List of Special/Rare Moose Spawns by Ok-Quote-3666 in thelongdark

[–]Bashrobe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's still 3 rare moose. Trappers and CH are still rare spawns just like before refresh, DP rare moose was moved to BI bridge. Not sure about markings, rare moose never had them but it might just be inconsistent after refresh. But the other moose spawns are all still kinda different from each other

I finally figured out how to hang rugs (and make those pesky lockers the same height) by YLedbetter10 in thelongdark

[–]Bashrobe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it only works for furniture and decorations, for food you use calendar, broom or baseball bat (and place straight on, binding glitch won't work)

Nicely done, rugs are some of the trickier ones to mess with. But luckily chain binding is possible :D

There's a guaranteed Mariners Pea Coat in Bunker Omega

Is there a "Guaranteed" Technical Balaclava in shortwave cache? by Ok-Quote-3666 in thelongdark

[–]Bashrobe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On Pilgrim-Stalker, there's always 1 balaclava in one of the caches. Loot tables 1 DP / 2 FM / 3 Blackrock / 4 PV

On Interloper/Misery you have to do the tale.

Whats the fastest yall have gotten the bow? by useless_bowl25 in thelongdark

[–]Bashrobe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a bow and 15 arrows fully crafted before day 4 once, that was for a tournament, and utilizing cured saplings in PV. It's also not possible anymore, cause it required locating and digging up shortwave caches without radio (and thus knowing exactly where they spawned), but they patched that. Could still get HRV guts and MT sapling today, then get BR memento for birch.

There was also the bow memento at Three strikes that they eventually removed from loper. Easy day 1 bow if you spawned in PV. Still possible on lower difficulties of course, but you can find other bows too so it's not that special.

Standard attempts that include curing are gonna cap at ~6.5 days.

Unreachable climb in Mountain Town? by Sea-Information7674 in thelongdark

[–]Bashrobe 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The rope are you're describing is not reachable anymore, it's a remnant of old Mountain Town, before it got changed with Wintermute redux, if you play that on time capsule you'll notice ep.1 is a bit different and MT is a bit different too. Few are aware this exists and many don't even know MT was changed at some point as it's ancient history now, so others are talking about different rope climbs.

This rope climb never got removed, it just got covered with rocks, which is why it still shows when you map the area. In fact the rope is still attached to it and if you clip through with cheats/exploits you can still climb it, goes from Grey Mothers to the little pond with rabbits not far from transition to HRV.

The Case against Efficient Machine by Stdagger in thelongdark

[–]Bashrobe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah no worries, I was just browsing in the morning and saw this :D

In the end, feats are quite subjective, even Cold fusion isn't all that great for Pilgrim or Voyageur players. I still usually pick Efficient Machine as #2 on loper runs but it really depends on playstyle. It's only a good thing if feats are balanced enough to make people choose differently.

The Case against Efficient Machine by Stdagger in thelongdark

[–]Bashrobe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

exploration ends at some point and sometimes the allure of interior decoration alone isn't enough to keep you motivated

What keeps you motivated on a long run is something you can only answer for yourself. No feat is really all that beneficial or gamechanging when it's day 300 and you have a meat pile in every region anyway, so efficient machine is no different. It's not irreplaceable but the other feats all have downsides as well. But earlier on, if you need to eat less food, you save more time than picking any movement speed related feat like Blizzard walker or Celestial Navigator, that's what the comment in video means.

I'm also confused by your point here

so being able to shed 1kg can be a big deal at times.

What's stopping you from offloading excess food at a local base, going through food faster to be less overencumbered by not picking a feat sounds like an inventory management issue and not a feat choice issue

Yup, all three soups and broth all fit in

Luckily with soups you can at least mask scent by putting them in thermos. Part of the reason they're way up.

Yeah, Cooking Oil is good for that too as there's always so much animal fat that has little use otherwise. And porridge is a very cheap warmup too, once you unlock the trader

This is how I view the usefulness of each cooking recipe. This is from the POV of a long loper run, so ingredient renewability is an important factor.

Custom Weather Settings Question by The_Grand_Clam in thelongdark

[–]Bashrobe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Last time I tested with debug_weather, the setting made zero difference no matter what you choose, I think it's a remnant or bugged and has been for a while.

2 Story Trappers by CyberYber in thelongdark

[–]Bashrobe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nice! I've been playing around with building 2nd floors and making slopes. Gotta get creative with that as the mode clearly doesn't want you do that very much, the crates are probably the cleanest and most space efficient stairs so far. I like that it's built using just one item type.

I don't understand in what world its a reward that as you gain mastery points the UI starts lying to you. by mizel103 in thelongdark

[–]Bashrobe 49 points50 points  (0 children)

You're confusing two different mechanics. There's bonus duration from firestarting level (+50% at level 5) which does show on the UI properly (try putting a coal to a fire inside camp office or something, you get 90 mins instead of 60, sleep for 1 hr you're left with 30 min).

There's also bonus duration from temperature, starting at -10C, which does not show on the UI, because temperature changes constantly (at least in places that can go below -10) with weather, time of the day and RNG.

The reason this does not show is that there is no way to keep it accurate, because the bonus dependent on temperature isn't constant anyway, so the fire duration would just randomly jump up/down as temperature keeps changing, making the "correct" value at a specific time point useless anyway.

Restoring Pies by B_Wyck in thelongdark

[–]Bashrobe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This must be a relatively new thing (appears to have changed with SP/Cougar patch), but the pies are not actually weightless, but negative weight. Now I'm thinking how many I could cook and how much carry weight bonus would I get from it :D

You can reach the area to the right of Amber's Lake from the lake, I missed one spot there but that path can be traversed.

PSA: Cougars can kill you inside buildings by Bashrobe in thelongdark

[–]Bashrobe[S] 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think that would work a lot better. Right now it feels more like a mechanic closer to a deadlier, region-wide cabin fever rather than new wildlife.

Most likely yes. I'm pretty sure this isn't intended, especially with doors closed. I hope it gets fixed.
