Still can't find any metal at this new place in ARK.
I did start going up towards the mountain to where I thought it could be. The map says that there should be some inland if you follow a little stretch of water so I did just that and then the snows came and it was very cold. VERY cold. My health plummeted and I quickly realised that I had to get back to the grasslands fast or I was gonna die. Clearly I need a warmer outfit, possibly some kind of furry thing. Everything was going red at the edge of the screen and I could hear my heart pounding but I just made it back to a warmer area in time. Barely. I think my health (which is normally way over 400) was down at a scary 3.
And just as I started to build myself back up to fitness another Sarco lunged at me.
I killed it OK, I seem to be able to dispatch most mid-range beasties these days, but I couldn't harvest the corpse cos one of those massive Argie birds swooped down and picked the body clean. Note to self: they're obviously mean scavenger thingies. So I ran away.
Then that smaller bird started stealing my food again.
But I timed my sword swings better this time and got it!
I then returned to my base to cook some much-needed food and found a big Bronto was getting a little close for my liking....
Too close! Hey! Get off my house!!
It walked over the roof several times. Thankfully without any damage.
After that I had another try at Pine and played through the start again. This time the lighting looked completely different and I could see perfectly well in the caves.
Last time they were completely pitch black whenever you got a few steps away from the torch. I didn't change any settings so I guess it must have been another of those bugs.
I got to the first village and finally got one of those orb things. It was a much more enjoyable experience on this occasion now that I could see what I was doing.
I may continue.

Yes?
I didn't I am debating right now whether I am going to get it now, or later 
No, I just said. Aren't youlistening reading? 
EDIT - Nevermind. I now have it. I'll blame peer pressure
So, Banj,
Yes?
did you buy the game (Subnautica Below Zero that is) when it was last on early access price or now or are you waiting for some reason, like a sale or something...?
I didn't
I am debating right now whether I am going to get it now, or later It seems launch time is 5 pm UTC which I had to google, before I concluded that that's probably 7 pm my time. Still not sure if that means the full game won't be updated until after that,
if you already bought it...
No, I just said. Aren't you
EDIT - Nevermind. I now have it. I'll blame peer pressure
