@rbos yeah, that sounds like a great spot. I haven’t spent enough time there to have settled on a favourite base. Cargomaster’s is good, but everywhere is so far away.
In my current run I have long cattail breadcrumb trails around HRV, from Starsteps to the scrub brush cave to Valley View. Took ages but very useful in a blizzard, I’m proud of my creation!
@rbos I’m always very reluctant to repair clothes that aren’t my ‘final’ clothes, like sports socks. I know I’m going to get two pairs of wool eventually, so I let my sports socks get right down to rags unless I’m desperate for the extra temp.
@rbos 70% is my threshold for clothing too. For tools, it’s more about when I have time to kill and I’m at a base with a whetstone or firearm cleaning kit. My knife, axe and any firearms are usually >90%
@rbos yeah, agree. Where it trips me up is that rosehips are a usable item now, so it’s no longer a no-brainer to prepare them as soon as you have a minute.
Plus for me, that’s an extra line to put in my already extensive inventory spreadsheet.
@rbos a nut or seed oil makes most sense. Acorn oil?
@rbos I don’t much fancy the idea of pancakes cooked in fish oil 😝
@rbos That’s my central base in HRV but I find that level of the map to be sooo hard to internalise for some reason. The charcoal map is no help, either. I’m really taking my time there rn so I can really get to know it.
