however, I throw away shottys later and move to SMGs anyway

[amber spade]

the armsel is serving good for me at least

[olive spire]

i have these two

[tiny stirrup]

"I heard some melee up by the northern checkpoint" fucking how bro

[amber spade]

it is suprisingly effective

[orchid kiln]

yeah, I'm definitely giving it a chance if I find it

[copper ledge]

First type D gun boys, now I gott craft .308

[tiny moon]

anyone?

[orchid kiln]

been hearing good things

[tardy mantle]

yo, does anyone know how to enable realistic magazines? Mine keeps crashing 🙁

[fast pumice]

Jellyfish can be found in gravity anomalies, and meat chunks can be found in acid anomalies.

[orchid kiln]

california ass rifle

[fast pumice]

Souls can be found just about everywhere apparently.

[tough lion]

Don’t you diss the EBR

[amber spade]

i find it more on the south, believe it or not

[olive spire]

i have the jellyfish one, im going to use it

[tiny stirrup]

was literally just me finishing off a bandit and a motherfucker by the FARM heard that, and not the fully automatic gunfire coming from them

[copper ledge]

Im pretty sure a semi auto rifle with an LPVO a supressor and 20 rounds of .308 is illegal in cali

[amber spade]

ohw the m1a? too bad it isn't the og bodykit

[orchid kiln]

yeah its on the bandit drop table iirc

[amber spade]

well, it consumes ammo QUITE FAST, for a very slow realod, which is tolerable, since it sounds nice.

[orchid kiln]

I meant the buttstock and the handle, but yeah 308 is an ATF raid waiting to happen

[copper ledge]

What the chin rest lmao

Whats the meta ammo to be buying to dissemble to make .308

[olive spire]

how do I make the artifact to have infinite durability?

[fast pumice]

Artifacts are a pretty big boost to your protection.

[solid ibex]

ty it works now

[orchid kiln]

crimes against humanity

[solid ibex]

that is disgusting

[copper ledge]

California compliant guns are barely even guns atp

[tough lion]

? They don’t degrade besides perk artifacts. To get it to 100% craft one with perfect materials or artifact melter

[amber spade]

they don't degrade like perk artis does, you need to just repair artifacts to full condition

[tiny moon]

this should be able to carry me through the whole game right?
yes im gonna get some artifacts i just need some mutant parts to craft them and i am repairing a better armor

[copper ledge]

California has some of the most useless ass gun laws

[fast pumice]

Regular artifact durability never decreases, but you can fuse two of the same one together with the artifact melter you can get from Ecologist merchants to increase the amount of stats they offer until they reach 98% efficiency.

[amber spade]

get more rads res

[tough lion]

Pretty much tho I’d get a sniper rifle to punch through exos

[copper ledge]

DAMN .308 is cheaper to make then I remembered

[amber spade]

something akin if not better than this

[tiny stirrup]

should i change my eotech sight out for an okp-7 or an ekp 8-18 sight instead

[orchid kiln]

yeah, whenever I see a gun where the pistol grip and stock are fused, I think californication

[tough lion]

What even is .308 balanced as

[tiny stirrup]

eotech is kind of fuckhuge

[amber spade]

556 but better, lmao

[tough lion]

I might change all my M1A and EBRs to it to differentiate it from other 20 round 7.62

[fast pumice]

SEVA Suits my beloved.

[tiny moon]

yeah i just wouldnt have anything to deal with mutants

[copper ledge]

same ballistics as 5.56 but with significantly more ap and damage

[amber spade]

*armored seva 17%balistic res88

[orchid kiln]

I'd put the p90 in the pistol slot and get a propah rifle, unless you don't have a c kit yet

[amber spade]

we using the m1911 as a pistol

[hollow pollen]

A Makarov can carry you through the whole game, but there are better things out there

[tough lion]

Wdym? You wouldn’t replace it with the KS23, I’d just be in your inventory

[fast pumice]

ISG SEVA gets 20% lmao after the first upgrade.

[amber spade]

since the early game. i will raid the cnpp with this shit

[amber spade]

let me send a pic here once i got into my stash

[tiny moon]

i am also repairing a p90 so i will have a it on my pistol slot too

[orchid kiln]

kind of redundant with the p90, no? 5.7 is not serving you against heavy armor stalkers

[paper ruin]

and then get 1 tapped by the gauss rifle

[tough lion]

But lower than nato ball?

[copper ledge]

.308 is nato ball

[tiny moon]

yes i mean i could go around with an sa-58, gauss rifle and exo but its hard to get

[fast pumice]

My old ISG SEVA is in my stash too, but I'm in Darkscape rn.

[copper ledge]

.308 = 7.62x51 for the uninformed

[hollow pollen]

Raid the Red Forest SIN base. Tbh, I've always gotten a Vyraj Power Armor through that, hopefully you do too

[amber spade]

literal full auto blinky for; "oh shit" kinda of moment

[orchid kiln]

sa58 drops like candy from monolithians and mercs, gauss you get through the story, and exo are easy to find after 15 levels of scav

[fast pumice]

I've found two ISG SEVA suits in stashes this run.

[orchid kiln]

they are not hard at all to find, just consult the db

[amber spade]

i am NOT using the p90 as a main sized gun for actual assaults

[paper ruin]

308 winchester?

[copper ledge]

.308 nato

[paper ruin]

oh

the most problem here is the expert tools

[lofty sequoia]

[timber oak]

Ugh..

[orchid kiln]

what's your main rifle?

[timber oak]

hey man is RE:D working for you?
No?

[tiny moon]

yk, i never even considering carrying 4 guns

[queen grove]

which storage container has the highest capacity?

[tough lion]

I was imagining you were meaning .308 Winchester

[tiny moon]

i do have a pristine vssk

[timber oak]

large metal container

[orchid kiln]

50% in outskirts, get 4 yellows in it, and thats a 94% of them have it

[remote fossil]

you can still make a Heavy Armor Repair kit by sacrificing some sets of Advanced Tools. that recipe only needs Adv Tools to make

[timber oak]

although if oyu ahve that much shit, good luck moving around.
You have ot hire a moving company to drag that thing around with you.

[lofty sequoia]

I don’t know lol my audio has been broken for 2 days and I haven’t been able to get any progress in fixing it.

[tough lion]

Talking bout 7.62 as .308 bro we aren’t ammo nerding rn

[timber oak]

500kgs

[royal girder]

Just leave it

[timber oak]

that// sucks

[orchid kiln]

exo needs expert tools

[tiny moon]

yeah i just need to get there first

[orchid kiln]

don't worry, you'll get there

[amber spade]

i would say the RPK i found when i had to self defend myself against the entire bandit base, now i am trying to make more 556 ammo for my g36 to raid the bs

[remote fossil]

yep thats right. i was referring to the image that they sent wearing only Medium armor

[lofty sequoia]

Been asking around and not getting any responses on it, reinstalled all my audio mods and still broken so might just set down gamma until next month

[copper ledge]

teehee

[orchid kiln]

then, youll enjoy outskirts hospitality, 6 chimeras jerking each other off at the school yard

[timber oak]

got in contact with someone who knows shit good id say .

[hollow pollen]

nice name

[copper ledge]

I am so horny rn to be using .308 before doing literally anything after unlocking the north half of the map

[lofty sequoia]

What?

[orchid kiln]

RPK carries hard, especially the modernized version with picatinny

[amber spade]

not enough 762 ammo

[remote fossil]

if the large metal container is too big, you can craft the blue metal box (12 scrap and 12 wood) and it'll hold 400kg. it's got a fairly small object size

[amber spade]

the og rpk

[solid ibex]

why does the sky look like this, also, horrendous spawn, I spawned with INSTANT radiation poisoning

[amber spade]

limansk.

[orchid kiln]

it's still 7.62×39mm, no?

[copper ledge]

I exclusively use it for ranges long enough I cant see with my red dot on my thales. Its more then enough. I also can actually hit shots. 144 rounds is enough for now

[queen valley]

!noscope

[hearty saffron]

@queen valley To fix missing scope reticles with 3DSS enabled:

1. Go to Settings -> Modded Exes > Visual > Shader Scopes, make sure 3DSS is on
2. Go to Settings -> Visual -> Advanced, make sure AA and SMAA are off
3. Restart the game

[hollow pollen]

Is level 30 the max level for skills?

[timber oak]

uh.. ask help from other modders or smth

[timber oak]

modifiable but yes.
i set it to 69 :3c

[amber spade]

ye.

[hollow pollen]

Oh I understand what you meant now, I mean I have been asking in modding support, and the audio mods pages. Looking through the discord past messages and even checking moddb on incompatibilities but naw nothing came of it

[timber oak]

oh you mean

[hollow pollen]

ngl im not sad about that trade

[remote fossil]

have you been doing the quest No Step Back every time it spawns?

[tiny moon]

as a sniper should i use my svd or the vssk?

[hollow pollen]

nah

[empty iris]

svd vssk sucks ass

[amber spade]

no! i will use my polymer brick slop from the 90's WITH GRACE!

[hollow pollen]

what even is that quest and where can i get it

[copper ledge]

Ok this lack of accuracy is gonna rape my ass

[amber spade]

lukash

[copper ledge]

Shot at the exact same spot 4 times and none of them hit where I was aiming

[amber spade]

wording my guy. wording.

[amber spade]

what gun?

[fast pumice]

Mercs have an amazing defense quest in Limansk btw. Another reason I like to eventually ally with them.

[tiny moon]

can try to fix my rem700 mpro

[hollow pollen]

Is it the one where you bomb Military tanks?

[remote fossil]

it's a repeatable quest from Mercenaries where you fight many waves of Monolith in Limansk. be prepared for 30-40 monolith or so. I use the quest to level my scavenging and farm for the exo/arti recipes

[copper ledge]

M1A

[empty iris]

I meant use the SVD, the VSSK sucks ass

[tiny moon]

ah ok

[amber spade]

really? huh... how bad then.

[copper ledge]

Feels worse then my thales at range

[amber spade]

he gives you quests to fetch various firearms

[hollow pollen]

yeah, not friends with Mercs. I have my rep so low with them as loners, that even if I wanted to disguise and get good relations, I can't.
Plus, I kinda murdered the lot of them in Dead City.. now the place has a fitting name

[copper ledge]

I DO have a better 7.62x51 sniper but I do have to use a expert kit, but it might be worth it cause itll save ammo

[remote fossil]

i think you're the 3rd person i mentioned the quest to that has cleared out all of Dead City lmao

[hidden plank]

i laughed so much haha

[hollow pollen]

They have good shit OK?
Sadly, they didn't have the SCAR that I wnted

[amber spade]

she looks kinda appealing, y'all don'tcha think?

[timber oak]

eat sleep and drink something please

[amber spade]

too poor to afford water.

[royal girder]

Sell her

[timber oak]

its liek 1k roubles for a flask of water

[royal girder]

How many extra mods to get this look?

[remote fossil]

buy yourself a nice PU scope and youre good for a while

[lavish zinc]

598 atm

ooooh, by extra mods you mean UI?

[copper ledge]

Fuck it, later I'mma repair this other sniper

[dusky raptor]

how do you stop walking/running taking up so much stamina

[amber spade]

it's happening

[lavish zinc]

I'm using Stalker 2 icons without the PDA lines, Fatal Error and UI Rework from Sota's

[dusky raptor]

sometimes i can run for ages and sometimes i can't even walk without it draining my stamina and i have no idea why

[remote fossil]

it's probably because you are carrying too much weight

[lavish zinc]

but if you mean graphics, it's Atmospherics RC6 with Forester's LUT + Weather Expansion

[royal girder]

Check your weight bro

[dusky raptor]

dude im a fucking idiot how did i not notice this

[timber oak]

Weight, or you're under the effects of something giving yo uextra stamina, EX: Hurculies Epenephrine or purified foods.

[lavish zinc]

i'll go to Rostok right now, grab this scope and get the defend garbage mission

oh boy, this will be FUN

[amber spade]

false alarm lads, just a very good timed message

[lavish zinc]

not so much for the bandits tho

[remote fossil]

Duty should have the scope once inventory refreshes after 500 goodwill with them

[lavish zinc]

oooh, true

I forgor about that part

This save is very recent, 1st day in it

[royal girder]

If you're at cordon farm doesn't sid have the scope?

[lavish zinc]

huh, that's true

i'll check there, good call

[remote fossil]

yes, Loners also have the PU scope after 500 rep

[royal girder]

If it's your first day though it won't be refreshed.

[dusky raptor]

Does Mortal Sin just break if you execute chernobog

[remote fossil]

did you kill him in Deserted Hospital?

[empty iris]

YEP ITS WORKING

IT FUCKING WORKS LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[dusky raptor]

is there a fast travel dude in the loner town in cordon

[eternal nacelle]

Debating what gun to start with

[remote fossil]

nope. but you can use the fast travel system to go to places youve been before

[royal girder]

No. Closest guide is great swamps or just go to rostok by foot.

[eternal nacelle]

Uhh fuck it 1911

[dusky raptor]

i'm playing without the fast travel system

[royal girder]

You CAN use the TP fast travel, but depending on your settings it'll take time of the day + more money

[dusky raptor]

until i can't bear the backtracking anymore at least

[empty iris]

there's also a chance it'll crash your game

[dusky raptor]

ohhh cool

[tiny stirrup]

is he ok

did you finish Mortal Sin and get the achievement?

I'm still on Choice

[royal girder]

Ok but did you get ambushed by a black chimera as you were going out?

[pine plaza]

is there any way to stop enemies from shooting at me through 2 bushes?

[amber spade]

rate the brain scorcher type loadout, rq

[royal girder]

Skill issue or activate the foliage mod if you want but then NPCs are apparently kinda blind.

[remote fossil]

!foliage

[hearty saffron]

@pine plaza
So you want the NPCs to not see you through foliage anymore? Well, you're in luck.
They don't see you through bushes already.
There are now THREE ways to further circumvent the issue:

• You can learn how to properly position yourself, how to flank enemies or retreat so they lose track of you. Fight enemies dynamically and outsmart the AI, don't sit in a bush or walk into one thinking they will forget you. Get better at the game. Enemies react to to sound and hear bushes rustling. Avoid that.
• Download and enable this mod: https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/152dltx-smaller-bushes to, per se, level the playing field, making some locations feel incredibly empty, whilst keeping bushes about knee high.
  ||||

Type !ctrlm in https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1012510897136222293 if you're unsure how you're meant to install mods on your own.

• Enable the G.A.M.M.A. NPCs cannot see through foliage - Tosox Version mod under G.A.M.M.A. Fixes. But beware. It has technical issues; you can abuse the AI by sitting inside a now solid walls bush, and the weapon tilt cover will trigger on bushes. It is not advisable to enable the mod.
  ||Again, ||

[empty iris]

the wish granter is that platform in the middle of the room with chernobog with the glowing white floor panel?

[amber spade]

positioning yourself or activate a mod named; "enemies can't see thru bushes"

[pine plaza]

ty i will try that

[remote fossil]

but be warned...using the Foliage mod can make fighting a bit abusable

[tiny stirrup]

Saiga or Spas

[empty iris]

Wait is the Wish Granter in the sarcophagus?

[pine plaza]

issue is the fight is in swamps i only got a pistol so playing strategic can be quite time consuming

[remote fossil]

the Wish Granter is the big monolith crystal statue in the center of the power plant that talks to you

[empty iris]

So not this thing?

[remote fossil]

nope. that's just the place you fight Cherno

[empty iris]

Going to the wish granter won't fuck my save up right?

[remote fossil]

just save before you talk to the Wish Granter. i dont want to spoil anything if it's your first time

[tiny stirrup]

is the Shak12 good

[remote fossil]

or you have the choice to leave. it's up to you

[tiny stirrup]

It's a D weapon so I'm assuming it's at the very least an upgrade

[hidden plank]

how to cook?

[remote fossil]

a fair number of people like the Shak12 because it does a ton of damage. it has crazy recoil tho

[empty iris]

to counter the recoil fire in semi

[tiny stirrup]

Realized I don't have expert tools so it's a project for later

Now should I keep using my SPAS or swap to the Saiga I just found?

[empty iris]

Saiga, it's mag fed so faster reload and holds a similar amount of shells

[tiny stirrup]

worth it my guy did a stupid little giggle when he equipped the saiga

[remote fossil]

both are 250 rpm i think. main difference is teh Saiga is magazine fed

[royal girder]

Is it a 6 round Saiga or an 8 round Saiga?

[tiny stirrup]

6

[fallow mist]

Anyone know why everytime i stay in menus/go through a loading screen the dof comes back?

[royal girder]

L but it's still good enough to replace the SPAS

[royal girder]

Better accuracy and handling too and you can actually get scopes/sighs for the saiga.

[remote fossil]

to cook: if you are using a Field Cooking Kit, double click on it while near a campfire or with charcoal in your inventory. a menu should pop up where you can select recipes based on the items you have in your inventory. If you are using a Gas Stove, you can double click on it anywhere and use it as long as you have liquid fuel in your inventory. If you have built a furniture Stove, make sure to have the fuel and water/vodka inside the stove before using it.

[tiny stirrup]

I have a thermal one but uh... I think I'll pass on that for now lmao

[hidden plank]

ty

[cedar shell]

I think im gonna die from heartattack I just played the game for the first time and i was jumpscared like in no horror game before from random scavangers or smth and it scared the shit out of me it was fun tho

[tiny stirrup]

should i slap a kobra on there?

[royal girder]

Something like that put what you prefer for close range.
Or stick with the ironsights

[remote fossil]

save before you buy the Kobra. compare and see if you prefer the red dot or the iron sights

[empty iris]

Wish granter is in the sarcophagus, right?

is there like a door I'm supposed to open? I'm in the level with the chernobog fight, do I stay in that and look around or do I have to go to another level?

[royal girder]

idk bro

Maybe he came out of a portal or something?

[tiny stirrup]

also game-changer i did not know i could change the reticle

[remote fossil]

if you are looking for the Wish Granter, it's connected to the Sarcophogas

[empty iris]

THANK YOU

[royal girder]

Some sights change reticle, others have a "night vision" mode that's less or more lit up.

[empty iris]

I don't need an exact guide for where it is, just if I'm in the right general area and I'm currently not

[tiny stirrup]

I like the eotech I just wish it wasnt so blocky on my m4

been looking for you for a while gatekeeper, we need to talk

[royal girder]

Bro was dead.

[amber spade]

this shit really look like something you would see on a stalker pfp, nglk

[remote fossil]

you might like the Electro Sight (called AC10632). It's a clean red dot with no blockiness, very lightweight, very cheap, and fits the most weapons out of any sight in the game

[empty iris]

If you've played the og CoD MW2, the P1X42 is the red dot used in that game

[tiny stirrup]

I'll look around

[woeful pecan]

Getting instakilled by a Bloodsucker clipping through the floor is a joy

[amber spade]

well... here we are, let's finish this..

[empty iris]

AAAGH I FUCKING HATE POLTERGEISTS THEY MAKE YOUR SCREEN BORDERLINE IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE

[hidden plank]

so about the main questlines, i think i found 2 of them talking with Sid, where can i find the other 2?

[royal girder]

Just walk

[dusky raptor]

is crafting artefacts with the artefact melter a good way to make money

[royal girder]

Combining an artifact up to ~99 for a fetch quest certainly makes a lot of money

Around 90% of the actifact's "market value" that's shown when you hover over it

Best way to "sell" artifacts

You can also combine a lower tier and craft it into the higher tier you need for the quest if you have all the parts needed.

[dusky raptor]

right so if a dude asks for an artefact i should attempt to get it's quality / status up

[royal girder]

If you want the most money and have either time to artifact hunt or have a big stockpile.

And then you can use trash artifacts that have little to no effect and no transformation recipes to recharge your artifact melter

[royal girder]

And then they throw it back.

[empty iris]

oh my god these poltergeists are fucking crashing my game i think

[royal girder]

Like i said, just walk calmly

[empty iris]

i would like to move at a speed that isn't comparable to grandparents fucking

[paper pecan]

Can't throw back a m203/vog

[royal girder]

Well you'll do that when you dealt with the poltergeists

Slow and steady wins the race.

[bleak wedge]

yo guys, can i install more mods?

[empty iris]

time to wish for every wish in the wish granter

I should've expected that

[paper pecan]

You already installed 554 of them why wouldn't you be able to install more

[unique heath]

i already knew how the wish granter works, why the fuck did i not expect that to happen LMFAO

[royal girder]

Wish to control the zone 😉

He doesn’t know 💀 💀

[paper pecan]

Evil rock is evil more at 11

[blissful terrace]

how do you guys choose what guns to use i have so many unrepaired guns b ut not sure what i want to run with

[blissful terrace]

we call that meth

[empty iris]

whatever looks cool and fires a decent round

[paper pecan]

The one that looks cool

[bleak wedge]

wish to release the new stalker update and new patches (impossible)

[carmine tide]

I use whatever I like and that happens to be American made guns and the vss

[paper pecan]

Vss mentioned

[royal girder]

Good scopes/attachments. And also a good round and mag size but it depends on the type of gun TBH.

[empty iris]

oh. oh no

i see what it means by world peace

[paper pecan]

Monolith got what they wanted

[empty iris]

idfk what that option does, it just got rid of 2 of my followers

[paper pecan]

It deletes all npcs

[empty iris]

not that one, the mankind needs to be controlled

[paper pecan]

That one replaces all spawns with controllers

[gleaming robin]

Is gun cool? Is gun fun to shoot? - if both is yes then yes

[lavish zinc]

does anyone know what are the full default settings for ZCP balanced spawns?

[royal girder]

Check the nearest mutant populated area 🙂

[lavish zinc]

bot only gives me values

[empty iris]

are you fucking kidding me

this fucking rock has a sense of humor

[earnest coral]

https://tenor.com/view/aladdin-genie-thats-how-genie-magic-works-magic-will-smith-gif-25252385

monolith heavily reminds me of genie lore

[empty iris]

wait no that's fucking genius if that's intended

how do i do the spoiler thing

[earnest coral]

you use || ||

[stark kindle]

trying to get this stash, anyone knows where it is

[empty iris]

and how do i do that

[royal girder]

It's either in the chimney or in the furnace

[earnest coral]

wait im being dumb i need to think how to actually show it

[paper pecan]

In the movie it's shit like "I wish for my brother to come back to life" but the rock actually gives you a million dollars because that's what you actually wanted

[earnest coral]

[hearty saffron]

@stark kindle
An ongoing bug causes some stashes to spawn on random objects, anomalies or NPC's, resulting in the loss of any items they might've held.

To identify if the stash is indeed bugged you can do this:

1. Disable Areas above the PDA Map to remove white circles around locations
2. Right Click the stash marker on your PDA Map
3. Select Set Waypoint
4. Right Click the waypoint you just added
5. Select Waypoint Settings
6. Enable Show waypoints marker on HUD
7. Press OK
8. The on-screen waypoint will point towards the stash

[earnest coral]

that symbol does it

[empty iris]

|test|

[earnest coral]

double

[empty iris]

||test||

[paper pecan]

Double | on both sides

[gleaming robin]

Looking at the code for GAMMA ZCP 1.4 Balanced Spawns

Default value for mutant stuff:
squad_size: def = 1
squad_size_variance: def = 1

Default value for the pop size on the main mcm page:
Monster_pop_factor: def = 0.5
Stalker_pop_factor: def = 0.5

is that what you're after?

[empty iris]

When wishing for ||riches, is the game supposed to crash||?

[lavish zinc]

yeah, I turned other stuff on here, but i'm not sure if the MCM defaults are GAMMA defaults

[paper pecan]

It spawns every item in the game in your inventory

[empty iris]

that's what I thought it did

[lavish zinc]

I had zombified spawning where they shouldn't (Cordon west of the farm)🧟

[paper pecan]

Which usually leads to crashes

[lavish zinc]

I'm afraid turning off NPC spawning will turn them off for good

[empty iris]

Is there any wish that doesn't fuck up random stuff?

[gleaming robin]

ah true, I assume something would have to call it - give me a sec, I reckon i might be able to see if anything overwrites those values in the Gamma Mod github

[paper pecan]

No, the evil rock is evil

[lavish zinc]

thank you a lot man

[sturdy hazel]

No as thats the point of the wish granter

Its suppose to fuck you up

[stark kindle]

w

[empty iris]

oh ok, so ||wishing for immortality and the rock puts you in an open grave is intended||?

or is there a hidden consequence?

[paper pecan]

Turns you into a zombie

[sturdy hazel]

Its suppose to turn you into the zombie faction which makes you hostile to every faction

Tho afaik, it does not work

[empty iris]

i see

[gleaming robin]

there is apparently a mod literally called "G.A.M.M.A MCM values - rename to keep your personal changes" lol - it sets monster_pop_factor to 0.5

There are other versions of ZCP but they arent enabled

[empty iris]

well, back to an older save

[gleaming robin]

so im fairly confident the gamma default for monster pop factor is 0.5

[sturdy hazel]

You can also wish for the zone to dissappear but that crashes you with the text "WISH GRANTED" on the crash log

[solid ibex]

how fucking many snorks are there omfg

[empty iris]

that one made me laugh my ass off

[fierce fable]

Steal their toes

[gleaming robin]

just checked other values as well - put em all together for easy reading

mutant_pop_factor = 0.5
stalker_pop_factor = 0.5
mutant squad_size = 0.55
mutant squad_size_variance = 0.15

so it looks like its slightly different here - id recommend reading this script for info:
G.A.M.M.A. MCM values - Rename to keep your personal changes/gamedata/configs/axr_options.ltx

[lavish zinc]

ok, that's very helpful

i'll look it up

thx a lot

this is a blobflin rec

[minor jolt]

not sure about it

[mint holly]

Any go-to quick ways to stop the game from constantly crashing?

[timber oak]

play a bit, think of what yo uwant, poke around and serach and add the mods u want

[minor jolt]

all i want is like best graphic more gun and cool armor

[timber oak]

there are plenty of gun mods, But armor..? i dont know.
#1335760279056809995
#1333281107151683665

#1459329710973649019 cant forget this-

C-cons grass and tress is cool
melachony weathers is also good for graphics
Emergent zone i suggest for things as such
KVMA or GFY for npc models.
(there are graphics, you can search in this server for em or moddb)

[amber spade]

[lavish zinc]

About ZCP, do any of yall use those custom mutants?

@mint holly, remove your Newcomer role to:

• gain access to the restricted part of the server;
• ask for help/support with custom modlists (enabled/disabled mods in MO2);
• download additional mods for GAMMA;
• talk in the #╓☢stalker-chat (you'll need to be Rookie in order to post in this channel first)

▶️ Go to #⏩start-confirm to remove the role, but ONLY after you have successfully installed AND launched at least once the mod pack.

[mint holly]

thx

[timber oak]

go to #🔨base-gamma-support

[fallow quest]

He isn´t wrong

[timber oak]

post the stack trace and error there,
stack trace is automatically copied to your clipboard when it crashes, then go in your files and post the log.

[pseudo fractal]

yo, is there an actual suppresor for the barrett m82?? i put the upgrade in it but i cant find anyone that fits

[timber oak]

it should be Anomaly > appdata > logs TEXT file

[tough lion]

^

[timber oak]

the second one ( i have alife so its there too. not normally the third)

[minor jolt]

isn't there already a weather mod in gamma?

[tough lion]

Scroll down until the end and check out what the error is

[timber oak]

I dont really think so.. probably but, melachony weathers is better

[jovial geode]

yea...

[tough lion]

Then you start trying to find whatever file it is in the mo2 file search

[fallow quest]

No actually, just post the complete crashlog.

[timber oak]

typically i post that then the log

[empty iris]

can you put the KS-23M Drozd in your melee slot without mods?

[timber oak]

less theres no stack trace-
then FUCK

[timber oak]

No. (sadly)

[barren mirage]

Anomaly 1.5.2 vs 1.5.3

[harsh fiber]

No because the gun isn't even in the lootpool

[fallow quest]

???

[gritty estuary]

did they change the m1911?

[timber oak]

Icon only im pretty sure

[barren mirage]

What are the changes they made

[harsh fiber]

Look em up

[pseudo fractal]

alr, thanks

[minor jolt]

atmosphere is a weater mod no ?

[harsh fiber]

It is

[empty iris]

Damn. I want a sniper, shotgun, and AR equipped and ready

[barren mirage]

No I dont feel like it and that shit is never easy to find

[fallow quest]

Nothing much far as I remember. Just look up the changelog

[timber oak]

You can use it if youd like, its a neat mod i just like using different things myself

[gritty estuary]

I'm not able to inspect or ammo check it like I used to

[minor jolt]

ho okay

[harsh fiber]

Then fuck off you lazy ass

[timber oak]

I dont use those so i wouldnt know-

[fallow quest]

Here, get spoonfed

i mean wdym about linear non-linear

[royal girder]

Pretty sure it is kinda.

[restive sentinel]

it's linear if i get it right

[royal girder]

There aren't many different paths, there's only 1 way forward = linear.

[lavish zinc]

this mf

[restive sentinel]

yea there's one way only, but sometimes there could be different dynamic anomalies inside

[lavish zinc]

never wanted to kill a clear sky stalker so bad

[gaunt sand]

Weird, I guess I couldn't find a doorway, thanks

[lavish zinc]

but this one reeeeally is grinding my gears right now lol

[royal girder]

So am i ready or should i give Hip the RPG XD?

[gaunt sand]

Whether there are routes you can take that result in you not progressing towards the final room

[restive sentinel]

nah there's always open doors, look around

[eager acorn]

its a pretty straightforward path

[restive sentinel]

same path every time

[gaunt shell]

Hey, what’s the button to activate the special power pack ability for my Exosuit? I know it says “Double-Tap Shift” but I rebound shift to sprint and I also have my Exosuit at full power and I can’t seem to figure out how to activate it anyways :

[remote fossil]

get more Yadulin and Ibuprofen. double the AP ammo you have. maybe get an improved titanium grid to help your carry weight so you can run more without stopping. get more grenades or a grenade launcher. otherwise, your ballistic res is very nice. i see no other big issues

[restive sentinel]

go to MCM settings and find something like "button to activate exo power"

should be H by default? maybe double press or hold it?

[royal girder]

Fentanyl is life tho. Also got the titanium grid. I plan on looting a LOT of grenades on monolith in radar and using them.

[gaunt sand]

I keep running into this room and can't find a way out grrr

[remote fossil]

i recommend more fentanyl. and maybe 1 more epi pen

[royal girder]

3 epis not enough?

[restive sentinel]

walk up the stairs on the screenshot

[royal girder]

That's like a whole in game day.

[remote fossil]

to be fair, i over prepare for everything lol

[remote fossil]

your ballistic res is very nice though. thats the big thing

[gaunt sand]

Oh, did I miss a door there? Thank you

Is it worth it to hire like, two mercs or other guys for a military base
Tryna take it on but the guys there are way too much for me by myself 👁️

[royal girder]

Got lucky with the pseudo hide, could get another empty or Wrenched but i plan on putting on the black angel on my last slot.

[restive sentinel]

yea there's gonna be an enterance

[eager acorn]

bro gonna run out of time

[remote fossil]

you can only equip 1 of each type of artifact. i would recommend titan frames for your last slot. brain scorcher is a race and you want to be able to run as much as possible.

[gaunt sand]

I loaded a save that I made three minutes ago 🙏

[restive sentinel]

pog

[gaunt sand]

Can't believe I really got to the end, down to the very last enemy, and kept missing the LAST DOOR over and over

[restive sentinel]

i can't imagine being a first timer in GAMMA since 0.9.3 iirc

[gaunt sand]

Insane run

[restive sentinel]

must be so confusing plus being on a timer

[eager acorn]

was the timer added on that version?

[woeful pecan]

Think I'm gonna reload a save and hire at least 2 guys before taking on this military camp thing

[subtle idol]

bro brought the vykhlop to duga

[restive sentinel]

either 0.9.2 or 0.9.3, it used to be 2 times shorter back then

[remote fossil]

you did that for your first time in a Science Suit? how much ballistic res did you have

[subtle idol]

what are yalls favourite base locations?

[eager acorn]

dead city

[gaunt sand]

12% ballistic res and +10% damage reduction from drugs

[karmic heath]

Hello everyone, I'm from Vietnam.

[royal girder]

Bro probably died so much in that suit

[restive sentinel]

good morning Vietnam

[gaunt sand]

90% of my deaths in scorcher dungeon were to a legend stalker in an exosuit because by that time I ran out of slugs, AP and FMJ

[cyan ruin]

can anyone please let me know how to edit buids? there should be a build mode i can enter by pressing home but nothing i try works

[gaunt sand]

I had to stunlock him with 12 rounds of buckshot 😭

[remote fossil]

are you talking about furniture?

[stark kindle]

how do anomalous studies work

[fading crow]

turn down yo damn NVG sensitivity goddamn

[stark kindle]

I get task updated all the time but never complete

[eager acorn]

you should be on edit mode first
pick up the item and press "place item" again without actually placing it

[restive sentinel]

by the way, does anyone know if stunlock got already reduced to ISG? Or is it not yet implemented?

[royal girder]

Go to the area until the mission updates. Pull out the anomalous study device and wait until it fills up

[gaunt sand]

Thank you, I thought this was the lowest intensity 😭

[eager acorn]

if the keybind doesnt work change it in mcm > hideout furniture

[remote fossil]

walk up to the area marked on your map. when you are close enough, you will hear the quest update. put on your anomalous measurement device and pull it out. the bars will increase. hold still. once it fills up, you will hear the quest complete sound.

[cyan ruin]

im trying to move a stash that i placed rn

[woeful pecan]

Question, chat
Is there a difference between hiring different companions?
Like, if I hire a merc, will that be better than hiring a bandit? 👁️

[eager acorn]

press take all twice if it has items in it

[gaunt sand]

damn

[eager acorn]

stashes works different than other furnitures

[royal girder]

If you have MULTIPLE anomalous study devices, either stash them until the mission marker points to the stash to know the real one to use for this mission or drop them for the same result

[woeful pecan]

Oh hey I got one of those
Then I lost it :( was on a renegade

[cyan ruin]

im trying to get into that edit mode. what is they key combo?

[restive sentinel]

usually better equiped companions should serve you better due to better weapons and armor

[keen trellis]

Hermann & Ozersky are stuck behind window with Tukarev is it possible to teleport them

[royal girder]

Only 1 specific 1 works for 1 mission. You can also remove batteries to mark the ones you know aren't right etc...

[remote fossil]

the main thing for Stashes is to hit Tab to unlock the ability to place the stash anywhere. i like to put mine on walls

[eager acorn]

if its a stash press take all twice, if it has items in it

[restive sentinel]

try reloading the save or change locations

[stray portal]

hey guys wasnt there a way to show the dead bodies of enemies in the map?

[royal girder]

Get the PDA V2 or cheat and use body dots on minimap

[cyan ruin]

You're amazing

[remote fossil]

when you upgrade your PDA it will gain KillTrak. that will put a dot on your map where bodies are

[restive sentinel]

by default you'd need a v2.0 PDA or better, but it can be customizeable via MCM

[smoky charm]

im gonna be upgrading to a 16:9 monitor soon what fov do you guys play

[stray portal]

i guess ill just fuck myself until having 2.0 pda, how do i get it tho?

[woeful pecan]

Gotcha, ty
Hoping that 2 mercs is gonna be enough for the base 😭

Crafting

[remote fossil]

you will craft it after getting the proper tools. you will need to buy the recipe from a technician

[amber spade]

I AM A MADE MAN

[eternal nacelle]

There a lite version of gamma?

[remote fossil]

welllllll.... you want good ballistic res, lots of meds, lots of AP ammo, plenty of explosives, and enough carry weight so you can run without running out of stamina much. you can also use morphine meds to reduce the damage you take. Epi Pens are also recommended

[woeful pecan]

Gotcha

[eternal nacelle]

Like less resource intensive

[woeful pecan]

Hmmm...
So, starter armor, mosin, vodka, and bandages?

[restive sentinel]

good enough

[remote fossil]

dont let your dreams be dreams

[wispy kiln]

@remote fossil @amber spade now do I hit on it so 666 is 18 should I go for it 🤔

[eager acorn]

!dx9

[hearty saffron]

@eternal nacelle
If you want to play with DX8 or DX9, follow this guide: #╭📖faq message

[remote fossil]

i would keep the 666 and enjoy the very short life you have left

[dusky raptor]

how do i even get scopes

[wispy kiln]

You know what you right

[remote fossil]

attachments unlock as you get more rep with factions

[wispy kiln]

Bruh ain’t now way he got a 21 shits rigged welp time to go die by some insane way

bro sorry to mentioned you out of nowhere, but how to disable SSS without borking my Gamma ?

[wispy kiln]

Holy shit I did not know stalker had this many attachments how many guns does the game have cause I plan on collecting every single one

[restive sentinel]

good luck lol

[remote fossil]

based on the database, it has 168 weapons. that also includes melee and the RPG

[wispy kiln]

Shit

[subtle idol]

whats everyones favourite base locations?

[remote fossil]

i suggest showing off your collection by using the wooden gun racks. i expect a beatiful screenshot in your future

[supple mason]

Rostok

[tame grove]

good lord, thank you !!!

[remote fossil]

it changes based on the run but, I usually setup adjacent to a Technician

[royal girder]

Mine is curently in the hangar on the other side of the closed door of the mechanic in rostock, the one with a fire in it.

[tame grove]

should i disable this too ?

[fallow quest]

Oh wait, oflin gave me a wot copy pasta for that

[eager acorn]

i got that from you lol

[fallow quest]

just do this on DX11:

Disable:

• Enhanced Shaders
• Beef's NVG
• Screen Space Shaders
• Atmospherics

Enable:

• No BNVG FDDA Redone Patch

Delete:
Anomaly/Appdata/Shaders_Cache

If you want to keep Beef's NVG mod and have it working without the need for SSAO (otherwise nightvision is dark and doesn't work properly)
For this you don't enable No BNVG FDDA Redone Patch btw, instead do this:

Reinstall: (Right click mod > reinstall mod in mo2)
Beef's NVG to include Beefs NVG and Beefs NVG ES no SSR modules
Enhanced Shaders to include No PBR, Fixed Bloom and Corrected Cubemaps

Optional settings tinkering to get even more fps:

Ingame visual settings:
Visual > Advanced
World Render Distance to 25%
SMAA to LOW (helps to remove jagged edges a bit)
Grass Density set using r__detail_density 0.45 command
Grass Height set to 0.7
Actor Shadow OFF
Sun Rays Mode OFF
Volumetric Light OFF
Wet Surfaces OFF

Visual > Player
Mask Overlay OFF
Rain Droplets OFF
Breathing Fog OFF

You can also try mods like https://www.moddb.com/addons/reworked-vanilla-grass-textures-meshes or https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/reworked-anomaly-grass-meshes-v01 which make grass appear more denser, which lets you tune the sliders down without making the map look barren

#1467056699683770379 can also be used for the game to utilize more threads or stuff like Core0 Affinity

and the relations stats on the pda is what MY goodwill is for each faction depending on what faction i'm aligned with?

[amber spade]

oh well. gotta defend my stash, either way

[eternal nacelle]

look i dont know much stalker but i know when the sky is red and the fuck off sirens are playing to get to a bunker

[remote fossil]

your personal goodwill for each faction is the very top row

[dusky raptor]

omg so it is

[royal girder]

The top line of the relations tab is your goodwill for each.

did they remove the option to use a knife from inventory when skinning?

Okay, I won’t bully further

[amber spade]

the black cat is out tonight

[royal girder]

[royal girder]

Crows are just weird. The normal mutants should work

[fallow quest]

[silver frigate]

Oh all right, so it's only with crows, okay

[royal girder]

Yeah you need to have your knife out with them.

[eager acorn]

since when can you skin crows

[pearl forum]

They're on period leave em alone

[royal girder]

Since they fall from the sky and die when an emission happens

[eager acorn]

yeah but you cant skin them

[royal girder]

Yes you can. Just have your knife out and do it

They give some random stuff

[eager acorn]

[royal girder]

Like 20 roubles.

[fallow quest]

Well “skin” you get a couple coins and a joint if you’re lucky

[royal girder]

And spent shells that you can only sell

[eager acorn]

i was never able to so i just ignored it

[royal girder]

Sometimes they actually give rat meat

[silver frigate]

Or when you waste a few pistol bullets on them

[royal girder]

Not worth it

[silver frigate]

they might * drop a mutated crow beak. What's it for? Dunno but maybe it'll be useful someday

[eager acorn]

[silver frigate]

Yeah probably not

[pearl forum]

I think I found a marijuana on a bloodsucker on the other day, or was it Burer? I'm not sure

[fallow quest]

Do they?
I dunno, not like I actually play this shit

[fallow quest]

Burer have those sometimes

[amber spade]

you need 2 of them to craft the wish granter mini

[eager acorn]

will you play new update tho

[fallow quest]

Eh probably? Maybe?

I’ll at least download it

[molten falcon]

maybe someday we can use it to make "The Beak" Tea

[sand smelt]

I would really love to see this done for the PPSH. There’s no stick mags in the magazine mod.

[fallow quest]

I mean I .. I can do file searches that way, makes things easier in some support cases

[amber spade]

"i wish for a girlfriend"

transform the nearby rock into a slightly curved figure that follows you, like scp 173

"i want riches"

summon a singular rouble

[fallow quest]

Maybe I’ll get the urge to play again after some time .. it’s now 6 months or so that I last opened the game

[gaunt shell]

Rebound it to 0 works fine and is op as all hell now xD. Thanks.

[eager acorn]

there are lots of changes to ai simulation at least

[fallow quest]

I guess .. is it worth the constant childlike drama though?

[remote fossil]

just be careful. some exo powers eat your batteries pretty quick

[fallow quest]

I don’t think so

[gaunt shell]

That’s what I hunt Monolith for.

[lilac crow]

what the helly

Why is that C tier

Am I missing something about why it's not obviously D?

[sand smelt]

I got a Merc Ace this playthrough before I got basic tools. They’ve been giving ridiculous drops.

[lilac crow]

It all started with a P90 on my first literal hour in game, and now I'm noticing almost my entire kit is looted merc stuff lol

They really do have some overtuned drops or at least I need to make them harder to kill

what shld i fight chimeras with

[remote fossil]

all mutants have no armor so just hit them with anything that does lots of raw damage

[gaunt sand]

Freedomer

[dusky raptor]

ok cool they looked like they had thick skin and since they require a sharper knife i was just making sure that you didn't use AP on them

[wicked fractal]

any hp rounds, ks-23 is a good contender if you find one

[sand smelt]

.45 SMGs will also do well

[fierce fable]

Follow up aoe instructions on their discord about gamma but it generally will crash a lot like that regardless

[dusky raptor]

ig im going to the butcher to grab a knife before i do night terrors

[wicked fractal]

yea .45ACP Hydrashock is the HP variant of .45

[royal girder]

A glock with a switch

[remote fossil]

the hunting knife is the first one that can cut thick hide. also, getting a hunting kit will increase part drops by 40%

[dusky raptor]

oh shit nice

is there any place or doc or such for tips like these that can be really helpful for new players

i should probably just watch that guy's 7hr guide video

[remote fossil]

check the pinned messages. it has a ton of links and images

[ripe dust]

Anyone have an idea why bodies vanish, I just got finished killing 6 bandits and only 3 bodies remain despite me killing them in the open.

[royal girder]

The dogs ate them

[fierce fable]

Upgrade your pda so you have marker on the bodies you kill

[mossy yew]

do u mean ur gonna stab the chimera to death

[mossy yew]

is your corpse despawn set too low

[dusky raptor]

would u believe i actually tried that after running out of ammo the first time i tried the mission

[mossy yew]

its quite doable

[remote fossil]

you can viably kill a chimera with a knife once you learn how to dodge it

[ripe dust]

I just maxed it all out, distance and total bodies hopefully that fixes it

[fierce fable]

Tbh if you just chase their backs their AI gets confused a lot

[mossy yew]

u can probably waste less ammo kniving mutants in general, well obviously*

[mossy yew]

probably

[fierce fable]

Just make sure you got stamina regan for infinite sprint to make it easier

[dusky raptor]

i suck balls dude im gonna shoot them in the head

[mossy yew]

even walking does wonders

[mossy yew]

shooting head>higher difficulty>suck balls>??

kniving is the cheese method for noobs u got it the wrong way man

[fierce fable]

Right click on the stash on map put a way point and right click the way point settings and enable "show on hud"

[remote fossil]

boars are kind top heavy and have momentum. you can jump to the side and they will run past. they also turn slowly so using trees is useful. if you shoot them in the sides and back they will take more damage. lemme check if a certain command still works

!boars

i guess the command is gone now

[mossy yew]

boars feel like they have auto aim

[eternal tapir]

thanks, it was underneath the boards

[fierce fable]

Snorks used to be so much stronger..

Insane auto aim and hit range

[mossy yew]

the snorks in lab x8 for whatever reason do like more damage idk if someone can confirm that

and also they just hit you through walls thats how big the auto aim is

it could just be a skill issue on my part though

[remote fossil]

i swear the hit boxes of small mutants are messed up lol

[fierce fable]

I wonder if the ones that are spawned by scripted events aren't nerfed

[plain depot]

I have a stalker story to share ill make it semi quick I was in the garbage doing a task for Butcher to clear out some mutants I go to where it says on the PDA and see 2 fleshes running around so I chase them down kill them and check PDA but there's no update I go back to the marker and I hear light footsteps and then bam hit with 3 visions of bloodsuckers and my guy starts freaking out and luckily I shoot and kill the psysucker and I ran all the way back to rostok as a fresh Loner

hi everyone! So I installed Gamma, now looking to check out some of the mods. Can someone kindly direct me where to start when it comes to installing additional mods? Good tutorial video or whatnot that you would recommend? Sorry if there is a better channel for this, I didn't really notice one

I like to bury myself in my back yard to pretend im a carrot, ive been saving up money for a carrot costume for this little hobby of mine and i can finally buy it soon but you guys probably won't read this cuz its 4 sentences long

[remote fossil]

yeah it's a common tactic for people who play Freedom/Bandit/Merc to stack kill quests for Military in the same zones. many zones will only have 1 spot that military spawn so it's likely that the quests overlap at the same spot

[plain depot]

Ive played Anomaly before so to spice things up I did the black road start where you have almost nothing

Ecologists

[subtle panther]

do i do the ctrl+m on mo2 for this file or is it just an update for a mod thats already installed? i have no idea what im doing lol

[eager acorn]

!inspect

[hearty saffron]

@lime pawn If you want to manually inspect your gun, you'll need to disable this mod in MO2:
"G.A.M.M.A. Inspect on double tap F disabler"

inb4 "I don't see any animations for this specific gun" - that's because your gun doesn't have animations for that

[fierce fable]

!heal

[hearty saffron]

@woeful pecan A quick video about how to basic heal yourself: #╭📖faq message

[lime pawn]

Oh thank you!

[woeful pecan]

Tyty

[lime pawn]

I take it it's disabled for a reason then by default?

[eager acorn]

!busyhands can happen cause overlapping anims or smth

[hearty saffron]

@lime pawn "Busyhands" is the name of a bug that softlocks your game by preventing you from performing basic game functions, common signs include:

• Broken health HUD (all red)
• Can't do any animated actions (use meds, eat food)
• Crashing on area transition
• Can't open inventory
  Highly recommend turn on 412- Busyhands Detection and Blame - RavenAscendant mod to detect if it is really busy hands, and if so then which script caused it. Also keep it on to prevent further long term busy hands that make you lost a lot of progress. Noted that it can't 100% detect all busy hands, so common sense is still the best way

If you have it, reload an older save. Eventually this may not work anymore, you'll be in permanent busy hands, then it's time to start a new game. Read more here: #╭📖faq message
It is sometimes possible to fix with a full reinstall, make sure to use !delete in https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1012510897136222293

[restive sentinel]

oh wow, okay thanks! didn't know it always has been in this sheet

tho personally i havent had busyhands in a while so should still be fine

would you guys live without artifact crafting

Oh I had something really similar to the 2nd one happen when I tried to play a harmonica!

[fierce fable]

!tools

[hearty saffron]

@supple mason
To get a yellow stash, finish 7 tasks, then keep doing things that will get you stash coordinates (e.g. more tasks, opening PDAs, looting bodies). You get a 50% chance of receiving a yellow stash each time. This resets upon finding a yellow stash - then you need to do 7 more tasks, and look for more stash coordinates afterwards.
