"The long dark" is pretty good, but you should stop playing once you've completed the story and explored everywhere in survival mode. The loot loop is addictive in the worst way and you can lose a lot of time to mindless, joyless busywork and drudgery in the same way as games like Skyrim.
That is a boiler. You are right about the forging in this. It is very unrealistic, also that boiler is not very efficient. First of all most boilers have stopped using coal and the ones that do are very large and they use pulverized coal dust or coke from oil refineries. The reason for this is because efficient boilers burn in suspension. Realistically A boiler on a fishing troller would use fuel oil or diesel not coal. Forging in a boiler would not function well either because you would have to open the boiler up and for inside the firetube. It is not that it doesn't get hot enough but opening the tube means that you would screw with the pressure and how the suspension burn works. Boiler burns hold but not like what you would need to forge steel properly. The air would come from the intake and that is a matter of opening up the valve and with some thing that small it would need a fan to draw it in so that would would have probably gotten choked out.
Thank you, that's very interesting I don't know squat about coal boilers.
Thank you for letting me nerd out lol. @@MalcolmPL
doing things for anti-profit is unfortunately very relatable lol
Three subs down and counting! How delightful.
Just wanted to say that I really enjoyed your last video about the death rate graph, the apples vs cyanide comparison really hit the nail on the head there. Unfortunately couldn't comment there so it's here now😊
Seconded!
This was peak gaming and blacksmithing nerdiness. I enjoyed every minute.
This is such a great channel. Always worth watching your videos
Also what are these temperatures shown on screen? If its the boiler 162°C is way too low (baking cakes is done at hogher temperature) and if it's the room it's so hot it would boil your lungs
One of my favourite games. Great video. And good to know the forging is unrealistic. But I disagree that the moment at which you do your first forging "is an unnecessary [gameplay] inclusion". I've always found the forging moment to be really exciting and rewarding. You spend the first several days building towards that moment, preparing for it, and I've always felt the anticipation of forging is one of the most compelling parts of the game. Just my two cents.
It's just that there isn't any reason to engage with the system except on interloper. (Which isn't an enjoyable gamemode) Real knives axes and bullets are abundant enough that there isn't any need to make your own less effective versions.
Ah. True. I'd forgotten about the other games modes. Lots of us play TLD *only* on Interloper. It's amazing! You should give it another try!
I don't enjoy games that force me to play conservatively. I would rather be able to recover from mistakes.@@danhelman8076
You should react to the blacksmithing process in cataclysm dda which in a very weird way is how i found your channel, looking up possible instances of wooden armor from ancient times as a proof of concept for something i wanted to see in the game
underrated content
thanks
When it takes 15 minutes to process a small cardboard box in TLD I don't expect much else to be realistic. But its fun to play on a cold winter night.
Very good explaination
Welp
time to mod the long dark then
Any tips on how to make black smithing, and impove knife making more optimal?
Fwiw I, as a skilless high schooler, forged a steel knife from a small pipe which has not split after years of abuse. If I forge welded it, I didn't do so on purpose!
I will not pretend to offer any explanation.
what if you split the "blade" of the knife and sandwiched in some better material, sort of like how an axe head is made? i guess you'd still need to forge weld the pipe to the blade to hold it sufficiently
It wouldn't work unless you forge welded it. I had an axe where the bit wasn't welded in properly and it split just the same.
@@MalcolmPL fair. thanks.
