Camp office/Lonely lighthouse and the pleasant valley farmhouse. As much as the farmhouse and just pleasant valley overall has killed me, I have to say If it were in a nicer region it would be 10/10 but it just couldnt go in another region. Camp office is there because it is just the place to make a base.

Awesome, truly creative and cool. Thank you!

Hmm, Good Idea. If you used cured leather for the pouch and guts for the elastic, as well as a strong wood like reclaimed wood or lot's of sticks, maybe something cured like maple? And it could launch rocks making getting bunnies easier? Personnaly, I think itd be a bit of a player convince, so it couldn't apply to the rabbit challenge where you have to throw the rock from far away and kill it.

Good, I play on xbox to, have done for 3 years. hardly a veteran compared to the people playing since 2014, but i know and love the old open menu music. I hope you do too!

Did you never play before episode 3?

I would like to see whiskey that provides a ten minute warmth bonus and a headache the after the next time you go to bed and if you drink more than half the bottle, your vision goes all saturated, like when you have an energy drink.

It's been said time before and time again. I'd love to find a wounded dog in the outbuildings near the Pleasant Valley farmstead, Or outside a fishing hut in mystery lake, or the lake overlook cave next to the corpse? You could put dead rabbit corpses in the area as evidence of the dog being able to eat meat and drink blood to stay alive. You would need to gain it's trust, of course. A piece of meat for any animal handed directly to the dog? Breed wise, It would have to be a dog know for strength. I'm not talking about a Jack Russel or Spaniard, I mean a big dog. The Siberian husky, a dog know for surviving the harsh snowy conditions of the mountains. You'd have to feed and water it of course, With a not-so-new item, Dog food! Or steaks of meat, and water from a can etc. Practical purpose? Could hunt rabbits for you and bark at bad weather incoming. (It'd have to be a different bark to the wolf bark, that'd be confusing.) When you find it injured, you would need antiseptic and bandages. It'd take a few day's to earn it's trust. A "Dog bonding" Skill? Yes please. It's body would change if it went a day without food, it'd whine and not be able to run as fast as rabbits, so it couldn't catch them, and making the player feed it to restore it's practical purpose. Without water for to long, it'd pant and whine, not move and the nose would be a visibly lighter and dryer colour. That's all, Folks! - Zaccoboy

This is about two members of the riken, and what happens after the ship crashes. Enjoy! This is part 1, more parts to come. The Crew Of the Riken The boat crashed a few days ago. Once those lights started, we couldn’t keep the boat at a safe distance from the ice. We came to a grinding halt, and I and the other crew heard the wolf’s howls from the forest ahead. I headed down to see if there were any serious fractures to the hull. I was to say the least, surprised at what I saw. There was a huge hole, made by god knows what. The Captain came down the stairs. “The emergency phones dead, we’re gonna have to sleep here.” So, we did. It was cold due to the huge breach in the side of the boat, but we managed. Day Two Due to the Phones being out, the Captain sent out myself and the first mate, Ron. I’d know this guy for a few months, he was nice. In the distance, we see a lighthouse. We scale the snowy ledge and arrive on the road, following it until we turn into the lighthouse. We knock on the door. We get no response, so we knock louder. Nothing. Noticing the door is unlocked, we head inside. There is nobody to be seen, but it’s a nice place. We have a look around to make sure there is nobody, and we head upstairs. There is a little blue bed, with something under the pillow. Ron looks and shows me what he found. It’s a Smith & Wesson, of sorts. “ We should keep this, for the wolves.” I agree, as I find a box of ammo. We loot the place, find some food and bottled water, so we head back to the ship. On our way back, we see a bridge, and it looks like a truck is under it. We also see a moose from the bridge, it looked agitated, so we left it alone. It’s eerily silent on the way back. I feel like somebody, or something is watching us. We see Davey, but he isn’t moving. Is that blood?! Then, I hear something. A bear roars, and I, alarmed, turn and shoot the thing. It leaps at me, and I drop the gun. Ron grabs the gun, and shoots it twice in the head. It falls off me in a heap. We suddenly realize we need proper shelter, not a boat with a hole in it. After piling up furniture at the breach, we go around the ship, looking for the crew. Those bastards ran away, left us. We eat a can of pork and beans, finished with hot peaches, heated on the ship's boiler. ( It still had a little heat.) Day Three We drink a little water, and set out. We head on the road, noticing the whaling facility a mile or two out. We head left, back to the lighthouse. It is once again empty. We follow the road around a corner, and we see a church. We hear a whimper from inside. Heading in, we see that it must have just been the wind, because the place is deserted. Against the wall is a rifle, a cleaning kit, and ammo. Jackpot. After that bear encounter, we gladly take the gun. We then see something horrifying. A frozen corpse. It has a shooting book on it that we loot. Feeling bad, We bury him behind the church. Poor fella. There is another bottle of water, and a makeshift bed. We also find a chocolate bar that we half and eat. By now it’s midday, so we follow the road. As, we follow the road, we find ourselves back by the bridge.

Whenever I'd go and search 'mystery lake map' I'd get an outdated one from 2017, without the destroyed lookout and proper scaling. I pretty much know how to get around mystery lake from the camp office to almost anywhere now. But it's also in regions like coastal highway witch I have less experiance in. Anybody know where I can find these 2020 maps?

Happy new year and a thanks to all hinterland staff. -Zac

Cheers!

I defo have seen a chocolate bar in a visor, 7 to 8 months ago.

Wowzers.

Hey there, I'm new here, but not new to the long dark, I've been playing for quite a while. I came to have a look at new suggestions and tips for the game. - Zac

I think a packet of pasta should be a new food item to provide about 350-450 calories. It would have the "Warming Up" effect. It would need a pan to be boiled in, though, I reckon a can couldn't fit a packet of pasta. What do you think?
