Further, I had a fire barrel at one of the depot buildings disappear on a recent save.

I had boiled some water, left fuel on the floor in front of it, and one day later, the fuel was still there, but the barrel was gone.

Carter is my guess the pylons already extend down winding river then head off that way

Those power lines would have to cross the railroad tracks between Carter, Ravine and Coastal Highway, and also be visible in Bleak Inlet in order to reach ZOC. Geographically, the current map layout doesn't support them to go to ZOC.

I've not seen a difference with the new wolves and torches, compared to the "normal" wolves.

I've seen two streamers (Zacnafein and Wonzandonly) have "not normal" encounters.

Take a look at this, go to minute 28 - not encumbered, healthy, wolf comes from distance, ignores torch completely.

Or here - wolf doesn't stop or growl, but goes straight for the maul (at the very end of stream):

This is not how wolves behave in any other region.

In my game, human corpses that I swear were not there before, are suddenly appearing. Two in the Idle Camp.

 

Yes, that’s a thing. I had two or three appear after a thorough sweep of the buildings.

So, anecdotally, it seems like they are not afraid of torches, but flares and campfire will keep them long enough at bay that they can be scared of by pointing a weapon. 
Haven't tried if starting a new campfire works, of if you get mauled in the process.

Same with multiples.  Hint for Foreman's Key since I was having the same trouble:

Yeah, I was getting the same feeling. 
Gotta finish my current challenge first before I can proceed with it.

has anyone found more than the one pair yet?

Yes, found two pairs on plain Interloper.

As a matter of facts, I found everything in duplicates (helmet, jacket, pants, boots), except the respirator.

Now, If I only could find that darn Foreman's Key. 

-t

16 days in ZOC on Interloper, haven't found the darn Foreman's Key yet.

Explored the whole mine, all mine buildings, and most of the region. But must have missed that freaking key. Aargh.

Darn wolves are hard to deal with. It seems like torches are not guaranteed to work. I've been using blue flares, and so far, no issues with fending wolves off. But only have a few blue flares left, so gotta be really judicious.

Trying to survive 50 days in new zone, having brought nothing in. Food is going to be a challenge.

I have no idea what you meant by this

Everything you describe is according to physics. That's why the baclava is the way it is.

To be any different would violate the way physics work.

Hinterland is often trying to be realistic. Giving it a general windchill buff is realistic. Even though it wouldn't "work" if worn as an inner layer.

In addition, since the only way you can breathe in dangerous areas is using a respirator and consumable cartridges, once you run out, you might as well just leave the region.

Have explored most of the mine w/o a respirator, because I failed to check every nook and cranny, and started exploring without.

It's almost perfectly fine. All areas (except one !) can be traversed by just running through it. I found only one side arm (dead end) where this doesn't seem to work, and luckily, I had the respirator by then. I only use it for emergencies - when the countdown is down to 5 seconds. 

I play Interloper, and entered the region with nothing (fresh start). I'm on day 15, and it's fine. The clothing you get in ZOC is totally OP for Interloper. I plan to live for 50 days just in ZOC. The only real issues I have achieving this are:

- no bedroll (makes sleeping off cabin fever harder)

- no bow/knife/hatchet - I might run out of food, because I can't hunt and harvest animals (they removed ability to harvest with bare hands)

I do not understand why the technical balaclava was given a windchill buff.

 

Why is this a question ?

The answer is: PHYSICS

Even an item worn on the inside layer will have some positive windchill effect (because: physics) if worn on its own.

NOT giving a buff would be an odd choice.

-t

Yeah, saw that. Kinda makes sense, since these seem to be made out of rubber, and its not a material available for crafting / repairing.

Then again, remember how the crampons were not repairable in the beginning, and it was added later. Let's see.

Least favorite, I'd have to say Spence.  It does have some advantages, like being able to shoot wolves from safety and being at zero risk for cabin fever, but I think that little outdoor office at the BR maintenance shed beats it out. 

With the new nearby bunker next to Spence's, the location has become much better.

Main advantage over BR - plenty of coal nearby in cave to BI.

Traditionally... there was only supposed to be one moose at a time that migrated around Great Bear

I have never heard of that, and the experience in the game was never as such.

E.g. moose in Milton could exist, and as soon as you climb down into the basin, there could be another moose. If that's the same, its would have to outrun and outclimb you.

Agree... and there's no challenge at all at that point

Yes, there is. Repetition makes you careless. The challenge is to not make a big mistake.

The longer you go, the higher the chance of a bad mistake. Not making it is a big challenge.

Does anyone know of any streamer that has done science on the different lures ?

-t

Fished about 18 hours, in 3-4 hour increments. Caught 5 fish in total.

Definitely nerfed compared to the past.

On IL past 50 days, you basically have to keep a fire going all the time. It's almost not worth it.

Weather has a maximum "worseness". On voyager and stalker (i think) you reach the worst weather possible after 200 days
On interloper, you reach the worst possible weather after 50 days

That's right. That's why it's so important too hustle in the first 30 days, to get good clothes, cure hides and guts, and get a good collection of clothes.

If you are not fully equipped at day 50, you can barely move any distance outside.

-t

In my recent IL runs, I would barely catch any fish w/o using tip ups.

I can fish for 12 hours, even using lures, and not catch ANYTHING.

It didn''t use to be like that - even on Fishing 1, I would catch fish every two hours with just a hook.

What's going on ?

A store that nearly sells out inside of an hour, that's a good problem to have objectively speaking. Dusty unsold merch, now that's a problem.

That's the charitable interpretation.

More realistically: they only had a very limited number, and the intention of this sales was to clear old inventory.
