How to make bedroll.

[DankWestern]

Howdy all, I've done the quest for the fire pit, and the kiln, but there's no option in existence for a bed roll.

I went through every page of every menu in construction, and every menu in items, and then I figured out that there's a search function, but bedroll is just... not there.

Anyone know the secret?

[Salvatos]

You can't.

[DankWestern]

Well that's just trash, I'm uninstalling and will just let it age I guess. I don't like refunding games, but that's got me tempted. Hopefully someday they will implement this, but my OCD is killing me with the task telling me to make one. Seems bizarre that they'd say that, yet it doesn't exist in the game. Oh well, I'll just sit by for a year or so, leave a negative review for now, and try to update it once the game reaches a playable state.

I don't remember a task asking to make a bedroll, unless it was added silently in the last update. Are you sure it didn't just ask you to *place* yours? Maybe a mistranslation if you're playing a different language.

Here's the screenshot of it.

Like I said, it's just unacceptable to demand something of the player which does not yet exist in the game. I left a negative review explaining that, and I will dutifully report back in a year or so when they get the basics of the game implemented.

Thanks for the assist by the way, I spent way too much time trying to find something that doesn't exist, and you spared me of future troubles with that task!

Take care, all!~

The bedroll should be part of your starting inventory. As I suspected, the task is simply to right-click it and choose Place to put it down somewhere.

[DankWestern]

Well, it's not lol. I did check my inventory before all else.

Sorry that you're running into issues with the game! This is what the bedroll should look like in your starting inventory: https://imgur.com/a/ZNQce1R It's pretty big and hard to miss.

From your screenshot it looks like you slept through the night, given that the "Setting up camp" objective is complete. Do you remember how you slept in the game? You would have either had to sleep on the bedroll or use a "sleep on the ground" action.

One thing that I can think of that happened is you accidentally dropped the bedroll somewhere.

[DankWestern]

Hi, dev, I ended up just sleeping on the ground due to there being no other option, and that bedroll is HUGE! There is NO way I wouldn't have seen it!

Since I'm out at work currently, I decided to launch it up on my Steam Deck during my lunch break. The save from my desktop wasn't showing up, which is not a big deal considering I never really made it very far in the first place, so I started a new game, and there it is in my inventory. I would never have missed it. Maybe it just bugged out for that playthrough, and I got the bad luck of a first impression that way.

I will adjust my rating back to positive as soon as I get home, but I would genuinely be curious to know why the option to simply make one does not exist?

Surely bunches of people misplace theirs or lose it, or in weird and rare circumstances, possibly are missing it on launch.

Any plans on making it a craftable item?

[DankWestern]

Well, it should be considered at the very least since the missing bedroll was my only complaint so far. Game looks gorgeous and runs like a dream even on the Steam Deck.

Updated my review to be positive by the way.

The main reason I haven't added a crafting recipe for it is because I never had the time to implement the resources necessary to create one. I plan on adding a loom-type structure that uses long grass or similar material to create bedroll substitutes, but I haven't figured out system for collecting long grass yet.

But it is for sure on my list as I know it's not an ideal setup right now (hence me adding the "lie down on the ground" while back for cases where a bedroll is lost temporarily or permanently). I appreciate your feedback and your patience with the game as it grows! Thanks!

What about using the bear furs to make one, at least last I knew there was nothing to use it for yet. That would be an awesome way to use the bear fur.

[DankWestern]

Many games just use branches, I think there's more than enough existing assets to make a believable bed.

Anywho, glad this got cleared up, and thanks for all your hard work, dev. You've got a really cool game forming here.

[Zhe Toralf]

Just be glad you just missed it. I walked half the map for a quest and made camp there. After coming back home I realized I left my bedroll 😅

[Madd Llama]

Stick bed would be ideal. Gets you off the ground, as well as an option to add furs to it. Maybe have the coyotes drop furs, rabbits drop pelts with the option of scraping them into leather pieces if need be.

I have the same problem. There's no bedroll for me. Though reason might be that I died. After running into a kojote and dying my inventory only holds the backpack, the axe and the knive. Nothing else e.g. also those sausage like looking things in the top row are gone.
In single player the only option, since there is no lootbag (I think so, at least it's unfindable/unmarked), is to start a new game, if this happened in a coop, where your friend hosts and you join, then wellcome, you're f*ed. Maybe it's in the hosts save and helps when your host creates a new game, but in my case he already had a lot of time played to dump it.
