Smellyfries

For me, the leap to making an account on the Forum was simply asking how rabbit snares worked. I didn't have much time during a week, but I was planning on trying to get the Rabbit Snaring Feat the upcoming weekend. I created my account just to initially ask that question, but I asked my question in one of the Milton Mailbags, which didn't get seen much by the community. Thankfully, a kind member of the forum suggested asking the question directly to the community under "How to Play," which after posting my question, really showed to me how dedicated and kind the community was on this forum, and got me to interact more with it. The community has helped me so much with the game since then, and even when its not about the game, it's always a blast to just hop onto the Forums, and just read everyone's experiences/thoughts.

Stones have saved many of my Interloper starts, needing to pop a wolf on the snoot before I have access to torches and a bow. I almost always carry one on my until I can get a bow.

My favorite food is French Fries, though I figured that the username French fries would be taken on most platforms, so I thought up of something random to put before or after "Fries" that would at least roll off the tongue well, and I believe my actual thought process for coming up with "Smellyfries" was: "Fries smell good, fries are Smelly, ah! Smellyfries!" Originally I wanted to make a username with the name "Waffle" or something similar, but a group of friends had already claimed that name, and I didn't want to confuse them even more with another username with "Waffle" integrated into it, so as stated earlier, I thought of my favorite food instead.

Yes, I've had this issue multiple times. I've found it happens a bunch during glimmer fog, where the lights on the signal transponder are on, but it doesn't get a signal. I've found that just waiting for a true Aurora at night usually gets it to work, but it makes Glimmer fog even more annoying.

Everything! Honestly the whole DLC has been amazing to play, and every feature added has really improved the game in my eyes! Probably my favorite specific feature are the item variants. I love collecting things, and now that there are unique items placed out there in the world, it gives me a whole new reason to search every nook and Cranny in search of them! My favorite item variant is the: It's the first one I found, and really brought me excitement for the DLC and its future. (Item Hidden in case other survivors don't want spoilers on the item variants)

An idea I had was a portable stove for tents like your idea, where the stove is quite heavy, but can fit in a tent, and is windproof. Downsides are, an obvious weight, a slow condition lost over long days of use, but also, it can only hold a max of 5 hours of fuel. It's a small stove, smaller than the round stoves in Ice Fishing Huts, so it can't hold much fuel. So you'll have the ability to sleep anywhere with the tent and stove, but you won't be able to get full rests without the stove going out. The max of 5 hours would also limit its heat output. I imagine it would look similar to this stove, maybe a little more rustic to fit the situation on Great Bear. Thus, with the tent and stove, you'll be able to make actual camping trips out in the wilderness of Great Bear, Ice Fishing in spots without a Hut, or just in the woods that don't have easy windbreaks for campfires. Such an endeavor however would require a travois to help carry the items, or a high carry capacity, plenty of fuel, as well as repairs to the stove and tent when you are done, but, I'd love to be able to go camping with these if these were added!

Imagine if the animation for dying was simply the character falling over as Loapa suggested, so you eat some low quality beans, get food poisoning, then just collapse. I don't know why this popped in my head. *Finds beans* *Eats beans* *Collapses* "You have died from beans."

You could get Salt from holes in the ice like the Fishing Shacks, break open the ice and grab a few bottles without the risk of taking a cold swim.

That looks amazing!

I love the idea of whittling and making crafts to decorate our base.

Sadly, I haven't seen two bears meet each other anywhere on the map, their wandering range is definitely designed so they don't get close to one another. I would try to lure a bear to another bear, but I have this feeling that I'd get mauled. Though a thought I had before finishing this, it would probably be easier to lure them to another territory with a high scent, that way you can stay out of their agro range. Might need to do this on custom without wolves though, as every wolf in the area would also tag along lol.

Another poll because I can.

I imagine some Timberwolf Socks would be supremely comfy.

Random Poll for whatever reason.

Recently, I've been delving into custom mode, and have read and adjusted the many settings you can change that'll impact your survival playthrough. Though I have started many survival playthroughs with different challenges and unique variables, there are always two that I fall back on that actually make it past 20 days. Super-Pilgrim: Default Pilgrim settings, with the exception of all wildlife being set to max spawns, and fastest respawns, with their player detection set to its minimum. I primarily use this to work on the "Faithful Cartographer" achievement, but also have been doing it along side the "living off the land" achievement as well, to mix things up. I set the animal detection to very low, as I always find it a pain to hunt on default pilgrim, due to deer spotting me from two miles away. I quite enjoy how alive the world feels when there are so many animals living in the world, and makes everything feels less desolate as I wonder from POI to POI (point of interest). Collector's-Interloper: Since the release of the DLC, I've always wanted to collect all of the unique items, but since default interloper disables firearms as well as cleaning kits, this has been my go-to to still find neat loot, whilst still having the harshness of Interloper. Simply put, its Interloper with medium loot, and firearms turned on. Simple as that, but I quite like having the goal of searching for the unique weapons and thermoses. If I had more patience, I'd probably play on the Endless night settings more, but the constant dread of using up all of my lantern fuel, and not being able to use a workbench usually ends the playthrough early. Curious on what settings everyone else typically runs with on custom, and what unique playthroughs have been created! Hope everyone has a good day!
