  1. Killed a bear today... with a single arrow to the paw??? Decided I might as well spend the night cozying up to him. Thank goodness for my bedroll or I might've had to pull a Revenant... if you get my drift. Slept warm till sunrise. Didn't get mauled by his mate or a wandering pack of wolves. All is well in the world today!
  2. Posting my very first screenshots! Nothing like sipping on some piping hot reishi tea under the aurora emblazoned sky. I know it's only virtual, but at times like this, I feel such real peace : )
  3. Just wanted to pop in and say, I love these photos. Especially the one with the tracks Gorgeous!
  4. Haha, love your writing! Very enjoyable read. I think Mystery Lake will always and forever feel like home away from home for early sandbox players. <3
  5. This I did not know! I've been using knives all this while. I will try the hatchet the next time I get into a skirmish with one of them.
  6. I tried that, @stratvox! Didn't work. I can't continue crafting because crafting of that item is complete (no green checkmark). It's really odd and I've given up. Leaving that un-equippable bow in the Trapper's cabin as "set decoration". I've managed to cure another maple sapling and crafted a brand new working bow so all is good Thanks for your help, though!
  7. @s7mar7in You know what, I've noticed that too. Sometimes when I'm crafting at the workbench, I get interrupted / stop crafting even though my meters are still not empty or in the red zone. Oh no, what a missed opportunity! Well, we live (and die) and learn through this game, don't we? Haha.
  8. Hi everyone, I have a question! I wonder if anyone has experienced this before / if it's a known bug. So I made a Survival Bow at a workbench in Milton and when it was complete, I kept it in my inventory and didn't pay much attention to it. It was only when I got to Mystery Lake and made brand new arrows out of the broken ones from the Dam that I realised that the bow was stuck "In Progress" in my inventory menu screen. Hovering over the "In Progress" text, there is an hourglass icon that's frozen in place. When I drop the bow to the ground and pick it up, it equips and I can use it. But it will not equip any other way (i.e. using Weapon hotkey) and cannot be used from inventory menu. This made my gameplay experience quite tedious and frustrating. Ultimately I found another bow at 34% at the Unnamed Pond, also made a brand new bow at the Trapper's Homestead. Both bows equip without issue. Anyone ever experienced this? It's a pity because I can't harvest that bow for the cured maple sapling I wasted on it! (I can upload a screenshot when I get home from work, if that helps.)
  9. THAT. WAS. INCREDIBLE! The woman sitting on the stairs gave me chills. I'm never going to look at frozen corpses in-game the same way again.
