[cyan ruin]

I recently started playing the modpack again, and I noticed that the stash is now weight-limited, how can i store my loot now ? :v

[potent kestrel]

disable it or find/buy another stash

[terse sun]

huh, so somehow I have it flipped the other way? I do have the vanilla gamma with the original preset, haven't touched a thing, but have installed it today, so it would be the newest and up to date version

[potent kestrel]

thats weird

I could also just be wrong aswell

thats prob it tbh

[cyan ruin]

by any chance could you tell me where I can find the option to disable it ?

[potent kestrel]

oh man

here lemme try and find it

[potent kestrel]

found

its under GAMMA Fixes priority 384

[cyan ruin]

thanks for the help

[unkempt quarry]

so im having an issue where emissions are still hurting me when im in cover. The only extra stuff i have on is trader overhaul, and mags, also i have gamma economy turned off, and the Turn this on if you have stutter

i have lightly tweaked my emissions settings but all i have done is switch it to turning everyone into zombies and having them occur every 2 days

[stoic moth]

Do you have psy reducing artefacts on you?

[unkempt quarry]

ive got the heart of oasis but that only lowers it by 6 and my helmet raises it by 30 but ill check if taking off the artifact does anything

alright well i guess it was the artifact though shouldnt the helmet compensate for that?

[eternal zealot]

Speaking of Heart of the Oasis, how are you supposed to repair it?
You should craft another one in the "Fuse Artefacts" Menu of the Artefact Melter.

Do you have to get another exact same one

[carmine wyvern]

as soon as you have a Artifact on your Belt that reduces Psy Resistance you will die in a Emission

remove the artifact from belt -> wait out Emission -> Attach it again

it is a known bug, but its low on the priority list to fix afaik

intended, you have to fix your items yourself

only real thing a mechanic is useful for is upgrading items when you dont have the parts yourself

if you have artifacts in your inventory or belt that are not in the Lead Lined Container or similar, you still get affected by their radiation

yep, firing your gun randomly, throwing ALL the nades you have in your inventory

those are side effects of Scar

[ivory comet]

So the psy creatures now do damage

And places like yantar underground spawns one every few seconds

Any walkthrough on how to combat them 🤣

[inland merlin]

Does armor plates crafting require 49< dur parts?

[carmine wyvern]

Psy Meds or a Full Stoneflower do the trick

i did it with one charge the Meds that give 11% Psy Res

or getting a Helmet/Mask w/ good Psy Res

[ivory comet]

ahh so the psy resist works, i thought it only works on anomalies not the phantoms, thanks!

[carmine wyvern]

Phantoms do Psy Damage on contact

either you get high psy res to tank them or destroy them

[potent kestrel]

so im in darkscape doing the RF mission and im right at the area where the beeps are the loudest but im not finding any bodies anyone have an idea where they are at cause I know they always spawn in set locations

basically right where the anomaly area is

[bronze bear]

can someone remind me of what happens when you disable the miracle machine and the brain scorcher?

because i think when you disble the miracle machine, stalkers should be able to move into the dead city, but what does disabling the brain scorcher do, because theres certainly a hell of a lot of monolith in radar still.

[carmine wyvern]

walk around if your F key held down, you are looking for a item called "Package"

its a physical item ON the ground, not in a stash

[potent kestrel]

Sorry I forgot to clarify it's a find the missing squad missio.

*mission

[carmine wyvern]

uhh

good question

[carmine wyvern]

Stalkers will populate Radar and Red Forest more frequently

[potent kestrel]

I'm guessing it's a glitch I just restarted and found the elsewhere

[carmine wyvern]

mhm

[graceful iron]

each of them doesnt do anything special by itself, but disabling both gives you the dugua free achievement. it makes the north areas more populated with stalkers

[wraith moat]

pls help

[bronze bear]

do you mean the sleep mechanic?

[wraith moat]

yes

i just want to set a minimum of like fatigue to be able to sleep

or if i cant, just disable the mechanic

[graceful iron]

[paper whale]

What is the cookie-cutter approach to repairing weapons? Of course I know how to go to a tech and ask him to repair the weapon, but the components are still broken.
What do you do in order to get components of good quality? You can buy some at the tech, but most times not all. What is your approach to get the rest?

[graceful iron]

if you have a repair kit, you dont need parts

you can always collect parts above 60% from looted weapons, repair them and then replace

[bronze bear]

so if i pay sidorovich for stash locations, can those stashes even be up in the north?

[graceful iron]

no, they will mostly be in south areas

[fleet tulip]

can i enable the optional mod, npc loot thing?

i still find stalker easy to play in terms of getting fat loot, EVEN if you can't buy armor or guns from traders anymore

just go to any faction that has nato weapons, kill some of them and boom you're onto some fat loot

[willow hawk]

Well, getting an exo is still a bit tedious

[willow hawk]

That you can't repair

[fleet tulip]

oh

welp, sounds like in the lore of gamma you'd have to ship that damn exo out of the zone to some lab to repair it and get it shipped back then

[willow hawk]

You can enable this addon yes

[fleet tulip]

perfect, but will i have to get a new save?

[willow hawk]

Keep in mind there's already addon that makes npc looting more aggressive

[fleet tulip]

i asked this because in EFP, that addon is glitched and causes crashes so i was wondering if it's the same here

[fleet tulip]

what do you mean by more aggressive?

[willow hawk]

For instance if you snipe NPCs with allies next to them, by the time you come to loot them everything will be gone

[fleet tulip]

oh LMAO

[willow hawk]

I think it works iirc

[fleet tulip]

last time i've been to their discord to try EFP (i think less than a week) they advised against enabling it

[willow hawk]

Also while an NPC loots a body, you can't loot it

[fleet tulip]

smart move

[willow hawk]

So all in all it's balanced without delving into the "can't loot what you didn't kill"

But you can try enabling the addon

Keep in mind that you can't use guns with broken barrels

I mean you can, but dmg and pen are reduced

[fleet tulip]

i mean, i can repair them, i got lucky and found two stashes with basic tools, it's those stashes that have white icons on the PDA

[willow hawk]

As indicated by the stat next to the barrel condition

[graceful iron]

basic tools wont allow you to repair all types of guns and armor

[willow hawk]

For rifles you need advanced tools....

[graceful iron]

#│📚manual you still need advanced and expert

[willow hawk]

Same for medium armors

[fleet tulip]

[willow hawk]

And you can't sell guns and armors

[fleet tulip]

man i really need to get acquianted with all the mechanics of this game yet i see

[willow hawk]

So "fat loot" more like, scrap and parts to repair other stuff

[fleet tulip]

fair enough

[willow hawk]

So all in all it's balanced

Also most endgame rifles need advanced repair kit

I.e. expert tools

Or you repair them "manually"

[fleet tulip]

i guess you're right because i still haven't even repaired a single gun yet so i still haven't got the taste of the balance

[willow hawk]

By finding a good gun with a good barrel condition

[fleet tulip]

well damn

[willow hawk]

And yet you already try changing stuff

[fleet tulip]

i thought it was gonna be easy repairing stuff

but i now see it is not

once again, thank you for the answer kind sir!

[carmine wyvern]

@willow hawk was the Base carry weight increased to 50kg by default, because of all the new items introduced with Gamma?

because up until now i never had to use stimulants suchs as cocain, hercules or epinephrine even with a LOT of hoarding items

[willow hawk]

Yes

[carmine wyvern]

okay, thought so

[willow hawk]

Hum really

A lot of people are complaining that you need to carry too much stuff

I'm always struggling to get some space

Now if you play with tons of companions, then yes that's an issue

[carmine wyvern]

i dont

[willow hawk]

Ok

[carmine wyvern]

i play alone

[willow hawk]

Well, I don't know what you carry then

[carmine wyvern]

i do change my equipment to lift heavier loads

rn i got 1 goldfish and a gravi

[willow hawk]

Take a screenshot of your inventory please

[brisk zinc]

If you know what to do before hand, like what armor, what artefact, what item give you a boost, it's easy

[carmine wyvern]

i will as soon as I get home

[brisk zinc]

In fact, as you can see, Goldfish and a Gravi, of course

If you're like me who doesn't know shit, you get Hip

[carmine wyvern]

in short:

SR-25 4 Full Mags
MP7 4 Full Mags
around 120 rounds spare
Ranger Helmet/Gasmask
Wastelander Suit
Gravi
Goldfish
Camelbak
2nd biggest Backpack

I am around 115kg max. Carry Weight if i remember correctly

Strenght Level is around 18 I believe

[carmine wyvern]

I take pride in being a loot goblin

In Anomaly I used Cocaine a LOT due to the lower base carry weight, in Gamma up until now..... I have it in my inventory and it collects dust

[willow hawk]

Welp, you focus on Carry weight

[carmine wyvern]

i left out a lot of other stuff obviously, but i suppose i can just decrease the base carry weight

when i go out with a "empty" inventory i am around 48-55kg out of 115kg

[hasty plaza]

So what's the way you kill sin? I got a rookie in a trenchcoat soaking 6 AP 5.45 rounds. Are slugs good against them? I saw the 15% damage res thing, is there a counter to it?

[north turret]

I discovered a stash from npc missions but the box was empty? Is there something I’m missing

[versed fable]

Hello everyone. So I've been playing a bit, and as i got into a bit of artifact hunting and first time with fanatic noticed, that they come at very low quality and so seem weak. Is there a way to get artifacts back up to full? Cause even heart of the oasis is like, eh

[carmine wyvern]

#│📚manual

Keyword is the Artefact Melter

[paper arrow]

what's the difference between wound healing and health restoration?

nosorog has a health restoration upgrade and ace has wound healing but it's not apparent what the difference is

[carmine wyvern]

wound healing = bleeding goes away

Health restoration = your HP regen

[brisk zinc]

Go Vex I can't be bothered with english
That's what I wanted to say, thank you

[carmine wyvern]

no problem champ

[versed fable]

Ty!

[paper arrow]

ah thank you

[carmine wyvern]

Personally I would take the health regen over wound healing

[versed fable]

Somehow must have missed that point

[carmine wyvern]

just because it saves more important ressources (medkits/stimpaks)

and 90% of the time a bandage will do the trick just fine

the other 10% a tourniqet is needed

[ivory comet]

has anyone been to the labs after phantom got buffed? im serious i spent a whole day prepping for it, as high psy as possible but not a eco so its hard, fast shooting pistol, even the scar artifact

but they spawn in like crazy, i have to shoot one every few seconds, and i can never tell where they are because the fly through wall/map

[carmine wyvern]

one full stoneflower will make you invincible to psy damage

i stormed through MM with only Psy Pills which gave me 11% Res

if you have the ACH-EX Headgear you should be golden

[ivory comet]

Yeah i thought about just charging in and pull all the lever and jump out of the hole but theres so much snorks that kills me

[carmine wyvern]

the phantoms only spawn in the first third

[ivory comet]

ohhhhh really

[carmine wyvern]

after that its just bloodsuckers snorks and zombies

[ivory comet]

okok so i need to breeze through the elevator part

[carmine wyvern]

yea, in and around the elevator shaft bit was VERY annoying

after that it was okay

only problem i had was that a electra anomaly was ON the staircase you had to climb for the final lever

but that is random, so you might be more lucky

[indigo geyser]

What's the mod that replaces some of the Stalker Profiles with their faction? I want to disable it

[carmine wyvern]

its not a mod per se

but the error is acknowledged

[indigo geyser]

ah

[graceful iron]

#╙🖇mods-making-discussion message its dux's kit. dux is working on new portraits for stalkers and for now they have been replaced with those faction icons

[indigo geyser]

ohhhh okay, thank you

[terse sun]

Yeah I know I have to fix items myself, just trying to confirm this is the way the system was intended to be - in EFP for example, the technician will only repair the suit condition but not the parts themselves - also, only armor repair kits are able to restore parts in the suit along with some other sewing kits but those only work on retardants and fabrics - in GAMMA it would seem the technician can repair the whole suit with parts included. Also, I am able to completely repair my sunrise stalker suit atm by just using an emergency armor repair kit (in contrast, EFP would only let you fix the suit condition with that one)

Obviously this is not EFP but I'd love to hear a bit about these things, so far I was unable to find a definitive guide to this and then it makes me wonder whether my modpack install actually works correctly or are there parts of scripts perhaps corrupted, or something else. Also, I might be just overreacting to the latter. 🙂

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

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

[terse sun]

ah, thanks!

yep, all clear, the parts can be fixed along with the suit as long as they are above a certain treshold, if they drop below then you need other ways of bringing them up which may include armor repair kits or completely replacing fabrics - I prefer this option way more than I did with EFP

[velvet mantle]

Is it best to field strip or dismantle guns?

[north turret]

field strip does not wear down your tool, so it is free
dismantling allows you to take the barrel, and has a chance to give scrap metal
I prefer to dismantle, unless my multitool is very worn

[versed tusk]

i only dismantle if i want the barrel

[terse sun]

I always just bought the barrels and just field strip the guns, to me it's more cost efficient and metal scraps aren't hard to come by anyways, you'll get loads of them dismantling shovels and stuff

dismantling armors otoh is quite good since grooming kits are cheap

[versed tusk]

ye armors you have no other option anyways

but grooming kits are a plenty

[brisk zinc]

field strip does not wear down
And I only find out now

[fleet tulip]

nvm lmao

someone already answered (like literally someone else just asked that earlier above me)

[north turret]

ye, was just about to say

[fleet tulip]

I'm surprised it doesn't wear the tool down though, very nice, also explains why I could always field strip just about anything!

[terse sun]

well it makes sense

I mean, you can field strip the gun in real life with basically no tools anyways

cleaning though is another thing, but just field stripping isn't hard

[fleet tulip]

didn't know that since i don't own a gun, wait isn't that what forrest gump did in that one scene in the movie?

[brisk zinc]

Yes

[brisk zinc]

Good to know, Grok can't do anything about it

[terse sun]

It's not that anything has to be done about it, not sure about GAMMA yet (I only started playing this modpack yesterday) but other modpacks like EFP, Dark Signal etc. don't even require you to have a tool in your backpack to field strip the gun. I'd wager the same applies to this modpack.

Except for the barrel, but that also makes sense since barrels aren't necessarily easily removed from a gun in real life as well - there's lots of screws and adhesives in play to do that.

The rest of the gun is usually easy to disassemble (particularly military weapons) so that they are easy to maintain on the battlefield - there is no use in having a super gun requiring a massive toolbench to fix when something goes wrong with it - it could have catastrophic consequences for soldiers on the battlefield. You are supposed to, and expected to, be able to at least perform regular weapon maintenance (cleaning, oiling) on the battlefield.

[willow hawk]

Right click > field strip

Doesn't require tools

Hello guys I'm new to modding I have some questions first is can I add other addons with Gamma the second is it compatible with Desolation ?

[terse sun]

I wouldn't recommend Desolation in the first place, it's not a very stable mod to begin with

[median atlas]

Yeah I heard about that but I really like the gunplay and how the weapons scopes work

[graceful iron]

you can install other addons to gamma but make sure to install them correctly using mo2 and its recommended that you try the base pack without changes first

desolation isnt compatible, yet

[versed tusk]

Indeed, give it a good try first, then decide if you rly want to add/change

[median atlas]

Thank you for the quick answer cat I will try vanilla first as you say

[terse sun]

If you really want to play Desolation try it with EFP, there is a guide on how to merge those two, but even there you will get a lot of no-no's doing that

P.S.: I know it's not gamma related promoting EFP and whatnot, but then we should be spreading love to all you guys, you are really doing an amazing job with all these modpacks! Kudos!

[warped ginkgo]

Desolation isnt really a addon

its a mod, branch of anomaly

has its own engine edits and isnt public i think

[median atlas]

Wow so it like gunslinger for CoP

I though it was a addon thanks for the info

EFP is really great but it kill a bit of stalkers vibe for me but I will try it cheers boys thx for the help

[terse sun]

yeah it's more of a tarkov thing, feels fun for a while but I got fed up with filling in those mags lmao - also, to my taste, their outfit repairing system is quite a bit annoying

Today I fresh install Gamma on new PC and when I start new game in loadouts have sks, I strat new game and forget to change difficult so I delete old save and start new game but now I dont have sks and ppss to take. This loadouts change when start new game ? I try few times but I cant find sks

[versed tusk]

loadouts change on difficulty iirc

less points, less guns/armor

[willow hawk]

Not compatible with Desolation

Here we are fine about people talking of EFP, unlike in EFP server about people talking about gamma

EFP server is toxic anyways, that's why I left it

Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.9 GB usable) System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
Pen and touch Touch support with 9 touch points

[gusty laurel]

So I just went to sleep and when I woke up the mission Last Dawn: Find the Mercenary Scar updated and I no longer have a map objective. Should I reload the save before I slept or is this quest update normal and ok?

[storm rampart]

check you're quest and or the massages on the PDA it might already be done or failed you'll be able to see both in the PDA chat

But I'd reload when in doubt press F9

[terse sun]

your description of the problem you're having is very vague and it is impossible to tell what is causing your crashes. First of all what I would do is enable the Windows resource meter and chech the VRAM usage, being constantly @100% of VRAM usage is commonly a reason for CDTs, same goes for overloading your CPU core - XRay engine unfortunately lacks multi threading support so it's easy to overload even the best CPUs out there - you can alleviate this by bringing more single core performance by disabling hyper threading in bios.

Then again, if there is a game related issue, you may want to try to reinstall gamma probably.

[gusty laurel]

PDA just says mission updated. Never failed the quest, just no longer have a map marker.

[storm rampart]

Okay thank you and I know it's vague that's why I'm here there's just no clues to the problem with this one real pain I'll keep trouble shooting but now I have a better start point.

[storm rampart]

yeah in you're PDA if you hover over the quest in the task list it should give you more info but if there not really anything helpful there I'd just reload the save and go back

Use a repair kit for that weapon, it's gonna drain all the uses but you wanted an alternative

[north turret]

if the weapon is at least at 10% condition, you can use a cleaning kit
when it's above a certain threshold, you can drag-and-drop better parts onto it
but not barrels

cleaning kit can also directly maintain parts inside the gun, if they're above 60%
so a near-fucked gun is still worth keeping if it fits your fancy

[brisk zinc]

The cleaning kit is expensive as fuck though, and it's not something you find every day
The repair kit is literally the best alternative

[north turret]

Thank you

[sweet vale]

Are toolkits more common in Gamma, since they're pretty integral to progression?

Is there a way to check how much remaining ammo you have when using Mags?

Basic toolkit can be acquired in various quests as well as in green stashes or any white stash in the south.

Oh right, I always forget about MCM, well thanks a lot

[graceful iron]

hip is tougher than normal npcs by default

[willow hawk]

Broken legs > run on it > ayayayayayayayayayayayay

[sweet vale]

Seems a lot more sane than EFP tbh

Le eb

[willow hawk]

I don't like EFP system

[terse sun]

EFP system is such that once you repair your suit you don't want to go into fights anymore because each percentage loss of your suit means repair suffer

[willow hawk]

EFP has a lot of micromanagement yes

And a lot of animations

Stuff I'm not really a fan of

[terse sun]

oh yes, thank god you decided not to dabble into dressing animations 🙂

[willow hawk]

I like micromanagement but not tons of it that's why mags aren't the default

And I hate screen starring animation

[terse sun]

All I know is that the last fight in arena with exoskeleton and powered exoskeletons on is a nightmare if you have dressing animations on, let alone the backpack animation 😄

oh and with mag redux? If you take your exo off you lose mag slots as well - need to reload every single mag through inventory

then try doing this with ironman mode on 😄

[potent kestrel]

quick question so all of the furniture hideout placeables aren't loading their textures and aren't being available to traders. Furthermore, when I go to craft them it crashes my game. I do have a bunch of stuff enabled/disabled so does anyone know what priority controls hideout furniture? Also do you guys know if there are any files that conflict with it?

[winter sleet]

Is there an option to turn on the debug mode? Game just ate my sleepong bag and a tent

[random geyser]

all i know when i updated i had to do full update for the icons and stuff to work, it did not crash my game thou only icons were missing this was right when it was added

[versed fable]

I have come to a stupor, in quest line for artifact hunting, in army warehouses there is one place where, there is just no sample. In bloodsucker village near the tower, marker shows the building yet walking around with a scaner just shows nothing, and in other modpack i played, i even had svarog and still did not pick up anything

[sweet vale]

Is the experience significantly different for mercenaries?

like, for progression and shit

besides the obvious fact that starting gear is slightly better

[potent kestrel]

nope

[terse sun]

I'd even say mercs have it easy

[potent kestrel]

I mean you cant do certain questlines but nothing major

[random geyser]

some guy asked this before too i think samples dont need detector use eye to see em?

[potent kestrel]

In my opinion depending on your settings mercs are fairly hard early game but become exponentially easy after you get tools

[versed fable]

Yeah, they don't but even with the detector there is just nothing

I just pull it out to see if it is there for sure

[random geyser]

i had also hard time find some of the sample so i just skip mission LOL

[terse sun]

it's not that hard... Just stalk some mercs in limansk to get some nice monolith gear, then go to army warehouses and do quests there

[winter sleet]

In Dark Valley I had the artefact quest, one mark showed somewhere around the three graves in bandit base, but the quest said to go to the end of the tunnel with anomaly in it, so read the quest again

@versed fable ^

[versed fable]

Read through didn't get it still, but apparently it's like in a completely different house i ran past once and there wasn't beeping, but it is there

Welp :')

[winter sleet]

Weird

[versed fable]

I guess some more persistency solves it all after all

[blazing basin]

anyone knows how to fix this? it gets gradually worse the more i play, restarting doesnt fix it https://streamable.com/kmvbt7

[random geyser]

fits your name that is one heck of psyhedelic scope LMAO

[willow hawk]

Update data, full install, only install gamma add-ons

Make sure the whole folder is in your antivirus exception

And boot the installer in admin mode

[potent kestrel]

Thanks bigman really appreciate it

[junior spoke]

I'm wistful for how areas usually had stalkers in more places than just around the fire pit in ShoC. Any way to restore that? Just seems like everyone's constantly sitting by the fire now

Guess that's a general Anomaly thing though

[halcyon heath]

is there a way to enable the ammo counter on the hud?

also the ammo type

[junior spoke]

Ammo counter for the current clip?

[halcyon heath]

yeah, preferably with the ammo type

I never know type I'm using on shotguns

[willow hawk]

Y

Press Y

Ammo wheel

[halcyon heath]

oh didn't realize it was that simple lol

[willow hawk]

Selected ammo type is highlighted

[halcyon heath]

thank you!!

[sweet vale]

shouldn't I be like

fucking dead

since the radiation bar is full

[junior spoke]

The radiation resistance bar

The radiation bar is way to the bottom left above your energy bar

Not even in your inventory menu

It's empty, so you can't even see it

It has a radiation symbol to its left

[sweet vale]

also

what's the keybind for jams?

or, clearing them, rather

[versed tusk]

using mags redux? if not R

[crisp scroll]

what happened here? was this just ragdoll weirdness or did that merc have a destructo artifact

[south tangle]

anybody know how to disable campfire saves?

[versed tusk]

YACS in mcm

[south tangle]

k thx

[real copper]

What is the difference between maintaining parts and replacing parts? Which is better? I have the repair I need finally.

If I have a 100% barrel I can replace, can I avoid using the repair kit? The rest I have no parts with and would rather keep some of the kit for the future.

[versed tusk]

dont right click the gun and do maintain parts

open the workbench via basic tools or advanced, depending on what you need

[real copper]

Why? It isn't a shortcut for my tools?

Ah I see.

[versed tusk]

it uses the uses of the repair kit that way

if you field strip the parts out, you can use a file, ramrod or multitool to fix the parts

then exchange them with the menu of the basic/advanced

[real copper]

All parts are very low condition. It's why I want kit. I thought repair kits were for badly damaged parts?

[versed tusk]

you should have been collecting parts above 60% for that reason

[real copper]

Except I have a perfect barrel to replace the current one

[versed tusk]

using the repair kit is expensive

[real copper]

I've yet to find the parts. Should I just keep the Historic weapons repair kit?

[versed tusk]

you can in a pinch -but at least keep 1 charge on the historic

otherwise you need to craft or buy a new one

and once you get to tier 2 and above... ouch

better spend roubles on ammo & meds

[real copper]

I think I might be seeing the confusion. Do you mean I shouldn't use maintain parts because it uses the repair kit, but if I have a proper replacement part it doesn't use the repair kit, it simply allows me to use the repair kit indefinitely?

[versed tusk]

yes

sry am sleepy

[real copper]

Now I get it. That's why you said not to use the repair kit as little as possible. Sorry; first upgrade. And it'd all good thanks 👍

[versed tusk]

glad we got there

[real copper]

Eh, tired myself and despite posting here for a few weeks, I l play in bite sized pieces. The joys of being an adult

[versed tusk]

i know it all too well

[real copper]

But I know have a solid grasp on the repair system. As I've said here before, deceptively simple as long as you know what items you need.

Now I need to go collect 40 durable textiles, 11 transistors and one spark plug to insert into my Stalker's ass for mats for repair my suit and a new detector. I call a hands free detector; I use my Generator artifact to keep it powered.

[versed tusk]

dismantle radios/walkie talkies etc for transistors

sleeping bags, mats etc for textiles

[real copper]

Still so damn rare.

I just need to get used to just disassembling everything. I'll get better it as I start throwing stashes down at every outpost. I got already got 4 and I'm losing track.

That's why it took me a minute to reply earlier. Had to go to Army Warhoused to confirm I understood what you meant . I need to start keeping a IRL notepad for these things.

I've said it before and will say it again, we need a PDA journal we can write on.

Sometimes I come back to the game and spend an hour trying to understand what I did a week before.

[versed tusk]

embrace the inner lootgobling, loot it all

[real copper]

Also would be immersive, writing daily logs of your adventure.

[versed tusk]

i take everything that isnt nailed down, except guns/armor i dont need the parts because weight and durability

[real copper]

My lootgoblin tells me 'sell the junk, keep 10 cans of tuna at all times!" Is the problem.

[versed tusk]

yeah nah

dont sell the junk - its all worth something

and money is made via missions

[real copper]

Is it worth disassembling in the field or to wait? Does it affect weight?

[versed tusk]

meat and mutant parts can be sold if you dont cook it, that makes dosh just as artefacts you dont wanna use - but even then sell it at the correct vendor

yeah it is

i only strip what i need (is above 60% for guns) only disassemble for barrels

and armor i also disassemble for parts above 50%

[real copper]

I have a stove but I'm reluctant to rely on Zone meals. Is it worth the radiation?

[versed tusk]

you can get the better stove at butcher

then use fuel, vodka and water to purify it

a boar chop goes from ~300 ckal to 800 + buffs with the cheap vodka

also carry bottles with you to drink, keep cantines for cooking

[random geyser]

does this quest trigger some kinda ending?

[north turret]

There's no "real ending" buuut that's the last quest for Living Legend

[real copper]

I do keep bottles. So should I ditch m my field cooking kit for Trappers? Does it improve kcal and reduce radiation? Or do you mean purify as in drink it after eating?

[random geyser]

its sandbox style so it dont end right?

[north turret]

Yepp!

[versed tusk]

the better cooker offers more recipes, and it uses vodka + the fuel on cooking. removes rads and goves double the calories

• stamina regen and other buffs

[real copper]

This game is sandbox and basically you role-playing with yourself as a dude in the Zone, but there are actual, persistent missions to do.

[north turret]

And it's all Putinka vodka so make sure to stockpile that stuff

[dense hearth]

having an issue where everytime i use the blue and white pill bottles my game CTD?

[random geyser]

i did take all best shit with me

[lyric steeple]

O baby, ill be in my bunk

[real copper]

@versed tusk Ah, I see. I'll probably sell off my normal kit for better one soon. Start moving into some delicious mutant meats 😋

[north turret]

Also, a lil tip for this. The field cooking kit allows ya to brew coffee for lil price since charcoal's really cheap! The Multistove uses higher grade fuels sooo it'll be best to keep that for the purified meals

[versed tusk]

cooking kit is free use if you go close to a bonfire

[north turret]

Coffee's a nice boost for very little money, I like to keep a lot just for that

[versed tusk]

no coal needed

[real copper]

@north turret can you use the multistove at bonfires?

[north turret]

Yup, that too! So ya don't even need to spend money for that if ya prepare ahead

Nop, that needs Kerosine or higher tier fuels

[versed tusk]

kerosene you should keep too - if you wanna bring a gun to max condition, it gives a +25 repair boost. i use it on the first clean

then i use the spray/oil etc

also the cloth masks - keep those

[north turret]

Kerosine's absolutely awesome, always keep it

[versed tusk]

great for repair

[real copper]

I've yet to see it but I'll keep it.

[north turret]

The best source is crime

In other words, killin Stalkers

Ya often catch one of 'em carryin Kerosine

[versed tusk]

kerosene is like 4k at traders

and has 3 uses

[north turret]

Mhm! Pretty inexpensive

Buy the multistove from Butcher, by the way

He sells it for cheapest

[real copper]

Imagine buying stuff when Renegades exist? Easy picking, it's getting late. I wanna play the game before I turn into an old man and decide I need go eat and sleep.! Thanks ya'll!

[north turret]

Hehehe, good luck!!

[dense hearth]

should i reinstall everything?

[north turret]

What's exactly the problem?

[real copper]

@north turret Luck; heh. I got something better...it's called savescumming kid

[dense hearth]

having an issue where everytime i use the blue and white pill bottles my game CTD? even after i drop the others and debug some more into my bag to use those

[versed tusk]

post your log to #old-bugs

!crash

[raw raft]

Send your crash log here, it's inside your Anomaly folder, this is the complete path: Anomaly/appdata/logs. Send the file called xray_yournamehere.txt, you just need to drag and drop the file here, Discord will handle it for you.
Make sure you're not using any extra mods.

[north turret]

Oh jeez, I guess I'll take it back then ehehe

[random geyser]

save scumming allowed inside areas like sarcographus

died 10 time maybe now and guns good

[potent kestrel]

I know theres a channel here where it tells you how to increase the brightness in game but I cant seem to find it could someone direct me to it please?

[random geyser]

i got all good gear still die

🐽 lmao get tired of all meds you just taken -> clik accidentally all coke you had ->reload

[real copper]

@random geyser it's hard to tell in a screenshot but aren't you taking psy damage? It's my understanding that blue hue is psy damage from anomalies

[warped ginkgo]

isn't that just the nvg effect

[random geyser]

yeah there was pesaudodog

[real copper]

It adds to the question: Why do I get body damage from random anomalies? I get the red screen and sway by being near some anomalies. What is causing damage? I'm not in the anomaly. Between that effect and the mercs,, Wild Territory is thrashing me.

[random geyser]

did you have limb dmg ?

[real copper]

I wasn't observant enough, honestly. I'd get close to anomaly (not in it) and my body damage would keep going down. Didn't think to look at limbs. Figured anomalies would distribute damage. But I know I wasn't damaged beforehand if that's what you mean.

[random geyser]

look for limbs bad when head gone

[potent kestrel]

idk its probably something with anomaly overhaul it happens to me aswell I find it pretty annoying

[real copper]

My limbs looked find. I only lost health close to anomalies and not limb damage and only some anomalies; it stops when you leave the area.

@potent kestrel so it's not intentional? Bro

[warped ginkgo]

electra anomalies cause damage if you have low res outfits

[random geyser]

did you go area that need psyhelm with no psyhelm?

[warped ginkgo]

something like the thermal anomaly

[random geyser]

oh i reply wrong i think you get it

[real copper]

Psy anomalies are easy to see with the blue. Maybe it eas Electra. Definitely not thermal. I would understand being near thermal anomalies causing damage, electro not so much

[orchid remnant]

Any clues to where this quest is located? Is it just a road inside of Swamps? a road leading from a map into swamp?

[potent kestrel]

no the damage is intentional when you stand nexto like an elctro flame and i think springboards also but idk

[random geyser]

the x16 got the psy dmg ye

get psyhelm 1st

[real copper]

@potent kestrel I get thermal from heat but you either get electrocuted or you don't. It's not a big deal but my smootbbrain doesn't grok it.

[warped ginkgo]

read DAO page and see if you can disable it

[real copper]

@random geyser Got one

[random geyser]

then must been somthing else? 1st thing i think is psy dmg...

[real copper]

@warped ginkgo Eh, it doesn't piss me off. I just want to know what causes it.

[random geyser]

no idea then, did you get calibrated or rushed psy helm i allways wait for good one so i dont know if negatives of get rushed one

[real copper]

@random geyser I'm not trying to be rude my dude but psy damage is probably the most distinctive thing in the modpack.

Or anomaly, I mean. Unless I'm unaware that psy damage can be taken without the blue hue, in which case, my apologies. Other than psy mutants of course

[random geyser]

well i just thougt of area see psy gauge in hud if no other things to see it maybe its something else then?

[dense hearth]

is there a way to save your game file?

[random geyser]

b4 forgot eat

[random geyser]

the file you can copy files from save dir

[north turret]

im downloading gamma for the first time, i followed the video instructions but when i ran the game it showed me the modpacks loading window but when i got to the menu and character creation, it was just anomaly at a weird resolution. I deleted the mod folder from gamma, re-updated the data, and clicked full installation again but now only 187 of 300+ mods are active and flagged with red boxs. i just wanna check here before repeating the delete and re-install trick so i dont get flagged as a bot.

[dense hearth]

so just copy the saved games folder in anomaly?

[carmine breach]

Same thing just happened to me, after killing the bandits in the northeast base.

[random geyser]

ye make backup of file if need

[random geyser]

unless it was you i think some one else had this prob too? never happen to me

[north turret]

should i just re install again?

[buoyant stump]

is fast travel free between stashes?

[random geyser]

yes enable in options

[carmine breach]

the guy I replied to, @thick pawn, was the only recent reference to this bug I could find. But it happened right as I killed a bandit in the northeast base of Truck Cemetery

[buoyant stump]

in game options or do i have to disable some addon

[random geyser]

you can go in gameplay options and enable stash travel (backbag travel)

[carmine breach]

Just going to avoid them for now

[buoyant stump]

thanks, does it only work between player made stashes like backpacks or regular ones too

[random geyser]

that one is your stashed bags

[buoyant stump]

sounds good

[random geyser]

personally i play make stashes to travel fast trave off

[buoyant stump]

yeah im thinking when i start moving up north i dont want to move all my stuff so i was worried about that

[random geyser]

all can be customized way you want play its nice😉

[buoyant stump]

yes very good 👍

[buoyant stump]

ok just to confirm the option says backpack travel state and its on, that means stash travel is turned on correct?

[gusty kiln]

If you redid a Full Install within 1 or 2 hours of the last time you did it, chances are you already got flagged as a bot and temporarily banned.

Wait a few hours before trying again, and be sure to follow the guide at #old-how-to .
Also remember to have the latest installer (v 3.7), which can be found in #📢announcements

[sweet vale]

so

is it possible to get to Dead City without going through a psy field?

[gusty kiln]

Yes, go through the “side entrance” in Yantar, or through Army Warehouses

[sweet vale]

I got psy fielded in Yantar

[gusty kiln]

Side entrance, the one on the Northwest of the map

[gusty kiln]

Yeah, that one on the top left of the map. That leads to Dead City

[sweet vale]

my route was this

got psy fielded on the x

maybe I need to hug the border

[gusty kiln]

It shouldn’t affect you THAT far, but keep some distance from the lab walls

[sweet vale]

will do

sigma rule 235: run through the zone at 3 AM with no flashlight

I made it

[sweet vale]

Can I take the barrel out of a gun without dissasembling it completely?

[carmine wyvern]

I find that Level Transition incredibly cheesy

[sweet vale]

It's sort of necessary for mercs because if not you'd have to go through Rostok

Which means either relying on a disguise

Or sprinting into wild territory

[buoyant stump]

i dont think its possible no

[sweet vale]

Realistic and immersive experience

[dense hearth]

did the animation where you put on an take off helmets get taken out?

[dense hearth]

nvm just going to do a full re-install on SSD this time

[brisk zinc]

No

[sweet vale]

That's fucked up.

[brisk zinc]

I had a conversation about it

It's realistic to say the least

It's the only thing you actually need tools for

[sweet vale]

I mean, sort of

But it's not realistic to literally destroy the entire gun

Besides some of the internal components

[brisk zinc]

The rest of the gun can be done without tools, matter of fact, if you field dress the gun, you don't wear down the tool

[brisk zinc]

It's just a way to have everything in one go, wearing the tool

You can avoid that with the other option if you really can't stand it, since it's fucked up for you

But the barrel will come off only with the disassemble

[brisk zinc]

Many animations have been disabled for a variety of problems
Not only for that, since they are unrealistic animations, it's literally just the screen moving, it's to make the game more "quick"
If you press + when you are in the game you reenable them

[carmine wyvern]

You dont

Dead City - > Army Warehouse - > Truck Cemetery - > Garbage -> Aprogrom - > Yantar south side

[sweet vale]

Or Dead City - > Yantar

[carmine wyvern]

Cheesy

[sweet vale]

Man...

Do I look like the the motherfucker who will spend a whole hour

To go from two points that are clearly adjacent to each other?

Nah.

Sorry.

[carmine wyvern]

Sry there is no good reason why the Vanilla Dead City to Yantar drops you into the middle of the Psy Field but the modded one dumps you out 200 Meters West and its A-OK

[dense hearth]

so were animations like the backpack and food and drink just recently disabled?

[sweet vale]

Could also do Dead City > Army Warehouse > Rostok(sprint past duty checkpoint) > Wild Territory > Yantar

But uhh... fuck the conflagrator

[carmine wyvern]

Always were afaik

[dense hearth]

oh ok

[warped ginkgo]

[dense hearth]

@brisk zinc so if i enable an animations from FDDA i'm opening up my game to issues?

[sweet vale]

I'm guessing you weren't linking "Anomaly fonts 1440p"?

What mod were you showing me

[carmine wyvern]

Additional Level Transitions

[thick chasm]

Hey, I'm having issues wrapping my head around early game progression, particularly crafting. I've read through #│📚manual, so I'm not completely in the dark.

Basically I'd appreciate any advice or recommendations for how to progress earlier on. I'm particularly confused about what to loot (off of bodies, for example), since I can't sell the clothing or guns and can only break them down to usually shoddy components, and every gun I can find is damaged beyond repair from the look of it.

I'm just doing a basic beginner Loner playthrough to start with.

[brisk zinc]

They've been disabled for months

The backpack was added some time ago

Then it got disabled

That one bring problems, it's certified

Food and drink are still enabled

You don't have the wearing stuff animation, the skin mutant animation and the disassemble animation
Oh and the pick up items animations as well

[brisk zinc]

Yes you do, it's seriously a given, you will have problems sooner or later

And you can forget about this channel and #old-bugs

You'll need to use #🔨modded-gamma-support

[dense hearth]

so pretty much; just play the game as is, don't dig in to the in game settings too much.

[brisk zinc]

Anything but animations is most of the time fine

Animations is a big no-no

They bring problems

The rest is okay

Then it's a case by case thing but you can tweak stuff to your liking

If you're not sure you can ask

You can use those animations if you really want to, just know that sooner or later you will have problems, it's something that you can't escape

I've seen it happen countless times

[thick chasm]

Just one clarifying question: so, in the end, will they indeed have problems now or later if they enable those animations?

[brisk zinc]

Later

It's not something that happen the moment you enable them

[thick chasm]

how insidious

[brisk zinc]

Very

It's something that you can't remove

[dense hearth]

yeah i wasn't having issues with the animations at first.. but a couple of days later in the swamp the game CTD everytime i tried to use pills to post heal

[brisk zinc]

It could be something else, not necessarily that

[brisk zinc]

It basically get stuck to your save, you can try to load a different one when you're 100% that you don't have that specific problem but it can come back at anytime

[thick chasm]

Ah, so it could be hours before you even notice the issue

[brisk zinc]

Look up on here "busy hands", a world will open up to you

[thick chasm]

and who knows where the issue started

I wonder why those animations cause this

[brisk zinc]

If suddenly you can't open your inventory, reload, use a gun, talk with people, interact, etc., that's busy hands

Basically the issue I was talking about

[thick chasm]

Huh, pretty nasty bug isn't it

[brisk zinc]

Basically, in two words

You get stuck in one animation

Like you're doing one and you need to do another

But you don't finish the first one

And you get stuck

That's busy hands for you, hence the name, because your hands are busy

And yes it's a pretty nasty bug

We realized that the problem was coming from the animations by doing various tests
In fact NOW the problem doesn't even exist anymore, it's much rarer, it's always there but it's not something you get because reasons

[thick chasm]

I find the game absolutely unplayable if my camera doesn't shift a little bit when I take off my backpack

immersion broken

[brisk zinc]

Shit mod pack, Grok fix

[thick chasm]

Might be off-topic, but I think this is an issue in Tarkov too, or something like it

[brisk zinc]

Like I said you can use them but just know that busy hands is always around the corner...
Try to not spam animations anyway, that's the golden rule

[thick chasm]

Similar symptoms, only fixable by rebooting IIRC

[dense hearth]

Yeah, i was in the swamp using animations alot then it got me caught up in busy hands

i was like wtf

[brisk zinc]

Even the disassemble animation caused busy hands and that was an animation spamming alright

[brisk zinc]

Now you know what that was

[dense hearth]

so i have one more questions that's been burning my mind.. how do you increase your rank?

[brisk zinc]

By doing quests IIRC

[dense hearth]

that's how you upgrade yer chevron rank? kk, ill keep grinding then. 🙂 thanks for yer help man

[potent kestrel]

so this is new

anyone know what addon might be causing it?

Also thats my PDA that I spawned with

so I bought a new PDA and still the same thing

[potent kestrel]

Alright so what happened was I had the "Broken PDA" setting enabled in ZCP in the MCM

[willow hawk]

Keep killing enemies stalkers

[willow hawk]

There's an option in MCM ZCP I think to make your first PDA broken. You most likely ticked that....

Don't touch what you don't understand?

Or rather, don't touch what you don't understand to then ask questions about what you potentially did ...

MCM is good, but Changing values for the sake of it blindly is very bad

Everything is already tweaked. It's better to look for things you don't like and change them, than changing stuff blindly

[tidal raft]

GAMMA's MCM is like eldritch horror, and new players are like the young mage thinking they're hot shit.
Later they complain about summoning Cthulhu after messing with said eldritch horror.

[willow hawk]

[potent kestrel]

Listen in my defense I thought it meant you could find broken PDAs like the ones in RF missions and then hand them in for cash rewards

[split cape]

so uh how do i use the artifact melter to repair one?

the condition is plus 0

[graceful iron]

you need multiple of the same artefact to empower them

[split cape]

ohhh

[brisk zinc]

You already can, you can found PDAs on dead stalkers and give them to traders

[potent kestrel]

This is gonna sound Hella dumb and it is but like I thought it would give dead bodies the actual pda that can't be opened or anything and can only be returned

[fleet tulip]

do effects of energy-inducing items stack? such as taking a caffeine tablet + chocolate bar

[graceful iron]

no. the longer lasting one always overrides all others, but the sleepiness and dizziness reductions stack

[fleet tulip]

darn

thanks for the answer, much appreciated, for the mean time i have to haul ass back to sidorovich

btw is it for any item with effects? such as radiation too

meaning i can't chug a liter of vodka to reduce radiation faster

[graceful iron]

as far as i know, it goes for all effects

[fleet tulip]

well crap, that's unfortunate

i have the common case of glowing worse than a glowstick

you may have heard of it, maybe not

[storm dome]

hello, just started installing gamma, will it work properly in DX9? my pc isnt powerful enough to run it on DX11

[bronze bear]

why?

[split cape]

LOL love it when that happens

[brisk zinc]

No, GAMMA doesn't work with DX9

Use DX8 or DX10

For DX8 follow this

!dx8

[raw raft]

If you're playing (or if you want to play) with DX8, you'll need to do something first (this also applies to NVG): #╭📖faq message

[bronze bear]

i also dont think my pc can handle dx11. ive got a 1070 and an old 6th gen i5 and i tend to crash often

is dx 10 a better choice?

[brisk zinc]

Try it

[bronze bear]

wont mess up my save?

and should i check the box marked "reset graphics settings"?

[brisk zinc]

No

[brisk zinc]

Hell no

[bronze bear]

thanks, falco

[willow hawk]

Only DX8

Or DX10 or DX11

Living Legend quest question. After you do, in outskirts, both rogue and strelok preparation quest, kill the pseudo giant and get into the lab for the documents, what do you have to do after? Strelok doesn't give me any quest at this time

and I don't have a Living Legend task in my pad

[stable stag]

Stitch has a task to complete too

[median lagoon]

ahh, back to svadorosk then

no that is Nimble, Stitch is at the laundrette ok

thank you

oh my bad

[brisk zinc]

This is the answer to your problem anyway

Just know that even with the guide you could (and probably will) have problems

In the mean time the best thing to do is to not use them

[median atlas]

you are the goat I'm going there right now thanks

[gritty sandal]

Do I still run Economy no BAS Injection if I intend to sell/buy weapons/armor but still keep GAMMA economy?

[somber coral]

How would I go about getting a clear sky pathfinder suit as a clear sky member? Would have thought I could exchange one of the other faction's 'elite' SEVA suits for it but that doesn't seem to be the case.

[carmine wyvern]

Is there a way to move the Light Level Stealth Icon?

It being far right instead of with the other HUD elements is a.... weird choice

[versed tusk]

Not that i know. Maybe it has an option on reinstall?

[carmine wyvern]

Good point

[brisk zinc]

!vanilla

[raw raft]

If you want to be able to buy and sell guns/armors again: #╭📖faq message

[brisk zinc]

@austere mortar this is for you

[carmine wyvern]

Would deffo be sweet

[brisk zinc]

He always ask for feedback, this is proper feedback

[austere mortar]

its with the rest of HUD

weird choice is when u install HUD addons and then tell me i choose weird placement xd

one min i'll find it

do u want to tweak it in game or know coordinates u need?
if second then ui_light_gem.xml there will be gem_bar and coordinates

if first then light_gem.script and under CUIScriptWnd.Update(self)
add

local xx = 990
local yy = 660
self.gem:SetWndPos(vector2():set(xx, yy))

and change those 2 with reloading saves ;]

[gritty sandal]

I saw it, but it didn't say anything about the Economy no BAS Injection when utilizing Economy while being able to sell/buy.

[brisk zinc]

If I'm getting your question right, you're asking if you can keep "Economy no BAS Injection"?
English isn't my first language so please understand

[carmine wyvern]

Weird not for me, i didnt change anything in Gamma that was HUD related

And when I enabled the Stealth Icon its in the bottom right corner of my screen

[gritty sandal]

No problem. I was wondering if it is a required mod or if I have to remove it if I want to still run GAMMA Economy *with being able to sell/buy guns/armor.

[brisk zinc]

I seriously don't understand the problem, I'm not joking, I don't understand

Isn't that guide good enough?

It should do what you want: buy/sell weapons and armors

Vex help me out here

[gritty sandal]

Yes. It does a great job at showing you how to do that.

[carmine wyvern]

Either way, i will try it out next time I got some freetime

[brisk zinc]

"But"

[carmine wyvern]

Sry I missed 90% of the convo

He wants to sell Guns & Armors but still want to keep BaS Items?

[gritty sandal]

It also says what to disable if I no longer want Economy.
What it doesn't say (unless its implied, but that is why I am asking to ensure I have the correct answer) is if I need to disable the Economy no BAS Injection or not when I edit the files to be able to sell/buy.

I have no idea what BaS is, that is why I am asking.

[carmine wyvern]

BaS is Boomsticks and Sharpsticks

The fancy tarkov guns

[gritty sandal]

Gotcha, ok.

[carmine wyvern]

BaS Injection is the Implementation of the new items thar BaS brings

[brisk zinc]

If this is the case, I THINK disabling that thing doesn't remove them, it would be very stupid since GAMMA as a whole is very tied with BaS, you can't just remove something from BaS and expect GAMMA to work

[carmine wyvern]

Implementation in the sense that Traders and NPCs can have the items

[versed tusk]

That's goo info - thx XCVB

[brisk zinc]

Then this is correct: "it would be very stupid since GAMMA as a whole is very tied with BaS, you can't just remove something from BaS and expect GAMMA to work"

I don't have the confirmation for it

Because people 100% of the time just ask "hey I want to do this, how can I do it" and it ends there

[gritty sandal]

So if I am keeping Economy, being able purchase/sell guns/armor, would I run the Economy no BAS Injection mod, or not?

[brisk zinc]

I've never heard any complaints about the lack of BaS weapons, so I think it's still possible to find them

[gritty sandal]

My interpretation of no injection is not allowing traders to sell those mod items.

[carmine wyvern]

Honestly I can tell you

[carmine wyvern]

Mine aswell

[brisk zinc]

Like I said:

"I don't have the confirmation for it, because people 100% of the time just ask "hey I want to do this, how can I do it" and it ends there. I've never heard any complaints about the lack of BaS weapons, so I think it's still possible to find them"

This is for Vex as well ofc

I mean try it at this point

If you can't find it, let me know

I'll add it

[gritty sandal]

I can't say if I am having issues as this is my first stalker experience ever.

I just want to make sure I don't fuck my mods up lol.

[carmine wyvern]

I only ever disabled/enabled optional Mods from Gamma that I knew dont have a big impact on the main game

[gritty sandal]

I love the modpack, but just wanted to be able to sell/buy gear. I don't want to change any other aspect.

[carmine wyvern]

Even if you fuck it up, you can always re-download

[carmine wyvern]

I would suggest first following what the

!vanilla

[raw raft]

If you want to be able to buy and sell guns/armors again: #╭📖faq message

[carmine wyvern]

Command tells you

[gritty sandal]

Yeah, I followed it 100%

But it doesn't mention enabling/disabling the injection if you change the files and keep economy.

I suppose its implied though.

[carmine wyvern]

I would play a bit and if you find weapons/items from BaS everything works fine

[brisk zinc]

I just don't understand what you mean with "keeping the economy"

[gritty sandal]

Economy Mod.

[brisk zinc]

You're already changing it by bringing back weapons and armors

[brisk zinc]

Yes, why can't you do that?

[gritty sandal]

I can

I did do it

lol

[brisk zinc]

Then what's the problem? (again seriously I know it sound like I'm joking)

[gritty sandal]

What is your primary language?

Might be able to conversate in it.

[brisk zinc]

Italian 👀
I don't think you're italian (it would be nice though)

[carmine wyvern]

German here but I am not a big of a helo i suppose

[gritty sandal]

I know little Spanish. Would just make it worse 😂

[gritty sandal]

So the first part of the guide says what mods to disable to be able to buy/sell guns and shit right?

[brisk zinc]

Yes

That's correct

And apparently it works as well

You don't know if you will find BaS stuff sold by dealers by doing all that stuff?

That's the problem?

[gritty sandal]

So the first part says disable GAMMA economy and the BAS injector to be able to buy/sell guns.

The second part of the guide says you can buy/sell guns and still run GAMMA Economy if you delete a file (which I did, I want to keep GAMMA Economy).

I was just trying to clarify if I did the second option, do I still need to run the BAS injector or not.

[austere mortar]

yes because addon is surprisingly for vanilla and vanilla has ammo counter on the right bottom ;]
when i said "installing addons" i mean modpacks aswell, whatever changed in terms of HUD there

[gritty sandal]

[gritty sandal]

BUT since it doesn't mention removing it, I believe it is implied to still run it. I have 0 knowledge on stalker, or any of these mods, which is why I just wanted a quick clarification but it made me realize that language barriers are annoying

[brisk zinc]

Ah so basically "do I need to keep/disable the BaS injector"?

[gritty sandal]

yes

[brisk zinc]

Just follow the guide then

[gritty sandal]

NO LOL

YOU DONT UNDERSTAND

its ok

[brisk zinc]

Ah wait I got it

[gritty sandal]

The guide does not say enable/disable IF I do the 2nd option.

[brisk zinc]

I have an idea

@lapis silo

Bring your butt in here

You're the author of this damned guide

[gritty sandal]

Falco

I appreciate the tenacity

But holy fuck I am so frustrated 😂

[brisk zinc]

We'll get to the bottom of this, don't worry

[gritty sandal]

I just want a simple yes/no so I can go to sleep

Ok, last try.

fuck it

hop in voice

I need a conclusion

[brisk zinc]

@gritty sandal

Wait

I can't hear you

Just a sec

It's Discord

[gritty sandal]

are you sure it isnt the language barrier

[brisk zinc]

Go now

Yes I can hear you

Yes it makes sense

We can try this at this point

Don't disable anything
Just delete that file in GAMMA Economy
And keep everything

Let me know if that works

Because I really don't know

I can add it to the guide if I know if it works

[gritty sandal]

Yeah, I did that. 😂 Glad we figured it out.

[lapis silo]

Yes, keep Bas injector enabled @brisk zinc @gritty sandal

if you have gamma economy enabled

[gritty sandal]

thanks!

[lapis silo]

Am working, so I didnt see the message earlier. Hope yall had a good time in VC though

[brisk zinc]

Yeah don't worry

So to keep GAMMA Economy enabled, you need to delete that file and keep that BAS thing enabled as well

I'll add it to the guide, this was literally the first time someone asked for keeping the economy + selling stuff

[lapis silo]

Yeah fair, I also did not think about it before

[brisk zinc]

So basically just to be sure

Keep both "Economy" and "No BAS injection" enabled, delete that file

[lapis silo]

Yes, basically, if economy is enabled, also enable the injector. One goes with the other

[brisk zinc]

#╭📖faq message

Here, check it out

It should be correct

[lapis silo]

Also, @brisk zinc about your question in #╭📖faq : You can move Gamma around, as long as you always move the whole install folder and respecify the path in MO2, if you move the Anomaly install as well, as Ald said. I did this when reinstalling Windows with no problems at all.

[lapis silo]

Yup, looks good

[chilly nebula]

@willow hawk Tell me, my good man, what do you actually think of this mod that you need certain gas masks, filters and oxygen tanks for all areas?
In my head that sounds somehow very appropriate, or is that a bit far away from your idea of the game?

[brisk zinc]

I've tried to do that but MO2 didn't recognize my new GAMMA thing... so I guess I can just move everything without deleting anything?

[lapis silo]

How do you mean, what Gamma thingy?

[brisk zinc]

I mean

Anomaly is one folder, okay

You can directly put in MO2 where is it

And it works

You can't with GAMMA

That's why the full install comes in

[lapis silo]

Ahh, I will show you

The Gamma shortcut on your desktop really links to the MO2 executable here in the install file

[brisk zinc]

I mean in two words, maybe it's more easy, you can move everything and you can tell MO2 where Anomaly is (as in, the new folder)
But your MO2 mod list is still empty

[brisk zinc]

Yes

[lapis silo]

So you can make a shortcut of that, place it on your desktop and change the icon to the gamma one

Boom, Gamma thingy

Thats what I did

[brisk zinc]

So like, let's say I have Anomaly and GAMMA in C: and I want to move them to D:

1. I move everything to D:, I don't delete anything, I leave everything as it is
2. If the shortcut doesn't work, I can just recreate it and put it in my desktop
3. MO2 works because it's inside the GAMMA folder
4. I move Anomaly (inside MO2) to the new folder
5. You still have all your mods

Right?

[frozen lynx]

is the pkm or rpk any good?

[lapis silo]

Yes, exactly that

[brisk zinc]

Hm, okay

[lapis silo]

Video for the shortcut thing, if needed. Took me some time to find the icon file the first time lol

[brisk zinc]

!shortcut

[raw raft]

The installer didn't create a shortcut for G.A.M.M.A.: #╭📖faq message

[brisk zinc]

I have the guide for it

[lapis silo]

Ohhhh, very nice didnt see

[graceful rover]

regarding the hunters kit, does it actually do amything and does it have to be equipped?

[brisk zinc]

Guess I'll remake the guide with your video in it

[graceful rover]

like ive never felt any significant difference, but id like to go a bit more onto the mutant hunting side of things

[lapis silo]

Yeah it does have an effect and you can set in the Vanilla Game settings if it needs to be equipped or not to have an effect

It's not a huge bonus you get, but you do notice for cats, chimeras and other mutants that give a lot of parts

[brisk zinc]

#╭📖faq message
@lapis silo check it out pls

[lapis silo]

Yup, looking good

[versed tusk]

you resized the tabs

ah

[viscid tendon]

just realised it was #🔨base-gamma-support not #old-bugs

[versed tusk]

still, resize the tabs

[viscid tendon]

uuhh...how?

[versed tusk]

lol

you have versions big

and the separators can be moved

[viscid tendon]

?

[versed tusk]

windows 101 - one sec

move those separators

all the way to the left is NAMES

resize them

[viscid tendon]

got it now

excuse the brainfart i just had....

[versed tusk]

hahaha no worries

[graceful iron]

the addon was suggested more than once in #old-suggest and grok already gave his opinions there. dont ping grok for no important reason and "suggest" addons in the wrong channel

[frozen lynx]

anyone know what the flatness upgrades do?

[graceful iron]

bullet velocity, with the new stats its literally visible when upgrading

[austere mortar]

me rejected

[austere mortar]

its gotta be compatible with everything tho, u can try to install it on top of modpack

[austere mortar]

talking about toxic air

[brisk zinc]

Ah okay

[carmine wyvern]

Whom's't've summoned me

I am absolutely destroying my lungs tonight so probably tomorrow or Sunday

[sweet vale]

is there a doctor at the bandit base?

ran over here thinking it was still the freedom HQ

💀

yeah there is one

awesome

[magic wadi]

Fellas, what do I do with damaged artifacts caught in the early game? Sidorovich doesn't buy them, do Ecologists up in Yantar do?

[carmine wyvern]

Artifact Melter

[graceful iron]

you need to empower or fuse them with an artefact melter #│📚manual

artefacts reinvention

[carmine wyvern]

Scientists: Yantar, Jupiter

[graceful iron]

minimum condition to sell them is 30%

[static lake]

So I failed the mission where you need to get artifacts in certain places. it just randomly popped up when I wasn't in the level. can the scientist die even when im out of the level?

[carmine wyvern]

Ye

[static lake]

damn. so is he just like gone now?

[carmine wyvern]

There are others

[graceful iron]

random npcs will eventually get themselves killed

[magic wadi]

Gotcha, thanks

[static lake]

ah alright. so it's like a radient quest? I thought it was like a main quest sorta thing lol almost had a heart attack

[graceful iron]

if you take quests from them, make sure to complete them as fast as possible

[carmine wyvern]

There are some that a stationary in Bases

They almost never move out of there

[graceful iron]

oh wait, its the artefact hunters questline ?

those npcs are supposed to be immortal

[graceful iron]

the quest isnt important, only if you want to complete the questline

[carmine wyvern]

Except if the player kills them

[chilly nebula]

You're right, of course, and I could have searched through the "suggestions". However, I only asked the question here because I was interested in his opinion. So it was "only" a question of interest instead of a suggestion.

[tardy jacinth]

hi just curious what does the mod warfare patch actually do?

[graceful iron]

allows you to start a game with story mode + warfare. you still need the Alife overhaul addon tho

[sweet vale]

Also, where can I find army rifle kits?

[graceful iron]

you craft them

#│📚manual or check the manual in the pda

[tardy jacinth]

thank you

[austere mortar]

Falco's paranoia

[brisk zinc]

I'm literally going insane and you joke about it

[austere mortar]

[empty phoenix]

is this correct app for Nvidia control panel?

[sweet vale]

Also, I've checked a couple stashes that I remembered from Clear Sky and previous mods, but they were all empty

is that intended?

seems kind of strange

Do stashes only spawn loot if you've found them legitimately?

[graceful iron]

yes. you need to get stash locations for stashes to have anything meaningful in them

#│📚manual has all this info

to progress you need to do quests and obtain stash locations as rewards, get toolkits from stashes and craft repair kits to repair guns and armor you looted

[clear lark]

Hello guys, i was wondering what kit should I use to upgrade my binnoculars. It doesnt appear in the workbench tooltip

And when i choose the binnoculars in the upgrade tab it crashes my game often

[versed tusk]

dont upgrade binos

[graceful iron]

you only need the 3 toolkits (basic/advanced/expert) to upgrade it, but its not recommended to upgrade binocs

[clear lark]

Why not? Would really come in handy in this ironman playtrhough

Well, looks that I cant tdo it anyways haha

[graceful iron]

you can try to get the zoom upgrades but the high contrast and NVG ones dont work very well

[versed tusk]

the game usually also crashes when you try

[clear lark]

I see

Thanks for the help 🙂

[graceful rover]

you have to be insane to be a mod, soo

[versed tusk]

just like any service in RL. it takes a ton of effort, patience and calmness

[sweet vale]

is this hill by the swamp tunnel where Doctor lives supposed to be fucking impossible to walk up?

[versed tusk]

its an invisible wall - end of map

[sweet vale]

bruh,,,,

you literally have to go there to proceed with the main quest

[versed tusk]

go around the left
