Even if I'm able to go the next 70 days without having to leave the map for wood it'll take a shitload of time and effort to get it, especially with the new stamina changes. I made the trip from the Farmhouse in Pleasant Valley up to Signal Hill, which took 2 hours from a full rest, and I was tired by the time I got there.  Do you stay in one place and go out for supplies, or just carry everything with you? I started a new game after dying of hypothermia and it started me inside the Hunter's Homestead, which included a rifle and ammo. Gotta make good use of this!

The Trapper's Homestead is a great place to start off, especially if you spawn with the rifle. I had trouble pretty fast though; my clothing wasn't all that great, and I only had about six bullets total. Supply runs were a pain between the cold and wolf attacks, so I've been cabin hopping and made my way to the camp office. I think I'll make this my new home for now and plan an expedition to my old homestead to gather the supplies I left behind.

Between my rifle and winter coat, I have so little room to carry supplies. With all my clothes, the rifle and water, I hit 33 lbs easily, out of my 66 or so. I went on an adventure from the camp office to a cabin by the frozen canal and almost died. I managed to kill 1 wolf and shot another, leaving me with no bullets. The cabin had nothing useful, so I headed to the forestry overlook. Only to realize when I got there that last time I had completely broken down all the wooden objects and had no way to make a fire. So, starving and dehydrated, I headed out into the night with naught but my lantern in an attempt to find sticks, branches or SOMETHING. Ended up by the frozen canal again and decided to try and make it back to base camp. And...I did it! My hunger and thirst were in the red, fatigue was close, and the cold and dark was creeping up but god dammit I made it. Now I need to plan a trip to the dam in the hopes of finding more ammo or I have no chance of accomplishing anything.

Remember how lovely Wurm Online is with the grinding and awful players?

The time between when I first played TLD and the most recent time (winter 2015), the game tripled in size as far as locations go. I think when I started there were only two areas and now they are a lot more than that. I'm also vaguely excited for whatever the story mode will be.

The_Doctor posted:The Solus Project and Firewatch are also on sale. The Solus Project is cheaper when purchased as a bundle with their previous game The Ball, so I did that. I considered that one; how is it? Is it basically a sci-fi version of TLD? Edit: Referring to Solus; Firewatch looks neat but I'm cheap.

Aphex- posted:Firewatch isn't a survival game. It's more like a first person adventure game. Walking around, some light puzzles, lots of dialogue and a great story. Some people are let down by the way the story ends but I liked it quite a lot. It's only around 3 hours long though so ymmv. Yeah, it looks cool but being a short "walking simulator" means my threshold for spending money on it is somewhere around $5. Nothing against the game or people that like them, just not what I go for.

I went into the Distress Pistol challenge in TLD without reading up on it. I'm only in the coastal highway with just over a day left. I don't think I'm going to make it. As soon as I stepped out of the Hunter's Lodge I hit a -20 degree wind. Then later a -40 degree. It's been rough.

I made it through the Whiteout challenge in TLD once I realized that when you have all the supplies you win, you don't have to survive the full 30 days. Then I tried the bear challenge and holy christ was that tense and scary. You start in Pleasant Valley, nearish the big house, at 8-10% condition after a bear mauls you. There is a basement nearby with a few supplies so you can rest and heal yourself before heading out. The bear will absolutely loving follow you, appearing at very inopportune times and charge you very fast. You can shoot it with the Distress Pistol that you get in the basement and it will run away for a bit but God help you if you miss your shot. You have to go all the way through the dam (is the wolf there always passive? It didn't even look at me) then all the way to Trapper's Homestead. I had to stop at the Logging Cabins because I was drat tired and cold. I leave in the morning, belly full, sun shining, and here's Mr. Bear! I miss TWO flare shots (missing means he runs away but comes right back instead of disappearing) and I got mauled bad. 9% condition again but I have meds so I treat myself and move on in a rush, hoping he'll stay away and I can save my one flare. Then a wolf instagibs me before I can get a flare out and light it.

AbrahamLincolnLog posted:Oh man this game pushes so many buttons for me. Post-apocalypse? RPG style management? Not made with generic Unity assets? Sign me the gently caress up. I'm sure I'm just really bad at it but this game is hard. Gotta balance lots of things and I can't seem to get the resources I need, quick enough, to survive. I've only gotten up to 26 days before everyone succumbed to radiation poisoning. If everyone who is loyal enough to be sent on missions dies, you lose, even if you have a bunch of other people left over.

The horse is real nice for scavenging. Reduces the water you need and lets you carry more. Need to build that stable or it'll get poisoned when you're out of meds; takes three food a day as well, unless you just send it on missions constantly.

I wish there was a way to craft components in Sheltered, or that the recycling center didn't take so long. I'm in dire need of more valves. Couple of tires as well; I'm four achievements away from 100%. EDIT:  This thread gets so few screen shots.

The Forlorn Muskeg has NOTHING. I spent several days looking for any shelter at all besides burned out buildings and caves. Survived two wolf attacks and several sprained appendages before I found the railroad (where a bear was hanging out) and booked my rear end to Mystery Lake. Hello lake cabin, my old friend.

I've been reduced to eating cat tail stalks and hoping I don't have to eat the cans of dog food I found. I don't think it ever went above 1 degree when I was there. Took me 2-3 days to walk through to find the route to Mystery Lake.

I agree with the general tone about story mode. The writing is generic and hokey, and some of the voice acting is just bad. I don't mind playing through it and I plan to continue just to say I've done it. Is Milton in the base game? I don't remember it but I haven't explored most of the new zones fully.
