TALES FROM THE FAR TERRITORY, Part Three is Here!

The Long Dark

THE LONG DARK is a thoughtful, exploration-survival experience that challenges solo players to think for themselves as they explore an expansive frozen wilderness in the aftermath of a geomagnetic disaster. There are no zombies -- only you, the cold, and all the threats Mother Nature can muster.

TALES FROM THE FAR TERRITORY, Part Three: FRONTIER COMFORTS is available NOW on [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2091330/The_Long_Dark_Tales_from_the_Far_Territory/]Steam[/url]!

For more information on Frontier Cooking and all of the great new content available in Part Three: FRONTIER COMFORTS, watch our new update video below: [previewyoutube=DtoCp_g5qeM;full][/previewyoutube] [u][b]Part Three: FRONTIER COMFORTS Expansion Pass Content[/b][/u] [list] [*] [b]Frontier Cooking:[/b] We’ve added seven new Ingredients to the game – including Potatoes, Flour, Salt, Broth, Carrots, and more – and a Recipe system that lets you combine ingredients in order to create a whole range of cozy Frontier Dishes, like Rabbit Stew, Acorn Pancakes, and Peach Pies. You can find Recipes scattered around Great Bear Island, starting with a selection of six simple Recipes (increasing to 15 as your skill improves), and an additional nine Unique Recipes. [*] [b]Skillet:[/b] We also added a Skillet to the game to help you create some of the new Frontier Cooking recipes. [*] [b]Ptarmigan:[/b] You’ll find Ptarmigans in small groupings on the ground, perfect for hunting quietly with stones and Fire-Hardened Arrows. Ptarmigans are a source of meat, and you’ll also be able to collect their Down which will allow you to craft a couple of new items – an Improvised Down Bedroll and an Improvised Insulation, which adds an extra layer of warmth. [*] [b]Hunter's Revolver:[/b] A new, vintage-style Revolver that is more deadly at long range. [*] [b]Forester's Revolver:[/b] An older, reliable, durable weapon. [*] [b]Warden's Revolver:[/b] A lightweight Revolver with a shorter barrel for faster aiming. [*] [b]Sport Bow:[/b] A light and durable manufactured Bow. [*] [b]Miner’s Flashlight:[/b] Equipped with a larger, more efficient battery. [/list] [u][b]Free Stream[/b][/u] [i]Note: This update is available to anyone who owns THE LONG DARK or SURVIVAL EDITION. [/i] We’ve made some significant updates and introduced an [b]Enhanced Fishing[/b] system for this update, including: [list] [*] Ice Fishing Holes: You can now set up your own fishing locations in regions that have bodies of sufficiently deep water. [*] Tip-Ups: You can place a new Tip-Up over any ice fishing hole and it will catch a fish for you (unless the line breaks, you get unlucky, or have left it out too long and it becomes ruined). [*] Fishing Lures: We’ve added new Fishing Lures to improve your chances of catching a Rare Fish, and you can also harvest raw fish to create Bait. These two items can be added to Tip-Ups or regular fishing lines to increase your chance to catch fish and encourage larger fish to bite. [*] Rare Fish: This update includes four new Rare Fish, including the Burbot, Goldeye, Red Irish Lord, and Rockfish. [*] Burdock: We’ve also added Burdock, a new harvestable plant. Look out for their distinctive stalks and use an appropriate tool to dig their roots out from the ground. With a small amount of preparation, you can eat them raw, cook them as part of a recipe, or make a warming tea that will help combat food poisoning.
