If I were in your position, thinking on how to prepare, perhaps carry a couple Marine flares? Sounds like repeatedly throwing and picking up the Marine flare may reduce morale to the point where you can flee. https://thelongdark.fandom.com/wiki/Marine_flare

Wow, so gracious of you Hinterland!

There are caches at TWM? The only zone I knew of them was HRV.

There's a cave really close to the fuselage where I will rest in each night and typically don't need a fire.

🤔

Like you said, sounds like a "flag" gets triggered when you pick up an item. For example, you can find a 0% can of peaches on a shelf (that you have never touched), but the moment you pick it up, that flag is set so if you put it back on a shelf (aka drop it), the "clean-up" code kicks in and removes it from the game. Just speculation...

I'm guessing the key is to reach the fuselage ASAP?

Yup! I wouldn't really get upset if it was a deer (those are everywhere!) but hunting and killing a bear or moose is much more rewarding when successful.

Once you get to the point when you feel that way, you need to start setting goals for yourself: obtaining all feats, badges, challenges, achievements, trying harder game modes, etc. That should keep you busy for a while

Bit late replying here, but, load a prior save?

I've played enough to where I can orient myself pretty well...with one exception...PV - that darn map still messes with my head!

I Just made a post here on my strategy:

Wolf spawn (as with most factors in the game) does have a RNG aspect to it. Could just be unlucky with the large pack. I would just try to pick one off at a time. A tactic that has worked well for me since the changes to wolf behavior, has been: Get close enough to get the growl and they start approaching you. Find a nice open (preferably flat place), wait for them to get fairly close, raise your bow/rifle (this will initiate a charge from them). I've noticed they weave a bit then come straight at you. Once they start their straight charge, that's your cue to line up your shot and (hopefully) get a head shot. I've gotten to where I can effectively do this @ 90% of the time. Good luck!

Ahh, yes...that one...no easy way but just do a google search and you'll find some methods. That one is mainly earned as you just play the game, but I guess if you really wanted to grind it, you could just keep creating new Pilgrim games until you reach it. https://steamcommunity.com/app/305620/discussions/0/276237094322380148/ https://steamcommunity.com/app/305620/discussions/0/133261124639307302/

Start a new game on Pilgrim difficulty. If you're having trouble with any particular feat, let us know.

From my experience, the most I've found concentrated in an area is: The Ravine, PV - around Lonely Homestead and FM - Marsh Ridge. I'm sure there's others.

Wow, what a story! 2 lucky headshots.

My eyes!!! Just messin' with ya

HRV for me. I like the diversity, the intertwining caves and hunting for caches. Plenty of exterior caves and wildlife.

Yup, that "mystery smoke" is common.

If you are playing custom difficulty, there is a setting for aurora frequency. I usually jack it all the way up just because I love the way they look.

Matches - No. Coal - Yes. Mushrooms - No. Depending upon your difficulty and your resourcefulness, you can easily go over 1,000 days.

I tie a string between 2 of them, hold 1 can to my left ear, run the string around an object or through another room, hold the other can to my right ear and alternate cans talking to myself - does wonders for the loneliness! 🤗

Sounds like a blast! Wish my family members were into TLD like I am. 😢
