So busy, and so behind. So many questions. What new animals, and what new cooking mechanics? That's most relevant to me as a trapper/survivor.

Did some experimentation with hunting and cooking.

• Hunting in general is tough, the animals seem to know you are there like 200m out and start running super fast. Sneaking, crouching, laying down, etc seemed to make do difference.
• Pretty obvious, but hunting knife skins animals well...but you still can't put them in the military boot slot. Didn't
• try the new meat cleaver, not sure of its purpose (if anything special)
• Fireplace can now be made with just rag+1 stick, it looks just like the "new" fire starter kit, the 'lil pile of brush.
• You can take the rag and stick out, but you need them in there to light it or you get a message about no kindling to start it.
• Add 4 stones just like before to make fire pit, add the cooking tripod normally
• You can burn the fire with just sticks, no need for logs apparently, which makes it a bit easier.
• Cook pots now only hold 4 meat
• Cook pots also really buggy, had to set it on and off the fire sometimes to check the cooking status
• Meat (boar in this case) cooked normally in the pot, in a short amount of time
• Didn't try cooking the meat directly on the fire yet

Not sure why the developers have pushed this update to stable with so many bugs.

Since update I have been suffering constant game crashes, never happened before, just hoping a system reboot may solve the problem
