What’s up guys and gals, I’m Kage848. I love to make videos for KZbin, mostly early access survival games like 7 Days to Die, Empyrion, Raft, Mist Survival, The Forest, and more! I also dabble in City Builders and strategy games like Civilization 5, Civilization 6, Dawn of Man, Stonehearth, Factorio and Rim World. I do at least two videos everyday of mainly tutorials, let’s plays and general gameplay footage. Thanks for watching my videos.
---------------------------------
This Early Access game is not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development.

[@dafriartuck4242]

I'm excited for this series. I played this game for first time back in June and fell in love with it. Amazing game

[@sobakathehusky]

Yes we “well aged” gamers need our practice. Might sound boomery but I always have multiple saves for practice. Didn’t realize you are my peeps. I relisten to audio books, have played fallout 1 & 2 a dozenish times (more like 8 each), reload my civ startups, and f’in love survival saves. I’m 39 and appreciate your content. Give me some solo-only empty server Rust gameplay.I know you likely won’t but it would be awesome. Subbed for years (I think, but a while regardless) and liked as always

[@zz3OPEN]

[@turboimport95]

You Can host your own private rust server, So you can play solo, I have done it, sometimes for a little fun, Its refreshing to play and try out new base designs without worry of getting raided or killed etc, It does feel different though then being online... You can even change the map around in rust so its like a new playthrough each week or w/e. Practice the card puzzle, or oil rig etc.

[@nathanrossiter122]

I love the “well aged” gamer 😂 videos they always go so in depth always nice n calm n relaxing not a lot of yelling just some light to watch and listen to

Holy crap. Years ago I was looking for gameplay videos of the game and you are the one I watched. And now it pops into my recommended and there you are, back with those memories.

[@paperb4ck]

Sooo excited you're starting a new series for this right as I picked up the game again for the first time in like a year!

[@Rena_Grace]

I have Subsistence and I love the game, I love to play the game and I love love love watching it so I am very psyched that you are going to do a LP of it! Thank you very much Kage, once again thank you for all you do for us. And you have a great day!

Fun fact, I found your channel through the second play through of this game. FYI I’ve been watching you religiously for a while now. Thank you Kage for the years of content!

I did not know this game existed. Not sure how I missed it as it is exactly the sort of thing I like to play. Thank you so much for introducing it to me.

[@FlashDAH]

I feel the same, I think it might be everyone adding "Survival" to their game tags, saturating the market. Being a survival game fan requires detective skills these days

[@norXmal]

The Infected is another survival game that has fallen under the radar.

[@Kyranth]

@@FlashDAH Because it looks like one of the hundreds of asset flippers on Steam. They need to freshen out the UI to distinguish themselves from those, then it might actually get more traction and be noticed.

[@Panda-eq4ft]

Found this game in February and made my BF play with me. It's rage inducing, but SO good. We ended up quitting like a week later when he swam in a cave under water and got killed by these giant bats and there was no way to get ALL his gear back before it despawned. Might have to go back to it eventually though.

[@lazyphatguyyt3481]

I love those kinda games, and love that you play them.

[@ImFrelled]

Back to Subsistence! I love this game. For me, it's right up there with 7D2D as one of my favorite games to play. The Hunters come into the world within 3 days of you placing your BCU. That's why you got the warning after you placed your BCU down. I don't usually place my BCU for 3 or 4 days. Just to give me a little breathing room at the start of the game. You got a good start, Kage.

[@maddas2128]

I love teasing the hunters XD its so fun stoping taking care of my farming to go steal theirs XD. I usually die 10 times and succeed 1 but good times

I started playing this game back when you there was no auto pickup on the wood logs and you had to look down and pick up every log individually. The grind is nostalgic lol

[@ManicPandaz]

I love the building mechanic in this game. Building is fun, hard work and worth it. Love this game.

[@KingMojo1]

Don't forget about the Rouges. Open your map at night just before morning and look for their campfires. I believe they spawn in at the same time as the hunters but they move every night. If it's raining their fires will go out....so there's that too.

[@robdajuiceman1328]

So awesome to see some new Subsistence content, this was the game that made me discover your channel, Kage!

[@King-O-Hell]

I wish Coldgames did an update where you could actually cut trees down and get more wood out of each one. Maybe one day. Glad to see Subsistence again.

[@mmiadragonz]

Challenging hard games are worth it. It makes the dynamic way more rewarding at the end. Survival/crafting games that make you work for "it" makes me spend way more time on it. I'm excited Kage, I'm following really close on this one

[@kenvinkernow]

Whilst watching your infected series I started playing infected again and i was just thinking this week that i might have a go at subsistence again. Think i will now that you're doing a series. This is probably the hardest survival game i've played. The Winter's are BRUTAL

[@sofukinfisticated]

Ive played a decent amount of infected as well. Problem is the replay ability isnt very strong for me. Awesome game i just wish there was more constructive things to do like quests.

[@TheTylers93]

Yeassssss. Thank you for doing another series on this game. In regards to fishing, some of the fish only spawn in the smaller bodies and can offer just as good of meat. Definitely still better being near the lakes for the cave entrances and large amounts of pearls. Keep up the videos man!

[@TheTylers93]

[@QueenbeePlayer]

Kage I love that you are doing a fresh series of this, it is one of my top survival games. Re: your comment on how long is needed to prep for Winter, I recently did a 12 day no BCU playthrough and reset winter so it lasted 6 days It is a HUGE push but doable, you can survive winter on these settings. I 100% agree with you, its a tough game but as rewarding as it is tasking! Looking forwad to this series!

[@karen7691]

Nice to see a new start! If you bought meat from the butcher on your way to work in the morning and carried it around in your backpack all day, I doubt it would be very nice when you got home, especially if it were a hot day but it would be nice if the game let it last a bit longer lol! Thanks Kage xx

I always heard this game was hard-core survival, so the lack of realism with how easy the crafting is really threw me. I do love you can set the year to actually take a year, and that apparently a piece of raw meat in your pocket will spoil by the end of the day. It was funny to me how Kage was in disbelief that a raw fresh meat chunk on a warm day could spoil when hauled around in your dirty pack from morning to night.

I learned that if you die, you don't lose your gun as long as you haven't placed a storage chest yet so it's best to do that as the last thing you do at the end of the day. Also, hunters don't show up until three days after you place the BCU. Also, I'm super psyched you're doing this! I'm starting my own game and I love to play along with other people but I it's not as fun when their content is too old. Yay! Also, I hope you play the updated Mist Survival game!

[@ThePaPaRoach76]

Just found your channel with this vid. Good work, just gained a new sub & follower. Like you I am an older gamer, 46, will be 47 in Jan. I do the same with the aiming & getting used to the weapons in games. I use a Logitech G502 HERO mouse, that has 6 programable buttons. One I have set to cycle through 4, of 5 possible, different DPI settings. That way I can have a low, 1200, DPI for fine movement for placing items that don't have a turn option when building, Then 6400 DPI for quick movement, with 2400 & 3200 DPI in between. Some games have slower mouse movements that need the 6400, but most of the time I am at 3200. That is the sweet spot I found for most games for good movement & aim control.

[@CDuff86]

If you kill an animal, throw it in your pack for the day, you will find that it spoils really quick and no, it will not last all day. This is realistic. I like it.

[@KamleshMallick]

What is interesting is about this game is , it primarily focuses around single player survival and crafting, which is almost unheard of in this day and age. For example, the Rust community have been asking for an offline mode with AI, but the devs wont do it and stick only to multiplayer. The developer of Subsistence is doing an amazing job by implementing offline AI - which is one of the most complicated tasks of single player game programming. AI opponents building their own bases and progressing just like your character is a new dynamic that i find very intriguing here. I follow the Age of Empire games and its the same there with multiple AI players building their own bases. AI development essentially boils down to a rule engine executing rules. You can make it as sophisticated as you want taking thousands of parameters into consideration, making the rule engine flexible etc, but its essentially executing rules at the end of the day. It essentially comes down to "Do this, If so and so conditions are met, or do that instead". But at the same time, some dev's can make AI's do so much more than a normal human can - For example, the AI should not automatically see everything, it should imitate the human attention somehow by moving the "camera" and doing stuff only on objects within it's view and with a certain limit. E.g. not doing 20 simultaneous tasks, that's not humanly possible. That becomes cheating AI. Needs to be as human like as possible. Once the AI gets intelligent and starts "thinking" strategically - like for example chop all trees, loot all boxes near your base or steal your fish. Then it gets creepy as hell! Observing how AI plays in any game is really fascinating for me. I really look forward to how the AI players behave in this game. In this game, How many AI players are spawned once your base gets powered on? Do they fight each other?

[@logr12dragonknight55]

Hey cage I started playing this game a week ago and I don’t know if you know this but a good way to get a lot of resources before you set up your thing to show you where your bases is that you save the game then you Load up the safe and all the trees you mind and all the resources around the area will respond
