Couldnt find the correct thread about thermos health so ill put it here. The termos does actually loose condition when unused. I have put mine on display and I have noticed it looses 1% condition by just sitting there. It takes about 2-3ingame weeks but I have confirmed it does. I have put it in storage container to see if it will degrade as well. That is obviously not intended right @Admin ¿?

Hmm. We can make improvised, IMPROVISED crafting like arrowheads, knife and hatchet, led for ammunition using the tools we have and the knowledge. I doubt someone could make the casings tho. Not in the conditions we have in game.

On my current run i have fully looted ML, MILTON, PV, TWM, AC (except one house above the broken fishing hut) and found only one of them.

I have looted every nook and cranny in ML map on my current run and i have to admit - the amount of maple saplings got tweaked. I never ever found that many in ML alone - about 14 i believe. Crazy. I think its too much.

Im reaching day 90ish on my new loper run and scurvy risk appeared around day 65-70. I decided not to harvest any of rose hips, reishi, acorns, i only make birch tea but i dont use tea on loper anyway only on harder difficulties. I also decided not to eat any of the human food - i gather it all in my main base. So around day 65 my diet switched from mostly cattails to meat and scurvy decided to show up. I have cuntered it by eating a few cattails but the next day it came back. At that moment i have hunted all of the game in ML and it needed a restart so i decided to go fishing. I have been fishing for around 2 days and one night and caught quite a number of them on lvl 2 fishing (no lure, no bait). While i was fishing the fish was cooking and they were my diet for the duration. After i finished i hauled the remaining fish to my main base @ ML camp office and stored it near my meat supply. After that i didnt have scurvy for a week or more. When it came back i ate 2x fish and it vanished. Atm im after a week in game and still no scurvy risk. It seems like all you need to do i diversify your diet a bit with fish and thats it. You dont need to eat fish everyday - just one or 2 once a week or even more is ok. NO BIG DEAL. Even if your wolrd has no harvestables or food eaten. Should have been implemented in old saves.

Havent any of You noticed increased bear hide decay rate? I think its way faster since the TFTFT update - after the 1 hide to craft bear coat fix i think. If you keep it without curing for too long you will not have enough time to cure it. It will go ruined. I have cured dozens of skins and never had problem but recently i hunted a bear in TWM and took the skin to ML and it didnt cure. The hide took too much damage along the trip and i was going there str8 from twm. On my current run i killed a bear at milton bridge and tookl the skin to ML - it cured but with 14% condition so barely. Anyone noticed a change?

I dont think Story Will and Astrid have anything to do with Rudiger and the machine unless ep 5 will say otherwise. Also survival takes place way after Will and Astrid story so im guessing its another story.

Yeah. A few ingame days. Never happened before. I dont know if that was Hinterlands case or my save got messed up.

A wolf stole one bag of quartered bear from me some time ago - was so pissed ! I didnt think it would take the bag........but it did like a single piece of meat.

Well i guess it was hard technically. I understand Ralph's decision. Either way after watching Zaks video on the new region im pretty sure i would die there on my run. The difficulty i play is just too hard. Ive strated a new loper run to go there. After i finish it on loper i will try to do it on near nogoa. Sounds crazy but I managed to do the first part of the tale on this difficulty. It was super hard tho. Happy with the update and the last bug fixes did good besides the fact my save did get a rollback after i hauled all the stuff from hrv and milton to ML. Took me 4 trips....🙃 so I had to do it again.

Ive srarted a new interloper and on day 50ish. I literally left every rosehip and other untouched, didnt consume any human food what so ever only xat tails and meat tell day 30ish and now only meat and I dont have scurvy? Bug?

@Admin are these changes/fixes aplly to existing saves past update or ? Also there is a bug when creating the improvised bedroll. It doesnt take the feathers and changes to improvised in progress. You cant finish it ot use it after that process. Anyone had this? Yes the flask seems to loose condition "as you go". Ive put mine on display in base. It ws on 75% ill check later how it is. Also almost no bears in my run. Edit Just logged in and my save has a rollback. A few in game days.....wtf?

Well i still havent tried the update. If that is the case i really dont understand the logic here. From what ive seen in YT rosehips and mushrooms are not the only thing to counter scurvy and its not that a big of a deal as I suspected. Guess they had they reasons why not add it. The thing that bugs me the most is thst they said NO MORE save wipes. It feels like a save wipe for me. 5 exactly. Ofc ill make new ones but it takes time and if they wipe again i dont know if I will continue playing the game. Time wasted is the worst thing. We will see how they handle next update. Still going there on my hardest custom save would be suicide. Ill make a new loper run Again, collect all the stuff from the world again, do the tales again and go check ZoC then. Maybe I will see it by the end of the year.

It wouldnt make sense to add saplings to existing games/saves bcoz of the Travois needs them and not include scurvy bcoz someone could use all of the resources in game. Based on this i suspect nothing has changed on this matter.

I am in Santo Domingo right now on a City Tour and I got an e-mail with the update information. Everything looks really great and cant w8 to try it when I come back home on the 14th. You guys did some nice work. One big dissapointment tho. Why do I have to abandon my saves again? I have worked soo hard for my super interloper Will and hes past 300 days. Along with other 4 interloper saves one of them past 500.... I have all the materials I need on them to survive with scurvy for another 1000 plus. Do I have to loose my saves again when another update launches? This kinda blows... Well guess ill make a new one but please dont wipe it again !!!!!! Ty for Your work Hinterland.

No no dont get me wrong. Its he's choice how to play. I just try to encourage him to try a diffrent scenario. Its not all the same as You suggested in terms.of

Welcome @Marcos Well i cant say they are bad advices - they are good. Not a fan of cutting the meat on 0,5 kg's tho. And you forgot about getting the saplings and guts to cure while you go crafting 1st time. Good advice about the starving tactic - although there are soooo many cattails on Interloper that its not that important. On higher difficulty tho the starving tactic in a no go. Same as walking around exhausted. Also i encourage you to start Interloper as it supposed to be - random and learn to survive in any given scenario - not just the Ash Canyon one. Its more rewarding and fun. Good Luck !

New items does not show and shouldnt -=> They are not intended to give smell (pies with meat and stews) so im guessing its a bug. Fish bait should produce scent and it does - it just doesnt show on interface and like you said you cant drop the bait with drop decoy button. - This almost killed me on one of my run - i thought i dropped everything and poped on a wolf behind the slope that was going to me bcoz of the fish bait. The scent mechanic has been a thing of debate for years now ( i have found statements from 2017 that said raw is more smelly) - from my personal experience i will state that cooked meat attracts more scent than raw since i remember. When i pick up one raw fish and i have wolves in the distance nothing happens. When i drop the raw fish and take the same one but raw (it can be even half a fish) the wolves will turn in my direction. I even heard @Zaknafein notice something similar and talked about it in his videos - i dont remember which one there are so many now and i watched them all at least one time (NOGOA series my fav i have watched 3 times). The system needs some work to be done but its not "game breaking" just have to take mind what you are doing - whick is the core essence of the game especially on harder difficulties. TBH i dont see any game breaking bug in the game currently (Xbox) other than annoying SILENT BLIZZARD..... yes maybe not so often but i got it twice yesterday on my run. Its just annoying nut not game breaking and maybe the quantity with cooking items bug (0,1 is actually 0,099)

Also cooked meat attracts more than uncooked. It doesnt show in the interface but this is true.

Yeah...... there's that 🥺poor bunnies I will go str8 to hell for them for sure.

👍😁 Ill make some screenshots of the kitchens. Looks so nice.

Cool. Yeah snares are one of the worst ways of hunting an animal. They struggle for hours until they die. I would only do it if i were in the same situation as presented in the game in RL. I still hunt rabbits with stones - i dont know if its a habit or......it just feels better for me. Ptarmigans on the other hand i use FHA even if im not archery 5. I only use stone if i dont have the bow yet. Correct me if im wrong - i dont play below loper. The insulation is actually the best warmth item to put in the accessory slot. Improved bedroll is the best bedroll to have - almost as warm as bear and just a little bit heavier than standard bedroll - for me its a WIN. Are there better items on Pilgrim, Voyager, Stalker?

Dang. Im a hoarder. I used only one potatoe in all of my runs till now. I baked it lol. Rest of the ingredients are stored in my main bases in all of the saves. Waiting there for master chef edition or sth Along with rest of the cans and food that i could find in the world. My kitchen is loaded bcoz i tend to not use the human food i find if i can.
