Mountaineer's Hut is a small hut located in Timberwolf Mountain, on the southern shore of Crystal Lake.
Overview[]
It is the only suitable man-made location for setting up a Safe House in the entire region, and many players choose to use it as their main base. This is because it has all the essentials: a Work Bench, two beds, and a fireplace. There is also a large hatch in the floor that can hold up to 40 kg of items. Hides, guts, and saplings can be cured inside the building. Furthermore, there is ice fishing on Crystal Lake nearby, along with Bear, Moose, Deer, Wolf, and Rabbit hunting opportunities in the local area. Although being far from a forge may make it difficult to replace lost arrows and damaged tools, the Mountaineer's Hut is fairly close to the Milling Machine and Ammunition Work Bench at Blackrock Prison, making it easier to maintain tools and replace used ammunition.
A small number of harvestable items like crates, a shelf, and a stool can be found inside. The hut also contains a climber's journal page. A few relatively rare supplies may also be found in the hut, along with a chance to spawn a Mountaineering Rope on the front porch.
The hut is not properly insulated, and there is a big hole in the roof. Unlike indoor areas that have a loading screen and an absolute inside temperature, the hut is more similar to a shallow cave and does not have a fixed temperature, rather providing protection from wind and a relative warmth bonus of +30 °C compared to the weather outside (+33 °C with repaired roof). In very cold weather, the hut does not provide adequate protection, so it is recommended the player wear high-quality clothing and/or maintain a fire to avoid freezing. Repairing the roof of the mountaineer's hut using safe house customization provides an additional +3 C to the structure's warmth bonus, and requires:
- Woodworking tools
- 20 Cedar Firewood
- 3 hours of repair time
It is not possible for wildlife to enter the hut, even if the door is left open.
Note that despite being considered "outside" in terms of Decay, leather can be Cured inside, and you can still get Cabin Fever.
