  1. Greetings everyone, I'm the person that wrote a post complaining about the cooking system and the unskipable sensitivity screen which I'm still surprised players defended aparently to keep it pas it was: unskipabble. However, despite the most recent updates I believe the right thing to do is to post a follow up y thanking Hinterland for listening!

    1. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR GIVING US THE OPTION TO SKIP THE SENSITIVITY SCREEN!! Nuff said. Thank you. Thank you!!

    2. Dropping 0% status cooking items - still - appears to be a viable method for providing options for players that wish to use them. So, for stalker, I was able to gather enough materials in Milton's Town, Gas Station and Paradise Meadows Farm. While the 0% status are still an issue for storing them in cointainers, I hope the devs allows us to continue making these dishes even with 0% status items, which is the point of it all: to have fun with the game. I understand that some people may try to spoil the enjoyment for others by complaining about being able to cook 0% status goods, but remember that this is a game that we are supposed to enjoy and have fun with. If you don't like a feature, don't make it unavailable to others. At least I can see all my loot and know I can use the DLC and enjoy exploring.

    - Thank you Hinterlands for listening!

    Sure thing, tomorrow's morning I'll fill it. Thank you very much for taking the time to check on this! 

  4. I think the "improved cooking system" was intended by the developers for players with 1 - 50 survival days. However, many devoted players have 100-500 survival day sandboxes like us. I know it's survival, but it's also a game where you can have fun and appreciate the features. I believe we all would be benefitted from reasonable and slow decay rates for these ingredients (its also in winter so cold temperature may help to it...?).

    It's quite ironic to design a promising cooking system but not being able to use entirely with 0% decay because  its a survival game .

    They did mention that they'll be changing and polishing the cooking system along the way, maybe that will be one of those things

    However,  I never store food in boxes anyway, so it doesn't disappear and I can eat once I've reached level 5 cooking.   

    This is a huge relief since the developers designed a fairly innovative system that is much too excellent to not take advantage of. Perhaps, unknowingly, they have begun something that will considerably improve The Long Dark's crafting and culinary systems...? That would be really encouraging!

    I think we can all agree that the addition of an optional button to bypass the screen would be a huge quality of life improvement, even if we don't need to engage in pointless virtue signaling about how necessary the disclaimer is, we all know its important and is there for a reason. The suggestion - and reason of why I started this post - is to provide insights on the importance to have options: which is a "press any button to continue" option, or at least make it such that hitting Esc or Space allows us to bypass it.

    I think the time between "start the game and being ready to play" is a significant aspect in most games nowadays.

    In short

    1. The disclaimer is important, just allow us to skip it please with a player action like: "Press any button to continue", please!

  8. I don't want to be forced to see the whole messages each time I start my sessión. We need to have the option to skip the message the same way we can skip the legal advice. That allows Hinterland to cover their legal obligations and we have the option to skip those messages, it gets annoying and incredibly time-wasting.

  9. Survival Stalker, 150 days survived. 

    Greetings everyone. Thank you for this DLC update.

    • I'm concerned that many ingredients I've found are at 0% RUINED state making them unable to store them in containers since the game deletes them automatically, Is it possible to change the probability of finding them at between 50% to 75% in a future hotfix, I believe this will make the feature more approachable ?
    • I'm also worried the long term sustainability of this improved cooking feature since many ingredients are non renewable and depend solely of looting, so in a way perhaps we have a very limited amount of tasty food to create, they also weight quite a lot combined together. Perhaps a future "ingredient pouch" feature could be used to provide around 2 kg extra space for food ingredients ? We all know we'll use that extra space for extra cooked food in the end hey at least the idea is there.

    Thank you very much for your time reading.
