🔩┃trilogy_modifications

[rich gate]

the one I tried was Wind of Time

didnt finish it but I kinda enjoyed it

[snow walrus]

I see

[rich gate]

I was recommended to try it again so I might one day

but basically you are an old STALKER who had to travel back in time for a mission

thats all I will say

most mods I have played were freeplay mods

first was CoC while it was viral

[snow walrus]

once i finish CoP i will replay all 3 of them on max difficulty

but then i need mods for new experience

[rich gate]

maybe probbaly just mods that fix major bugs or problems for trilogy

something that doesnt change the gameplay much, only fixes the current thing

[snow walrus]

yeah most probably

something that may temper gunplay

cuz i have already suffered a lot

[blazing lichen]

If you click on chymos profile he has a chart of story mods you can take a peak at

also based af

[rich gate]

ooooo nice

[blazing lichen]

AYO i got one

goldsphere is a solid story mod aswell

[rich gate]

@snow walrus

[blazing lichen]

he is more knowledgable on story mods then me ngl

im kinda the freeplay guy haha

[rich gate]

same lol

I like messing around in the sandbox zone

[blazing lichen]

i'm slowly branching into storys now though

[blazing lichen]

esp cotz 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

[rich gate]

I need to reinstall cotz

[blazing lichen]

teamlite is great so far tbh

[snow walrus]

goldsphere?

[blazing lichen]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/goldsphere-completion really good story mod by jekan its loosely based on roadside picnic i started it a bit ago its solid

[snow walrus]

i'll grab that and save it 4 later

thx a lot

[rich gate]

whats that

[blazing lichen]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bF7x1jUQyps&t unique freeplay mod its growing on me

[rich gate]

looks like shoc

LMAO

why is there Leon re2 and Zoey from l4d

[blazing lichen]

eastern modscene is wild lol

[rich gate]

eastern modscene is basically schizophrenia

its funny and I love it

Food

@blazing lichen did a bit of trolling

I committed murder

[blazing lichen]

[rich gate]

Just because we are both working for the government does not mean I dont have to kill them

or not allowed to

we are in the zone

[blazing lichen]

anything goes in the zone tbh

i would NOT trust alot of these stalkers ngl

[runic perch]

Jesus how long is it gonna take before Stalker 2 gets mod support

[blazing lichen]

games only came out 3 months ago lol

[runic perch]

I'm becoming more skeptic about this mod support that people brag about on their games, Starfield did the same thing and still hasn't gotten full mod support

[runic perch]

Feels like ages

[blazing lichen]

fr i really do hope it comes soon

[runic perch]

all I want is a cigarette to smoke while inspecting my gun

[blazing lichen]

i've been patiently waiting to redownload S2

[blazing lichen]

Based as hell lol

[runic perch]

https://tenor.com/view/mads-mikkelsen-smoking-gif-24232377

[rich gate]

has anyone watched that 80s STALKER film?

[runic perch]

no

[blazing lichen]

no but i should

[rich gate]

I am preaching Roadside Picnic to some random girls who like books and films, scifi kinda stuff

fun fact, I actually have that book myself

didn't finish it yet but a good book

very good book

funny im talking about books but not mods

I should probably change that

@blazing lichen any other freeplay mods you recommend my guy:?

[blazing lichen]

need to read the book and ill give it a pass since its inspiration for stalker and story mods like goldsphere and return to the zone by jekan

hmm only real freeplay mods i recommend and have played are call of the zone, teamlite and legends returns i havent played base CoC tbh

if you want more action global war is peak

[rich gate]

because I know I will get bored of Anomaly eventually

[blazing lichen]

its faction wars x100

[rich gate]

it seems fun but it seems very schizo

with the amount of factions lol

[blazing lichen]

its a little much imo haha

ive been considering trying call of misery

[rich gate]

me omw to play as bandits only happens to fight some faction nammed poopenfarten soldiers in Garbage

[blazing lichen]

this fight was wild

[rich gate]

ok, I got a final quest as Vova Vist

[blazing lichen]

bro teamlite is wild

[rich gate]

turn off miracle machine and brain scorcher

raid the CNPP

go to the wish granter

and wish for the zone to disappear

[blazing lichen]

BASED

[rich gate]

then I will try playing as the Sinners

in Anomaly, sure pretty bad choice

but theres a mod that "improves" them a little bit

still neutral to Monolith tho which sucks

but it makes them a bit more unique and makes them neutral to mutants like in LR

[blazing lichen]

its cool to try them out tbh and fr? ill have to try that mod

[rich gate]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/sin-upgrade-software-elixir-edition This is the mod I will run

its been built and upgraded upon this one

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/sin-upgrade-software

this one is very old

made in 2021

only updated same year and never agian

it is said to be made for Gamma specifically but it should also work on base anomaly, so we will see

[blazing lichen]

keep me posted i am curious

i still gotta do an anomaly run ngl

[rich gate]

I will keep you posted on Vovas journey for now

for now he will do some more jobs and artifact hunting to make enough money for him to gear up

[blazing lichen]

🫡 yeah keep me posted itll be interesting to see how the zone up north is for military tbh

[rich gate]

Bros gonna do what operators of Operation Monolith could not

with only him and 4 of his comrades

[blazing lichen]

[rich gate]

and hes finally gonna give this x-19 documents that Duty wanted so much

[blazing lichen]

🗣️

[rich gate]

I will upgrade the nosorog and pkm too at the engineer

I will go full out

[blazing lichen]

bro is about to be a force of nature lol

[rich gate]

this is what would of happened if Vova Vist was not ordered to guard the perimeter

Terrorist

[rich gate]

installed an addon that gives me exoskeleton sound effect when walking

to feel more badass

[rich gate]

Electric PKM...

sounds awesome

someone does not like me

[rich gate]

@blazing lichen Miracle machine time

[blazing lichen]

AYO

[blazing lichen]

[rich gate]

mission accomplished

[upbeat coral]

Cuz it is shit
As shrimple as that

Anyways
What type of mod are you looking for?
And what mods have you played before, if any at all?

[upbeat coral]

Thats me

[rich gate]

Not cool bro

Why you gotta cyberbully me

[upbeat coral]

Cuz you dont pay taxes

[rich gate]

Cat tax...

[snow walrus]

sorry for answering 1 hour late, im looking for something that keeps me hooked into the game

and i havent used any mods at all

im just finishing playing CoP as a first timer playing the trilogy (i finished soc and cs)

so i'm fine with history mods or ones that may tamper with the gameplay of the original trilogy

[upbeat coral]

So anything goes
Okay

For story mods I would recommend Valley of Whispers and Path in the Mist as they are rather simple and vanilla esque
But great nontheless

For freeplay Call of the Zone
Its not even a competition

If you want gameplay conversions then Sigerous Mod and AMK

[rich gate]

if STALKER mods were khaos demons, Anomaly would be Nurgle

[snow walrus]

Appreciate it lad, thanks

[rich gate]

MIDGET

[rich gate]

Time for the brainscorcher @blazing lichen

[rich gate]

So it begins

@upbeat coral how much do I owe you

[ebon tusk]

Your life

[rich gate]

Dear God...

made it to the lab x-19

[rich gate]

disabled

Rest in peace

[hot cape]

Forgive me Sir Vasim

[snow walrus]

anyone knows if AMK is compatible with 1.0006? (spanish localization)

[rich gate]

That is how many stickers

[upbeat coral]

Considering your dept and the average inflation rate while counting in the interest it will be somewhere around...

47 312 cats

[rich gate]

You cannot be serious

[upbeat coral]

I didnt make up those rules

[rich gate]

Sir

[upbeat coral]

Actually I did
But thats not important now

[rich gate]

Please calculate this again

[upbeat coral]

mkay

[rich gate]

It is not possible that I owe you over 47k cats

[upbeat coral]

4...
48 620

[upbeat coral]

You wanna recalculate again

[rich gate]

Is there an alternative to paying the cats?

[upbeat coral]

Stop posting that mod
And pay war reparations of 5 cats a day for duration of two weeks

Thats just 70 cats
Think thats managable

[rich gate]

I can do the second following sir

But not posting that mod...

That I cannot do.

[upbeat coral]

Well
Too bad
48 620 cats it is

[rich gate]

Sir.

[rich gate]

Perhaps there's another alternative

I am sure that you're fair and just, kot emperor

[upbeat coral]

You play Goldsphere (OGSE version) from start to finish and post pictures from it instead of pictures from that mod

[rich gate]

Will I get that mod picture immunity after that

@upbeat coral

Otherwise I'll just stick to 3 cats each picture

[upbeat coral]

Never!

Especially not when using that disgusting UI

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

:3

[rich gate]

I'm sorry but I like that UI

[rich gate]

I apologize, but I'm afraid I do not agree to your ultimatum.

I shall evade cat taxes further

[upbeat coral]

At this rate its gonna be 105 291 cats by end of march

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

[rich gate]

I will likely never paid that

Might as well get the cat internal revenue service

[rich gate]

Before I had to go do something I made it to the sarcophagus but very low on ammo

One of my comrades died in pripyat

After that vova Vist playthrough I will do sinner

Then I'll try teamlite

Heard good stuff

[blazing lichen]

Based as hell

Pripyat also is always so wild lol

I'm excited to see prip in teamlite

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

[rich gate]

@blazing lichen

and so this is the end of Vova's journey

[blazing lichen]

[rich gate]

also tested that sin addon

[blazing lichen]

Vova a king and how was the addon?

[rich gate]

doesnt work as intended, mutants still attack me but are confused

[blazing lichen]

💀

[rich gate]

I will try the older one

[rich gate]

actually I think I got it working this time

@blazing lichen naaaah 💀

[blazing lichen]

AYO never see this before

[rich gate]

its from that addon

holy crap

I am absolutely crapfaced now

lol

[blazing lichen]

At first thought it was the potion from the soup mods haha

[rich gate]

Fren 🙂

yeah nvm this addon weird

imma try the old one

[blazing lichen]

What about it is weird?

[idle matrix]

was makin pretty good progress in this mod, ctd on meeting doctor in agroprom underground lol

guess ill try it again later

idk why soc mods always want to crash in agroprom for me

[tawdry valve]

Can someone name a actually unique quest from anomaly?

Cause playing RTTN i remember that one mission where a guy is asking for help stealing a cool remix from some bandits

[rich gate]

There is nothing unique, and I speak from experience

[rich gate]

Doesn't work as intended, it should be removing Mutant hunting quests but it doesn't

[rich gate]

I like the mod but the lack of random quests makes it boring

I think I'll try other freeplay mods like teamlite or IWP

[rich gate]

alright, IWP it is

[rich gate]

aw yeah

cheeki breeki time

[loud breach]

is that kar98?

[rich gate]

Mosin

Sultan just gave me this bad boy for killing the army in dark valley

[rich gate]

ok this is hella fun

loot!

a lot of stuff

[rich gate]

Bro wants a good place to sleep

[rich gate]

yeah I have a feeling I will be playing this for a loooooong time @blazing lichen

I missed the fun coc times

[upbeat coral]

Not a single one
Its all taken from other mods

[rich gate]

ok I do not regret playing IWP at all

this is fun

MOOOOOOOVE

@upbeat coral I feel generous, have a cat

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

Only 48 619 to go

[upbeat coral]

That happens in every CoC derivated mod

[rich gate]

ik

man I took the IWP pill

I dont think Ill be playing Anomaly for long

I found the cure for Anomaly

IWP + CoTZ

a damn beauty

I hope people will pay more attention to this mod, and add more addons to it

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

Ngl IWP is kinda lame

[rich gate]

I personally like it

[upbeat coral]

Eh
It feels generic
CoC with better guns

[rich gate]

its much better with cotz ngl

and with an engine like that, theres probably some good addon potentials

[upbeat coral]

Yeah the engine is good
But thats where positives end for me honestly

[rich gate]

I never had so much fun since first time playing CoC or that mod so

probably much better than both

well, not CoC

its litelally CoC

and the guy who added CoTZ mod for IWP, he is updating it and adding more things to it

[upbeat coral]

People when they play good mod for once and its good:

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

[rich gate]

Mosin

[upbeat coral]

I gotta admit
This is pretty kino

[rich gate]

Kino?

[upbeat coral]

He doesnt know

[rich gate]

Ik what Kino is

soviet band

[upbeat coral]

No

[rich gate]

but why did you compare it to that

[upbeat coral]

Not that Kino

[rich gate]

oh

[upbeat coral]

He doesnt know

[rich gate]

nvm

I do not know

[upbeat coral]

[rich gate]

please expain

[upbeat coral]

In stalker
Kino reffers to something soulful or good

[rich gate]

oh

lol

[upbeat coral]

Kino is also a slavic word for cinema

So..

[rich gate]

ik, I am Czech

[loud breach]

not just stalker

[rich gate]

His absolute Kino reaction

[upbeat coral]

Nobody says absolute kino...

Stop being weird

[rich gate]

Absolute cinema

[loud breach]

https://tenor.com/vhSqKZ8pIoL.gif

[rich gate]

Mosin Man

[loud breach]

mosin doesn't fit the interface

[rich gate]

yeah lol

its cursed

UI and icon addons be like

and ik why

its the silencer

[loud breach]

that's a silencer?

it looks like a toilet paper roll

[rich gate]

that is the silencer

[upbeat coral]

This happens a lot with modded silencers
They just stick out

[rich gate]

I remember how Sultan used to sit here all the time

that was funny

what I like about this mod is that I dont have to just look through the entire zone for tools for mechanics

you will get the location to find one

or at least the general area

Guess I am trafficking a Dutyer

[blazing lichen]

glad you're loving iwp cotz

[blazing lichen]

You made me reinstall iwp cotz lol

[rich gate]

why so?

[blazing lichen]

beacause anything with cotz is peak

[rich gate]

real

if only Anomaly had it

[blazing lichen]

cotz with PiP goes hard as hell

[blazing lichen]

apparently OWA devs are adding it soon

[rich gate]

oh that will be PEAK

if they will

the amount of quest variations with that addon is insane

[blazing lichen]

heard it in C-Con server but its a while off

[blazing lichen]

right? i love it

[rich gate]

it makes freeplay mods actually fun

I mean, Anomaly is fun imo

but not as good

cause the quests get too repetitivew

they are all the same

[blazing lichen]

im thankful Dr.X gave us peak before he died

[rich gate]

just different context

fr

[blazing lichen]

fr

[blazing lichen]

Ayo when you set up your load order did you do ui before or after cotz ?

[rich gate]

I did it before

because doing it after can crash the game

when asking for work

when adding other things that involve UI, do it before that UI mod

[blazing lichen]

perfect i did that aswell i cant read the language

[rich gate]

like tactical compass, THEN that ui

however

the only exception is that better icons addon

do it after that UI mod

otherwise it will get buggy

[blazing lichen]

ill keep that in mind

[rich gate]

when I did the opposite my outfit icon was not there

it was invisible

heheheheh, time to kidnap ye

idk why but I always liked a Mosin

its just a nice looking rifle

if only gun ownership was allowed in the UK

man IWP warfare mode would be cool @blazing lichen

[blazing lichen]

i love the mosin aswell i want one same with sks

[blazing lichen]

i'd like that alot

[rich gate]

Man Cotz makes the game feel alive though

[rich gate]

also how is the gun ownership in Canada? In the UK the gun ownership is nearly non existant, you cannot have one. But in Czech Republic its okay to conceal and carry one with license

Czechia is basically USA Europe edition

oh well, back to mods

[blazing lichen]

its pretty restrictive sadly im hoping future goverments roll back the laws

[rich gate]

ooph

I forgot I am not playing Anomaly

[blazing lichen]

that gets me aswell lol

[rich gate]

Finally got a complete mosin

uh oh

CROWS

EMISSION

were kinda squeezing in for cover

[blazing lichen]

Pip scopes are so funny for this

Yall packed tight for that emission

[blazing lichen]

I love they used this for standalone cotz aswell

[rich gate]

AAAAAAAA

Loadout @blazing lichen

[blazing lichen]

Solid loadout got something for all ranges

[rich gate]

meanwhile only use mosin for the most part lmao

my character name is solid lol

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

[upbeat coral]

ehhh
its gotten better but youre still playing CoC fork with bunch of extra guns so...

[rich gate]

dont care its fun

[upbeat coral]

ell everything is fun compared to that mod

especially when the tasks dont feel like they were made by lobotomized five year old

[wintry forge]

Are you playing a freeplay mod?

[rich gate]

yes

[wintry forge]

What is it?

[rich gate]

IWP + CoTZ

[wintry forge]

oh

good old CotZ

[blazing lichen]

Cotz is peak

[upbeat coral]

@wild rock going to warehouses for the first time
Im taking a PKM with 400 rounds of ammo (just to be sure)
and upgraded Saiga with 18 round mag and around 150 rounds of ammo (again, just to be sure)

[wild rock]

If It's on a mission with the scientists,you're good

however,If you're going to Lab X-11...make sure to be fully prepared like I was

[upbeat coral]

I went with scientists

Also
Is there even a way to save them?
They got shot from far away and I didnt have my SVD with me

So I couldnt fight back

[blazing lichen]

@rich gatedoing some testing of iwp spawning stuff in the PSO scope is THICC

[orchid berry]

@upbeat coral
Actually, is there some kind of updated mod chart?

Like, basically like those quiz charts, y'know?

[rich gate]

Yeah I figured that out when I got a VSS Vintorez

[upbeat coral]

Well C-Con mod spreadsheet got a huge overhaul not long ago

[orchid berry]

Which functions the same?

[upbeat coral]

Well it functions the same but it has more information now and is more cohesive

[orchid berry]

Based

Is it posted in here?

[upbeat coral]

I think so

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GgBFCRIbc7TQ5DwWHvWaridX1G64PYoWItkLyr3pBPk/htmlview

[rich gate]

@blazing lichen What the hell

Monolith at Garbage?

[upbeat coral]

Its not like they have something to defend at that point in time

[rich gate]

true, they got wrecked

a funny man with a funny hairline wrecked them

and a special agent

awaiting emission with bro

this Monolithian had a drippy colt

mihne now

Well met, Lukash

lmao I killed a Dutyer and as soon as that happened they declared cease-fire

they saw the wrath of John Cheeki Breeki

[rich gate]

Starved Musician

[wheat haven]

Good Lord it looks the same size as the entire gauss rifle barrel

[wheat haven]

What mod is that? Looks like EFP I guess

[rich gate]

not at all

its CoC IWP

• CotZ

I am addicted to it

screw Anomaly if this mod exists

Anomaly still pretty good imo but IWP is much better

[wheat haven]

While I'm fine with the Legend Returns by now, enjoying it

[rich gate]

Legend returns is also quite peak

I should finish this sinner quest

[wheat haven]

And Slimes seems to be... not that bad of a bunch

Like their description and what's their opinion on things is sorta different

They're more of a morally grey rathen than black

This cursed, a Bandit in a trenchcoat leading a squad full of Freedom and a couple of bandit stragglers

Out of all of them, only this guy survived.

The Zone is a harsh place

nvm hes also dead, zombie got him

[wheat haven]

He just realised that people can die in the Zone or what?

😆

[rich gate]

He was just lucky

well, until a zombie got him from behind

also, my loadout so far

uh oh

[rich gate]

my companion has got a buttload of loot

I will make him disappear when were alone

[blazing lichen]

bro is a one man army haha

what is this ??@rich gate

[blazing lichen]

bro had an anomolus backpack to hold all those guns lol

and thank you

[rich gate]

his backpacks a bloody mystery lol

I think im gonna do a monolith playthrough next

[blazing lichen]

i actually just debug tested the MDR with an ACOG as monolith i gotta get used to the recoil on these PiP

im tempted to do a freedom run as i never play as them

[rich gate]

I am either thinking to do ecologist or monolith playthrough

[blazing lichen]

id say monolith imo

[rich gate]

Monolith it is then

[upbeat coral]

dont all the factions play the same anyways?

[rich gate]

with CoTz, maybe idk

[blazing lichen]

Not all no

Idk how monolith will be like in iwp

[upbeat coral]

only exception I can think of is Sin in Legend Returns

otherwise it all plays like Loner

[blazing lichen]

In regular cotz for example I think there's like 3-4 factions where you infiltrate the monolith to turn off the scorcher but the rest you storm it

I know for sure clear sky and loner

[rich gate]

itd be cool if there was like a story line to conquer the zone as monolith

like, assault army warehouses

[blazing lichen]

I agree tbh

I'd like them to be more then just a shoot everyone faction would be cool to bring "peace" to the zone

Could get interesting like legends return sin

[rich gate]

indeed

[upbeat coral]

sure would be cool if freeplay mods didnt have every faction as literal goons

what can you do...

[blazing lichen]

ONG

I wish cooler mods then that mod were more popular tbh like teamlite and legends return

[rich gate]

does teamlite have like

faction stories?

[blazing lichen]

I believe so yes

It's also got scripted quests aswell

from its moddb page "Quests from MLR, LTTZ, AH, and many more"

its token system is cool aswell

[upbeat coral]

LTTZ

[blazing lichen]

id rather DocX quests but atleast theres a bunch of other quests

[rich gate]

having monolith hostile against zombified is cursed af

[blazing lichen]

fr seems weird as hell lol

doesnt even make sense

[rich gate]

I wonder if theres a way to fix it

[blazing lichen]

maybe in the config files

[wheat haven]

It feels like Stalker x EFT ngl

[blazing lichen]

It deff feels different ngl I'm more of an og trilogy/ old CoC feel kinda enjoyer more then the more modern stuff

But I figured I love cotz so I have to compare it and see how it holds up vs Docs standalone work

[rich gate]

ok I think I fixed it

nvm

[rich gate]

finally made it work

I am clever

@blazing lichen

[upbeat coral]

geez that hud is an abomination

[blazing lichen]

Did you ally them ?

[upbeat coral]

slap BHS, mana bar and speedometer there and it will be perfect

[rich gate]

I made them neutral

Kot Emperor trying not to hate anything challenge (Impossible)

[upbeat coral]

[upbeat coral]

Omg

[rich gate]

I think I will play Anomaly again

@blazing lichen yknow what would be complete? That hideout furniture mod from Anomaly, I wanna build my own crib somewhere

[upbeat coral]

out of the 37 mods I played, 25 have seal of approval

Im not a hater

anyways
what should I take with me to the lab when the time comes?
I got AKM with some upgrades and 450 ish round of ammo (270 being AP)
Vintorez with full accuracy upgrade and extended mag with around 200 rounds
Saiga with some upgrades and roughly 200 rounds (150 being buckshot)
SVD with accuracy upgrades and around 50 rounds of ammo
PKM with no upgrades and 450 rounds of ammo

I can only carry 2 maybe 3 guns

@blazing lichen help

[blazing lichen]

i'd take the AKM and saiga

[upbeat coral]

thats what Im using even now
but Im not sure how good the Saiga will be in the lab

[blazing lichen]

i know in cotz for example buckshot puts in solid work but you could swap the saiga for PKM

[upbeat coral]

yeah
that will probably be the best

dang
Found a PKP
Lets see if I have a spare repair kit

22 doses of morphine should be more than enough to help me carry everything to Red Forest

[wild rock]

Yeah It will be

[wild rock]

You're more ready for lab X-11.Make sure to bring 2 containers with electro artifacts

[upbeat coral]

._.

fuuuuuuuuuсk

[wild rock]

Once you enter X-11,your high-pen ammo will be enough

[upbeat coral]

are there any electrical anomalous fields in warehouses?

[wild rock]

I'm sorry to hear that.Luckily only the entrance of the lab will require decoding.After that you should be good

[upbeat coral]

also is Zaton like fully optional?

[wild rock]

Uhhh....idk.

[upbeat coral]

damn

[wild rock]

You'll unlock Zaton after completing X-11(aka the quest)

Zaton will then be free to roam

[upbeat coral]

so its a bonus area?

also I hate that you cantt drag bodies
I wanted to give Koumiss a proper burial in form of dragging him to one of those crosses

[wild rock]

Yes,and you'll unlock free roam for all the locations before going to Cordon to finish the story and end the mod

Koumiss was a real homie.He never betrayed you and sacrificed himself to give you and Brooker a chance to run

[upbeat coral]

Koumiss sure is Slava Engine of this mod

wait
will the decoding work with Spring?

cuz I got one with me RN
and another one on belt that I probably wont need after the lab

@wild rock

[wild rock]

is Spring an electric artifacts ?

[upbeat coral]

yes

and according to description its hybrid of shell and battery

fighting monolithians while high on morphine goes surprisingly well

also this is probably the only mod where I see better at night with NVGs

[upbeat coral]

decoder wont eat Springs

so I used the spawn menu, not gonna run 4 maps back now

[upbeat coral]

shit its Altruist

from Dollchan 7

so peak

[upbeat coral]

stupid mod
this is already like 60th crash after the lab

cant get to Cordon

its joever

also Zaton is hella ugly

[wicked coyote]

guys shoild i go straight to GAMMA since stalker 2 wont work on my pc i beat SOC on master 2 times and COP on veteran once

or EFP

[upbeat coral]

neither

[wicked coyote]

i want less survival

[upbeat coral]

both are complete and utter dogshit

:3

play Clear Sky

[blazing lichen]

play call of the zone, teamlite, legends return for freeplay or the huge amount of story mods

[upbeat coral]

CLEAR SKY CLEAR SKY CLEAR SKY

[blazing lichen]

or clear sky

[blazing lichen]

the best stalker game

[blazing lichen]

🗣️YES

[blazing lichen]

Honestly gamma is full of artifical difficulty that makes no sense lol

dumb gun ban, soaked underwear and they got rid of porn mags in the zone lol

[upbeat coral]

I dont see why so many people still view gamma and EFP as these "ultimate" mods

its just stolen garbage built on stolen garbage built on stolen garbage built on garbage port of garbage to decent mod

[blazing lichen]

fr doesnt even run that well lol

they just follow youtubers

[upbeat coral]

its cuz Monoshit engine is..
well

shit

[blazing lichen]

fr

[upbeat coral]

its one of options in Dollchans engine switcher so I fiddled with it a bit and...

[blazing lichen]

im glad i got gamma and efp out of my system and moved on to peak mods

[upbeat coral]

all the engines (all are 64 bits btw) take 2GB ram at Garbage

monoshit takes 3.5

nearly double
FOR NO REASON AT ALL

[blazing lichen]

bro.. 💀

also gamma is so bloated file size

[upbeat coral]

80GB

no wonder when they dont overwrite files

[blazing lichen]

OP2 is big but you have at minimum 500-1000 hours of content

[upbeat coral]

and BAS alone is like 10GB

[blazing lichen]

💀

[upbeat coral]

lets play a game
How many goldspheres can you fit inside BAS filesize

drumroll please

1.25

[blazing lichen]

jeez lol

[upbeat coral]

a mod that takes 70 hours on full playthrough

is smaller than gunporn shitpack

[blazing lichen]

call of the zone with like 5 mods is only 9.11 GB

[upbeat coral]

yeah
CoC itself is around 8GB

and CotZ overwrites files rather than add them

[blazing lichen]

doc was based

[upbeat coral]

real

[blazing lichen]

i wish more folks knew the cooler freeplay and story mods

[upbeat coral]

[blazing lichen]

[upbeat coral]

I wish more youtubers would not talk about stalker when they clearly dont know jackshit about stalker or its mods

[blazing lichen]

fr they do such a disservice to the franchise

remember when a youtuber said hey get ready for stalker 2 by playing 2 out of the 3 trilogy games and instead of clear sky play anomaly and true stalker mods lol

[upbeat coral]

anyways
have you played Sins of the Legend?

its like 2 hour story mod

pretty good one too

[blazing lichen]

no but if you recommend it ill play it

[upbeat coral]

and just in case
you can fit in BAS filesize three times

[blazing lichen]

💀

[upbeat coral]

its pretty good

[blazing lichen]

downloading rn

[upbeat coral]

takes place in Lost Alpha version of retail Yantar

[blazing lichen]

AYO

[upbeat coral]

and writing is pretty good for being the authors first mod that was made in 2 weeks with no experience

[blazing lichen]

fr? that's impressive work

[upbeat coral]

yes

it was done for Ap-Pros yearly modding competition

won Honorable Mention

also last year the author released his second mod, for the same competition again

its also pretty good

mainly the final boss
I liked it

[blazing lichen]

i'll have to grab that aswell i love a good story tbh

freeplay is ok but can feel like a chore at times

[wild yacht]

Milsim YouTubers try not to say Anomaly/Gamma is the “true Stalker experience” challenge (Impossible)

[blazing lichen]

fr lol

[upbeat coral]

still better than digging story mods from their graves to lie about them

[blazing lichen]

also a fair point

[loud breach]

I lobe Anomoly

[blazing lichen]

😡

[upbeat coral]

dang

looks like the video got taken down

finally

[loud breach]

lobe + Anomoly = Lobotomy

[blazing lichen]

Ayo whats up with IWP NPCs lol i murdered all of these to see how they react to friendly fire and they do not care at all compared to the old cotz where they'd fight back

[wicked coyote]

so should i just never play stalker 2

and play mods or clear sky

i saw stalker 2 trailer and they look too modern FPS

[wicked coyote]

Oh well might as well play the quiet brother in the room the metro and then grind modded stalker

🙏🙏🙏

[upbeat coral]

just wait till its gets fixed

finish the trilogy in the meantime

and then you can play all those hundereds of mods out there

[wicked coyote]

game looks too modern fps like even if it gets fixed

[upbeat coral]

actually good mods I mean, not just Anomaly and its forks that idiots who never played stalker gloss over

[wicked coyote]

should i start with radiophobia 3 then EFP or GAMMA

[upbeat coral]

neither of those is any good

[wicked coyote]

lost alpha?

[upbeat coral]

Anomaly (and by extension nearly every modpack built around it) is uninspired boring mess with no real gameplay

[upbeat coral]

thats alot better already
to this day it has some of the best modded maps

[wicked coyote]

whats about evolution?

[upbeat coral]

you mean OGSE?

anyways
these are the modds I would recommend

Wind of Time
Goldsphere
Spatial Anomaly
Return to the Zone
Vector of Alienation
Secrets of Cordon
Valley of Whispers
Road to the North
Incubator
Dreamcatcher
Sins of the Legend
Messenger
Bad Company Remaster
Bad Company 2
Path in the Mist
The Exception
Calm after the Storm
Sins of the Scholar
Game of Souls: Beginning
Game of Souls: Excelsior
Creature in the Mist
Borland's Story

[wicked coyote]

i dont think so it was some standalone mod built in some engine

that revamps the game

[upbeat coral]

also True Stalker, which isnt really good but it sure is technically impressive
it just didnt live up to its hype
kinda like Lost Alpha

[upbeat coral]

tons of mods like that

[wicked coyote]

its a standalone soc game remake

[blazing lichen]

the modscene is vast and rich anomaly and its modpacks are bottom barrel content

[upbeat coral]

well that could be OGSE, OGSR, OLR, Radiophobia...

[upbeat coral]

Im gonna use from Anomaly server for that extra spice

[blazing lichen]

[wicked coyote]

also why not just play radiophobia

[blazing lichen]

some of my mods i also got return of scar and for greater good

[blazing lichen]

prospectors project is better

[upbeat coral]

its one of those mods that go mainly for gunplay and graphics, souless and boring

[wicked coyote]

there are too many mods to play

[upbeat coral]

yes

yet not enough at the same time

[blazing lichen]

fr fr

[upbeat coral]

anyways
here are some spreadsheets
first is C-Con, managed by the largest EN Stalker translators group

Second is my own, with thoughts on mods I finished

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GgBFCRIbc7TQ5DwWHvWaridX1G64PYoWItkLyr3pBPk/edit?gid=0#gid=0

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1o996FD2lx1rlHUwY9fmaFo-g_fE9uXPmrx_PoaXsI3Y/edit?pli=1&gid=0#gid=0

[wicked coyote]

is this morse code?>

[upbeat coral]

nah
its Caesars Cypher

[wicked coyote]

should i just play radiophobia for my first mod

[blazing lichen]

what kind of experience are you looking for ?

[wicked coyote]

not some random mod named "ultra stalker in lost of pripyat"

[upbeat coral]

no

please god no

[blazing lichen]

i uninstalled radiophobia tbh

[wicked coyote]

then what mods do i play if there are too many

[blazing lichen]

again what are you looking for

story? freeplay? etc

[upbeat coral]

Depends on what you want from the mod

[wicked coyote]

what would radiophobia look for

[upbeat coral]

If you want SoC but different to experience Deja Vu while playing, try Oblivion Lost Remake or Vector of Alienation

If you want to endlessly roam the Zone, play Call of the Zone

If you want modern high production value mod, then True Stalker

[wicked coyote]

idk is there a mod where you can play as Ukranian Military

or monolith

[upbeat coral]

And if you want large maps with ton of guns and artifacts, The Exception

[upbeat coral]

Let me thing real quick

Uhh
In Wind of Time you play as military man
Same with Secrets of Cordon
And few chapters in True Stalker

And for Monolith..
Winter Sniper
But that one is pretty short

And of course, any freeplay mod really, but in those every faction ends up playing identical to Loners so

[civic pewter]

Escape From The Zone is a good choice

[upbeat coral]

Too bad theres no proper translation

[civic pewter]

f

[upbeat coral]

I want to play the peak
But I cant

[wicked coyote]

there are 10000000 mods so i dont have any choices without suffering a brain seizure

too many choices now

[upbeat coral]

Just take my recimmendations and put them in that funny lottery wheel

It will pick for you

[wicked coyote]

so never play radiophobia or efp?

[upbeat coral]

Thats what I do when I cant decide
And I usually switch it later cuz I put abysmal dogshit in the picker

[upbeat coral]

Nah
Its soulless gun simulators that kinda lose the entire point of stalker

[wicked coyote]

or is it survival simulators?

[upbeat coral]

Heck EFP is literally all about turning the game into another game
Not that Anomaly which its built on is stalker anyways

[wicked coyote]

arent all of them just survival simulators besides radiophobia

[upbeat coral]

Not even survival, none of them are hard, just boring, tedious and unfair

They want to be difficult on surface but due to being poorly made they end up being easily exploitable

You would be surprised how many of those deathless gamma runs were actually deathless
Maybe like three

[wicked coyote]

so avoid stalker 2 gamma efp radiophobia and just play every other mods

[upbeat coral]

Just avoid mods that have youtube videos about them named "immersive FREE game doesnt fake survival new graphics bla blah..." that sort of stuff

Only channel that showcases good mods that I cant think of is Floki

[wicked coyote]

so what mod do i start with

[upbeat coral]

Again
That depends what you are looking for

Here are mod where you can play as either monolithian or military man
#🔩┃trilogy_modifications message

[blazing lichen]

just gotta pick something lol

[upbeat coral]

But honestly I would start with something simpler
Maybe Valley of Whispers, pretty vanilla esque mod with great map

[blazing lichen]

efp is just a retarded tarkov knockoff

[upbeat coral]

Or Path in the Mist, to this day one of best mods, also has great maps

[blazing lichen]

@upbeat coral he should play prospectors project

[wicked coyote]

also i should skip anomaly?

[upbeat coral]

Or if you want to experience the old Stalker how it was intended at first, try Oblivion Lost Remake or Vector of Alienation

[upbeat coral]

Yes

I cant emphasise enough how dogshit that mod is

[blazing lichen]

yes call of the zone, IWP, legends return, road to the north, teamlite are so much better mods

[upbeat coral]

Actually
I can
But it would be three page long rant

Not that it happened before of course

[blazing lichen]

anomaly is very empty

[blazing lichen]

🗣️

[upbeat coral]

Empty and uninspired
Rotten to the very core, everything is slow and boring
And its the only mod where doublebarrels dont feel fun
Like how
How is that possible

[blazing lichen]

right?

they feel meaty af in lr and tl

[upbeat coral]

Its played by people who dont know any better

[wicked coyote]

i am still thinkinmg of doing radiophobia because it seems like a better choice than tarkov mods like efp and gamma

[upbeat coral]

I bullied bunch of people into playing story mods and they havent touched Anomaly since then

[blazing lichen]

i cant go back to anomaly after playing peak

[upbeat coral]

It is better by far but its also rather empty and there are much much better conversions for SoC
But then again, choice is yours

Anyways
Its like 4am here
So if you got any more questions ask now

[blazing lichen]

the menace in me wants to suggest op2.2 but he aint ready yet

[wicked coyote]

so just play soc and cop mods

[blazing lichen]

alot are standalone mods

[upbeat coral]

Well theres no other choice
Clear Sky modding scene is borderline nonexistent

But first I would play vanilla Clear Sky

[wicked coyote]

also is stalker 2 a bad idea to play

[upbeat coral]

At this point
Yes
In the future
Who knows

[wicked coyote]

it looks like cod

[blazing lichen]

who cares about graphics lol

[loud breach]

bruh go play clear sky first

[upbeat coral]

Well all modern shooters do
CoD redefined the genre wheter you like it or not

[blazing lichen]

why would you even play gamma since it looks like a modern shooter

or efp

lol

[wicked coyote]

do i need 100000 mods to make it run fine

[upbeat coral]

No

[blazing lichen]

no

[upbeat coral]

And whoever told you is honest to god imbecile

[blazing lichen]

retarded*

[upbeat coral]

No Im not

[blazing lichen]

not you

[upbeat coral]

Oh

Okay

[blazing lichen]

whoever said clear sky is unplayable without mods

[wicked coyote]

what mod do i need to make clear sky normal

[blazing lichen]

none

[wicked coyote]

also i probably will never play stalker 2

[blazing lichen]

you're a based king 👑

[upbeat coral]

Thats the kind of people who had their brain eating amoeba die of starvation

[blazing lichen]

ONG

[wicked coyote]

guys should i never touch stalker 2

[blazing lichen]

thats up to you man im gonna play it

[loud breach]

can you make one decision without asking

[upbeat coral]

Clear Sky is perfectly fine out of the box
People who say otherwise clearly never played the game unmodded and just repeat whatever excuse they hear in their little bubble

[blazing lichen]

^^^^ most just parrot CS hate

[upbeat coral]

And them theres NozAr
Who hates every game equally

[wicked coyote]

how easy it is to break the economy and get rich and have endgame gear fast

[upbeat coral]

You cant really break the economy
But you can get decent gear if youre willing to hunt artifacts a lot

On my last run I had good gear pretty quickly

[wicked coyote]

in cop you can smash the economy too fast

they make getting op too easy

nimble exoskeleton

he selss special vintar

terminator

[upbeat coral]

Only advice I can give is not to upgrade low tier guns like AK-74 and TRs-301 cuz its not worth it

[wicked coyote]

exploit emissions and artifacts

in cop

you have endgame gear way too early

[upbeat coral]

Upgrade SGI or AC-96/2
Go for accuracy upgrades and you good

[loud breach]

maybe don't exploit the game then

[upbeat coral]

Yeah
One of many reasons why CoP is the worst game of the trilogy

[wicked coyote]

how

[wicked coyote]

but its hard not to you automatically grind

[wicked coyote]

grouse lore goes hard though

[upbeat coral]

Its stupidly easy, has lackluster Alife, dead and barrem maps, broken economy etc

[loud breach]

guys how do I stop grinding, the game is broken waah

[wicked coyote]

zaton is the worst map i cna agreee

pripyat was also ass

in cop

compared to soc

no monolith snipers just emptiness

[blazing lichen]

awful take

[civic pewter]

No side-quest in Pripyat

[upbeat coral]

All the maps are ass
Except for X-8

[blazing lichen]

zanton is peak

[wicked coyote]

area around jupiter is better

[upbeat coral]

And X-8 is only good cuz its semi bildo

[loud breach]

dildo

[upbeat coral]

Silly you
The tools for technicians sidequest takes place there

:3

[blazing lichen]

yanov?

[loud breach]

but you only need one set of expert tools

[upbeat coral]

Yes

[wicked coyote]

thats only the station

[upbeat coral]

Anyways
Good night guys
And dont forget to Kotsmaxx

[blazing lichen]

goodnight kot king

[upbeat coral]

Me rn

[upbeat coral]

Omg
Cat

[blazing lichen]

me soon

[rich gate]

And I am awake.

[wicked coyote]

Also is stalker mobile edition a good idea 👍

[blazing lichen]

What's that ?

[blazing lichen]

Morning

[rich gate]

That exists?

[wicked coyote]

Basically stolen assets fitted into stalker soc mobile with low quality by some random group on yt

Some Russians did this port ☠️

[blazing lichen]

Ngl I'd try it if I could haha

[wicked coyote]

Search their yt then

[blazing lichen]

I'll take a peak it feels cursed

[wheat haven]

Nothing to be surprised of

[wicked coyote]

Let's make stalker call of Moscow mod

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[wheat haven]

Well there's a game called Metro 2033 so...

[wicked coyote]

NO NO NO DONT REPEAT THAT WORDS

https://youtu.be/Vl2GOz1c-1s?si=_jmmaVJgegEG27E0 mf they ported apogrom to mobile full textures

[wheat haven]

Agroprom (agrarnaya promyshlennost')
Which means "agrarian industry" in russian

[wicked coyote]

Nah they even have a vk group ☠️https://m.vk.com/mobile.stalker

[wheat haven]

Which in Stalker lore used to be a covert research institute
