[remote fossil]

did you accidentally turn off the quest marker button at the top of your map?

[atomic matrix]

All 3 are kits purchased

[tidal cargo]

oh maybe, let me check

[viral raven]

The difference between most guns is just a preference

[gentle pond]

I think its just fun to use the systems "to their fullest" and it makes others feel like they gotta when they see it. People that genuinely act like you literally need to are talking out their asses for sure tho. Im sure someone out there is doing new kiparis invictus as we speak and its going well

[lethal arrow]

"I must have the deer hunter because it's best" mf just needs to use what they have. Shit luck or good luck

[tidal cargo]

I absolutely did, thank you

[exotic whale]

is wind of freedom or sentinel of freedom better?

[lethal arrow]

hold CTRL and see their stats

[exotic whale]

appreciate it man

[sick grove]

its kinda nice the crafting menu takes all the resources you own close by and use the lowest quality ones for crafting

certainly don't need to go through the boxes looking for the specific ones

[gentle pond]

Huge QoL

[viral raven]

Yeah, using it because you like the gun is a good thing. Using the gun because it's somehow better, or meta? Same with armor and artifacts? Bullshit

[lethal arrow]

that confused me the first time i tried repairing parts, i was like "huh, wtf is going on"

[charred prism]

Maybe someone will take a closer look: If I use any sight on the PP-BISON, then the weapon does not shoot at the point, but at the side when aiming. How to fix it?

[lethal arrow]

"guys i assure you my 9x21 ammo is better because i spit on the tip before shooting it"

[boreal fossil]

You won't like it, but adjust your own aim and then feel superior, comrade

[gentle pond]

Yeah. I went for as much BR as I could with a balanced artifact set cuz it was fun to tinker with and I wanted to see what full tankiness felt like and it gave me an endgame goal to chase with the 4% drops. Much better motivators than "i have to" that mindset would just burn me out real bad

[charred prism]

Are you drunk?)

[viral raven]

And I do the opposite. I do not care about BR, I just go for the higher radiation resistance and movement speed where possible. It's just a playstyle, neither is "better" than the other

[lethal arrow]

that psy and chem resistance is delicieux

[gentle pond]

I got bored of full tank immediately so I wont be doing it this run, leaves space to be more creative with my artifacts

Literally got isg noso and maxed artis and then quit the playthru lol

[sick grove]

are the chemical and fire aoe damage lower this patch around?

[short pilot]

So after testing I found out what the entire disguise system is based on

The entire system is against poor people
Ive done everything
Dances, jumped, sprinted, shot next to them. NOTHING matters
Even WITHOUT helmet, sprinting, shooting they dont care.

But as soon as I put on a outfit with like 60% durability

SPY!!!!
Dont be poor when you want to disguise

[gentle pond]

This was b4 I knew about vyraj tho that does sound cool to mess with

[viral raven]

Like "guys I need best belt loadout and PKM zenit and merc ace suit" and similar shit is just so boring and annoying to see here, it's so repetitive

[short pilot]

entire disguise is completly broken 😄

[gentle pond]

They need more whimsy

[lethal arrow]

fire feels lower, chem idk cause i always stepped around

[fallen jay]

this says a lot about society.

[lethal arrow]

the CIA took notes closely

[viral raven]

Real....

[gentle pond]

Interesting, im using disguises in my ISG run cuz you kinda gotta so this is valuable intel lol

[lethal arrow]

Merc ace is useless now anyway

[chrome osprey]

Anyone have a good recommendation for a Medium body armor with this new update?

[gentle pond]

My merc run i just prioritized carry weight for my light and medium armors bc thats when youre scrounging and hording the most. Voyager and Nomad

[lethal arrow]

if you really want the best along with artefacts, "Nomad" suit. If you dont care, slap a beril or whatever you find

[dire spade]

hey guys, struggling to install on linux mint through GOG

[viral raven]

I am aware of that. I have been telling people that ace is shit for so long already. But everyone is still stuck a few years in the past where "Ace is the best!!!! you can not play the game if you don't farm fucking mercs for 10401340320 hours or else you'll get fucked in BS because everyone I've seen on youtube said it's dangerous and I went once to BS and I died billion times so you MUST have 99% artefacts and ACE suit and this and that before you go there"

[rugged wigeon]

I've been using the duty universal scientific suit

[chrome osprey]

Sweet thanks, I've had pretty bad lucking finding armors right now and just been on a hunt for something

[short pilot]

ye I got no clue whats happening there.
It went from "nothing matters but dont draw a gun"
to (after changing settings to default anomaly)
"Nothing matters just dont have a scratch on that uniform"

I keep testing

[burnt dove]

the glock 19 might be my new fav pistol for mutants

[lethal arrow]

Such idiots lol. There are plenty of viable and good suits anyway. Nomad, Merc Beril, the list goes on because they're all useful for something depending on your Stalker situation. Your weapons suck? Invest in artefact farming. Your suits suck? Invest in nades man

[gentle pond]

Only settings I changed were sprinting allowed, and getting close allowed so I could realistically turn in tasks and i can still get caught with a 100% suit

[alpine river]

of course i'll keep finding those damn pathfinders the moment i don't need them

[oak swan]

Hornet or reg?

[burnt dove]

hornet

[lethal arrow]

the Merc one is good you know

[oak swan]

Good pistol

[void kestrel]

Im trying to travel to great swamp from cordon behind the farm but i just keep running into a wall? Any ideas?

[gentle pond]

The thing is genuinely a straight upgrade in like every way to the Aug 9mm i started with its so funny

[oak swan]

I'm liking the nightsword

[alpine river]

i got an ACE which is the ultimate version of pathfinder

[ripe jasper]

remind me never take mutant hunting tasks anywhere on truck cementary

2 pseudogiants

[lethal arrow]

https://tenor.com/view/ratio-ecologist-isaque-strelok-stalker-gif-23474821

[gentle pond]

Nightsword is saucy and once youre used to the triple burst its nutty

[burnt dove]

i dunno what the default mag size is when youre playing without mags, but i have 5 mags with me with 33 shots each and that thing rips

[gentle pond]

Word round these parts is the ace is mid now

[viral raven]

See, like this

[jaunty crag]

I love this shotgun so much oh god

[gentle pond]

Has been for awhile even

[lethal arrow]

word round these parts the ACE is homeless now, praise the Beril

[tender oxide]

SSS 24 when

[gentle pond]

Default is 40. 33 is still 1 more than aug 9mm and it has like 19% more accuracy and higher rpm lmao

[short pilot]

may you please send me a pic of your settings? Because I can stick a NATO dude a PKM in his face

[ripe jasper]

they used to be smaller to... no?

[shrewd verge]

wait how tf does merc exo have 103% movespeed

[viral raven]

The exact reason I've been saying that Ace shouldn't be obtainable

[gentle pond]

I am at work unfortunately

[lethal arrow]

which pseudogiants are you fighting? your mom?

[fathom wind]

is there a good stalker gamma map that shows the locations of anomalies that i can use? (besides the ingame ones)

[gentle pond]

You wouldn't know given im camping out in this chat but

[alpine river]

not ideal, but dont have isg noso (nor any other noso) nor vyraj power armour yet
It's either ACE or doody exo

[short pilot]

but you are on a 0.95 patch and anomaly 1.5.3 right?

[buoyant trail]

they're a lot bigger in gamma than base anomaly or the original games

[burnt dove]

yeah, and its very convinient to aim with the laser as close range. ill see if i can find even bigger mags for it, so far i only have warsaw traders

[gentle pond]

Yes. Not the very latest update but 0.95 for sure

[viral raven]

Everything is viable brother. You can literally take anything in the zone. Doesn't matter fucking what and use it. There's nothing meta, that's bullshit.

[lethal arrow]

well this was bound to happen anyway, the caveman brain see ACE, think it's still good and use it

[short pilot]

but you have the gamma standard settings just changed sprinting?
And set maximum safe distance higher?

[lethal arrow]

yes the differences in class have been shrunk so now just have fun and do what you want

[short pilot]

Can someone in here please share the standard disguise settings in chat?
I dont want to delete.user.´ltx just to see them

[shrewd verge]

im going to shit mysef l

[paper tide]

am I dumb or can you not waypoint stashes anymore

[lethal arrow]

go buy it

[burnt dove]

is it cheaper to buy 9x19 HP from normal traders, or by 9x18 hp/hydroshock from butcher and craft 9x19?

[hollow mortar]

I just got up north, and I ran into a group of controllers, no joke, 9 of them. All together. I couldn't even kill them because of the incessant psychic bombardment when I'd get into range of engagement. I have to say, this feels a bit unbalanced. Is this supposed to be like this?

[viral raven]

You can take any medium armor and play with it without a singular artefact and you'll be good.
Obviously, people that think that they need BR Class and Ballistic Resistances are the very people that will oppose it and say "Oh well how am I supposed to not die then"
Well have you thought of not playing Stalker like Call of Duty and maybe utilize cover a bit

[gentle pond]

Yeah, I turned up the suspicion time a bit too but I might revert it bc its a little too easy to cruise around

[gentle pond]

From what you said earlier it sounds like some of those settings might be off bc they're busted or something

[lethal arrow]

maybe don't run into a merc with an automatic 5.56 lmao, so true. But literally the Kyparis what it will most do is tickle you a bit, so idk what the BR obsession is now

[short pilot]

Well right now I can do whatever I want as long as my suit is 100%
I gotten it to a point that at least sticking the barrel of a PKM in his face is considered suspicous but nothing beyond that

[alpine river]

anyhow, what outside the power armour is armour meta now?

[burnt dove]

not to mention there are medium armors which literally almost have heavy armor levels of BR Class/Ballistic resistance

[gentle pond]

Tbf tho making the disguise system more difficult seems masochistic lmao. You do seem to just be testing tho

[gentle pond]

It doesnt slowly tick up if you stand next to someone?

[ripe jasper]

40 mosin rounds was enough only for one...

[hot obsidian]

Monolith provides with love

[short pilot]

The problem why I started testing is, that during my test (to see the difficulty) to check before going in with invictus
Inside the merc base I was strolling full sprint around and NOTHING happened ever
But drawing the gun was instant giveaway.

[exotic vortex]

vector might be a little overtuned, I just half mag'd a chimera

[lethal arrow]

he's so kind he's cupping his balls too

[deft plank]

K be real bros, does anyone actually quest in Darkscape?

[fathom wind]

is there a online map that shows the locations of every anomaly?

[short pilot]

Not right now, as long as outfit is 100

[boreal fossil]

I try not to

[radiant dune]

What happened to themed characters?
Name myself “Volya Threadcutter” and spawn with a VSS that can never be unequipped. Tired of the metaslave, let’s see some creativity

[hot obsidian]

"Bro your balls look heavy, lemme hold them for you"

[gentle pond]

Strange. Ill double check that im at exactly 100 when I get home

[burnt dove]

freedom does too

[deft plank]

im in Cordon with a new char and i have like 8 quests for Darkscape damn it

[short pilot]

Darkscape
The map no one would notice if removed

[bleak onyx]

is that normal ?

[hot obsidian]

Never caught Duty in homoerotic activites
HMMMMMM

[frozen grotto]

!omod

[hearty saffron]

@bleak onyx Go to [YOUR GAMMA folder]/plugins/data or [YOUR GAMMA folder]/plugins/installer_omod and find the files

OMODFramework.dll
OMODFramework.Scripting.dll
Right click it > "Show Properties", see if there is this message at the bottom: (picture below)
Click Unblock ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀

[burnt dove]

could be swamps

[alpine river]

as far as I'm concerned, darkscape is a easter egg

[frozen grotto]

oh shit i got veteran
yay 🎉

[gentle pond]

Started with grandma's old raptr

[lilac crow]

i still cant vault or mantle over anything and its the only thing preventing me from 9.5 lol

[hot obsidian]

Aight handholding wins the homo competition, i concede

[burnt dove]

sus

[burnt dove]

kissing the homies good night

[tulip flume]

Riiiiight.. that makes sense

[dim turret]

I have a problem with armor values. When comparing two armors while I am wearing one and the other is in my backpack, the wrong value differences are shown in the UI. I looked for various MCM settings but wasn't able to change them. Any ideas how to fix that?

[errant shoal]

What's a good duty base location in the north?

[paper pecan]

there are none
maybe skibidi boat in zaton

[vagrant bear]

hello, is there a way to know which ammo is the best ? like between 9x21 and 9x19 ?

[deft plank]

Imagine explaining to someone not acquitted with the game why you're discussing the homoerotic positioning of dead bodies in an online chatroom

[gentle pond]

Really weird bug. Have you messed with the settings? Tried binding vault to a diff key to see if your space bar is wonky about hold inputs somehow?

[burnt dove]

how far north?

[short pilot]

Wow
Now I cant get closer then 3 feet without instant discovery
This system.....
I barely moved a slighter by the lenght of my toe nail

[radiant dune]

That’s too boring

[viral raven]

It's literally become tiring to keep seeing shit in this channel that talk about some kind of meta or whatever.
Like you said, I literally had a character I don't remember name of that only could use Kar 98k and Korth Custom 6, and nothing else. No artefacts either

[gentle pond]

Yeah you really gotta tune it to make it feel reasonably usable but also have getting caught still be possible

[distant rose]

god damn fanatic in the tutorial just walking circles not starting new dialogue for artifact quests

[shut fulcrum]

Guys I have a questıon why everyone and theır mother has 9x21mm spd ammo? I looted 10 stalkers or so got 5 rifle bullets and 12 9x18 ın total compared to 78 9x21mm spd?

[gentle pond]

Oh yeah for sure that was sorta what I was going for I would never actually do a run like that lol

[lilac crow]

yea i tried a few different keys I can jump but cant vault

[viral raven]

how to spot a Turk 101

[shut fulcrum]

I am genuınly confused

[radiant dune]

Spartan Ranger has a “Duty Hunter” themed challenge that is pretty cool

[errant shoal]

Currently at the funni boat svenko or whatever, wondering if they got any bases there beside rostok. Freedom wants to tear my balls off so Jupiter is no good idea

[pliant phoenix]

is there a way to get better frames/ less stutter in jupiter

[deft plank]

You mean Turkesterone?

[shut fulcrum]

How

[lilac crow]

i am literally in debug right now, god mode, full stamina, wearing and holding nothing. cant vault or mantle

[short pilot]

It just acts weird because before I could literally shoot next to their ear. And now by moving 1 slider suddenly just existing is a crime.
Can I ping you during testing? Since you use disguise and no one else currently is on the topic

[coarse stream]

I once roleplayed as an ex SAS agent and googled the Guns in the SAS arsenal, and only used those Guns in my run

[viral raven]

i without the dot ;3

[radiant dune]

Kill the white teletubby, Zhukov

[neon quartz]

Kill black scientist

[shut fulcrum]

Shit right

[radiant dune]

Thought he was a white suit guy

[burnt dove]

duty doesnt have any bases north afaik. you can build in outskirts when you get there, there is a loner base, but apart from that not really

[neon quartz]

I thought he was black suit

[shut fulcrum]

My cover blown 🐺

[viral raven]

I need to think of a good one for my next run

[errant shoal]

Sankyuu

[pliant phoenix]

where is he? after that are the ecolist gonna shoot me

[gentle pond]

Yeah no worries im just passing time in here cuz work is slow. Im new to the system myself

[lilac crow]

I don't know any setting that would disable vaulting

[magic osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/sus-cat-stare-gif-17987914188750121908

[viral raven]

Nice, and fun. Too bad not many do stuff like this

[lilac crow]

I am genuinely so confused because everything else is perfect

[gentle pond]

Im trying to search the issue in here and ive seen a few people report the same issue but no solutions offered unfortunately

[distant rose]

how tf do i get fanatic to dialogue for anomaly in tuturial, retard just stands there

[lilac crow]

Well my solution is to use my old 9.4 install lol

[gentle pond]

Have you asked in gamma support? More likely to get someone willing to delve into it there probably

[viral raven]

I know someone once did a Duty run where they could only do WW2 German guns

[radiant dune]

That’s like one gun lmao

[crimson copper]

9 year old me going upstairs to get a snack (if I’m too loud nightmare Freddy will come out and kill me);

[viral raven]

Modded, obviously. Uhhh, Juan I think has both MP40, STG44, Luger P08, Walther P38 and some other stuff

[radiant dune]

Juan has terrible textures for his guns I can’t lie

[shrewd verge]

is this real chat

[radiant dune]

Juan guns but with Kmack Textures would go so hard

[paper pecan]

9yo me going to take a piss at 2am

[gentle pond]

My armor progression was voyager > nomad > loner exosuit im a weight carried and belt slot goblin

[viral raven]

We need someone to do that

[pliant phoenix]

antoher question did they turn off the voice from your charakter?

[paper tide]

truth nuke

[lilac crow]

@gentle pond I am the tard

[radiant dune]

The berthier and carcano textures are so awful, the metal is literally concrete color

[rose notch]

This dumb challenge took my 9 months, Should have never discovered it 😭

[paper tide]

I have a stah that is apparently attached to this dude i didnt expect it to happen to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gentle pond]

Was it just disabled for some reason?

[sick grove]

curse all these stalkers giving me lost signals for truck cemetery, I ain't running around all that

[burnt dove]

mine so far is leather jacket -> merc LC-F -> PS5-M

[viral raven]

I never used many of his guns tbf

[exotic vortex]

congrats what are u gonna name it?

[radiant dune]

The textures are so bad, but he makes more unique and milsurp guns

[gentle pond]

Leather jacket to merc probably felt great lol. Not familiar with the last one myself

[viral raven]

We need someone to make better guns 💔

[burnt dove]

thats the last one

[rose notch]

named it invictus finished lol, im ded inside from trying

[gentle pond]

Ahh ic ic

[nova folio]

i have an idea, there's game called escape from tarkov

[viral raven]

I have a better idea, no

[nova folio]

your idea is too short

[sharp wedge]

i think i broke defend the barrier

[gentle pond]

Did you get cheesed by mutants or kerblammed by stalkers more

[burnt dove]

and yeah, that leather jacket upgrade was heaven

[viral raven]

You're too short grr

[rose notch]

Early game mutants are more dangerous, late to mid stalkers. I died once cuz 9 sin sitting in bushes while on afterglow

[distant rose]

how do you debug a glitched quests?

[nova folio]

!task

[hearty saffron]

@distant rose Having problems with a certain task? #╭📖faq message

[short pilot]

ok this is interesting and might help you fine tune.
Instead of changing distance/ time

Moving this sligher UP (more suspicous), will cause the opposite effect.
Instead of getting more suspicous depending on your clothing, you get LESS suspicious

Moving it down (technically less suspicion) they suddenly get absolutely crazy in watching you, even with a 100% outfit

[oak swan]

Bro I just ran into a pack of 5 controllers, 4 chimeras, 2 sin patrols, and then had to deal with the pseudogiant for Rouge, all in Outskirts

[lilac crow]

no, it was enabled and im still trying to figure out what exactly is wrong but at least I found the “ledge grab” settings lol

[oak swan]

Holy shit this place is overpacked

[eager acorn]

outskirts be like

[gentle pond]

Ahh good to know

[vast dagger]

thats why my hideout is there its a good spot

[oak flume]

Hi all, I'm playing as a loner. I don't know why, but a random scientist stalker suddenly open fire at me. But I never attacked him or any scientests before... I loaded the save file but he still opens fire at me when he sees me. What to do in this situation?

[gentle pond]

Ahh I see. Best of luck

[paper pecan]

calmest morning in outskirts

[tribal vigil]

How do you skip a RF receiver package task? Few days ago I think I've seen someone mention you can skip if you don't like the location. They keep sending me to starting locations and it's boring

[rustic stirrup]

any word on when the update gomes to gog launcher

[radiant dune]

Kmack. Meowie. Bert. All top tier gun modders

[shell turtle]

Hello, is it possible now that I have added custom songs on playlist 4 to make my hideout radio play that said playlist 4, since it can only tune into those 5 or so radio stations and not play custom stuff?

[eager acorn]

!olivius

[slender niche]

If you don't wanna kill em enable debug, go into godmode and forcefully make them neutral

[hearty saffron]

@oak flume

Do this to make any NPC friendly towards you:

1. Enable debug following these instructions: #╭📖faq message
2. In-game, aim at NPC and press F7 key
   ||Might help to press G as well to enable God Mode, just don't forget to disable it afterwards||
3. In Execute on Target, click Be friend (goodwill)
   -# If there's more than one enemy attacking you from the same faction you can scroll down and click on Be friend (squad) instead.

[paper pecan]

right click pda > cancel rf package

[vast dagger]

whats a kmack

[bleak pebble]

never seen ts before

[viral raven]

Uhhhhhhh, we need someone else

[tribal vigil]

right click on what?

[hardy dagger]

Has anyone here had the experience of activating repair kits in the ZCP mod and messing with their generation? Does this make the game much easier?

[gentle pond]

Yeah that ain't right

[normal oar]

the stalkie talkie

[viral raven]

If you put those in the lower % then it's not making the game much easier

[short pilot]

esp. interesting is that they seem to have a "instant trigger on distance" when outfit susp. is set to lower instead of higher
When its 1.0 you can easily stroll up to them, however suspicion still rises with time.

I will test settings and when I find something that lets you walk up to them and talk for short times (to hand in quests f.e) but nothing more I can share them with you if you want.
Because thats what I am searching for too.

I want to be able to go in, and hand in quests, maiby trade very quickly

[radiant dune]

I only mod for myself

[tribal vigil]

oh like the item itself? in inventory?

[shrewd verge]

john heckler is here

[rustic stirrup]

anyone know when update comes to gog launcher

[gentle pond]

I'd imagine this could break progression significantly depending on how it works.

[viral raven]

no

[radiant dune]

No

[burnt dove]

What is the best knife and where can i get it ?

[normal oar]

yeah i imagine ive never tried to disable those

[hardy dagger]

thanks

[viral raven]

based as fuck

[unborn orchid]

Is it actually good? Now it's on steam I might give it a try

[paper pecan]

playing russian roulette with whether the tree im hiding behind actually blocks controller vision or noth

[hardy dagger]

Hey man, how did you put the item weights on the item icon? That's pure QoL, you don't need to hover your mouse over it to see the weight.

[gentle pond]

The settings at the very bottom are probably what you need to make that work. That's what I did

[radiant dune]

“Hey look at this cool mod!”
“Ooh can I have it?”
“No”

[acoustic phoenix]

as a bandit what is the best path towards brain scorcher

[tribal vigil]

It's just anoying and my first one was in army warehouses so I didn't know I could cancel, by the time I got there I had thousands of rep with different factions, every time I pass a location I always get the package, but they just keep coming

[paper tide]

all this shit (most of which is fully repaired) but no advanced tools 💔

[unborn orchid]

Any, bandits don't have brains so they are immune

[bleak pebble]

mod called inventory weights revised, need to activate it in mod organizer

[gentle pond]

I've never added mods to gamma is it easy to port them over after an update? I remember there being a command but never cared

[paper pecan]

truck cemetary > army warehouse > radar?

[viral raven]

As a bandit you technically don't need to disable it since you don't have anything to be fried

[topaz shard]

did you use 7zip to unzip your files? i did an update and was missing 4 mods and accidentallye xtracted a fresh copy of the gamma 7 zip and it ruined my install, reinstalled from scratch with instructions and it fixed it

[tribal vigil]

well that worked. thanks

[rugged pecan]

how defuq do i kill controllers in gamma ? Doing x18 right now, cant even come close to him and every time i barely see him he raises my gun..... sooooo anoing. Am I missing smtn ? though they only can controll u when they see u

[viral raven]

Don't get close to him

[unborn orchid]

Hide shoot, hide shoot, hide shoot. Fail anyway

[azure root]

How to cancel quests?

[rugged pecan]

and how can i do that in a lab lmao

[bleak pebble]

ez

[nova folio]

1. see you - is like a projectile attack
2. close to him - urge to discharge firearm in less than ideal direction

[paper tide]

talk to whoever game them to you

[paper tide]

fuckin' discord.................... @azure root

[viral raven]

Pretty easy? Just go back from where you came

[strong patrol]

How do i remove the BLUE blur on my sights ?

[bleak pebble]

you download a zip file and then select it using this button

[viral raven]

too bright ahh

[hardy dagger]

Will activating it interfere with the generation of items that are already basic to Gamma? That's my concern; I'm worried that activating it might overwrite some other existing generation, especially since these options are disabled by default in Gamma.

[viral raven]

No

[coral herald]

is there any tactical kit or more open scope for the g36?

[remote onyx]

in agroprom research institute. backstabbed a military with a knife. but someone must have heard nearby upstairs. i was trying to sneak around. then i look behind me, and a military was sneaking up behind me the entire time and kills me. alife is crazy and amazing

[viral raven]

Right-click, details.

[bleak pebble]

i dont think modO has dark mode

[quasi prairie]

Im here but nothings happening is the quest bugged ?

[ocean thistle]

guys any idea if i can errase this?

[rich spindle]

I played a run with ZCP on Clear Sky, not really different

[viral raven]

It does, you need to change the theme in the settings

[elfin pine]

!lastdawn

[hearty saffron]

@quasi prairie

If you're stuck on the task "Last Dawn: Rescue the rogue scout unit":

Clear the building opposite the Apartment Complex
(Building is marked in red)

If you couldn't find anyone there, follow the instructions:

1. Enable debug mode: #╭📖faq message
2. Get ready to take out about 6 monolith soldiers right next to you
3. Open Object Spawner menu
4. Locate the text field that you can manually type into in the top right
5. Paste this into the text field: monolith_cs_story_squad_1
6. Select Spawn At Player setting below
7. Click Spawn
   ⠀

[ocean thistle]

idk what are those

[hardy dagger]

I also activated some different mutants that come inactive by default; I'm curious to find the giant bloodsucker.

[nova folio]

i was about to type that command too

[acoustic spade]

Hi guys, I'm on my first playthrough using a basic exo, pseudogiant pelt, and upgraded plates, and I feel super tanky without using artifacts at all. Would it actually benefit me to grind for high tier artifacts? Seems kinda pointless

[bleak pebble]

oooo shiii

[gentle pond]

Why do you want to disable them?

[gentle pond]

Itll make you tankier but its not necessary

It is entirely up to you.
Do not listen to anyone saying you do need them though. You don't. But if you want them, use them

[gentle pond]

Personally id say if you put no effort into gathering artifacts as you progressed its not worth doubling back to grind them all at once that'll be a slog. Artifact crafting goes best if youre proactively giving them some priority as you progress

[bleak pebble]

so is this usable or is it leftover from anomaly?

[unborn orchid]

When you have chronic lackofskillitis like me you do need everything you can get

[rich spindle]

Leftover

[paper tide]

where the hell did you get this

[rich spindle]

Enable ZCP bonus kits

[acoustic spade]

Which ones would be an upgrade from my upgraded plate / pseudogiant pelt? Full empty?

[bleak pebble]

UNISG stash

[rich spindle]

It even spawns universal that does nothing

[paper tide]

you got the sorry nothing item...

[gentle pond]

I run compass/empty/kolobok/max carbon plate/pseudo hide (chimera hide when not in a big fight) gets me to 86% out of 86% BR

[viral raven]

I can't talk about that. I can suggest utilizing cover and not thinking of Stalker as Call of Duty or something, but I can't make you play better
If you do need Artefacts, Nosorogs and maximum Ballistic Resistances, that's on you

[acoustic spade]

Thank you

[viral raven]

Oh and I hope that didn't come out of as rude, but I don't know how to word it in a nice way

[paper pecan]

when you have chronic lackofskillitis like me you just abuse the ai pathfinding

[alpine river]

how much rad resist you think is optimal?

[viral raven]

35-40%

[shrewd verge]

would yall prefer g36k or saw?

[bleak pebble]

dont the elements just fuck you?

[paper tide]

exactly enough to not die to passive radiation and no more

[nova folio]

for what

[unborn orchid]

I also like the bush cheese method, shoot someone , then hide on the closes bush, kill another, jumps unto the other bush. Until there is no one else

[gentle pond]

Max range Snipers 🤝 Close range path finding abuse

[shrewd verge]

killing most things in general

[alpine river]

fair

[rich spindle]

Saw sounds more exotic

[nova folio]

i hate when people say that

[honest pike]

abusing corners and cheesing the ai >>> any belt item

[viral raven]

Just don't go inside of anomalies and you'll be fine

[subtle panther]

i pretty much only run the combat focused suits with low rads and its not an issue as long as your okay with being an alcohloic and smoking like a chimney

[paper tide]

the best ammo for general purpose is obviously 9x19 because it has HP and AP both

[nova folio]

like how can you explain that saw is better sometimes and worse sometimes

[rich spindle]

Turning 180 to 100% bait them because scripts 👌

[gentle pond]

Compass and empty don't really have element downsides iirc. Im pretty good at naturally avoiding anomalies at this point tho. Their main downsides are stamina regen, health drain, and weight carried which all suck admittedly

[worthy moss]

Join Duty!

[paper pecan]

my fav part of brain scorcher is that the monos spawn with their back towards you

[viral raven]

It's not abusing, its just not thinking of yourself as Rambo that has to tank every bullet that comes his way

[unborn orchid]

Lmao, I do that for mutants, my favorite thing is find a Chimera, hide under a truck and profit

[rich spindle]

Right, right!

[honest pike]

a defensive rambo

[paper tide]

just wait for the giant and your allies to uh settle their differences :)

[viral raven]

I thought Scots were better

[gentle pond]

I managed to trap a chimera in an almost infinite loop of standing in one spot and trying to strafe to hit me while I shanked it with the starter knife. It got me after like 30 seconds of stabbing tho

Yeah I then realized this and ran tf away and let it kill the loners that were hunting me instead lmao

[viral raven]

how is val!!!!!

[unborn orchid]

If you kill it with a knife tho you should be nominated king big dick of the zone and instantly become a legend

[alpine river]

would swap that pseudo skin for goldfish but it would tank my hp

[unborn orchid]

I love that shotty, shooting Bloodsuckers and watching them go weeee is beautiful

[alpine river]

legitimately the only concern i had was rad res and even consider freon emission module - was able to make a competetive version with an ACE instead of doody exo, but -15 BR for better ano res was not worth it

[small dust]

can i get back the vanilla armor stat indicators?

[unborn orchid]

I guess they didn't put much.... Skin in the game

[rich spindle]

I love the second funny sound Geiger counter starts doing when your almost always dead 🌲

[hardy dagger]

I adding NPC Die anomalies, but NPC's its a dumb hahahahahaha

[shrewd verge]

u can get like 15 br with max upgrade steel plates

[rugged pecan]

no wonder my x18 run went so shitty, all the enemys where stuck in the room after the first door. Pseudogiant, Psysucker, 4 Polter and the controller all in one room

[hardy dagger]

its funny for me and rebalanced gameplay

[alpine river]

I know, but I prefer extra rupture resist over explosive and impact

[sonic kelp]

Don’t do that then

[drowsy furnace]

Question, what’s the difference between 338. Lapua and 338. Federal?

[unborn orchid]

Artifacts with higher % can be sold at higher price?

[rich spindle]

One hits meat pretty well the other best pen round in game

[frozen grotto]

lapua obilterates stalkers, federal obilterates mutants

[viral raven]

WHY

[alpine river]

especially that with ace suit it only reached 30% with the skin

[gentle pond]

Yeah might need to pop the occasional cystamine but every artifact load out has at least one outstanding drawback it seems. I personally dont prioritize anomaly resistance much

[drowsy furnace]

Ah I see

[sonic kelp]

Cuz it’s making your tummy hurt

[alpine river]

Goldfish would fit so nicely into it, but it drains health and I would have to swap something to compensate for it

[paper tide]

gmod screenshot maker

[slender niche]

Worth using 2/3rds of the B kit to fix this up?

[gentle pond]

Yeah need a kolobok or a good chimera pelt. Kolo would top off rad resist even more tho

[slender niche]

I can live with a little jam chance

[drowsy furnace]

But would federal be better than say 7.62x54 ap wise?

[paper tide]

or alternatively that one death in obra dinn with the cannon going off

[frozen grotto]

no. federal has barely any AP

[drowsy furnace]

Alright

[viral raven]

evill.....

[nova folio]

eh, those are common enough parts but its 50/50 either way

[gentle pond]

Could check if the extra 4 BRC actually makes you immune to any additional AP to decide if you swap to the goldfish set up

[paper pecan]

ak venom literally unusable

[worthy moss]

Deadly anomalies, dangerous mutants, anarchists and bandits... None will stop Duty on its triumphant march towards saving the planet!

[drifting crystal]

depends how dire your situation is

[alpine river]

If i were to put goldfish in, i would have to swap something else too, that's the issue

[paper tide]

the grammar...varias.

[alpine river]

either that, or swap volat with that and put full empty instead of pseudo skin

[unborn orchid]

If you want it, B kit isn't very expensive

[gentle pond]

Yeah im saying if the 4BRC from pseudopelt doesnt actually increase the amount of ap ammo types you resist then it could be worth swapping. You'd go down 5% ballistic res ish but would gain rad resist and weight carried which are both really comfy

[peak otter]

does sakharov not sell psy helmet anymore?

[carmine tide]

I’ll give you a pickle

[radiant dune]

You carve them?

[slender niche]

Okay it does look cool as fuck, 8% chance since I don't wanna commit too hard but I can see it working out

[eager acorn]

yes
its very cool and smooth
also jamming isnt much of an issue

[short pilot]

haha

ALL sliders exept the last 2 are the wrong way. More means less. Complete f up

[quartz prairie]

does anyone know the black sky fix on new save? i remember something about it and theres a fix.

i feel its simple

[gentle pond]

Very counter intuitive lol

[alpine river]

I could've swapped the skin for fireball and that's the best that comes to my mind, but it gives 5% more rupture at expense of electricity and impact res

[slender niche]

Man runs get so much fucking more comfortable with ammo kit
Been running on like 15 9mm FMJ at a time for a while

45 9x18 AP and 31 fmj
Shit like that

[short pilot]

ye everything on 2 it breaks. I can kiss them without anything even when safe time is only 1 seconds
Everything on 0.1, and as soon as their eyes detect me closer then 8m its over

[alpine river]

eventually full empty but it overtanks rad resistances in my book

[rugged pecan]

where is the second door code in x18 ? found 2 scientist corpses but only got one door code

[gentle pond]

Im still in the chimera pelt goldfish camp bc im a quality of life enjoyer. My max tank set up had room to carry like 10kg of stuff had to use epinephrine constantly

[viral raven]

oh?

[gentle pond]

Oh yeah the extra 5% BR is not worth all the downsides at all

[wind pond]

Why is nobody dying to emission anymore? Freedom or bandit or even military just walk around during the event, ruining the immersion

[alpine river]

that's the benefit of pelts, all perks, no drawbacks

especially that full empty nor even compass provide BR

[gentle pond]

My belt set up is currently a 37% lurker pelt and a signet swap for poor man's healing to go faster

[frozen grotto]

all i got its a 35% boar hide and my prayers

[gentle pond]

Bc I got bored of endgame the second I got my noso set up

[umbral cedar]

are there any mods or settings to make footsteps louder. Im cool with some people being quiet but 6 boars charging should not be able to sneak attack me

[wind pond]

tell me about it, ive noticed that too. it wasnt like this.

[frozen grotto]

dont boars make like crazy heavy ass loud footsteps

[burnt dove]

yes

[umbral cedar]

no. completly stealthy

[nova folio]

people start reporting missing footsteps today, kinda odd

[frozen grotto]

no sound at all?
yea man check your headphones

[wind pond]

yeah i think after the recent patches footsteps kinda got fcked

[alpine river]

eventually was thinking about combo - improved surge supressor + volat + eye of oasis + compass + black spray/goldfish, but don't have controller tissue for compass

[prime field]

Ive never felt more autistic than i do right now changing all the lightbulbs in rostok

[burnt dove]

they sound like a horse, like theyre actually pretty loud

[umbral cedar]

you can hear them, but by that time they are already on you

[gentle pond]

So you dont use reshade? Or is one of these an alternative

[umbral cedar]

does anyone now if theres settings? do helmets affect audio?

[frozen grotto]

no, helmets shouldnt. i guess just increase SFX volume?

[gentle pond]

Is there something that determines whether or not a stalker has audible foot steps? They do move like killua on me at times

[nova folio]

the only one i know
snd_efx_reverb_overwrite 0

i doubt its that but its the only one i know

[buoyant trail]

ive noticed missing audio in general in 0.9.5. the controller audio queue just doesn't play like 20% of the time

[elfin pine]

😭 it was meant to be our secret..

[buoyant trail]

chimeras too

[gentle pond]

Gunshots feel a lot quieter than I remember too, like the ones off in the distance

[paper tide]

[frozen grotto]

you can give them better guns but that's about it

Didn't know that. Can you give them better armor too?

[nova folio]

1. dis is good to make em die less
   https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/leadership-aura

2. enable 217- DNPCAV NPCs wear armor you give them (Crash to desktop sometimes with shift transfer) - RavenAscendant in MO2 to make em equip armor

[turbid rose]

Do their armors stay the way it is forever? The way I see it, they'll take 1 hit and die

[alpine river]

wdym you can store them in cloud

[remote fossil]

not in default gamma

[jolly mulch]

not all armors can be exchanged, sometimes there is just no equivalent (I probably butchered that word)

[remote fossil]

yeah their armor stays the same in default gamma

[turbid rose]

I'll give these a go!

[remote fossil]

what is the exact name of the armor you are trying to trade?

[gentle pond]

Itd be funny if fentanyl passively compensated for compass health drain so you could save a belt slot by being the most fent addicted stalker in the zone

[unborn orchid]

Ah, I'll try to find a companion with exo then

[alpine river]

exo suit or proto-exoskeleton?

[exotic whale]

hi guys how we doing

[remote fossil]

it doesnt show up in the Outfit Exchange. it probably cant be exchanged

[gentle pond]

I have an hour of work left I am good

[alpine river]

i think it's the proto-exoskeleton, which is a different type of gear, it'll be a different dialogue option

[gleaming sorrel]

did u guys know if his mod is working, mine is crashing every time i try a new save, itt say it was a "string magazine not found "

[exotic whale]

do they have to be in good condition or can they be broken?

will the -damage% from barrel affect dmg when companion uses it too or no?

I found two perk artifacts, Dragons Eye and Black Angel? Are these OP?
Also, they are at 100% efficiency, is this essentially the condition? How can I repair them if the efficiency goes down?

[frozen grotto]

no

[jolly mulch]

yeah sorry no exchange for that, but proto exos are not worth it anyway (my opinion)

[fast pumice]

Perkifacts. They're all quirky little things that can occasionally be useful. Mostly not.

[gentle pond]

Lmk if im spreading total misinformation btw

[remote fossil]

you can repair perk artifacts using an artifact melter and melting them with other perk artifacts. it works best to repair with the same one

[gentle pond]

Ahah I am

[robust mesa]

My ammo check mod won't happen when i do the designated shortcut, any solutions?

[outer notch]

Thanks guys!

[quasi prairie]

OK Thx

[remote fossil]

a common perk artifact to repair is the phantom star. people will repair it mid-BS run as it starts to get low

[gentle pond]

That makes sense. I've never used it but its always seemed pretty dope if youre creative

[silk badger]

if i leave an area through a travel corridor, save, and come back, will it respawn enemies?
just killed a bunch of mercs with no save point around and i want to make sure i dont have to face them again if i fall back a bit

[gentle pond]

If signet depleted at a rate that makes sense id repair it but at the rate its going i wont need hobo healing by the time its almost done

do supressors have any downsides besides weight? do they make parts wear faster?

i have an m4a1 i stole off of a mercs body and a dream

How functional is the m4a1 in question

[tough saddle]

Stupid newb question incoming: should I disable core 0 after the multithreading was added in? Or does that not do anything anymore

[silk badger]

genuinely everything else i have is basic early game stuff hahaha
the gun is pretty ok, like 5% jam probability and 61% dmg output i think

[alpine river]

the more you know, supressors give flat jam chance, did not knew that

[unborn orchid]

Just give Lenin a prayer and you should be ok

[jolly mulch]

5% is way too high

[gentle pond]

That isn't the worst for a random pick up tbh. 5% still gonna sting tho. What weapon did you start with?

[radiant dune]

Nah it’s just sidorovich packages are heavy as shit, and WT is a long walk to cordon

[jolly mulch]

and 61%& is way too low

[silk badger]

5% is high???
i thought that was good whoops
i have no clue how i get tools or where i get specific gun parts so ive just been running around

[elfin pine]

Its not recommended to do so by the author of the multithreading engine branch

[silk badger]

i started with the sawed-off shotgun and a pistol

[gentle pond]

Running around following the tutorials and doing tasks is the way stalker just have fun w it

[frozen grotto]

no more !core0 😭

[tough saddle]

Is there documentation? I'm having trouble looking for it

[radiant dune]

[elfin pine]

i mean you can always try and see how it is on your end

[frozen grotto]

it may look low but trust me that shit is def jamming on every single gunfight you have

[atomic matrix]

all parts below 80 add jam chance, hence why you should clean parts when they reach that %
barrels on condition lower than 70 have dmg and armor pen reduction

[elfin pine]

But uhh well he says to not do it because the engine shifts threads automatically

[gentle pond]

I jam on like 0.28% way too often I swear the number is lying

[unborn orchid]

Going early to wild territory the worst part is radiation

[atomic matrix]

it is

[elfin pine]

#1467056699683770379 might be a good place to start, same goes for the github page

[tough saddle]

Yeah it doesnt seem to make a difference anymore anyway I was just trying to get the stuttering to stop lol

[gentle pond]

Well at least im not crazy

[elfin pine]

!stutter

[hearty saffron]

@tough saddle
Assuming you are on the latest version of GAMMA, try any one of these at a time (in no particular order) to see if it helps with stutters or microfreezes:

1. Bring your modlist back to default (type !default in #🤖bot-commands )
2. If you have a NVIDIA GPU, you can enable Triple Buffering, and set Low Latency Mode to Ultra in NVIDIA control panel
3. Open Anomaly Launcher via MO2 and tick Prefetch sounds
4. If you have a beefy GPU, use Anomaly (DX11) (no avx)
5. Activate the Turn this on if you stutter mod to alleviate stutters while losing some FPS
6. Consider looking at #╰⚡fps-optimisation for a performance boost, if that channel is locked go here to unlock: #⏩start-confirm
7. In game, go to Settings > Modded Exes > Optimization > Lua Garbage Collector and increase this bit by bit until microstutters/freezes stop. Default value is 300, people seem to find that 750-800 is the sweet spot, this will depend on your hardware

[silk badger]

its genuinely so bad, jams like every second shot lol
ill go back south then and see if i can gather better gun parts and such

[radiant dune]

How it feels to disable suppressor jam chance because it effects integrally suppressed guns too

[elfin pine]

if they’re supported

[jolly mulch]

the queat in question... can you just run there get your stuff and run away? without fighting?

[sonic kelp]

[tough saddle]

holy good bot

[silk badger]

doesn't look like it so far unless i can find a side route
mercs have control of the corridor i'm in and idk how i can get around them

[gentle pond]

You'll want to keep an eye out for guns with green barrels, those you can repair just with parts and no repair kit (which the higher level repair kits are gated behind tools) as a tip you can right click one of the green barrel guns and favorite all the parts you need to fix it up so they'll appear at the top of shops

[forest pawn]

hey does anyone know how to toggle lazer on?

[frozen grotto]

hold L

[silk badger]

did not know that, ill look for good barrel guns in the future
tysm

[forest pawn]

Thanks

[gentle pond]

Of course! Getting a cool green barrel early on is peak stalker

[unborn orchid]

Pay attention to the guns classification A to D you'll require different repair kits. I recommend doing stuff at the cordon and garbage until you get a basic kit and then fix an A or B weapon you like

[radiant dune]

Full green VSS having the suppressor jam chance is bullshit so I turn that suppressor jam shit off

[gentle pond]

Suppressor jam and max repair jam are necessities

[jolly mulch]

try to sprint and get near them and shoot them in the face. if that doesn't work come back later

[turbid rose]

When it comes to companions, does it matter if the weapon I give them is fully repaired?

The mods that disable them that is

[radiant dune]

The suppressor jam chance applying to the integrally suppressed guns is pure malarkey

[astral warren]

thank you duty wtf

[silk badger]

does A-D signify rank/grade (like in school?) or different types of weapons

[radiant dune]

Hideous backpack camo

[jolly mulch]

it really is a game where you can run away and take care of it later

[gentle pond]

Yes but its inverse with d being top tier

[astral warren]

ngl i thought you could choose what it is but you cant and im too lazy to remove it

[silk badger]

so blow their shit smoove off, got it
im gonna try to get out of this area since sid's package is further away and see if i can take another route home

I think there's a bit of a bug in the game, despite the game saying I can't disguise as sin, sinners don't attack me until I attack them

does the gog download of gamma have the latest update?

No

No, but it's easy to update if you want

this means that there's no ''normal'' guns in the black market?

Oh its 51%... that's why i get 2 advanced and no basic tools at all

gog is on 0.9.4, no eta on updat eyet

they do stock normally obtainable guns too, mixed with debug only guns

Why not just follow the install guide here

[hardy dagger]

Does anyone have any suggestions for a realistic enough configuration for Alife Plus? There are some stutters (fewer than before) because the mod creates events at very short intervals, but I didn't understand and didn't get very familiar with the configuration. I persisted with the mod because it has some cool features (like NPCs stealing your safe container, and/or you finding items in safe containers even if they aren't marked).

i mean what he mentioned here: https://youtu.be/3MgxBFoJKMo?t=712

[wanton fulcrum]

You can check with anomaly profiler or look at alifeplus logs, the impact of the mod is very light. The latest version which will be released soon even has an invariant that my load tests don't even pass if any flow exceeded 0.4 ms/second, which means a tenth of one frame depending on the set framerate. The mod does not create events at short intervals and by comparison there are dozens of mods that run heavy calculations in paths that runs 100 times per second.

[hybrid orchid]

And no not the modernised versions

[hybrid orchid]

Is that bald pyro?

[paper pecan]

this one does yeah

[outer notch]

I have noticed that sometimes stash locations dont contain an actual stash anywhere, either im blind or perhaps this is a feature?

[paper pecan]

unicorn gun tho

[unborn orchid]

I have a basic Serdyukov, but I'm not feeling it. Maybe I'll go with some .45 or 9x19

[gentle pond]

They can be tricky to find. Good trick is to add a way point to the stash, right click the way point and click settings, and click add waypoint to the hud

[paper pecan]

oh yeah 9x21 is doodoofart for mutants

[wanton fulcrum]

Any feedback is welcome but - there is no spawning in alifeplus and there is also nothing forced, or depends on what you mean by being forced. Some details may help, you can ask on it dedicated thread.

[gentle pond]

9x21 only comes into play when I find a veresk

[burnt dove]

This game runs way to good. a game running 600 mods has no business running better thant the average AAA release

[hollow mortar]

Sorry for photo quality. In Jupiter I ran into a bunch of controllers. 9 in total, wandering in a group. Is this supposed to happen, or is this a bug? That many controllers are impossible to fight, as their psychic bombardments are incessant and don't leave a window open to shoot. Controllers always tended to be a rare mutant, now they're much more prevalent which robs them of their allure. Is there a way to tone their numbers down, because this completely breaks their encounter design. I cannot fight them when there's no break in their psychic attacks due to the prevalence of their numbers.

[gentle pond]

I've never seen anything like this

[unborn orchid]

Maybe it's an anomaly

[gentle pond]

I found 3 controllers spaced far from each other in red forest once thats as crazy as its been

[remote fossil]

iirc, there was a new "infestation" thing added with Alife? something like that

[hybrid orchid]

How can i make other stalkers equip or take better and more expensive gears? And how can i make a faction stronger and well equipted than other factions?

[paper pecan]

Oh boy can't wait to get to outskirts to experience the congregation of like 20 controllers

[gentle pond]

Damian is here so could ask

[burnt dove]

alife plus is turned off on the latest patch

[wanton fulcrum]

This Claude thing is unnecesary envy to be honest. My mod is backed by a real manifesto showing how each feature is a continuation or implementation of features in original design. Also last time I checked I explained everything in deepest detail whenever I was asked about the reasoning behind each choice or flow. Flaws may exist as in any software, but wont be solved by such feedback.

[unborn orchid]

I did see on garbage a huge lurker infestation, like 10 or so all tried to invade the train yard. Happened once tho so maybe a bug

[eager acorn]

this channel is something everytime i open it

[alpine river]

Hopefully this can be toned down in the ALife+ settings, but I looked and couldn't find anything

[remote fossil]

well you can give weapons to companions. also, in the past, you could drop a weapon on the ground and stalkers will pick them up. otherwise, you cant really affect the default loadouts of stalkers unless you are playing something like warfare mode

[vocal basin]

whats the kebind to swap reticle

guys im not seing the HKMK3 PISTOL on the clear sky start it was removed?

[hybrid orchid]

My common goal on anomaly and gamma being the most trusted and most experienced stalker in the zone, and making other factions befriend with them or ending their wars. I started as loner and tried to make freedom and duty natural relations between them, same goes for loners and bandits.

[remote fossil]

i think resistances are now capped at 90% with this patch

[gentle pond]

Most likely need to update 3dss, can check if it is a 3gb folder or 5kb to confirm in the mods folder

AP does not influence number of spawns or their presence in Brain Scorcher, I don't get where you come up with these things.

[paper pecan]

They stole his textures can't have shit in the zone

[gentle pond]

I reinstalled it manually with mo2 and it restored my nightsword

[orchid kiln]

not in the brain scorcher, outside of it

[gentle pond]

Oh i actually did mean inside the scorcher

[orchid kiln]

ah, what

[gentle pond]

Yeah it was extremely strange

[orchid kiln]

ok, that's an entirely different beast then

[copper locust]

just go to wish granter and wish a world peace - it'll definitely comes true, you'll see

[gentle pond]

Some spawned as i was clearing it and then a bunch spawned after I cleared all spaced out from each other

[orchid kiln]

the only thing that normally spawn in x19 is bloodsuckers

[peak phoenix]

anyone know that is the mods for those new weapons?

[silk badger]

ok so i just got back to rookie village and everyone there immediately lit me up
i accidentally killed a loner yesterday and thought it would be fine but apparently not
is there any way to unfuck this situation

[gentle pond]

3dss and gimp are the two mods that could be the reason it doesn't exist in your game

[orchid kiln]

wait, I think I know what happened

[wanton fulcrum]

AP does not influence number of spawns, anywhere. And the type of spawns is controlled by ZCP as usual. The only features that touch spawns are disabled in GAMMA and do not change what gets spawned, but wiights more towards the dominating faction. So you cannot get the "Chimera in Cordon" ules ZCP spawned it.

[orchid kiln]

It's fucking DAO

[exotic whale]

whaaat

[peak phoenix]

guess i redownload both

[alpine river]

so are the mono squads inside
They are exact copy from SoC, difference being they spawn when you first enter, instead of spawning after turning off the scorcher

[cosmic crow]

QUESTION: How does "repair bonus" work? Like say a tarp has a repair bonus of 10%. What does that mean? Do i need to have it in my inventory or in a workshop? Pls help

[gentle pond]

Really? I had darkness in scorcher too I just figured it got updated

[orchid kiln]

is this for mutants only or both mutants AND stalkers?

[unborn orchid]

I think you. Can pay snitch in rostok

[gentle pond]

Was way harder than it needed to be i was trying to loot on my way out getting lit on fire and pelted with barrels and such

[frozen grotto]

wait a couple days without touching cordon, then come back and pray they are friendly again

[hollow mortar]

that's what I said

[paper pecan]

You consume it along with glue/sewing kit when fixing armor and it adds 10% more durability

[gentle pond]

I woulda been pissed if I was on an ironman

[cosmic crow]

mm okay, do i have to select it while repairing or is it automatically taken out of my inventory

[coral grove]

The type of shit NPC's go through when they hit you with the "Seen better days" dialogue

[unborn orchid]

You could also get missions from barkeep and duty they usually send you to garbage which is noob friendly. Also butcher sells some good ammo for mutants

[paper pecan]

You select it in a pop up window after clicking the glue/sewing kit

[orchid kiln]

because I definitely experienced some weird behavior like exclusively high level ISG and Sin attacking Yanov in unusually high numbers, which does loosely relate to the way AP works, which I loosely grasp lol

[cosmic crow]

Thanks bro

[wanton fulcrum]

It does not matter, its the same. The mod barely had a few minor real bugs like not checking faction change while chasing, cornercases. Yet there is this tendency to just throw blame on it because it handles alife. Also AP has a log that does both tracing and logging. If it does somethign, you see it in the debug log.

[gentle pond]

Keep in mind early on you wanna disassemble the tarp for its military textile to craft backpacks. But yeah you select it before hitting repair

[cosmic crow]

okay thanks

[paper pecan]

Tarps also give plastic film now

[gentle pond]

Glowsticks are so common they keep me sorted on plastic but thats a nice bonus

[mossy dagger]

just found an A1 Aug in a stash cool gun!

[unborn orchid]

You reminded me I need to upgrade me tourist backpack

[wanton fulcrum]

Assumption while full tracing exist is a matter of common sense

[orchid kiln]

well, yes, alife is like this mysterious black box to even technical people, so any mod affecting definitely gonna get some unfair coverage which often does happen in this jenga tower of a game

[cosmic crow]

Do some factions have more NATO gun parts for sale? LIke the technician? I am trying to fix up an m4 at military warehouse

[orchid kiln]

or convenience

[unborn orchid]

Salutations Dagoth Ur, are you keeping the dragonians in check

[paper pecan]

Technician parts stock is always random I believe

[wanton fulcrum]

It's lua, an extremely simple language. There is indeed the matter of xray interaction. Also you can ask me, I always answered.

[remote fossil]

in general, techs offer more parts for sale as you upgrade the toolset you give them. as far as i know, it's random what the parts are

[gentle pond]

Freedom, merc, clear sky and maybe someone else are all nato but I think technician parts dont abide by warsaw/nato

[unborn orchid]

Ransom I get most my stuff from gunman

[mossy dagger]

Yes Nerevar.

[orchid kiln]

the fact is, I didn't have any game breaking problems with it, so I had no reason to report anything, just some observations

[hybrid orchid]

No, world peace will give us hell on earth.

[earnest vessel]

Does anyone know how to stop this happening???? pleease

[brazen ember]

Just found a Vyraj... where am I going to store enough stuff so I can travel out of here 😩

[gentle pond]

Also pro tip if you right click the gun youre searching for parts for you can favorite all parts below 60% so they show at the top of the shops and you know to grab them

Problem is these observation create the wrong impression and also point in the wrong directions. All my mods have full tracing, if you report any issue i can probably find the answer fast.

[orchid kiln]

that's not the problem, I work exclusively in neovim, I know Lua like the back of my hand, most people are not going to go the extra mile to do that though

[coral grove]

i feel like you spend a lot of time defending alife plus just an observation, youve cooked up something great with a couple of kinks, take it ez brother

[brazen ember]

No epi, but I guess I could try doing some cocaine about it, that solves most of my problems

[elfin jacinth]

spoilers for post brain scorcher lore question, ||do we actually know any of the beliefs of sin? is it a noosphere creation or what? i feel like the c-con wouldnt want to spread the zone across the world but im not a super scientist with the brain power of the whole world||

[violet mesa]

where do I find the list of armors that can be exchanged?

[unborn orchid]

I think they are just crazy

[orchid kiln]

I'll definitely try, but you have to understand the common perspective, alife plus was THE big addition to 0.9.5, so it's not really unexpected that people will suspect any oddities are related to it, which is unfair, I admit, but shouldn't dissuade you

[remote fossil]

https://stalker-gamma-db.com/ go to Outfit Exchange

[gleaming sorrel]

anyone can help me fix this??

[wanton fulcrum]

Again, it's written everywhere in the readme, on the dedicated thread and it can be checked in the code. AlifePlus does not handle any spawning.

[eager acorn]

#🔨base-gamma-support

[gleaming sorrel]

thx

[elfin jacinth]

when you shoot them they have that strange effect of impact, and the chain artefact is more potent for sin believers? surely theres some truth to it no?

[slender niche]

Sin for starters is a scrapped faction and I think by far the least we know of (less than ISG I'm pretty sure) so no there's nothing to go off of
Anomaly devs did a decent job giving them an identity considering that

[orchid kiln]

I think it's the opposite, we know a fair bit more about sin than ISG

[silk badger]

when talking to snitch there wasn't even an option to calm the loners down lol
for now im just gonna base in rostok and pray

[elfin jacinth]

they are a really interesting idea for a faction. hoping theres more to look into after updates

[slender niche]

Though why would they be on neutrals terms with the Monolith considering those are mind controlled by the C-Con and do not communicate is beyond me

[orchid kiln]

sin was much more developed when the game was called oblivion lost, while ISG got scrapped like 3 builds in

[elfin jacinth]

yeah i think UNSIG should be mysterious

[unborn orchid]

Stalker 2 missed an opportunity to flesh them out, they are more interesting than the new factions

[orchid kiln]

ISG is not even their name, it was decided by Anomaly devs

[elfin jacinth]

THATS WHAT IM SAYINGG

[slender niche]

ISG are just Westerner Ecologists present without authorization because they didn't want the Ukranian government to gatekeep it's secrets

[orchid kiln]

there is even some dialogue left from when sin controlled AW

and the heads on spikes on the freedom base is also Sin

[burnt dove]

do anabiotics also work against psi storms, or only emissions?

[gentle pond]

Do renegade have any substantial lore or are they just hipster bandits who suddenly have a lot of exos these days

[orchid kiln]

that's the basic premise, yup

[wanton fulcrum]

No, AP has only a feature called "conquer" which is nothing like warfare. Based on personal (not faction) logic and world state, a npc may get to a neutral smart and "own" it, meaning if its faction was in that smart's list, it will be preferred. This means a Duty in Warehouses may cause more duty to appear there, with a decay of 1-2 days. The influence is mild and GAMMA has it disabled anyway.

[elfin jacinth]

lol i love the idea that freedom just smoke a joint and then start eating people

[slender niche]

They're members of other factions that were kicked out either because of treason or they were straight up horrible

[short pilot]

Everything is normal here?!

[gentle pond]

Ahh cool

[slender niche]

In reality the devs needed a low tier enemy faction to introduce the game

[orchid kiln]

ah yes, freedom

[solemn isle]

stalker 2 could elaborate on mercs backstory, who funded them etc. but they didnt.

[gentle pond]

I wouldn't call them low tier anymore the mfs have at least one exo in every party up north

[slender niche]

Ironically Renegades in Gamma are normally better geared than bandits

[remote fossil]

yes, this looks pretty X-ray to me

[elfin jacinth]

in CS they were just another bandit faction made to be slightly lower on the pecking order as a tutorial for great swamps

[slender niche]

@gentle pond Yeah I know

[unborn orchid]

They are the zone equivalent of Cheater Island

[wanton fulcrum]

There are numerous comments from you blaming everything on AP which is absurd, since everything you say has nothing to do with the mod. The mod avoids any kind of redirecting hostility towards bases, does not spawn anything and does not touch any of the issues you are mentioning.

[orchid kiln]

southern monolit

[short pilot]

The moment your boss comes trough the door and your not at your workplace

[buoyant trail]

yes, this is why i said "diet" warfare, and i am aware its disabled, i said as much in the message you replied to

[left temple]

just spawned and a murder of crows follow me, it's getting ominous

[manic frost]

is there any way to set the clock to 12 hour time?

[elfin jacinth]

sin is a cool faction, the cut content rabbit hole is so interesting for soc, love the fact that they had about 25 versions of early dev builds of just trying to make vehicles work

[solemn isle]

I love the Xray engine despite all its bugs, it feels like stalker

[wanton fulcrum]

Bounty Squads are a separate mod, don't know if preent in GAMAM or not. AP has some efatures making bandits that are in your proximity to try to attack you if you looted an artefact, or wait near stashes. It is fully aware of faction relations and mercenaries are not involved, but mostly bandits, renegades etc

[orchid plover]

how do i grow long arms to grab this arti

[orchid kiln]

if that's the case, i apologize, but expecting the GAMMA discord to read the fine print on a mod is already too much, I just did a bit of fermi estimates and removed all the mods which I know their functions and arrived at the conclusion that oddities are from alife plus

[orchid kiln]

which is wrong, apparently, but there is no malice involved

sometimes if you save and reload the artifact will come back down to the ground

[brazen ember]

get the teleporting artefact, wait for a bird to fly by, shoot the bird, teleport up there, hope you survive the fall

[orchid kiln]

also changed the entrance to brain scorcher because it was too easy lmao

(my answer is wishful thinking, don't do this)

im p sure its just ZCP going nuts

[elfin jacinth]

they had such an opportunity after cop to make sin a faction, the idea of the monolith falling after the c-con is destroyed by strelok, then sin moving in would've been such a good idea imo, faust and stalker 2 was not it for me icl

[upbeat pebble]

Finally got to test my new nosorog with 77 BRC and a UNISG dude with a R700 could only tickle me

[eager acorn]

i did point that out before, if it was bounty squads. but more and more people having the same issue after they have AP installed even in 094, so there might be some mix up ig

[elfin jacinth]

theres a reason its abbreviated to BS lol

[dire moss]

i just finished mortal sin with a vraj fully upgraded. idk if i care to push through to afterglow its already piss easy

[orchid kiln]

or in Stalker 2, Monolith remnants devolving into Sin, a faction which worships the zone itself and control mutants would have been infinitely better than the slop we got

[wanton fulcrum]

It is not fine print. I have extensive - readme, documentation, everything is also described ind etail in MCM. I udnerstand it's complex but the complexity is high. I also did respond to any question. I wondered why is this tendency to blame AP of all thing then i just searched and found out all these discussions. Just ask me and i will be happy to respond, prove, explain everything.

[orchid kiln]

again, you expect the average gamba player to read, we had people trying to update when the launcher was dead, and multiple posts, pins and even channel names explicitly citing NOT to install
if you wanna know why there's a tendency to blame alife plus, it's because its got alife in the name, that's literally it

[orchid plover]

Is there a living fire quest quide somewhere?

[thorn island]

Debug fly over to it and pick it up. Sell it for pennies if it bothers you to do that. Better than an arti slot being used up forever on the map

[orchid kiln]

but i feel like you're attributing malice to ignorance here, I won't deny the former exists, but it's mostly the latter in this server

EXACTLYY. after the end of 2 its kind of just what now? monolith was so good because it was real. the things they believed in were real to an extent and the idea of just being afraid to even hear the wish granter. then cop had it crumble in such an interesting way, with them praying to the wish granter desperate for a response. and the cool thing about sin right now is the fact that its hard to tell if their beliefs are grounded in something actually real

[orchid kiln]

but I appreciate you going out of your way to disprove disinfo about the mod, that's good work on your part

[buoyant trail]

nvm im stupid its not in here apparently

[orchid kiln]

stalker was just better when they weren't trying to explain everything

[orchid plover]

yeah i searched those earlier :I and the other youtube videos i found were like 6hr steams without time sections :I

[hardy dagger]

Hey man, how do I make the "sandbox" in your mod more realistic, so that events still happen, but over a slightly longer period (the events never stop, they happen all the time)?

[ocean thistle]

GUYS what mods do you like to pair with gamma?

[wanton fulcrum]

There is no need to aproximate when you can just check. Even by aproximation, unexpected spawns, bases getting wiped - this happened to me in GAMMA even in 0.9.4, it's normal Alife. It happens in vanilla also though ironiclaly LESS than in GAMMA because of ZCP. A giant can appear and wipe peiple, or glitches might happen. Whether if it's caused by AP it can simply seen in its logs. The only way a base might get wiped related to AP is AP making some giant or chimera etc fight some stalker, that stalker runs to base, etc. Which is normal Alife behavior as indended by the original.

[prisma granite]

there are no more ARs with 7.62x54 7n14 ammo?

[wanton fulcrum]

You mean there si too much action?

[hardy dagger]

yep, much action atm

[elfin jacinth]

its what makes anomaly and gamma so good, you arent the centre of the world and shit just happens around you. if you want to be a rat bandit who hides in garbage and jumps rookies you can, if you want to go to the generators you can, if you want to hunt strelok you can. it doesnt need "the guy" to come and save the day and thats what makes the zone so cool.

[hardy dagger]

i need more realism, have actions but not atm or more interval ....I got this with AI help

A-Life Interval: 10
A-Life Ratio: 0
Reactions Budget: 10

Instincts Budget: 8

Consequence Budget: 2
Global Rate Limit: 5

News interval: 120–300s

[alpine river]

Iirc the only options was galil conversion but idk if it was vanilla only, rifles use 7.62x39 or 7.61x55

[unborn orchid]

Stalker 2 everyone talks too much. They killed part of the Zones mystery also wasn't fond on the direction of some characters like the Doctor which was just a mysterious guy that healed everything. I did like Monolith's storyline tho

[wanton fulcrum]

Simplest way is to limit global consequence slider. It's per minute. So if you set it from 5 to 1, you get max 1/minute. That will dramatically decrease the action. Global conseq slider indeed will only affect radiant ones, but those are the ones making the greatest difference. The logic of not also limiting reactive ones was to not complicate the UI more.

[prisma granite]

well, that makes snipers more viable, since 7n14 is so great

[unborn orchid]

Strider was cool too

[orchid kiln]

so let me get this straight, spawns and behavior is not affected by alife plus, just uhh how do I say this, group motivations? overall decisions?

[elfin jacinth]

also how tf i run out of matches

[hardy dagger]

its good here ? @wanton fulcrum

[alpine river]

This is what happens when you combine 2 scenarios with a decade of waiting in between

[remote fossil]

did you smoke a lot of cigs ?

[elfin jacinth]

no i just did brain scorcher so you know i was lighting campfires like a mf

[orchid kiln]

honestly, the zone was good BECAUSE there was so little outside interference, it was just pure ideology pitted against horrors, man against beast, the new factions felt like old factions with a different paint, and the old factions didn't even go away

[unborn orchid]

Yeah, it had one hell of a development cycle so I cut them some slack

[orchid kiln]

i think realistically what happened is they lost too much of the core stalker team

[alpine river]

Although the endings are the biggest mess of them all, all of em are bad more or less, should we get a continuation they would have to ditch all the others through the window

[olive spire]

bruh, i just got 4 yellow stashes, 2 in army warehouses and 2 in dead city, and all of them dropped the drug making kit instead of the advanced toolkit, is this normal? or am i just THAT unlucky

[orchid kiln]

stalker 2 feels like a different game trying too hard to be stalker, but also UE5 is like 50% to blame

[elfin jacinth]

yeah i dont blame them for having all the problems it did, i mean your office is taking icbms in the week and one of your team members dies, id probably quit so massive respect to GSC it was just a shame it turned out that way

[orchid kiln]

working with that engine and trying to make something unique is a nightmare

[prisma granite]

0.96 gamma patch - make gamma into GTA rp

[unborn orchid]

Yeah, it was isolated and untamed, now we understand basically everything which kills the whole identity of the place. The stuff that happens feels less like "is the zone actually alive an how much a consciousness does it have".

[wanton fulcrum]

Exactly. And not randomly but identically to how CSG originally drafted them. Also I am learnignt he xray engine mroe and more, starting comitting fixes in demonized repo, trying to get as close to the "canon". This is why these discussions are weird, especially when everything is documented and I always answered. Also there are some leftover friends of a "rival mod" that stole from me that keep singing the same tune on this forum since march.

[oak swan]

I did not realize there was a static Heart drop in jupiter

Me neither. Not the most helpful cuz you should just craft a 99% anyways but cool still

[leaden breach]

Is there a glitch where the bodies dont spawn on the lost signal quest or is the darkscape just screwing me?

[unborn orchid]

At this point they should stop butchering it and admit their a life sucks. Everywhere you go you find bodies spawning out of thin air

[buoyant trail]

you are just that unlucky

[elfin jacinth]

can you use advanced tools to make basic tool gear?
