I always find it interesting how sometimes every possible thing that could go wrong does and you have no choice but to walk miles through a blizzard in search of warmth, or it’s simply a lack of knowledge or even simple over confidence. Thought I’d like to read through other people’s stories on how their survivors met their ends :)

im geting ready to go to ch to set up a new base, and im wandering how u guys die? im 30 days in on my voyager playtrough and closest iv been to dying was in HRV when i ran into timberwolves or in MT when i got chased by a bear going for the preapers cache, only thing that killed me on another play trough was the cold, i was stuck in broken railroad exhuasted and decided to sleep on the ground and froze

Most of my load out weight is just clothing. I play with all clothing slots filled, but I do try and limit weight of each item. Does everyone play fully clothed or does anyone play with some empty clothing slots?

Long Recap of my final days ahead:

——

I made it in on day 75ish for the first time ever saying to myself “oh, it looks nice and open, I’ll spend my final 25 days to my goal of 100 here”.

After spending a night in the trailer on the way in, dangerously low on food, but fully decked out in clothes and such, after looking at the map, I said I’ll take the river to the airfield and grab all the cat tails.

It was a blizzard for legitimately the entire day and night cycle.

I kept making a fire out of the wind with my coal over and over, but the wind kept changing, and I was in my last legs about to die, so took a last ditch effort running out into the storm at night into what I thought was the airport, and thankfully, as I stumbled in in the red I got inside.

I took a few days in the area looting for food inside and found little to none, but I was able to kill the only deer I saw not far from the airport.

I said f this I’m going back to mystery lake to recoop and finish out my days looting Costal highway, but to make matters WORSE, cabin fever starts when I get back to the trailer on the way back out east.

I spend the next few days hovering at about 20% health looking for a damn animal, and trying to sleep, and I finally make it to transfer pass, praying to see a deer, or hell, even a wolf. I needed food.

I was able to shoot a few ptarmigan (sp?) for a little bit of calories as I stumble into the cave to sleep and eat and freeze, cuz I had almost zero fire fuel.

I was able to get to the building in transfer pass as my cabin fever subsided to try to sleep and get a little bottle of health back in hopes I can make it to the next zone and find a deer, or at least some rabbits, to make my trek back east on the railroad tracks, but with my hunger unable to be raised at all after all my teas and cat tails were done, I couldn’t gain any health, and the 24 hour blizzards came again, so I began to accept my fate.

There was literally nothing I could do but to sleep an hour at a time in hopes the blizzard lets up and I can miraculously find an animal, but as I move closer and closer to death, the storm rages on, so I said f it, I’m going to die in my sleep, so I slowly, BUT WARMLY, AT LEAST! Slip into the Long Dark. Hopefully my wanderer went more peacefully than I did.

RIP Survivor day 83.

I was proud I made it that far, but in retrospect, closing in on my goal of 100 days (my longest interloper run previously was 33 days), I should have stayed where I was comfortable and explored the airfield on a different run.

If you have come this far reliving my final days, I hope you took some solace in the fact that I hate this damn game, but I apparently hate myself more, because I cannot quit it.

Hello all, I'm trying to experiment with the best clothing options to balance warmth, weight, and increased sprinting ability.

What do you use/recommend?

Hey, so I downed a bear, got his meat meaning that i can meet the food quota that the priest in community hall set. Does it metter that the food will continue to spoil in the storage? Now i have the food ammount checked. Will it uncheck if it spoils? Should i storage it outside and then put it inside when everything else is finished so i can do the quest? Thank you for your answers.

A few months ago I posted a different news story about ravens and wolves. This seems to be the counterpoint. Damn corvids are smarter than humans!

To my Person, im a lifelong Gamer. Born in 91, i grew up with all Sorts of great Games, Pokemon, Resident evil (and yes i was allowed to play it this early on Ps1), Silent Hill, Tomb Raider, Diablo, Gothic, Baldurs Gate, later on Oblivion and Skyrim...and many more. there are many legendary Games. Many games that i like to replay from time to time, many Games that mean alot to me.

But there is 1 Game i can never get enough of. 1 Game i hold in much higher Regard then everything else. 1 Game that is not just a Game, but also Therapy. And that is The Long Dark. I got countless Hours on Steam, playing it on the Go with my Switch or Steamdeck, at Gf's Place etc...

This Game is unique in many ways. The Artstyle. The immersion. The perfectly balanced way of implementing Realism into a survivalgame, but without making it feel like a hassle. The tense Moments you get when Weather has other plans than you do, a Hunt goes Wrong, when a run is fresh... versus the extremely relaxed Time you get when youre established, geared, and just enjoy the beautyful scenery while hunting, stocking up your regional Shelters, creating a perfect map, explore every little handplaced secret Hinterland knows so masterly to hide

When i saw the Video from Zak&Raph that TLD will get 2 new DLC, i couldnd help but ended up in Tears of joy. I play this Game since 8 Years more then everything else. If i had to play 1 Game for the rest of my Life, its this Game. No matter how stressful and shitty a Day could be, its nothing that 1,2, 3 or more Hours of TLD relaxmode cant fix.

But such a unique, perfect Game can only come from a unique and perfect Company.

I love Hinterland for prefering Handmade Things over generative AI crap (something much more Developer should do).

I love Hinterland for updating TLD for many Years without asking anything for it.

I love Hinterland for always listen to their Fanbase, and react (Things like spelunkers for Interloper, Scurvy toggleable on older Runs)

They are a Team that knows how to masterfully create a unique game, with so many creative ideas and such a beautyful World.

I have only favor. Please ask a fair Price your Team as well for future DLCs, not only for the Players, but both Sides.

TLD alone was very cheap, for the immense size of the map we got (for free) over the Years.

There are many Games that cost twice as much while having a Playthrough time of like... 8 or 10 Hours.

The Expansion for only 20€ with 3 Areas, 3 Tales, so much more Loot is a steal as well.

Dont get me wrong, i dont ask for this microtransaction shit that ruins many games today.

I just feel that Hinterland and Raph deserve more for delivering us so many over the years, and much of it for free.

Now i cant wait to get releasted from Hospital and start to play TLD again.
