Sounds to me like survivalist at least. What difficulty level are you on?

Nomad difficulty. Mountain lions are tough.

This is why I argue the snow biome is tougher than the wasteland. Sure, the wasteland has vultures, zombie dogs, zombie bears, land mines... but the snow biome has mountain lions, dire wolves, lumberjacks, and bears literally everywhere. You'll spend a good portion of your time early on trying to find a house that doesn't have a mountain lion or whatever prowling around outside.

One major benefit of the snow biome, ironically enough, is there's food growing everywhere. I got 2 and a half stacks of snowberries by the end of day 1.

I see. Well body shots with stone arrows can take a fair amount of time because the head is hard to hit when they are clipping/jumping. I love those moments. The efficient hunter in me says to build a tiny tower of a good 6 blocks foundation and fine enough height to avoid jumps and stuff, but sometimes we don't have the luxury and have to improvise with cars and big landscape stones.

Then I'm lucky (or unlucky) that the mountain lion didn't budge at all during the, um... process.

 
I ALWAYS leave home without a shotgun and a club...just my iron knuckles now on day 23 and I destroy @%$#! love it...

But yeah , out of all the new POI's I have explored this play thru , my favorite one so far is the "Boars and Corn" one...with that giant , green mutated pig in the underground below the place....that was a nice surprise and a real monster lol , it hurt me and took an absolute beating to take down!

Ah, Grace. Yes that was a cool surprise. I hope there's more of that in the game but so far I've found none. 😩

 
Hunting at night with Night vision

I went hunting at night because it was too boring to just hang out at my base, waiting for feral's to attack me. 

Really I was going to do a mission but suddenly there were all these animals so I had to try. 

I ended up killing two wolves, one looked like a dire wolf. 

I found a bear nearby. Did you know that you can climb on top of the bridge? So I was shooting it but then got hit by some zombies that were coming from behind and were gnawing on my backside. I took care of them and went back to shooting the bear. 

I ran out of arrows and my blunderbuss wasn't doing anything. So I attacked it with my shovel but kept getting hit. I tried again with my blunderbuss. It worked now. 

I did not make it to the mission but had a load of meat and stuff and so headed back home around dawn. 

Things of note:

Night vision is great. 

Primitive bow's aim and damage still suck. 

Blunderbuss can be powerful but only at point blank range and can still miss. Guess that's why they call it a blunder. ;)

I think bows should get a Complete Redo. Its hard to aim and don't do too much damage.

But Crossbows are boring! There i said it!

REAL MEN uses Bows! But Still Bows need some Good old TLC. i may make a post a Idea about bows on the pimp dreams.

Maybe explain why bows are hard to aim. The only reason I see for it being hard is because you have to adapt to the ballistic trajectory. But that is exactly the reason why the bow is not boring and the crossbow is.

I've always wished arrows caused some bleed, at least with non infected animals.   :)

why not both.

my idea to make the bow at least simi better is

Sight (it has a Base sight and you can put reflex sight on it)

Faster but less accrete Fire when not ADSing

Slower but stronger shoots when ADSing

New way of holding it

Able to fire more then one arrow (by holding R and selecting Muilti shoot. you will need 3 stone, iron or steel arrows) 

More Mods to uses (Laser sight, New sight and Flashlight)

Does bleed damage (10% with stone, 25 with iron, 50% with steel)

Does More cripple damage when hitting the knee. (i took a arrow to the knee)

Sounds like a great way to max out the bow. :)
