    Zak going back and forth between gathering tinders and throwing it away in a drawer when he remembers he started with Fire Starting perk is funny. It's like a running gag of the challenge at this point. "how much tinder do I have?" "why am I carrying all this tinder?"

    1:49:00 you still know that the second bear spawn is on unnamed pond, because you meet him allready.
    And I like the fact that after every break you get confused about the tinder thing…

    • @Zaknafein

    The salt peter and stump remover is probably something you'd want to gather in a run like this.
    If you make the gun powder, that's accelerant for emergency fires.

      Yep, I've been walking the dog for over a year. Your videos are always great, but I hate to tell you, you were upstaged on this topic. I have always wondered why wolves charged occasionally. Like you, I tend to push a bit far into my health sometimes, or carry sprains back to base and occasionally I have played for my hubris. Now I know. Just need to get my 500 in before they change animals. Cheers.

    I have to be honest. This game is so much better if you dial down the wolves massively. Since my first custom run i've not gone back to the original difficulties. I get the obsessive, overly aggressive wolves are the main threat of the game, but it's just not interesting spending all your time dealing with wolves. I make everything as difficult as I can, especially loot abundance and weather. Does anyone else play it that way?

    • @zelig1799
      @zelig1799 Рік тому +2

      @sethblank3139 haha, as a bit of a hermit myself I HAD to turn cabin fever off as it's such an alien idea. There are FEWER wolves on interloper than stalker? I didn't know that. From the playthroughs I've seen, still seems high. I use low on my customs, which I think you'd need to drop down to Pilgrim to get. I agree on the guns too. It's reasonable that you'd find a rifle in a region like that, so I also add the rifle.

    • @MagusSartori
      @MagusSartori Рік тому

      I eventually started to appreciate the wolves. after I stopped being afraid of them in my first play throughs, they become part of the puzzle of knowing map layouts/spawns, planning routes, and being prepared for the expected difficulties. And once you have cooking 5 they seriously become a major food source.
      I'm doing a 500 day attempt on stalker now.
