oh, how right you are!  I just recently launched a custom game based on Interloper criteria but upped the difficulty where I could to add a little danger and adversity.  Wouldn't you know it...  Randomly spawn into HRV, during a blizzard!  Wouldn't you know it, I'm boxed in a with no where to go but...  Wouldn't you know it, blocking my path is Bear!  

yeahhhhhh this happened to me and turned me off of HRV for a long, long time lol.

This may not be the best place to discuss this but...  I know there's a save editor. I have used it when I destroyed something I didn't mean to, stuff like that. I'm pretty sure the saves can be edited as json files... so, with that information, should there be, in theory, a way to add things into your save at a specific location?  Say, replacing that gun rack you destroyed in the trapper's lodge?  Just gotta know the object info, and one can always trial-and-error the XYZ coords....

Thoughts?

eta: I know this tool exists but the save files contain player data only, not environments.

I've never really explored HRV until today. There's a moose that spawns on a lake right by a cave. And I mean, right outside the cave. It *is* on the very opposite end of where you enter HRV from Milton, but what this means is, if you can make it to that cave and the moose is there, you've got yourself an excellent base with heaps of meat from which to branch out.

Not to mention there are caches here and there, and the loot at the signal fire.

HRV *is* like a maze, but it honestly isn't nearly as bad as TWM.

As a hoarder who also organizes collections with a game that I've survived years in, no, I don't want my treasures to vanish. I'd much rather them poof into a Lost & Found box, because that means 1) I still have my treasures and 2) I get to organize them again.

Reorganizing is, after all, all there is to do when you're flush with moose meat.

I play under linux. To be honest, 99% of the time the amount of futzing around after you get the system set up properly is quite minimal; I have a nice collection of windows only games in steam that I run using proton with no trouble at all. There are other ones that don't work so great (Crysis, which I'm trying to get going now because reasons) but generally the experience is pretty good. If you do decide to install TLD into linux using steam, tell steam to use the latest proton as a compatibility tool; you'll get much better results that way. As an aside, while I run TLD windows binaries, I run the KSP linux binaries because they're using a non-bugged version of unity for their game.

That said, I do love to tinker so that works a lot for me but it may not work for you.

If you do decide to build a linux gaming system, go AMD. Seriously.

yes! I use AMD on my linux desktop. steam-to-proton works great, or just needs a simple workaround.

Having recently upgraded from an older laptop to a 4k OLED screen I can def say that, even on a non-gaming laptop, TLD looks really, really nice. And the smoke coming out of chimneys is no longer just jagged grey lines. The shadows/light balance is more realistic, forcing me to use my lanterns more. I wouldn't say the difference is monumental, but just overall better, even on medium-high settings.

I loaded the game for the first time in at least a month and outside the ML Camp Office was a Lost & Found box. In it were tons of rocks, charcoal, and tinder that I'd previously laid out to create paths for myself.

I assume whatever adjustments to the game were made in February affected the ground where I'd made my paths. Initially I was PISSED  but hey, it found my arrow that was no doubt the one I'd lost in a wolf I couldn't find after it died.

This feels a bit like cheating... I probably should have never found that arrow. That wolf probably dropped at some unscalable height lol. But hey, I'll take it....

THISSSSS. Yes. Fully support Scarves as accessories AND you shouldn't, honestly, be able to wear two ear cuffs at once lol

Does anyone know the details of Blizzard Walker requirements?

The result is easier walking in wind, so does that mean it's time spend being battered by wind? Or time spent walking through a blizzard (wind and snow)? Is it JUST really high wind or any wind? Or ANY wind with snow? Can you be outside but sheltered against the wind during a blizzard but still accrue time spent outside during a blizzard?

A girl needs to know 😂

Whoever designed the canary was feeling very... acrobatic. 😂

I have to say, even though I'm playing on Pilgrim for now, my several hours in Bleak Inlet so far has been TERRIFYING. I wasn't sure if the Timberwolves would leave me alone like regular wolves, so I was on edge. And add to that what has been VERY harsh weather...

I was exploring the canary a litttttle too close to dark and (first mistake) didn't just pack it in inside a trailer. I kept exploring figuring I'd find shelter... welp, I did, but it wasn't sealed from the elements... at all. I still wasn't sure if the timberwolves would get more aggressive, so I made my way up, up, up, thinking there'd be an office or something... I had my storm lantern which was very necessary as the winds in BI are TORRENTIAL!! I thought I'd found a good enough space to stay above freezing but a blizzard set in and I had to move. I found my way to a boat by hopping down, but there's no way inside the boat, and I couldn't find a way OFF it either! So I used it as a windsheld and built a fire long enough to sleep and warm up...

The blizzard lasted all night. A few hours before dawn I decided to check again for a way off the boat and found one. And while carrying my lantern in the middle of a blizzard I crossed planks of wood into another building.

All the while, there were strange noises below, snuffling and skittering...

I found a sort of lofted corner to build a fire (on snow) and sleep too. It was thankfully blocked from the wind on 2 sides if not all. Come dawn, the blizzard stopped, and I realized what those weird noises were...

Timberwolves were running around below me, and I couldn't help but think they were just WAITING for me to fall down from my loft....

After more acrobatic plank walks, I made my way down to the roof of a trailer, and to the ground, and inside a trailer where I had to quit the game (after a save) and take a break because PHEW  I was certain I was going to bite it after more than 600 days ingame.

And I thought TWM's weather was harsh! I'm going to be spending a lot of time in BI, I think. I still haven't found the place where you can manufacture bullets, but I did find the residence and the radio tower.

If anyone's wondering, no, the timberwolves never attacked me. I was even able to chase one off a fresh deer kill. On Pilgrim, even regular wolves have a chance to defend their kill by attacking you (or maybe I annoyed that one wolf somehow, I don't recall). But even though I did run into a few packs while walking around, they never approached me.

I still find BI and the timberwolves terrifying. I think the weather is in particular one of the reasons I was so panicked.  I'd been spoiled for a long time, living the life of a queen in the Camp Office with more food than I could handle. I'd basically been just lazing the days away before this update, so I felt like a noob again. 😫

Lesson re-learned, though. If it's near sunset, sit your butt down inside a shelter.

a Lost and Found box sitting near the rail tunnel in the Ravine transition zone seemed a bit extreme.

wow... I'm going to keep my eye out for boxes in unexpected places. so far I've just been looking inside buildings.

Please, for the love of the snowpocalypse, stack items that are placed inside Lost and Found boxes. I'm extremely happy about this feature in principle, but I ended up having over 100 pieces of charcoal in one box because, well, it was in the PV homestead in a pile....  and I just had to click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click----

Please, please please stack items in the Lost and Found boxes. Please. Please. PLEASE. 😂

Thanks for the comments. I've been combing my old haunts and looking through the Lost and Found boxes, and looking for new content. Found a LOT of surprises in PV cuz I didn't read the dev notes in detail....!!!!  Still don't have any stump remover and I think I've combed ML and CH really thoroughly. Gotta keep looking. Yes it does make sense IMO to find these objects in industrial places like the dam, but it is what it is...

Just now, Serenity said:

Why would they have changed anything there? Aside from tiny fixes it's all about the new region.

Every space could potentially have new ITEMS. Sulfur and stump remover etc. People are finding stuff in the Trapper's Cabin so why not the dam?

Has anyone found anything new from the Errant Pilgrim update in Carter Dam? I'm on Pilgrim mode. I've found the Lost & Found boxes and found a few nice things but nothing of the new content. The place is so big though I wanted to make sure I'm not maybe missing something. If anyone's found any  of the new content there, please reply and let me know, I'm curious.

That's @Admin I did. I just wanted to open up discussion.

I've already submitted a bug for this but opening up discussion here.

Ep 3 intro movie plays, then when the game starts and the playable character is walking around with a rifle it crashes just about a minute in, same place every time. Completely crashes the graphics card driver.

Steam on Linux. Game playable in sandbox mode without issue.

...just out of curiosity, do you have your gamma/brightness cranked to max in your settings?

nope

Saw that today and I was convinced they did a hotfix to color it for Pride Month, but since you took that shot in January.... well, there goes that theory.

I had my desktop on high graphic settings, so... maybe it's meant to represent blue (super hot) flame?

Jeremiah. 

I have a beard kink.

I forgot to mention that I'm 79.4% sure that some cattails have regenerated, OR, the game has added a few here and there. 

and I'm 92.6% sure that the game added some saplings here and there. I returned to TWM to look for ammo and in an area I was before, there were chopped AND unchopped saplings as well as locked cargo crates. I'm absolutely sure I would have unlocked the crates and I can't see why I wouldn't take all saplings in the same location.

Has anyone found a revolver or ammo  on a corpse?  I've seen ammo at least in many places, but nothing found when finding a new/already searched corpse.

On my 500+ day Pilgrim save, I'm traipsing all over the island to find revolver ammo. I've been finding two things:

1) cabinets and other containers are "Searched" but have something inside that I 100% would have taken on my canned food run.

2) cabinets and other containers like cargo crates that were locked when I 100% would have unlocked them already. 

So it seems that, for some reason, the Steadfast update 'reset' some items, some locations.

or, I'm completely wrong and I just forgot that I missed these containers.
