I'm trying to think which caves you can't have fires in? Frankly, I was also surprised I couldn't make a fire in the hangar. Perhaps there isn't enough ventilation? Maybe it's because of the floor and oil residue from the mechanics doing their work?

If I recall, there actually was a mod that allowed you to use tinder as fuel (albeit it was a small amount of fire time).

I'm pretty sure I'm in your generation @Semple Fi (50+ years old here). For me, I guess, I have pretty limited time to play the game. I want to make the most of my time when I do play. I want to feel as though I've accomplished something. If I feel I've "wasted" an hour (or more!) on something that isn't there that should be (e.g. bunker), that's frustrating to me.

I've noticed that if the last break-down item I used was a hacksaw, and I then cut down a sapling, I would hear the hacksaw sound (even on the 1st one). If my last break-down item was the axe, like others, I don't hear anything on the 1st sapling but do on others in the group.

Correct, if you are after Feats & Achs, you will not get those with Custom (doesn't mean you still can't use it!). I was using both interchangeably.

@JoeBar You are correct, we have digressed somewhat from the original topic but my comment was in response to your comment essentially saying, "I don't want to know anything that changes in the game." I gave an example to fully understand your point, which I disagreed with. I think we know your stance on this. Based upon community feedback, you are in the minority. You are certainly entitled to post your viewpoint! I was simply trying to point out why I disagreed with your viewpoint (which should be able to take place here). I think it boils down to this - If you don't want to know about changes to the game, stay off any forums/news sources which have that information (which may be a pretty difficult thing to do). Companies respond to what their customers ask for (if they want to remain in business). HL responded to the overwhelming community response by communicating the new features. They had also, somewhat, set an expectation of what we can expect from their rollouts. We're all good.

? It's impossible for console players to use mods (afaik). Everyone can use Custom (if they choose).

Thank you! Think I'm going to wait for things to stabilize a bit before I attempt mods.

One of the best places to hunt bear - from the top of a rope climb!

Who said I was angry? I was just pointing out the fact that you said it was okay for them to remove bunkers and not tell anyone. I then went on to explain why I disagreed with that. I also agree that more dynamic content would be cool, but I also think that if they intend to do that, they inform the players. I state again, if you don't want to know, don't read the news. Try to understand others perspectives and know the world doesn't revolve around you.

Github still has 0.5.7 as latest release? I know 6 was out but was more for devs at this point (if I recall from Discord) and required some special handling to get it to work.

I would think snow would be just as cold? Perhaps a little more comfortable, but a rock slab isn't comfortable.

I do not.

Not sure how that wasn't a serious, very real situation. You didn't address my question. You keep using the word Discovery. Like I said, I'm with you on that. If you don't want to know what they're releasing, don't read it! For the majority of players (according to feedback), they do. Now on to my question about the bunkers.

Eat...my...shorts...

Hey, somebody horked our clothes!

@peteloud, I played a custom game but similar to Voy and I also started out much the same way. I agree it was quite the challenge! I was living rabbit to rabbit for weeks it seems like. After I got a little more established with gear, I was able to fully explore all the new areas.

idk, I've slept on some pretty flat rocks. Wouldn't have anything to do with the temperature of the surface - I would think snow would be just as cold. Wonder if it has something to do with the thin ice mechanic...

Yup, why I only harvest in 1-hour increments.

Should be okay for an hour or 2.

Okay, I'm with ya, but if you are going to change a game mechanic which has been in the game for years, they need to inform the players some way. Can you imagine the support tickets they would get if they just randomly removed things from the game?

Using the missing bunkers as an example - so you're okay with players spending days (if not weeks), pulling their hair out looking for a bunker that doesn't exist?

I say we wait and see.

Perhaps the upcoming Tales will expand the story.

As with pretty much all games these days, the "difficulty" needs to be adjustable to suit a variety of playstyles and preferences. I believe the built-in difficulties coupled with Custom make this VERY flexible. If you've tweaked settings as far as they can go and it's still too easy, your only choice is to put limits on yourself in the game (e.g. once you find a rifle, break down any others you find). There are many posts where users have done this and posted their "settings".
