    My favorite base so far is the camp office. Good storage, a lot of space for guts and skins to cure, it's very close to the fishing huts for food, and I have a corpse upstairs who is my room mate. I call him Bob.

My advice is on a new save go straight for the carry weight items. Get a rifle and some decent clothes and go to TM to get a moose. After you get it, let it cure in the cabin while you travel to AC to get the backpack, then once you get back to TM you can make the moose bag and all the sudden you have tons of carry weight which makes doing everything else much easier.

    I haven't finished the story mode yet, I am at Blackrock. I decided to try out survival mode to take a break from the main game and now I am hooked on it! I haven't played on interloper yet, I am playing on Voyager to get the feel for the game. I am just over day 100 on my first run-through and am having a blast! I am thinking of making the jump in difficulty because my main issue is boredom. The only time I feel threatened is when I make a silly mistake or push for something that I should have just waited for.

    I think that Hinterland during a next big update should add a "Level 6" to at least some of the skills. For mending it should be that once you repair something to 100% it will stay at 100% until it is damaged either in a fall or during an animal attack. For the Archery Skill, you should be able to make a Sling Shot and launch stones to kill rabbits and bullets to scare wolves. For Fire Starting, 2 stick should be enough to start a fire; just rub them together if you have the fire pit set up already. What do you guys think?

    • @shadowdeslaar
      @shadowdeslaar 2 роки тому +26

    My favorite base is Town Hall in PV (I play on Voyager and sometimes Stalker). It has 6 cooking spot stove, lots of storage locations (one of them is 200 kg wardrobe) so I can put different stuff in different storage. But my favorite part about it that even if I come back there during night time I don't need to use any light source to get from entrance to bed on the floor. There is a cave nearby where I can sleep to get rid of the condition when you can't sleep inside a house, few rabbit spots, lots of deers around and one of the biggest birch bark spawning areas in the game nearby. Bear and moose may also spawn there, and if they won't there are many other locations where they can spawn in PV. Fishing spot is somewhat far but it's ok - I rarely use it. The only thing that this base spot is missing to be absolutely perfect for me is a crafting table. It's not far in the Barn but there are wolves around, or I can go to the safe one in Farmhouse but it's a little bit far away. Overall PV is my favorite location in the game so it's a win-win for me :)

    I recently decided to make the camp office in Mystery Lake my main base, my other favorite building is Pleasant Valley's Thomson's Crossing, the community centre (the six-burner stove is a big plus and I like the building itself, light and spacious) and I also love the Farmhouse there for the same reasons). My favorite region is Coastal Highway but it's very poor regarding the locations that can be made bases. I have a secondary base there in the coastal house (the green one), but it's very dark and I cannot be inside without a lightsorce which makes it difficult to manage stuff.
    I only make main bases in areas where I can fish.
    And I only choose a bulding as a base if it doesn't have a corpse inside. In my first gameplay the camp office had a corpse that made me uncomfortable so I had my base in the Trapper's Cabin. Now in my second run, the corpse didn't spawn there so I'm good.

    My favorite base is the Mountainer's Hut on Timberwolf Mountain! It's prefect for a chill playthrough style like mine, fishing hunt right outside, along with tons of cattails for an early headstart on food. Bunny and deerspawns right outside, so I get to see them walking around when the sun comes up and it's gorgeous. Tons of wolves, a beer, a moose I occasionally see, and about 3 good caves in walking distance. There are also plan containors that you need a hacksaw for that are full of supplies. The hut itself is very nice with two beds, floor storage, work bench, and a beautiful fire place. There's a giant hole in the roof but as long as you keep a fire going during a blizzard you're fine. I've been living here for 76 days now and I am very content to just stay here indefinitely with occasionally going to Pleasant valley and Ash canone for more manmade supplies. :)

But my top 3 are the ML Camp Office (almost perfect except for the yuck factor of an indoor corpse), the PV Community Hall (has everything but a workbench, but several are nearby), and the CH Quonset Garage (CH Garage was my #1 until I graduated to playing Stalker difficulty and the wolves got too bothersome).

      There’s a spot in mountain town, between the church and the farmstead where you can become glitched into the snow hills. Just ended my 50 day stalker, still pretty sour about it. One thing Hinterland should do is ad in a stuck fix of some sort, maybe you could check it as an option in the settings then save and quit and when you respawn it could give you five meters of free walking. Yeah it could probably be manipulated and bugged, but it would be hard to break the meta of the game if you had to save and reload. And hell, you’d still have to be able to use a bedroll to save which I don’t know if I even had one on me. Sorry for rambling, I just know that it’s so frustrating to be stuck “dead” when you’re at full condition and know exactly where you are and what you wanted to accomplish.

    Hey Zak, i got an idea for your "things to do" list. first time i have been in the mines at ash canyon (backpack n craboons), and after i looted everything inside the mines, i decide to check again the front area outside before leaving. so im taking this walk by the river to check if there is a body close to the waterfall, as you spoke of in your AC video, and why not, check the view to the lower levels from there. so here i am standing to the edge of the waterfall. Hell this looks like an easy way down, going from one rock to an other like a real goat. why dont i give it a try, and if it turns i cant, then i ll hit esc, and reload back in the mines cave. first little jump goes fine. plenty of space to move, i could even put the bedroll down and take a nap with the sound of falling water in my ears. second jump down and boom. strain ankle and saving. F@ck. i can't go back. So i got to climb all the way down, and in the end, if i make it alive, there are 4 wolves waiting for me just in time for dinner. i wont say to you if i managed to get away alive, its just an idea for your list. climb down the mines waterfall in ash canyon.. bb

    Can you use the lantern to light up stoves and campfires? I figure fire and bandages from cloths would be the first expended resource that would cause your death. I guess you can live past your last matchstick if you’ve cooked a ton of meat and boiled also a lot of water, but ultimately you’re dead because you ran out of fire. But the you’ll be doomed when your last lantern can’t be repaired from depleted metal scrap. And finally I figure running out of cloth, hence bandages, will get you killed from bleeding out open wound eventually…

    Turn Right.
    Go until you look up and there is a fallen tree HIGH above you.
    There should be a 'V' spot up against the world wall where you can place a fire. Careful. There is exactly ONE pixel you can put the fire on.
    The spot is wind proof EXCEPT, if you go in an out of transition zone while the wind is blowing hard enough to put out the fire
    You can put a bedroll on the ice shelf to the left of the fire, if you are facing the world wall.
    You can climb up on the shelf above the fire by climbing to the left then jogging back to the right.
    From the shelf, if you crouch, you can reach the fire and the bedroll.

    Wow. I thought that the maximum amount of days possible to survive is about 2 000, but when i saw all of these cured saplings i understood that it's about 3 000 or even more, bcs. the fire is infinite (mag. glass + sticks), water and food is infinite too, the outlayer clothes are made of animals and pretty much infinite too. They only finite thing is scrap and cloth, so the biggest problem will be wildlife encounters and tool management. (Kinda sad that moss bandage doesn't treats bleeding. it would be great)
    I'm always trying to set the base at camp office, bcs. it's pretty much the best due to the resources around - a lot of wood, deer, fish and rabbits with not such a huge threat of encountering wolves. But if the camp office wasn't existing i would choose the milton town, bcs. it has pretty much of the resources needed for survival, but there's always a chance to encounter a wolf when running from church to the home or from the home to the gas station. Also, Milton is pretty good because there are a lot of cars and houses to store loot inside.

      Things wash up on shore after every blizzard IIRC you can get clothes arrows saplings tools ammo
      Meds food etc.
      Sometimes a boat can wash ashore with arrows and axes
      Or flare guns
      Also lockers and trunks can wash ashore
      I like to spawn in coastal highway get a full outfit made from as much animal poets as I can and a good stockpile of 20 or so arrows and tools then adventure out
      I always harvest stuff by hand or use a heavy hammer (hammer can be repaired with wood that also washes on shore )
      Scrap metal and harvestable things also was up on shore so you can use that
      And if you get bored of fishing you can go hunting since saplings can wash up on the shore
      Also just an FYI
      Saplings rose hips and lichen do not respawn
      The only things that respawn are branches tree limbs sticks stones and birch bark
      You can find all of these things on the shore though when they wash up
