I stand corrected.

Or, as we call them in Alaska: Snowmachines and 4-wheelers. I would like to see snowmobiles or ATVs parked outside houses somewhere. They should have a container in the backseat, similar to a glovebox. If the battery is harvestable, make it 1/4 of what a car battery is. It'd just be a nice addition to the realism of this game.

To answer the topic's title question: Yes.

Wolves will only eat uncured gut and cooked or raw meat you drop as a lure, and you have to do it properly (i.e. walking away while it's still trailing you). Meat left outside on its own will never be eaten by wild animals. Freezers indoors count as indoor container storage. Meat left in there will not spoil as quickly as meat left outside of a container, but it will spoil faster than meat being left outdoors on the ground or in a container. An outdoors container has the slowest decay rate, but once the food reaches 0% it will disappear if in a container. Meat left outdoors on the ground will not disappear. To my knowledge, storing meat outside does not attract predators. It is only when you're carrying meat that the scent aspect of the game comes into play.

When it comes to the revolver, make sure you're aiming, first (I know, but you'd be surprised). I generally have the target below the sight about 1/2 way. I've found it advantageous to crouch while using it to hunt wolves since they "smell" you and come toward you but don't attack until they get pretty close, giving you time to shoot them in the face-mouth. The Rifle is just about the same. However, your fatigue, body temperature, and skill level will play a role in how steady it is. Crouching is also a good method with the rifle as well. As with all things, practice makes perfect. I practiced on rabbits until I felt I "knew" where the sights were aiming. They don't go far and won't hurt you. It can be very difficult to hit a charging wolf if you're on uneven terrain or around obstacles. Try to avoid those situations. I hope this helps!

I just shoot them with arrows or a bullet. Stones takes too much time and they aren't very accurate, plus, you have about a 4 second window to pick them up before they run off. It gets frustrating. I'd rather use snares if they wouldn't eat up all the cured gut all the time.

It is because of the geomagnetic disaster happened that the endless winter is a direct result. How and why it happened is still a mystery. In order to get to a better climate, you'd have to leave Great Bear Island. I know it seems like something cool, but I don't personally think this will ever be a part of this game. Remember: The story mode is not yet finished and we do not know what's coming. Let them finish the story first, and let the devs come up with what to do next. Perhaps leaving GBI is part of it, perhaps not. We will see.

The only animal I'd want to see added and that would make sense to me would be Sea Lions. That would be assuming, of course, that GBI is on the west coast somewhere, also they would only be available on some maps. They'd be an excellent source of lamp fuel or quick calories (you'd have to cook down the blubber first), and meat (with parasites). You could bait them with raw fish. Other than that, I think that the wildlife in The Long Dark are reasonably balanced.

That's what I meant. At 0/120 means the recovery portion of the affliction was over. 120/120 would have meant no recovery had begun. I should post more often when I'm not tired

I was looking down while using auto-walk, and something caught my eye so I turned to look at it (I was instinctively holding W at that time, and released it to look). At least I yodeled like Goofy on the way down.

Ahh, I know this one. The 120 hours would have read 120/120 hours. It's a countdown. You've gotten the rest you need. You need to bandage and take painkillers again. Poof. Try this, and get back to me. I'm sure this is it (it takes 2 treatments of both for the initial injury).

@PrincessAutumn Quartering gives you 1 skill point per hour as does harvesting the meat. If you're doing 1kg at a time, then you won't see the skill icon until you pass that threshold. It is accumulative, the game does "remember" the time spent from previous harvesting. Mending works in a similar fashion. @Lamp Pole That's easy to mistake that, because that's how the cooking skill works. I don't blame you

What are you harvesting? You should be gaining 1 skill point per hour spent harvesting (which is why I like to use hands as often as I can early on).

I'm highly positive it's related to the synchronization. I just replaced my HDD, fresh install of Windows and everything else. I was still having the key-binding issue; The only thing consistent was the synchronization. This might only be a temporary fix, but it's worked for me thus far: 1. Turn of Sync in Steam for TLD only (Right-click the game title in your library, select "properties", change the tab to "Updates" and on the bottom there is a selection for synch. Make sure it's unchecked.) 2.Close Steam. 3. Restart Steam. Play TLD. 4. Make your key-bindings in the menu. Play the game, ensuring it saves(I just went out/indoors). 5. Quit the game. 6. Do the opposite of step 1. for Turning on Sync. (I still restarted Steam afterward, just because). 7. Play TLD without having to set your key-bindings again. Because this has worked for me is why I believe it's a synch issue.

I respect your ideas, but may I offer a little bit of criticism? The idea of Fire-starting 1 and 2 are that you're learning how to start fires, as it seems you've never really had to before. Using more tinder plugs shouldn't make much of a difference because if you can't get the flame to ignite the fuel in the first place, more tinder shouldn't offset that chance and give you more skill. Plus, we already have accelerant in-game. That being said: If we could break tinder down into kindling, we'd be talking about a better chance.

I would just like to mention, for posterity, that enabling and using the Auto-walk feature will indeed keep you moving slightly forward while you're turning and compensating for directional walking (i.e. strafing). I know because I fell off that rickety old wooden trestle, losing a 110 day run. I guess that's how you learn 😂.

I think it's time to revisit this suggestion. It's silly to me, being a person who has started many, many fires(in real life), to assume that one can achieve the same level of a successful fire without tinder. I might suggest a few things: Different tinder have different bonuses to the base level fire-starting chance. (i.e. plugs at 4%, cattail heads at 3%, birch bark at 2%. Newsprint, papers at 3%, newspaper roll at 5%, cash at 7% [It's gotta be worth at least *something* ]. Different tinder could have an added bonus to the fire's initial temperature. Tinder may be added to the fire for a small time bonus (1 min or so, for those wanting to grab a torch at 9m) This game is very immersive, but if we're striving for realism, I think this is one particular dynamic that could use a little love. Thoughts or criticism are welcome. *edit* I just want to specify that Fire-starting 1 and 2 would not be affected since tinder is required at these levels.

Could someone translate into English better than Google here? I'm not totally understanding what was said or what needed to be done, and I am sure the rest of us would appreciate it!

Honestly, I just stumbled upon the fix that worked for me. I'd suggest tweaking settings because that's how I came upon it. I'd love to, but I can't really help. The developers would be your best bet (before they go on vacation).

That sounds like a graphics card problem, honestly. Make sure that your drivers are up to date.

Short answer: No. Aurora wolves can be frightened by artificial light.

Glad I could be of assistance

@JaySovereign Unfortunately, there's nothing here in this particular thread that can help you. The best you can hope for is to contact Hinterland Support. Make sure to send them your session log file How to find your session log file and I've always found it helpful to send them your DxDiag file (if running windows) How to get your DxDiag file I wish you the best!
