No, I didn't have that bug. That would have been crazy hahah. I did have the brothless stew bug though. I normally play on Pilgrim so I'll have tons of cleaning kits and I never use the revolvers. I'll keep it on the back burner in case I want to keep a rifle in every 2-3 regions.

Good to know. Thank you I guess I won't bother searching for it later LOL.

If there is a variant down the passages, I missed it. Not too worried about it either. I have a variant rifle (Vaughn's), miner's flashlight and Sport Bow. The only variants that I am interested in is the Curator's Rifle, the Woodwright's Bow, and the Spelunker's Lantern. Perhaps when I do BE on my Custom, I'll take a closer look around, now that I know where to go. I won't waste any of the canisters.

I explored almost all of it. The only spots left unexplored are some of the passages to get to the control room. I doubt there is anything that is worth going down those passages for. I don't plan on leaving the Far Territory on this save, I'm going to go back to FA, and live on Drift Island until the next tale. So I don't plan on going to the other regions for canisters. However, I started up a Custom save. I'm going to do SV and BE again, but I will probably doing more exploring of Great Bear and start setting up safe house/caves.

I just got done of Buried Echoes. Hinterland, well done!!! The story was very engaging, There are parts of the mine I never explored just as I didn't want to waste the canisters I had found in the region. I have loot that is strewn about that I will need to collect and take back to FA. I can't wait to see the wrap up of this with the final Tale.

You can enable Scurvy on custom runs (even if you prefer Pilgrim) by your starting gear allocation. @Raphael van Lierop already mentioned that in the notes regarding the update. If you don't want scurvy in your custom run, set it to very high. If you do want scurvy, choose any other option. I think he also said they will update custom for adding the option for scurvy in the new year. The above is the work around. Hinterland may never add scurvy to existing games, which I am ok with. They need to do what works for them and not always what we want. They could have a million reasons and we will never know all of them. Which is fine. Also Raph has always been brutally honest. It's what I respect most about him. It may seem "unprofessional". I see it as a man who takes pride in the start up game developing company he started ( and it is no small feat to get to where Hinterland is now) and sometimes, having to constantly defend a choice can be aggravating. I don't fault him if he gets frustrated from time to time. He is only human after all.

They are also getting ready to wrap up for the holiday season. I'm in a position at my job where we are wrapping up for the holiday season. There is a lot to do and while we try to answer everyone, we can't always do so. Some things have to take priority to get it done in a timely matter.

I think if the new game mechanics are going to break the game or not able to be experienced at its fullest, I would rather start a new game. We had an overhaul of the save system, so I think that was 100% valid. (although on steam you still had access to them via the time capsule). I have 2 saves that are 100 Days and over 150 days. I don't get to play Scurvy on it and I am Not missing it at all. There is sooo much to Buried Echoes, I haven't noticed it NOT being there. I have a new Custom save ( a sort of Outer Pilgrim where it slowly gets colder over time). I have scurvy enabled, and I can only go inside the buildings at FA and BE to complete the quests + the bunkers. It's definitely a bigger thought process of managing my food resources. Quite frankly, the only thing I dislike is the flask in it's current state, and that is a very small, not even 1% of what we got in this update. I still haven't used the travois as yet, but being used to winters and pulling a sled behind me with people in it, sometimes you have to take a wide turn and can't go everywhere, without people getting out and picking it up. I see the travois as no different. Even when I finish the BE tale, I'll probably still want to stick around the transfer pass. I like it, it's different and I haven't even fully mapped out the map. Eventually I will head back to Lower Great Bear and settle down somewhere. CH is usually a go to spot for me, but I eventually plan to map out all of the regions fully. At the end of the day, while I may not always fully agree with what the devs have implemented, I appreciate all their efforts and we will never know 100% why something is not what we would want or expect. What I believe 100% is that game devs account for as much as they possibly can and some things get cut for X Y Z. It's still a damn good update, IMHO.

When I start a new save now, I tend to want to spawn in Forsaken airfield because I want to do signal void, and because of the quest to get the radio towers fixed and how long that takes, I go, repair the towers and come back. I haven't even finished looting any of the regions. Just where I made a pit stop. Now, after Signal Void is completed, I will want to go to Langston Mine. Maybe I will be more prepared than in my current saves, (one I made it to the Langston Mine 3rd floor and the other I made it to the huge building with the mine pit. Minimal chemical exposure,); that leaves me all of Lower Great Bear to loot and set up safe houses and survive. And yes I know they are working on if you completed SV you don't need to do it again, but I want to, FA is beautiful and vast. You can survive quite easily on Drift Island. Get the insulated bedroll and insulation and be on your way. Also I agree @Laika Ivanova, the Flasks definitely need an update. I would like to fill up the flask and drink out of it. It should be in the food part of the backpack, not the tools. I haven't had a chance to try the travois yet.

I love Forsaken Airfield. I could live forever at Drift Island if I so chose, especially as I heard that fish gives you Vitamin C. Normally when I get tired of a run, I will just run up the Summit in Timberwolf mountain and walk off LOL. Maybe I will journey to FA and live out the rest of the days dwindling down my food supplies. Nice and quiet. Then start a new save and start again. The new DLC, for me, breathes new life into the game. I already loved the game, but I like the idea of "side quests" and for them to be challenging. I just got done with my first play of ZC and it is pretty cool. I am in the "safe zone" and made it to Langston Mine. There are a lot of nooks and crannies and forks in the road. I feel as if I have only scratched the surface and can't wait to explore the map in its entirety.

Right. Lol. I also noticed that the kg was double the amount. It's 1.60kg. Also I realized it was not indefinitely, but .01 kg gets used up. However .8L still shows. I wonder what happens when it says 0kg and .8L lol. This also only happened on my new custom save. My saves before the update don't have the bug.

I just found a new favorite bug in my game (and yes I did report the bug). I have 1 .8L of Broth in my inventory. I've made at least 6 stews and still have .8L of Broth. The meat and Flour gets used up correctly. It's not the worst bug in the game to have. It was on a new custom save I started haha. Just found out I can drink the broth indefinitely as long as I have hunger. LOL

I was setting this up in Stream labs and I often use StreamElements for my alerts, however for whatever reason, I can not upload the sound to use as an alerts, so I am using Streamlabs. Which is fine as I have the TLD streams all set up on different scenes. It looks fantastic. I loved playing around with it to get everything set up.

Just found my first Insulated Flask on my custom Save. Lets Goooo! I added the Location as a spoiler, in case you don't want to be spoiled

Had a chance to play for a bit. Decided to restart my custom save so I can experience Scurvy on at least one game and I was checking out the foods that have vitamin C. Sardines have a Minor Vitamin C and I HATE Sardines. Doesn't matter what condition I get them in, there is a 80% chance I will get food poisoning. (worst RNG luck). Now I need to factor them into my diet bruhhhhh. Other than that loving the new animations for harvesting and first person POV with the gloves and sleeves. I'll properly play my save that finished signal void over the weekend when I have time. But very excited to do a deep dive in.
