Item idea- Vitamins

[Impos!]

With the introduction of Scurvy- I feel like it makes sense to have Vitamin C tablets around, findable in medicine containers and such. Especially in a place that may of had hard access to vitamin rich planet foods even before the slow death of the world set in. ( Probably very short grow seasons.)

On top of that, maybe there could be Multivitamin Tablets as well- that have a Moderate Vit C amount, but also do something else beneficial. Perhaps they make your condition drain slower when you're losing it from one of your needs being empty?

And Vit C tablets would probably just be a straight, light, portable, non-expiring source of Major Vit C.

The trader trades them...late in his 'quest'.

Along with caffeine pills. Both of which seem to appear as a trade item just before Goods and Services triggers.

If you have the dlc, you ca. Get some at the trader after advancing his quest.
4 pills cure scurvy completely.
If you have scurvy risk, you can take 3 without wasting anything and be safe from scurvy for a while.
Otherwise you can get pickles that are quite cheap as the trader right from the start. 10 jars of pickles to cure scurvy, much heavier than pills obviously. But no smell unlike fish.
Otherwise you have to fish or get birch bark tea as a long term curz to scurvy.

Huh- I haven't met the trader yet actually, I'm just getting into the game again after a break.

I know talking to him has something to do with the radios, and possibly something to do with signalling him on the coast?

Do you need to be along the ocean to interact with him? I'm all the way out in Blackrock.

If you do not have the TFTFT DLC then you don't get the Trader. But basically, you talk to him on a radio, placed in several fixed locations around the island. You can arrange to exchange goods but only from one fixed location in CH. You never actually get to meet the Trader.

Rright, yeah I have the DLC- I've been to a couple of the "Upper great bear" locations, Forsaken Airfield mostly (Was that it's name?).

I probably won't be getting to interact with the Trader any this run then,- I don't tend to wander the map forever, get bored, start over from scratch somewhere new.

I thought at least maybe he would be approachable from several spots along the coastline, but, hmm. That's really restrictive.

You can certainly stay in CH and deal with him, if that is what you want to do. It certainly makes for a compelling reason to stay. Although, even that gets old soon enough. For me at least.

Mmm yeah, that does get really boring.

I like Coastal Highway a lot as a map, but after I'm done exploring a region, I tend to want to move on- or I'm just a bit tired of the game and it's time to do something else.

I enjoy the game most when I'm exploring a place I don't already know by heart. So I avoid Milton, Mystery Lake, Coastal Highway a lot now. Been trying to get started on some of the harder maps to explore them- but I don't think places like Bleak Inlet and Timberwolf Mountain are really set up for you to start with nothing there on Stalker. Ppffp.

At least not if you don't have them mapped out already.

Pleasant Valley's pretty fun for a hard starting map- plenty to get you on your feet and weather that'll knock you back off them.

♥♥♥♥♥♥ huge though, for better or worse.
