I pretty much only play Staker mode and have never come close to using up all the matches in the game.  Besides the strikers and the mag lenses of which there are multiples, there are literally hundreds of matches in the game.  I honestly can't image that you, @Levelgrinder, have collected all the matches that can be found in the game and are at risk of running out.  I suppose it's possible at some point if you live long enough you'll eventually run out of matches but that could take a long time.  
I'd say that once you exhaust every fire making tool, matches, strikers, maglenses and no longer have any ability of making fire, then and only then are you truly screwed.

lol, sometimes I dream that someone is trying to do me harm.  They are menacing me and coming at me slowly and acting super aggressive.
I pull my pistol outta my pocket and tell them to step back and if they come any closer I will open fire.
they advance towards me and are getting closer and closer.

I pull the trigger!  BOOM!  and the bullet just slowly falls out the front of the barrel...

lol, Balaclava-Man!

He does look pretty intimidating sporting those two pistols on his belt!

It sure doesnt look like there were any survivors

where is this?  I don't think I've ever been here before.  

@peteloud

yeah, I dont think that he used mods to create these images.  Looks like he made a bunch of 12 hour long burning fires and skillfully placed some lanterns.
If he was using mods, then he might have been using "infinite fires" and "place anywhere" but I got the impression from the food pic that these pics are 
just employing the standard vanilla mechanics.    

Maybe @Digitalius will comment on his work.  either way, it does look pretty good.

I mean, IRL I've lowered my pack down via rope then climbed down after. (I've done my share of scrambling)

right???  there should be a mechanic whereby you take off your pack and hoist it up or down.  This would be a great feature to have the modding community look into.  
You should probably suggest that on the modding forum.

The aurora gives this kind of lighting for this bridge in-game?

Yes, yes it does!  but only if you drop a hit of blotter acid or eat some shrooms...

you're not the first to notice his absence from the story line.  

what's your theory behind the why?

good pic of the ole boy, btw

Anybody know of any games like the long dark? im wanting to get a video game for myself for Christmas. Any recommendations are appreciated!

Kinda depends on what kinda device you are playing on?  there's some great titles out there but some are specific, like console only for PS4/5 & XBOX vs. PC only.   
also what price range are you looking at?  I'm on PC myself and often check out early release games and the like.  The most recent one I got for PC is the viking
survival game Frozenheim.  It was priced around $20 USD.  It's got some beautiful graphics but the movement mechanics are kinda clunky, but so far I really haven't put a lot of time into playing it yet.

Yeah. Don't clean up your desk. If you do, you'll end up dead.

words of wisdom.  I take it you spill your beer a lot too? eh?

59. spilling your beer onto your keyboard while getting attacked by wolves then bleeding out while you clean up your desk

60. spilling your beer onto your keyboard while getting attacked by a bear then bleeding out while you clean up your desk

61. spilling your beer onto your keyboard while getting stomped by a moose then bleeding out while you clean up your desk

62. spilling your beer onto your keyboard while falling thru thin ice, then dying of hypothermia while you clean up your desk

63. spilling your beer onto your keyboard while eating spoiled food then dying of food poisoning while you clean up your desk

No, no you haven't.  we had that typical father/son love/hate relationship if you know what I mean.  I find myself saying some of the same things and when I catch 
myself doing so, I finally understand what he meant when he told me that he hoped my kids would turn out just like me...  😖

LOL, my mother used to say that to me and my brothers and sister all the time!  
Yeah, my sister's kids are little sh*ts to the 4th power.  So I think part of mom's dream came true.  
Although my dog can be a real pain in butt sometimes!

When you take something out of a file cabinet at work and say "I hope nobody needs this anymore!"

lol, you should have led with "Hello Jeremiah, I'm Dr. Fauci..."

Talk about being misled by old white men... am I right?!?

Hmmm..mine was in a different spot. 

  Hide contents

Up on the hillside across from No Road Cave

 

yeah, I think that is just one of the possible spots that the bunkers spawns.  supposedly has 9 different spots it can show up on, just like PV and ML.

Maybe if everybody takes a screenshot of where they find it, we can build a complete list of possible locations.  I haven't found it yet but I'll go check in the area the next time I play,  where Piddy found his just in case I'm wrong.

nope, not this time...

here see if this helps

look over to the left side of the map.  that little square looking thing to the left of those two caves, by the river

from what I understand, there's 9 different spots it can spawn, just like ML and PV.  I could be wrong, but that's what I heard.

I spilled my beer when I saw you had shot that rabbit in the ass!

The works of the Group of Seven are magnificent. Totally a Long Dark connection.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

wow, it also looks like some of their work heavily influenced the art director of the TLD project!

...there once used to sit a crib.   

as i recall there also were some children's wooden blocks at the top of the stairs.  I remember trying to see if they spelled anything but they weren't moveable.  
yeah, it was definitely creepy and the interior lighting was so much darker you had to use a torch even in the middle of the day. 

Back then, things went "bump" there no matter what time it was!

Creepy AF

it really looked like people were sitting there from the back.  Too bad you didn't post this on Halloween!

Lol, found this on youtube this morning.  
It does explain why everybody is hungry at the prison the whole time.  
I guess that guard that goes missing or is always late has been pilfering goods and supplies for quite a while...

Hi thanks for the replies folks.

Good suggestion to direct towards interloper. I often forget we interlopers are the minority players.unfortunately I've left it too late to edit the post.

Also I should have mentioned that I have trawled Google and other forums , and could not find an answer either(sorry to waste your time)

and now, for no better reason than sheer curiosity, when you have an answer to the question, would you please post it here and let me know?

oh, I just had a thought as I was writing my reply...  is it possible that somehow in your custom game that you could have turned off tools?  It's been a while since 
I've played around with custom game settings but if my wretched memory serves, I coulda sworn there was an option for tools... 
It just could be my beer addled wits...

Hey @sierra 117,

Just a suggestion, but you might get a little more traction if you direct your query to Interloper players in the title of your post.
I was just gonna jump in and give you my two cents, but am unable as I don't play interloper much and never actually made it to TWM when I played in that difficulty setting.  To that end, I just spent the better part of a half hour scouring the various wiki's and various other guides on steam and no where was I able to find an answer to your question.  So, very good question and now I am curious as to what you find out.  Good question!   

on a side note, I noticed you have 40+ views on the post and so far the only two responses are from two players who can't help you. 
Good luck, player I hope you get an informed reply soon.
