Very much agree to give each can more use. I think it's ten sprays? Not to argue realism, but it's a bit off. I like the cans so far though, shame they'll decay.

I actively dislike that soundtrack. Did they add the music to Survival in the recent patch?

They decade slow but I still find it meaningless that they do. I think it's 1% per 8 days on Interloper. I have to unload a few shells now since they're about to decay.

But shells sticking to a target is bugged anyway.

Zing, the recent patch fixed this issue for me. Was afraid I had to do it all over again on a fresh save. Thanks, HL.

I think the rock caches are tremendously useful for storing things where there are no containers.  I'm thinking specifically of when I spend weeks at a time in Hushed River Valley.  Sometimes there is a container in the form of a box, backpack, or corpse in a cave that I use as a base, but often there isn't or it doesn't have much capacity.  Now I can build some rock caches to store my things instead of scattering them all over the cave floor.

Regarding flares, I've been testing them recently.  It looks like flares lose 1% every 6-8 days, give or take, so it will take a while before they're useless (unless the rate of decay increases over time).  As @Gun Tech. said, the flare inside a flare pistol does not seem to lose condition.

Mm, I didn't think about that, it's nice to have a place where there's no containers where I can store things. I just want there to be more utility tied to it, not just aesthetic and organization.

Flare shells decay fast? I feel silly now, I hadn't noticed at all.

By the way I think I saw Atheenon testing the decay rate of meat inside it. It doesn't appear to decay, which I doubt is intentional. Sadly if it is unintentional, and it gets patched, it doesn't make the caches particularly useful. Unless they help slow decay rate on a multitude of items, they are without a real use.

I actually emailed them about this and it is indeed intended. "Clearly you have an eye for detail. With the addition of a Faithful Cartographer checklist and our mapping updates, we also decided to remove the location trigger text from locations with duplicate names. This just cleans up the map a bit, and you can still view the location name by mousing over the associated icon."

My problem is now that I started Faithful Cartographer before the update and was mapping both location triggers and icons. Then the update came and with it a checklist for 'surveyed locations' (you can find under Journal -> Collections). I now have 194 out of 191 locations and no achievement.... Emailed support but haven't heard back yet.

That is ... concerning. I have over 200 locations mapped. Out of like 191 possible lol. It might be impossible to complete it on old saves, then.

One last thing I haven't tried is going to every region and mapping them once, ones that I completed before the update.

Reposting from a different thread, I am having the exact same issue that Fifty is -- it appears that this patch, location triggers don't appear in places where there is also an icon. I say this patch, because I have locations from before the current patch with both icon and location trigger - but newly mapped locations post-patch, they simply don't appear.

Now, this is either a bug related to the new mapping mechanics, or Hinterland consolidated the icon and trigger locations into just the icon. But I doubt it's the latter, because there are still many places that still have both. And also, Hinterland would surely put that in the patch notes.

I'd appreciate any and all help, but right now, I simply think location triggers are broken.
