  • Hello, Love this game!

    Quote from slipsonic

    Me too! I'm taking a little break waiting for the water update, been playing The Long Dark a lot, but as soon as the update drops, I'll be all over it! lol


    The Long Dark seems like a good pure survival game. I picked it up last weekend when it was on sale.

  • Upcoming: Water update

    From a recent chat with Red on how the static water is being implemented, it is technically possible to dig out the bottom of a lake and have an air pocket. Dynamic water will fix this because water will conform to terrain changes but for now, it means I can have a underwater bedroom without the glass ceiling! ^_^

  • crystal caves

    for those of us who have the steam version then maybe crafting the suit and splunking Too Deep will unlock some kind of achievement.

  • crystal caves

    I really like the way that you think. If the name helldiver is not copyrighted by Microsoft then we should make a suit like that and I believe that it should look like the space suit from the movie Sunshine that was designed to withstand extreme heat. I would also like to put a symbol of a handbasket in the middle so I can say that I'm going to hell in a handbasket

  • lava tubes

    actually if you come across a lava tube and you are not sure if it's pressurized or not perhaps even tell by feeling the heat behind it or by blowing it up from a distance. I imagine that you do not want to be too close to a lava tube trying to open it up with a pickaxe. So it would be safer to drop a stick of TNT from above

  • lava tubes

    Well, another idea is that lava tubes, some which would be dry, would be a place to find rare crystals such as diamonds which are formed in the mantle of the earth

  • crystal caves

    In real life however, large geodes containing crystals are supposed to be pretty hot inside. In the video I posted, the explorers are having to take shelters in air conditioned spaces.

  • crystal caves

    Well, there's already a illness setting in the game that is associated with any food you eat but it is not yet implemented. So when it is, for example, if you eat raw meat then you may get sick and lose health.


    I'd like to think that environment will also play effect too. hypo/hyper thermia has been discussed already in older threads. So diving in water in a snowy biome should impact your health. i'd imagine getting close to a radioactive crystal could work too. I suggested a while ago a fictional element called Element51 (in honor of our amazing developer) that glows red could cause sickness but also could be a energy source. Clothing/armor should protect from heat, cold, and radiation. I certainly hope we would need special clothing to descend into hell without burning up.

  • lava tubes

    Yes exactly. the "pillars" seen in the deviant art image could be like lava tubes that transport lava from pressurized pockets further below hell and push them up to the surface. it would look creepy to see this twisty structure rising up in hell but would also move lava up through a tube.

  • Musik Player

    I'm pretty sure a music player which can link to your library has been discussed but I do not know if the developer is onboard with the idea or not. I think the chat was about making something like minecraft notes or to import sheet music into the piano. Personally, I just play the game with the game music off so I can listen to my music.

  • Upcoming: Water update

    Alright, I'm avoiding political discussions here. But thankyou for clarifying the image. It made me think how cool it would be to see Locke from Lost ride on a polar bear.
