Faithful Cartographer is an achievement in The Long Dark.
If you own the Tales from the Far Territory, any locations in regions within the Far Territory DO NOT count towards the achievement.
NOTE: In the current version, an in-game menu with the Surveyed Locations can be checked. This is the easiest way to keep track and check whether you have mapped something correctly or not. Undiscovered places will be hidden by default, but using the "force reveal" button will make them show, not affecting the achievement.
Guide[]
ALL LOCATIONS CAN BE FOUND IN Surveyed Locations.
In the list you'll see two categories - Icons and Location Triggers.
Icons: Major Locations and Region Transitions that you will see on your in-game map, when zoomed in or zoomed out.
Location Triggers: These also appear on your in-game map, but as text-only when zoomed out.
Tips[]
- The most reliable way to get a proper survey is to survey as soon as the location pops on to your screen
- Burn all fires for 1hr + to get at least 1 Charcoal
- Take charcoal from every campfire, fire barrel, stove, etc you find
- Triple check map & surveyed locations list in-game
- Time moves while surveying (~20mins), make sure it's safe!
Fan made maps usually have all the surveyed locations marked with blue text (there will be locations that aren't needed for the achievement in blue text).
