call of chernobyl works just like a stalker game
mod it like you would a stalker game
Smurth's Dynamic Hud
this is the mod i trying to install
but didnt work
and now i am confusing
i make everything like in the note to install and crashed my foolking CoC
S.T.A.L.K.E.R In 2007-2010 before the meme was created: this game is... ONE OF THE WORST... BUGGIEST FPS GAME OF ALL TIME! 49/100! GSC Game world creators should burn in hell for 6 years of lazyness! S.T.A.L.K.E.R in 2015-2019: one of the buggiest but Funny and memish games of all time ! 99/100
If you a good insurance policy for STALKER modding get a mod manager
well
There is one specifically for CoC I believe
F
please tell me its because I cant see the folder please
in gamedata
because my first mod was smurth's dynamic HUD and I wanted it for eating animations
I didnt seen the required folders for COC
so i just dumped the folders of needed folders
and mod worked...
so if i delete the folders I wont screw up my game
wow
good protection
@cerulean bolt Yes
MOOOOOOODS
Yes?
pls demote you
Can't
gauss rifle acquired
@cerulean bolt
I'm sorry, but that word is now not allowed on the server
what word
whats so cute and funny?
You'd know best
we will remove no badword rule
no cute and funny allowed only unattractive and unfunny
???
who told you again
Just wait a little bit longer
just wait bro
we will be playing stalker 2 then in #📰┃announcement "you can now say badword"
Quick question
what mod allows you to teleport to locations + spawn in weapons for SoC
@shrewd dagger probably knows a mod that does that
Nah, it's for a video
Atlas spawn menu but it probably doesn't restore teleporting
Playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R CoP and listening to Kino in the same time is the best thing
^ gen Z in a nutshell
Kinda
Like
I'm a part od Gen Z
I'm a Gen Z but I hate having something in background while playing stalker
z word
Zoomer ain't an insult in of itself
see he agrees with me
apparently it's some kind of russian indie folk rock band or something
I was expecting random synthesized sounds falsely labeled "music" by gen Z
Kino is a pretty good post soviet rock band
And some from Gen Z really like that post soviet depression in music
likely just a stalker fan thing
Not really
It is classified as "doomer music"
But I like Kino tbh
As well as other post soviet rock bands
Because they're pretty chill to listen
Perfect for long nights
It's just Gen Z thing that we like to get... melancholic
Dude I point blank mercs with a shotgun and they don't die wtf
Meanwhile a grenade barely grazes me and I die with an exo on
Who even came up with this dumb balance
On top of that pip scopes don't work with nightvision
all scopes are not supposed to work with night vision in that mod since they wouldn't in real life; night vision goggles would block it
hence why it has night vision scopes
Too bad none of the guns you can find early can support night vision
plenty do actually but the scopes are more expensive, it's not low end equipment
every AK and that SOK-94 have night vision scopes
Get no what? AKs? Those are all over
Night vision scopes? Yes those will be rare until later
It's called progression
The NV scopes
Not the aks
At least I got an m4 from mercs so I can ditch the mossin
play master
As for shotguns, there are many different 12 gauge ammo types
on rookie enemies soak bullets
you see ivan
I'm playing on "OP2" difficulty
lmao
you hold ak like nato gun
Yet enemies are bulletsponges
and silly bandit too busy laugh because you poor
What ThioJones said is just wrong even for vanilla
No, master in vanilla is easier due to enemies actually dying
yes
Nope
On rookie they're CS-tier bulletsponge
Let me see if I can find the chart
fake
rookie and pmm only is nightmare mode
master and pmm only is duty morning training
Yes and enemies have truckloads of hp to compensate
no you cant just include information that invalidates my claim
Running out of ammo on rookie was easy due to enemies having dumb hp bars
anyway he's playing a mod that doesn't follow that
that person actually dug through the files as I have and it is correct
he is playing OGSR
anyway yes 12 gauge #00 buckshot is not getting through merc armor in one shot
Dude almost pointblank to the head and they just fell over
Also the bushes not letting you see enemies because it's "unfair"
nah the head = one shot kill
Only way to reliable kill stuff up to now was just rush like a dumbass and magdump with a 9x19 gun because lmao
headshots are always reliable
No they're not, I'm using a nagant with armor piercing rounds and unless I don't hit the head slightly above the mouth the hit-register lands on the chest
Not true, the jaw is its own hitbox and its damage value is the same as the rest of the head
so you're probably hitting the upper chest and neck
neck would ideally do the job too but yeah I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't
neck is likely instant incapacitation with Mosin
or near instant
And neck isn't good enough? Like I'm not that good but I'm landing my shots yet they barely see to do damage, I even see the blood splats
But they don't even bleed out
Which is neat when dealing with mutants
You hit them 2 times and let them bleed out
Good feature
It's not that I hate the mod or say it's bad
Just that up to now there hasn't been too much consistency
Guns are a beauty though
They look nice and play nice
Also incendiary slugs are a meme
I land them yet I don't see any extra effect over just a regular one
there is, it uses the standard "explosive round" effect which is only used by that and other tracer/incendiary ammo
and that effect is actually pretty accurate to real life
in real life 12 gauge incendiary slugs upon impact will just give like a quick spark
not a small spark mind you
though it'll leave burn marks
in real life
No, I meant as in damage dealing, don't they "burn" hp just like bleeding?
Or is it just explosive damage that bypasses armor?
you can see the difference in properties in the description
@frail spire Gonna guess you play on Master?
that difficulty mode is what's actually a "meme" by the way
master is best
It’s only a meme from how many grenades they throw at you on master
fake news
You must be playing on rookie
is someone's year 2020?
Guarantee
I'm playing on master mate
react gun
you should realize every mod is different than vanilla and each other
^
That's why i said "Reminder i play on CoC"
CS master probs hardest from CNPP being nade fest
was made in 2017
but in their it was in 2018
which means its either 2020 for some countries
because right now i have 2019
lol
the most grenade spam in CS is at the construction site in Limansk
So far only the miltary and duty have yeeted grenades at me
N o
@frail spire why the hell are you playing on OP2 difficulty lmao
that setting is a meme
Clear sky runs in my blood
Fake Saint Jester
ok freedumb lol chekkov fan lol
xD
veteran in OGSR English edition is actually master
you know its a joke
Ye
CNPP they throw like 15+
That’s their first instinct:throw a grenade before shooting
I'm jester's personal parrot
Never ran into duty till now
I say everything he says because I cant think for myself
his opinions live rent free in my head
@main scaffold :) welcome to rostok/Aprogrom
go to KRYL
OV
@frail spire play on veteran in OGSR and you'll enjoy it more, OP2 difficulty is a meme that pleb filters people who don't know about OP2
IE you
Red Forest is hell
you got pleb filtered
anyone have a good mods for my COC?
that's gross dude

🧥
disgusting

@finite dragon ye gimme a moment
@finite dragon LONER JOIN DUTY AND HELP THE ININ SURVIVE
Wat


Well time to murder freedom
keep playing it on OP2 difficulty and you'll be filtered
The only issue I really have with the difficulty is how they never run out of grenades
that's more of an OGSE/OGSR thing itself rather than jester adding it
But thats it, bulletsponges aren't an issue until for some reason they throw nades at their own feet
that's just a stalker thing
merc armor is meant to tank 5.45 and 5.56
and don't play on OP2 difficulty
flings granade at feet near me
OP2 difficulty mode just gives AI ridiculous firing accuracy
keep moving
both die
and yeah AI is much worse at hitting moving targets
what you should REALLY do is play OGSR Hardcore Edition
where every NPC has a one hit kill gun or close to it
and max accuracy
I refuse to lower diff until I come across some really dumb situation
this is why you should've played hardcore edition
you can transfer your save over to hardcore edition
the current level you're on will be the same
So far is as expected from a mod, we'll see how hard to kill are monoliths
the next NEW level you go to would become hardcore edition
regular Monoliths are comparable to Mercs and regular soldiers
those are all the same
at the bare minimum you want 5.56 AP/5.45 AP against them
but 30 cal AP is preferable
and above
...or just shoot them in the head
Yep, already done, have 5.56s ap and m1
a Makarov can drop them with headshots easily
M4 right
or something
I don't even know
And the pp-91 because I liked it for some reason
special forces soldiers are armored almost all over, they're the next step up
and then the step up above that is SKAT boys and exoskeleton people
I'll probably need a legit sniper for those
it's balanced more realistically when it comes to what ammo penetrates what armor, so any 7.62x51 sniper rifle for example would do the same as a battle rifle in the same caliber
but by then you'll have some amazing gear
so no worries...
you need to try the KS-23 when you come across it way later
So instead of looking for guns I should be looking for big bullots right?
Well I will let you know that since guns are a big part of that mod, you get some sweet ones as quest rewards
especially for some bigger side quests
Oh yeah I got a rifled saiga from killing the mercs
Those sabot rounds will do wonders
yeah there's one, also I think Sid can give you a SOK-94 early on (7.62x39 civilian rifle, powerful but only 10 rounds and semi auto)
sabot is great against everything
♥️ 
some of the best/rarest guns are only quest rewards
Yall ever fight 17+ bandits with only a pistol?
THIS IS WHAT I DID
no I only cleared Agroprom military base with only a pistol in SoC
Welp got a fully geared akms, somehow a master loner got rekt by dogs
BANDITS VS CUT THROATS

I HAD A WALKER
wow nice, does it have the 75 round mag lol
Yes, and a kobra
I WANTED TO FIX IT
that can feasibly be used until the end of the game
it's not top tier but it's adequate
I only need to get a cheapo suppresor
Once you go to Agroprom it triggers some Master ranked dudes to go to the Cordon
then you could go there and hope they get killed by dogs and stuff
then take their stuff
A few master loners appeared without getting to agro, probably due to how many contracts I did already
Sid gave me a few bugs with 0 reward but the missions were mostly from mutant parts
So it wasn't that disruptive
yeah that's a known issue with mutant part quests
Hi everybody!
And now I got a fal para the hell
I'm sorry @raw whale, but could you edit out the swears?
Suddenly good guns everywhere
I've read one of the Folklore entries in the PDA, there's one where a guy says he came across a female in the zone, apparently a member of the Ecos, in which he decided to help to get somewhere safe, and both shared some experiences.
What was all that about? he say she was glowing.
He meant she worked for the goverment 
That's how beautiful he found her
@pseudo rivet it for the bot dont catch, but if you talking about another word please tell me
so
oh
k
welp
Hey, Monilitha. Remember the battle between Duty, Freedom and a Controller?
Came across one in Pripyat.
What a damned coincidence.
@pseudo rivet i tried to install smurth hud
and this kill the CoC normal and CoC stansons
The controller didn't meant Poop to the situation, got rocketed by a Dutier in a matter of seconds.
Dude wtf the akms is shredding everything
@clever verge best weapon to hunt a battle
Me? Nah, i've already had what i needed.
to a battle*****
i got bored of looting right away.
he is not ;-;
i have desinstall the game
in monolith save i have a exoesqueleton and a vintar bc
this thing is serious now
rush to get my old itens now
Ah hell.... time for agro underground

Dude... rats can handle a 9x19 LMAO
This time Im just gonna sit and wait for the blood to kill em
Oof got succed
i think a try to buy a new pc
Sky Reclamation Project is the best fix mod there is for CS, right?
"My head is splitting... and spinning too, basically i'm in great shape".
-Scar.
So edgy.
@clever verge yeah hahhaa
@raw whale Do you know how exactly to bind keys with the console?
I can't quite figure out the sentence.
I got it, i was missing the "k"
Bind Cam_2 kF1
In terms of optimization, which one of the trilogy runs better?

well theyre all 32bit and they all kinda have poop graphics, but probably CoP
but throw enough graphics mods on theyre and they'll all run like garbage
depens on pc, I believe
if you have anything build in the last 10 years you wont have issues running them
but the 32bit engine will limit the amount you can do to it
Well, yes. If we mention graphics it'll only be about CS and CoP.
but with mods having 64 bit engines nowadays that helps
Well, not all mods run in x32 
I'm screwed. I had a gtx 560, ran CS like butter, looked gorgeous. But it got issues, seems like the memory chips, or the Mosfet are overheating, because of the lack of cooling, very primitive cooling design.
So now all i have left is the intel inside hd 4600
Which it had it quite limited with SoC in some parts.
I can't just get a new GPU, this country where i live is in constant crisis, money is loosing value every week.
I was good baking the GPU from time to time, but now i can't do it with the new oven we have, is too strong.
ryzen 2200g is 77 USD
you'll also need a new mobo but thats cheap as well
its also a cpu upgrade as well so
I just can't, i've built my pc with the purpose of getting something new, but things went down, what i bought was relatively new, but it got old rather quickly.
Every dollar is inflated around %6700 it's value.
what country do you live in
Argentina 🇦🇷
77 usd is 4600 pesos 
5352 actually.

The government has set up a blockage for buying Dollars. They want you to root on pesos.
you can't even spend more than 50 dollars, or else they'll put a heavy tax.
Pretty much. Ruled by Socialist scums.
get outta there
america

america stronk
Absolutely, what's even funnier, here in Arg they all poop on USA, calling them evil Caps... While we think we are better. We are starving.
do you have the bread lines yet?
Not YET.
give it a couple years 
But we are getting there. There's a alimentary basket (they call it) for old folks.
that doesn't even last 4 days.

agreed
🔫 @astral valve VooV ViiV
you say some swears for me, and we're even
-> treat me like a rookie, i dont play master
-> just give me a badword
No...
oh ne
I'm starting to remember why I hated going back and fort so much without guides
yes
yeah and Bar always has one
Yeah found the bar one but haven't seen the other ones
The Yantar guide is in the bunker behind one of the doors
a soldier with a helicopter on the roof
He will only guide you after X-16
the Cordon one is Guide himself, from SoC
I got until the "go get files from lab at dark valley" which barkeep said I would need protection, to which I assumed he meant the psy helmet
So I just went to yantar throught wild territory and helped the ecologist team while I was there
you don't need the psy helmet for x-18
he just means you need armor
why would you assume you need the psy helmet
he misunderstood
he was unattentive and miss the important detail
Protection can mean a bunch of things
That dialogue from barkeep is directly from SoC
Well not really, I did the quest for the guy near the jeep and got a bunch of artifacts while doing it
Did you know you can join a bandit gang in that mod and be a real gangster
No, but I guess I should have known from the troll guy who gives you the option
Also snitch sells a neutrality thing which I guess it plays part too
That's separate, just to clear your reputation but yeah it's through Troll
going down that path is funny
and it's authentic
all of that was written by Jekan who wrote a lot of other stuff in that mod, like every book you can read and some other quests
I legit forgot how nice was to just walk around and find artifacts
The books are a cool lecture for the emmisions
CoP kinda killed it with anomalous areas
Also OGSR made me like the artifact system from ShoC more than CoP one
Yeah although artifacts in that mod are unexciting compared to NLC 7, wait till you see that
Well tbh soc does have a stupidly big belt
CoP is tied to belt slots to avoid exploting I guess
Looking at the size of the artifacts... You should be able to carry that many
Also attaching them to the physical belt would be just stupid
So still the system makes sense
NLC is the only mod (and I guess Prospector's Project which copies its systems a lot) that explains why you need artifacts to be on your belt/belt slot for them to work
but also artifacts in that mod just have more varied, interesting effects, and there are many more types of artifacts
plus they are used for trade
artifacts are super exciting in that mod
I do believe CoP system was ok, only issue was that artifacts were boring
SoC had best artifact animations
You didn't have things like firefly that made having it for the quick heal a must
Most of them were just resistances and stamina
Watching Mama’s Bead actually walk and stumble was funny
CoP artifacts are the same as Clear Sky's for the most part, just slightly different balancing but the same primary effects for every single one besides Compass
CoP’s healing artifacts didn’t feel as effective as CS’s @shrewd dagger
Kolobok and Mamas Bead were so OP, but I’m CoP they were very slow
Yeah, health restoration was really neutered
CS they acted pretty fast
Everything was op in cs except your guns 
I can attach a firefly and flame and it still wouldn’t be as effective as CS’s kolobok and mamas bead combo
That's not a bad thing due to how ridiculously OP healing artifacts are in CS
Yeah they were very OP, I can sit in a corner with that combo I mentioned and be at full health in less than a minute
In CoP it takes wayyyy too long to recover
Because it's not properly translated
it will be
brog
NLC 7 also has AMK transmutation + some additional transmutes
so combining artifacts and sometimes mutant parts into anomalies
to create new artifacts with potentially awesome properties
Is there a mod where you can play as Eco?
every CoC mod
yeah
Basically that
What kind of quest has?
generic cyclic crap
Mostly escort missions

Killing healer after he tells me about the tablet on the roof is really nice
Get my chunk and flower back
I've got a chunk
Where the hell are the items he flinged over the barn
They are on those weird columns
Climb on the roof and look at those outside supports
He had a really lucky throw ngl
Thats an interesting throw
I can't believe i actually paid 2.000 rubles for information i already knew.
paying for info from a bandit
He got lucky i couldn't draw my guns in the bar.
Heh
Wait, this was meant for Stalker 2. channel
No wonder i paid that guy, i'm such an idiot.
Nah
He might be convincing to some
But Healer is worse
Because he is such a little brat
Had to teach him some discipline
What's his story?
He asks for a meat chunk to help a guy
Guy dies anyways and tells you about a cache, regardless if you tell healer or not he gets there first
You tell him to spill the beans and says "nuh uh, give me a stone flower"
Those artifacts in SoC are garbage.
He now took 2 artifacts from you, so after he tells you about the documents you blow his brains out
Meat chunk not really
Stone flower yeah, but still, you could sell them or use them for other quests
Still, that's early game
you must forget SoC artifacts
Yeah
Meat Chunk is tier 2 healing artifact
In soc at least the meat chunk heals a lot
Which is amazing for early game
Later you can get something else but still
Right. for Rookies is glory.
"Lesson on how to get loot without risk"
Me: Aight thats it
No, i meant to say, he was asking for poopy artifacts, at least he could've demanded a soul one.
Soul is too much for the early game
Like
That quest is 2nd or 3rd one you can get
But isn't there a lottery system, in which you could get a super rare item straight away?
no
Man, I want to but I can't stress it enough how much I hate people like Healer

After the talk with him near the grain collector I just wanted one thing
To surgically remove his kneecaps
With a .50
Not an OG-7V warhead?
You need some koloboks to toughen your skin, mah child.
Them Z gens looking for koloboks.
Tbh I was waiting for Healer to turn hostile after I turned around
To carry for daily life routines.
I have a Steel Kolobok and Diamond Kolobok in NLC
the latter was made by throwing a Kolobok into a Burner for 3 in-game hours
It is a magnificent looking artifact
"When you hold this mystery of the Zone in your hands, you feel how your skin becomes tougher and less sensitive"
That's only described for SoC?
in CS and CoP it says it heals
yes in CS/CoP it's a healing artifact
CS/CoP have no such artifacts
NLC has every kind of artifact and more
best mod
e.g. I have an Emerald Stone Blood, Emerald Jellyfish, and Emerald Wrenched, which are like much more potent versions of the original artifacts in SoC (except for the Emerald Stone Blood which no longer heals, 25% Impact resistance)
but the downsides are also stronger
And if you wear all three of them at once, a unique effect happens
It drops you beneath the floor where you're standing, and destroys the artifacts in the process I believe
We need a Kolobok emoji for those who gets offended quite easily.
Why not
The artifact tiers and all
artifact tiers are in every game
I dislike that system. A lot
But just such simple ones
Diamond, emerald
Be more creative, create new artifacts with new names and looks
That's what NLC did, you're making wild assumptions right now
kolobok now
you now believe there are Emerald versions of every artifact
no, just three
NLC has by far the most creative take on artifacts
I'm guessing from what you're saying
I need to check it myself really
But I'll wait for the translation
SoC = 4 tiers
CS and CoP = 3 tiers + some specials
NLC = basically 8 tiers + "pendulum" artifacts which have very strong effects that only work at certain times (at other times I believe they do nothing)
I have a Steel Kolobok and Diamond Kolobok in NLC
That's what worries me
That the tiers are just like steel, diamond, emerald
Etc
What are the stats on those Kolobok?
It's not like that. @robust forge
zoomer: soul
boomer: that stamina artifact that made you sonic
all of those are listed here minus a few
I'd love to see artifacts being dealt with the same way as weapons and armor from CoP: They're all equally good, just in their own way/playstyle.
they dont make bulletproof artifacts like they used to
That is impossible Comrade Crimson unless you have such a small amount of artifacts that you end up with just far too little
True
And it's only logical to have different potency
I don't really like transmutes tbh
What don't you like about it?
But yeah that's the source of 4 of these tiers
Transmutes are actually based on lore
loosely
You know, just the whole idea about transmuting something rubs my scientific side the bad way
It feels out of place for me aswell
Zdes ZONA, bratan.
🧀
Official artifact descriptions literally describe some artifacts as being akin to those transmutes, e.g. Thorn I believe is the result of a burnt fuzz interacting with a corpse
Transmutes are just that same idea
Except now you can cause such reactions
So how does that bother you more than how artifacts are handled originally?
I'd still like to see the source on this
Your source is SoC's in game description of the Thorn:
"The result of the interaction between the anomaly Burnt Fuzz and the body of a careless stalker. The Thorn artifact pokes the body of its owner, no matter what. But it also helps clean the body of radionucliodes. Quite widespread and cheap."
The idea of transmuting the artifacts themselves just isn't the same as transmuting some normal stuff in anomalies for me
Like
It doesn't feel good for me
And I don't understand your last point proamulus
Or maybe I do
So are you saying you're okay with combining misc components into anomalies to create an artifact, like that Thorn?
Because you can do that in NLC as well
the zone doesn't work under normal laws of the world as well proamulus
Ik
throw your IRL science out the door chief
Some artifacts are made up of mutant parts (never human parts since they didn't want to make new items out of them), although those also require an artifact
There is no real science being discussed here AT ALL, daizen
^
Ultimately it boils down to internal consistency with Stalker's world building, and transmutation doesn't violate that, it actually expands on it and answers some unanswered questions
Transmutations don't ruin the consistency, but I just don't like them
The only thing I know which is canonically confirmed is activating an artifact to create an anomaly
Yeah that's fine, I wonder if you'd like it in practice though
What do you mean in practice
playing NLC in particular
Any idea where I could find something about transmutations?
Transmutations just take that idea e.g. Thorn being the result of Burnt Fuzz interacting with a corpse, and expanding on it
So there you have a "recipe"
It makes you wonder what happens when certain things interact with anomalies for prolonged periods of time
Do those objects take on anomalous properties, like artifacts? Thorn is that
The next step is, what happens if you expose artifacts to different anomalies?
We already know about suits
Are they transformed?
And that is what transmutation is, answering a question that really should be addressed officially I think, doing so in a natural and fitting way
And at the same time it creates more artifact tiers which is necessary for a really long mod like NLC
NLC has by far the best progression in the series but it's also much longer, so its progression had to be redesigned a lot
And then of course that mod uses artifacts in a unique way sometimes
e.g. some anomaly-artifact reactions can cause an anomaly to be destroyed (taking the artifact with it too)
To enter X-16 in NLC 7, there are two different paths and each one requires special artifacts for logical reasons, so artifacts have more of a role in gameplay
when you go into a whirlgig with the car by accident
Opposed to just WEAR 'EM AND FORGET 'EM
there's also interesting things like artifact activation that I believe is an AMK feature too
NLC actually doesn't even have that
I want a controller hand that fires psiwaves to rekt people
you need a controllers brain
so controller skull
acts like alien skull in indiana jones kingdom of crystal skull
To be fair, I'd like to see artifact activation for S.T. 2. It's kinda said to be a thing, at least for the Moonlight artifact. I'm not sure if other artifacts also work in this concept.
Some artifacts could be made to be logically able to be activated
Also
Artifact, which isn't an artifact as much as it is a seed
It'd form like an artifact and it'd work like an artifact
But if left for long enough it'll start to grow into a plant
lol what
Like
Imagine throwing a seed into some anomaly
And the seed transmutes into an artifact
But it's still that seed
What
I am of course talking about sunflower seeds from the David brand
I would just snot on a bolt if it required organic material to activate an anomaly.
The ones already with or without shells.
Ruby Battery = -55 endurance, +35% electric shock, +35% rupture, +35% radiation protection (not reduction)
Diamond Kolobok = +4 radiation poisoning, +40% impact resistance, +40% rupture, +40% radiation protection, -20% telepathy
How do you counter act radiation?
same as in vanilla, use artifacts that reduce radiation

so its stamina
The Compass in NLC can be used to create teleport anomalies though I haven't learned yet how this works and for all I know only select few NPCs can do this
To be fair, it also has that in CoP
CoP's Compass has energy recovery + radiation + random properties that the devs punched in blindly
Teleports? Where to they take you
But yeah, I agree. The one in CoP isn't all that great
NPCs that can create Teleport anomalies with a Compass can point the teleport to select few maps
usually nearby
so its f*llout fast travel

I never tried it, only talked about it
What is this, Team Fortress?
Well you may recall teleport anomalies are in SoC
Yes, but they're are placed by the Zone, not man made and where you can select the drop outs.
Actually it appears to be the opposite
Monolith teleport to you all over CNPP
in CS too
also in Sarcophagus
They do in SoC and CS
Yeah, but that's for already static teleportation anomalies
When you are decoding the Secret door, Monolith start to teleport in waves to kill you
Not only, in SoC Sarcophagus they teleport into the room with the locked door
in CS they do that throughout the CNPP map, teleporting in where there are no already placed teleport anomalies
and once you get to the other side of the CNPP, they start to teleport on your way.
Huh
Weird
How could they control the location where they want to be transported at?
So NLC just made another existing concept more involved in the game, but still very limited
one of many unanswered questions
I mean, Monolithians don't use Compasses
We don't know that, also creation of a teleport destroys the compass
in NLC
NLC tries to explain how it works but because it was machine translated it was a lot of gibberish for me 
What's Monolithians concept on Artifacts?
Tributes, I believe
Based on how they were placed near the trash heap in Pripyat in SoC
tributes seems correct
Plus, one of their weapons is actually powered by an artifact
Right, i wondered why they were so many artifacts in that monument.
Although...
What are the artifacts that are around the antenna?
Are they always the same?
Antenna? The one in Red Forest?
Nope, the makeshift one in Pripyat, SoC
Yeah always the same
The Trash heap Jester mentioned.
Hmm, I'll check their descriptions
maybe Battery
Mama's Beads??!, all i saw where Koloboks!
I like how monolithians are just calm while in battle, they won't make any sound when they detect you.
unlike other who start shooting and giving away their position
I suppose it's just tribute, yeah
Imagine Monolithians fully decked out with artifacts

imagine that... in NLC
with "Absolute" transmutes
I've never even had an artifact that good
I'll just drop all my inventory and convert.
Imagine them with chemical artifacts, such as the Kolobok and the Firefly
Both hardened skin and the ability to be raised from the dead

Artifacts should be able to be destroyed to cause some sort of consequence to people with or around them.
If I blow up an artifact with only negative properties it should cause radiation to a certain distance.
I can then carry them instead of grenades and cause chemical wars fare
Warfare*
How do you activate them in order to explode.
Maybe they take up to %25 off your health?
i once found a compass lying about in the mineshaft in red forest
just straight up sitting there
CoC
too ez
You must have never played Clear Sky
I am disappoint
@clever verge probs if some way of causing damage to it can happen, it’ll react in some way, that gives a whole new level of weaponry to the zone, being able to set someone on fire with an Eye artifact, basically acting as a Molotov, you get the idea?
Idk it’s just a thought, using artifacts and sacrificing them as alternative weapons I guess
||thats foresters compass you found||
Man, Dialogues in Clear Sky has been improve a %100 in comparison to SoC.
Every main character have their own personality and charisma, and they are passionate on their subjects. Love it.
Even hearing the Rookie say "Let's play, catch a grenade!"
The moment i hear that, couldn't hold my laugh, and immediately realized i was in the middle of his way, it's far more enjoyable CS, i would say.
Also, DX 10.1 seems to run far better than DX 9, at leas it's more fluid and has less fluctuation in FPS.
Also, i'm liking the gunplay it has, i applied some of the optional mods it came with the SRP, the alternate ballistics and the feasible stealth.
Does Scar has a healing mutation cause of the exposure to emissions?
For some reason my character heals itself with time.
Nothing on me yet, really early game.
i ignored the health bar for about 5 to 10 seconds and it was replenish
i had about %70
CS might be a little forgiving with regen
That might be an issue. and even when i choose Veteran as difficulty
I think i might like this whole Faction war, seeing the dots interacting with each other, while waiting for the night to go by and keeping an eye on a renegade camp is fun.

God, the swamps have a crazy design, it's a fricking maze!
and not to mention that something i've seen, it screamed like a Bloodsucker, but right away it jumped really high from the grassland.
Crepy stuff.
Swamps Monsters are very rare
The weird thing about them is that they even leave the Great Swamps to hunt at Agroprom
Ok, I have another idea for an anomaly
Not even an anomaly but an anomalous place
Imagine the area that's somehow an enclosed ecosystem, but rich in oxygen
Like, really rich in it
And it's somehow divided from the rest of the world
So if everything there is rich in oxygen, then everything would be big
Horsetails and lycopodiums the size of trees
That'd look interesting
"that's no forest"
I know these places are pretty popular. I honestly like them as well. But I think it would feel out of place, unless the whole Zone would be filled with anomalous areas.
I'm not saying that all of those places should be put in the Zone
Just a small idea
And it'd go nicely with the area-specific mutants suggestion
Since not only the flora but fauna would be enlarged aswell
I've been wondering for the longest time:
What does SEVA stand for? Is it an acronym like "Scientific Extra Vehicular Activties" suit or "Scientific Exploration of Volatile Areas" suit? Maybe a different meaning in Ukrainian?
Or is it just a name like any other?
Probably like any others
At least we can assume that the PSZ stands for Personal Protection System
How that connects with the letters though, I don't know
maybe it's a different spelling in the cyrillic alphabet?
It is written as CEBA in cyrillic (translating as SEVA in english)
Thought it might've changed how the word was interpreted
It's СЕВА if you take the letters and make them cyrillic, but that doesn't carry across the meaning.
Which I couldn't find to begin with.
It might be Suit for Extra-Vehicular Activities, but the scientist have a better suited armor for that.
It might just be like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - a cool acronym without any meaning.
it may just be the name of it, not even an acronym
@robust forge That whole anomalous area idea is brilliant. Could be an area for oversized bugs.
Clear Sky doesn't fool around, huh.
Barely sat foot in Cordon and already being machined gunned by the military, took me a damned while to get to safety.
anyone know how i can get some help, my saves are crashing when i load them
i uninstalled smurths dynamic hud and its fixed
Is there any Console command to enable Fps measure on screen?
something like "show_fps"
use your eyes
^ this
Have you tried Anomaly?
