If you have a knife or some kind of cutting tool, you could take a thick piece of wood and cut a circular hole in it. Then, with a smaller piece of wood you can 'pry' it in that small hole. Then using your palms to spin the wedged piece of wood back and forth, the friction will eventually cause a fire. This method is used by natives people in Indonesia (learned this studying archaeology lol)

There's some love here for the Hydro dam. I made this post because I remembered that in the Hydro dam many years ago when I first started playing it really creeped me out. And in the corridor leading down I was attacked by a wolf. For years I always thought I assumed I either imagined it or it was a glitch. Recently I discovered that wolf is called Fluffy (I think) and has since been removed from the Dam. But alot of players discussing this wolf all say how creepy the Dam is. I definitely agree. But the MT big house is still the eeriest. It just looks like a cliche haunted house and not having the old woman there in survival is even eerier. Also I think the Hunter's lodge in BR is creepy with the empty bedrooms and the rocking chair

What place would you consider to be the creepiest/scariest place to be in TLD? I think for me it's the old woman's big house in Mountain Town. A desolate town with a big house overlooking is eery!

Wait you can harvest a rabbit from the floor? I thought you could only pick up rabbits? What's the difference between harvesting on floor and inventory?

I like knowing I'm not the only one who makes dumb moves. Here's my latest dumb move: Got caught in a blizzard when doing an overnight ice fishing expedition in the hut, north side of forsaken airfield by the cabin. Blizzard was facing my entrance so the windchill was affecting me. I was still warm, but I panicked (as Forsaken airfield has notoriously long blizzards) and tried to work out if I had enough fuel to last. On the worst half of my judgement I decided I did not, and my best would be to try and make it back to the cabin. It's a simple diagonal left from the hut to the stairs, follow the stairs to the small cave and you're there. Well, silly me forgot that there were 3 wolves circling nearby. I also forgot to drump my fish in the drawers and so I had 3 scent bars. Wolves were in my way and began stalking. Safe to say it did not take long for me to get lost. Freezing, blind, lost and stalked I was eventually attacked and fought off a wolf. My coats scared the other 2 away after my struggle (lucky me). Damaged my bear coat though! (😔). Dropped my fish, ran, hid behind a tree as I had ended up going in the opposite direction. Slept in my bearskin with a fire safe from the wind behind a tree for 1 hour. Woke up to sunrise, blizzard gone, and my ice fishing hut fire still burning. I should have been more patient 😂

Awesome. That's good to know. Thanks

From 45% it would make sense to use the repair option. However mine was on 23%. So harvesting and then creating a new roll was more efficient in terms of the condition. The 17 hours crafting time with a hunting knife is the trade off though

I'm 155 days into a custom run. Close to gunloper, I'm playing with no rifle and only a permitted revolver spawn. I have settings balanced between stalker and interloper. My baseline spawn allows for hatchets and knives too. My question is am I getting unlucky with clothing spawns or do certain clothing items not spawn with my settings? I have found snow pants, but I am after the Cowichan sweater, wool longjohns and Mukluks *spoilers for new DLC region below* I have found thess three items exploring the new airfield region in my voyageur run, two of them as loose items. Is clothing RNG as a loose item? My settings: Baseline resources: medium (to allow for knives, hatchets etc ..) Loose items: low Empty container: med Main explored regions: Coastal Highway Desolation Point Mystery Lake Forlorn Muskeg Mountain Town Broken Railroad Forsaken Airfield (And obviously the smaller connecting regions between these.) I am returning from the airfield now and going to head to pleasant valley next. Is it possible to even find these with my settings?

Yeah this happened to me with painkillers just now. Went from roughly 30% down to 2%. I rarely use painkillers anyway so hasn't bothered me too much. Also, in regards to the bearskin bedroll (most players probably know this already) I was only able to repair 55% with 1 cured hide. However, harvesting the bedroll gave me a bear skin hide and therefore I harvested and made a fresh bedroll to 100%. Useful tip for b.s. bedroll players to save some hide

I know this is an old thread but just want to inform people this issue still exists. *slight spoilers for bear skin bed roll location below* On your way to the new Airfield region you can find yourself a bearskin bedroll. I found it at roughly 49% condition if I remember properly. I have been in the airfield for a few days now and I hunted a bear to repair the bed roll. Using it for an in game week took it down to 35%. I accidentaly left my bed roll outside overnight and came back in the morning and it is down to 22%. It lost 13% overnight just being left on the floor. I love the bearskin bedroll but it is truly troublesome to use. Not even sure if this hide will repair it enough to make it worthwhile as I my bearskin coat has just hit 90% and I have had that for over an in game month! That being said, the new region is really cold and blizzards last a long time and are frequent. I'm sure the bearskin bed roll will come in clutch to interloper players as on my custom (between stalker and loper) temps at this region have been as low as -51°c

Quick update on the moose: Was preparing to leave BR when the moose spawned on the pond. I killed him first time (arrow to the head on the charge) and claimed a juicy 40kg of meat and that luscious hide! I also managed to kill the BR bear by using the ledge by the climbing area to shoot down, using scent to attract him over. I am now rich in meat and hide and it is very peaceful here now. Next step: on to explore the new far range territories

I saw a moose early in my game at the gas station in CH. I wonder if this is why? Looks like I'm heading back that way then. Thanks

Hello survivors. I am currently in Broken Railroad and have a temporary base at hunter's lodge. To the north of H. Lodge by the collapsed trees, rabbit grove and cave, there is a tree with moose markings. I really want to hunt him for the satchel as the moose hasn't spawned in ML for me. Trouble is, despite the markings, there is no moose. What gives? I have followed the path, crossed the rickity foot bridge and got to the climbing area that overlooks the maintenance shed. No moose. I know there is a bear below hunters lodge on the pond, but there is also a large number of wolves so I havent checked down there yet. However, where does the moose 'usually' spawn at BR if the markings are north of the lodge?

Wait animals can bury themselves in this game?? Also I checked his den, nothing but bones. I admitted defeat and moved on. Haven't seen him for a few days, presumably dead somewhere

Interestingly the stats say I killed him. Damn. I searched everywhere from the pond, to the logging site and even eastwards back towards the camp office. I listened for the crows, but only found the corpses I've already looted. I feel like I've reconstructed the relationship of Scipio and Hannibal with this bear; the numerous battles fought and lost on both sides that gave eachother their respect
