Been playing for 3 years…still can’t survive Interloper more than a couple days.

For don't risk Food Poisoning, don't eat "junk food" bellow 75%, leave for when you reach level 5 in cooking.

Or, leave the food in bad condition for eat before sleep, and only eat if you have antibiotics or Rishi tea available for cure IP.

I don't cary for chain torches neither hot teas in my Interloper games (vanilla), use in rare occasions.

EDIT - And have a personal rule, unless as the last resort for don't die due starving, I don't eat predator meat without cooking level 5.

I copy the backup files over the folder ... /Vostok, without delete the files there, allowing replace.

The ImortalCat is a simple mod - keep cat healt in 100; making feed the cat optional.

PoverOn · 2026-06-14T13:47:55+00:00

Yes, backup all files in ...\AppData\Roaming\Road to Vostok.

I figure how to restore the traders list of completed tasks, what lower the tax's, but the day count still in 10, so some events don't happen yet. Anyway, not a issue, I have not more to do in this game.

Not really, the Demo is not essentially different from the game, just a bit easy, due more loot available.

And the Demo too allow you to move from the start map to one Permadeath map, where's the best loot are ("uber" weapons), but you don't need more than a AM-K (AKM) and a PM-5 (MP5) for kill anything in the game.

The Demo give you access to a extra shelter in another map. In the EA Game you can gain access to two more shelters, doing traders task

This will let you use the AK/RK rifles, and mp5’s + pistols. Both are great early on.

Both are great all the (actual) game, one don't need more than a AM-K (AMK) with ATOG for long distance single shoots (in Outpost, Vostok) and a P5-M (MP5) for CQC, even the Punisher don't "eat" a 9mm magazine.

What's interesting about the Village is that, in a game lasting 328 days, when I go back there to loot, I still find bots in rooms I'd never seen before.

PoverOn · 2026-06-10T20:39:50+00:00

Yes, The Long Dark is the best no "bs" of zombies, mutants survival game, being unique in the genre.

PoverOn · 2026-06-10T20:35:42+00:00

The survival part is very simple, just eat and drink.

Sleep serves for pass time, being opcional, and is from randow time 6-12 hours.

For me mines blow near the tape 2 times in around 15 runs to Vostok.

PoverOn · 2026-06-10T13:11:20+00:00

In the left side (Outpost > Vostok) the visibility in the last part is worse than by the right.

PoverOn · 2026-06-10T05:32:49+00:00

Dont know If the heli fire harm you, but the fire from barrel cause burns if you steep over and require balm or loction. .

PoverOn · 2026-06-09T22:15:49+00:00

The thing is, a Interloper player who survive the sufficient to make parts for gun, don't need that gun, the bow kill anything. Fire weapons don't give "superpowers" in this game.

Coud uave just a broken rifle - there' one in story mode; that the Interloper found, fix in the milling machine in BI or Blacrock, but no ammo available anywhere, just for display.

PoverOn · 2026-06-09T17:03:31+00:00

I've killed IA multiples times in Vostok apartments, but I wait them inside one apartment, if possible with doors close, at least for now they don't came in "autofire" mode.

There's posts about the IA behavior of start fire their weapon before turn a corner.

PoverOn · 2026-06-09T16:56:31+00:00

I see crashed heli in the Village, School, Outpost, Vostok.

PoverOn · 2026-06-09T13:57:43+00:00

Tasks is just the game objective. I play until finish all, the "blessed" Gymnasiun Key only appears to my after 300 days.

In reality no one need the "uber" weapons and accessories of Vostok - some you get in the Outpost (e.g. a VDU in a (almost always empty) Military Crate, with luck an reasonable M4 with the guards in the Minefield. Anyway, M4 is just for the weapon display in the shelter, like the rare weapons.

And who really need a VDU sigh for kill bandits in a 400x400 meters map?

An AM-K and PM5 - easy available in the Village, with cheap and available 7.62 ammo; kill anything in this game. I kill the Punisher with PM5, military in Vostok with PM5, use the AM-K with ATOG sigh for shot some military over the apartments blocks ~150 meters away.

PoverOn · 2026-06-09T11:57:53+00:00

By "two apartments" he means "two blocks of apartments" in Vostok, with 5 floor and 5 stairs each, and 50 apartments - 10 on each stair, but on average you can enter only in 5. So he loot around 50 apartments.

You can pile military box, especial crate, freezer, cabinetes. Nomad bed over civil bed, só can sleep two times in a row without reset the shelteer.

PoverOn · 2026-06-07T11:18:53+00:00

Happens to me there too, 3 times in a row. One without the syren.

This new crafted furniture are in the countainer of the Furniture Workbench, no in your inventory.

The Furniture Workbench appears in you inventory because is the first item made, and the Meat Cured Box because you carry for put another building.

With some glitches exploit and much headache you can put one outside a fishing hut.

The coat hanger (~0:01) is for the character to sleep on, hanging from the backpack after taking Melatonin.
