I'm curious why they changed them to spawning at anything other than 100* as they don't degrade over time, and the condition doesn't affect whether they work or not. Is anybody else bothered by the fact that we can't stack all our matches now? I hope they either revert them to being at 100*/not having a condition at all, or make it so the condition can affect them in some way, by either degrading until ruin, or lower condition ones having a chance to fail based on condition.

That's one of the coolest things I've ever seen, the snow is so perfect, that it looks fake.

If you have the DLC, all of the variant rifles always spawn, the best one IMO spawns at coastal Highway, just look up Barb's rifle so you can get the spawn points.

@TonyInPleasantValley It's a really productive way to spend the time, although I'd advise against storing anything that decays with time inside of a container, as if they happen to hit 0 condition while inside the container they'll just disappear. Another good way to chew through a few hundred days is both mapping, and also doing signal void, and the new tale if you haven't already. I've just now completed buried echoes at around day 160, and even though I have my day length set to x2, I was rushing once I started working on the tales, especially the new one, as The Zone was extremely nerve-wracking for me. Where I'm at now, I have basically every area settled, except Bleak Inlet, Black Rock, and The Muskeg. Some bases are only stocked with water and about 20kg meat, while others have over 100 L of water and 100kg of meat. I just really like having all of my bases extremely over stocked, and while I used to keep an inventory list, I started just keeping a certain number of each item at a base, then hauling the rest back to my "home".

Congratulations, that's no small feat. Everybody has a different style of play, but the most effective way to set yourself up for success is to have a home base in one of the more central regions, then spend the time to set up satellite bases in each region, usually one each, but sometimes more. Moving the necessities around becomes much easier when it's from one base to another, instead of while you're out looting. I have most of my satellite bases set up with at least a month's worth of food, and water, plus whatever tools are needed in that region, like a hammer near forges, or a hacksaw where you wanna gather lead, or scrap metal.

There are 6 transmitter towers in total, the last two don't lead to bunkers, but to transponder caches instead.

Do you remember what prepper cache it was, not the area, but like the type? There's a hunting themed one, one with food, and I forget the last one.

There's a few that don't lead to bunkers, like the one near Hibernia, that lead to transponder caches. If you look up the transmitters, I think the wiki may list them all.

Has anybody else noticed cured hides decaying since the update, or am I just crazy? Something seems different now, and I can't figure it out. I used to take 99% of my hides indoors immediately, so most of them would be at 100*, even after curing, but now it seems that either they're decaying more while curing, or they continue to decay afterwards. I'm going to have to pull a specific one out for a few days to watch it, in case I need to double back to every base to get all my hides out of containers and onto the floor.

Lol, I'm right there with you man, I'd happily support more paid DLC for the next decade, or even two.

There's one more region being added out there, Mountain Pass I believe, and that's when the cougar is coming too!

Are you playing on a different day length, like x2, x3, or x4?

You guys have my praise again, I've been waiting months for that series s fps fix! This update looks to be loaded to the brim, seriously good job, you've really outdone yourselves with this one.

Yeah, everytime I get something down to .10, if I try cooking with it it says .09, and won't let me use it.

I think my main advice would be to not get into the mindset of settling in somewhere until either the late game, or maybe mid game. What's worked out the best for me has been to spend the early game traveling, looting, and consolidating that loot into one or two "bases" in the region. Then I move on and do the same for basically every region, setting up a one or two, sometimes even three regional bases. I try to spend less than two weeks really setting up each area, keeping track of notable tools, and how much food and water there is in each. Then when I finally finish that process for each region, I'll make another pass through that's much more thorough, finishing up my cartography, and getting at least a month's worth of food and water set up for my eventual return. That sets you up to be able to move around the map much more stress free, and to be able to rotate around the map hunting, and gathering what resources are left. From that point you can comfortably do signal void, and any other little personal quest you really want to, I enjoy the late game so much, even if it gets a little dull at times.
