One amusing thing about Mule boots is they leave different prints from Bridges ones, which isnāt really that important but still a way to mislead enemies.

you should be able to fabricate extra pairs of boots fairly early on, and you can make as many as you need (i usually take a spare pair, your backpack even has a clip just for extra boots).
i like your solution better though.
iāve been playing through again slowly on hard and i wish theyād been a bit braver and made that the default. everything feels much better tuned re: wear, and Iāve actually had to make Choices, but itās still pretty generous if you mind your gear.
the only other thing i wish for is some kind of slider that allows you to have more or less structures from other players in your world. i still donāt feel like i need to build my own stuff very much since someone has done it for me.

iām definitely going to do one someday, even if it runs against the intended mechanics. it is fun to collab with other players and build zipline networks and stuff though. A lot of times Iāll see someone put something in a place i wouldnāt have thought of, so i smash that like 
button.
it would be cool if you had a completely offline game and maybe the porters you see out there occasionally leave you a postbox or something.

I did wonder when playing it how many of those other constructions were simulated other people versus actual other people, not that I would have any way of knowing short of doing a full offline playthrough.

i think only in the east tutorial zone does the game have NPCs plant you stuff. I think once you hit the big time itās all player stuff.
NPCs have some distinctive element from players on their constructionsā labeling. Possibly it was the label color? Itās been a while.

I loved Death Stranding. I still want to get my ratings to five stars, or at least do every delivery once. Thereās one thing that drives me mad about the game. What pisses me off is how we see crows and deer in the opening scene and never again. Not once. Correct me if Im wrong but thatās it for the fauna outside of butterflies. I dont know why it bothers me so much but it does.

You can see birds circling several of the clearer areas of the map, but you never see any animals on the ground again. I wouldnāt suggest doing every delivery; thereās like 600 or 700 in the game, and you only need to do about 60 or 80 optional ones in total to max out every clientās star rating.
On the other hand the optional deliveries, like all those bonus missions in Peace Walker, do push you optimize the traversal mechanics, especially the timed or very heavy ones. So doing those until you feel youāve gotten enough out of the game is there.
And something to keep in mind depending on how you feel about stats screens. If youāre playing on Normal your profile and placed objects will show how many optional deliveries you have a Legend rating on. If you bump it up to Hard this number will reset to only show your Legend of Legend rating. If you then go up to Very Hard it will reset again to only show Legend of Legend of Legend.

Oh, watching the trailer again I see that theyāre adding another feature to make this the definitive school backpack simulator: You can put patches on the cargo pack.

Only now realizing that they never actually said that any of this new content would be coming to the PC version and Iām just going to have a lay down on the ground over there as I go through hype withdrawals.
