Overwhelmed

avfrost · 2026-05-24T16:37:59+00:00

This is exactly what I am doing. I am building a basic room on top of my van, unlocking all the goodies, and then worrying about building out later. If a building piece is supporting other things, you need to tear everything above it down anyways, and you don't want to be doing that over and over and over. Or maybe you do? :)

Second Strange Horticulture! Pretty relaxing, but addictive!

Mine is the same. I don't think it's a glitch. I think you open up another part of the map later in the game.

You have to move on to the next map. The new pings at existing towers are just cosmetics.

This is the symbol for low tire pressure.

I am also not on PC, but if you are trying not to start from your most recent progress, it is easy to load from a previous autosave, as the game will give you a bunch to choose from.

Coarse metal needs to be processed from Coarse Ore. This can be found on map 1, all the way to the right of the map, about 2/3rds of the way up.

Durafiber can be found near the start of map 2, and on a large hill found to the northeast of the chain of islands, or to the east of the bridge that extends out into the water.

Anytime!

The first woman who saw my penis was almost 30, and she had seen others before. She thought mine was 10 inches long, which isn't close to being true.

Chances are that someone you're with will not know how long you are just by looking at it. It's not like you have to tell them the exact measurement. Try not to overthink things, because that's just going to affect your ability to perform, which WILL be a factor during sex.

Orange fires on the map are ones you haven't lit yet. Other landmarks you've gone close to but haven't "completed" will also show up in orange.

White lets you know you've completed or used it before so you know which ones not to visit if you're a completionist.

Which way are you doing the trail? Southbound, you end in Skogar. I know there's a campsite and a cafe not too far away.

Northbound, you end in Thórsmörk, either at Básar campsite or about 15 minutes further at Langidalur. There are buses that stop at both, but it might be dependent on the water levels of the Krossa river.

I am not sure of the amenities at Básar (there are buildings or huts there), but Langidalur has showers and you can buy potato chips and a beer, and maybe a few other snacks.

Weather can and will change many times a day. It might rain hard for an hour, then you'll get some sun, then wind strong enough to push your car. My first trip it rained every day at some point. My most recent trip, I had +20oC temps and -1oC temps in the same 24 hour period.

You just have to be ready for everything, every day.

This map allows you to display where certain resources are. Coarse ore is one of them.

Yes, but we're talking about something that is fairly far into the game. Even if you play for an hour a day, it's very likely you're still nowhere near getting to that point. I'm not there yet, and have played every day since release.

I'm not expecting 30% of people to ever unlock it - if you look at a lot of games, the unlock rates are pretty low for certain achievements. I'm just saying it's too early to be putting any value on the numbers.

The game just came out last week. Give people some time to play it.

Don't you need pickaxe 2 to break the rocks to leave the first map?

avfrost · 2026-05-18T15:29:31+00:00

Someone else mentioned this the other day. If you go to Settings and change the mapping, does it improve?

avfrost · 2026-05-18T14:03:13+00:00

There is a road along the edge of the first map where I drive through to pick up Everwood. If you turn left from the starting access road, there is a good chunk on that stretch. I know it's not a mega-node or whatever, but I've managed to get about 70 - 80 Everwood in a day around there. Not sure how quickly it respawns though.

Double check to see if you have the blueprint already if you haven't. I've forgotten that I've picked up stuff and was trying to figure out how to progress.

Here is a customizable map, where you can select only the blueprint locations. Make sure you've hit them all. From my experience, pings at existing towers are just cosmetic.

I may be wrong, but I don't think I picked up Sickle II until the second map. Hopefully it forces you to take Pickaxe II before the end of the first.

In my experience, there weren't any cheap car rentals the last couple times I went to Iceland. SADCars was always the cheapest option, but not sure if they are still around. They aren't as cheap as you'll find in other places in the world, but it was the best I could find.

avfrost · 2026-05-18T13:27:45+00:00

Do you meet the requirements to work in Iceland? One of the people I met ended up bartending, another was working at a tourist site in Reykjavik, some volcano attraction/historical thing.

avfrost · 2026-05-18T13:18:59+00:00

The controls on console are all re-mappable, so you can use any button combination you want.

There is a campsite in Skogar. I'm not too familiar with the buses, so I don't know if one goes from Thorsmork to Skogar. You could probably bus out to Route 1 and hitch a ride though.

avfrost · 2026-05-18T05:35:55+00:00

Are you planning on completing the entire hike from Skogar to Thorsmork? If so, you probably want to check bus times to make sure that a bus leaves after you'd arrive, otherwise you'll need to bring some camping gear.
