Kerosene?

[Dinocanid]

Anyone know all the places to find kerosene? I found some in the outbuildings but I'm afraid I used some of it a while ago. Did I softlock myself?

Keep looking, in new places. It's Story Mode, the game will always provide what you need to complete the Story and all quests, but it may not make it "easy" for you.

Are at least two Jerry can, two Storm Lantern (that can harvest for fill the Jerry cans) and two 0.50 liters cans to be found, more than the required 3 liters.

There's a good spot on the bank down river of Draft Dodger's.

Lamp fuel should also count as kerosene.
I say SHOULD, because I haven't actually tried it.

[Greggory Tame]

you also get kerosene from cooking fish, about 0.02-0.13L

[PowerOn]

Don't worry about find supplies around, by doing the side missions will find all is need, just one give you 15 KG of meat.
I think in the end I find 4 or 5 Jerry Cans - hardened survivor, that probably become "hardened" by carry all the stuff he find.

Where would I find that?

Hello. You have you tried searching in the three bunkers? They are usually there (once you access the quest line. Also you can find the other two in different locations (i forget where, should be a total of 5 jerry cans and some lanterns (at least on hardened mode).

The bunkers open up once you get the quest going. Worse comes to worse, fishing til you get those 3L. Also dont forget, add the food supplies last once you get all the items put in, so they dont decay over time while you getting supplies.

There has to be a bug. I've collected every item for the preacher's supplies except kerosene. Lantern oil and Jerry cans do not add to the kerosene requirement. I can't find any more Jerry cans, have never seen a bunker in the game.

Have you unlocked the side quest "Joplin's Bunker Raid" yet? The bunkers in that quest are filled with good loot, even on Hardened Survivor, including kerosene. You must locate the Forest Talkers bunker note to unlock the side quest, and it is in a different location in Hardened survivor than in Green or Capable Survivor (at least it was for me on playthrough of each mode on XBox One and Switch, I expect it will be the same when I finally finish the episode up here on Steam).
The note should be in Green and capable survivor I found it in the Rural Store, in Hardened I found it near a body (in a backpack, I think?) laying near the Derelict cabins. you need to pick up that note to start the side quest, not sure if you must read the note, I always did, though.

But if Jerry cans and lantern fuel do not work for the mission, how can it be completed?

They should, though. Verify game file integrity to fix any missing or corrupted files and redistributables, and see if they start registering. Also, make sure the pantry cabinet has space for them (is not at max capacity already- if it is, you may need to swap out items to fit capacity better. If I remember correctly, the pantry cabinet holds 100Kg weight, max. If you have it packed with a ton of heavy but low calorie food, and a ton of heavy but low burn-time wood/fuel for fires, you can end up with not enough room left in the cabinet. Check the bar at the top right of the screen as you are loading the cabinet up. You may need to swap out some things that you are loading up in there to make it all come in under maximum weight capacity for the cabinet.
For instance- choose foods to put in there that have a higher weight/kcal ratio- https://thelongdark.fandom.com/wiki/Food_and_drink
Choose wood/fuel for fires that have higher burn time/weight ratios: Coal has the best burn density, sticks have one of the worst (burn density is hrs/kg (lb).) (Sorry, the Wiki does not have a nice comparison table for wood/fuel, but if you look at Firestarting > materials you can compare burn time/weight ratios for what you have).

Stock that cabinet efficiently to not run out of weight capacity.

The items went into the pantry but did not change the count.

There is no "kerosene" in the game. It is called "lantern fuel", which in reality, are the same. This makes the game a bit confusing. I ran around for days looking for kerosene when all I needed was lantern fuel.
