Good
Thanks for the advice fellow stalker.
Where did these Monolith get their hands on such high-end gear like the As val, Gauss, F2000 tho? Even the military and the merc don't have that much resource. Does that come from the Holy Rock?
finite dragon
Yeah, just like the question of who was the merc's contractor. Heard merc will play a bigger role in 2 eh?

There's like 0 info about stalker 2 and they said they wont reuse the cut story aspects

Strelok will still be the protagonist in 2 right?

Hope Marked One make a comeback, pretty sure being blind wont stop him from going out of the zone and cach that Strelok guy.

AKMS or AK74
Tempted to switch to the AKMS since I don't find the kobra sight particularly useful and I can still mount a nade launcher
I'd imagine the 7.62 I've already salvaged and selling my current 5.45 stockpile could net me enough cash
granted I'll probably drop it in 5 seconds once I have a reasonable means of getting 5.56
I suppose I'd lose the 45 round mag I have on my 74 but I can adapt
cloud plank
I liked AKMS, but dont expect to find 7.62, without a large supply of ammo you will run out of it eventually
happened twice during two long raids
Bandits, and soldiers dont carry that ammo
as long as you got grenade launcher in one your are ok
also in cordon you can upgrade ak's so you can mount a rail on them and put more types of scopes
ACOG and such
shrewd dagger
7.62 isn't that rare
You will probably have to buy ammo at times but it depends on the stashes you find
near star
Thought the 74 was the only one that could mount a rail

All of them can have, but you need to upgrade them to have soviet dovetail

also artifacts

I know about the orders changing every blowout
I only have some of the stuff so I guess I'm about to find out if he's okay with a few parts

so he throws out his list and I guess you can turn in whatever you have of it
so if he was requesting say, dog tails, you could turn in a few
definitely pays out better than a standard sale

Man CoP is so damn easy. Just an hour or three into the game without any guide I've already had, let me see, a Vintar, an SVD, an SPAS and an AC96 and TR301 both equipped with scope and Gl. And they're just lying around just the first map and I ain't have to pay a single cent for. Not to mention a ton of artifacts and ammos to make profit with.

Hello there, I have a problem, I'm in search of a good mod for CoP but I have some let's say expectation for this good mod, first I would like to still be able to do the main story, it must not be based on Misery, at least not a full hardcore mod (I like to have fun when I play a game) and if possible not bugged as hell or unfinished. Other than that features that I'd like is more artefacts, weapons, maybe more maps, adding more quests, better graphics. I ask here because all the mods I recently tried either don't work, are ultra hardcore on easy difficulty or change the character and the main story. Thank you all in advance (you can tag me if you want to propose some mods)

I know this pack already, but it doesn't add that much for the gameplay 😦

it adds some of the best shooting mechanics in the series
if you want more gameplay changes for a CoP mod, you're pretty much gonna be stuck with Misery gameplay
and inferior shooting

Sorry ! I didn't catch STCoP x)

the only reason you'd need an exosuit is to carry a minigun because holy balls those things are heavy

Man roaming around in STALKER is always fun and adventurous. They did very good with the feel and immersion. Whenever I see any building/structure/unusal place I always wonder what's in there and can't fight the urge of going in exploring. Maybe it doesn't have anything valuable, but the feeling of adventure is satisfied.

it is even more fun and adventurous in OGSE and Oblivion Lost Remake I find
finite dragon
Woooh

Just found Strelok's SGI-5k. Is it any good?
vanilla COP?
Yeah
it is quite possibly the best gun in the game
most likely
so yes, its good
also, keep the notes from the stashes
just keep them in your inventory
I hear ya, 'bout to sell them to Owl but seems that it's important. Oh man I know that factory would have goldmine there. Btw how good does it fare with F2000 or G36 I wonder?
it is the best gun in the game pretty much

@near star Lmao what are you doing here?

near star
@neat night playing OGSE and awaiting S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 with cautious optimism
how about you
near star
steam shows I've got about 250 hours on the official games
probably more like 275 with my playtime in CoC and OGSE
near star
Do you want raw atmosphere or polish
near star
do you want a polished game or raw atmosphere
near star
Shadow of Chernobyl (the first game in the series) is more atmospheric in many people eyes than Call of Pripyat (the last game in the series)
neat night
like, feels more real?
near star
However, even a brief look at gameplay video will reveal that Call of Pripyat is a much more polished game overall
neat night
or is it graphics
near star
graphics is part of it
neat night
what else comes into play
near star
CoP has a much less hellish beginning stage
neat night
which one has more cheeki breeki
near star
Shadow of Chernobyl
at least in my opinion
the beginning stage of CoP gives you an AKS-74U and a Makarov
the beginning stage of SoC gives you a sawed-off shotgun and a Makarov
near star
Shadow of Chernobyl BUT with bugfixes
specifically this: http://www.metacognix.com/files/stlkrsoc/index.html

text is and critical story dialogue is
but the random stalkers around the campfire are in not-english

I mean I guess the "GET OUT OF HERE STALKER" and "I said come in, don't stand there" guys are english but those are exceptions to the rule

so SoC is best for me?

nah

why

wait til it goes on sale for like 5 bucks

why tho its 9 bux

you could also get soc off of g2a for 1.75 if you're feeling spicy
near star
Idk
shrewd dagger
Yes SoC first and I might even suggest AMK 1.4 mod
neat night
@near star hey does the difficulty work like this? novice = you and enemies have less health and bullets do less damage
master = you and enemies have less health and bullets do a ton more damage
finite dragon
WRONG
the only game that changes weapon damages is soc and all it changes is YOUR damage
this spreadsheet was made by the lead developer of coc btw
@neat night
yes, master is harder, but it causes you to play better
its all merely placebo

you'll get yeeted by anyone rounding the corner with a double barrel anyways
master's the way to play

I don't know how the difficulty myth spread so hard, master is actually harder and novice is actually easier

Hello there I'm in search of a good mod/modpack for stalker CoP, I've tried a lot of things and I'm in search of a new experience. I really liked SGM 1.7 (before they add the new start), I'm not a big fan of Misery or Dead Air. I haven't tried STCoP yet, but it only adds weapons from what I've seen on YT ? So if someone has an idea.
spiral bear
https://www.moddb.com/mods/spatial-anomaly-update-4 is it this one ?
finite dragon
yep
i also suggest getting the 75 fov file as well
just makes the fov higher
also it's not standalone, so make sure your cop is vanilla before installing it
spiral bear
No problem for that after tweaking the config files for more than 5 years ^^" ok, I'm watching the intro

Do the documents that you find in X8 have any impact on the ending?
It says it's useful to the SBU, which Degtyarev is a part of. Shouldn't they impact the game in that sense?

is there any new mods for CoC worth trying out??
Spatial anomaly

you have any idea how active the modding scene still was before coc

theres better options that anomaly or coc anyway
astral valve
I am aware
finite dragon
they're both big empty and boring
screw it
ill play spatial anomaly
sounds fun
be sure you use the 75fov file
because the default FOV is awful
what if i set it to 90
would there be a lot of clipping?
or whatever it's called
no but theres no option to change it ijn game
so you'll have to change the file manually
that's fine
but im asking if any issues will arrive from it
nah
you can also change your hud fov which just changes how far your arms are from your face

so
how long is spatial anomaly
in terms of gameplay
it'd say around 8-12 hours
it's a good chunk of gameplay
it's not super combat focused but there's plenty of it
finite dragon
yeah you did not lie
it's fun as frick
although a lot of looking around for stuff
i can't seem to find that ammo the companion guy requested

i did find a stash of ammo and medkits in a white car but it isn't mosquito's stuff

How hard is the Misery mod I wonder? I know the name "Misery" is saying enough but I'm just curious about how actual hard it is.
It's artificial difficulty
play an actual good mod
I see. Well, just finishing CoP a moment earlier, that evacuation part make battle royale looks like a joke. Felt so great to have a chance to experience and enjoy such a great trilogy (almost great, I'm looking at you Clear Sky), but I'm empty somehow. Maybe moving on to the Metro series next.
play something like OGSE for soc
Hear you, will check it out. And btw thanks for suggesting me to keep Strelok's notes earlier, thanks to that I got extra gauss ammo and an increase in Strelok's defense.
nice
As always.

you can try SGM 1.7 for CoP it sticks to the story and is fun, I've used it for more than 10 full playthrough ^^ SGM 2.2 also has cool stuff but... the "intro" is quite long and difficult

Has anyone else tried the STCoP Weapon Pack 3.0.1 for CoP? It looked like a good weapons mod but it had an issue where if any NPC(s) or I fired too many shots, the game would crash. It seems to be a prevalent issue with many weapons mod, and I can't believe it doesn't get more attention, considering shooting is the main point of a weapons mod and yet that's the most broken mechanic.
I didn't like Arsenal Overhaul. It was stable but while the pistols and shotguns had moderate damage, rifles would kill me in 2 shots regardless of whether I was wearing nothing or in a fully upgraded exo suit.
There's a new version of stcop out
hold up
@shrewd dagger

I never had that issue with any version of STCoP nor with any weapon mod

It's not funny...
So the project is currently braindead ?
@pseudo rivet here, so we don't spam the suggestion
spiral bear
You think it's possible monolith was used to continue the experiment ?
pseudo rivet
The Monolith was a barrier of sorts to prevent access towards the center of the Zone
spiral bear
Yep, but why ? And monolith members are not like zombies, they are smart and a powerful foe
pseudo rivet
Lt. Kirillov: "Yeah, we broke into a Monolith warehouse the other day and it was full of ammo for every type of weapon you get in the Zone. I wonder how they get so much weaponry in here. I'm guessing one of the perimeter guards must be selling it to them..."
Most we can find about it is speculation
finite dragon
Monolith is the type of 'shoot first, ask later'. Been in the very center of CNPP, no wonder they have most resource there.
pseudo rivet
The Monolith was previously an actual faction of stalkers who believed in an alien monolith in the center of the Zone
All C-Consciousness did was remove the humanity to create the perfect soldier
They fight to the death
And when they're caught, they try to kill theirselves
Just one bang with the head to the wall

Seems that the shotgun got a massive buff in vanilla CoP somehow. I mean I can kill a Bandit with 2-3 shot from the SPAS, meanwhile it usually take 5-6 shot in SoC or CS.
spiral bear
It's better I think, spas 12 is like one of the most badass shotgun, it should be able to do that in a game (I prefere the spas 15 but hey, it's a game ^^)
On thing I regret is the lack of ammo variety
Especially for shotguns
finite dragon
Yep, SPAS is my fav, until the Eliminator comes to play in COP. And yeah, we have buckshot, we have slug and we also have dart rounds too. But dart rounds are so rare that I cant find it anywhere (vanilla at least).
spiral bear
Yep, no explosive ammo, no dragron breath, no speciality ammo 😦
pseudo rivet
Yeah, Shotguns in CoP are devastating
pseudo rivet
Enemies with those are pretty scary
spiral bear
classified as a destructive device and not a weapon in USA x) it's so OP even there they tried to nerf it
400 rounds per minute
3 seconds to empty the 20 shots drum mag XD
finite dragon
At least with good armor the shotgunner can do any serious bleed to you, but they can cut your health down in half.....
No love for AA-12?
spiral bear
Nah it's too much associated with MW2 for me x)
and I think USAS 12 fits better the univers of stalker ^^
it's more rustic ^^
finite dragon
Saiga 12 works well for slav boys too.
spiral bear
Ho yeah ! it's the second on my list of favourite shotgun XD
finite dragon
But nothing can beat the good old double-barrel shotgun.
spiral bear
Only if it's sawed off
finite dragon
Yep
spiral bear
One of my regrets is that you can't have variations of starting weapons that are really good and that can compete with more late game weapons
finite dragon
I think it's the balance reason.
pseudo rivet
You do have balanced weapons and armor in CoP
But not in the others
I hope they use the same concept in Stalker 2
finite dragon
Me too.
spiral bear
What I mean is like unique weapons with some specific perks like a sawed off with same time firing or shotgun with slam firing

Tbh, it would be interesting to see it added in Stalker 2
Especially how Beard described it
Crawling through the mud whilst being shot at

one thing I think would be funny is using artifacts parts to give special effects to ammo

Actually, one of the upgrades of Clear Sky uses a gravitational artifact for accuracy

And create temporary anomalies

And some armors like the Ghost Suit were given a Health Restoration effect thanks to a fruit punch
So that would be nice
finite dragon
Yeah, some weapon also make use of arti as I remember. Gauss gun for example, and also that special Chaser in Soc too.

Gauss Rifle uses a Flash Artifact for its Batteries
There's an upgrade in CS that uses a gravitational artifact

That'd be really cool if they'd implement that

If you need mods to even like a game, why are you even playing? (Applies to any game)

How can you enjoy the game if you start with the mods?

I never started with the mod

A lot of others did, however
spiral bear
I started with CS in vanilla
they are dumb
I've finished CoP at least 20 times without mods
It's my favourite by the way
spiral bear
I love CS too but... it's dated and bugged and quite a mess on a few points ^^

I've had more crashes and bugs with CoP than CS

But it's my choice of heart not of pure cold logic ^^
pseudo rivet
Never had any problems with it
spiral bear
ok ^^ never have crash with CoP or CS (besides me modding it to the sky)
pseudo rivet
Heh
spiral bear
But I must say that I really didn't like SoC not for the story or character... but... it's hell in pure gameplay, gunplay, quality of life, controls, graphics,...

I've done it once, but I'll don't redo it
I discovered stalker like one year after CS was out, by the time I got SoC, CoP was already out

They try to make him the fall guy
But heck, why doesn't this even surprise me
finite dragon
Same.
Still CoP is the only game that has a more positive ending than these other two.
pseudo rivet
The problem is
The more we know about the Zone and how deeper we penetrate through it, the less of an experience we'll have in Stalker 2
Novices can already be found near the center of the Zone
Seemingly the Zone isn't as dangerous anymore than it previously was
finite dragon
Yeah, they will make the NPP looks like a joke soon.
pseudo rivet
One way to kinda fix this is to make it so the military has taken over the Zone in that time and put the whole place in quarantine.
But it would become more action packed than horror
Although, it's an interesting concept
tired anvil
maybe not the whole zone
but the southern part
since its closer to kiev
keep pripyat, npp, limansk and stuff safer
finite dragon
And there's a chance that we'll see the Gauss more often too.
spiral bear
It would be cool to start like in a city before entering the Zone, and work your way to the center fo the Zone through the game 😃
pseudo rivet
True
This way, you could utilize a moment to sneak through the perimeter
Start the game more covert
finite dragon
Yeah, because in all 3 stalker games we always start in forest, rural areas then work the way toward the cities. Would be nice to have something different this time.
shrewd dagger
start in Chernobyl city which is way south of the CNPP
although that place would realistically be a cordon of sorts, and military base
tired anvil
gonna depend on what world they use
and how htey do it
maybe the swamps will return, who knows
finite dragon
Man someone puts me in a coma please, so I can wake up in 2021.
shrewd dagger
by then we'll have Oblivion Lost Remake 3.0
tardy sandal
to be hornest
i never played oblivion lost
i dont know how a bunch more battles with super mutants would make the main game any better
or the ability to drive cars around <_<
shrewd dagger
super mutants?
you should play it
most atmospheric Stalker experience I've had by far
tardy sandal
to be hornest
shrewd dagger
and much better map design since those alpha maps were the best
shrewd dagger
I liked them too, but then I tried mods which just improve things, then got into mods that are their own separate things
tardy sandal
sure it wasnt what they furst envisioned
but heck do i had fun with that game
i dunno
this level of
kaput code
made it even better lol
bugs in stalker are no bugs
they are gameplay features XD
especially those realim mods made the game for me teadious
and when ya add a shit load of wapons... whats the point then ?
shrewd dagger
"Realism" mods like Misery (that are far from realistic) I hate as well
tardy sandal
if i want realism
i go to the shooting range XD
and i mean
A REAL shooting range
shrewd dagger
I'm very picky about the mods I like
spiral bear
Misery = No Fun Allowed
shrewd dagger
I like Oblivion Lost Remake for the atmosphere and faithfulness to the original vision, level design and quests
I like OGSE for the improvements to atmosphere and the side quests, and its gameplay features
tardy sandal
i think the most fun i had with stalker
when i walked off the main path and said
screw it ?
shrewd dagger
haha
tardy sandal
jesus... <_y<
shrewd dagger
mods are watching...
spiral bear
It would be the second warning of the day ^^
shrewd dagger
and this is a discord for games that have pottymouth characters
but yeah
bandits and mercs are real pottymouths
anyway I also like the A-Life and Freeplay in CoC and Anomaly
tardy sandal
but ya
exploring the world and not really actually so much...
playing the game
as in avoiding enemys and just looking at stuff
was my favorite thing to do
shrewd dagger
I had the most fun doing that in Oblivion Lost Remake, due to how atmospheric it is
shrewd dagger
oh nice, I plan to but haven't been yet
tardy sandal
in full on CHEEKI BREEKI stalker outfit and all
spiral bear
Is gunslinger available to download ?
shrewd dagger
no, it's not released yet
tardy sandal
but ya
shrewd dagger
the best weapon mod right now is STCoP 3.2
shrewd dagger
I'm gonna go with a fellow fan
tardy sandal
its a pocket of "end of the world"
but it srsly was awesome that one of the soldiers there who are protecting the zone actually said
CHEEKI BREEKI when he seen my uniform lol
shrewd dagger
rofl
tardy sandal
he was also totaly like OMG about my softair AK
cause i have a softair AK-47 that is made of same material as the real one and its as heavy
tired anvil
or maybe the fact it looked like a real gun ))
shrewd dagger
is it Real Sword
tardy sandal
ya
tired anvil
idk too much about ukranian laws but arent guns like somwhat banned
tardy sandal
he was totaly like "oh my god... i thought they only made these of plastic"
real guns yes
but softairs are allowed
as long they remain under the 0.5 jule limit
shrewd dagger
Most countries are way less legally against airsoft guns because of their bans on real guns
compared to the US
tardy sandal
all i had to do is putting orange tape on the tip of the muzzle
to signal it isnt a real rifle and they where cool with it
one of the soldier also told me storys of weird happenings that happen when they are on night patrol
tired anvil
i heard that a specific guide or whatever gives you a small discount if you mention stalker or cheeki breeki
tardy sandal
one of them told me that he heard children playing and when he looked where the sound came from nothing was there
tired anvil
idk how much truth that saying had, but i want to believe it
tardy sandal
and one soldier told me that when you are all alone and there is no sound... you can hear the weirdest things
i dunno if those guys just wanted to scare the shit out of us
tired anvil
i think thats more of you brain knowing hte fact youre in an area full of radiation
tardy sandal
bbut heck
tired anvil
yeah if they werent just messing around
tired anvil
most likely
tardy sandal
i mean heck
you patroling around at night in pripyat
i bet there is some weird stuff going on there
considering that punks at times go there at night ilegaly doing all sorts of weird stuff
tired anvil
like super sus lol
tardy sandal
i once seen a guy roaming around there at night
doing all sorts of weird crap
also its weird to imagine
that there are still people living there
tired anvil
well its mainly grandmas
who just dont care about the radiation
also think they get some money from the goverment
tardy sandal
ya
but they been living there
for a long time
and funny enough they show no sign of the typical radiation damage
tired anvil
tfw youre so old you dont care about the laws of the earth and just ignore radiation
tardy sandal
i think its their superiour slav genes
tired anvil
theres a grandma in my village whos about 90 years old but still moves fine
tardy sandal
but ya... i wandered the city alone for a moment
tired anvil
also a neighbor about a similar age
tardy sandal
and i can tell you...
tired anvil
pretty impressive
tardy sandal
it is an out of this world feeling
shrewd dagger
I'll do that while high and tripping
tardy sandal
it really is a strange feeling to be in the middle of that ghost city and seeing all this stuff
tired anvil
sadly even if you were serious you couldnt
tardy sandal
believe me
tired anvil
think u cant even bring a beer
tired anvil
for best experience, jump into the reactor
shrewd dagger
doubt they'll check my shoes as I enter the zone
tardy sandal
which is good cause
wile you are smoking
your radiation intake is 500 times as bad
as an astronaut
you literally radiate yourself lol
which they now believe is one of the main factors why so many smokers get cancer
spiral bear
It would be so cool if I can play SGM 2.2 + STCoP 3.2.1 *-*
tardy sandal
tabaco literally is a plant that absorbs radiation
thats why you also not allowed to bring cigarettes
shrewd dagger
you can manually merge stcop 3.2 into sgm
spiral bear
Yep but I would need to replace all the guns of SGM because in lost soul they look nice but have not the diversity of ammos and quite limited in number, and in SGM "vanilla" they are just.... erk
tardy sandal
oh ya
also when you are at chernobyl
dont touch anything
unless you are wearing thick waterproof gloves
<_< one idiot who was with us made that mistake of touching something with his bare hands... he was awarded a trip to the hospital for decontamination
spiral bear
And throw away your shoes after... don't neglect the particles that you will carry on your cloths
spiral bear
I wouldn't take the risk
tardy sandal
nah its pretty save
they do the same checkups as in modern power plants
they scan your cloth your body and everything
if you got a particle on you that is radiated beyond the normal levels
you are forced to leave that peace of clothing for decontamination
and you be forced to go to the hospital for decontamination
which basically means
YOU GO TO SHOWERS
wile you kiss picture of great leader gorbachev... nah just kidding
but ya
the soldiers there know what they are doing
some idiots actually once stole material from chernobyl
those idiots died 5 days after
they not want an incident like that ever again
spiral bear
What did they stole ?
shrewd dagger
artifacts
spiral bear
because it's really quick
tardy sandal
radiated material from the basement of the pripyat hospital
you know... that room where they put all the clothing of the firefighters
that stuff is so far radiated
shrewd dagger
smart
tardy sandal
entering the room can already give you a full on lethal dosage of radiation
one of the soldiers once showed us a dosimeter they tied rome onto and then flung it into that room
and pulled it out...
only for 3 seconds...
the bloody thing BURNED OUT electrically
just gone kaputsky
you can only imagine
how hardcore radiated those firefighters where
shrewd dagger
that's insane
tardy sandal
it is a very dangerous place to be
but when you follow the orders and the rules you are fine
spiral bear
I know but they should have done something more to die that quick, that's weird
tardy sandal
even tough... i really would love to lick that elephants foot <_<
tardy sandal
well
the best thing they could have done to those fire fighters
was shooting them ont he spot...
it would have been far more mercifull what they actually did to those poor people
spiral bear
I was speaking about the not so smart guys
tardy sandal
oh ya right
those fire fighters slowly and agonizing slowly rotted from the inside out... you can only IMAGINE under how much horrible pain those people must have suffered
spiral bear
because firefighters where directly exposed to more than 15 000 roetgens for a few hours, and some survived weeks
tardy sandal
shooting them on the spot would have been mercy
spiral bear
and those not so smart people in only 5 days, from residual trace of radiation ? I don't say the firefighters didn't suffer or what just that's weird af
tardy sandal
well
i seen pictures of those fire fighters
during their agonitzing slow decay... and there is also video material of it...
spiral bear
I know, not something I want to see
tardy sandal
believe me... nothing can prepare you for what you can see in that video footage
i was stupid enough to watch that stuff... but then i have a sickness that is called "uranium fever"
its what we call the hardcore love of everything chernobyl
must have seen the documentarys a billion times
tired anvil
ive seen a pic of a dude from some explosion in the 90s i think where basically only his veins existed
he was also somehow brought back to life like 3 times
and lived a few weeks but in huge pain
tardy sandal
poor man
tardy sandal
ah ya
that man
seen pictures of him close up and stuff
the irony of his name...
ouchi....
tired anvil
yeah..
shrewd dagger
trying to keep such victims alive is just torture
tardy sandal
best choice in the situation is to take a rock and smack their head in
it only is mercy
tired anvil
yeah he even begged for death
but they literally brought him back
the fact that more than once as well just makes it more sad
tardy sandal
just disgusting
moraly and ethically wrong
but ya
fukoshima
same as interesting
tired anvil
idk if ur saying thats fukoshima or not but thats not fukoshima
tardy sandal
no i mean in general
tired anvil
ah ok
tired anvil
only 1 died from radiation there tho
tardy sandal
makes it even worse
tardy sandal
well
tired anvil
idk too much about fukushima, what happened there?
tardy sandal
also a lot of fire fighters dies
er died
who went in and never came out
their corpses are still in there
tired anvil
reminds me of another horrible event but i cant think of it
tardy sandal
the thing is
that the japanese still havent learnd anything from it
their nuclear industrie is run like an italian gangster cosanostra
tired anvil
youd think the people who are crazy about work and got nuked twice would know...
tardy sandal
ya
thing is
i believe the nuclear is at the moment the only way forward
until we developed better more safer efficiant and greener energy sources
tired anvil
my country has a nuclear station
its shut down
why? because its the same as chernobyl
even got used in the mini series
tardy sandal
BUT we have to turn off all the old plants and replace them with the absolute modern plants
the modern ones that are only on paper
have over 50 safety stages
and they are equiped for every eventuality
with systems that are also working without any power etc
tired anvil
i just found out the reactor in my country was once the biggest in the world
thats crazy to think considering how small the country is
tardy sandal
and the rods can be used for over a 1000 years before they need to be exchanged which makes the waste not very big
and we could use that 1000 years to invest in research wile the people get a cheap power source
cause this green energy as of now

play a good mod
like OLR
I heard there's a mod in which we can pilot a MI24 Hind or something?
proud herald
LA is good
Although I kinda expected some sort of side-story with a new protagonist rather than ShoC with even more content.
shrewd dagger
well it makes it clear that its goal was to be the game GSC originally intended (which changed to just being a reimagining of SoC with some of that old content)
finite dragon
play a real content restoration mod like OLR
shrewd dagger
proud herald
it's the same though
"you're strelok, go to chernobyl, done"
I'd rather have a new character, or a player created character.
But in that case I might as well just install CoC
finite dragon
play spatial anomaly
proud herald
I just want Ray of Hope to come out 
proud herald
you got any proof?
shrewd dagger
If you want to play very different mods where you play as someone else, check out (in no particular order):
Anomaly
Valley of Whispers
Spatial Anomaly
Dollchan 7
There's also Goldsphere when the translation is finished
finite dragon
Especially play spatial anomaly
oblique turtle
yknow i just realized that i don't think ive seen a single pistol that can have optics attached. why is that?
finite dragon
because thats retarded
tired anvil
unturned
finite dragon
unless its like a small red dot or something thats retarded
tired anvil
unless they fixed that years ago, you can put a big scope on a revolver
and yeah its retarded tbh
oblique turtle
no i obviously dont want to put a huge honkin acog on a pistol
like let me find an example
tired anvil
just bring back clear skys pistol zoom ))
oblique turtle
yeah thats what i meant
