[carmine wyvern]

if you have that aswell you need a Toolkit either Basic/Advanced or Expert

rightclick one of the Basic/Advanced/Expert Kits and open Workbench

then you replace the parts of your Mask

you dont have to replace every parts of your mask, just until you reach x% so you can use the conventional glues etc. to repair it to a 100%

and if you repair to a 100% all the other parts that werent 100% now are

[strange vapor]

Okay so I need a toolkit, field repair kit, and replacement fabrics? Anything else I need to get to repair it?

[carmine wyvern]

glues or duct tape repair kit for the remaining %

get your mask repaired to atleast 70 % and use glues to repair the remaining condition HP

dont use the Medium Repairkit to repair your mask, as its a waste

[strange vapor]

I've never found a toolkit yet, nor seen a trader selling them, so I guess the hunt continues. A bit annoying having ~15 kg of armor with me that I can't repair or use or sell yet without the toolkit.

[carmine wyvern]

Toolkits are found in the Stashes you get on your PDA

[versed tusk]

you cannot sell/buy armor or weapons

stash the stuff you want for later

spam missions, loot NPCs - get stash info and loot them

the further north you go, the better the toolkit level chance. so you wont find advanced/expert in Cordon

[strange vapor]

For now I'm just going to dismantle everything I can't use and sell the parts. When I get a toolkit then I'll worry about repairing weapons and armor.

[versed tusk]

keep parts above 60%

[strange vapor]

Makarov and leather jacket ftw

[versed tusk]

otherwise you wont have anything to repair with

and welcome to the hobo phase

[strange vapor]

Strange the mechanics / technicians in the world are unable to repair stuff for you at higher prices. I have more money than God, and yet I'm still in the hobo phase because I can't use any of the loot I find.

[versed tusk]

dont ignore toolkits

problem solved

[strange vapor]

First I gotta actually find one

I've looted a few stashes in Cordon, Garbage, and Meadow, and haven't found one yet.

[stuck sun]

If you're rich. Pay Sid or some other info broker for stash locations. Bound to be some tools in one of those stashes

[versed tusk]

inb4 50k Rubles

[stuck sun]

Whole map is white dots

[strange vapor]

I didn't even know you could buy stash locations, I don't remember seeing that option at Sid's place. Thanks I'll look into that!

[versed tusk]

it's honestly a waste of money. if you do enough missions and loot every dead NPC + read thr PDAs they often carry you will swim in stash locations

[stuck sun]

If you don't see the option, you might have run that dialogue once before and now it will forever just say "Here [6500ru]

[versed tusk]

but should you rly have "more money than god" which I highly doubt then by all means do it

[strange vapor]

oh lmao I had no idea what the "Here" option was in his dialogue tree so I never clicked it.

Alright cool, well the hunt begins for a toolkit so I can get some proper gear. Thanks folks

I was under the impression the technicians would be able to repair stuff for you at a high markup, but alas

[versed tusk]

#│📚manual is a good start if you have no idea what GAMMA is about

[sullen basalt]

Hello, I'm going nuts currently... After finding kovalevs laptop I need to find 3 samples. I have easily found two of them, but the sample at Bedrock Claws simply doesn't appear. I think the sample should just be visible in the middle of the "claw formation" but nothing is there. I already reloaded an older save, left Agroprom and came back, slept until night etc

[brisk zinc]

Use debug mode

[sullen basalt]

you mean to cheat the sample in my inventory?

[brisk zinc]

Yes

[sullen basalt]

Can you give me a clou which command I should use?

I guess this item has a specific id

[brisk zinc]

Save the game
Spam every artefact until you hear the "quest complete" sound
Reload
Spawn only the artefact you need
Complete the quest
Kill Kovalev because the quest is fucking stupid and the reward is even more stupid

[stuck sun]

What? You don't like your Converts Roubles to USD
$85.60?

[brisk zinc]

I don't like the letter at the end of the whole questline, you know

Unfortunately artefacts aren't really where you have to found them because... they're artefacts

And as such, they move

Or they just don't spawn

The fucking quest marker is like "static" and it doesn't actually follow the artefact you need

It just tell you "hey, it's there, go check it out", so it's basically a 50/50 chance

[stuck sun]

Really didn't like the part where the science man told me to go to pripyat and outskits to get his pain sand

"Don't worry. The reward will be more than enough to cover the cost of your ammo."

Fat fucking liar

[smoky dome]

the like 3k Ru Sidorovich pays u to gun down an entire military checkpoint

and then he says "here's a little cash to pay for your ammo"

[sullen basalt]

It worked that way, thank you very much!

[worn merlin]

Does any of the Nosrog suits have 5 belt slots when fully upgraded?

[stuck sun]

No. You can edit this without problem in the nosorog ltx file

[smoky dome]

can you put exo-skeletons over any armor or are they their own full armor?

[worn merlin]

I did try looking for files with Nosorog in a VS code search already, but didn't find anything. Would you happen to know that path?

[worn merlin]

They're their own full armour

[smoky dome]

ah

I just got a monolith exo

right after I fully upgraded my cs4a-Pathfinder

dun know if its worth even usin exo or just wait till a nosorog shows up

[worn merlin]

It's probably worth using, it offers a lot of protection in firefights and a lot of belt slots, the only drawback is the anomaly protection isn't great

You can fix that with an artefact though

[stuck sun]

Anomaly > Tools

use the db_unpacker

Inside the newly made folder "_unpacked" folder

_unpacked > configs > items

Take the whole outfits folder and copy it into:

Anomaly > gamadata > configs > items (You might have to make this file yourself)

Inside the now placed items > outfits folder will be an ltx file called o_nosorog

[smoky dome]

how much does it cost to fully mod tho

I can repair it I have an exo repair kit

also my pathfinder suit atm has 5 belt slots

with all of them having kevlar

[worn merlin]

Thank you! I spent ages looking for an unpacker tool and tried one from dead air. I had no idea there was one included

[worn merlin]

I craft a lot of my mods, so I'm not really sure

[smoky dome]

u know if there are any better helms than the exo-helm btw?

I have an apocalypse helm but it doesn't give much rad protection so I didn't bother

[worn merlin]

Only better helm I've found is the apocalypse helm it has better ballistics, but worse rad protection. Which you kind of need

Ah same lol

[smoky dome]

yeaa

seems like exo-helm has the best balance

[stuck sun]

Spartan Helmet

[smoky dome]

they heavy nerfed the apocalypse helm in gamma

it was the best helm in vanilla anomaly

[smoky dome]

that was the apocalypse helm in vanilla anomaly

the apocalypse helmet in gamma is the Altyn helmet

[warm remnant]

So leveling up mechanics is just giving them toolkits, but how about traders? Is that just doing jobs?

[smoky dome]

better goodwill

so yea

just do more quests for the faction

[warm remnant]

ok 👍

[smoky dome]

1000 goodwill they will start selling small amounts of rifle grade ammo

1500 larger and 2000 they will sell a shitton of ammo

[warm remnant]

I always just keep it on text, i just tried to change to values and jeez, i feel like i've done a ton of quests for a lot of the factions but apparently not

[worn merlin]

It worked! Thanks man 😄

[stuck sun]

Because I did it too

[smoky dome]

the veles detector is automatically on right?

or do u have to turn it on

[north turret]

It's on when you equip it, no need to turn it on

[smoky dome]

hm, I guess just no artifacts then

sad

[pulsar hull]

There are any plans to implement Cold System or similar in the future?

[clear vale]

Does anyone know where this stash is? According to altitude markers it should be right where I am, but I can't find it https://i.imgur.com/UgbNZc4.jpeg

Hmm

[austere mortar]

are there any crows above xd

[clear vale]

Yes there are some crows flying about here

[austere mortar]

kill some and u'll find it inside one most likely

[clear vale]

[obtuse berry]

Im trying to cook some food and it says i dont have liquid fuel when i do

do i need a higher tier cooking tool? im just using the basic one

[clear vale]

Yea you do

[obtuse berry]

true

[clear vale]

with either kerosene, gasoline, or the gas container

[obtuse berry]

didnt even know there were different ones

cheers

[clear vale]

They're quite heavy tho so keep those in ur box :-)

Also makes for an amazing repair aid when using the multitool, +15% repair with one of those i think (might consume the actual container tho? Not sure about the last part)

[weary hearth]

So I've been playing on RC1 for the longest time and only recently did the upgrade to RC3, was the weapon/armor maintenance and repair tutorial written in the context of RC3?

[twin peak]

Hey guys. I need your help. I have sometimes a exclamation mark on the right bottom corner - i think it coms when something gets wrong in the matrix because i think i had realized that some bugs are there even when the exclamation mark blinking up. Can you tell me what it is or what to do to fix this? Thx a lot Stalkers.

[austere mortar]

something breaks

[gaunt vault]

How hard is it to edit the price of an ammo type? This stuff seems super expensive having 3,100 base cost for about 14 bullets that seem intended for pistols and smgs

[austere mortar]

hey lets solve it for everyone ;]

do u still have this save file with active stash?
could u load it with this script, then quit and send log to me?

[clear vale]

Uhh let's see

Where should I put this?

I've never ran a script in stalker before

[austere mortar]

create addon with gamedata/scripts/
folders and put it there

[clear vale]

Gotcha

Did this work?

[versed tusk]

The basic works on any fireplace thats lit. Higher tier mutants need the multistove + fuel.
Buy it at butcher for the cheapest.
Also get the cheap vodka and cook the purified version for extra buffs

[austere mortar]

nope ;[

[clear vale]

Shid, not sure what I did wrong

i put it here, and activated the mod
C:\GAMMA\mods\Stash Finder\gamedata\scripts

[austere mortar]

and u put file into scripts folder?

[clear vale]

Ye it's in \scripts

[austere mortar]

is it enabled ;p

try to create it here

[clear vale]

Yea I activated it

It is in there

[austere mortar]

hm

ah wait script is loading

[clear vale]

Oh I need to let it run for a bit?

[austere mortar]

no, need to only load game

something is different in gamma i suppose 🤔

[clear vale]

I enabled it, launched, loaded, quit, and sent logs after

[austere mortar]

could u give me treasure_manager.script from gamma?

[clear vale]

one sec

I think it's this one, because it has the most bottom mo2 priority

[austere mortar]

well i cant explain why it doesnt type anything into console ;[
maybe coz something breaks before, cant find anything else

[clear vale]

I think I have a very... basic solution lol
Is it possible to enable noclip or freecam in some way?

I wonder if it's under something or etc

[austere mortar]

num 0

[clear vale]

Gotcha, I'll try it!

[austere mortar]

its unlikely under something, this script can pick random items as stash containers apparently, not only crows

[clear vale]

I hope it's not me being an idiot, let me just double-check

Oh, it is me being an idiot, well nevermind

Better late than never, I guess...

[austere mortar]

what was it

[clear vale]

Not enough coffee irl, I mistook something

So not a script issue, just me being silly whoops

[twin peak]

is it on me? Did it come from change settings from the mods? Is there a way to reset the GAMMA Mod list to default?

[austere mortar]

oh ;p wait no found the message xd

[twin peak]

ah ok im sry. thought it was to me. My bad dude.

[austere mortar]

yes i just forgot about ur screenshot in 5 mins, it was to u

[austere mortar]

usually its in console what exactly breaks

[twin peak]

Ok i will do this. thx

mosttime a quicksave relaod helps out but it comes again after a few minutes.

[austere mortar]

ping me with log when ur done, i need to go for a bit

[clear vale]

Oh, no there was no issue in the game, I just made a mistake and didn't realize that it was the 2nd stage of the quest

Because the npc didn't move for so long but when I loaded in he walked around and I noticed it

Yes I am very good at this... I swear

[buoyant stump]

can i change my companions weapon and armor??

[brisk zinc]

...what?

[solid valve]

nevermind I was being an eedyat, I was essentially treating the mod as if it was mod files as opposed to a mod installer that works via mod organizer

[brisk zinc]

...what?

English isn't my first language

Help me out here

I want to understand your problem (or concern, curiosity)

You want to know how GAMMA works?

GAMMA have a portable instance

Don't install MO2 with a global instance, it can create problems

If you've used Anomaly with some mods or stuff like that, you'll need to delete the folder and extract it again

[solid valve]

Like I had it in my head that GAMMA was somehow like anomaly in that you need to manually install and update, not an installer that takes any new changes as soon as you select the update button, there's nothing to understand really, I was just being a moron haha

[brisk zinc]

Aaah okay

To answer your question anyway, no, Anomaly and GAMMA are separate

GAMMA doesn't touch Anomaly, it's all outside of it

The installer grabs mods from Moddb and install everything inside the GAMMA folder, which contains MO2 as well

[solid valve]

Ahhh thanks man, not even played the game yet and I'm already being a massive noob

[brisk zinc]

Don't worry, like I said you only need to make sure that the Anomaly folder is clean

Don't install MO2 on your computer since GAMMA provide a portable install of it

And don't keep Anomaly and GAMMA inside one folder, basically also for that reason, because everything is done outside Anomaly

[solid valve]

Ahhh very nice, so I'll always have a vanilla version of anomaly, that's very handy

[brisk zinc]

Yes, exactly

Oh right

@solid valve just to be sure I'm also pinging you

DON'T use Anomaly 1.5.2

[solid valve]

Yeah already read that somewhere luckily

thanks for the heads up tho 🙏

[warm remnant]

So i have an advanced crafting kit now, do i still need the basic crafting kit to craft basic stuff, or can the advanced do that too?

[brisk zinc]

You need the toolkit (basic/advanced/expert) and the repair kit (whatever the gun or the armour need)

Yes you need both of them

[shadow sapphire]

It seems odd, but if you think about tool kits, there are going to be different tools in each one, so stuff thats in basic is probably not in the advanced for instance.

[next rune]

I have a problem. Whenever I turn on ssao, and load the game, the screen just goes black. The hud is still visible, the game is running but nothing is visible on the screen. Pls help me with a fix.

[shadow sapphire]

Maybe try the stuff here:

!black

!screen

[raw raft]

We can't really see the problem if you take a picture with your cellphone. If you have a problem you want to share with us, you can do the following, since we don't care about your second monitor or your desktop image:

1. Press F12 in-game, look in Anomaly\appdata\screenshots. If it's not there, look in your GAMMA RC3 folder, inside a folder called overwrite
2. Press PRTSC (Print Screen on your keyboard) open Paint, CTLR + V to paste the pic, save it, send it
3. Windows key + Shift + S, which let you choose what part of the screen you want to copy, it will directly copy the pic for you (Snipping Tool™️ is subject to Windows own settings, not game settings, meaning gamma, brightness, and colour balance will be different.)

[brisk zinc]

Put those two together and you have the command

[shadow sapphire]

@brisk zinc I appreciate you so much, BUT I HATE the command convention lol, it makes sense, just not the way I would do them lol 😛

!blackscreen

[raw raft]

Follow this: #╭📖faq message

[brisk zinc]

Read #╭📖faq and you have all of them

[brisk zinc]

Btw yes it works that way, if a gun/armor require "basic toolkit", you can't use the "advanced toolkit", it doesn't work that way

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah I typically double check, just sometimes, Im like oh its probably blackscreen then my brain goes, wait falco likes to make them as short as possible lol

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah, the basic kit has like wrenches and screw drivers, where as the advanced might have calipers and clamps for instance. It doesnt make sense to a gamer most of the time because we go shouldnt the advanced have the basic. But for realism it makes total sense, because if I buy like a basic tool kit it will have basic stuff, but advanced tools might not include a screw driver for instance

[brisk zinc]

It's literally what I thought as well, "isn't the advanced like an evolution of the basic?", so yeah we can put it in a "realism" perspective, but for me it's more of a "technical" thing, like "it's a bitch to code"

[shadow sapphire]

LOL yeah

especially when xray wants to xray

tbh by the time you have all 5 kits (which you dont really need to carry the drug making at all times) 2.5kg should be nothing to your carry capactiy

[brisk zinc]

Yeah they're light enough to keep them with you at all times

[shadow sapphire]

PS to fix my minimap I have resorted to a full reinstall (forgot to backup my save, but meh, the beginning is fun to me I like hunting for anything new) I tried a whole bunch of fixes before hand, and the log was less than helpful

[brisk zinc]

There's literally no need to delete everything

[shadow sapphire]

I am normally 100% with you. However I had tried defaulting it, I had tried the .exe replace, as well as manually checking through the mods. I asked if there was another fix last night, but no one got back to me (understandable, we all have lives and jobs) so after exhausting everything I could think of I just went with the nuclear option

[brisk zinc]

The minimap missing is you pressing some button

\ is the default one

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah the button stopped working, checked keybinds and all that, even tried changing the keybind, all that would happen is I would get a green "=" at the bottom of my screen

Even loading old saves or new games.

Even tried switching to the compass

[brisk zinc]

That's the disguise thing

[shadow sapphire]

That I wasnt sure what it was lol, but yeah man it was working fine, I often toggle it on or off as I really only use it alot when looking for stashes or bodies or get lost at night lol. But it just wouldnt work, after trying keybind solves, went to okay lets do the default and see if that fixes, nope. Then I thought you know we were trying the core 0 thing yesterday which wouldnt work, maybe it borked the .exe so I did the nvg crash fix and replaced the .exes still didnt work.

I probably could have reasked about it, but I dont like bothering people in here for stuff more than once unless its literally stopping gameplay, which this wasnt. But with the weird issues I have had I half wonder if something bugged during my original install (not necessarily installer related, probably moddb) and eventually xray finally started to go enough is enough lol

[worn merlin]

TIL that if you go into the Jupiter tunnel, any followers apart you have apart from Hip just drop down dead. Is this expected?

[warm remnant]

So i have to know, does stash location mean anything? Like the further north ones get better gear, or does location not matter?

[dense cargo]

Anyone using Grulag's halved stalker pop in hubs? its in gamma disabled list. does it help with perf

[warm remnant]

How did you get hip as follower?

[worn merlin]

I did her quest to get a toz-194 and afterwards brought her the can of tuna she requested

[warm remnant]

Huh, i dont have any quest from her just a "goodbye" option

[worn merlin]

She follows you for an artefact hunt, and there's another quest available for her after you complete that one

Maybe you already have the quest?

[buoyant trout]

If I find a stash in the wild, it has nothing in it. Any options or optional mods that will enable stashes to be prefilled?

[warm remnant]

This is intentional, stashes are filled when you get coordinates to them, it's for balancing purposes

[river forge]

Is burnt fuzz disabled completely? I noticed that there's both a GAMMA fuzz fix as well as a Disable Burnt Fuzz mod included in the pack

Has it just been nerfed damage wise or does it actually do nothing due to the latter mod?

[sleek delta]

I'm about ready to update my gamma anomaly to its latest version, but am I supposed to delete the Gamma mods folder beforehand or not?

[rare sluice]

NO DO NOT

[wintry oar]

couple questions
-do I understand it correctly that I can't fix a gun's barrel without having spare and changing them on the vice first?
-do I understand it correctly that there's no way to make weapon part's maintenance techniician's problem, and not yours?

[rare sluice]

1. Correct. A note that you can repair barrels in your inventory and you don't need to use a technician's vice.
2. Correct

[wintry oar]

thank you, couple more questions.
how do I activate console in gamma? the F7 anomaly cheat menu
is it possible to nuke the entire weapon parts system from modlist without breaking Gamma?

[rare sluice]

• Console is ~. Cheat menu is F7
• Not really. A lot of mods depend on it. Also part of the core progression of the game

[wintry oar]

ty for the help!

now i can enjoy other aspects the mod provides aside from breaking my head at "where am I supposed to get all these parts from" 🙂

[rare sluice]

Disassemble every gun you find

Also if you have the right repair kit you can right click on the gun and replace a specific part to 100% by using a charge

[proper ibex]

hi there I got a few questions regarding gamma before I install it
1 can I disable/inable addons I don't want in it
2 is there a list of addons that are in the mod pack
3 what's the file size

[warped ginkgo]

#❗welcome

[brisk zinc]

1. Yes but it depends, ask first in here
2. #❗welcome
3. #❗welcome (GAMMA is around 40 GB, Anomaly is 16 GB more or less, you need to have more than 50 GB free)

[stark shard]

@brisk zinc I accidentally deleted the gamma reshade, could you tell me which shaders are there?

[brisk zinc]

This folder?

[stark shard]

no the Gamma reshade.ini

[stark shard]

thank you 🙂

[wintry oar]

That';s the thing. I don't necessarily want to play a looter/marauder/npc killer.
wanted to go with a hunter for now.

[brisk zinc]

Don't play Stalker then

[wintry oar]

ty for telling me which game to play or not t o play.

I'll be sure to take that into consideration.

[brisk zinc]

Come on I'm joking, don't be so edgy, you're asking for something that is impossible

[wintry oar]

oh? entirely possible.

[brisk zinc]

Be a hunter in Stalker?

[wintry oar]

just neds a bit of tweaking.
I did play Anomaly that way

[brisk zinc]

Only a hunter?

[rare sluice]

Gamma isnt designed for only hunting

[wintry oar]

artifacts/mutant pieces.
yep, it is possible to do. well, nto here maybe, but hence the questions above. I already know economy can be disabled.

[brisk zinc]

So basically you want to play the game by just doing that?

[rare sluice]

Ah well then you can do only hunting then

[wintry oar]

I'm aware, I'm definitely don't mean anything along the lines of this mod would be better if my opinion X would be taken into account

[brisk zinc]

Yeah yeah don't worry

I was just curious about this "choice"

I'm not saying "don't do it"

[stoic moth]

You'll have to do some killing to progress enough to get to the point where you can just hunt artefacts and mutants

You could consider yourself a hunter of bad stalkers until then

[brisk zinc]

You have to at least disable Brain Scorcher or Miracle Machine, I always confuse the two

[wintry oar]

You can hunt mutants from get go, actually.
Get a hunting knife in garbage from butcher and a shotgun of sorts.

that's how I did my scientist playthrough back in th day

[stoic moth]

Well yeah thats a basic anomaly start

[brisk zinc]

You're not wrong on this as well

[stoic moth]

Anyway, does anyone know if the silencer buff affects guns with integrated silencers as well?

[brisk zinc]

@wintry oar since now I understand your pov, the "problem" is that, in GAMMA, in order to progress, you need to do quests because you need toolkits in order to repair guns and armours
It's like a loop, you can do that, but you can't do it from the start, or at least not right away

[wintry oar]

before I go into F7 - what's the surest ways to get those kits that let you reassemble barrels on the vices?

[brisk zinc]

"in order to progress, you need to do quests because you need toolkits in order to repair guns and armours"

You can find toolkits inside stashes

[wintry oar]

But there's plenty fetch quests, mutant hunting, etc? I think those count?

[brisk zinc]

Yes of course

Wolf for example, or Fanatic
Or Butcher in Garbage

[wintry oar]

yep, same as in anomaly then

[brisk zinc]

Yeah that stuff is literally the same

The progression is different, because you can't buy guns or armours

(if you disable the economy, of course, you can)

[stoic moth]

Get yourself a claw and a knife

[brisk zinc]

Problem is

You can find stashes if you have the coordinates for them

And you can have these coordinates from rewards or from dead stalkers PDAs

And rewards/stalkers PDAs = quests

Basic and Advanced are basically the early/mid game, Expert are late game

Expert only spawn in Red Forest and north from there

[brisk zinc]

But in order to go north^

(or maybe you just need the psy helmet, it's probably just the psy helmet)

[wintry oar]

but how does that prevent character from not going for npc kills?
like, Ecologists do get through somehow, after all, right?

[brisk zinc]

I don't know how ecologists works, I know they are basically friendly with everyone (apart Monolith) so you probably can go with them

[tribal pike]

does the gamma rc 3 have the driveable vehicles mod?

[brisk zinc]

Yes

[tribal pike]

nice

[brisk zinc]

They spawn by default in Darkscape

[tribal pike]

ok

[brisk zinc]

(Or Dark Valley, I confuse the names)

You know that very long place with nothing in it

Perfect for cars

That place

[tribal pike]

do u know in what cattegory the mod is in MO2?

[brisk zinc]

The one on the right in the map

[tribal pike]

thats darkscape

[brisk zinc]

Okay, perfect, you can find vehicles there

[tribal pike]

dark valley has lab x8

[brisk zinc]

Don't try to bring them out of there

The game will crash

You can of course spawn them with debug

This is the mod

[tribal pike]

but traveling to different maps in cars crashes the game?

[brisk zinc]

Yes

[brisk zinc]

I mean I just said that^

Travelling to different maps is a problem but you can spawn them whenever you want

[tribal pike]

ok

[warped ginkgo]

this is frm vanilla anomaly

[tribal pike]

ok

[rare sluice]

It shouldnt

[brisk zinc]

Ah that's new then

I was stuck at the "it crashes"

[rare sluice]

I haven't seen it crash before, you just get softlocked

That also should have been fixed

By me no less

[warm remnant]

So are stashes in the north more valuable? Like do they contain better stuff, or does location not matter?

[brisk zinc]

Content wise, I don't know if they're better the more you go north

But in Red Forest and above from there, you can find the expert toolkit

[tribal pike]

did u get stuck in the cars roof when u got to the other side of the space restrictor?

[rare sluice]

Does it do that now?

[tribal pike]

for me it does

what happened when u tried to travel into another map?

[rare sluice]

@willow hawk Did you add my car level change mod?

[frank robin]

Hey, sorry to bug you. But I'm looking at these shader fx and I can't seem to find them in my menu for some reason. I'm missing artisticvignette, filmicpass, and mc_ssao.

[unreal thistle]

So I have a question concerning story quests. Right now the only of my quests is to get documents from CNPP. I gave the dude the documents from Brain Scorcher, saved the Clear Sky squad (got full empty for that). I think I botched one ecologist quest (I had to talk with a guy in dark valley and one time I just got adnotation that I failed that quest). Am I doing good or am I missing something?

[willow hawk]

Not yet

Next week

I will push one large update

[rare sluice]

Oki

[magic rivet]

yo, kinda new to anomaly shenanigans, do I need to install any graphics overhaul/2k textures mods and reshade or anything of that sort, or GAMMA already has those mods installed?

[brisk zinc]

GAMMA already have Reshade

[magic rivet]

Cheers, so reshade is not needed, what about graphics and textures or reshade is enough?

really clueless since I've never really modded stuff

[warped ginkgo]

vanilla anomaly already uses 2k textures as default

[warped ginkgo]

Dead zone ( no longer available in moddb at least, no idea where you can get it now), GTR are the only ones i know that have more 'quality' than vanilla

golden autumn redux has some dead zone textures iirc

[magic rivet]

Thanks a lot lads

[graceful rover]

can you turn of pulses, and could you survive one in theory with enough... psy?? protection?

[magic rivet]

There is no mags system right?

[frank robin]

You have to enable it in the MM

[magic rivet]

Or if there is it can be disabled with MO2?

Oh aite

[warm remnant]

Ah ok thanks, that's actually what i was looking for

[lyric steeple]

so, I have seen the unload all guns key around. im curious what the point of that is?

does it unload everything but what you have equipped?

is unload everything needed that often that a button was setup for it?

very confused.

[graceful iron]

in vanilla anomaly, guns dropped from enemies spawn with ammo in them and it can get annoying to right click > unload each one. it was more of a QoL

it unloads all guns that are not equipped in a slot, but they still have to be in your inventory

[lyric steeple]

nice ok

thats alot more useful then

[dense cargo]

my audio seems glitched, keep hearing ambient voices and its loud. bout to lose my psy health irl, is there a console cmd to clear?

snd_restart did not work.. its like maybe the sound you hear when a burer is nearby or something psychic. but it wont go away. I tried reloading saves. Im just in the open in agroprom

[graceful iron]

restart the game

[dense cargo]

I did that as well, but will try again i suppose.

[graceful iron]

in which area are you ?

[dense cargo]

agroprom above ground. it started near the bus station and hasnt went away since

[graceful iron]

did you look for a source, or leave the place?

[dense cargo]

restarting a second time fixed it

psydogs n their 15 clones o.o

bork the game

[wanton barn]

So… I’m working with Pirogov in the Researcher’s quest line and in Dark Valley I need to find an artifact in the bubble bath Anomaly. The quest marker leads to the top of 3 silo’s and I’ve found some artifacts there but none of them pertain to the quest. Wondering if I’m an idiot or it’s bugged

The bug zapper anomaly in the same area of the bandit bases also had a quest marker by the entrance of the long fire tunnel but the artifact for the quest was at the end nowhere near the quest marker and I’ve found myself stumped as to if this is the same case where the quest marker is simply inaccurate

[dense cargo]

i lost my companion to the MG for this

[brisk zinc]

!treestash

[raw raft]

Stash in Agroprom that seems unreachable: #╓☢stalker-chat message

[dense cargo]

damn there's a ! for everything these days

[wanton barn]

Oh damn

[brisk zinc]

Save the game
Use debug and spam every artefact until you hear the "quest complete" sound
Reload
Spawn only the artefact you need
Complete the quest
Kill Kovalev because the quest is fucking stupid and the reward is even more stupid

[brisk zinc]

Check #╭📖faq for the complete list

[wanton barn]

Big big thanks, I’ll give it a try 🙏🏻

[brisk zinc]

Unfortunately artefacts aren't really where you have to found them because... they're artefacts
And as such, they move or they just don't spawn
The fucking quest marker is like "static" and it doesn't actually follow the artefact you need
It just tell you "hey, it's there, go check it out", so it's basically a 50/50 chance

[wanton barn]

Damn, I’ve gone through about 3 blowouts and got 4 artifacts from the bubble bath anomaly but none of them were the quest attifact

Maybe I just have dogshit luck lol

[north turret]

How would I kill someone in a friendly base and loot a nosorog without killing its traders?

[wanton barn]

Well… I presume a SVD with an armor piercing round suppressed to the back of the head would suffice

I would recommend a knife/melee weapon but I’m not sure if those are truly silent

[lyric steeple]

^^ both very viable options

[thick chasm]

Hey, I have a question about overall game progression. So, I'm on a new run (and one of my first runs I'm sticking with), having started as a Loner in the Cordon with an SKS and a leather jacket. Within only a few hours of gameplay, I've gotten several great mid-game guns and armors, albeit in disrepair. Still, I feel like I've progressed way too quickly without meaning to. These were from stashes in the Army Warehouses, since I kept getting quests and stashes there so I decided to make an excursion there. Didn't expect it to be this lucrative, though. Is the goods being damaged the main limiter here, or did I just skip the early game a good deal?

[wanton barn]

Be aware that proximity to other stalkers ‘can’ piss them off but if you wait till the Nosorog boi is relatively alone it shouldn’t be too bad. Just make sure you hit them dead on in the head

[lyric steeple]

you went to the army warehouses with a leather jacket? that just sounds like suicide, so im guessing you earned it.

[thick chasm]

lol maybe, I just dipped in, grabbed the stashes, crashed at the Freedom base and left

[lyric steeple]

also, disrepair seems like an understatement. they are unlikely to be seriously useable until you repair them.

they will jam ever other shot

[thick chasm]

Gotcha, so though I have the base for a great gun, repairing them to be actually usable is another story?

I'm newer to the modpack, to be clear

[lyric steeple]

yeah

[thick chasm]

They're all at sub 40% quality, at most

[lyric steeple]

good luck finding the right tools to repair them and such

yeah and the bits inside are likely dmged a bit too

sounds like your next quest is getting the gear needed to repair them.

then you have to find ammo to use them

[thick chasm]

I'm glad to hear that honestly, I was enjoying the SKS. In regular Anomaly I would rarely stick to the more basic guns since they would be so easily outmoded, almost immediately.

[lyric steeple]

i have a mosen, and a grosa i jsut founds.

nearly useless until i find a way to repair them

i can get a scope for the mosen for pretty cheap. so just waiting to find a history repair kit.

[wanton barn]

I’d definitely recommend bringing the heat to a stash you create. I’d recommend making a stash out of a spare backpack in the northern farm in cordon so you have someone in the loners to buy parts/repair supplies from. You’ll need tools to actually repair the gear you found as well, and you need advanced/expert tool kits in order to craft most weapon repair kits yourself… or you can pay out the ass in cash to buy the weapon kits required to replace some of the parts on your weapons. Keep in mind ‘some’ parts can be field stripped/replaced by hand without need of a tool kit at all, but doing so will bring dirt and dust into the weapon. Make sure the weapon itself is in decent condition before swapping out parts and be ready to touch them up after swapping out parts. The same goes for armor as well, textiles, Kevlar plates, and more can be used to repair armor, so long as you have the necessary armor kits to replace said parts

[lyric steeple]

one of the gun traders in cordon, can clean the weapon for some $$, but they wont fix the inside bits.

[wanton barn]

I would recommend doing quests up north a ways once you’ve got support to try and get quests done there, then find some stashes up north. The farther north, the more likely you’ll find advanced/expert tools which will be necessary to maintain your gear since no one actively sells tool kits if I recall

[lyric steeple]

personally, having to upgrade my own weapons is one of the coolest parts of this mod.

@wanton barn is it worth giveing toolkits to traders for quests?

doesnt that upgrade their stash?

[wanton barn]

[You can get lucky with the mercenaries in the Patch Raffle and get a basic or advanced tool kit if you save scum a little or have a bunch of patches]

Giving tool kits to traders is actually a good idea… ‘later’ on that is

[lyric steeple]

makes sense

[thick chasm]

Thanks for the advice. I have a stash there already, luckily, though hauling tens of kilograms of loot back is another story. Luckily I have an escort squad that can bear some of the load.

I found advanced and basic tools in the Warehouse stashes I mentioned. Should I give those to mechanics or save those for myself? Also, in general, what parts should I save from loot? Most of the guns I find are junked out, so I've been selling anything under about 60% durability, after disassembling.

[lyric steeple]

you dont use the basic/advanced/expert kits do you?

like, they dont have charges**

[wanton barn]

You can actively use the tool kits in the field as well which prevents the need for a workbench but I’d personally advise having a couple spare tool kits to give to faction engineers so you can get some cash and influence

[lyric steeple]

after you have built up a bit of a stash, i generally go through get rid of all but 2-3 of the best items.

[wanton barn]

The tool kits [basic, Advanced, Expert tools] themselves are infinitely usable, specialized weapon and armor kits however do have limited uses if you use them to simply increase the raw condition of gear. Replacing parts is significantly better use of such kits

[thick chasm]

Cool, I'll hold onto them for now then. I'll find more for mechanics, I'm sure.

[wanton barn]

Handgun repair kits for example can only be used to clean handguns of very low condition or replace the parts in them, but as for basic tool kits and the like, you’ll find a fair few in the field. I would HIGHLY recommend keeping ahold of a gunsmithing kit if you find one as well

Gamma changes ammo crafting quite a bit and makes it actually useful and more efficient to pluck every bit of ammo you find to break it down for parts to use in ammo you actively need

[lyric steeple]

you can also craft a workbench if you like

oo! i havnt done the ammo crafting yet.

gunsmithing kit huh.

is the drug making kit worth it?

[thick chasm]

My main difficulty thus far has been wrapping my head around the looting and repairing, since I never messed with the latter before and my concept of what's valuable is completely thrown off in terms of the former.

[lyric steeple]

in the beginning anything that works is valuable

at least until you can get a weapon repaired up.

starting with an sks, it pretty slick. grab yourself a scope and snipe folks = profit

[wanton barn]

Mhmm, the gunsmithing kits are fairly common too as with Basic kits. I’ve found quite a few in Garbage. The maintenance aspect of the game can be a bit daunting at first but once you get used to stockpiling repair supplies it’s not ‘too’ difficult

[lyric steeple]

make sure to find something for the mutants that run up on you

[wanton barn]

Shotguns are a great investment to take out mutants and bandits who often wear completely shit armor.

[lyric steeple]

i found a full auto pistol (the one with the tube mags)

it looks like it has a laser on the model.

is that something i can take off? or is that just part of the model?

[wanton barn]

Damn not forget to utilize your surroundings when dealing with mutants as well. Surviving a chimera for s a lot easier when playing ‘Ring-Around-the-Rosey’ with a tree and a 12-gauge shotgun

[lyric steeple]

its ok to run like a coward... because they will 1-2 shot you

[wanton barn]

Some weapons have functional laser sights, you can’t always remove them as they’re often part of kits that permanently attach to weapons

[lyric steeple]

ok

[wanton barn]

Holding the L key rather than tapping it will activate laser sights for most weapons that have them as well. Some weapons even allow you to use the laser solely rather than your scope by pressing V to change your aiming mode

[lyric steeple]

hey, if i can get ride of the crosshair ... because i feel a little cheap with it.. but holy crap aiming is hard with out a site.

sight** (go figure)

[thick chasm]

It's mostly Bandit junk anyway so I don't care to repair most of it, but I'm mainly trying to figure out what to loot from said guns since a lot of it is junked out anyways but I don't want to hoard bullshit. I'm just going to need to adjust, but like Hellig said, it's daunting.

[wanton barn]

Other weapons can even have canted sights that can be used the same way such as the SVDS PMC, a late game weapon but one that works amazingly well for long and even close engagements seeing as the scope can be tilted aside in place of a red dot sight on the side

[lyric steeple]

in gamma most everything can be used to craft things.

at this point, I sell mutant parts.

im still in the beginning stage.

[wanton barn]

Indeed, scrapping broken detectors, radio’s, walky talkies and other electronics including actual sensors like the echo and Bear and even PDA’s will bet you parts that can be used to make upgraded versions of said equipment

[lyric steeple]

you can take the batteries out of PDAs and sell them to some traders (in the chat section)

[wanton barn]

Bear in mind most upgraded gear requires increasingly more complex tool kits. You’ll need the advanced and expert tools to make most of the best gear including backpacks

[lyric steeple]

you can talk to sidrovich in cordon and trade him PDAs for cash.

or break them down for parts.

a backpack is something i def need to get upgraded.

and an armor with some slots

[wanton barn]

Do any of you know how to use Debug mode on Gamma btw?

[lyric steeple]

nope

havnt looked into that

heard it can be needed from time to time

[lyric steeple]

#╭📖faq message

[wanton barn]

Nice nice, much help thanks!

I hope I was able to offer some useful tips on gear maintenance and acquisitions btw, it’s unlikely you’ll find anyone in the game that outright sells guns, usually just parts. Most weapons you’ll end up getting will be found on dead fellow stalkers

[lyric steeple]

gamma specifically, you cant buy/sell guns/armor

[warm remnant]

So anyone know where the keybind for switch between zoom levels in scopes are? I looked around a bit and couldn't find it

[versed tusk]

scroll wheel

[warm remnant]

Oh shit thats easy

Yeah didn't think of that thamk 👍

[dense cargo]

anyone have issues being able to stream the application on discord? i added it to the games list before and it worked, but now it doesn't show up as an application

[tidal raft]

You must run the game in Borderless mode.

[dense cargo]

it works in fullscreen. I had to remove it from the list and re-add it o.o

[tidal raft]

For some users, Discord requires the game to be run in Borderless mode—otherwise the direct stream will be all black.

[wanton barn]

If you go in the settings to make it windowed mode, you can actually begin streaming and then switch back to Full screen while the stream is active

I’ve managed to cheat the system that way consistently

[pseudo fog]

SOS, I just tried fast travelling to Cordon from Army Warehouses, and when I loaded in, the game just auto completed every task I had, including main quests. I tried reloading to a previous save, and as soon as I loaded in, it did the same thing. I'm hoping someone knows how to stop this, and that my save isn't bricked

[north turret]

How do you turn on a lazer sight?

[pseudo fog]

By default you hold down L, or whatever button you use for your headlamp, for an uncomfortably long time

[north turret]

Oh ok sick thanks man

[buoyant stump]

best knife for skinning mutants?

is it the spetsnaz switchblade by any chance?

[pseudo fog]

that one is good yea. I think there's one or two tiers above it though

[buoyant stump]

alright cool

[tired violet]

Woah, that's an odd one...

[tired violet]

@graceful iron Sorry for the ping...

[analog forum]

Hey team,

I'm trying to wrap my head around the gun/suit crafting system here. So ... I bought the multitool and have been breaking down every gun that seems somewhat connected to an acquired gun that I would like to upgrade. In the past, any part could be improved from 0% up. Now, it seems like a gun part needs to be above 60% in order to be improved (50% for barrels iirc) ... I don't get many parts that clear the 60% threshold ... should I just toss/junk any part that is 60% or below?

[graceful iron]

did you check the apart post in #╭📖faq ?

!apart

[raw raft]

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

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

[tired violet]

Junk everything below 60% (60% and above is repairable). There is a tool you can buy if you give a mechanic some kits, which can repair stuff from way lower, but it's expensive and ONLY worth it really if you need just one more part and just can't seem to find it.

[graceful iron]

did anything change since last time you played on the save?

[pseudo fog]

After a little bit of testing, I reloaded to a save from a few hours ago and it's not happening. If no one knows wth is going on, I guess I'll just take the progress hit

[pseudo fog]

I've been playing the game for the last like 7 hours with no issue

My absolute best guess, and I'll give this is try to see if it's reproducible. I bought two of the 50% gun cleaning kits, and used the other as a support material for the repair. The first time I did this, my health and limb health all dropped to zero, and my game crashed. I tried it again, and it didn't crash. Then I tried to fast travel, and it happened

[carmine breach]

I cant for the life of me find the anonymous signal in southern region of darkscape on 180MHz, is there a set location I have been all over with the RF receiver

[pseudo fog]

Oof, been there done that. I did it a l o n g time ago though, so I don't remember where it was. But keep at it and you'll find it.

[graceful iron]

it wont be the same spot most likely. these spots are randomly generated by the addon responsible for these sidequests

[carmine breach]

The signal in agroprom was easy to find, I've been back to darkscape multiple times looking for this one and haven't found it...

[graceful iron]

did you try using a lamp artefact ?

[carmine breach]

No, but I did just find one of those in the red forest

[analog forum]

@graceful iron and @tired violet ... That image in the "(exclamation)apart" was very helpful. I saved that to my desktop. 'll save all parts to make sure I have at least two of each. Junk/sell the rest. Appreciate the help stalkers.

[graceful iron]

i really have no idea about this bug, and its not the first time someone reports it

are you using any extra animations or addons ?

[pseudo fog]

Negative, unless enabling things like death animations, and highlight new items count

[carmine breach]

Also MR.Anomaly said junk anything below 60% condition, but that's only for weapon parts (they can't be easily repaired below that) but for suit parts the cutoff is 50%. So weapon parts keep anything 60% and above, and suit parts 50% and above

[tired violet]

Ah sorry, I should have clarified that - not sure why I didn't

[graceful iron]

they are optional and there were no bug reports with them so far, i guess they are fine

[pseudo fog]

It's uber bizarre. Did you say other people have reported the same happening?

[graceful iron]

once or twice before, yes

its not a common bug

[pseudo fog]

Okay, I'll keep an eye out to see if it happens again/is reproducible. Is it okay to dm you about it

[graceful iron]

you can just post it on any of the support channels and ping me

its still gamma

[pseudo fog]

Okedoke, lol

[shadow sapphire]

So fresh run and do the storyline option for sid and he tells me to go see loki.. ummm confusion level rising.

[analog forum]

With weapon parts. Do you guys just "field strip" any components that are "dirty and functional" pretty much ditching anything that isn't?

[grim zealot]

Hi guys. I've got a question. If you put the basic tools into the stash of a portable workbench, can you craft basic recipes with it? Or do you have to move the basic tools into your inventory for it to work?

[shadow sapphire]

Depends on how much weight I'm carrying. Typically if I bring it to my inv to strip anything then I'm just going to take it all and sell the extras for pennies, but hey it might make as much money as the couple bullets used to get the loot early game, late game it won't but extra cash always helps.

[grim zealot]

If I have carrying capacity I like to disassemble them with my multitool. I sell the <60% parts to technicians

[shadow sapphire]

To my knowledge they have to be in your inventory as of right now.

[analog forum]

@shadow sapphire ... @grim zealot ... makes sense. Thanks.

[grim zealot]

Ah ok. Thanks. Was wondering because the bench can pull crafting components from its stash, but not tools

[shadow sapphire]

Correct, I believe it's planned to make it use the tools too in the future, but don't quote me on that just something I heard

[graceful iron]

its random. it gives you a random important npc to go talk to for the next mission

its the DR.X storyline, just a bunch of quests to get rich and find the wishgranter

[frank robin]

Is there a way to enable breathing sfx whenever you have a gas mask on?

Or a mod for it?

[minor star]

I think it's somewhere on the settings

"Mask breathing sound" or something like that

[frank robin]

🙏 Thank you so much. I swore it was a thing in vanilla Anomaly but I couldn't remember if it was a mod or not.

Now I only wish that the screen was darker around the edges whenever I had a helmet/mask on.

[dull surge]

gonna ask, which mcm part that have quick melee, i would like to disable it

[fervent apex]

I seem to be having trouble with Dushman and the armor exchange mod

Trying to exchange a Beril-5m whenever I select the option for medium armor nothing happens

[dull surge]

aint Beril 5m a heavy armor or i'm misremembering?

[fervent apex]

it takes medium repair kits, so i assume its medium

Should I have it equipped or in my inventory?

[dull surge]

Oh alright, i remember it usually get classified as heavy in other mod, again, you can see the leaf next to my name, kinda new to this mod at the moment. so i cant help you out there much, sorry

[smoky dome]

anyone know what to do in Operation Monolith questline after you take the area above the monolith warlabs what you are supposed to do?

or is this the end of the questline

cause the dialouge tells me to hold position and search the lab

but there is no more objective marker or task at all to search the monolith warlab

and idk the code to the lab

[real copper]

Has anyone find an actual way to tell what the mutants you are clearing when accepting a job? Are mutants actually diurnal and nocturnal? I assumed they just spawn and that's it. Or does the time of day accepting the job matter. And does the actual mission picture have any bearing on the mutant you'll fight? Since Anomaly I've tried figured this out but can't find a consistent pattern

[sturdy stone]

Apologies if this is in the wrong channel, I wasn't sure where to put it.

I must have changed something and now my NVGs are... well, not working correctly. I have played around with the NVG settings in MCM but nothing seems to fix this. Can anyone point me in the right direction to get this back to GAMMA normal? Thank you in advance!

[grizzled raven]

press n to adjust the brightness

[sturdy stone]

That's with maxed-out brightness :/

[grizzled raven]

dunno then, sorry

[sturdy stone]

Hey I appreciate the suggestion regardless man thank you. This is what it looks like with any kind of lighting on surfaces:

[graceful iron]

delete the shaders cache?

!cache

[raw raft]

To clean your "shaders_cache", don't use the option in the Anomaly launcher.
Go in this folder: Anomaly\appdata, you'll find a folder called shaders_cache, delete this folder and launch the game normally from MO2, using your preferred DX.

[sturdy stone]

I was literally looking up that command in the FAQ right now, great timing! Thank you for your help!

[sturdy stone]

Sadly no luck there... I thought that would've been it for sure

[graceful iron]

is there a psy-storm or emission going ?

make sure you are not standing near any anomalies

[sturdy stone]

No, it's been like this for days

I've just exhausted all my troubleshooting on my own so figured I'd ask :/

[graceful iron]

it started randomly, or after changes or updates ?

[sturdy stone]

I'm sure I must've done something to cause it, changing some setting, but I couldn't track it down to any one thing.

[graceful iron]

you can try resetting the settings to gamma defaults and then going from there

[sturdy stone]

That's a good idea, I'll work on that next. I appreciate the help a lot, thank you for your time!

[graceful iron]

there should be a user ltx file in this path. move it to anomaly/appdata and replace

[smoky dome]

there is no more tasks on my pda

Did the m500 reload anim get fixed? I see some changes were pushed 24 days ago and I have those changes but the animation still is a little scuffed.

Less scuffed than before I think but still scuffed

[sharp anchor]

Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone else has an issue where INSPECT WEAPON doesn't work anymore? I even ticked this ON and double tapping F doesn't do anything

[fast shadow]

@sharp anchor certain weapons dont have the animation.

[sharp anchor]

Oh! no wonder! i have 4 weapons equipped that dont support this i guess

so i thought it was a bug

thanks!

Find a mosberg 500 and try it on that. I know for a fact it works on that shotgun.

will do! thanks again

the SWM visible body mod, im in the mod menu in game and theres an option to enable HD teaxture packs but it saiys it has to be added to be enabled, does gamma already have that or do i need to go and download that

[buoyant trout]

Do companions only fast travel with you if you use a Guide? They stayed behind when I used the PDA, even though they were on follow mode.

[brave steeple]

theyve always lagged behind me usually when i have them, they have such a huge range to spot and engage with an enemy, next time to try and see fi they follow any better i'd disable the fire atw ill option, they usually follow pretty close after that

but idk

[buoyant trout]

🤔

Their follow distance is configurable, I think. Or at least, their disengage distance, in the mod configs.

Is a Renegade SEVA suit going to be easier to repair than a Clear Sky SEVA suit? Can trade one in if I feel like it but it's a fair bit of money, so idk if I should repair it first or later

[brave steeple]

thats another question i had earlier, how come i cant trade armor or guns at the traders? even brand new 100 percent guns

[buoyant trout]

Lore for the modpack states that gun trafficking into the Zone was banned by the Military (and Duty I think?) so basically nobody can sell guns or they're gonna get ATF raided

You gotta loot guns and parts and fix up guns yourself

[graceful iron]

#│📚manual you cant buy or sell guns and armor

[graceful iron]

they will be similarly easy to repair if you have the correct toolkit and can craft or buy the repair kit

the clear sky seva will probably have the better stats overall

the trade will give you a suit in the same condition of the one you traded in

[graceful iron]

they can sometimes bug out or get stuck. make sure they are close enough and on follow before you fast travel

[buoyant trout]

Ahh, it was at 12%

no way to repair

[neon quarry]

Hey, I'm not sure if anyone had this problem before, but I can't seem to find the stash in the Train Hangar, near the sleeping area. I've searched through and through, on the lowest level, then the balcony in- and outside the walls, even managed to jump onto the weird machinery (probably an industrial hopper / mill for crops) above the sleeping area, and I see nothing that could even resemble a stash...
Can anyone give me any hints? Directions? Or is this stash simply bugged?

[fringe coral]

So is dark signal sound removed now? I never got the chance to try it.

[graceful iron]

if you have a toolkit, you can repair it even at 0%

[graceful iron]

it wasnt removed yet

[buoyant trout]

[graceful iron]

there are a few stashes on the roof of that building, that one is probably one of them

Well I broke it down already

I'll find another one day

Could someone explain something about NPC spawns to me please. I have just fought my way through the Radar map for the first time to get to the Brain Scorcher. I took the cross country route (past the helicopter) and then doubled back down the road and eliminated all of the enemies. Then progressed up the road, taking everyone out as I went. When I rounded the corner with a view towards the gate into the compound I took up position about half way down that final straight to take out anything emerging from the gate. There then followed a protracted firefight where there were as many enemies coming from behind as were coming through the gate. Where were they coming from? I had killed everything behind me on the entire map, and there is no other access for them to exit the compound from. Do they just spawn out of nowhere?

[graceful iron]

its an upgrade kit. they are usually replaced by a different type of upgrade kit or removed

[neon quarry]

Shizz, so it got removed, I guess

[gloomy garnet]

how do i disable the mod that makes you put the gun against the wall while ur fighting and not peeking? i run into a lot of problems such as not being able to pull out the guns and the guns are pointing in the air when im trying to shoot a player

[neon quarry]

I was happy that I've got some good loot that time lol

[graceful iron]

you can climb the scaffolding to reach the roof

[surreal pollen]

ahi i wanna ask
so recently learn that you can encode the 3 factions and if i have a old save file before i encoded the 3 factions do they still show up

or do i need a new game to let them spawn

[graceful iron]

#old-only-installer-support message

[neon quarry]

Aight, thanx 🙂

[graceful iron]

seriously, check the repair guides

[boreal jewel]

How do you use the canted sights? I picked up a weapon which has standard iron sights, and a canted red dot, but I can't figure out how to cant the weapon.

[graceful iron]

v #│💻keybinds-in-gamma

[boreal jewel]

Ah, so same as grenade launcher?

[graceful iron]

yes

[surreal pollen]

Does the UNISG faction spawn in on a old save file or do i have to make a new game to let them spawn?

[stuck sun]

Are you asking about unlocking the factions as playable for you, or to unlock them as enemies in the game?

Because they spawn naturally with the zero need for you to do anything. They're just a rare encounter (sometimes)

[graceful iron]

random stalkers from UNISG and SIN will not spawn in the zone until you reach their respective storyline quests (except for some cases with addons like ZCP)

renegades are a random spawn and will mostly be found in the swamps

[boreal jewel]

Thanks, and which key is it for readying grenades? I thought it was 4 but that seems to equip my binoculars instead.

[graceful iron]

check your keybinds settings and #│💻keybinds-in-gamma

[boreal jewel]

Last question (sorry!). I have been trying to use the Portable Workbench. I have crafted two now, but each time I select 'Place Item' I get the green dot outline, but pressing the F key (in my case Mouse 5) only seems to place the green dots (they lock in place and no longer move)! The actual workbench doesn't replace them as it should.

[graceful iron]

did you try changing the keybind to something else? and make sure there is enough space for it

[boreal jewel]

Yeah, I have tried placing it in several different large spaces, same result each time. And I'm pretty sure the keybind isn't the issue as M5 works for everything else, and the dots do change state when I press it. I'll try reverting the bind to F later.

[carmine wyvern]

Is it intended that Anti Rad Resistance Drugs give the maximum available Rad Resistance?

I can go anywhere I want, even w/o a Mask equiped as long as I chug a Tablet every x minutes

[craggy scroll]

is my gun supposed to look like this?

[smoky dome]

is there a way to add more music for the piano to play?

[carmine wyvern]

I dont see anything odd?

[craggy scroll]

gun is brighter when near a campfire, is that normal or nah?

[velvet crest]

[graceful iron]

crashes after loading a save?

[velvet crest]

is

last save

game start, take 1 or 2 steps and boom shutdown game

so yes

[graceful iron]

how many addons active, and are there any red X's in the modlist ?

does the crash happen everytime ?

[velvet crest]

326 and no x

it happened 3 times one after another then the fourth time i played like 2m died did last save took 2 steps and shut down

[graceful iron]

the installed anomaly is version 1.5.1 ?

[velvet crest]

no

1.0.5

[graceful iron]

what?

do you still have the downloaded anomaly zip file? check the version on it

or the folder

[velvet crest]

oh let me search for it and check

[graceful iron]

thats the launcher, not anomaly

[velvet crest]

yes yes 1.5.1.2

sorry

[graceful iron]

the other 3 times, it was the same crash? just randomly while moving around? did you try loading the save again, it really seems like a random crash

[velvet crest]

every time i loaded the game it crashed after pressing w to walk if i didn't press anything it dont crash

i will try it now again and see if it happens again and replay to u

[north turret]

Hello there lads, I have a quick question about Death notifications.
Is there a way to change it to display a death notification for EVERY FACTION member you kill?
It seems that when I kill Military it doesn't show anything, but when I kill Eco for example, it shows that I did.
It also works the other way, when Military dudes kill loners, it displays a notification etc, but when a Loner kills them, it shows nothing.

Oh and one more thing, the immersive body addon appears to show a model from HD Models, not the DICK mod.

[north turret]

why in gods name is a moonlight artifact barely 2000 roubles

[velvet crest]

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UcudCnEwzst5C3hMUwPcIwZ0bX6vvm50/view?usp=sharing this is a link to a video i just recorded of the problem the first time crashed seconed time nothing thierd time crash before recording it happned like 5 time in a row

[smoky dome]

Anyone know if you need to start a fresh new game to start the "Lost to the Zone" quests

or can you take them if you changed ur faction to loner

started as military and I just finished their questline and I wanna know if I can use my current character to do Lost to the Zone or if I have to start a new fresh loner

[velvet crest]

is this a problem and how to fix it ?

[brisk zinc]

No it's not a problem, don't use the Anomaly launcher and don't verify stuff

You don't need it for GAMMA

[velvet crest]

i go from gamma installer open up the app that manage mods and then launch it from there

[brisk zinc]

You need to use any DX to play GAMMA

[gloomy garnet]

everytime i save outside the mutant collection building in agroprom my game crashes and sometimes when i open my night vision its just blury with no colour

[carmine wyvern]

Someone had the same problem and it turned out he didnt had Dux's Add-Ons installed properly

hmm ill give it try thx vex

[carmine wyvern]

You got all 326 addons?

[dusty path]

yes

[carmine wyvern]

Mhm maybe post the crashlog in #old-bugs

Is there a way to have the hands on the left hand side if the screen?

As in mirroring the viewmodel?

[heavy herald]

why i get damage when im running

[fast shadow]

You might be irradiated

Do you have a radiation icon in the lower left?

[heavy herald]

no

[fast shadow]

Or your legs might be damaged

[heavy herald]

i used antirad to make sure

ohhh

its like 25%

or so

[fast shadow]

Thats why

[heavy herald]

i understand now

thank you

[fast shadow]

Use some pre heals like a bandage or medkit then some post heals

Or visist a doctor

[gloomy garnet]

where can i sell guns in stalker gamma?

[heavy herald]

yea

heres the problem

[fast shadow]

@gloomy garnet you cant see #│📚manual

[heavy herald]

im in cordon farm

and theres no meds i can buy

xD

[fast shadow]

oof

Better start limping

[heavy herald]

does sleeping regen limb health?

i think i read it someoger

[carmine wyvern]

Sleeping regens Main HP

You can visit a Doctor to heal yourself up for 1850 roubles

[heavy herald]

so main HP?

not limb HP

[carmine wyvern]

Ye

[heavy herald]

ok

thanks

HOLD UP

i just noticed i have an artifact worth 60k roubles

xD

[fast shadow]

Hey @carmine wyvern when you play do you update pretty frequently? When I update I always have to disable/enable all my selected mods and re-do my settings. Not sure if there is a better way to do this so I always avoid updates.

[carmine wyvern]

Thats probably the Base Price

[heavy herald]

i started maybe 2 hours ago

[carmine wyvern]

!backup

[raw raft]

"Why does every update completely reset my keybinds/my settings/my mods/my stuff in general?"
G.A.M.M.A. has a default mod list to make sure everyone has the same things, everything goes back to default when you update or you do a complete installation, it's normal.
You can backup your keybinds and mod settings following this guide: #╭📖faq message

[carmine wyvern]

That should help

[carmine wyvern]

Base Price = 100% Condition

You can sell Artifacts at 30%Condition

[fast shadow]

Alright cool, I was wondering if I could override that mod list or something. I have a backup of my settings and keybinds but its the enabling and disabling of some select mods I like to play with or without.

Like save my mod list and then do the gamma update but replace the default mod list XD

[carmine wyvern]

I always forget to Backup lmao

Its always a Bruh Moment when I start the game and everything is fucked 😂

[fast shadow]

Did I get scammed, the scientist guy sold me a headlamp w/1PN93 Nightvision but its just a normal headlamp

Nvm

[dense cargo]

anyone done the ecologists quests? im finding samples in wild territory and got 2 of them, there is no marker for the 3rd

[brisk zinc]

I really need to make a command for this

[brisk zinc]

Save the game
Use debug and spam every artefact until you hear the "quest complete" sound
Reload
Spawn only the artefact you need
Complete the quest
Kill Kovalev because the quest is fucking stupid and the reward is even more stupid

Because it's probably Kovalev

And if it isn't a quest from Kovalev, it's the same thing

Unfortunately artefacts aren't really where you have to found them because... they're artefacts
And as such, they move
Or they just don't spawn
The fucking quest marker is like "static" and it doesn't actually follow the artefact you need
It just tell you "hey, it's there, go check it out", so it's basically a 50/50 chance

[dense cargo]

I see. ty

[shadow sapphire]

Question: Disguise keybind no longer works, I can not find the keybind anywhere in either vanilla keybinds or MCM. Mods loaded: 326. Fresh install, fresh save, have already tried update gamma mods

[brisk zinc]

You mean the on/off patch, right? It should be Z

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah nothing happens....

Tested with multiple armors, that I have patches for in inventory. My only thing I wonder is if it does not allow you to use the keybind if durability is too low. (Which would make sense) but the context is I am wearing a looted Bandit stalker suit and wanted to make sure it didnt have the patch on, attempted z to remove, but it didnt work, had to go and right click in inv to tear patch off.

[boreal jewel]

Changed the Use keybind back to F and the Portable Workbench more places correctly. Change back to M5 and it's the only thing that breaks again - wtf! F it is I guess.

[carmine wyvern]

My Man Falco hates Scientists

[pulsar yoke]

Does someone else has problems with some stashes? I tried to collect the stuff from some stashes I got ( the white stash markers on map) but when I press F in front of them ( when it says press f) nothing happens ? for example the one stash in cordon on top of the railroad bridge

It seems I cannot interact with some of them maybe bugged ?

[carmine wyvern]

You need to get closer to the stashes sometimes

[worn merlin]

Does anyone ever have issue with their followers where they'll just point their guns at enemies but don't shoot??

[pulsar yoke]

No but for me they never loot bodies when I tell them to do so.

[stark hill]

Are mutant skins upgradeable in this modpack? I have a slew of skins >.>

[brisk zinc]

That's because they can't loot bodies

They can loot what's on the ground

If you/an enemy drop a gun, your companion (if he manage to go literally on top of the item) will grab it

[pure scarab]

why is this here? isnt this for quest only?

[pulsar yoke]

Ahh ok, did not knew that thank you 🙂

[brisk zinc]

It's for new anomalies from DAO

[pulsar yoke]

I just thought they can loot bodies because I see npcs loot bodies after firefights

[brisk zinc]

That's another thing

[pure scarab]

ohhh new stuff

wait did the animation mod got removed?

why does the landscape have no green grass?

[brisk zinc]

FDDA

It's still in

Certain animations were "removed"

[pure scarab]

ah

[brisk zinc]

Where "removed" is "disabled"

Let me pull out the commands list

!disabled

[raw raft]

Mods under the G.A.M.M.A Disabled category are disabled for a variety of reasons: compatibility, performance, bugs, busy hands, etc. DO NOT ENABLE THEM FOR ANY REASON.
"But why are those mods there if you can't activate them?", you probably will ask after. Because G.A.M.M.A. as a whole is STILL IN BETA, and no, Grok can't simply remove them. Version 1.0 will have a clean mod list.
That red cross in there it's fine, don't worry about it.

DO NOT ENABLE ANIMATIONS THAT ARE DISABLED BY DEFAULT, IN MCM IN GAME OR ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE MOD LIST, they're disabled for the same reasons written above. If you use them, forget about #old-bugs or #🔨base-gamma-support, don't use these two channels. Use #🔨modded-gamma-support instead.

[brisk zinc]

Read the last thing about animations

If you want to use them, remember that you can get this stuff:

!busyhands

[raw raft]

DO NOT ENABLE any of the disabled animations. These are the root cause of multiple animation loops that can break the game, to the point where you have to delete the save.
This bug is called "busy hands", an animation loop that prevents the player from interacting with the action keys, except for movement.

If you are still unsure whether you have it or not, try to do any of the following: interact with objects or people, use a weapon, open your inventory, drink/eat/sleep and so on.
The only possible way to, maybe, remove it completely is to disable any extra activated animation that was previously disabled. You will also have to go back to a previous save where you are 100% sure that you don't have busy hands.

Animations that bring busy hands:

• Opening/closing backpack
• Skinning of mutants
• Disassembling objects with Left-Alt pressed
• Picking up objects

[pure scarab]

ah i see they were causing bugs

[brisk zinc]

Basically, yes

[pure scarab]

ok then

thanks 😄

[north turret]

Hello, I hope this is the right channel to ask this. What kind of Hardware is needed to run Gamma at its finest? I think it reached a point where the game just looks to good for my old rig and even on the lowest possible settings I cant play fluently. Obviously just buying any good PC will do the job, but I was wondering if there are specific things or bottlenecks for the performance of Gamma / Anomaly etc.
Thanks!

[north turret]

The component that has the most influence is the CPU. In general there are no specific requirements for GAMMA. The CPU takes the most regarding the load because Anomaly uses a modified X-Ray engine and this old engine doesn't support multithreading. It's already a miracle the engine was converted to 64 bit.
However, I'd like to note that due to engine limitations this game doesn't really care whether you have a 3080 or 1080 nor some really fancy CPU but I'd say the CPU is still an important factor.

[fervent tusk]

Enhanced recoil effects on or off? I remember grok saying leave it off

[north turret]

The ones in settings should be off

[fervent tusk]

yup 👍 thanks

[north turret]

Because GBOOBS already have a better effect 😁

[fervent tusk]

just wanted to make sure i dont miss out on it, i liked that setting generally

but yeah gboobs is improved

[hallow ocean]

Hey guys, what setting in keybinds / how to adjust the zoom level of the CQBSS scope?

[thick pawn]

can someone please explain what the addon "turn this on if you stutter" does?

does it decrease stalker or mutant populations or what does it change?

[north turret]

In this area stashes can be hidden inside cabins, tubes and other places. I can't really see the exact location in your SC but take a better look.

[north turret]

This changes the distance of the NPCs (A-life) becoming active. This particular thing lowers the distance at which NPCs become active and start doing their things. Therefore may remove stutters because NPCs aren't active further away from you. They'll become active the closer you get to a particular area they are in.

[north turret]

This will require editing values in corresponding files if you can find which one is responsible for the variable zoom factor.

I assume.

[hallow ocean]

Ah ok, I will not be touching those for a while, thanks none the less. 🙂

[north turret]

I think it's not too hard if you know which file and line is responsible for that. So it's really doable if you want it bad 😁

[thick pawn]

thanks dude

[hallow ocean]

Hehe I hear you, might try figuring that one out eventually but for now I am not too bothered by it. Might get keen for it once I get into more open areas and could really use the zoom utility + the swap speed to that RMR red dot. But for now it's fine.

[north turret]

I think some scopes may have better zoom options So might as well go with them

[gritty fog]

hey i just want to ask that are those gamma addons have any torrent file cuz it's downloading super slow don't know why so i think someone probably made a torrent file that contains all of the addons thanks :)

[hallow ocean]

Might just rock it for the looks, I like the set-up.

[hallow ocean]

Have you selected a download server close to you in the launcher? You got NA and EU choices.

Top right.

[gritty fog]

yeah i tried them and also tried downloading manually same slow speed about 200 kpbs

[north turret]

Not that I know of. Most addons are on Mod DB and well, they stay there because packing them into a Torrent will miss out any updates by their authors and that's probably not very good for copyrights I suppose

Slow Internet is a major drawback

[versed tusk]

It's also the weekend, most busy times for moddb servers

[gritty fog]

i think it's not about my internet

moddb servers always does this to me

[buoyant trout]

Can someone explain wtf this is 😂

[brisk zinc]

You can kick mutants spamming F

It works with smaller mutants like rats and tushkanos

I don't know if with this artefact you can kick other mutants

[buoyant trout]

huh

I didn't know I had non-knife melee options

[brisk zinc]

https://tenor.com/view/the-more-you-know-gif-10358303

[sturdy stone]

The true build is 5 of those

5 Giant Brass Balls and you can kick pseudogiants into orbit

[brisk zinc]

We have a final answer then, we can kick every mutants with these artefacts

[hallow ocean]

So noticed that once I switch scopes the zoomed in scope turns into and gets stuck on being a one times, anyone else experience this?

[sturdy stone]

!backup

Finally made the efficiencyof the foods, (I forgot about it), my conclusions:
Most commun meat? Flesh and dog, I dont know.

Stewed dog:
-Price: 726
-Kal: 445
-Efficiency: 0.52
But you need to tank the radiation after. Very cheap very good.

[terse sun]

hmm I'm so hard pressed to upgrade my ak105 specialist to shakal but 111k RU is kinda steep :/

[viscid sparrow]

Stewed flesh:
-Price: 1055
-Kal: 643
-Efficiency: 0.60
Even better and tank the radition

Purified flesh:
-Price: 1808
-Kal: 757
-Efficiency: 0.29
No rads but worse Efficiency and you need a multi-stofe = 15232 rumbles

Purified dog:
-Price: 1808
-Kal: 445
-Efficiency: 0.24
No rads but worse Efficiency and you need a multi-stofe = 15232 rumbles

All prices from sidrov.

Mutant meet is better if you tank the rads, the beef can has a Efficiency of 0.19

Also better when you dont tank, but lees worth it

[tidal raft]

Completely excluding the passive buffs gained from purified foods.

[brisk zinc]

I just told him the truth

Cooked mutant food is better

so, say, a Loner joins Duty.

[dense hearth]

which achievements should newer gamma players go for as priority?

[terse sun]

Achievement for extra repair bonus and achievement for better disassembling

oh

can I do it my current save

or do I have to start a new one

and where is it in MO2?

[dense hearth]

thanks

[sage holly]

How does one go about making the sight reticule's smaller? Just got the kobra and it takes up most of the actual sight.

[frank spire]

are stashes not supposed to have loot unless you have the coords?

ive found 2 in some pipes and theyre just empty

[terse sun]

yes

[frank spire]

damn

[terse sun]

you need coordinates

[brisk zinc]

!stash

[raw raft]

Stashes are empty by default; you will have to find or get coordinates to actually find something in them. These coordinates can be obtained as rewards by completing quests or by reading PDAs that you can find on the bodies of stalkers you kill. You can also buy them from traders, although the location is always random, so the location could be anywhere.

Inside these stashes you can find toolkits.

In the south part of the Zone (everywhere UNDER Red Forest) is where you'll find Basic and Advanced.
In the north part of the Zone (INSIDE Red Forest and ONLY NORTH from there) is where you'll find Expert, along the other two.
You also have the gunsmithing toolkit, which is used to craft ammunition of all kinds and you also have the drug making kit, used to create drugs and medicines.

Depending on the location, north or south:
**White **stashes have a small chance of finding ANY toolkit inside, this means that you can find ONE basic/advanced/expert toolkit **OR **a gunsmithing toolkit **OR **a drug making toolkit.
**Green **stashes have a 100% chance of finding ONE toolkit inside from that pool, so it could be anything but you'll always find one.

[eager silo]

Fast forwards time, only steeped in one once, instantly passed 2h

[terse sun]

wow, do the bodily needs follow the time lapse or?

[terse sun]

does limansk count as northern from red forest or is it still considered south?

[brisk zinc]

I don't have the map in front of me

[eager silo]

Did for me

[brisk zinc]

If Limansk is above Red Forest, then it's north

If it isn't, it's south

But I'm pretty sure that hell is north

[terse sun]

well technically it's kinda leveled

[brisk zinc]

It surely isn't a southern place

It's filled with Monolith

[terse sun]

yeah that would make sense

[terse sun]

that's a bit of a shame, would be cool to be able to skip time without getting hungry/sleepy

[dense hearth]

does the garbage butcher have supply rank 5?

[brisk zinc]

You can't level him

So that's a no I guess

[dense hearth]

he's still the best to sell meat to right?

[terse sun]

and mutant parts yes

[dense hearth]

should i save the super rare mutant parts for dude at yantar?

[terse sun]

it's a tossup between selling the parts and giving them away for certain mutant part requests from npcs (stalkers alike), same goes for meat. Some can pay very good money for those parts, so my personaly strategy is to save anything related to bloodsucker, psysucker, burer, pseudogiant and controller parts, and just sell the lower tier parts to butcher (cat tails, pseudodog, boar etc.)

[smoky dome]

save them up for quests

ask around rostok

a lot of dutyers have mutant part quests

[eager silo]

Yeah as others are saying keep parts for quests but if you're over full of parts Butcher gives you the pest price for all parts, better then the Ecos for some reason, so selling all parts is better with him but usually get much more for tasks

[smoky dome]

thats why I built my base in rostok

everyday I ask around rostok for quests

ez money

[dense hearth]

so are you recommending to move all your mats and what not to rostok?

yea basically if you can

its in the center of the south of the zone too

I make plans on what quests to do during the day and I always end up in rostok at the end of the day

just cause its in the middle

and the loners and dutyers there will give a lot of quests

my water is acting up, it reflects the background sometimes but glitches out as I get closer to it. it goes in and out and sometimes goes away completely

is there a setting I may have accidentally activated?

[tulip ore]

[quaint seal]

Has trading with wandering stalkers been disabled?

[smoky dome]

yea

only at traders

but u can sell junk at traders now

not mechanics or food vendors tho

[quaint seal]

Bet so I'm not tripping, Thank you!

[grizzled raven]

sorta

[smoky dome]

don't sell all of ur junk tho

[grizzled raven]

you can press x when talking with them and you can still trade

[smoky dome]

disassemble shit like broken junk

u need their crafting mats

[opal relic]

Does the mod kit for the Kar98 upgrade it to the Forrester or are they separate weapons?

[smoky dome]

just sell junk like jewelry, watches and playing cards

[obtuse berry]

anyone know when/where .338 federal ammo is available?

[smoky dome]

as in .338 Lapua?

thats gonna be available at a NATO trader at 2000 goodwill

so gl

or u can craft it

does anyone know how to start the "Lost to the Zone" series of quests?

or is Lost to the Zone the same as Mysteries of the Zone

[willow hawk]

Ppsh is hard to sustain

I should probably increase the amount of ammo available at traders for that caliber

[smoky dome]

eh I don't really have an ammo problem with that gun

I use it for mutants and finishing up human enemies

I mainly use the Kar98k

[pure scarab]

[grizzled raven]

[grizzled raven]

[grizzled raven]

its pretty useless

[pure scarab]

[grizzled raven]
