Small Survival Tips

[dmosbon]

Little things sometimes go a long way in surviving.

Here's mine for today:

When looting a car I always open the bonnet (OT - the car batteries could be possible source of power in future update? Item has been rendered within engine) so that in future I don't consider it as one that I missed.

I do this too!

Also, in my one Voyager play through, I developed a habit of incompletely harvesting carcasses when I kill them, especially wolves. It seems to me that the new wolves don't spawn in that area until the body is gone, and as an incompletely harvested carcass despawns slower than a fully harvested one, I've been using them to slow down the respawn rates. 

I just returned to my Voyager character for the first time since the v.348 update, so I don't know if that still holds true. Have to find and kill a wolf first . . .

Glad I'm not the only one!

Interesting point on respawns. May try that myself...

I don't know how well that works because I've noticed there's a group of wolves that kinda migrate around the map. However  it seems like there's still particular lone wolves that stick to specific places so I'll see if this still works for those guys.

I think the've fixed that,or at least i havent noticed yet,but what i've noticed is that after you kill ~4 wolves during 3 days they have a cooldown system of~1-2 days.The image i posted i from Costal Highway,after two days all four of them where roaming the lake.

About the cars...Is it possible to take something from the hood,or is it possible to extract fuel from the car?because the gas lid can be oppened.

Not yet, but I assume they're planning ahead for some future feature.

Are the sun visors in cars just a gimmick right now or did anyone ever find something in them?

Well the best tip is ... 

Don't run in a hopeless rescue challenge unless weather gets veryyyyy cold !!!!

Back near the beginning of 2016 I found a candy bar above a visor.  Haven't seen one since.
