Part Three: FRONTIER COMFORTS Expansion Pass Content

• Frontier Cooking: We’ve added several 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, and an additional nine Unique Recipes that unlock as your skill improves. 
• Skillet: We also added a Skillet to the game to help you create some of the new Frontier Cooking recipes.
• Ptarmigan: 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.
• Hunter’s Revolver: A new, vintage-style Revolver that is more deadly at long range.
• Forester’s Revolver: An older, reliable, durable weapon.
• Warden’s Revolver: A lightweight Revolver with a shorter barrel for faster aiming. 
• Sport Bow: A light and durable manufactured Bow. 
• Miner’s Flashlight: Equipped with a larger, more efficient battery.

Free Stream

Note: This update is available to anyone who owns THE LONG DARK or SURVIVAL EDITION.

• We’ve made some significant updates and introduced an Enhanced Fishing system for this update, including:
  • 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.

Additional Changes – Increased Framerate Limits

Note: This update is available to anyone who owns THE LONG DARK, SURVIVAL EDITION, or WINTERMUTE.
