communication is not one of their strong suits.  How hard is it to say, "Here we are in February, and unfortunately, we don't have much to share, but hope to have something soon!"

That makes sense. It's always felt like such a minority of cases where that would actually work, that I've just defaulted to using the rifle for bears and moose.

I've pretty much used this tactic since the beginning.  It becomes second nature once you get the knack of it.  Besides, it adds some strategy needed.

Don't you lose track of what you were doing ?

Not really.  I've done pretty much everything on my longest run.  I only have a couple others and I can quickly catch up by peeking at my maps and inventory.

Feeling/hoping we will get something soon!  A dev diary, or better yet, the next update!!!  I haven't been playing TLD for the past month or so and I'm ready to get back into it!

I agree completely, the only issue I have is that with a bow I need to be close enough that, once hit, the bear will immediately (and with confounding speed) charge at me and maul without (seemingly) any possibility to avoid it...

Otherwise, for the stats: 548 days / 57 bears / 14 moose.

Position yourself somewhere where: a) he can't reach you, or b) you are on a ledge with a place to drop down to where he can't reach you.  i.e. use the landscape/terrain to your advantage.

Not sure if HL will share that detail or not with us - based upon past news, I'm hesitant to say they will.  We will just need to wait to find out.

I would hope a hotfix as its a fairly serious issue for long runs.

Seeing as the new fish are uncommon, is it really a serious issue?  I do agree it's an oversight on HL's part.

😆

HRV's sitting dead continue to surprise me when I find them.  This poor chap doesn't appear to be anywhere ready to survive the rugged climes of this region.  I suspect he may be the unfortunate survivor of one of the plane crashes that I've stumbled onto recently.  He looks ill equipped to have otherwise found himself here in this predicament.  My suspicions seem to be confirmed when I turned out his pockets and found all he had was a metal shard that he was using as a knife and a stale package of beef jerky.  The one thing however that he yielded that made my day was a recipe card for Stalker's Pie.  Looks like the card comes with live ingredients roaming nearby.  Just barely managed to avoid a bear that was close by as I made a hasty retreat!

Amazon had just delivered the long-awaited & coveted Stalker's Pie recipe!  In his excitement and haste to gather the ingredients, he failed to properly plan and equip himself.  Stumbling through the wilderness, he became tired and lost.  "Let me just rest for a minute here..."

he didnt even move for a good 45 seconds before he ran.. that's how i had time to reload and get s second shot off.

Yeah, that shouldn't happen - he should either charge or flee immediately.
