I saw a comment somewhere and they mentioned that allowing yourself to starve throughout the 2nd half of the day only takes a little bit of health away. Just eat about 7 to 800 calories before you go to sleep, sleep 8 to 10 hours straight, and you will heal overnight every time. After starting a new game using this method, on day 25 I used 20 thousand less calories than my previous playthrough. This is where cat tails come in real handy. Plus, towards the end of the day when you have a little time to kill before sleeping, do what you can on an empty stomach. Break furniture, breakup boxes, harvest rabbits, clean your guns, sharpen your tools, repair stuff, cook, boil water, etc. (Can't research) Eating beforehand only wastes food......and water. Another little tip is to use the stoves with 6 cooking slots to make tons of water. Even if you only have six cans, you can still make 6 liters with about 1.5 hours of fuel. If you have purification tablets and/or cooking pots you can make even more. It's also good to know what you can do in the dark to plan accordingly. You can harvest rabbits, harvest inventory items(clothes, broken arrows, broken snares, car batteries, etc.), refuel your lantern, sharpen your tools, and clean your guns. You can also prepare birch bark, acorns, reishi, and rose hips, and I believe you can craft small things like bandages and lichen. Crafting, mending, and researching can be done right after the sun sets and right before the sun rises. You just can't do them when it's officially 'nightime'.
In Interloper, Cat Tails is basically your only food for a long time, and the heads are tinder, until you can get your weapons crafted, if you are new to Interloper, remember, cat tails, cat tails, cat tails.
Not anymore, most of the drinks have changed from adding the buff once the drink is completed to applying a % of the buff depending on how much you've consumed.
I mean... It really boils down to personal strategy. To me, it's better to hang on to them as long as possible because you can typically source other food easily enough, even at Loper settings. To me, it's a waste to consume such a low-weight food source that lasts FOREVER so soon.
Rosehip, Reshi, or birch bark, if I consume 99% of that, and leave the last 10% until I need the effect, can I thus make them as light as a bottle of antibiotics or pain killers?
cat tails is the best food in the game because its light and dont decay. I use them when i m moving to another region because its risky to carry cooked meat...
ty for your guides! i really love the game for its hardcore survival mechanics! without your guides i would lost a lot of time and probably quit due to frustritation and also 1 Pound is - 0.45 killigrams, just keep in mind :D p.s. for some unknows reason, every time i start a survival mode - i am spawned near TONNS of Cattails - every time. its my huge food supply till i be able to hunt animals - friendly random location generator lol
@@Lonelywolfofficial It's funny converting kilos to pounds because I'm used to the metric system in the game elsince It's Canada. But other than science I'm usually looking at imperial system tho it doesn't make much of a difference for me. Like you have a gallon of milk vs 2 liters of soda pop. Whether It's kilometers to miles or kilograms to pounds it doesn't matter to me.
The benefit of living in Canada, we use both units interchangeably. Kg to lbs and lbs to kg isn't that bad. Buy it's a bit harder when we talk about temp between Fahrenheit and Celsius even thr conversion concept is pretty much the same.
I love the content, it's a life saver as there is very little online. Also for kilo it's 5 for well fed and is it better to "hibernate" or be well-fed?
Thanks! Glad I could help. I know I suck at converting kilos... still improving. As for your question, that arguably depends on your goals and circumstances but overall it's probably better to maintain well-fed over hibernating.
If you've ever done it before, it's exactly the same! Just get a cured maple sapling, two guts, and some tools and go to a crafting bench and craft away!
Most of the time I eat deer meat and in the meantime I harvest cat tails while passing rivers and ponds. I have like 80 of them and they last soooo long. 20 of them weight only 1kg and gives you 3 000 calories witch is much better than any obtainable meat. They also do not degrade with the time (they are always pristine 100% ).
But, sans beachcombing, they are a very finite source. Once you've eaten them all that's it, time to hunt! But that doesn't mean they are bad by any means. Cattails are a lifesaver.
A kilogram is heavier than a pound, so something weighing 11 lbs would weigh about 5 kilograms. The conversion is approximately 2.2 lbs to 1 kilogram. But that's just an approximation, the actual conversion isn't 2.2 lbs to 1 kilogram, it's 2.20462 lbs to 1 kilogram, so you'd divide the pounds by 2.2 to get the approximate kilogram amount, or you multiply the kilogram amount by 2.2 to get the approximate pound amount, easier yet, but even less accurate just multiply the kilogram amount by 2 to get the pound amount or divide the pound amount by 2 to get the kilogram amount. So you got the 2 right, you just multiplied instead of divided. All you'd have to remember is that a kilo is heavier than a pound, so you'd divide the pound to get the kilo and multiply the kilo to get the pound. I didn't know the exact conversion before looking it up, but I knew the approximate was 2.2 pounds to 1 kilo, I learned that years ago in college and it's stuck with me. What I have difficulty with is converting Fahrenheit to Celsius and vice versa, when my Canadian friend tells me, "it's 27° Celsius today," to me that sounds cold, because 27° Fahrenheit is below freezing, but after looking that up, 27° C is pretty warm, about 80° F. I imagine they experience the inverse, when I tell them, "it's a comfortable 70° F today," if their brain works like mine does that 70° if it were Celsius would be 158° F. The only two conversions I know that stuck with me from college, 2.2 lbs to 1 kilo and 1.61 kilometers to 1 mile.
Never even realised that cancelling drinking the tea actually left some. I thought cancelling just meant you didnt drink it. Gonna be a big help! Thanks :)
I wonder, why do you keep ignoring birch bark lying the ground, but pick-up or sample pretty much anything else? I noticed this in many of your videos.
It never used to be a useful resource. It was an alternative tinder source but beyond that was worthless. As long as you had other tinder birch bark was pointless. Now that the birch tea has been added, it's a lovely find.
First of all,That's another amazing video,ur so helpful Btw there are a graphics problem in the video...im put it to 1080p and for some reason it become 144p and then get back to 1080p...hope u fix it,Thanks a lot my man i appricite it
Hey, I appreciate the guides! Is there a best place to hole up? I'm not looking online at a map because I don't want to ruin the exploration but I'd like to know one/some of the best places so I have some sort of goal.
"Is there a best place to hole up?" The short answer is yes, and the long answer is ANY place can become a long-term base. For the TL;DR you need to know what's available to you in a short distance and what you'll need if it's not available. Oftentimes this includes lots of storage and a crafting table. Other times it includes a spot with fishing nearby. What you'll need to do is find what you think you need the most or what best suits your playstyle and then narrow down the options from there. If you're new to the game this info probably won't be much help, but as you play and learn the mechanics and get a knack for the game it will begin to make sense!
Mistery lake is probably the safest place I've been to so far. Honestly it was so safe I got bored and started writing about my days in the journal as I passed 100 days alive. I left to explore other regions after another 100 days of sitting at the cabin increasing firestarting skills with the magnifying glass. You've got deer fish and rabits just a short walk from the camp office and plenty sticks around safe paths without wolves. If I was going for a 500+ day survival marathon I'd put all my time there. I recommend that after getting the game mechanics down play nomad style. Always on the move taking shelter where you find it or make it. You'll have a much more thrilling experience. And ofcourse ramp up the difficulty :)
Yeah as you can see I'm super duper great at converting to Kilos from freedom units. Darn it. Living in America is gonna kill me. Nobody else uses imperial lol!
Helpful video again, but ironically, in a video about cattails, you didn't even harvest a single one! LOL. Be careful about too much irony, or you'll probably end up with the game deciding to weight you down with 10,000 spoons, when all you need is a hunting knife... and leaving a black fly in your reishi tea. :P
when converting, this isnt exact but i am form canada so we use both and 11lbs = 5kg, so basically divide the lbs in half and find the kgs :) not exac but always really close
I love that cat tail doesnt degrade. So i always have food at my bases so if i get in trouble i can always snack at something.
Cattails are really great.
I would love them to add a function to eat multiple things like cattails without clicking on it a million times.

I've always wanted to do a run and see how many I can collect. Make it the goal to get every cat tail on the map.
I think the most I ever had at one time was 223...
@@Lonelywolfofficial Wow! Tops I've had around 70ish.
All your cattails are belong to us.
Lonelywolf most I’ve ever got is 32

Drinking all but the last few drops of the Teas also makes them light so that you can cart them around for their intended benefit with great ease.
Not anymore, most of the drinks have changed from adding the buff once the drink is completed to applying a % of the buff depending on how much you've consumed.
They should add roots. And crow eggs. Bear traps.

I suck at converting too
We use kilos in Russia
So it’s vice versa for me 😂
Ouch. I'm sorry I butchered it so often. I wish I was better at it but sadly, with no real reason to use it day to day, I'll be stuck sucking at it...

Ok, thnks.
No problem!
Cattails saved my life today,my first 30 day run almost lost because I forgot to harvest a bear 10 days ago (ingame)
Oofsies. Good luck on your run and hopefully you'll remember to snag that bear next time!
Coffee is freaking usefull that why i go to coastal highway to find coffee on every house
Chug that bitter liquid... it's good for something!
These videos are very helpful.

@@fishe479 I play on pilgrim, and my front porch at mystery lake camp office is literally a buffet of all different kind of meat and fish.
Just saw that they contain 1500 kilocalories per pound online and had to see
Cat tails saved me time after time
Also 1 kilo=2.2lbs
Yeah, I'm GREAT at converting haha :P Also, yes, cattails are great!
Kilos are larger than pounds! Haha just halve whatever they pounds are and you’ll be pretty close in kilos. Love the vids! Thanks for the info
Yeah as you can see I'm super duper great at converting to Kilos from freedom units. Darn it. Living in America is gonna kill me. Nobody else uses imperial lol!
well fed is a 5 kg buff
Again, I suck at metric-imperial conversions. Sorry. 11 lbs is NOT 22 kilos. But my brain thought it was!
@@Lonelywolfofficial no worries just to clarify. Love the series
Thanks mate!

I think it's like 2.25 but honestly I should just stop bothering to try and convert XD
@@Lonelywolfofficial haha, just think half a kg is a pound, then you will be fine.
@@Lonelywolfofficial Yeah I think it's 2.24 but almost everyone just says 2.2 for the sake of ease of conversion lol
" 22 kilos" 5 actually but anyway cool video thanks for the help
Yeah I'm great at conversions as you can see!
Lonelywolf didn’t seven notice man
11 lbs is 5 Kg
Just good old Mystery Lake has about a hundred cat tails. They make the game almost too easy
Only on lower difficulties. Higher ones like Stalker and loper and that number is easily halved.
I haven't made an exact count, but even on Loper I think I've had 70-80. Then there are more in the Ravine and CH.
Yup! Even though there may not be THAT much in one single region, there's still plenty across them all. Plus HRV has a metric butt-load.
