not just one. few.
plus disappearing live animals too when they come across a steep slope or object like terrain (i.e. fallen tree, boat, nets)
this usually happens when :
- predator notices and coming straight at the player
- or an animal running away from the player
seeing these issues couple times
i feel like gravity(?) where whole world object jump or glitch (or just the player?)
when this occurs carcass disappears.
At the Last Resort Canery, I just had my own character glitch through the floor of the dock outside the main building there. took fall damage, got a sprained wrist and torn clothes when I hit the ice below. I was in the lookout tower just a few days (in game) before that, if that fall through glitch had happened up there, that would have been a deadly fall and ended a 300+ day run. Had there been a pack of timberwolves under the docks I would have been helpless to fend them off with a sprained wrist, so again probably a run ender there too. Was lucky there were none there at the time.
There's also been a number of reports of live wildlife being invisible or under the map. I even had an area where I fell through a solid floor and got sprains and fall damage, was lucky that floor wasn't high enough up to trigger an instant death! The area I fell in was also a timberwolf area so also lucky there were none there at the time or a timberwolf pack encounter with a sprained wrist would likely have been a run ender!
There's also reports of the bear near unnamed pond in ML is invisible again (can't confirm as no bear spawned there in my run) and I strongly suspect i ran into an invisible wolf near the ML-FM transition in ML, I could hear it snarling and growling as it was stalking me, but no matter how close it got, I saw nothing. Booked it to FM at that point as I didn't want to deal with that BS on a 300+ day run.
I killed 2 wolves and a deer, harvested all their meat and let it lie there, after I went inside and came back out, the only meat that was still there was the one from a quartered wolf.
Edit: My mistake, it actually is there, but only appears when standing literally right next to it.
If it's disappearing while there's still parts to harvest and before it's rotted away, that's odd and should not be happening.
I never heard of disappearing meat before, but I must say that it can be really hard to find meat outside, because its draw distance is so very short.
I have to agree and correct myself. It actually was there, I didnt see it because I had to literally almost stand on top of it for it to appear. I changed the settings and now I can see it from a bit further away.
I set everything to max, it improved a bit because the meat gets rendered sooner I think.
Yeah thats true but who can just carry around a 0,50kg bottle all the time just for the rare case of marking meat.
Marking meat is just ONE use for it.
Just now I was in a session on Coastal Highway and got socked in at a fishing hut overnight by a blizzard and into the next day by thick fog while fishing. Once I left the hut, I had no way of knowing which way to go as I could see nothing but the hut I'd just left, the rest of the world was grey. Except, I left an arrow pointing the way back to Coastal Townsight and along the narrow path between where I could potentially run into wolves in the fog. So marking your way back in the event of visibility problems is another use for the paint.
I also use it to mark the safe path through the Muskeg as thick fog is common there and can set in in a matter of moments. i've been caught out in fogs and blizzards that came on suddenly on the Muskeg a few times, but having my painted arrows path has saved me from a few frozen deaths.
I also used it for a similar purpose on Signal Hill when I was collecting the buffers as a late game goal in my current run, and needed to be able to find my way back and forth between the cave I was staying in and the radio tower to check on the buffers whenever I'd get an aurora. It's pretty easy to get turned around up there if a blizzard hits and catches you out in the open. And we ARE talking about Pleasant Valley, so blizzard problems aren't exactly out of the ordinary. Using a line of arrows and a danger marking to remind me were I'm entering wolf patrols in case of fog helped save me from freezing while turned around in a blizzard, or once even blundering into a wolf in the fog.
The paint's also good for marking where you've already explored with a big, orange "X" so you don't waste time searching the same things over and over.
There's a lot of creative ways to use the paint to help your survival if you're willing to explore your options.
It can be too easy to fall into the trap of getting used to playing in a certain way and just dismissing anything that disrupts the familiar routine. I've fallen into that trap before in TLD, but have since taken on the attitude of "how can I use that for _?" whenever Hinterland decides to throw a new item into the mix, rather then "bah! that's useless!" Some items can have very surprising and helpful uses if you keep asking yourself the right question about it and investigate what it really does.
