Last thing I saw.... Wandering out in HRV during the aurora with the shortwave transceiver, looking for a cache. Survived two wolf attacks, then got cornered by the bear in the river canyon - he mauled me three times and I ran out of bandages. Another stalker lost in the Long Dark...

Agreed - this is Drift Island, and I've never seen a moose there before. He was there in the morning after I slept, so it seems like a valid location.

Yes, decay seems pretty fast. On Stalker, going from ML Camp Office, straight through FM to the BR Railroad Shed, mine went from 100% to 28%. It's particularly nice when you kill a moose or bear far away from one of your camps. Other times, it seems not worth the trouble, especially in messy terrain like TWM or AC, when you're climbing or moving across bridges, through tunnels, etc.

Yes, you can get a hit on the moose from up here. No, your local game warden would not approve of this. (Bonus points if you can tell where I'm shooting from...)

I voted no, but I can definitely see why someone might say that. And there are certainly moments of terror...

Even veteran TLD players may not realize that the game models the animals' excretory functions (Much like in RDR, where the horses defecate at random and often inappropriate intervals), and this is key to spotting the animals, as they will make their characteristic vocalizations when urinating. This doesn't work with the ptarmigans, however, which makes them much harder to hear, because.... ... the P is silent.

So.... I got out of the cave. But the bears won in the end.

So.... I installed MellonLoader, updated my .NET framework, and added the Jump Mod, then restarted my machine. And when I opened TLD..... The bear was gone.... leaving behind the flare shell I killed him with. <shrug> Many thanks to all who offered suggestions! This is a great community.

Zak says in this video that it no longer works... Googling "Long Dark Cheat Codes" now....

Thanks for all the suggestions! Gonna have to look up the campfire trick....

So I killed the bear that came for me in the HRV cave. The problem is, now I can't get out. It's been four days. His carcass is fully harvested, and I'm just sitting in the cave, melting snow, cooking bear steaks (thank heavens for Cooking Level 5!) and passing time. I think that because I'm next to the carcass, it won't de-spawn. I slept before I realised the problem, so I can't quit and restart. Any suggestions? @Support

Niiiiice....

Same here - very fast drain on the stamina meter while climbing.

Same here - had to quit and restart...
