It is much easier to make ordinary coffee or to kill a deer or rabbit.  The hassle of carrying a heavy hammer halfway across Great Bear and collecting, cooking, cracking, grinding etc. is very bad use of time when similar results can be obtained with little effort.  It makes me think of that useless aurora flashlight.

Yup.  I usually have a home base with a hammer. i bring the acorns there and make it in my free time.  but you are right, not entirely worth it. 

Collect enough acorns to make Large Portions.  use that too eat, or grind for "acorn tea".  Large portions only take a couple minutes after the initial small portion is made.   -- Comes in handy on Loper, and just a perf for every other mode. 

A few new screenshots from this last week.

"The moose is back ... oh no, it's a bear" .  Definitely my favorite  

I'll be checking in on this. 

I was just messing about building a campground at Trappers Cabin. Got a cool shot during a storm. And I made a little landscaping adjustment to welcome new visitors.

it would likely need to be a game with Birch bark and health Regen disabled so people will actually die

this is a great idea. 

it took me about 10 runs before i made it past day 10. i feel im pretty knowledgeable with the maps and terrain, but not so much the spawns. 

on my current run, i am at day 17. i have a knife, hatchet and arrows made. waiting on the bow. 

i struggled with the cold at first, but that is the most important. ive spent entire days just collecting sticks and firewood ao i can have a full sleep fire outdoors. 

once you can safely get established (without frostbite) i heard it gets a bit easier to plan out strategies. 

im hoping to get my bow soon, and start a long journey of interloper. 

many of you are probably familar with the show Alone, or other shows where a group of people try to OUT survive each other. 

since this a single player game, would it still be feasible to have a tournament set up by hinterland where the challenge is ramped up and anyone interested can join in?  

obviously there would need to be "dates and times to participate" so everyone has the same playtime. 

thoughts?

I do not think this is an "issue" to be addressed. The player should be paying attention to what they are doing.

so for me... Tents or Improved Snow-shelters?  No thank you.

The current snow shelter, on all modes except for interloper, are fairly warm or safe. I would mind the "look" of a tent or upgraded shelter, but without the temperature differences. Which then goes into the "why make a change that doesnt actually change anything". 
But could you imagine a tent in this photo .... it would complete it. 

Good old sunday mornings.

I saw a post in the survival subforum where a new member posted a question about wolves attacking while in a fishing hut.  I thought the question was pertinent and clearly worded, so tried to bump up his reputation by 1.  I left clicked the '+' button next to his reputation, but nothing happened.  I was logged in, so don't know why that didn't work.  I think I've used that method before, but my memory is fading.  So, how does one bump up the reputation of a fellow forum member?

 

This is the button you are looking for

the next best thing, the blinds are cool. 15 sticks, 5 cloth to get started .... and 1 stick a day to maintain them. I sleep outdoors, next to my cabin until I NEED the cabin.

Did you never play before episode 3?

no. i started when it released on game pass. and fell in love. 

Thanks for the event. I had a good time chasing down syrup.  The only changes to the event I would have made are:
1. Allow players to adjust difficulty (harder) 

2. More chance of syrup spawns for those who want to try and get the syrup in 1 run. 

Otherwise, loved trying to stay warm.

Interesting, has that been in recent months (and even when there is no door)?  Ever since I got wrecked in a fishing hut once some years ago I stopped thinking of them as a haven (unless it had a door).

If so, I might have to start up a quick stalker run just to test. 

you no what, i didnt pay attention to if it had a door or not (i definitely didnt close the door) but i do tuck myself as far back as possible. 

I searched the forums but could not find a topic on this, so I'm starting one. 

Having spent 300 days on my Main Survival game, I'm finding myself just bored doing the same routine day in and day out. I like to make bases, and after discussing with a streamer, the idea of Displayable Collectibles came up. We already have collectibles (notes, polaroids, etc) and it would be cool if we could display them. or create trinkets, or make things in the houses "movable" so we can personalize out little homes.

Hi everyone, I´m a web designer, in mi free time, I usually play pcgames, i found this page because i want to play this game and I hope you can help me if I need, thank you sou much and have fun

100%. I've received and also given as much help as i can. its a good community 

I've shot bears & wolves and they have chased me down to the cabin, but once i step inside they just go away. 

Trying the challenge to collect computer messages, making my way to the lower dam, during an aurora, i thought, surely i have enough health and meds to get a burn and live. I didnt.

Why meat decays at all in TLD is a mystery to me. I would just change it so it only decays if say it's in a warm house.

That being said, I would totally be behind making meat harder to get in the first place. I want starvation to be a threat.

interloper?
