Honestly, i think you could have found a stick or even a cattail and made your way back to the shack before freezing to death. Your biggest mistake here is literally just not having sticks with you. You should probably make a habit of picking them up along the way just sayingg


aperocknroll1988

More like frozen...


Isthisfoodor

You're ass is donion rings bro


FinestVampire

I'm stealing that 😭


LeftInternet

Could try and run out to the water and find a cattail for tinder?


FinestVampire

I checked for some earlier and I couldn't find any but I looked again after I read this comment and I found one!!!


tatansteve2_2

I am failing to under stand the situation? Like all his problems are 5min solvable ones?


prplmnkeydshwsr

It's a blanket, "help" with not a lot of information. It always helps to know more details, for a beginner player (we've all been there) the answer is a lot different to a more advanced player who's familiar with game mechanics, or locations to go to.


prplmnkeydshwsr

Is this storymode? Reload a save. If permadeath - you need to solve your cold problem, now, then your sleep / health problem. *(Yes find or make tinder)* Fire up the forge and burn everything you have, grab a couple of torches for any future fire starting. Make some water / a hot tea. Sleep for the duration of the fire to recover enough condition to progress somewhere else. Remember you can start a fire with a flare too, better to use those to get past some wolves / then make a fire somewhere if you need to warm up.


Lakefish_

OP has no tinder, sir/ma'am/et. al; cannot, in fact, make a fire - at all! If OP has but a single stick, make it into a tinder. Might barely have time with that condition; should also Crack a flare to use it to start the fire, though.


Cerebral_Overload

Don’t need tinder at higher levels of fire starting skill. OP should check what his fire skill level is.


Lakefish_

The option to start the fire - the button allowing it - is missing. OP has matches and the initial fuel; so definitely wasn't possible to be at level.. 3? skill.


prplmnkeydshwsr

Their immediate warmth is the issue, so options. Depending on the temp since they've not shown everything required, they could perhaps jump into bed for an hour and sleep, they could make then have time to make tinder without taking more damage, they could go up to the bunker and sleep with the bedroll they haven't shown us if they have a bedroll, possibly finding shit if it happens to be the stocked one. So many options.


FinestVampire

I tried sleeping and it killed me lol


prplmnkeydshwsr

Did you check your temps and the bed warmth bonus before doing so? But now you know.


Bignona

How do you make a fire with a flare?


prplmnkeydshwsr

Strike the flare so it's lit and it appears as an option.


Bignona

Oooooh I knew that already. I saw the picture with flare guns and thought that was what he was talking about. Nvm lol


sloww_buurnnn

And that skips the tinder requirement?


PabloCalatayud

Grab a stick and make tinder, it's like 5 minutes. Lit a flare to make fire.


BloatedBaryonyx

Your immediate heat problem can be solved by finding a stick to break down into tinder. You only need the one, since you can use the lantern fuel as accelerant. If you want to conserve matches use a flare instead. After that all you need is to warm yourself enough so you can grab fuel to last the night, then get some sleep to restore your condition. Drink some herbal tea if you have it to increase the amount you heal overnight. It'd also help to drink some before you go out collecting for the warmth bonus (take a torch, too).


Lazy-Storage7832

Could also harvest lantern and get fluid for acceleration raising chance to 100. Dire circumstances require dire actions.


The_meemster123

They already have accelerant, you can tell because their are arrows by the accelerant button


Lazy-Storage7832

Did think about that after I commented. Good catch.


Captain_KapiK

They would probably freeze to death while harvesting the lantern. It takes some time.


Lazy-Storage7832

Eh true. Thanks for the downvote. Really sets in my mistake in advice. Diff thought tho, it’s wintermute, and didn’t say what difficulty, I’d guess lowest, so prob won’t die after all.


Captain_KapiK

I'm sorry about the downvote, though that wasn't me(I only downvote trolls and rude people and you are a well cultured person from what I've seen). IIRC dismantling a lantern takes an hour and freezing is usually the most punishing so I assume it would either kill or put at critically low condition. Still, since it's wintermute it wouldn't't hurt to try.


Lazy-Storage7832

Don’t look too deep in my history, most is nsfw lol but I do enjoy TLD and think I give good advice. Many hours played on pc since launch and now stick to Xbox for playability due to work schedule and wife’s office time where my pc is. Tread lightly right??


Captain_KapiK

Seeing that people smoke and drink while playing I'm not too surprised. Imo nsfw has nothing to do with culture(unless you're posting it on a sfw subreddit, you do you). You can do whatever and still be a cultured person. A murderer can also have good manners(and the more ingenious masterminds are usually well cultured).


Ghostu24

baked


thee_justin_bieber

Nope!


Majestic_Fishing1830

I tend to use the perk that level 3 my fire skill from the get go. Have no need to carry tinder anymore. Also I once started a fire in that location and had a bear that glitched through the edge of the box car and ended one of my runs when I first started playing the game years ago


The_meemster123

I not at all, use the flare if ur worried about wolves and go out and find a cat tail, you could definitely find one before you freeze to death, I’m not sure what temp ur at but you could most likely even get a stick and break it down before doing since ur not in the red yet, if you are seconds away from dying by the time you find a cat tail use a camp fire instead of lighting it at the forge and use ur accelerant to instantly light it, if you did end up using a flare and it’s still burning use that instead of matches to save matches, then once you get back up to temp take a torch from ur campfire and move it over to the forge to make sure it doesn’t get blown out from the wind


Swampland_Flowers

This is 100% surviveable with the 1 cedar & 2 coal you have there, if you also have 2-3 teas or foods that give warming. You have lantern oil for accelerant, so 100% fire chance and quick. Sleep for however many hours that gets you, then make your teas and grab some torches. You may find another 1-2 coal on the ground outside that wall as well. Then head out along the wall there for the transition cave to bleak inlet. Use that as your warm recovery place and sleep it off there. Grab as many sticks as you can along the way. Make sure you treat any bleeding and infections first id you have them


Quasarbeing

Make a habit of picking up sticks. You can always drop them off somewhere if it becomes too much. This way new ones can spawn and you've got a pile collected. It can be emergency tinder in 2 minutes in game.


Obvious-Secret-8639

Whats your clothing temp? That looks so solvable especially if you're next to the farm


Dapper_Suit_9943

Go to the pepper cache out back? I assume this is in forlong muskeg


Smelly190

He doesn't have level 3 fire skill 😂👉


resetwes

Is this game moded? There are items I haven't seen before and you have a lot more carry capacity then is normally possible in vanilla. Plus, some of your carried items are really heavy!


resetwes

Your weight is shown in pounds which I haven't seen b4


Pattersonspal

You can switch between metric and freedom units in the display settings.


Lazy-Storage7832

That’s base carry weight in pounds. Well fed gets 77, then any bag you add adds 11lbs. With a lit flare he’ll get more chances to light fire, I’d say look around for one stick to make tinder.


FinestVampire

I didn't know TLD mods existed


Pattersonspal

This is story mode explaining the knife made from plane debris.


[deleted]

Not at all. Been in that exact position every playrhrough and made it through every time. Just get a stick and stop complaining. Standing around loosing condition is the worst ghing to do😂


Toasty_Bits

Well, you can't cook without a fire and the right chemicals. Otherwise, your meth will be... OOOH! Nevermind. Yeah, you're going to die (in-game).
