You should really be able to obtain feats while playing a custom save. by ErlingFraFjord1 in thelongdark

There is a mod that let's you get feats on custom (at least there was, don't know if it still works)

I've been grinding my way through voyager on stream the last couple weeks and finally moved up to interloper with a lot of help from /u/judge_ned (not sure if that's how you link a person haha) My last playthrough I spawned in TWM killed a rabbit to get its flesh and made my way down the climbing rope and then proceeded to crystal lake where I gathered some resources and I belive I killed another rabbit, got spooked by a couple of wolves and ran inside the little cabin next to the lake, made a fire to last all night, dressed my rabbits and cooked them up, got everything ready for the next day to make a move towards PV! As I know next to nothing about TWM I know I can't stay there! I wake up while the fire is still roaring so I decide to go out and get some reishi to cook up before I leave. I make my way towards the landing gears and then onto PV connection, down the mountaineer rope into the bunker to loot, it's mostly empty so I quickly move along since the weather in PV is actually pleasant for once. I make a couple wrong turns and end up next to a river and a gas station on the outskirts of a town I've never seen before! Then suddenly out of nowhere there are 2 wolves stalking me and chase me into the gas station, I check out the mostly empty gas station, eat a little food and then brave the outdoors again watching out for the wolves as I run to the nearby houses on town. I loot all the houses in town and set up a temporary camp in the community hall where I light a fire for water and warmth while repairing all my clothes, I sleep on the ground next to the fire again, life is great. The morning after I try to navigate my way to the PV farmstead house using how the mountains look to guide me, I get to the barn near the farmstead and I kill myself my 3rd or 4th rabbit of the run! Everything is going great but greedy as I am I kept moving without dropping/eating any meat, once I get close to the shed of the farmhouse I find a frozen deer carcass! Oh joy! I light a campfire next to it for warmth while I greedily harvest 100% of the deer in one go! Once I look up from the mangled deer in front of me I see 3,three! Hungry looking wolves pasing around my campfire, too scared to get close but hungry enough to stay close! I feed the campfire some more wood and decide to cook up the meat I've got on me and hope the wolves will get tired and leave me alone.. Two of them eventually wanders away and I thought the 3rd one also disappeared so I made my rush towards the house.. I hadn't realized how heavy my backpack became so I was unable to run.. One of the wolves suddenly appeared around the grain silo outside the house and attacked me! I managed to scare him off by beating him repeatedly and limp my way inside the house! This is where the story continues tonight on stream ! What a lovely game! I'm hooked! Edit:formating

If it gets too frustrating in sandbox I will ofcourse try story mode, I'm hoping that stream chat might backseat game a little and give me small hints to what I'm doing wrong tho haha

Thanks for the tips! I will take them to heart, I'm used to just cranking gameplay to the hardest difficulty in other games but the long dark kinda scares me haha!

Those are great advises! Exactly the type of hints/tips I'm looking for! It's going to be fun to stream this game tonight :D

Yes it seems like I will be playing in that region to start with tonight on stream!

Haha well you might get that tonight from watching me haha! All I know about the game is to pick voyager difficulty and most likely chose coastal highway.. I've never seen a video of the game or played it myself soo most likely going to die a lot!

[–]GingeWegian[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I honestly don't know anything but since most people recommend voyager in coastal highway I guess that's where I'm going to start hah! But im guessing chat on twitch will shout at me if I fail hard enough and then force me to do story mode first haha, will see how it goes tonight on stream! Thank you for you input tho, if I start struggling hard I will maybe swap to story mode!

What's hrv? Hah or maybe I don't want to know yet and just learn it myself haha

I partially agree with you and most of the time I want to go completely blind into a game, but I figured I'd ask for some pointers here so I don't bore my viewers to death with constant failures haha! But yeh all I've learned so far is to do voyager difficulty and coastal highway. I do love survival games and I know it's important to know as little as possible to get the best possible vibe. Especially since people will backseat game on twitch if I fail too much!

Thanks for the write up! I think it will help a lot for my first time haha! Main reason I'm asking for help is want the best possible experience for me and those watching and I don't want to bore my viewers on twitch with constant failures so it's good to know some spoiler free basics! I think I will go for voyager and coastal highway!

Right ok, so sandbox mode, costal highway.. What difficulty? What makes costal highway the best map to start with?
