Chiming in to add another voice to the "I cooked a chicken nugget and it became a whole roast turkey" glitch.

We live among monsters. Better restock on real coffee and leave that acorn crap to the pretenders. Trust me, I've tried both...you want the real deal.

TRAPS Acererak LICH 4-armed GARGOYLE False ENTRANCE. The hell kind of class was this supposed be anyway?

I just had a sudden realization--even the "loose scraps of paper" decals that are used as interior decoration are also missing.

I can confirm the calorie issue to the extent that I have Level 5 cooking, raw 1kg Ptarmigan is 500kcal, but after cooking mysteriously DROPS by 10% 50 450kcal for 1kg cooked ptarmigan. I'm very trigger happy on predators so I'm not at all worried about starvation, and honestly the "oops this chicken nugget turned into a roast turkey when I took it off the stove" bug makes up for it in the short term. But yeah, deffo buggo.

I've had no decals whatsoever since the last major update and subsequent hotfixes. All decals means blood splatter from a weapon hit or wolf struggle doesn't exist, blood drops from a wounded but not dead animal don't appear, spraypaint markings are gone (both freshly painted and relics from prior saves), the crap on the snow after you search for acorns, etc. All of it. All gone.

Fascinating side effect, I wonder what it is... And also I'm curious how this could potentially benefit regular gameplay. The "glow" doesn't appear to illuminate the environment, it's moreso a blur effect applied to the object on the screen.

This word gave me second-hand cancer.

Oh you're from whales, I've never met a whale myself but from what I understand they're quite peaceful creatures who are remarkably resistant to TNT-based funerals. Unless you're in favor of having your house, car, and the rest of everything you know bombarded to your ultimate dissatisfaction by airborne whale chunks, anyway. Welcome to the jungle. We've got guns and flames.

Bravo, THIS is good science. NEVER F-ING STOP

Yup, @TwoFatCatz mentioned it the other day, and I confirmed it myself with a ptarmigan mishap last night. Little bitty pieces become full chunks when cooked. Edit: Oh and incidentally, I now have an appreciation for the little carry weight buff foods like dockworker cakes grant. 3kg isn't much, but it allowed me to climb back up to Paradise Meadows without needing to make two trips. So on this day at least, the buff actually was helpful. I do maintain my stance though that a temporary 3kg buff isn't going to be useful on any given day, it's highly context-specific.

Honestly no! I didn't even remember it until well after the fact. Like several in-game hours, then it hit me hah!

Lmao I just realized why I'm suddenly so overburdened when I only harvested like 10 ptarmigans. It's because of some weird glitch where when I cooked all the little itty bitty pieces of ptarmigan to eat them up quick, while saving the .5kg pieces for recipes....suddenly every single little 0.1kg piece I cooked up, became a full 1kg Cooked Ptarmigan. Edit: Oops wrong thread. But I'm leaving it here in case it helps anyone.

Always err on the side of submitting too many reports. Even if you know for a fact the issue has already been reported, the number of reports they receive about any one issue is going affect how much of a priority it is. A bug that hundreds of people are reporting is clearly more important than a one-off.

Nah just save them for when you're already at 0% thirst. Unlike real life, you can totally ram 3 full boxes of crackers down your throat while completely parched, then have a little sip of water and everything is fine. I would expect this to play out pretty similar to exploiting starvation. It would probably make sense to let fatigue and thirst both go to crap while you explore so you can get more done during the hours that your health is draining. Then sleep back up to 100% at night, and start the whole process over in the morning. 0.66L of water is now worth 1 night of sleep. So that, plus whatever else you can get from cans, is your life span.

My greatest accomplishment in this vein is summitting Timberwolf Mountain without stims during a no-sleep run. I don't generally like "suicide runs" but I'm not exactly a stranger to them. You can learn quite a lot in a short time when you pick one specific boundary to aggressively test.

When you accidentally eat raw meat, then panic and ESC-cancel in some futile attempt to avoid food poisoning...you will not get food poisoning. So you may as well have just finished eating it.

I also have been editing my posts because clicking the Submit Reply button somehow causes me to think of more ideas I should've incorporated prior to clicking said button. So you very well may have missed nothing at the time. I'm reminded of the time I went in with three other guys and we all bought a steer together and paid to have it processed, then we all took turns grabbing cuts of frozen meat and dropping them into our respective coolers for transport home. I'd be willing to do a similar "crowd-sourced" meat purchase for rare ingredients like grouse. I don't seriously expect that this will ever happen, but if recipes with authentic ingredients also included some option to order a box packed with all the rare stuff you need to make said recipes, that could work. Maybe. Just spitballin at this point.

Oh my dear sweet crap I need this bug in real life. Holiday dinners would be so much easier if I could just have everything done in the 3 minutes it takes to reheat a jar of store-bought gravy.

Oh yeah I'm always in favor of new recipes. I always learn at least something new from every cookbook I've read. Like sure, every cook book has a recipe for beef stew somewhere in it, but had I not encountered the Marlboro Cigarette Cookbook, I would never have thought to try putting cinnamon in my stew. I also would not have realized what a terrible idea that was, or that a cookbook sold by a deathbroker might not be the best source of culinary advice, but hey. Still learned something. And yes, this is a true story lol

Well yeah, I'm just saying, I'm not gonna find that at the local grocery, and I'm not about to go crafting a bow and fire-hardened arrows to hunt grouse for real lol

Actually Skyrim, yeah they did come out with some cookbooks. Star Trek too. Just some real-life versions of stuff that appeared in the fictional universe. I remember eating some kind of Klingon Blood Worm deal, that was really based on I think udon noodles. I could totally get on board with that, but I would definitely prefer recipes I can make by hitting up the local grocery. I love the exotic aesthetic, but yeah. If you can get what you need inside of 30 minutes, that's the real gold standard.

What I wanna know is what the hell does a Breyerhouse Pie even taste like. I'm in the upper midwest US we don't have those birds here, so right away I'd have to improvise with probably chicken. OK see THIS is a great business opportunity! The foods in this game are getting increasingly specific, and as the player base is not getting any smaller, that creates a potential source of revenue! Or maybe I'm an idiot I dunno.

Huh...could be an opportunity for a Long Dark fanfic survivor story. The guy who is committed to keeping the world going. Collects and consolidates supplies, still has access to some regular electricity and so maintains a beacon, welcomes newcomers, ensures everyone is well-equipped before heading out into the new world. Maybe the briefly teased "barter system". You can rob it once, then you're blacklisted forever. Or you can cooperate, and thrive.
