* [All] Adjusted the amount on Condition decay on the Bedroll when it is left outside.

Quick question... when you say adjusted, do you mean increased or decreased?   

Though I won't be able to try it out until later... so far, I love everything about this.   

I thought that was the case, but I wasn't sure...  Thanks.

It's meant to be a bitter-sweet moment.

I'm glad you were able to overcome.   

Practice throwing stones at everything.  Rabbits... Wolves... Bears... Deer... doesn't matter.  The more to pitch stones the more naturally your estimation of the throw will be.  We all know by now that a stalking wolf will charge as soon as you aim... well you don't have to aim to pitch a stone.  If you are practiced, you can always send them running any time they start to stalk you with a well placed throw.

Also, pitching stones to annoy bears is funny  

It would be interesting if crafting were a skill you could improve over time, resulting in better quality crafted items.

More plants, more animals... always a nice idea.  As long as things don't get too "cluttered."

I think in general... having more options is always more fun than having fewer.   

Very happy to help!

I hope you will have better luck battling that freight-train of hate and hunger!

Well for me, I used an option in steam to display my frame rate (it's very small) in the upper right hand corner of the screen.

As far as increasing it... you can try to tweak your graphics settings a little lower, you can get better performance that way at the cost of some visual quality.

In my case the issue was I had very old hardware... so I got some newer hardware with more capacity (RAM, better graphics card, ext...)

I went from an awful 23 FPS to about 75 FPS... which by most gamers' standards is still low, but it works for me.

Well, lets see... how's your frame rate?  I know that low frame rate can make struggles very difficult.  I don't remember exactly why... but I remember before I purchased my new(er) laptop, the frame rate on my old one was comparatively very low and I always had a lot of trouble with the struggle mechanics.

I don't know if that's your situation... but that was mine.  Once I was getting a better frame rate, it was much more responsive and struggles got a lot easier.

Now perhaps I missed something listed earlier, I don't know... so I am just going to ask.

Is there any chance that this wonderful short film might be available for download?

I know, I can see it anytime on Hinterland's channel on YouTube and things like that... but I bought game's score/soundtrack and I love all of it... and would really love to add this to my collection as well.  I mean I would absolutely pay money for a copy I could have on my hard drive.

Getting stealth ambushed by an aurora wolf that quickly ended my life whilst freezing to death and frantically searching for shelter... 

Do you mean the Emergency Stims?  Yes, they can be found in the cave and they can be very useful.   

I've always loved that this is a thing!  I loved it in the Carter Dam, I was very happy to find this surprise in at least two caves (that I can think of).  It really helps hit home that no place is really safe. 

If I remember some old posts correctly, I think Fluffy and Scruffy both found new dens in the caves (though I don't know if that was ever anything official). 

@ajb1978's advice is spot on.  The timing can indeed be tricky.  I find what worked for me in general was to set the spear right after it finished raring up and started it's charge...  Just like ajb1978 said, you have to set and hold the spear in position (I aim for center mass though I don't know how much of a factor that is) until it reaches you and impales itself in the process.

Good luck battling that freight-train of hate and hunger!

Also, when this happened did you report the problem?  If not, they might not realize that particular set of circumstances.  You could ask about/report on this problem though their support page.  This way you will get some direct feedback as to whether they are aware of the issue, whether they already fixed it, or if they still need to work on it.

There was/is apparently something similar where if you collected buffer memories, you could not go back and read over them from your journal unless you had already collected a "note left behind" (the problem being if you didn't pick up a note, there was no option to view other collectables).

Timing and aiming the spear can be tricky...  I hope you are able to come back to it and overcome that freight-train of hate and hunger!  It's a bitter-sweet feeling.  Good luck, survivor.

Okay, this is a fun twist.  This right here is why I love this community. 

Snow balls for distraction tactics and making snowmen... I would be totally on board for both of these.  It would be fun to be able to make a snowperson and outfit them with spare clothes
