Fresh baked bread without a ton of preservatives only lasts four or five days if you don't freeze it.
Ahmad earl grey. We buy the loose tea, about ten 500g boxes per year. Also use it for kombucha.
Someone tested that, but I can't find the video. They found that if you do X amount of ice, you get Y amount of hydrogen and Z amount of oxygen, or Y2 hydrogen or Z2 oxygen if you don't have storage.
So none of the ice gets wasted - it converts to either oxygen or hydrogen or both.
And then you have Terry Pratchett who gave us Mister Teatime.
Look into Sawyer water filters. Much easier to use than lifestraws, last longer. Pressure instead of suction.
On average, warmer air means more moisture. Yes, some areas will have less. But they're absolutely correct.

I think I'll probably just avoid staying in a zone for too long rather than attempting to tangle with it... dang. Genuinely terrifying.
Part Five of the Expansion Pass DLC for THE LONG DARK Survival Mode adds the Cougar, Misery Mode, Sundered Pass Region, and more features & content + bug fixes!
That could end up whiplashing as the administration passes between US factions, no?
So mad at them for cancelling that. It was a bright spot in a bleak landscape at the time.

I've really come around to the Forsaken Airfield. The little cave on the lake under the cabin kinda ended up meaning a lot to me. It's close to game and has good lines of sight. You need to put down trails on the ice to deal with the fog. There's a crafting bench and forge near enough to be useful with a day hike. Once you've looted the region, it's pretty nice.
The other cave on the lake would also work but it's less central, but is closer to the zone transition to ZoC.
Monolith Lake is also a high point for me, and more useful now that there's a bunker with a crafting bench in HRV. It just feels like a nice place to be. Good food security. I wish ice fishing were more viable in Interloper. Maybe with a snow shelter.
The next part of TALES features the Cougar, Cheat Death, Misery Mode, and a new Region!
Oh good. Hopefully it gets into the next release. Always hoping for some extra FPS.
Metal grids and motors are worth their weight in gold. Hydrogen thrusters are vanishingly rare, that's where I'm bottlenecked at the moment.
Splitsie's Scrapyard Engineers scenario is pretty great, I've been enjoying it, and if you haven't tried it, it's worth a crack.
The concept is that you basically don't get refiners or assemblers, and only a limited number of blocks you can make. Everything else, you have to find from wreckage strewn about the landscape. The goal is to get to space.
In addition to the base modpack, I strongly recommend Improvised Experimentation. The author also recommends it, but tunes down the carry weight so that you have to use cranes more. I didn't, but a crane is still extremely useful.
Apologies for the English, my monolingualism is entirely my own fault at this point.
The tldr: my grandmother grew up during WW2 in the occupied Netherlands, and migrated to Canada in the 1950s in her 20s.
She is likely in the stages of early dementia, and one of the recommendations for dementia patients is to find music that they'd likely enjoyed as teenagers or young adults. I'd like to see if I can find something that fits that rough description. I expect I can make do with the English catalogue of classic rock and country from that time, but it'd be nice to find something a little different.
Can someone make any broad recommendations for popular Dutch music from the 1950s? Ideally, something I can find in mp3 format, but I'm willing to spend some money.
The world is heating up and in the south something is stirring... The creatures of the Ashlands come to life as the biome update is here at last!

There's a video trailer, too.
May Developer Diary Hello fans, Here’s some news about what to expect in Part Five of TALES FROM THE FAR TERRITORY, which we are targeting for the second half of June (depending on how long it takes to test and clear console certification), as well as an update on progress around bringing TALES t...

This is our hand-drawn map of our immersive-mode Valheim map - I sail while my partner maps on the boat. We call out terrain observations, bearing, etc while we're sailing.
Currently, we're settled on a Plains island in the south, four days' sail from spawn, and have established a full base in preparation for Ashlands.
So, I've been playing immersive mode. We just took down Queen, which was a pretty good challenge, and packed up the essentials and went all the way from the deep north to the (completely unexplored) edge of the Ashlands. Deciding what to pack on the longboat was a huge challenge, and we forgot some stuff, but made it work.
One thing we took a risk on: we brought a stack of beech seeds. Turned out to be one of the best decisions of the trip! Once the initial round of tree planting was done, we had an inexhaustible source of super convenient wood without having to travel for it.
Does anyone else have any base bootstrapping tips?
The Long Dark is a survival game about living with your bad choices.

Survivors, the September Dev Diary includes information on an upcoming Quality of Life, new details on Part Four of TALES FROM THE FAR TERRITORY, and more.
A relaxing morning (Day 520) cooking in the airfield. I've found the control hut to be the best spot for it: the sheltered place between the two buildings shields you from the wind from two directions, and the opened doors mean that if the wind blows straight through from either direction, at least two fires will keep going.
Personally, I don't bother to repair my (Interloper) gear until it hits about 70% condition. I feel that reaches a good balance between keeping gear in good condition and not feeling like I'm wasting cloth/hides. If I have more than (say) two bearhides or four deerhides around, I'll repair earlier. And of course rabbithides are super easy to get and renewable, so I try to keep those above 90%.
Of course, I have a lot of cloth laid up now, and beachcombing is a fairly reliable source, so maybe 70% is too low. Should I go to 80%?
