I can see the point of people complaining about not finding enough syrup, my first and longest save was created as soon as the update hit, I've found 4 bottles across six regions. Then I created another save and found locations with high probability of spawn chance for syrup and just did the grind. Not the most fun I've had in a saturday, if I'm honest. Still, it was cool to experience the game from a different perspective and I still got to do the loot and scoot, which I love. Thank you for organizing the event! 

Would you perchance be willing to share where you found the most syrup?

Well, it was a fun experience even though I could only play for a couple of days. Finally got both badges, the 25 day one was pretty quick to be earned and quite pleasing to strive for, I had a lot of fun fumbling with the weapons ( ended up forging a ton of arrowheads and reverting to the ol' trusty bow ) and travelling around.

EDIT: Multiple saves work just fine Maria, I don't think it's possible to find all 25 syrups in one game, given some of these are random spawn chances in containers. 

Thank you!

no, it does not!  in fact, it's not even possible!  The event was designed so that you must play multiple launches, hence Hinterland's statement that your stats were combined across multiple save games.  You still have a week to play if your so inclined.  If you do, I would humbly advise that areas like DP and TWM are very unlikely to have any syrup and a side trip into HRV will prove unproductive as well. (unless your inclined to retrieve the moose satchel.) 

If I could suggest a route, I would spawn CH and after looting the area, would go to BI via the ravine.  From the cannery I would proceed to BR via FM.  (only found chips in FM tbh, was a waste looking)  After looting the lodge and maint. yard, I'd head to Mountain town via FM.  Watch out for that moose in the basin.  Up the ropes to loot Milton and then back down as you head to ML.  ML to PV via the Winding River and that last dash to the farmhouse for a guaranteed find.    I ran this route but started in DP, I also scaled the heights and retrieved the satchel as my own personal side quest before finishing in TWM after scaling the summit.  In all my most thorough sweep and at best I found 11 bottles of syrup.  

Start that new one!  Have fun and Happy Syrup Hunting to you!

Thank you!

I don't think I'm gonna make it. I might get enough chips, but I've found less than 10 syrup, and the only places I haven't visited yet are Coastal Highway, Crumbling Highway, and Desolation Point.

Does it have to be in a single playthrough that you find 25 of each? Or can I start a new one?

3.We already have peaches, tomato soup, beans, etc. I think this could be cool, I'm all for variety, so simply adding new items for "variety" is good enough for me ^^ except when it's a pure evil food item like ketchup chips which hardly has any caloric value but tears your throat to shreds  but I personally can't think of a scenario where you would need to warm up, but coffee and tea is not appropriate. (except WE, maybe.)

Yeah, but cans are so dang heavy. A little back of soup sachets would be easy peasy to carry around

A naturally occurring coffee substitute that can be gathered like rose hips and mushrooms etc.

A way to preserve meat, such as smoking it to make jerky and drying fish to make dried fish, so its shelf life becomes much higher. You will eventually run out of forageable food and bullets/arrows to shoot wildlife.

Cup-o-soup packets. Not the kind that comes with the cup, but the kind that comes in little sachets to make instant 'broth'. Sometimes you want to warm up, but neither coffee or tea is appropriate.

One thing you'd need if you go sandbox and want to live as long as possible is a stable, long-term source of food. Wild animals, sure - down a bear and get 30kg of meat. But meat spoils.

If there was a thing to smoke meat or dry it so it's jerky, problem solved. Sure, it'll make you thirsty, but water in abundant as long as you have a fire to melt and boil it.
