Peach Jam (Pinnacle Peaches + Any Soda + Pot + Fire): Grants a whopping 1000 calories and hydrates you. If it maxes out your hunger and thirst more of it remains. The soda itself acts as the sugar that turns it into jam. Long as your peaches and soda aren't at 0% condition the jam starts out at 100%. PB&J Crackers (Peach Jam + Peanut Butter + Salty Crackers): Grants a whopping 3000 calories and hydrates you. If it maxes out your hunger and thirst more of it remains. Starts out at 100% condition no matter what condition the other food starts out as unless it's 0%. Also grants the Fatigue Reduced buff like from coffee.

If you're playing on Interloper it's a pretty big risk especially when your game auto saves when you get a sprain. Sometimes I do it and still get a sprain when I hop off a small incline at the end as if the game was counting and adding all my small hops down so you're kind of cheesing it but cheesing has it's big risks. It's a good pay off but also high risk. I would say it's basically a skill with high risk vs. safety down rope. Also you're going down not up. Going up wastes a lot more energy than going down. Going down hardly saps away your energy in comparison. The only time you would make a quick decision to drop down as safely as possible is if you are encumbered, can't use the rope due to sprains, too tired or there is no rope and you have to run through the entire map to find one. Don't want the game suddenly becoming more restrictive. There are places you can't slowly cheese climb down either.

So is coffee, tea and soda but it doesn't have that effect in the game. Studies also show beer rehydrates the body more than water. https://www.backpacker.com/news-and-events/hallelujah-beer-hydrates-better-than-water/

After you cook tea, soup, or peaches they get warm. Add a thermos into the game. Thermos can keep liquids hot for longer (maybe 2 hours) allowing you to get a quick heat pick up that warms you up and protects you from the cold. There are two types of thermos. Thermos: A lootable item found throughout the game. Keeps any liquid stored in it hot for 2 hours Fur Thermos: A craftable thermos. Requires 1 rabbit hide and 2 guts. Keeps any liquid stored in it for 2 hours

I miss my Interloper save. Had an abundance of bear meat and was making arrows at Desolation Point. Not sure if I can reach that point again.

How are they going to fit Methuselah, Donner, Mathis, Astrid and everyone else into this one episode. It will just end up really convoluted.

Based on the interaction between Will and Astrid. Will asked "Still trying to save the world?" and Astrid answers "Someone has to" which Will becomes defensive and asks "What's that supposed to mean?" During the interaction Will said "Astrid you can't bring him back." Likely their child was gone. And judging by the broken picture of them and specifically on the child that was between them it's possible Will did something or failed to do something that may have caused them to lost their child or something worst. This could have caused the falling out between them. EDIT: Okay lot of things I'm figuring just from Will and Astrid's interaction. Astrid mentioned something getting worst and that's why she was in a hurry, Will believed she wasn't talking about the weather when she said that. This could be a couple of things. -Astrid is sick and can't live long -She's talking about the geomagnetism -More people will die. I feel the answers about the geomagnetism and what's going on with the aurora and crazy weather are found in Astrid and the suitcase. Methuselah seems to know a bit about it as well.

Not sure if the Airfield part of the expansion is part of a military base but I find it weird there's MRE packages out there.

Just focus on making more episodes for Wintermute

All that is part of the game. If you mean fast travel for Wintermute it would have to be part of the story otherwise no. Fast travel ruins immersion too fast and this game is about making choices whether you want to be weighed down and move slow but have many supplies or moving fast leaving behind supplies and onlly bringing the ones you really need.

Because that would be lame. There's too many questions and lots of interesting characters. Of course it's not important that the questions are answered but you need to give more depth into all the characters like the woman who's husband died, blindmother, the guy who wanted you to kill the bear and has a long vendetta against it, Astrid, where ever Astrid ended up at, Mathis, Donner, the preacher man, Methuselah, the environmental activists. How are you going to cram all that into one episode. Episode 5 was solely focused on the prison arc and honestly no complaints here, enjoyed it quite a bit but feel the others need their own episodes. If they do try and cram it into one episode it's going to be a complete mess and very unenjoyable. If they only few of them it really leaves out a lot of them.

I honestly thought that phone call was a bug. It was scary and I like it that way. Guess I wasn't hearing things

I'm carrying tons of cloth. On my way to the technical backpack I started out with 70 pieces of cloth. Now I'm down to 30-40. There's hardly any cloth in Ash Canyon so I'm thinking is my next stop Blackrock or should I traverse through Pleasant Valley (I already went through there). Timberwolves on Interloper sounds like suicide. I have some snow shelters pre-built around Timberwolf Mountain so if I make my way slowly I can use them to shimmy down to Pleasant Valley. But the big issue is lack of food. I haven't sawed off the container just below the wrecked airplane that is on the way down to the cabin but what if I find no food there. I suppose I can catch the rabbits around. My condition is about 70-80% right now. I have maybe 3-4 food right now and I'm at the mines of Ash Canyon with the backpack. Bit cornered here. However if I make my my to Blackrock I might find something there since I never searched it out. There are plenty of cars in Blackrock. I'm thinking that would sort of protect me from timberwolves. I have about 2 flares (blue and red). The path to Pleasant Valley from Ash Canyon is pretty far. I might do better going to Blackrock now that I think about it.

Beer could get you drunk but offer a lot of calories and hydration. There is already a kind of drunk effect you get when you're low on condition. Can get that same effect even at full condition if you get too drunk. Chicken noodle soup is eaten when you have the cold so maybe it can recover Hypothermia. But it's a bit salty so it might not offer much hydration

You should be able to gain few bits of meat off the wolf that you can take to cook.
