Amateur modder and avid fan of all things survival games. I am currently working on a new sandbox challenge mod for the indie survival game - The Long Dark. I hope to create more new and interesting content mods that really bring out the potential of this sandbox game. I am always in the pursuit of improving my mods. Always looking to thoroughly polish, test, and balance gameplay to a professional standard. Criticism, no matter how harsh, is always encouraged and appreciated! Anyone that's planning to livestream their gameplay of a mod I've made, feel free to message me I would love to tune in!

Just got the mod working again for the latest game version - v3.02 is what you're looking for, should work with build 1.44 and onward.

Good question. Currently for the most part, fire heat is retained longer in indoor locations requiring a loading screen to enter only, although the mod does increase heat dissipation time for outdoor fires also when compared to the vanilla game, though not by much.

But you're right, there's no difference between an outdoor cave or outdoor fishing hut, or anywhere else outdoors in the game world, and heat is mostly retained in Houses/Cabins and other indoor locations that you would load into.

Yea RN uses another menu mod (ModSettings.dll) to create its customization menu, like you said a new version of ModSettings was released recently with these new mods you mentioned. Because ModSettings isn't backwards compatible, if you installed the new ModSettings file with these new mods, it will likely cause issues with RN, which still uses the old ModSettings.

I will have to update the RN mod to use the new ModSettings file when I have some time. Though until then, if you want to play with RN, you will have to use the old Modsettings.dll provided with the RN files. Unfortunately that also means you wont be able to play these newer mods along with RN, until I update RN to use the new ModSettings file as well.

Your RN saves should still be there, you likely just can't see them because the new ModSettings file crashed the RN mod. Once/If you get RN working again, you should be able to play them again.

Let me know if you have further troubles!

I'm dedicating my modding time to maintain and improve relentless night at the moment, so I probably can't personally. Though there is a modding server you can check out to see if such a mod exists, the other TLD modders are also there and you can find resources to get into modding yourself too if you wish.

Link to TLD modding server: Discord.gg

Good luck!

Yea you should see some improvements on low, especially with shadows turned off. Good luck on the run! :D

Sorry about the late reply. If you're still curious - we have a discord chat group for the TLD modding community: Discord.gg

Lots of resources to get started there, and myself and several other modders are usually there for any help as well. Cheers!

Good to hear enjoy! And subbed, curious where your run will take you :D

By the look of the videos it does look like your frames are quite low, have you tried running the game at lower quality settings? Looking at the shadows and detail, it looks like you're running on high/ultra quality right now.

Hmm in that case I suggest joining the TLD modding chat server:

invite link - Discord.gg

I can probably help you better chatting there, and the creator of the mod loader is there too, so we should be able to figure out what's going on.

If the mods folder isn't there, the mod loader probably didn't patch right.

When you use the mod loader jar file, did you browse and select the Rewired_Core.dll file like it prompted? Make sure you find and select it, then hit patch. If it says "Done!" in the corner, it worked!

No ETA yet, I am creating the next version using a very different method to mod the game, it will take a bit longer to create but will allow other mods to be installed and the mod should keep working even if Hinterland updates the game again, provided they don't change any core game mechanics.

So I shouldn't give an ETA but most of the new version of relentless night is done and I'm working on the rest as we speak! If you're interested in keeping up to date or have any questions about the mod, you can join in on the mod's discord chat: Discord.gg cheers!

I am working on a new version of the mod that will be compatible with the story mode update, it will also use a mod loader so you will be able to install multiple mods to the game in addition to the relentless night, if you wish.

Yes that is one of the big challenges of this mod :) Figuring out how to schedule tasks for a continuously changing day/night cycle.

10 hours sleeps are best for condition recovery like you said. Other than that my best advice is do all your tedious tasks during the long nights - making water, cooking, practicing fire making, even stick collecting/hunting as there is usually enough moonlight out. Save the precious long and warm days to explore and scavenge the regions. Good luck!

Thanks for the interest! The mod will work in all sandbox difficulties and the effects will ramp up gradually, in fact, you may not notice anything different for the first few days.

I suggest whichever difficulty you like playing in the vanilla version of the game, start with that one in the mod too. The additional difficulty the mod provides will slowly come into play and ramp up more and more with each passing day survived. Hope you like it!

Hey thanks for the interest :)

The mod description up top has a complete list of the makes to the game. Though if you want just a little info without complete spoilers. I suggest just reading the first 4 paragraphs and stopping at the complete modifications list.

Cheers! Let me know if you have further questions
