You judge everyone by the way you play, for 400 hours of my playthroughs I haven't touched any setting myself, my friend sets the settings, the challenges and then sends me a code, I never look to see what settings she chose I even avert my eyes when I press confirm so I can't know the top settings and that is how I love to play, is it really that wrong that I it is annoying that my achievements in game only show 2 feats ? when I have fought through challenges most haven't from midnight starts with blizzard and no equipment, to endless dark all set by someone else so I only discovered what I was facing by playing for over 400 hours. Even though I would love to get the feats and see them as a badge of honor, I can't play the normal versions I find them way too predictable and easy.

I have 5 hours in standard survival but 500+ in custom much harder versions and thus only one feat apart from the darkwalker. No progress in feats is kind of lame.

I now play only custom survival games which my friend sets up for me, she changes all the settings to challenge me then sends me a code, I put the code in press confirm + random and experience a whole new adventure without knowing what I am facing this time. I stream all my TLD playthroughs (disabled and multiple mental health issues meaning I can only game if my mind is focused on a stream) so people get to see I never check the settings. She may have removed pistol, lowered regen, increased cold. It isn't evil because it is always balanced. in some way or other. Yes most playthroughs start at midnight with a blizzard and not even a lighter or bedroll but she will usually set the loot to maximum so I get rewards if I make it to a house or cave. Sometimes she sets it to endless night, first time was hilarious, I battled through a blizzard in coastal highway, ended up in a house and thought, no light I will just stand here in the doorway and rest till morning but no morning came and I had no light! Other times she made animals be passive but never told me and I never figured it out because who gets close enough to wolves or bears for them to run away from you! This last time is the best currently on day 86 I think, I started the playthrough and found some rifle and pistol bullets, I was sooo frikken happy after all she usually removes one or the other I never get both rifles and pistols in my games, so I am thinking to balance this how fcuked am I what did she decide for me to balance this, then I noticed, I hadn't seen a rabbit, come to think of it I hadn't seen or heard a wolf or deer, and she starts laughing in stream on chat knowing I just figured out she removed all animals from fish to moose no animals at all, now that might sound easy mode until you realise most of my playthroughs revolve around sustainable food fishing or hunting. Limited supply of guts and deer hide from carcases found so sustainable clothing of highest tier is problematic, then I say hmm okay looks like its cattails and she shows me the wiki excerpt showing that cattails don't respawn, oh and she added I found out later, world getting colder over time, 0 regen ability (28 days in I still had damage from that first night) birch bark works but pixels of health at a time and.... cabin fever.. I am bloody well loving it After 500+ hours in game having her help me like this keeps the game so fresh.

Did my normal afternoon TLD stream I do every afternoon (my go to game for relaxing fun that can turn intense) I made it to the Bleak Inlet/outlet Tower area, fought off the Timber Wolf group there just about, set up camp in the tower spent 3-4 days then I wake up and hear Timber Wolves squealing like they are being threatened and I see this glowing green wolf/wolverine chasing the Timber Wolves around and they were scared. Here is the clip.

Hello all my suggestion Expand the custom options to allow for something like the Darkwalker as in if the aurora appears at night something could be out there and begin hunting you, the big difference being it only lasts for that night you could make it more difficult for yourself by increasing frequency of the aurora and chance of this thing hunting you.
