Regardless of angle i drop it at. This can be so easily fixed if the item dropped oriented to the player instead of the world. Aww. Missed my opportunity for meme.

Ruruwawa Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I just use the sun. It rises and sets in consistent spots in every zone: SE to SW. Ish. @Patrick Carlson mentioned in a test_branch thread that Hinterland are hoping to fix "which way is south" to be consistent across all zones (the orientation of a couple zones changed when they made the Great Bear Island map). Other than that, solar navigation works just fine in game. Solar navigation works great in RL too. I occasionally use a compass as well, but I find it's not worth the bother without a map. (The goal of a compass + map is to find a landmark you can travel to, especially useful when the terrain makes traveling in a straight line impossible.)

AlexandraRussia Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 And as you can imagine , the work of the compass ? if I'm not mistaken in the compass there be any thing which can fail , like all technology in the game , due to the geomagnetic storms.
