Winter sucks in this game

[Zoltan]

Usually water is not hard to find in winter time. So much snow, ice can be melted, axes can break through layers of ice. The cold should be the main issue not water.

Having to stay by a stream for a whole season really makes the game suck when it has so much potential.

Devs please fix or just don't freeze our water sources until you give us the tools in the game for some realism.

All these plastic pails sitting around and you can't use them. One of the best items in a survival situation. We should be able to at least put turtle shells near a fire. Come on devs this is silly.

Boiling ice for water in the turtle shells is a highly needed feature

So basically I was forced to build a winter base near a couple of streams. Then I found the 3 d printed canteen.

Now I am finding when compared to the 1st game....The Forest, it does not even have half the stuff you can make. Some devs say its done. Word is they may not add more things and some say its now in early access.

How can this game not even surpass the 1st game?

I mean I love this game, but feel I can't play anymore because too much is missing. I don't play it for the story line.

Did the fan / player base just get taken advantage of?

the game definitely needs some work. the only time i even drink water or eat is when i need healing or my exhaustion meter is almost all red. i got to the point where i completely ignore it and i never die from it. im not sure what it is but the forest seemed much more rewarding for playing the role of survivor.

Come on guy, winters are super easy now. Just grab a 3D printed bottle, fill it up and live without worries. There is so much water sources that doesnt (for some unknown reason) freeze in winter.
If anything they should freeze everything and make us melt snow or make a hole in the ice to get water.

Change seasons to short.

I dont get it the rivers in my game still running and I havent touched any settings?

i hated the winter till i started using it as an opportunity to build on the ice... Now its a race until the thaw to get certain things done...

Hopefully we get the ability to make coffee or something to keep us extra warm during the winter once we are set up..

First winter should be a PITA though....

[Zoltan]

Yes that is an advantage of winter. But we know it really makes no sense. We should be able to use drums to float log supports

ngl, was sad to learn i couldn't carve a hole in the ice and get water/fish.(hello - chainsaw)

Seems like something reasonable to look for in future updates.

You don't need water as long as you can easily get to a camp or bunker where cans of energy drink spawn. There are lots of locations like that and you can carry ten cans at a time. Far more useful than a water bottle.

A big problem with snow is that it covers a thick layer which hides items under it.
Rocks, sticks, even extinguished fires, all disappear.

I agree, winter can have a lot more mechanics fleshed out. And the winter does not make you less cold for some reason.

also, bunkers are so kitted out of stuff you need to survive but there is no functionality. The food bunker has a hydroponics bay for crying out loud lol.

EA really is the finished product, everybody knows this. Hopefully complaining about winter will change this

[Zoltan]

It will be interesting what the next update will bring
