Forgive my ignorance, but what am I missing here? The ability to display them where we wouldn't/couldn't normally? Or do we get magic pelts appearing out of thin air?

come back the next day after you've harvested.  arrow will typically be there on the ground nearby.  I shot a bear the other day and the arrow sunk in all the way to the feathers... I couldn't retrieve my arrow as everytime my mouse hovered over the arrow, the harvest blurb kept popping up.  I figured, another arrow lost.  I ended up just taking the hide on my first pass at harvesting.  When i returned the next day, the arrow was on the ground.

I'll keep that in mind. Thanks!

Usually it's the wolf skin coat that does this. It's just a chance and quite rare

that could be a factor, I was wearing one. Albeit under neath my windbreaker.

FYI: this was encountered with Archivist mode.

I'm in Pleasant Valley. I strolled out of the barn to hunt for some food. I saw a lone wolf, approached it. Then the wolf let off a whimpering sound then ran away. I didn't shoot or injure any before hand. This was during the afternoon.

Why does this happen?

Also, 24 hours later. I went out to hunt again, but this time the wolf was quite aggressive.

Carter Hydro sales rep, sticking on stickers randomly?

Well, I don't doubt your reasoning. However, the missing arrow was when the wolf was slow walking towards me. Quite close range. Died on the spot. Hence my curiosity peaking.

@ManicManiac,

Hi, thanks for the information. I definitely, looked all around the dead wolf. Even after harvesting it. No joy...I felt really robbed at that point. 

I think I will need to practice more with this new toy. It's tricky...

My strategy is to put myself in their line, crouch and let them walk right up to me and hit 'em at close range.

Yes, specially when you have the time to actively seek them out. Works really, when you're heavily laden with weight (can't sprint to catch the bugger before it awakes) Otherwise, it's an opportune chances for me to kill them on the move.

Hello,

I've recently killed a wolf with a bow & arrow. But for some reason I didn't have the option to retrieve the arrow itself. When I clicked the option to "harvest" I chose the quarter. If that helps?

Question:

Can you retrieve the shot arrows? or are they one time use only?

Oh, I had no idea that you may be new to the regions themselves!

I've had the game since its inception. I just redownloaded the game and trying it out again, after many years.

@MarrowStone

I'm noticing a trend here. Timberwolf Mountain, are resources really scarce that I must prioritise food & water even more?

I recommend going the starving route for food once you get to the cave. I didnt stay in the Hut since theres a bear between the cave and it.

Can you clarify? I don't understand what you meant by starving route, nor which hut you mentioned.

Also, in the "Archivist" mode. Can anyone confirm whether the Bunkers are taken off for this mode?

The excitement of the game is greater without the benefits of the maps, or other information gained from reading about the game.

I understand that. I just wanted to get this particular mode over and done with is all.

Even with the knowledge of where a certain exit/entrance is on the map. The game still has its fun factor for me.

The Whiteberry maps are very good.

Thank you, I will search for those maps.

You can drop items from the inventory, and use the right-click "move" function (or the equivalent on a controller) to move and place items. Some folks are very good at moving the character/camera, to be able to place things and line them up precisely. Some of us are a bit more sloppy, lol.

I wouldn't have thought of that. Thank you!

Hello all,

I'm looking for a detail maps (user generated, most likely). That would show which path in a region leads to another.

I know, I should be making the best of the game experience by just playing it through. However, I'd prefer to get to the end game of this particular mode (Archivist).

Drop me some supplies (by that I mean maps...) please folks!

I do not break down objects until I need it so I hoard nearly everything.

That's some hoarding and carrying heavy loads...

Question: How did you manage to place items that doesn't have the "Place in radial" option?

In some regions you can get both buffer memories in the time of 1 aurora if you pack light, saves time. 

Bring a hacksaw with you at timberwolf. I also noticed you dont get parasites risk in archivist

Thank you for the tips. 

I am now in Coastal Highway. Got the Buffer Memory. Loaded up with food, and water. Repaired the pistol, rifle, tools to max. Crafted a rabbit mitten, rabbit hat, wolf coat, deerskin boots, and a bow with 3 arrows. Speaking of which, where would one find more arrowheads? or is it something that needs to be done via crafting at some stage?

I will take another long walk to the next town. Hopefully to Pleasant Valley. If I can find the exit out of Coastal Highway...

Cancel this request.

Apparently, I had to go around the long way around to enter via the window. That activated it for me.

Very nice!

A good bop indeed!

Hello,

Since I could not find any "search function" in this forum. I had to start a new one. Apologies if this question was made some time before. 

Objective: To find the Buffer Memory at the "Mystery Lake - Lower Dam".

Situation: The game mode is "Archivist". Currently at Carter Hydro Dam - Lower Level (past the dead guy with the broken arrow & lantern).

I have spent 5 days, 4 nights in Carter Dam. Mostly at the lower levels. With depleting food (and patience). I have walked as far as the map would allow me to go. Without having to take the "Emergency Exit Only" door. I figured it would lock me out, once I do. The furthest room (the one with broken window, and snow that have drifted in). I've spent a night there to tick off this objective. But sadly, none of the computers there were it.

I've back tracked from that room. Where there's a walkway bridge on far left. There is a desk with two monitors, very close to the live electrical wire that is exposed during the special time.

That too was a no go. Now, I'm having to find food, boil water, and trying to time the irregular aurora events to find the pesky objective computer.

Basically, I'd appreciate if someone could direct me towards the right direction. Have I missed something? The title of the mission, err objective is "Mystery lake - Lower Dam". I'd presume that the objective computer monitor is on the "lower level"? 

Thanks in advance.
