Playing in 1080p ?

[coral gull]

@clever badger im playing with a custom reshade rest is with these #old-suggest message

i think i will go back to no-agressor ground textures, not a fan of green (maybe when Yuri finishes his work and does an alternative summer version )

[clever badger]

Nice

[wintry hamlet]

they always stand up, i dont think its for emissions

[quiet cradle]

yeah Rats are programmed to stand up, if they notice something

but they indeed to stand up (sometimes all of them at once) before an Emission happens

so both of you are right

[clever badger]

Rat Lore

Rat Lore

[wintry hamlet]

we should trust the rat himself

[quiet cradle]

I might be the biggest Rat in the Zone yes

[marble harbor]

oh that looks really nice!!

[clever badger]

This looks dope

[wanton delta]

brb making an addon to enable a playable rat faction

[dark brook]

@coral sable Main issue I have with gardener of the zone is that sometimes grass have that "stair" effect like you can see on @coral gull screenshots above

But I think this might be alieviated through higher grass density @coral gull

[teal mirage]

how do you getting that vision when wearing goggles or mask? like on your screenshots

[buoyant pumice]

Yeah it need very high density, using it at detail density 0.14 that's a lot, can be a bit heavy on the cpu

[coral gull]

I play on 0.30 density and 0.93 height still experimenting and yes grass is a resource hog so still searching for magic value

[dim willow]

I really like the way my grass is, i'll post some pics and see if ppl like

[sharp steeple]

i want to know to, cause i don't even have the option on ui/hud

[coral gull]

#old-suggest message <-- enable masks

#old-suggest message <-- 2nd part to replace groks masks with navs masks ( grok are unintrusive, navs are full masks more intrusive )

[coral sable]

Still, i have issues with my monitor (Stalker starts in 1360x768 resolution)

[coral sable]

Yeah, this is related to the Build Details from each map, the grasses in stalkers are basically "papers", when they get into a high angle surface they don't addapt, they remain being a "paper", flat

To fix this i believe i would have to modify all levels throught SDK Level editor, wich i'm very far away to understand

[coral sable]

Just disable GROK no mask textures addon

[coral sable]

Yeah, thats true... the thing is that with lower density, you can notice (much more easy) that the grasses are "papers"

[dim willow]

Exactly this. I keep my density around 75-80% with grass size at 1. Every grass mod needs higher density to look right imo. Ground textures just never looked good in stalker

They are great and detailed. But get so washed out at distance.

[buoyant pumice]

If only this game was not single-threaded, I assume we could have nice layers of grass everywhere and with things like GTR running perfectly

Anomaly pretty much pushes the engine almost to its limits

[dim willow]

Oh for sure. The fact that we get this much out of it already is amazing.

[coral sable]

Exactly, the vanilla Anomaly tries to implement a "seamless" grass texture (hand to see its boundaries) but you lose density. Maybe with the advances of XRAY engine we may see "real grasses" in future instead of the the 2d version

[bright peak]

The amount, the look and no popping up thing I've seen in RDR2 was the greatest thing, that game implemented grass rendering so good. Placing the fog when you go up the hills to trick your eyes while covering up rendering distances.

And the fog was also looking so good

[viscid wind]

It just that there were like 7 rats all standing up right before the emission, i found that curious

[wintry hamlet]

i guess they do from what cain says, but not only for emissions

[clever badger]

What reshade/ground do you use?

[solar nebula]

I wish this map had better performance

[cyan garnet]

took me 10 days to become no.1

[coral gull]

i disable agressor in mo2 (it says reshade but its only ground textures) so it uses autumn no leaves ground textures, for reshade i use a custom one

[clever badger]

Looks real good

[coral gull]

Textures, grass, weather, the reshade? Or all at once?

[clever badger]

All of it

it's a good Mix

[coral gull]

You can get the 90% of the looks like we said before for anybody thats interested, autumn no textures + Yuri gardener of the zone 1.2. I ll try to share the reshade preset when i get more time

[clever badger]

Guarding the fireplace so my comrades can rest for a bit

@coral gull

You Reshade is a little more glamerous but other then that

i think i got it down

[coral gull]

yes i see, whats your grass settings in the picture

[clever badger]

almost maxed density and 1.0

[coral gull]

pull up the console and type r__detail_density and tell me the number

[clever badger]

0.16000

[coral gull]

careful too much grass degrades performance, max i'd go is 0.25, my last screens are on 0.27

and 0.93 height

[clever badger]

I get 120 Fps

I just can't go 2K anymore

it stutters crazy

1080p atm

[coral gull]

then you dont need to worry more

only stutters from increasing resolution is you are maxing vram or ram

also stutters in stalker are normal

[viscid wind]

Testing the summer to autumn GO, red forest looking good

[hybrid summit]

[bright peak]

Ngl that seemed like Tarkov for a sec in little pics.

[versed silo]

Summer to autumn is sometimes just a little too colorful for me, but other than that its indeed really good. I like how it makes the maps actually distinct in terms of flora and also comes with different water textures depending on the type of map

[viscid wind]

Yes I agree, I just visited cordon, and while the coulors are a bit sheerful, the vistas from the bridge looks pretty good

[viscid wind]

Limansk

[mystic zephyr]

true legend

[sacred stag]

Damn, I didn't know Snake signed up for Freedom and rocked those sunglasses.

[wintry hamlet]

@hybrid summit i am not sure who was talking about this or asking but it seems even if you check all pdas before giving them to a trader they have a chance to give stash cords

[outer grove]

Stash coordinates are themselves a part of the 'delivery reward'. You will therefore be "doubly rewarded" for also reading the contents of each PDA before handing them over.

You can also remove their batteries before handing them over for extra mileage.

[wintry hamlet]

nothing goes to waste, nothing

[hybrid summit]

Yeah it probably was something between me and Aldourien

Well I still need to check them, then
Guess I'll still doing it

[sacred stag]

https://tenor.com/view/no-sully-mmm-james-sullivan-monsters-inc-gif-13902856

Jesus, look at those message logs.

You've been saving up so much PDA just for that, what a goal.

[wintry hamlet]

uhhh it takes me a few days in the zone to get those 12 pdas, i usually turn in 20 or more at a time

[clever badger]

after a lot of tweaking i got the game looking good and running good (as good as xray engine can i guess), but is there any options i can mess with to get rid of that?

[bright peak]

Not that I'm aware of. I thought disabling something "culling" would get rid of it but no. Some kind of engine limitation i suppose.

Also did you mainly tinkle with user file? If so, can you share it so i can acknowledge which does what in there?

[clever badger]

nop, sorry. just spent time messing with shaders and configs and gpu stuffs

[bright peak]

Aight, no probs was just wondering.

[clever badger]

here comes the sun tanananan

[quiet cradle]

you sure you didnt just got nuked?

[wintry hamlet]

or forgot to delete shaders cache

https://tenor.com/view/elmo-shrug-不造-i-dont-know-gif-5094560

but probably a pulse

[dark brook]

It's part of the optimisation of the game .

Also, what the fuck are these colors. Go play Skyrim

[hybrid summit]

What the hell does Skyrim have to do with colors man you're killing me
It's so random I love it

[quiet cradle]

considering the work grok puts into dem shaders seeing him gatekeeping some of it gets me every time xD

also its always Skyrim xD

[clever badger]

Stalker shoud look more like this

not whatever Minecraft addon that was

[wintry hamlet]

the amount of people who have said "stalker should look like this" and posted an image of a really dead zone or the complete opposite with too much colors....

[buoyant pumice]

Even in skyrim that much contrast/saturation would look off

[clever badger]

i'd rather it be dead and desolate then vibrant like that one above

[solar nebula]

Different folks, different strokes. I have seen too much "Dead Zone" by now and am loving the vibrant, colorful look rn

[wintry hamlet]

vanilla anomaly looks just fine so please stop trying to convince us play either a really dead and depressing black and white or a way too colorful kids show

[clever badger]

i've never played with modded textures so this looks real good

who said vanilla looks bad

[solar nebula]

Every texture pack in existence has been "dead zone" or autumn styled, except Inverno maybe. I am reaaally looking forward to GTR release It's gonna be the texturepack

[clever badger]

what is GTR

[solar nebula]

Global Texture Rework

[buoyant pumice]

more like gsr global stuttering rework

[clever badger]

[solar nebula]

It's in beta, what did you expect lol

[buoyant pumice]

Just joking not trying to blame lol

But more seriously running this on a single threaded game... Don't have much hope to get this thing working smooth

[solar nebula]

It can run smooth on most maps, you just have to find the setup which works best for you. And you need to be willing to make compromises for the sake of performance

I play without ES and it boosts my FPS by around 15-20 on some maps

[buoyant pumice]

Yeah thats true. Some prefer graphics over frames, thats matter of preferences

[versed silo]

The vibrance on Goldstein's screen is way too insane, but on the other hand some of the ''dead zone'' addons make the zone look like some kind of generic post apocalyptic wasteland, which doesnt really fit Stalker either imo

[wintry hamlet]

a good middle ground works just fine, but some people really just like the dark or the really colorful

ah yes the classic "late 2000s shit smeared color grading" look. i know that look has it's place, but i honestly am tired of it.

It's a super-boar from dynamic mutants addon

[agile narwhal]

Yes, dynamic mutants

[sinful vector]

THANK YOU BASED RNGESUS

I just repaired and upgraded my pathfinder suit though fuck

[quiet cradle]

well hitting a jackpot after the other is still pretty damn good tho

[sinful vector]

I have set suit and helmet drops set at 100% chance but they all drop torn to shit in MCM options

so it's not a 'jackpot' and more of a 'finally a NPC wearing that armor spawned'

[quiet cradle]

aaaaah

well swimming in parts has its merits

[clever badger]

i have no idea what that achievement is

[clever badger]

Complete all 3 Storylines without Dying more then once

on Ironman

[jovial cedar]

It's because the condition of dropped suits actually depends on the death_generic.ltx rather than the MCM settings like weapons

[jovial cedar]

Congratulations ! You earned it fair & square

[sinful vector]

oh ok I don't mind that, I actually like that they drop torn to shit, it makes sense since they just got shot to bits by my bullet hose

[clever badger]

[jovial cedar]

Well, I changed these options a bit for the sake of muh immersion xD I mean, having masters & legends dropping novice's level of suit condition wasn't making much sense realistically

[sinful vector]

dang gg

I could never do this ngl

[clever badger]

I had 8 attempts at this by the way

[sinful vector]

I don't have the patience for iron man I just ninja run everywhere

oof

[clever badger]

You mostly die in the beginning

so it's not that much of a loss

[sinful vector]

true but there is always something or a brain fart that kills me at some point

like half an hour ago

I was playing, psi storm starts, nbd since I am running as always

I change levels from red forest to limansk during the psi storm

in limansk I spawn in the middle of a 8 man merc squad in the tunnel

I survived the encounter, barely

[clever badger]

lol

[sinful vector]

those things happen and I can't be bothered to play ironman because of it

weirdly enough right after that mercs and loners had a cease fire

[clever badger]

I think my next run will be more oriented on a Challenge

for example Renegade

Ironman ofcourse

[jovial cedar]

Would be funny as a zombie though x)

Although, not practical

[clever badger]

Or trying to get trough the Zone by being a scummy Loner

and killing your own without Stealth

[jovial cedar]

You described a renegade member, according to the anomaly lore, they're the lowest scum of the zone

But yeah, going around backstabbing everyone and come out on top would be fun x)

[jovial cedar]

Maybe we should have a specific pantheon channel here for the invictus winners, would not see much activity but that's for everyone to admire, achievement + endgame equipment shown and stuff

[agile narwhal]

What texture pack are you using?

[coral gull]

search for gardener of the zone on moddb

[tame elk]

messed something up with my shaders and now the sun is a fucking nuke

nice man. I got it the other day after 11 attempts

[hybrid summit]

So technically you are the first one, not @clever badger

[sick portal]

I was trying to work out what you meant until i read the announcements

[hybrid summit]

Yeah sorry, I should have been a little more specific

[sick portal]

I lost a life near the end of mortal sin so it was pretty damn tense running through operation afterglow. Not to mention my run nearly came to an end because of the Duty expansion mod causing a crash during the first chernobog encounter

[warm kraken]

and died on the rookie village siege

Do you run custom user.ltx values or color grading/tonemap values ? Your screenshots have perfect lighting

[quiet cradle]

so where do them all come from?

[outer grove]

Ukraine, maybe?

[quiet cradle]

Fair enough, it was just that it was me and the bois, I go get my coffee while waiting for the storm to go by and coming back to what ever this covid convention was xD

[coral sable]

I use custom Wheater and lightining presets (From ASR modpack (misery mod))

[buoyant pumice]

I'm using those weathers too, but not the custom ones, and without the skyboxes, they look very good. Did you take the user.ltx shader_param values from ASR ?

[coral sable]

No, i'm using the User.ltx from Gamma

You know how to get it? its comes in the files of Gamma

[buoyant pumice]

Yep using it atm

I thought you modified some lumscale values at first. I feel like on clear weathers with autumn mods and gardener, sometimes lighting look a bit off

[outer grove]

Very cool.

[quiet cradle]

never noticed this one

looks like the EFP texture pack maybe ?

[jovial cedar]

Yup, taken on EFP discord, it's called "EFP 3.0 REWORK HD - Texture Pack"

[wanton delta]

Yeah i use it too. it's incredible and even incrases my fps.

[hasty widget]

Is there anything I can do to get rid of this reflection issue with a lot of the efp hd textures

[wintry hamlet]

if its the EFP textures wouldnt it make more sense to ask on their discord ?

you would probably get more help there

[hasty widget]

I never bothered joining lol probably a better Idea to go there thx

[wanton delta]

Did you download 2.5 or 3.0? 2.5 has those issues i think. I had issues with 2.5 particularly in the warehouse in garbage, which 3.0 fixes.

[dim willow]

Got any explosives stalker?

[vernal robin]

Hmmmm.

[jovial cedar]

@dark brook For the EFP textures pack, I actually put some ground files to hidden in MO2, then use Autumn Dark as a base, then put Simple Autumn No Leaves, then Desaturated on top of it, then Summer to Autumn's default ground (without any texture ticked in the installation) then overwrite the trees with Autumn Dark's trees again, that way, no green trees in the swamp, and I get a perfectly harmonized Autumn with no blending issues

[dark brook]

Ok. Take an unmodified screenshot somewhere and tell me where it is and which weather + time

[wanton delta]

You see, what i cannot fathom is how someone can get almost a million currency within 1 week. At that point it's like, what value does money even have? When you can buy literally everything and just steamroll the game? This is why i keep harping on about the difficulties and economy in gamma. Money has no value, and there's just such an absolute massive abundance of it to the point it serves no real barrier to difficulty. IMO there should be a hard look at economy as far as money goes. Unless you just hacked in the money.. But do you care to share how you got almost 1mil so quick? What is your main source of money income?

In my playthrough with a tonne of difficulty settings changes, in 1 week game time i've had collectively just over 100k or so, and everything costs a shit load so that 100k doesn't go very far at all. I only just got medium armor repair kit, because my rad prot. was arse, and it was chewing up so much resources, but i was always so broke. Primary way of making money is looting mutants and selling the stuff, and a lot of repeatable missions, (which don't give much money at all in my game difficulty settings). Everything costs so much, that i have to actually decide if i have to buy it or if i can settle for sub-tier stuff by other means, such as stashes, find it in loot, repair it, but the point is it becomes a real juggle between decisions. "Am i going to keep burning through limited anti-rad sources or am i going to try to make a half-repaired gas mask" I even started the game with APS pistol which i used for the first week as my primary weapon, because the bullets for anything else were so expensive or not viable to find, craft or source as a reliable ammo due to the caliber being rarer or more difficult to craft. I only just got my first actual weapon, which was an AK that i had to spend half my money repairing, which the resources took a really long time to get because they were so rare and/or expensive, or traders outright didnt stock them at all due to the limitations i put on my game.

[bright peak]

Dam, so many words

[wanton delta]

yeah sorry man, feeling pretty philosophical.

[bright peak]

One of those days ha

[jovial cedar]

Actually, I can do a few, is there one place, weather & time you would want to see in particular as a point of comparison ?

[dark brook]

Just take a nice shot 😉 and give me the info. No place in particular

[jovial cedar]

Alright, will do

[clever badger]

hey fella, mind telling me what settings youre using? reshades and any other graphical settings.

[minor jasper]

EFP 3.0 Texture pack with lowest priority followed by Summer to Autumn Textures for ground and flora, or Autumn Darker if its too colorful overwritting all the Trees.

For the Reashade I used Expedition and then heavily modified it to remove all the blown out midtones and horrible horrible bloom setting. Then I add Pascal Gilchers Ray Tracing Global Illumination (this runs together with SSDO in the settings, kills fps though need a beefy pc for it. Can be replaced by PPFX SSDO but I'm not a fan of it.)

The RTGI shaders you would need to get off of Pascal Gilchers Patreon for like 4$

This runs about 60 to 65 Fps on 3440x1440p on a 6800XT with a i7-9700 so you do lose a load of fps to have it look like that.

[clever badger]

nice, thanks!

[jovial cedar]

@dark brook Here are the screenshots, you can find the details on the pictures for the weathers & time of the day

[dark brook]

[dark brook]

Do you have the locations as well ?

[hasty widget]

even with quest rewards set to low I just spam quests. I have max rep with ecol, loner, and clear sky from it as well

[jovial cedar]

1 & 2: Great Swamps
3: Cordon
4 & 6: Garbage
5: Dark Valley
7: Agroprom
8: Yantar
9: Army Warehouses
10: Red Forest

Do you need precise locations as well ?

[dark brook]

Thanks, no it's fine 🙂

[clever badger]

that looks astonishing

i need to get that setup

[jovial cedar]

Which one ? x)

[clever badger]

yours!

[long grail]

These look great on the technical level but I can't help but wonder what it does to the level variety. Everything looks roughly the same and it is all brown.

Nothing against people who enjoy this aesthetic, but I like the current splashes of colour in GAMMA a lot more. Although there are some some low-quality textures, especially on Jupiter.

[jovial cedar]

Well, I have a archive with all modifications made for the Autumn to look like the screenshots if you want

[jovial cedar]

I only applied the EFP 3.0 Texture Pack & Made a pack with different Autumn mods to get this result, I don't know much regarding low quality textures, sometimes, it's really about the lighting at the time of the screenshot. I can understand the need for colours here and there though

The variety is not really on the color level, rather, the type of grass & trees. Ideally, I would have wanted something like Absolute Nature 2 for Clear Sky, a pack which let you select the aspect of each map, be it dead, autumn, green, etc

Jupiter though ? I haven't taken screenshots there, but I did notice it was not really a high texture map

[clever badger]

that'd be immensely appreciated

[jovial cedar]

I'll message you about it

[clever badger]

[hybrid summit]

If it is for GAMMA, you can send it here as well
If it's something like a mod (so like a zip) you can also post in #🖇old-mods-posting with a brief description

[jovial cedar]

The thing is, I can't just upload the work of others like that, it contains textures from Autumn Dark, Summer to Autumn & Simple Autumn Retexture

[hybrid summit]

Oh okay, don't do it then

[jovial cedar]

I can explain how to do it though

[hybrid summit]

Yeah why not

[jovial cedar]

In fact, the message on how to do it is up there, from yesterday

It's the one to which Grok replied, thus asking for screenshots

Other solution : I add a readme crediting all the authors and link to their mods, then upload it on mega as private link for people wanting to try

Although, not sure if it's actually permited

[hybrid summit]

We need @dark brook on this one

We already have the channel where people create mods or patches for mods that aren't compatible with GAMMA with credits and links to the actual mod but I don't know about this one

[dark brook]

This should be enough. You can repack if you want...

[jovial cedar]

Alright, I'll do the package then

Now I just need to come up with a good name x)

"Absolute Autumn Seasonal Rebalance Overhaul Redux", nah, just kidding

[minor jasper]

I've just had the most immersive 45 minutes in the Truck Cemetery. Probably the best stalker experience I've ever had.

Going to Rostok for a package delivery from Dark Valley in the dead of night. 5 minutes into the cemetery me and my buddy Ayven Time get ambushed by a Bloodsucker, had the night vision googles on and all. Didn't even scratch us.
I decide to go pick up a stash in the top right corner of the cemetery without knowing that's a renegade base. We get ambushed and still annihilate them. Start looting the bodies and one bandit sneaks up and me and Ayven just pops him before he managed to shoot me.
A minute later an emission hits and we hide in the bandit camp. Meanwhile a lone lieutenant runs into the little trailer we were hiding in, smacks me in the face and i just pump him full of lead.

God damn, this modpack breathes life into this game.

[dim willow]

My man. Always out camping.

[outer grove]

Yep. He may be a Hermit, but at least nobody's going to shoot at him.

[dim willow]

My tent always buggin out on me.

[outer grove]

Tents are always bugging out.

[dim willow]

Glad I'm not alone.

I wish it were bigger.

[outer grove]

See these gymnastics I had to pull off.

Could barely put the tent back in the bag.

[dim willow]

Stalkers don't shoot through it?

[outer grove]

Counts as collision, so no.

[dim willow]

Hmmmm.

[outer grove]

Or well.. They probably can shoot through it, but they can't see you inside it.

[dim willow]

Still very important

I used to have mine on top of the big building at the Renegade camp in truck cemetery.

Then I found out mutants still climb ladders...

[outer grove]

[dim willow]

I got jumped by boars while sorting my loot.

I was like "oh ill deal with those in a minute"

Nope

Completely understandable when considering the lore.

[dim willow]

[midnight monolith]

damn, I randomly met the top 2 dude just as I get in the warehouses for the first time

ah he has an awful reputation that explains why he's at the duty outpost

he also has a buddy who's in the top 100s

I just realized the pda also tells you where they were last seen so you can hunt them to get the first place

[midnight monolith]

I decided to clear the zombie wave coming from radar, but holy shit I didn't expect this many to appear

among the corpses were also dead freedomers, including a guy I revived not one but three times

I'm never reviving anyone ever again

Here’s the loot. Found three stashes and fought two monolith so I got this cool m4 tactical and my first exo ( even better it’s a nosorog )

[torpid mauve]

[long grail]

I've had emission hit just as me and Hip were rolling up to the main entrance of the Monolith base in Radar. Had to scramble and push for cover through a couple of their squads, and that was intense. Burned a lot of ammo that night, and had to almost exclusively use my shotgun when retreating from the Brain Scorcher.

That entire mission was a massive clusterfuck start to finish, but yes — it was probably the most fun I've ever had with STALKER.

[long grail]

It's actually a quest in the Bar, so yes.

[midnight monolith]

Yeah I knew about that quest, but I didn't know you didn't need it to hunt them

So you can do that on factions hostile to duty

[low sonnet]

Buddy...you haven't seen shit

Ikilled

100 zombies or so,in duty base

With only an axe

And my legs were still there >~>

I only got hit ONCE

[midnight monolith]

yeah they cant aim for shit when you walk to their face

[low sonnet]

True xD

But those poor souls had to be taken out in some way

[midnight monolith]

axe and shotgun ap slugs are very effective when they wear exos

[low sonnet]

True

But i mean, there were kinda more then just zombies ngl

There was one running zombie or two too

Maybe some burers

Ffs idk how many mutants there were

The whole rostok was felt filled with those assholes!

[abstract burrow]

they do move in herds!

[long grail]

Yeah, that's a double or even triple pod. Wait until you get a Monolith spawn like that. Was good fun in Limansk, if it wasn't for a squad of mercs nearby — I don't think I'd have made it.

big mood bro, big mood

[clever badger]

doing my first missions get 2 chimeras

cant even skin them with my axe

[dim willow]

Lolol

[quiet cradle]

you need a knife for skinning

[outer grove]

Try to field dress a real animal with an axe. You won't be able to do it.

[quiet cradle]

well you would with a lot of "yop svoyu mamu" and not actually wanting to get anything out of it, compared to the appropriate tool. But yeah using an Axe for skinning and quartering an animal is more than sup optimal (maybe for be bones but still)

[outer grove]

I think you meant "yob tvoyu mat"
ёб твою мать!

[quiet cradle]

sorry for writing it the way you would write the pronunciation in the language i actually have to speak (in a more "friendly way i give it what), but yeah you aint wrong about that

tho on an unrelated note, my mom always says "we can do that, we only need a hammer and a lot of ёб твою мать!"

[outer grove]

Sounds about right.

[quiet cradle]

my mom has to be one of the sweetest persons i know and hearing her swear in russian is either the funniest or scariest shit ever

[midnight monolith]

if Boris can cook with a fucking axe I should be able to get my own meat with one

[wintry hamlet]

you can have a knife in your inventory and you wont have to equip it to skin

so you can use the axe as a melee weapon still

[midnight monolith]

Ik you can also just keep the hunting kit too

also allows you to use it as a stash

[outer grove]

Using an Axe to cook is very different from trying to field dress. Don't make false equivalencies.

[clever badger]

is that the new Graphic mod?

Ah, so you can't have it equipped in the inventory slot, right? It has to be in your backpack? I was wondering why this feature didn't work for me.

[wintry hamlet]

the knife can be anywhere in your inventory and you dont have to equip it to skin mutants

[agile narwhal]

Thanks, will check again, but having the knife in the knife slot, and trying to skin without having the knife in my hand didn't work so far.

[dark brook]

You can simply have it in your inventory

If you activate FDDA mutant skinning animations, I don't know though

[iron spindle]

[wintry hamlet]

sleep and come back after an emission and hope its gone

also dont stay near it for too long, it drains your thirst really fast

[dark brook]

Jump over it

Or allow the dynamic pop on and off in DAO MCM

Activate it with a bolt and run through while its recharging

[opal birch]

nav's masks made them an year ago

[long grail]

The way that sight is placed on AK in the latter three pictures really bugs me. AK is already a high weapon with a low stock, you don't need to make the sight higher — that's for AR derivatives. IRL that sight would likely be at your forehead level when holding the AK in the correct firing position.

Sorry, it just really annoys me in this game, lol.

[torpid mauve]

[ashen sand]

I mean, that optic is made specifically for AKs, and russian doctrine for how they hold them is different than the way western nations used to do. Added optic height also aids in passive aiming when using night vision. Sry to derail i just felt that deserved some clarification.

It doesn't.

Nope. Using the game's own screenshot function doesn't affect FOV at all.

I've checked all over the tree

[mystic zephyr]

Does it just say "stash" in your pda or give more thorough details?

I have had one bugged stash in Jupiter as well where it tagged a pseudogiant as a stash somehow but that doesn't appear to be the case here

[vernal robin]

Description reads: "I've got something interesting for you. There's a stash hidden away over at Red Forest. I haven't had the chance to investigate yet. Hope it's full of expensive gear or artefacts"

Which makes no fucking sense, because it's marked in jupiter.

I think for my next Invictus in the future (1.0 pls pls pls 🙏 ) i'll limit myself to some kind of scheme. Wanted to go Merc, Only Nato Weapons, No 7.62x51 or higher, no Exo. However, i can use a Nosorog IF it's from my own Faction

[cunning bison]

invictus is an achievement, right?

[wintry hamlet]

yes

[cunning bison]

what about

[cunning bison]

also @wintry hamlet

this might be a stupid question for the amount of times ive played this game but

does ironman save as soon as you leave the game and then when loading back the save it deletes itself?

[wintry hamlet]

if you lose all lives the saves just disappear instantly

[cunning bison]

because if you play with 1 life and life granter off i dont see how you would be able to get back into the game after quitting

[cunning bison]

i know that

i just wanna know if the game saves upon leaving

[ornate sonnet]

If you quit, you don't lose the save

It's only when you die out of lives

[wintry hamlet]

i am confused

[cunning bison]

thats

[ornate sonnet]

I think Ghosty wants to know if you leaving the game causes the Ironman to save

[cunning bison]

partially what i wanted to know

[cunning bison]

yes thats it

because i dont wanna do a full 1 sitting playthrough of ironman with 1 life and life granter off (for example)

because i assume leaving will just

[wintry hamlet]

you save and load normally, it does not save when you quit and you dont lose the save unless you lose all lives

[cunning bison]

get me back to when i started the game

[ornate sonnet]

You'll have to manually save but you'll load back

[wintry hamlet]

its a normal playthrough but limited lives

[ornate sonnet]

Invictus in 1 sitting

[cunning bison]

yeah im just wondering if the game autosaves when leaving or not

because if it doesnt, i guess im forced to play with life granter

and by leaving i mean

quitting to desktop

[ornate sonnet]

The game doesn't autosave when you quit the game, you'll have to do a quicksave/manual save

But it won't get deleted just because you closed the game

[cunning bison]

and that uses a save

right?

[ornate sonnet]

No

You lose your saves when you lose your lives

[wintry hamlet]

saves are unlimited

[ornate sonnet]

And you lose a life when you die

[cunning bison]

oh god im retarded

i forgot ironman only affects lives

💀

ive been playing YACS too long

• other games which work similarly to what i was talking about

[agile narwhal]

Yeah, you can still save your ass by a quick load if you have fast enough fingers xd

[cunning bison]

nah i aint that type of guy

if i die its a skill issue

[ornate sonnet]

Came across the funky insta-kill anomaly that spawns Poltergeists

[cunning bison]

i met like

4 of those in red forest

south entrance from warehouses

and i had to fight the monolith outpost

was fun

(it wasnt)

[ornate sonnet]

Yeah when you're on 1 life and this thing shows up in the middle of a firefight, it isn't a pretty sight

[cunning bison]

but yeah i was basically sort of like

changing the ironman life system to saves

and i didnt even realize

so for that reason, my apologies for being an airhead

[ornate sonnet]

[cunning bison]

(thinking of it and talking about it the other way around)

appreciate the patience tho

[outer grove]

Nice.

[balmy steeple]

Yep!

[cunning bison]

sorry for the hud "leftovers"

[wintry hamlet]

press numpad enter for those

[cunning bison]

it dont matter tho, still got a sick ass pic

been working so long today to try and get a really good looking game

i think i achieved a mix between performance, playability and also beautifulness
