Thank you so much for doing this, there are so many videos about guides and tips but most of them are a few years old and it's sometimes impossible to know if what they say is still accurate. Just bought The Long Dark yesterday and I've been having a blast! And for anyone who sees my comment in the next few days and is interested in playing, its on sale (40% off) on steam and also on the Nintendo Switch store (50% off)

Been playing LD since 2014 alpha. Interloper was unattainable for me for years and it took your content to teach me a few missing pieces of how I could play to make me a consistent Interloper survivor. Thanks for all your work. It's really helped to challenge me and breathed fresh life into one of my favorite games of all time.

@slidhomes3439 6 ай бұрын

For Bleak bedroll, the cave doesnt have a 100% one. But as far as I know, a bedroll always will spawn in bleak. There are 4 possible locations now. Cave, 2 possible in cannery area, and then the lighthouse. Grats on 30k

8:36 this is actually because temperature is calculated at player location. not the location of any other object in a given scene. It's a strange implementation but I get why designed it this way.

Congratulations on 30k survivor followers, you look fantastic in your Long Dark gear ! Thanks for your advices, I wouldn't have been able to complete the challenge and dip my toes in Interloper without your videos. And your new 500 days series is my zen moment of the week (except when you're hunting wolves and bear with 10% condition). And you should know that your laugh is pretty iconic as well :)

How the Cold Temp Burn Bonus actually works. When the ambient temperature where your character is (without the bonus from the fire) reaches -10C fires will start lasting longer than the time shown on the fire. As the temperature gets colder from that starting point of -10C the fire will last longer and longer up to reaching a max of 2x the shown fire duration at a temp of -30C. This affect does not work across load screens. So no, starting a fire in Trappers and going outside won't help fire times.

@aidencarman523 6 ай бұрын

I'm playing Rimworld, and listening to the video and 37:10 the wolf bark made my heart stop and I froze and listened for which direction. I'm not even playing TLD and that was pure terror.

@DerZeroHero 4 ай бұрын

17:30 Zak, I think that the wolf that does not bark/alert is the same wolf that sometimes can happen during the day: the ambush wolf. I've noticed that the AI will sometimes redirect the normal pathing of a wolf to navigate towards the player while staying concealed behind trees. That wolf almost always pops out of nowhere and immediately charges.

@awkwardbenny5264 Ай бұрын

Pretty sure I had a moose bleed out after 3 or 4 rifle shots… I was sitting on a large boulder upstream from crystal lake & he wanted to charge me but took off up a slight incline and turned around to mosey back down towards me & because he couldn’t reach me I waited for him to come back around to my boulder & reach the optimal shooting position… repeated the same thing 3-4 times and as I was bracing for him to make his way around the boulder he dropped dead before I could take my last shot 😢

@chrisbadger8684 6 ай бұрын

The Cold Temp Burn Bonus does not work across load screens. So if you light a fire in trappers and then go outside the fire will NOT last longer.

@Mannibalector4494 6 ай бұрын

In reference to the “cheese” method for cooking, you can no longer make small slices, but only cut the amount you’re able to scroll to on the harvesting selection. Due to the new animations, you don’t actively cut while passing time/doing the animation. You only get the amount you selected once the animation FINISHES. If you cancel the animation you get no meat at all. This was tested on bags of meat only so idk if it works on carcasses, but knowing that all have added animations I assume it is the same. Correct me if I’m wrong!

@Zaknafein 6 ай бұрын

Yes, as I explained in the video you can still get small pieces through the scrolling method. At least it worked for me when I tested it.
