@Superbluebaby Woah! Gas station is amazing catch! Did you wait for it or just luck?

Had mood for Wintermute again.

I didn't want to go into any milton house after seeing this at my first run.

@xanna True. Even Milton is harder because of wolves. It feels safe and anytime I enter Mystery Lake I feel like I'm already home even if I have long way to cabin yet. But I feel it's good for hunting. You have ptarmigans next to your house, two good places for rabbit traps near, fishing huts (new fishing update helps but before I couldn't imagine not having it because it's relaxing way for foggy days) deers roam preety close and tracking them by blood is a lot of fun without risk of being lost. There are wolves and bears so it's not boring. I didn't see a moose for some time maybe some update messed up but when it spawns it does in really comfortable places for long waiting for it. I hunt for furs mostly there. Six burner stove is fave but two is enough for most of time and I won't exchange it for not having crafting table or having it in uncomfortable place. I like to craft while cooking. I love the most that I use literally all it's space but it is not to small too. Milton house, PV farmhouse or Huting lodge are wonderfull but a bit overwhelming for me. And airfield island cabin or Mountaineer hut are too small and quickly become boring when I stay longer. And Camp Office is house I could have irl . Not too big not too small. Space for living, space for crafting and pretty lake is basically all I need.

I liked it at first but area feels too small and narrow and to far from everything for home.

Seriously? I feel like it's exactly in middle of everything and office is exactly in middle of it. With Far Territory at all. But most of cool places like Mountaineer' hut or Island Cottage are cool only for while because it's always far.

I do like it, but I feel like it's too big? I tried few times to settle there but I use kitchen mostly and I don't even go upstairs. And crafting in dark is frustrating. But placement is as good.

What's your favourite place to call home? Where usually you make main base and gather your stuff, or go back from long trip thinking "finally home"? Or maybe you don't gather more than you can carry and don't stay anywhere for longer? From my first run in Wintermute, when I didn't play survival yet, Camp Office was place I first saw and knew I just want to stay there and call it mine. I've looked for new one but I didn't find anything as perfect. I'm curious if you have any different spots, where you know it doesn't matter where you start game you will settle there and nowhere else?

@CobraGeneral Oooh flamy! I love it!

It's not a bug, it's a feature xD

Haha. You were never curious? Maybe not dog food, but cat's smell pretty good. I'm sure it's better quality food than human cans, just without spice and salt. xD

A lot of stories about WW2 in Poland mention acorn coffee or acorn flour. It really saved life in hard times of hunger and hard work. I heard about teen girl exiled to Syberia (they were sent to Yakutsk mostly wchich is the coldest inhabited place on earth) living and hardworking on cup of acorn coffee and handfull of rice daily. It puts perspective on how amazing and adaptable human is. My shot for "I'd eat that" is regullar coffe. Black with no sugar made on campfire in tin cup. It would be disgusting and bitter yet I'm sure snow and cold and warmth of coffee and campfire would make it the most tasty thing on earth. But to be fair every single dish in this game makes me feel hungry. Stew looks amazing. I lately had chance to try european roe and God... it tasted like heaven.

I've met issues like this very often in other games when my laptop didn't meet requirements for game but I played it anyway. Floating objects trees in weird places and stuff. Like it just doesn't render properly. Weird because I'd bet that it doesn't meet this game requirements too xD but usually I don't have issues like this. Actually it's one of best working games on my potato. But maybe it might be the problem?

It's my second run when I can't find this rifle in any known place. Possibly more than two because I played few runs at areas far from Dam and I didn't have time to go and look for it but it just looks like it just stopped spawning some time ago. Did I miss something and it has some new spawn points or it's just bugged? I love this rifle I want it back :c

I know! There is absolutely NOTHING to orient yourself. All my runs on airfield were being lost in the middle of nowhere, dying from hypothermia. It's pretty cool challenge, but it's pretty annoying when you want just hike and sightsee.

I agree we need more Pleasant Valleys and Mystery Lakes with cozy cabins to settle and nice places to hunt, because all my runs are from Mystery Lake Camp Office as best main base and it slowly becomes boring. I like to have nice place to call home waiting for me and I would like some new. But I like new mechanics and places. I'm more annoyed by Forsaken Airfield where it's hard to go for quick hunt without being completely lost in fog. I once spent ingame month sitting in island cabin and hunting on rabbits, waiting for weather to get out of airfield, because any day without glimmer fog was blizzard. Contamination zone is hard, but manmade hideouts make it pretty fun. And hunting is less important when you have as much canned food as in Milton.

Love it. Thank you.

Flare one may be not visible well on dark screens but I love this screenshot. I was almost dying from hypothermia and wounds and almost fainting from exhaustion and those green eyes in dark were following me all way from unnamed pond to camp office. I was carrying fresh moose after weeks of hunting for it and too determined to leave anything back. I was sure I'm not gonna make it. But I did!

Yeah I agree. As I love feeling of true fight for life at permadeath, when seeking for easier experience I would much more enjoy harder difficulities with possibility to load save when I die, than boring and safe pilgrim mode where I usually don't die but just start a new game because I'm bored or it feels too unreal to see bear running away from me. Other thing is that I didn't visit ZoC yet because I just finished Signal Void and wanted to get stuff from Ash Canyon as I was in Pleasant Valley relatively close to it before I start new tale. And I never got here. I have other save with SV finished but it's Pilgirim and I just don't want to destroy my experience with toxic wolves and everything new by it. So now to see new things and story I have to repeat month of playing in hope I don't die some stupid way and I probably will. I know that I will feel amazing when I achieve this because it's this hard and this is why I love this game, but It's still very frustrating and I don't want to play for a while because of it.

And fancy cups spawning from nowhere anytime you make coffe or tea are realistic? Yeah it would work better like water tank. Disagree here. Insulated flask is insulated. It keeps hot in but it keeps hot out too. And keeping it by fire would probably just destroy it. My headache is that in game it keeps heat for few hours maybe, making it just useless, pretty thing to carry. Irl I'm using preety cheap flask and if I pour hot water at morning I still can make weak tea with it next morning.

I just have this kind of relationship with this game, that I try to start new game, but it's no fun at all. I start again and again till I have 10+ saves with two days survived or something. Someday I just start new game and then it just clicks and I don't do anything else for month or two. And then I'm dead xD

Harvesting is fun and finding burdock feels like christmas, but most of harvestable plants are medicines or just low calorie snacks. Medicines are pretty common at lower difficulities so rarely there is need for using anything. Frontier cooking is one of the coolest thing in game, especially when weather forces me to stay at cabin for days. And what I love the most are acorns. Acorn coffe, acorn flour. It's really cool that you don't need manmade ingredients because you can make your own like true survivalist. I wish crafting and cooking could be more independent from human settlements and it would be possible to stay at wilderness without limiting great gameplay.

Hi. Im curious how are you dealing with death of your character? Are you jumping into new game, or maybe need few weeks or months to get over it? I personally get attached to my character like my own life depend on it and need some time to stop being angry at myself. Pretty fresh because I lost my last character from hypothermia at 99 day standing almost at gold mine in Ash Canyon just because it felt too close to step back. (I'm 100% sure this is why most of people die in mountains xD)
