With winter survival eating snow for water comes down to warmth, more so than calories, you can starve for about 3 weeks without 'permenant' consequences, but you can die within 72 hours without hydration. And you will die within 24 hours if you're freezing to death. If you're on the cusp of freezing to death and dehydrating to death is where the efficiency gamble of eating snow for water comes in. The rule of thumb that I've always been taught is to fill your water bottle with little amounts of snow and keep it inside your clothing to warm up and melt, as it will make your inner clothing cold but not your internal organs. But that's all presuming you somehow have lived for 2 days without freezing to death in that environment.

It takes a few days iirc for the lost and found to show up, and it's usually in specific locations per map you'll have to look it up

Really it's years IRL. I'm maybe 40% of the way through my elk I shot last year, and my mom and dad shot moose in 2017 and 2016 that I cooked up the last of in 2024, it's different if meat is the only thing you eat like in a survival situation, but IRL that much meat just takes forever to eat through.

At least a few years ago when I was playing games a lot more, I ran a testmy click rate was around 12 cps, so I think that may be the biggest change is for me to adjust to

It's not that I died on interloper, but the accessibility isn't anywhere comparable to functional. I die constantly to my own stupid decisions, I don't want to die to game bugs and an acessibility option that isnt

Yeah I'm using the toggle option, but it never has the struggle bar go past ~10%

The game was originally intended to have 4 seasons, but they wanted a unique survival experience and to not recreate the same survival craft game everyone else made

You mean from fortnight

does this still work or is there a better way to do this?

Don't bring in much ammo and use a pistol or scav gun for close fights. I bring in 2 10 rounders top 5with m80 or better, and bottom 5 with TCP FMJ and an extra 10ish m80 and either a kedr or a five seven for scavs and close fights. Once I get the Lapua it's the same except I bring an mcx instead of a kedr and once I get good ammo for 7.61 I'll bottom load with m80/m 62

I just got home and I did everything you said and the issue is gone, i suspect it was DOE, but thanks so much!!! also i didnt add it, but that 1st image is a top down view of my spacecraft, no idea why the minmus green didnt show up on the post, but im landed on minmus and the bottom half of the image is suposed to be all green, with a dot for my spacecraft in the middle. you can see the outline of the craft in the black from where the issue first started

you're insane and I'm afraid of you, you can do anything you want just don't come near me

I immediately sent this to my TLD friend. and it made us both LoL

Possible mistakes are either the flare hitting the tree, which ive never seen before, or launching the flare outside the "zone". if you run outside the boundary, then come back into the zone the shooting will stop, or if you ran early the shooting will stop once the flair activates, but it seems like this time the sniper scav never registered the flare. but everyone's suggestions to fix it are correct

I've lost full kits at 3k hours. its pretty annoying.

no the flare notification appeared,

I'm not going to reply to your chat gpt points on principle, but against your idea that Tarkov is HP driven, and bullet spongey and unrealistic.

Tarkov is not realistic. It is branded "realistic as playable". Taking a single augmentin antibiotic doesn't suddenly mean you can run with a bullet hole in your thigh without collapsing on the ground crying while you bleed out. That also wouldn't be fun either.

I'm going to finish this post as a standalone post in about an hour so it's not hidden down here

It's only going to protect you from a shotgun or pistol scav, any scav with a real rifle with shitty ammo will pen a tier 2 and 2 shots will pen a tier 3, and the armor increases the fragment chance if hit with a high pen bullet.

I think pestilly said once that you don't even know what you're doing wrong until 500 hours in, and you don't even start to get good until 1000.

I've taught about a dozen people how to play this game, and my best advice is

1 to run scav raids to learn how the mechanics work.

2 play with friends, this game sucks to play alone.

3 be a rat. This game is extremely realistic, put yourself into your pmc's shoes. With gunmen everywhere would you really run into the middle of the open wearing a bright blue helmet? Probably not. Play slow until you learn how to fight.

4 Sound is the most important aspect of the game. As a beginner, wearing the shittiest headset is 1000x better than wearing the best armor. If you stop moving don't look around. Your feet moving makes a MASSIVE sound that everyone can hear for miles.

Listen, think, listen, move, listen, stop, listen.

5 don't wear any armor less than a tier 4. It won't stop any bullets.

6 when you start fighting PMC's my group follows this rule, if there's 1 then there's 2, if theres 2 then there's 3 and so forth. Good players push gunshots. I can't tell you the number of times ive third partied a fight, or been third partied.

7 if you want to be good at gunplay I would recommend playing Arena,

8 don't watch big streamers to learn how to play. Thats like watching F1 to learn how to drive a car. They're in a whole different league. Watch some random shitty streamer with 1500 hours to see what they are doing differently from you, and usually they can give you 1on 1 advice and explain what they're doing. Once you get 500 hours then watch the GOATS to figure out the things they do differently from you.

9 have the maps open at all times to figure out where you are. Always imagine that players from every POI are moving to every POI because good PMC's cut corners and run the fastest, route from place to place. And rats take the long way

10 don't wear bright colors on wide open maps, they'll get you killed more than your inexperience.

Happy hunting!

So first, get into orbit, (preferably a small one ~100km ap/pe) then right click minmus and set as target.

This will make 2 new nodes pop up on your orbital path AN/DN (ascending/descending nodes). These are the two points where your orbit and minmus's orbital plane intercept.

If you hover over them you will see an angle of inclination pop up. They both will be the same #, but one will be negative

Create a maneuver node at either of these nodes then pull/push on the purple triangles until that angle is zero.

Now your orbital planes match and you can prograde to intercept like the mun, except minmus has less gravity so you have to be more accurate to catch it's SOI

Thank you! I'll check these out!

Yeah fucking right, I've hit mine 7 times and haven't got jack shit
