[viscid tendon]

yup, i dont know the specifics though

[viscid sparrow]

G.A.M.M.A. Full Condition Displayer is an idependent addon or its inside another addon? I cant find it in my mod list, maybe is because of that I cant see items 100% condition with left alt.

[viscid tendon]

any way to make the body health UI display over the vanilla NVG's?

[graceful iron]

its left ctrl

[viscid sparrow]

It does nothing, my guys just crouch

[graceful iron]

hold left ctrl and hover with your mouse over a damaged suit or helmet

it should show you the full stats of the item

[viscid sparrow]

For gamma do you use anomaly 1.5.1 or 1.5.2?

[viscid tendon]

1.5.1

[viscid sparrow]

OKk im fine in that xD

[viscid sparrow]

Weapons also?

[graceful iron]

no. weapon stats dont change with condition

[viscid sparrow]

oh god im a shi**head LOL

i thought it changed, sorry for the troubles xD

and ty for the help, one love <3

[graceful iron]

the damage changes with the barrel's condition specifically, but its shown on the side of the barrel's condition in a %

[viscid sparrow]

[shell badger]

how do I fix this?

[unborn linden]

So i was watching a playthrough of an earlier version of gamma, and in the version i was watching everything seemed alot greener and more lively. My version seems to be very brown and darker like normal stalker. Is this like an optional environment mod or something that adds lots of nice grass and green trees because i want to know how to get that.

How to bring back the default look for the Zone: #╭📖faq message

[unborn linden]

tahnk you i will try dis

[potent kestrel]

So installed a couple of add-ons nothing too fancy just the snow mod and one to make footprints a but louder and I shut off a few of the gamma mods but now my game crashes whenever I'm shot anyone know why?

[willow hawk]

Cause you disabled other add-ons maybe ?

Also for the snow mod: #custom-textures

Follow what's there

Also, ask your questions in #🔨modded-gamma-support

[potent kestrel]

ah sorry ty

[wraith moat]

I have all the mod boxes unchecked and I don't know which ones I have to check

help pls

[honest tendon]

anyone have the Merc lottery loot pool? Is the Merc SEVA still in there?

[north turret]

I don't know of a faster fix but if you've got all the mods downloaded then just delete GAMMA profile in MO2 profiles folder and put this there instead. This is the default GAMMA mod order.

(I hope it works if not I should slow down with the beer tonite)

[north turret]

Most likely no, it's mainly artefacts, ammo, grenades, a couple of guns.

[viscid tendon]

can someone give me a screenshot of their game in 1080x1920 res, with the body ui visible?

[wraith moat]

Where do i need to put this?

[viscid tendon]

thanku

[north turret]

In the directory where you've got GAMMA data/MO2. There's a folder profiles. Unzip what I've gave you and put the GAMMA folder there, just delete the old one.

Then launch MO2 and try selecting the profile

[potent kestrel]

no

[wraith moat]

it works. tanku

[potent kestrel]

for 30 monolith patches (Its not fifty anymore) You can get a MP7, a deagle with ACOG, a fully automatic .45 pistol, a bat, 3 full empties with LLC, or a couple other artificats

[honest tendon]

what's your favorite?

ive been savescumming the lottery for a while and I can't decide

[north turret]

Good, that means I can keep my beers coming tonite

[north turret]

You mean the lottery guns? Mine personally is an MP7 out of all of them. It depends though what you're going to use given guns for. The most universal one would be MP7 but for killing mutants that would be the .45 pistol. The deagle is a bit meh in my opinion.

[honest tendon]

might switch up my build to run an mp7 just cuz screw it

[wary field]

Did gamma use this as a soundtrack at some point? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAASUvriKSI

[unkempt quarry]

does any ones else game crash sometimes when they kill a technician?

[honest tendon]

didn't crash when I capped Mangun, but he's the only one

[north turret]

Sometimes it does, that's why I try not to kill them in general.

[unkempt quarry]

alright well it seems to work fine after i load the game back up and then i can kill em without the game crashing its just the initial time i kill them where it will crash

[sleek delta]

Hey, so I have just found a very weird bug, so basically there are bandits quite literally surrounding me, they just run up to me, not shooting once and then they just keep running in circles around me, this gaggle fuck is frankly concerning

[unkempt quarry]

they like you

[sleek delta]

Not that I look at this image more closely its pretty comical

[real copper]

Can any pros tell me their favorite, fairly common mutant shotgun? I know the modpack changes damage so I'm wondering what everyone's go go is. The starter TOZ-34 is absolutely handicapping me against mutants.

[versed tusk]

depends. do you want pump, semi, auto or mags?

[real copper]

Pump or semi is probably ideal.

[versed tusk]

if semi, then Carabineer or Spas

I dont do pumps often

Carabineer has sight options and a silencer - Spass holds more rounds and turns into auto lategame but no sights

Oh and Saiga, fast reload with mags

those are pree much the best semis imho

all 3 also not too rare

but overall, regardless what you choose - shotties are the most versatile tool

[lyric steeple]

newb question: can I create water? do i need something specific to craft it? or is it purely a buy thing?

[real copper]

Is the Carabineer available? I thought that was a unique variant in CoP? It can found (I'm assuming military) in multiple places?

[smoky dust]

i opened somethink called quickslot how do i get back to my inventory?

[real copper]

I'll look for Spaz and Saiga. Essentially the same go to as vanilla. Gonna be a lot harder to obtain though. Gonna have to get the drop on military.

[versed tusk]

It is available - found mine early on Renegades in Swamps. basically a custom m153

[real copper]

On a Renegade? Huh. Well that's good to know. Thanks.

[versed tusk]

just look for a good barrel, the rest is pretty easy to obtain

i also saw carabineer on military, freedom and monos

but I am never 100% if i remember it right

[smoky dust]

guys what do i press? google wont help i opened quickslot and now i cant see my inventory

[versed tusk]

i dont know what you mean with quickslot

[smoky dust]

this is all i see

i clicked something in my inventory

[real copper]

@versed tusk Thanks. Now this is unrelated but what companion mods are added? If you don't know, don't worry about it but I finally got Hip and I'm too lazy to look at companions to see how much has changed. I'll just have to scour the modlist for 20 mins.

[versed tusk]

i never do companions

i hate em with passion

[smoky dust]

i figured it out

[versed tusk]

did you use the quick-release?

[smoky dust]

yeah thats it

[lyric steeple]

seems they are useful mules.

[versed tusk]

[smoky dust]

XD

[lyric steeple]

OO you dropped your backpack @smoky dust

[smoky dust]

yeee i found it 😄 thanks guys ^^

[lyric steeple]

the quick release drops it on the ground

the button should be a hotkey in your controls

[real copper]

I looked through the mod list. Found a couple of them. Apparently companions are tougher. That's what I wanted to know. Before they'd die too easily.

Also I take companions because labs are scary and I'm a big baby

Kekw

[lyric steeple]

lol

[versed tusk]

fair

[lyric steeple]

is water a thing that can be crafted? or is it only purchased/found?

[versed tusk]

buy it, super cheap

[lyric steeple]

rgr!

[versed tusk]

cantines for cooking, bottles for traversal

[lyric steeple]

i have heard that, why specifically?

[versed tusk]

purified food gives extra buffs and lasts longer

vodka and water for cooking - especially higher tier meats

but it'll take you till you buy the better cooker etc - so at the start its fine to cook without water

[lyric steeple]

yeah seems, i can make it without, and just drink some water to clear the toxic

[versed tusk]

mhm, it'll be worth it later on. at least I rly like the duration and buffs

in the hobo phase its scavenege and live frugal

[lyric steeple]

makes sense.

thanxs for the info! 🙂

played for the first real time last night.

got my first half dozen deaths 🙂

bullets hurt it seems

any of you crazy kids get stalker gamma running on steamdeck?

[dull nymph]

Anyone know why my multi-fuel stove isn't getting a Flammable (all) status from the campfire?

[silk hinge]

I think that one is only for fuels

[dull nymph]

I just looked and saw this was asked a couple weeks ago, thank you!

I'll cough up for some kerosene when I'm not in hobo-mode

[coarse pine]

wait if i make a stash from my backpack, is the backpack lost forever

[stuck sun]

No. If you press the "Take All" button it takes the backpack as well

[versed tusk]

save kerosine for weapon cleaning

use gasoline

[stuck sun]

Can only be a good idea

[coarse pine]

ah, first time i did it the stash stayed, but now i reloaded the save and it worked. thanks

[stuck sun]

Is there a way to wipe all active stashes from the map in one go?

[real copper]

So I'm still trying to tackle and learn the repair system as the modpack forces you to do so. I'm getting there slowly, as finding parts is proving difficult but maintaining is easy.

So, I repair a firearm to 100%, but the parts are still busted. What'd the difference between a 50% gun and a 100% gun with the same level parts? Does it just tell you how clean the gun is and is used a parts damage modifier?

Also, I guess low quality parts found in the world are practically useless, as there are no repair items for them?

[lyric steeple]

you can repair parts too

[real copper]

I can tell the repair system is deceptively simple, it'd the memorization of repair items that make it hard.

[lyric steeple]

if you mouse over the item you want to repair, when talking to a vendor, it will highlight the items that can be used to repair

[stuck sun]

A fresh gun vs a dirty gun. The dirtier a gun is, the faster the parts will break down. Parts can be repairs to full, even while insdie the gun. Field stripping allows you to repair all parts except the barrel (which requires a specific gun tool kit)

[real copper]

So the individual parts inside the gun can be repaired and not the entirety of the gun (which I'm assuming does nothing to help with damage and weapon jamming)?

[lyric steeple]

you can repair both

[real copper]

I mean at a vendor

[stuck sun]

Correct, the condition bar under the actual gun is meant to show how dirty your parts are about to get

[stuck sun]

Vendor will not repair parts, but sells the items needed for you to do it yourself

[real copper]

@stuck sun Okay. And can low quality parts be repaired by a vendor and if not, what items can? Most repair items seem to be unusable past 75%ish

So I just need to shop around until new parts be found, unless lightly damaged, which I can repair myself?

[topaz yoke]

Am I missing something, or is this """technically""" the wrong sig p220? I can't put this kit on my gun

[stuck sun]

If you're looking to make parts repair cheap, don't take any weapon parts that are below 60%

If money isn't an issue, just buy the parts repair kit that restores items at or above 10% to full

[versed tusk]

and never use a technician, use your own toolkit

[lyric steeple]

@real copper i think by default you just need the right repair tool. as long as its more that 1% i think you "CAN" repair an item.

repair items will tell what their min repair amount is.

[real copper]

I forgot about the weapons part repair kit that caps at 1%. Thank you. That helps a lot since I've nearly 100k. Artifacts seem to be easy to obtain; thankfully.

@versed tusk why not use a tech to clean your gun? Just cheaper?

Or do you mean upgrading?

[topaz yoke]

Tech cleaning is far from cheaper but you don't need to pull together all the parts and equipment you need

Same for upgrading

[stuck sun]

Its cheap for the first 10%. Then the cost starts to scale real high

[versed tusk]

cleaning at the mechanic is expensive. on the initial clean, use kerosine or cloth masks as a bonus

once its above ~60% you can use the cheaper cleaning items

just keep your shit above 85% from then on, is the cheapest way

[real copper]

That'd what I do with my current gear

[stuck sun]

@real copper One thing to note is armor repair is simplified. Repairing the armor itself repairs the individual parts

[versed tusk]

ye, armor is a lot more straight forward

[pastel fiber]

I've enabled the mod which allows you to give armor to companions, but they're not putting it on. Is there an additional step involved I may have missed?

[real copper]

@stuck sun I've noticed. Which is good since gas masks are a must.

[versed tusk]

but same principal - keep above 90% to have the cheapest tools used aka glue

[stuck sun]

Are you trying to give armor to Hip? Or random stalkers?

[versed tusk]

#🔨modded-gamma-support

[pastel fiber]

Both, in my case

[pastel fiber]

Got it

[real copper]

So what vendors hsbe the best pool of item parts (let's say Warsaw Pact if it matters)? That's without factoring goodwill in; which I believe upgrades the quality of the items at a vendor.

Thank you all for that clarification and advice; btw

[stuck sun]

Hip has a specific model that cannot be overwritten in-game. She's pretty beefy without armor though, but if you're hoping to get her into an exo, I'm sorry to disappoint. As for regular stalkers, make sure you have the mod activated in the modlist

[versed tusk]

CS & Freedom are Nato

[stuck sun]

Mercs too

[real copper]

So probably Duty?

Or Sid since I have some goodwill?

[pastel fiber]

Meaning verify that it's been checked, or via an alternative method?

[versed tusk]

Loners, Military and Mono are WP

[stuck sun]

Simply get that checkmark turned on

[real copper]

@versed tusk Thank you. I'll start scouring the Zone for some parts now.

[pastel fiber]

And if I've verified it's enabled yet still have no results, is there a command or troubleshooting method I can try to ensure it's active in-game?

[stuck sun]

Nato or WP vendors should all have the same pool of items available and only vary based on your goodwill with their faction (should be anyway)

[real copper]

@stuck sun I was about to say, I'll still check all vendors since Freedom had a barrel for my new MP-133. Seems only looting will favor their faction weaponry, assuming they haven't looted another factions corpse. At least that's my understanding

But I'm hoping the factions will favor WP/NATO generally in terms of availability

[stuck sun]

I'll dig into it a little myself, but so far its working out of the box for me. I just get them into my group open up their inventory and drop the armor I want in there

[real copper]

I just wish there was a way to check which parts fit which weapons without having to haul the weapons around or write down the parts IRL but eh, you can't have anything. Honestly surprised a physical notepad or a PDA notepad hasn't been added as a mod. Would be very useful

[willow hawk]

check weapon details for kit compatibility

[real copper]

But I'm sure it exists somewhat on the db

[topaz yoke]

I'm well aware my "SIG P220" doesn't take any kits, but I'm just a little confused as to why it doesn't, and if there's a "SIG Sauer P220" I just happen to not have

[real copper]

@willow hawk I mean the inverse, check weapon parts to see what weapons it can be used with it, if I take your meaning correctly.

[topaz yoke]

Meaning taken incorrectly, I have a separate problem

[willow hawk]

I left only one p220 iirc

and it works with 2 kits

[real copper]

@topaz yoke Sorry. Just noticed he was talking to you. I just quickly replied and should have looked more closely.

[topaz yoke]

And I just... huh?

Pretty sure I found this one on a merc

[lyric steeple]

you can see the required kits on the bottom of this description.

[topaz yoke]

I don't really want to say you messed up but at the same time I have a P220 that doesn't work

I'm well aware I have a SIG P220 that doesn't take kits but I'm pretty sure that means something's broken

Is there a command I can use that can spawn what's supposed to be the correct SIG P220?

Has something been missed and the SIG P220 that takes the kits isn't in the modpack?

[versed tusk]

spawning items would be via debug

[tepid turtle]

it is possible to disable scrollwhell changing weapons? Every time i try panic quick melee i end changing weapons..

[stuck sun]

Weapon swap with scrollwheel is a vanilla thing, so check the keybinds?

[topaz yoke]

There's definitely a "wrong" SIG P220 in here that I somehow got, alright then

[tepid turtle]

option is not there, i tryed edit the user file too, with no success, oh well..

[topaz yoke]

Is this a bug I should report somewhere?

[versed tusk]

why not change the quick melee button instead?

[real copper]

Are there any misc items you should dismantle instead of selling? For instant, radios seem very good for their transistors, so I no longer sell them. What misc items do you recommend never selling due to their value in the crafting system?

[versed tusk]

i keep all misc items

hoarder

[real copper]

I understand the pain of 100 stashes and constantly eyeing the carry weight. It's hard to part with anything. It's like having 100 potions in Skyrim and it's a sickness I cannot cure

[silk hinge]

you never know when you'll need 100 cat tails

[tepid turtle]

... and taking like, 5 seconds of lag to open that stash

[real copper]

All I know is the deeper I get into crafting, the more I realize you need SO much shit to do it.

[silk hinge]

an even better reason to hoard

[topaz yoke]

Just make sure to sell your metallic parts

[lyric steeple]

anyone swap run(x) and walk (shift)?

[versed tusk]

ofc

shift is always sprint

low crouch for me is C but thats more subjective

[lyric steeple]

(my keyboard has ctrl and capslock swapped)

[silk hinge]

wowz

[lyric steeple]

so ctrl is useful! 🙂

[versed tusk]

ctrl is crouch in any fps

or lets say 99%

[lyric steeple]

what do you use for the companion wheel?

[versed tusk]

i dont use companions

[lyric steeple]

to metal for that?

[versed tusk]

i hate em

[silk hinge]

chore

[lyric steeple]

do you just skip the tourist quests?

or can you disable them alltogether?

[orchid barn]

Is there any way to reverse the scroll direction when zooming? Finally using an adjustable scope & this shit has already gotten me killed twice

[versed tusk]

thats stalker for you

always been that way

[orchid barn]

So nothing I can fuck with in user.ltx?

[versed tusk]

not sure if you could alter this in a file directly but it's always been reversed

[warped ginkgo]

in game? i don't think so

[versed tusk]

what you mean? you are not obligated to do any quest if you dont want to... its just easy money/rep at the start

[warped ginkgo]

but you could rebind your mouse scroll wheel direction in your mouse setup cfg

[lyric steeple]

yeah, wasnt sure if there was just a way to disable them in this mod. thats all.

[orchid barn]

Is that a config file in Anomaly or are you just talking about doing it outside of the game?

[warped ginkgo]

outisde game

i meant as direct windows mouse cfg

[orchid barn]

I can definitely do it via Logitech's middleware. I'll just have to delete a profile to make room for Anomaly

[real copper]

How does companion teleport work? Do they just need to be a certain distance away or another level entirely. Also, I'm finding companions be a bit OP. Hip on 4 cats basically alone. Barely any damage.

With better health now they seem a viable early game way to travel.

[honest tendon]

anyone know of ways to get specific magazines, or upgrade existing ones?

other than just getting lucky and finding em

[potent kestrel]

How do I make the bushes and my game in general look less pixely?

mainly the dead trees and bushes

[lyric steeple]

are there seasons in this game?!

[warped ginkgo]

play at high resolution

also try AA 2X and msaa high? i don't remember the names

also DSR could help if you have a RTX card

[potent kestrel]

nah I just have winter mod on

[lyric steeple]

ah ok

[potent kestrel]

It might be something with my monitor then cause im playing at 2556x1440p

[potent kestrel]

thanks I have those disabled ill be sure to try them

[versed tusk]

most people recommend AA and SMAA off ingame and doing it via Nvidia panel - I tried it too and find it better looking for less impact

[potent kestrel]

thanks homie

[versed tusk]

but each system is different, so try both options

[potent kestrel]

[clever gulch]

There is radiation wherever i go, from Rookie village all the way to North of Garbage. Is this a dynamic thing or something? Have had to use meds all the time to stay alive...

[lyric steeple]

might need to upgrade your armor.

also this mod has random radiation spots.

[versed tusk]

are you carrying an artefact?
And helmets/masks/respirators offer most rad res

[potent kestrel]

personally I have dynamic radiation disabled cause its completely fucking brutal on hard difficulty but proabably need better armor

[versed tusk]

always start with the respirator

[lyric steeple]

you are pretty eradiated, which will dmg you over time.

[clever gulch]

omg yes!!! I didnt see that I received an artefact by a mission... it was just sitting there LOL

[lyric steeple]

nice!

[versed tusk]

haha i had a hunch

[clever gulch]

thanks 😛

damn that was expensive haha

I've been there too

[clever gulch]

i should be fine tho

[versed tusk]

"when did I pick up this anomalous bread?"

[lyric steeple]

it doesnt provide anything for stealth, if that's what you're thinking

I got it there just yesterday yeah ^

[north turret]

is it in that one building or what

[clever gulch]

yeah the one that has a yellow marker on it

its sitting on one of the tables, alot of anomalies around it

[versed tusk]

the marker shows exactly where - its the area with the psy field inside

outside stairs lead to it

[north turret]

Hm alright

is it like on the floor?

[versed tusk]

coming from the outside stairs it's straight over the couches, around the corner to the right on the floor

I'm running it on 8 now to see if that helps

you dont go up the hill, you go to the left and follow a path with small water ponds and anomalies til you reach an entrance to a cave

[graceful rover]

check the stairs

ah sorry, phone didnt update messages properly😂

[graceful rover]

tried setting an fps limit? i set mine to 60, runs like a charm and rather cool

oh shit let me try that

[graceful rover]

before that, my laptop was running so hot, i was scared of burning my fingers😂

[buoyant stump]

got any more tips? game runs fine on my pc but laptop struggles a bit

[lone owl]

my game ran well on the normal graphics but got super hot on my pc

i need to let it cool off so im gonna go to bed and try again in morning

I have the escort ecologist quest in Jupiter, I took him to the place where he wanted to go and after finishing his thing I took him back to the base, but after talking to him to get my reward nothing happens, the quest doesn't end nor do I get my reward, I keep trying to talk to him but he just keeps saying this exact same thing, Whats wrong?

how can i unjamm a gun if i have to disable the reload unjam addon ?

rebind the button in the settings, and rebind R to reload

there's an unjam hotkey you can rebind at the very bottom of controls

[wraith moat]

ooooooh i didnt see that

Thank you very much

you dont need to do anything, but if you want to play story mode + warfare you will need to enable a life overhaul and the warfare patch

warfare is not recommended tho, and not supported

unstable and not balanced

[willow hawk]

Quest

[fleet tulip]

who is better to sell meats to? the scientists or butcher?

because scinetists is scientists so they'd naturally want meat of mutants and what not to uhh, do science and that stuff

but butcher is all about meat as well, so i'm in a dilemma here

[brisk zinc]

Butcher

He pays the most

[fleet tulip]

👍 thank you

and mutant parts of enemies (not animals/wildlife) to scientists because they pay the most for that i assume correct?

like snorkel head or bloodsucker tentacles

[topaz thunder]

im pretty sure butcher pays the most for all mutant parts

[stuck sun]

Got a real head scratcher here.

So I have 2 monolith AKs. One chambered in 5.56x45 and the other in 5.45x39

Tooltip says 5.56x45 has better AP (52 vs 49), but the rechambered mono with x45 does one less point of damage.

Can anyone give some clarity?

Maybe im looking at how BR works in the wrong way and its actually just a damage reduction.

Gun says it does 10 damage, enemy armor is BR 30 and the ammo has BR 5, so its 10dmg * .25

[carmine wyvern]

I would take the gun with the better AP Value

Aiming for the head is what you should always try to do

[potent kestrel]

My game crashes when I approach or fast travel to the barrier im guessing the distance I crash at is related to how far the game renders in objects, im running on warfare mode with overhaul at 2X rapid, does anyone know why it keeps crashing? Also it only happens with warfare mode so im guessing thats why but any help is apperciated

[versed tusk]

Warfare is very unstable and not even recommended for Gamma

[potent kestrel]

yeah true probably not the best idea trying to make my main game using warfare but eh

[carmine wyvern]

afaik there is no real help w/ warfare mode

cuz its too niche/unsupported

[brisk zinc]

Ask in #🔨modded-gamma-support, not here

[autumn silo]

Silly question but how do you place a campfire

[worn moat]

What faction has the best gear? Like which is the most well equipped

[carmine wyvern]

For what purpose?

Ballistic Protection ?
Anomaly Protection ?

[velvet mantle]

Grok says that we should eiher update DICK or perform a full install. How do I go about updating DICK? is it manually by downloading the new version on Moddb? or can I do it through MO2?

[worn moat]

I know there is no best ballistics and anomaly protection so which faction excel in either of those

[carmine wyvern]

Scientists, Clear Sky for Anomaly Protection

Duty for Ballistic (?)

[compact tulip]

can anyone help me with this stash? i cant for the life of me figure out where it is

perhaps im just blind but

i looked all over the place

[stone gale]

electrical box?

does it not say any info when you hover over the map

[compact tulip]

just ''stash''

nothing else

[versed tusk]

did you climb it?

[compact tulip]

i dont think im meant to climb it

i thought of the catwalk on top

perhaps its there but i have no idea

how to get up there

[versed tusk]

a lot of stashes require you to mountain goat

you'd be surprised

[carmine wyvern]

maybe its underneath

[compact tulip]

nope

i looked

[carmine wyvern]

send a pic from the backside

[compact tulip]

like

under?

[stone gale]

no the otherside of the loader

[carmine wyvern]

nah the other side from where you were standing

[compact tulip]

?

[carmine wyvern]

somewhere here, maybe you can jump on the pieces that stretch out of the box unit and climb up that way

[compact tulip]

ill try that

[latent otter]

I climbed up to the catwalk, and got stuck there

[compact tulip]

yup, you were right

cheers man

[stone gale]

gotta goat alot of the higher tier stashes be prepared

[compact tulip]

wait so green are higher tier

and white are like

normal?

[stone gale]

yeah whites are the regular ones

[compact tulip]

ohh i see

[versed tusk]

as i said, mountain goat

[compact tulip]

stalker parkour is the bane of me

makes me want to gouge my eyes out everytime i slide off a surface

[woven nova]

Can I dissable fast travel cost ?

[carmine wyvern]

[carmine wyvern]

green stashes are almost guaranteed to contain a Toolkit (Basic/Advanced/Expert) a Drugmaking Kit or Ammo Kit

[compact tulip]

yea i found basic tools in there and a mosin nagant

i already got 2 though

[versed tusk]

100% guarantee for any of the toolkits - still rng which one but at least it is always one of them

[compact tulip]

im just looking for advanced rn

[carmine wyvern]

the higher north you are (red forest and up) the higher the chance to get Expert Tools

[versed tusk]

you'll get em, just do missions etc and check your stashes, even white

[carmine wyvern]

are Calibration Tools still in Gamma ?

or are they not needed

[compact tulip]

i wont be going farther than army warehouses for a while

in vanilla anomaly i would probably be in pripyat by now

[vague tartan]

Does any NPC buy guns from the player?

[carmine wyvern]

nope

and if they do its a bug

[vague tartan]

Thanks! Just wanted to offload some gently used gear for cash.

[carmine wyvern]

strip guns for parts above 60% condition and dump the rest

if you want a barrel you have to dismantle the gun, destroying it in the process

[versed tusk]

Armor parts until 50%

[vague tartan]

yeah, i'll be doing that. Nothing good on the armor refurb end so far.

[versed tusk]

it takes a while, ya. slow progression

[velvet mantle]

Can I somehow modify ammo spawns on dead NPC's? I get quite alot of ammo from them.

I tried modifying ZCP loot options, but it does not seem to make any difference in terms of ammo spawns.. Anything else I can try to edit?

[vague tartan]

yeah, its a large point of this modset, so I'm fine with that.

[lusty talon]

Hello. Is there a way to remove the 70kg weight limit in boxes?

[carmine wyvern]

search for weightless stashes in MO2

[north turret]

enable that and you can hoard as much as you want

[lusty talon]

Thank you

[versed tusk]

bare in mind, it'll lag your game hard at at specific values

better to build/craft 4-5 boxed and separate

[lusty talon]

As per usual in any stalker game then

Thanks for the info ❤️

[woven nova]

How to zoom when I aim ? I saw that on yt gameplay

[carmine wyvern]

side mouse button

for me atleast

[north turret]

should be in the MCM keybindings, "free zoom"

[versed tusk]

ye, bind the free zoom

[woven nova]

You mean freelook?

I dont see free zoom

I Think it might be KB scope but doesnt work

[carmine wyvern]

do you have a mouse w/ side buttons ?

because it was set to one of my side buttons by default

[woven nova]

Nope only 3 buttons

[carmine wyvern]

mhm

[versed tusk]

MCM has a menu, should be the first point int it, MCM keybinds - that lists them all. Free zoom also has it's own menu further down in MCM where you can bind it too

[woven nova]

Left right and circle

[north turret]

MCM keybinds, not regular settings

[carmine wyvern]

is it better to aim for the body of a Sin Member rather than the head, due to the increased damage resistance ?

cuz a Rookie Sin tanked ~ 20 round of 5.7 AP before dying

and i am just wondering if aiming for the Torso is faster

[gritty sandal]

How do hideouts work? Do I just pick a random house, put a backpack in it, boom hideout? First time playing STALKER, using GAMMA.

[carmine wyvern]

you can freely decide where you want to settle down

[gritty sandal]

Thanks for the quick reply.

[carmine wyvern]

you just need to haul your shit there and start to build

i would recommend a place where you frequently walk by, and somewhere center-ish on the map

[gritty sandal]

Regarding weapons/gear, since they are not sellable and if I don't want to keep it, I assume just field strip/disassemble or ditch it.

[carmine wyvern]

keep weapon parts above 60%, to get barrels you need to dismantle (destroy the gun)

keep armor parts above 50%

the barrel condition decides the damage output of the gun

[mystic finch]

is there any way to disarm the mines once you set a proximity trigger?

[warped ginkgo]

walk towards it

[mystic finch]

very funny and not helpful

[viscid tendon]

does aggressor reshade work in DX8?

[carmine wyvern]

shoot them, or lob grenades at them

[mystic finch]

in other words they aren't very good you should be able to disarm them and reuse

[carmine wyvern]

mines are great

[mystic finch]

not to protect you

[carmine wyvern]

but you should only use proximity if you are sure someone else is walking into them

they are certainly no smart mines that can differentiate between friend and foe

[mystic finch]

wanted to set it to protect me like a claymore but you can't do that it seems

[carmine wyvern]

no

[mystic finch]

invictus told me of a mod but I don't know how compatible it's going to be

[carmine wyvern]

i use them only to lure heavy armored monolith into them

w/o having to waste a lot of ammo to bring them down

[mystic finch]

I trhought it would be a good idea to set it to protect me from hit squads while messing around in base

[fading imp]

where can i find scar? or whatever is the next step for that quest

[grizzled raven]

zaton

its marked with a yellow marker on your pda

[fading imp]

it's not for me, it just says, go to this area, and it's hidden in the message logs

[grizzled raven]

show me an ss

[fading imp]

and all it says, basically in the drop down thing, is "You need to find scar"

[grizzled raven]

he might be dead

try going to zaton though

[fading imp]

i've only been to zaton 3 times iirc

i've went through the iron forest and such and i didn't find him there, is he north of that in the substation bit?

[fading imp]

probably doesn't help that for some reason he's flagged as a fucking loner, near a merc base

[buoyant stump]

question how to i transfer a save between 2 PCs?

[brisk zinc]

Anomaly/appdata/savedgames, here you can find your save files, make a backup of this folder and you're done

[buoyant stump]

thanks a ton

[willow hawk]

Yup

[vague tartan]

Where can I go to modify the light beam of the head torch?

[magic wadi]

Is there any way to prevent weather to randomly change when quickloading?

[buoyant stump]

wait you can build? how so?

or is it just putting your stuff on a random crate

i heard you could also put down a backpack somehow? and it doesnt despawn

[brisk zinc]

Right click on your backpack and create a stash

[sleek sun]

do dx11 different from dx10?

[buoyant stump]

thx

[sleek sun]

since i cant achieve 60fps on 4k on dx11

[versed tusk]

basic tools > right click > craft

lamps, radios, a vice, piano

etc

[buoyant stump]

cool

[willow roost]

so i upgraded my karbine into this wepon using some kit form a vendor and i also bought an silenecer attachment but i can't attach the silencer to my gun what do i do?

[brisk zinc]

If you use a kit you can't add anything else (IIRC)

You should be able to remove the kit though (IIRC)

[quick socket]

Ive kinda hit a few snags on option 1 on the Framerate Optimization channel. Basically ive unticked everything i could but couldnt find R3zy detector Shaders Fix, tried to right click Beefs NVG in the Mod Organizer like it said to only nothing really came up for ticking anything beyond that, and now the game launches from the start screen but i cant load anything ingame due to a problem with the shaders

[willow roost]

why does it say (with silencer adapter) its kinda confusing lol

[versed tusk]

the silencer is highlighted when you mouse over the gun?

[willow roost]

yes

[versed tusk]

i use the K98 and use the silencer

so not sure exactly why it fails

[willow roost]

it makes a sound when i press use on the silencer attachment then nothing

[versed tusk]

drag & drop it on?

[willow roost]

tried that also but nothing :/

[versed tusk]

no idea then, must admit

[willow roost]

:/ damn it was a nice upgrade but obvious the silenecer would have been great to hav

[versed tusk]

it looks and sounds great - but degrades the barrel faster

so its not too bad if you aint using it

but now i wonder what happened there - do you have a save before you attached the kits?

[brisk zinc]

Did you deleted shader cache?

[willow roost]

i'll give a re load a try i guess

[brisk zinc]

Why nobody is reading me?

@graceful iron come here

[graceful iron]

you need the silencer adapter kit

its sold by NATO traders

you put it on top of the upgraded version

[quick socket]

Yup. Deleted that and added what it told me to in the App data folder of Anomaly

[graceful iron]

wait

[versed tusk]

he did as i can see

[graceful iron]

@willow roost you changed the gun to 762x51? it should also change the suppressor used

[versed tusk]

smort cat

[graceful iron]

it uses the standard NATO suppressor for 556 and 762

[willow roost]

yeah i changed my ammo when i had the karbine so.. i just need to find another silencer cause i have the silencer addapter kit but its not working lol

[graceful iron]

find the nato silencer

you can hover over the gun with your mouse, the silencer it uses will light up

and i think it should also be shown in the details window

[willow roost]

i know that but the silencer kit i have now lights up when i hover over it xD

so that was weird lol

[graceful iron]

thats normal, the conversion upgrades arent perfect

but it should still make the silencer light up

[willow roost]

i'll just check vendors later then ^^

[frozen lynx]

how do i use mod upgrade kits o-o

[brisk zinc]

Drag the kit on the gun

[vague tartan]

yup, tried it in spawner. The 7.62x51 conversion plus kit set works with the "NATO suppressor" attachment.

[frozen lynx]

oh my

its beautiful

thank you 😮

[jade axle]

Hey gamers, is there any way to increase the range of the campfire health regen? My stash in Farm is barely out of range of the campfire so I don't get cozy regen while crafting and stuff

[turbid inlet]

if you are using a crafting station its pretty easy to move them

I'd just move it next to the fire

[graceful iron]

you can place your own campfire or stash, but changing the range of the campfire will probably take some digging(unless someone here knows which files exactly have the values)

[turbid inlet]

kinda wish the campfire used the same placement method as the hideout furniture but its just "drop it where you stand"

so you may wanna quicksave and reload until you get the placement you want

[vague tartan]

Is it just me or is the glass of the scope blurry?
So dang many guns in here lol. Its like visiting the Matrix weapons locker. Any WHOT/BHOT thermals?

[jade axle]

Thank you friends, I think I'll just make a new campfire or something. Stalkers always huddle around the campfire and leave no space for me and my loot

[turbid inlet]

thats probably just the helmet overlay, not the scope. I've not seen any thermals, just NVG.

also I was looking around and there is actually a revolver in the mod - I just think that no enemy is set to use it, and without merchants its impossible to get it

[vague tartan]

aw, would be nice to see bloodsuckers instead of running screaming from them.

[turbid inlet]

if you want to spawn it in, its there

only way to get it, I am pretty sure

[vague tartan]

crap, I must have hit an army guy because the cordon returned fire, Its neat to use.

[turbid inlet]

forgot who asked about that yesterday but hopefully they see it

[vague tartan]

Not sure why I was returning fire so carefully on a test save. The revolver is a blast though. Its got like 300% more capacity than my shotgun.
To quote Inception "You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger darling" - Spawns grenade launcher and ammo.

[jade axle]

Hey guys, I found the specific line to edit the campfire regen range. Don't know if this is the best place to put it, but if anyone needs it:

[frank robin]

Campfires regen health?

[turbid inlet]

very, very slowly

more quickly with one of the perk artifacts I think

[jade axle]

I think the artifact is the signet one too

[frank robin]

That's useful to know.

I can spend less money on medkits.

[frozen lynx]

anyone know if its normal for binos to be stuck in night vision?

[turbid inlet]

I couldn't turn mine off either, so I figured it was "working as intended"

I just avoided any night vision upgrades altogether, the 2nd and 3rd tier night vision goggles makes it wholly redundant

[versed tusk]

did you upgrade the binos?

[turbid inlet]

yeah

[brisk zinc]

Normal

[versed tusk]

get new ones

[brisk zinc]

Don't use them

Or like Skom said, get new ones

[turbid inlet]

you can uninstall upgrades

[brisk zinc]

No, you can't

[turbid inlet]

I am pretty sure you can, I remember doing it to my binos

[brisk zinc]

Okay then

Do it

I'll wait

[turbid inlet]

I did it like

2 playthroughs ago lol

[brisk zinc]

No I'm serious, do it

[frozen lynx]

oh its an upgrade?

[brisk zinc]

Yes, the night vision it's an upgrade

[frozen lynx]

feels like a downgrade

XD

[brisk zinc]

I know

That's why we tell people to not use them

They're also buggy

It's already a miracle you manage to upgrade them

@turbid inlet no but seriously, do it

I'll summon my man @graceful iron who knows it all

I'm sure he can debunk this as well

[turbid inlet]

well I tried to, but it said I didn't have the required toolkit, and when I tried to check the toolkit, the game crashed

[brisk zinc]

That's normal

What did you do exactly?

I have the game open, I can try

[frozen lynx]

wait is the upgrade

the sight contrast?

cause i havent upgraded it to the first or 2nd night vision yet

[brisk zinc]

Scratch that, I can't try it

I think Grok (finally) removed binoculars from debug mode

Nope I can, they're just in a different section

[turbid inlet]

ok

so here is how to do it

get the upgrade

right click it

[frozen lynx]

oh i think my binos upgraded on its own?

[turbid inlet]

you will notice its gone now

then click no

[frozen lynx]

cause i dont have night vision upgraded

[turbid inlet]

uninstalled upgrade

I did the same with the 2nd grade of night vision

now its just high-contrast

[frozen lynx]

so weird lol

so i did that kyara and it just automaticaly installs it again

and i dont even have the tools for night vision yet.

[turbid inlet]

I dunno, binos just seem buggy as fuck lol

I just use my scoped rifle for scouting as soon as I can get my hands on one

[graceful iron]

this isnt high contrast

[turbid inlet]

and use the bino slot for pistols

[graceful iron]

you cant uninstall upgrades, just get a new binocs

[quick socket]

Okay so it turns out my dumbass didnt delete the shader cache lmao

[frozen lynx]

im confused toast

[brisk zinc]

@turbid inlet here says the opposite

[graceful iron]

this could be shocking, but i have eyes and i can read

i already read the conversation

[brisk zinc]

I just tried and it doesn't work

Another "can't catch me lacking" moment

[graceful iron]

trust me, i have played anomaly too much for my own health

[brisk zinc]

Can't catch me lacking

[quick socket]

Sorry trying to solve a problem i made trying to follow the first numbered suggestion in the Framerate optimization channel . Turns out deleting the shader cache didnt help unfortunately

[graceful iron]

i know you cant uninstall upgrades

[brisk zinc]

Trust me, I know

[brisk zinc]

I know this as well but at this point my mental sanity is gone

At least I can flex my possibility to use binocs, I can even install upgrades

[graceful iron]

its not installing upgrades that crashes the game, its hovering over specific UI elements in the upgrade window

[magic wadi]

Fellas, at what point in the game do I get to start crafting weapons? All I've done so far is dismantle scavenged ones

[brisk zinc]

At no point because you don't craft weapons, it's not Minecraft

[magic wadi]

What then I just repair the ones I loot?

[graceful iron]

dismantle weapons with parts you need to repair others, and collect weapons you want to use, you can repair them using toolkits and repair kits

#│📚manual

!apart

[raw raft]

Text guides about repairing, mantaining and cleaning your gun and your armor:

For weapons: #╭📖faq message
For armors: #╭📖faq message

[turbid inlet]

yeah, dismantle weapons with good parts and slot them in weapons you want with the same parts

[magic wadi]

Yeah I got that, though I was under the impression there were crafting recipes for weapons

[turbid inlet]

early game I just dismantle any weapon with a green part to build up to that recycler perk early

to make the electronics grind a bit easier

[magic wadi]

I'll do just that then

[turbid inlet]

there are some IEDs, but not weapons

[brisk zinc]

No you can't craft them

You can replace parts

[frozen lynx]

yall got a achievement perk?

guide*

[turbid inlet]

its in-game

[frozen lynx]

in the PDA?

[turbid inlet]

yeah

I forgot where exactly but its in there somewhere

[graceful iron]

pda > guide > achievements

[quick socket]

Deleted the Shader cache by im still getting the error prompt "Shader Compilation failed, check your log file for additional information" and checked the log and it says "Failed to write C:/games/GAMMA RC3/mods/189-Beef's NVG-theRealBeef/meta.ini: error 2"

[turbid inlet]

oh, and break down and remake whatever ammo you can early, there is a perk for crafting which reduces some crafting recipe costs as well, which is easier than grinding money for the higher-tier electronics imho

[brisk zinc]

You didn't reinstall Beef correctly, remember?

[quick socket]

Oh i didnt see that message if i got it. Sorry. Do i need to redownload manually and put it in the downloads folder and run the Gamma installer again?

[turbid inlet]

so for sin, how exactly does their weird protection field work? it seems like volume of shots matters more than AP of shots, I was getting more use out of my MP7 as a lead hose than my AK with AP rounds.

[ionic fog]

Can I somehow modify ammo spawns on dead NPC's? I get quite alot of ammo from them.

I tried modifying ZCP loot options, but it does not seem to make any difference in terms of ammo spawns.. Anything else I can try to edit?

[graceful iron]

its just a 85% damage reduction. their armors arent the best so any small rifle or rifle FMJ rounds will do just fine

aim for the head

[turbid inlet]

aaah, alright. with the way damage scale on different calibers work I guess that means the better guns to use are larger capacity rifles with a decent amount of FMJ, and not bothering on AP except for the exosuit ones.

still, got like 1200 9x18mm FMJ to burn, so I might as well before I head back

[graceful iron]

large rifle snipers or shotgun slugs can take them out really quickly with headshots

3-5 normal slugs

[weak eagle]

it seems that i ran into a problem my artifacts melter is not working i but the artifacts in but their no showing up in the Empowerment menu

[quick socket]

Okay i reinstalled Beef and left all the boxes unticked that it wanted left off but im still getting the same error message. Well actually in the logs all its giving me is "None of the selected mods can be updated"

[lyric sundial]

afk right now, does anyone know if the galil ace features caliber changes? only one i have seen in-game is 5.56, but they are made in three other calibers irl.

[covert edge]

anyone tested gamma with Skills Expansion 2.0 [for Anomaly 1.5.2] by utjan ?

[frozen lynx]

doesnt it already have that o-o

[gritty sandal]

Where can I see info on mods installed on MO2 but not active? Like which ones am I ok to activate (I can tell obvious things like 3 different types of 2D scopes for example)

[mint stream]

so im in the mcm but i see a mod called hideout furniture, how does it work?

[versed tusk]

basic tools > right click > craft > Hideout furniture

[wise gull]

anyone know how to disable this?

[stoic moth]

Mcm options under mags hud

[wise gull]

thank You! 😄

[stoic moth]

What options do you have to craft? I just get some lamps and radios

[graceful iron]

a few stash types and the portable workbench

[stoic moth]

Odd. I had to mod those in myself

[graceful iron]

did you make sure that the addon was installed correctly ?

[stoic moth]

Yeah

[brisk zinc]

If you can't reinstall it properly, yes, at this point seems like the good thing to do

[stoic moth]

!blackscreen

[raw raft]

Follow this: #╭📖faq message

[graceful iron]

check the file sizes, it could be missing files and mo2 didnt recognize that

[stoic moth]

Hmm so I started a new game with base gamma and I have a hideout furnitures tab in crafting but all the icons are missing. Odd

I'll have to look into it later

[celest cedar]

Uh, sorry, quick question... I thought the skill system levels go up to 15 max? Did something get changed?

[graceful iron]

i have seen that before, its definitely missing files

[stoic moth]

Oh yeah all the textures are missing from the file itself

That's so weird

[graceful iron]

the max is 30

but the bonuses are halved

[celest cedar]

Alright, confusion has been cleared; Thanks alot! :D

[hot smelt]

Any one got the debug spawn code for The Mercenary Scar?

[buoyant stump]

dumb question probably but how do i know a psy storm has passed? do i get a message on my PDA?

its been a while and the stay sheltered message is gone

[eternal zealot]

You should be safe then!

[buoyant stump]

okay, hope i dont walk out and die haha

caught me off guard the first time

oh shit its not safe

bit more waiting time for me i guess

[eternal zealot]

Is your current mission "Stay Sheltered"?

I have a different question, I found a scope called "EOTS-62" that claims to have "Target Tracking Capabilities" Is this just flavor text or does it actually do something in-game?

[buoyant stump]

it was, but the actual mission along with the icon disappeared from my PDA

then when i walked out it popped in once again

all good tho

[eternal zealot]

Don't worry, the Psy-Waves make your brain taste better

[brisk zinc]

When you can go out, you'll see it

[buoyant stump]

im sure the zombies out there agree

[buoyant stump]

[brisk zinc]

Sorry I sent the message too quickly

Check your PDA

Or in the bottom left

You'll see a message

That will let you understand that you can go out

You can also see if people go outside again

[buoyant stump]

i see, thanks

[placid vapor]

I am at Researchers: Visit Lab X19 mission, where I need to find documents on artifact farms. Where the hell are they? It also says they are at the entrance, but there is literally nothing anywhere. Ran through the lab many times now.

[gritty sandal]

Can I use the storage container infront of the trader in rookie village to store things?

[placid vapor]

Yes, safe to use

[gritty sandal]

Can I use any of these storage containers across the map?

[placid vapor]

Sure, no one can steal anything from you

[gritty sandal]

Awesome. As for fast traveling, how does that work? I read its only to backpacks or known zones but I have only stayed in Cordon so far.

[placid vapor]

When you visit some place, for example Rostok 100 Rads bar, a green house icon will appear on the map where you can fast travel to that place, but it costs money and there is a time delay between travels, but you can use sliders to make it cheaper and faster if you want.

[gritty sandal]

Are stashes included? Like if I wanted to make a hideout.

[placid vapor]

Don`t know anything about stashes, but I think yea. Check mod config menu in game, there is some stuff about that

[brisk zinc]

You can also disable the mod entirely and don't pay or wait

[brisk zinc]

Yes

And I'll answer the next question as well, give me the time since I'm from the phone

[gritty sandal]

What placeable item allows the fast travel feature?

[gritty sandal]

lol thanks man.

[brisk zinc]

If you get coordinates for a stash you're using, you'll still have your stuff + the content of the stash

You won't lose anything

[empty phoenix]

What do I need to edit to change SV-98 to Army Rifle tier?

[brisk zinc]

Backpacks but don't quote me on this

It should work but I'm not 100% sure

[gritty sandal]

Does it have to be a stash on the map? Or will any container work?

[brisk zinc]

You need to check in settings for fast travel with backpacks, there is something about it

[brisk zinc]

For what exactly?

[gritty sandal]

Just storing extra loot. I have a spare bag but want to wait till I find a good location I frequent to make a hideout. In the meantime, I was thinking just storing stuff near traders.

[brisk zinc]

I'll make it simple

[gritty sandal]

Please do lol.

[brisk zinc]

You can store your stuff wherever you want

Simple as that

[gritty sandal]

Awesome.

[brisk zinc]

Stashes with random stuff in it "spawn" when you have coordinates for them

If you don't have coordinates, you won't find random loot in them

[gritty sandal]

Yeah, trackin that.

[brisk zinc]

Now, let's say you're using a stash already looted

And you get coordinates for this stash that you're using

You will find your stuff + the new stash content

You won't lose anything

[gritty sandal]

Thank you for clarifying.

[brisk zinc]

And of course NPCs won't steal anything

But you already knew that

They're not that smart

[gritty sandal]

😂

[placid vapor]

Falco? Help? 🥲

[brisk zinc]

Let's see if the command can help us, otherwise I don't know

!documents

[raw raft]

For those doing the artefact hunter's storyline stuck on X-19 (Brain Scorcher) documents: Go to the north-east corner of Radar.

[brisk zinc]

Yes

I remembered well

[placid vapor]

So i dont need to be underground?

[brisk zinc]

I guess so?

It's not a command made by me

I just remembered that it exist

[placid vapor]

Aight gotta check out.

[gritty sandal]

I have two last questions for at least the next hour.
1.) How do I initiate fast traveling?
2.) The workbench/vice at the Farm in cordon (not this specific one, but just vice/workbench in general) is needed to do any sort of repairs or crafting, correct? (Minus the required tools/kits/etc), correct?

I said correct twice, what a dumbass.

[north turret]

They're here

[placid vapor]

I was thinking of going there. Why are they there?

[north turret]

I guess because that's an "old entrance" to the lab or something. The quest description is misleading however

[brisk kindle]

is merc lottery supposed to give you an mp7 along with incompatible ammo and suppressor?

[brisk zinc]

1. Check in settings, maybe you need to enable it before you can actually fast travel
   I suggest to remove the "time advance when you travel"
   Tweak it to your liking
   Like I said before you can also disable completely the cost and the time in MO2

2. Yes but don't use the vice, it's stupid and useless, you can find the toolkits inside stashes, they're basically portable vices

The vice you pay is stupid and useless because they don't have toolkits in them, meaning, you can't really use them because, again, no toolkits
You'll need to give toolkits to technicians in order to have toolkits inside their vices, at that point is just plain stupid to pay them, since you already have the exact thing for you, for free

Basic and Advanced toolkits can be found everywhere, Expert toolkit only spawn in the northern part of the zone, that is, in Red Forest and north from there
The gunsmithing toolkit is used to create ammo and the drugkit for drugs
Nobody wants the gunsmithing toolkit, keep one, sell the others
Give the drugkit to doctors

Keep the first you find of everything and give the second you find of everything to whoever you want

In order to replace or upgrade stuff in your weapon/armor, you need the toolkit and the repair kit
Check in "Details" by right click on the gun or the armor to see what you need

[carmine wyvern]

No its correct

[tired copper]

I picked this up from a dead Mercenary, what do I do with it?

[carmine wyvern]

MP7 uses 5.7mm to avoid item bloat

[brisk zinc]

Open it
Right click > Open

[carmine wyvern]

Right click open

[brisk zinc]

Right click > Open

Ninja'd on that

[silk hinge]

that merc ain't gonna need it anymore

[placid vapor]

didnt know ncps carried packages. is it extremely rare?

[carmine wyvern]

He probably picked the one up the player was supposed to find

[brisk zinc]

That's a nice lucky find

[gritty sandal]

With that being said, when I am prompted "cant do X in the field", where can I do it?

[carmine wyvern]

I hopefully find a upgrade to my current suit soon

[placid vapor]

What are the odds. Then it is extremely rare

[brisk zinc]

Toolkit + repair kit

You're probably trying to change the barrel of a gun

[gritty sandal]

Yeah, I was.

[brisk zinc]

Knew it

[gritty sandal]

Would love to get an upgrade from the double barrel sawn off 😂

[brisk kindle]

oh i just read the mp7 tooltip and it said 9x19 compatible suppressor that's why i was confused

[brisk zinc]

Also @gritty sandal since I'm at it
You can buy a Basic toolkit from Spirit in Yantar for X amount of vodka and I don't remember who else give you that, maybe Hip

And you can craft an Advanced toolkit by using 5 basic toolkit + some scrap metal IIRC, obviously you need another Basic toolkit in order to craft the Advanced

[carmine wyvern]

Nope all fine

The MP7 is a beast

[gritty sandal]

I will look into it. Currently trying to figure out how to make a belt so I can use my artefacts.

[brisk zinc]

You need an armor with slots

And then you need containers that can be used for artefacts

[versed tusk]

Probably better off to put in hides for the beginning. a little extra res until you can do the proper stuff

[gritty sandal]

Any idea why I can't click anything on the UI?

[honest tendon]

can someone help me with the merc armor trade system?

i'm looking to get the Merc SEVA, what category is that and/or what sort of armor would I need to trade in to get it?

[versed tusk]

you need fuel - coal otr get close to a burning fire

you know, what the tooltip says

[gritty sandal]

I have charcoal and I was close to the fire.

[brisk zinc]

You don't even need charcoal

Just the fire is enough

[gritty sandal]

Maybe alt tabbing borked the UI.

[versed tusk]

ye, i thought the or made that clear

but yes, sometimes menus get borked

reload a save

[brisk zinc]

!tooltip

[raw raft]

If the tooltip is stuck in the crafting menu:

1. #╭📖faq message
2. #╭📖faq message

[real copper]

Do companions worsen the condition of firearms through use? I want Hip to haul some of my project guns around but she keeps using them.

[ionic fog]

Can I find more then one basic toolkit in stashes? I just gave the one I found to the trader in cordon

[versed tusk]

yes

[real copper]

@ionic fog Do you mean if you can find more basic tool kits in the future? Yes. As in a particular stash. I'm sure it is but exceedingly rare.

[versed tusk]

you will swim in them

no worries

[ionic fog]

Great, thanks guys

[real copper]

Yeah it's not hard to open your inventory and find you have like 5 of them and forget when you picked them up

@ionic fog And it sounds like you're early game enough that you have time to build up a collection of weapon and outfit parts along with crafting material. You'll probably find more tools long before they become necessary.

[cursive musk]

Hey, any tips on how to decrease loading times ? I'm already using a low-res texture pack that is helping a bit, but still have 2 minutes average (loading save or transition) Playing on laptop with a GTX980M, I7-4720HQ 2.60Ghz and 8g of ram

[ionic fog]

Yea only like 10 days in, but took me like a week to find the first one, but good to know that I will find more

[versed tusk]

do a lot of missions and read every pda you find - easiest was to get stash coords

[ionic fog]

Wait, I can read pda’s?! I just sold 4 to Sid

[versed tusk]

ye, equip them, open them like yours and click every message

if they are encrypted, a mechanic opens them up for 500 rbl

[ionic fog]

I tried before, but they were locked so I just stopped looking at them

[real copper]

@ionic fog Before you sell them, remove the batteries too!

[versed tusk]

that too

[real copper]

@ionic fog Not all of them are located. Some will reveal stashes along with lore

[ionic fog]

At least I did do that

[real copper]

Locked, I mean

[ionic fog]

Shit, I will start looking at them again. Thanks for the tips boys ❤️

[brisk zinc]

Yes

[brisk zinc]

Put the game on a SSD

[cursive musk]

done already

[brisk zinc]

Buy a better laptop or an actual PC

I have the game on a SSD, 3070, 16 GB of RAM, I think a hot minute is needed to load all that stuff

[cursive musk]

haha that was a cheap one

[brisk zinc]

The more you play the more the game get "heavy" as well, sometime quickloading is just pain

You can try to lower stuff in settings at this point, maybe that could help

A thing that should really help is quitting stuff in background in your PC

Like programs

[cursive musk]

I see, I'm actually planning on getting a new pc, guess I'll just have to deal with it until then

[brisk zinc]

Try to not use overlays as well

And keep the game in fullscreen

[cursive musk]

Yeah I always do that aswell hehe

Anyway, thanks for fast replying !

You guys are awesome

[real copper]

My old laptop with 8gb couldn't really handle Anomaly without enough lag to make it hard to play. Got 12 now with AMD Ryzen 5000 series with Radeon. 800 bucks.

It doesn't run perfectly but it doesn't lag. Except entering Rostok. Custom graphics. Mostly medium-high with lower shadows. Runs smoothly around 30 fps. You don't need a NASA PC for it. Just something mid range; even for a laptop.

[brisk zinc]

Rostok is shit

For everyone

It's a given

Don't worry too much

Lower the grass rendering distance when you're there

Or just keep it to 0

Thank me later

[tame crypt]

Hey I had a question about Mangun. I've given him an advanced toolkit but he doesn't have a medium armor repair kit.

[versed tusk]

he needs to restock first

takes a day or two

[tame crypt]

Yeah I slept through the night and he restocked with new items, but without the repair kit. Should I just wait for another restock?

[real copper]

It's not bad after 30 seconds are so. Jus 3-4! Bad stutters as I get closer to the city proper

Then it's all good

[eager tangle]

Is there any way to turn logging on to output in the console information on the source of damage being taken ?

I've got a mystery damage happening to me intermittently when I'm moving.

I see no indication that I am radiated or anything.

[brisk zinc]

Are you sure your legs are okay?

[eager tangle]

No.

If legs are injured that will cause DOT when moving?

[brisk zinc]

DOT?

[eager tangle]

damage over time

[versed tusk]

your character moans loudly and the screen flashes, yea

[brisk zinc]

Ah yes

[eager tangle]

Good to know

Thanks for the help!

[versed tusk]

he def should offer a medium after getting the advanced kit. did anything change in his available stuff at all?

[cursive musk]

Same symptoms for me. Been playing with this engine quite a lot so I pretty much get used to let the game load sometimes, even while in game

[tame crypt]

Yeah he restocked with an army rifle repair kit for example.

As well as a part repair kit among others

[crisp scroll]

should I give a trader tools? or is it better to save them for myself?

never done my own upgrades before

or played gamma before for that matter lol

[versed tusk]

keep one for yourself always, then give them to the mechanic you work with the most

[crisp scroll]

gotcha thank ya

[versed tusk]

but, never use his vice or service unless you 100% have to

[crisp scroll]

should I just make my own?

think I saw that I could do that

[versed tusk]

you can do almost everything yourself, as long as you have the appropriate kits

[crisp scroll]

ah I see, preciate it

[versed tusk]

right click your toolset

the vice you can build is great too, as the stash it has automatically uses the items inside

[crisp scroll]

I see - I have a renegade medium armor set that I can trade to the military for a better medium armor (at max durability etc etc), you reckon it'd be more cost effective for me to trade armors and then repair the new armor or repair the current renegade armor and THEN trade it

if that makes sense

I feel like it doesn't really matter since they're both medium armors

[versed tusk]

i never used the trade - i disassemble what i dont use and has parts above 50% (for armor) and then repair what I actually want to use

[real copper]

@cursive musk What's your normal FPS? Hopefully tolerable. Anything above 20 is doable. After 30 it's a bonus to me; which I get in more sparse (IE dangerous) reasons so it works out well

[crisp scroll]

gotcha, will probably make the trade and then repair in that case

[versed tusk]

Trading, as I understand it, is more akin to "I want the set from my faction"

[crisp scroll]

will just disassemble all other armos

[versed tusk]

doesnt mean your faction's is better

[crisp scroll]

I checked the full stats and the military armor is a tad better, enough to warrant me making it at least

[versed tusk]

ye

then you're good

[crisp scroll]

sick, thanks!

[real copper]

@cursive musk And have you messed with your light and shadows? That will tank performance. I keep my shadow quality at 0.5, sun quality at low with no sun rays with my SSAO at SSDO (low). I also removed volumetric smoke. That for me was enough to significantly improve performance.

And honestly, the game still looks very good.

[tame crypt]

@versed tusk I slept again and he restocked. Thanks for talking the time to help me.

[versed tusk]

glad to help when I'm around

[brisk zinc]

Skom played college ball, you know

That's why he helped you

[tame crypt]

I bet he could've gone pro

[versed tusk]

[eager tangle]

Lol did this Scar artifact cause my guy to turn on the radio and start dancing?

thought my keyboard was acting up

[bronze bear]

so i dont think ive ever found advanced tools in stashes, seems like i have to make them. how do i get expert tools?

[primal star]

that's just bad rng, you can find expert tools in red forest and beyond in the north

[bronze bear]

ah okay

thank you

so in places like jupiter and zaton are fine too?

[primal star]

north and past the barrier so yea

[minor star]

Radar and the Outskirts have higher drop chance btw

You can get lucky at Zaton or Jupiter, but don't really expect to find them there

[bronze bear]

thank god, i have 2 stashes to look through in radar

[primal star]

will rely entirely on your rng, one run I had I found an expert tools on on the first stash at the entrance to red forest

[dense hearth]

what does it mean when armor says it has a br class of 32?

[primal star]

This comes from my understanding of a seperate game called escape from tarkov, but each ammo has a penetration number when you mouse over its information, armor that is higher than this will mean the ammo will only have a chance to pen, but the closer the ammo pen is to the armor the higher chance of penetration and dealing damage

penetration that is significantly over the armor br will always pen and do full(?) damage, but over penning may do less damage in some scenarios

[dense hearth]

Thanks

[primal star]

actually it's explained fully in manual i think

take a look over there for a more detailed explaination

[cursive musk]

Yeah pretty much same setup for me, I tried and followed most of the fps saving tips detailed in perf optimization channel, fps generally stays above 30, except during big gunfight or adsing in huge open space

[thorn crest]

I don't see my mini map, thirst, hunger etc signs also companion hp bar is gone. Only hp bar left.

any idea what caused this ?

[eager tangle]

Does pressing '/' turn the minimap back on?

/

[grizzled raven]

yes

[glad rampart]

hey so do i just give companions a gun or do i have to give them ammo for it to ?

[thorn crest]

no

[unkempt bronze]

Are my companion's weapons affected by condition?

[wraith moat]

how can i tweak or disable the sleep restriction?

[terse sun]

hey guys, I'm new to this modpack - I've figured already that the technician will repair the suit with actual fabrics, retardants and ballistics included, while he won't do the same to guns - moreover, sometimes he straight refuses to repair a specific gun - is this intended or is my install screwed?

[lone owl]

This seems to have worked thank you

[dense hearth]

How come sometimes after i reload my weapon it auto fires?

[split wigeon]

Guys anyone knows what mods that makes my game very dark? I want to disable it..

[topaz yoke]

Is the Five seven supposed to have a kit? It has info on it's detail page that's supposed to be on a kit's detail page but no normal indicator on what kit it takes

[stoic moth]

it does not. that's my bad. I'm going to go through the un-wiki file and update it

[gleaming granite]

Is radiation supposed to persist after exiting an irradiated area? even after using items to remove it?

[potent kestrel]

its all rng bro I litterally found advanced tools in the rookie village

[potent kestrel]

thats weird from what I know technicians can only repair guns and not suits, that being said it shouldnt matter to much because late early game you only use technicians to buy stuff off of everything else should be crafted

also does anyone know how to get dual rendering on scopes, almost all aspects of the game is immersive but I hate using a 2x+ scope and everything just zooms in and blurs
