with the new update brought my renewed interest with the long dark , the two new items the backpack and crampons ,I thought where I should start to obtain these items the most direct route but that was easy and nothing should be easy in the long dark so I decided to start on the opposite end of the map and work my way towards my treasure , this was not easy my experience with the long dark proved not enough with the closest I got being Timberwolf mountain before a series of unfortunate events left me without clothes and sleeping bag , if you can do this on voyager are harder lemme know
Another addition, some way to dry or preserve meat maybe they could add salt for drying meat and either let you make jerky which keeps longer but makes you more thirsty or smoke meat with a lot of wood would make hunting more useful since meat wouldn’t be ruined after a few days
To start a single shot .410 would be cool not a death machine but still could be used to collect birds and the birds could be give meat and feathers
also I’d use bows more if maple saplings were more common
It really did but it makes sense they added crampons for one it’s a staple item in freezing environments such as Canada ,two I actually used a pair of crampons recently to get down some frozen wood steps
If it breaks the mechanic it’s a stupid mechanic if common sense negates it also it could have problems such as inability to use ropes or run
Multitool could act as a knife and basic tools but degrade much faster so it’s a light temporary alternative
The long dark specifically states don’t use anything you learn in the game for actually trying to survive ,but that shouldn’t stop interest in learning the game teaches basic things like weight management, the importance of fire , the importance of proper clothing and what supplies you might need . I’m not saying go off with a hatchet and some matches in the woods but maybe instead go down a survival rabbit hole and watch several videos and maybe read some books then maybe you can’t gear up and survive a real winter or just enjoy the nicer months
To start off a sled basic plastic or wooden one it’s purpose is to move more supplies then you could carry it would slow you down a bit bit could carry food or water maybe other supplies.next would be a shotgun simple pump action or double barrel for hunting crows or rabbits maybe it could also scare off wolves or maybe a musket that could fire a rock . a multitool that could act as simple tools and a knife but degrade faster .more packs like a hiking pack or hunting pack maybe craft able like the moose bag .maybe something to do during survival like make a wooden cabin simple structures like cabins or lean toos the cabins could be permanent and allow the player to have a little bit of customization
