Semple Fi

admin jumped in to a previous post about items to add during the Aurora…. I think they may have been interested in the popcorn and pancake idea…. Working microwave… TLD mini game on computers during the Aurora.

Diuretic and digestive aid sounds like a treatment for constipation. Too many Zap bars.

I believe so…. I’ve been playing BLK and have finished everything except episode 5…

I have to wait until March 🥲 lol

If you leave it behind, it will never be a strong skill I usually don’t find much in the way of shells, one or two. But I save it for bears only. Bow for deer, stealth and tactics for wolves.

Ahhhh but you can never have too many guns! 🤣 I’ve begun to set up small “camps” throughout each region and I try to have a firearm with rounds and a bow with arrows at each locale. Specifically because at some point i will need to travel to BI or BLK to craft ammo. Since weight is an issue I leave rifles/revolvers at my camps and carry a flare gun and bow during long distance travel. speaking of guaranteed spawns, there is ALWAYS a flare gun at the train car in the bottom of the ravine transition. Even on interloper.

I stand corrected. or sit corrected…. climb corrected??!? Yes, always at the summit. Usually at the hunters lodge in BR and the homestead in PV. “It was Astrid in the Farm Library with the Rifle!!” (any CLUE fans??)

No guarantees spawns, just like no guarantees in life…. “Google” and the stream community maps will have the answers you’re looking for…

I go back out during blizzards depending where i am and the time of day. I’ve found that making a tea/coffee/reshei/etc. allows me to operate outside considerably longer. Also helps to boost the warmth when I’ve been freezing. The additional time outside also drives towards the cold resistance achievement…. Crafting and reading and water boiling of course, but never wasted time. Also, if I’m low on supplies at a particular locale and in the middle of crafting, I just head out of town towards another area with a work bench and continue working from there while having access to more resources.

Not a bug, wildlife doesn’t respond the same during the Aurora. Considerably more aggressive and harder to kill. in the case of the bear though, Aurora or not, maintain sufficient distance and it will just follow. Or bob and weave between structures and trees where it can’t charge you.

Road trip? He’d never finish his snacks…. Leaves more for me!!

But you’re on board with snow blindness! 👍🏼👍🏼

Grabbing from all those comments…. Make the interface like placing a snow hut, it would require finding the correctly “coded” spot that would accept an ice fishing hole. Perhaps limiting it to rivers where there is always flowing water and the ice won’t be as thick as the lakes? I mean, you know the coho salmon are moving up the river by the hermit cabin in CH… Code the areas at the inlet and exit point of river/lake transitions to cut down on the required amount of areas to be programmed. That would still open up a lot more fishing opportunities in each zone. Add a hand drill as a random object to be found in fishing huts. Would require machining from time to time for condition loss.

I think that’s a great addition idea. It would definitely have made sense for there to be bodies in the vehicles that went over bridges, etc. Plus the ability to loot the corpse. It would make finding the random notes more meaningful if they were found next to the writer. Imagine looting a corpse only to find a farewell note from the person’s spouse or child…. Which, I hope they add more notes to find in the updates. It really adds to the story. Sleeping in the car would be awkward though…. Especially if you took their jacket or shoes from them….

And will the “you’re not hungry” limit be removed so I can over eat and become too heavy to move around? Adding body weight as a penalty for my total pack load over the course of 500 days…

Will there be an option to OD on pain killers?

Now if they could just include a sun burn and snow blindness into the mix…..

You’re going to have to take Leenda’s suggestion. She is right. Take the steam tunnels out to the other side of Blackrock and wait in the truck on that side. Or in the turbine room. Sleep in hour shifts. Once the Aurora starts, book it back over. It’s not always random, sticking too close can and will cause the Aurora NOT to show. It’s programmed in, part of the challenge. Plus, you’re on custom. Don’t give up on this run

The microwave with cans and armor vest would equal the max 40kg 😂

Should make a mini-game out of plinking cans... or use it as a substitute for accuracy development like reading the books and making hits on wildlife

Speaking of, if there could be an interaction by putting an empty can in the microwave...

Which ones??

Yes, but more akin to dry, powdery disgustingness with a hint of “‘inedible burned stuff” 😆

Dying of boredom reminds me of….

Curiosity of course! 😂
