Carcass Harvesting: 3 Cooking: 3 Fishing: 4 Sewing: 1 Fire Starting: 5 Gunsmithing: 2 Rifle Firearm: 5 Revolver Firearm: 3 Archery: 0 I mean, I live on a ranch in rural BC... and I started my first friction fire as a kid in Cub Scouts in the 70s so it's literally child's play to me lol Wasn't sure about revolver - I don't have one but I'm quite proficient with my Glock.

Yeah, I'll pass on drama. It's always all the same & life's too short. Thanks for the honest reply! 🙂

Place anywhere, Use The Worst First And Drop Stone, Look anywhere in cars, gear decay modifier Also Dev commands, because it saves my butt when I get stuck in terrain or some other glitch happens, so I can just fly out of it.

No! Not cobra chickens! Besides, they fly south for winter.

crafting: charcoal, cloth, tin can. Need to cut the tin can shorter & also poke holes in the bottom. So must have a toolbox? Or just a knife. (hacksaw can cut but not poke holes)

That would be awesome & sensible. Probably too late to make a change that big, though, but I, for one, would love it. Sensible realism.

Yeah, I'd prefer they make it so a 3 inch slab of ice isn't an insurmountable obstacle. 🤣

"Wherever I sat, there I might live, and the landscape radiated from me accordingly." "...a man is rich in proportion to the number of things which he can afford to let alone." "Our life is frittered away by detail." "Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in. I drink at it; but while I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is. Its thin current slides away, but eternity remains. I would drink deeper; fish in the sky, whose bottom is pebbly with stars. I cannot count one. I know not the first letter of the alphabet. I have always been regretting that I was not as wise as the day I was born. The intellect is a cleaver; it discerns and rifts its way into the secret of things. I do not wish to be any more busy with my hands than is necessary. My head is hands and feet. I feel all my best faculties concentrated in it. My instinct tells me that my head is an organ for burrowing, as some creatures use their snout and fore paws, and with it I would mine and burrow my way through these hills. I think that the richest vein is somewhere hereabouts; so by the divining-rod and thin rising vapors I judge; and here I will begin to mine." The book is a goldmine. The above are excerpts from the opening chapter only.

One of my favourite books.

Unsure. The thing is it also causes sweat, which cools you down after. Perhaps have your clothes get wet, too. (slower rate than in a snowfall) It's why layering is so important when surviving in the cold IRL. Sweat-dampened clothes is a major enemy which leads to freezing.

There's a mod that gives you this ability and once you've used it you can't go back. So weird to not have that ability in vanilla.

I like the newer textures better, honestly. I think they balanced "realism" with "TLD style" pretty much perfectly. An update to the older texture areas would be nice... but certainly not on my top 5 list, so no biggie.

(old post I know, but only saw it now) Different sites moderate differently, that would be a big reason for many. This place is more "clean" or more of a "safe space" where dissenting opinions too often get piled on & moderated away. On the other hand, Steam discussions can quickly become a cesspool. Middle ground is pretty much impossible to achieve, IME. But for those who don't want an echo chamber, alternatives will present themselves. I've found the Reddit TLD sub to be the best, overall. How's Lemmy, BTW? I dipped my toes in quite a while ago, but ended up using Mastodon instead. I agree about Reddit's trajectory, BTW, but none of the alternatives have become satisfactorily populated as of yet, IMHO.

Those are downhill ski boots. Cross country skis are where it's at, for The Long Dark. I live in very rural BC, and skis are very common here. Best way to get around the back country under your own muscle power. Here's my trusty pair:

awesome stuff, I did a much more rudimentary version of this myself, didn't quite complete it tho I'm surprised as well that nobody's yet done a more "professional" map yet. Great job!
