[versed tusk]

like an artefact, slow emitting?

sleeping speeds up time

so

[soft niche]

had a artifact that added +2 with beta radation

[versed tusk]

well

[shadow sapphire]

That would do it

[versed tusk]

stick it in a container or a stash

[soft niche]

but i had been walking around with it all day and nothing but as soon as i sleep i get max rads

[versed tusk]

sleeping skips time, but still applies dots

[shadow sapphire]

Ah yeah so heres the thing, when you are awake your armor protects you from rads right. But do you sleep in your armor?

[flat hill]

its the L85A2 tactical. instead of switching between scopes it goes into grenade launcher mode. its such a shame actually not being able to use the gun i spent my entire savings to clean and fix. feelsbadman.

[shadow sapphire]

Bruh, how is it not loading a single script. Is this an update from 1.5.1 -> 1.5.2?

[shadow sapphire]

Ill check it out in a moment

[frank robin]

I think so? I've not updated it in a week or week 1/2.

[shadow sapphire]

Did you keep your user.ltx file

[frank robin]

Probably not considering it was just a clean install on another drive.

[shadow sapphire]

Can you send your modlist please

[shadow sapphire]

Which scopes/kit on it?

Actually just send me a screenshot of the gun please

[flat hill]

sure

[shadow sapphire]

Ah. You need an update

That bug was fixed after your update

[frank robin]

Oh, that's weird. I could've swore I ran the update after install. Will let you know in a second how it works out.

[shadow sapphire]

Make sure its a Full install

Weve been getting at least 1 update a day for like a week now

ffs why wont it let me dump the parts in the npc inventory instead of yours.

[flat hill]

where does the screenshots go actually

[bleak nest]

whats the benefit to renting out someones vice?

[shadow sapphire]

If you used f12 they go into anomaly -> appdata -> screenshots. If you used prntscrn they go into the overwrite folder in the gamma folder

[shadow sapphire]

Literally none. You spend money to learn you should have read the #│📚manual

[bleak nest]

lol gotcha, figures

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah its kinda hilarious to me

[flat hill]

its this one.

[shadow sapphire]

Ok, so you have an acog on it, what else?

[flat hill]

acog granade launcher and silencer

[shadow sapphire]

It works fine for me. So First view is the Acog, then you hit v, and he tilts the weapon to the left allowing you to aim with laser, hit v again and he opens up the gl sight

[flat hill]

yes exacly

[shadow sapphire]

Ok, so what is the question...

[flat hill]

how can i make it just cycle between scopes not gl

[versed tusk]

take the gl off?

[flat hill]

i wanna use it in combat LUL

why the same button tho thats my problem

[shadow sapphire]

Right, so I guess I got confused lol. I said I dont believe you can, it cycles between all three, and then you said it only goes between gl and scope lol. So I assumed you were saying that it didnt go into alt aim

[versed tusk]

same

[flat hill]

yeap thats right

[shadow sapphire]

Wait, so you have 3 aiming modes or 2 then?

Because I am lost now.

[flat hill]

2 aiming modes + gl mode

[shadow sapphire]

Right so thats three, so it IS going into all 3, you just dont want it to, is that correct?

[flat hill]

yes axacly

[cunning hinge]

so how do i fix my leg lol

[shadow sapphire]

Will need context. Preferably, funny context

[cunning hinge]

Got shot in the leg, its blacked not really funny sadly

[flat hill]

what i want is that while im aiming down sights with my right mouse button it cycles between aiming modes and while im in normal stance i want button to work between gl and normal fire mode. does that make sense?

[shadow sapphire]

Im assuming by blacked you mean health gone and not that you are playing tarkov lol. In either case go to #🤖bot-commands and type !heal

[cunning hinge]

thx (didn't know how to say it lol)

[frozen geyser]

do bhs command to find out which mods to disable to just use the normal stalker healing system

[shadow sapphire]

no worries

[versed tusk]

the bot command channel has pinned commands

[shadow sapphire]

I dont think he was asking that lol

[versed tusk]

with explainer

and no, he wanted !heal

[frozen geyser]

I mean after I figured out how healing worked, the first thing I wanted to know was how to disable it. So I put it out there in case he's the same

[versed tusk]

[frozen geyser]

but yeah gamma healing is temp heals and post heals targeted at specific body parts

[shadow sapphire]

I would bet money a dude who plays enough tarkov that he said the limb was blacked is in gamma because he wants that experience without getting 1 shot by some person with no life

[frozen geyser]

hrmm odd went to loot a body and watched half their inventory disappear

[shadow sapphire]

Nah, sounds like xray just being slow. Loot is custom in gamma, so alot of times the loot originally there gets changed into other stuff

[soft niche]

whenever i run i take damage? no idea what happened

[shadow sapphire]

How injured are your legs?

[soft niche]

left leg is just a hair below half

[frozen geyser]

check your inventory and see if heart is red, if so bleeding. If rad symbol is red, radiation

[soft niche]

right is fine

[shadow sapphire]

This is why

[shadow sapphire]

nope, he has a bum leg

[soft niche]

how do i heal limbs?

[versed tusk]

limbs have a threshold - under 50% takes damage when you sprint

#🤖bot-commands type !heal

[shadow sapphire]

Am I having deja vu, because I swear we talked about this a few hours ago @soft niche o.0?

[soft niche]

you did

[shadow sapphire]

Ok lol, as long as im not going crazy

[soft niche]

take your schizo meds and we wont be talking

[versed tusk]

slowly, larkin... slowly

[shadow sapphire]

LOLOL

[frozen geyser]

heal with tourniquet or medpack for temp heal, then use something like ibuprofin, fentanyl, or yandarin for post heals

temp heals disappear over time

[soft niche]

i only have medkits

well first aid

no painkillers of any sort

[versed tusk]

ye that might happen

[frozen geyser]

Then use those for now, bum rush to a base and see a surgeon for heals

I think a tool tip told me sleeping heals limbs too

[soft niche]

my darkscape adventures will be halted intill i get to scamovitch for mds

[versed tusk]

slow walk your ass

[frozen geyser]

I mean we're used to slow walking from the first three stalker games.

*chugs 10 cans of monster to have enough stamina to get my fat arse across one map in the vanilla games

[soft niche]

thankfully most of the mutants in the cordon are gone

[versed tusk]

if you wanna be smart about it, either sleep and heal the limbs - or go to a doctor and get healed fully for 1800 R

Great swamps in the South West is nearest

[soft niche]

how long does ibuprofin, fentanyl, or yandarin last?

[frozen geyser]

some of the syringes do post heals too I think

[versed tusk]

first check what heals which bodypart - so you consume the right one

[shadow sapphire]

Or get in car

[versed tusk]

hover over the item and it shows H T A L

Head Torso Arms Legs

once you have the right one, use a bandage to get yellow health, then use ibu, yaduling etc

hovering also shows you how much it heals

[terse hawk]

is gameplay difficulty the same thing as vanilla rookie - master difficulty?

[versed tusk]

i think so, yes. it is predominantly about damage etc

hazards/bullets etc

[bleak nest]

I got this quest here, cant seem to find anything to complete it.

[versed tusk]

usually at night and towards the west of town

[bleak nest]

ight, ive been around here for a few hours at night but ill stay a bit longer

[versed tusk]

for me, they always came out of that house or one near it

[warm sand]

Hey can someone help me out with the brightness? I know the slider doesn't work but i heard there's some way to fix it with a command, or "the reshade"?

[willow hawk]

Press Home button

Otherwise tweak the gamma commands in the console

[bleak nest]

that house is full of rads lol

[warm sand]

Thank you Lord grok

[terse sun]

did helmets got nerfed with updates? I just got an apocalypse helmet and it looks quite underwhelming as far as radiation protection goes, ballistics are great though

[versed tusk]

helmets are good at one thing, not both

BR, get a apoc. Rad res, get a gasmask, like ranger

there are some in the middle but none excels at both

[terse sun]

that's kinda cool, so the spartan is the best BR helmet obviously, but what are its rad stats?

[versed tusk]

Spartan is very good BR and ok in res, but i dont know the stats by heart. most people tend to use it tho

i use the ranger rn untill i find the spartan

i prefer res over BR on my dome and its working

[terse sun]

ok so does BR actually now work with our character as well? much like the ballistic mod works towards npcs?

so for example, how does a 43BR, 30% ballistic resistance suit compare to a BR53 15% ballistic resistance for example?

[versed tusk]

the higher the BR the better, res is secondary in that sense

[terse sun]

thanks!

[versed tusk]

there's a formula that calculates damage and BR

iirc - and take that with a grain of salt - a bullet's AP is subtracted from your BR untill it reaches 0, then it applies damage, and res is subtracted from that damage

so higher BR means more bullets spent until you take damage

but i only have a basic understanding and this could be off

[terse sun]

this sounds really cool

thanks for that info 🙂

[atomic widget]

Guys, quick question about the lost signal quest. Do you need to keep the PDA where the frequency is found in for the quest to be activatable?

[shadow sapphire]

Just a dynamic lost signal?

And what do you mean by activatable?

[atomic widget]

this one

[frank robin]

I'm a dumbass. I didn't realize you had to update and extract the 1.5.2 update into Anomaly

[atomic widget]

I mean I heard a lot of people asking about this type of quests. I never got this quest from any NPC though, just from these PDA

never tried to find these either

[shadow sapphire]

Oh, no you dont need to keep the pda to my knowledge

[shadow sapphire]

HAHA no worries, it happens

[atomic widget]

thanks 👍 . What about those Lost Signals quests though? Never tasked by any quest givers for those

[shadow sapphire]

You just get em, works the same way, go to the map use the rf bring back the pda

[atomic widget]

ok

[soft niche]

wheres a place i can get another basic tool kit

[shadow sapphire]

Stashes

[soft niche]

i need historic and i dont wanna give up my basic tool kit

[shadow sapphire]

You dont need to

[soft niche]

i know

[versed tusk]

craft the historic

[soft niche]

but i dont got the stuff to make one\

[soft niche]

cant dont have the stuff

[versed tusk]

but yeah, toolkits = stashes

[shadow sapphire]

Buy it from technician

He has the stuff

[soft niche]

he dont have what i need

thats the thing

[versed tusk]

its a slow slow way out of hobo phase

[shadow sapphire]

You need a 12GA cleaning kit, steel wool, and what else

gun spray

whats the fourth thing

[crude oyster]

do the ecologists have a guide/traveler npc now? i notice the new traders and quest givers now in yantar but do any of them provide ways to get around? specifically north because i want to get to jupiter but im not insane enough to go to red forest this early

[shadow sapphire]

Not sure if they do, but I know rostok and swamps do

[versed tusk]

you'll need the psy helmet too

but i dont remember a guide in yantar

[soft niche]

who buys artifacts?

[versed tusk]

The best prices you get in Yantar - but they need to be over 30%

its better to stash them all early until you get the melter. you can ofc sell the perk/trash artefacts if you need money bad

[brisk zinc]

It's still better to keep them all

Especially if you plan to use artefacts

It's a long term (not) investment

[versed tusk]

for a beginner, short on cash, selling a few wont hurt too much

but yeah

[brisk zinc]

Meh, just do a shit load of quests and you'll be fine

South is full of people with quests

I've made my money with Wolf, Fanatic and Butcher

If you want to go further you also have Duty and Freedom, it's all about how much do you want to walk (or teleport)

[versed tusk]

my tip also is to not skip the swamps, good quests, lots of money

and a bit better gear than Cordon

[brisk zinc]

Swamp is a perfect place to start

Last Dawn is easy money, the problem is when you need to kill

[versed tusk]

Army quest is the worst of them, the Renegades are pretty ok

i wait with Army until i have a SKS

[terse hawk]

is campfire saving on by default? i didnt select it and the "yet another campfire save" is stopping me

[terse sun]

army is somewhat alright, what about mercs, sending you to dark valley on your first mission... or darkscape...

[terse sun]

yes

[terse hawk]

ah ok, i just wonder if my game is bugged

is there anyway to disable?

[versed tusk]

got to #🤖bot-commands and type !yacs

or be a

I'm joking ofc

[shadow sapphire]

Or go to the MCM menu and go to YACS and untick the campfire saves box

[terse hawk]

ok thnx, ill try it out to see if i like it

[versed tusk]

that's what the command says ya + saving mcm values

[shadow sapphire]

Oh my, I thought that was the how to disable the mod one 😦

[versed tusk]

nah its for mcm only, which is fine tbh. way less confusing

people can't install properly, now imagine fiddling in MO2

[terse sun]

you know what yantar has been missing since forever? a freakin medic

[royal glacier]

if you drop an item or weapon from inventory it goes to the overworld?

because i just lost a kark98

[terse sun]

check your companions inventory, sometimes they're the true loot goblins

[royal glacier]

nono i was about to take a screenshot ( windows+shift+S ) for ask about the kark 98 supressor, and the sniper left the chat :c

and holding F doesn't show anywhing dropped

[surreal pollen]

how does one remove animated background

[vague quiver]

ok i found the tree artifact and the helicopter artifact from the Deadwood x-19 quest, where is the other one?

[terse sun]

is there a "!" function on this discord for artefact smelting?

[tidal raft]

#│📚manual

[buoyant stump]

AK 12 monolith upgraded, where is my RMR lol

[terse sun]

I read that but there is only explanation of empowering the artefacts as in empowering one arte with another raises its quality by sum of the two - what I'd like to know is how fusing works - for example, fusing two 100% condition junk artefacts still results in extremely poor fuse

[tidal raft]

Because of the namesake.
It was too easy to fuse junk to get fully restored t1 artefacts.

[manic burrow]

turn the laser on. hold flashlight key

[buoyant stump]

i do know about the laser, but i thought the upgraded came with a canted mini red dot sight

welp, point shooting with the laser will have to do

[terse sun]

ok so can I assume, that when I'll be fusing two tier 1 artes (with full condition) to tier 2 lets say, the result will be a 100% condition fuse, or?

[manic burrow]

i prefer the laser

[surreal pollen]

actually some of that had purposes also

some dont have rmrs

[terse sun]

thanks aldo!

[buoyant stump]

thats kinda cool actually

[tidal raft]

99% is maximum.

[surreal pollen]

most guns have compsct design of like picatinni rails which stops mini scoprs being added

thats why some prefer laser sights

pref 74 and other guns

[terse sun]

bear ak is king anyways

beard*

[surreal pollen]

also

do i kill renegades as a merc even tho its theyre not hostile

what the fuck theyre bandits

[terse sun]

renegades aren't bandits

renegades are renegades

[buoyant stump]

who can take me to zaton? i mean a guide

[whole sand]

So not sure if this is a bug or if i'm just an idiot. The FN 5.7 says it has a kit with Laser module and red dot mount but it doesn't seem to have either is it supposed to be this way?. I was messing around in the debug menu to get a feel for weapons if that makes a difference.

[shadow sapphire]

I want to say one of the clear sky dudes goes to zaton or jupiter.

[terse sun]

afaik no guide goes straight to zaton, maybe military with a helicopter but not sure. Maybe I'm wrong.

But as far as south goes, freedom and bar guide will both take you to jupiter and I think the guide from CS base only takes to cordon and either agroprom or yantar, can't remember them all

[crude oyster]

merc has a guy to take you to their base in zaton if you're neutral with them

[buoyant stump]

thanks guys

i read something about the SVU being upgradable there by a boat guy, is that still a thing

if it is what do i need? do i just bring the gun and ask him

[terse sun]

wait wtf I clearly remember having an 80%+ aluminum outfit part and I reloaded the game because of something else and now when I want to repair my apocalypse helm this part is gone from my stash?

nvm I'm stupid, moved it to another stash

trololo

[dense cargo]

I keep crashing periodically and unexpectedly. Anyone have insight based on this log?

[shadow sapphire]

How many active mods?

[odd minnow]

I think I may have like, two instances of GAMMA mods because I had to reinstall it, and I kinda wanna save the storage space... How should I delete the first Gamma installation? Maybe that's not the case but i dont believe it should be taking so much storage space.

[knotty storm]

From what I understand, every factions can be nato or warsaw for traders ? Are mercenary/freedom NATO or Warsaw ?

[shadow sapphire]

How much space is it taking?

[buoyant stump]

both NATO

[shadow sapphire]

#│📚manual Lists what each faction is

[odd minnow]

My GAMMA is around 40 gb, and my anomaly folder is like, 47 I think

[dense cargo]

vanilla, 333

[shadow sapphire]

Thats actually about right. They are both 40 on mine

[shadow sapphire]

What are the extra 3 mods?

[odd minnow]

ah i see

guess i gotta delete some other stuff

[shadow sapphire]

Been there my dude, been there

[odd minnow]

thanks bro, you helped me a lot today

[shadow sapphire]

Anytime!

[jagged kettle]

i am having an odd bug i think...i cant reload my gun with r i can only with y?

[shadow sapphire]

What?

How did you even.

Check your keybinds

[jagged kettle]

I did and R for wahtever reason wasnt reload..so i changed it still didnt work so i needed to bring up the ammo wheel to reload.

just died and now R works again

[shadow sapphire]

Glad it works.

[jagged kettle]

same LOL this is tough!

[shadow sapphire]

Are you using mags, and had to rebind to r to start with, and maybe didnt hit apply?

[jagged kettle]

im using a shotgun at the moment

[shadow sapphire]

I meant the mags mod, but honestly that answers my question

[dense cargo]

3? im not sure.. i checked the one for stuttering though

[shadow sapphire]

!modlist

[raw raft]

Send your mod list in this channel, learn how: #╭📖faq message

[jagged kettle]

is there a way to sell guns that are damaged?

[shadow sapphire]

No, you cant sell any guns or armor in gamma

NOR can you buy any

[jagged kettle]

ah

so should i just pick some and repair them to use?

[shadow sapphire]

I would highly recommend reading #│📚manual

You pick some up, you disassemble or field strip others for parts

[jagged kettle]

ah ok ill read that

thanks again!

[plush nova]

Hello, I'm seeking assistance with regard to the 'Teleport Companion' feature. I do know that the hotkey is 'J', however, when I use it in-game my companion doesn't teleport to me -- I'm not sure if I have missed something else that I'm supposed to have done to ensure this operation works as I am brand new to this mod pack and feature. Any assistance would be helpful. Thank you.

[shadow sapphire]

You need to enable the mod in mo2

[cinder saddle]

hey how do geiger counters work in gamma? I noticed there are none in your starting equipment options, and I don't seem to hear any geiger clicks ever? I do take radiation damage though in certain areas

[shadow sapphire]

You BADLY need to update, you risk NPCs disappearing.

[cinder saddle]

oh lol thanks!

oh wait nvm you're not talking to me

[shadow sapphire]

They work effectively the same as vanilla, but buy or craft one. There is also a radiation bar in the bottom left below your body icon

[cinder saddle]

ok so you don't start with one

thank you!

[shadow sapphire]

Nope. And be warned, there are random radiation patches all over the place

[cinder saddle]

learned that one the hard way lol

[terse sun]

and the rad patches MOVE with every emission

so get rekd! (just kidding, but still you will get rekd) 😄

[dense cargo]

What you mean? I updated to 1.5.2 and everything this past week

[shadow sapphire]

We have been getting like an update if not 2 a day for the last week plus

[plush nova]

Thank you.

[buoyant stump]

is there any point in upgrading accuracy past 100%?

[shadow sapphire]

To my knowledge no.

[buoyant stump]

also does it show when hovering over the gun? because i have a SVU with like 93% base and i installed a +10%

but it does not show it there, im assuming its hidden?

[soft niche]

how can i make it where tool kits dont have durability and are unlimited?

[shadow sapphire]

That I am honestly not sure on. Potentially do a reload/save and it might show.

[shadow sapphire]

ask in #🔨modded-gamma-support

[calm temple]

Question, but I saw there is a military questline added in this mod pack. Where would that start by chance?

[shadow sapphire]

The Col whatever dude if you start as mil

[calm temple]

The one at Agropram?

[shadow sapphire]

I am not sure, I honestly murder all military lol

I never check their names...

[calm temple]

I'm starting at the Cordon so right now I am naked with a SKS and backpack to my name. So my first mission is going to even be getting to the guy

[shadow sapphire]

Oof. Good Hunting STALKER.

[buoyant stump]

didn't show actually, im going to further install another upgrade and see

[shadow sapphire]

Honestly though the sks is pretty op you should be fine.

[buoyant stump]

if nothing changes ill assume it's a hidden stat upgrade or not bother with it

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah, I am not sure on that one. Ill test it after I finish fixing my thing since its being added apparently.

[calm temple]

Thanks. I wanted to try it this way, both to get a proper handling of A. a faction I never play and B. A ruleset I am all not too familiar with.

Should be fun!

[plush nova]

I have another question. Today I downloaded the 'Chatty Companion' zip and placed it within my GAMMA downloads folder. Prior to that, I had performed a GAMMA update. My question is that I don't know if it is working, I can't tell and I can't seem to find it in MO2.

[shadow sapphire]

You need to install it in mo2

click the install button

[paper hamlet]

Hello, I noticed that a lot of gameplay I have watched has green lush trees and all of mine in game are dead. I was wondering if their was a way to get that summer appearance I am looking for?

[shadow sapphire]

go to #🤖bot-commands type !deadzone

[paper hamlet]

@shadow sapphire Thank you so much. Having to much fun with this game!

[plush nova]

Thanks again.

[terse hawk]

is there a guide on the limbs system?

[shadow sapphire]

Go to #🤖bot-commands type !heal

[terse hawk]

thanks also why does my guy keep grunting all the time

[shadow sapphire]

Is he injured?

[warm sand]

Hey what the hell is "fun level" in WPO?

[terse hawk]

oh gotcha yea hes injured

[lethal plover]

Is there a key to do the weapon inspect animation?

[buoyant stump]

@shadow sapphire quick update, accuracy upgrades are not flat %, but they add a very marginal amount. a max upgraded SVU with +30% accuracy brings it from 93% to 97%.

[shadow sapphire]

I was wondering about that to be hones

[shadow sapphire]

There is a mod that disables it, disable it in mo2

[buoyant stump]

makes me rethink choosing some accuracy upgrades

[waxen bay]

are there other faction traders that sell nato weapons other than mercs?

[fiery turret]

is there any way to reduce the size of the weapon tooltips ingame?

i have a 1680 x 1050 monitor and can not see the bottom of what things to replace

on a gun

example:

thats from top of screen to bottom

its annoying to go into details everytime

[supple idol]

just a guess but you could try and enable this addon @fiery turret

Its a smaller font which may let you see more in the tooltip there

[fiery turret]

ok thanks

[supple idol]

i think the font looks nicer too

[elfin prism]

question how do you put a mp3 music into pda? i mean theres an option to play your own music instead listening to radio PDA

[unkempt quarry]

so is anyone else having a issue with chatty companions where a companion is just never endingly saying the same thing over and over?

[karmic shore]

I just reinstalled gamma and it feels like theres a lot less npcs? Like I walked into the Freedom base and there where only like 4 people

[minor bone]

Just had another crash when I went to sleep in cordon
1.) Game is vanilla
3.)The location of the files is C:\Anomaly
C:\GAMMA RC3

2.) windows 10

4.) 330 mods activated. VFX particles disabled

[willow hawk]

Depends on the gun

On snipers it’s useless

[buoyant stump]

I'm guessing shotguns and smgs it would be better?

[supple idol]

If you have literally just booted the game I think this is pretty normal, you will have roaming stalkers arrive and camp if you leave the game to run for a while

[willow hawk]

Yea

[worldly ermine]

!245

[waxen bay]

how do i build a base?

[supple idol]

You can buy some base building stuff from vendors, you can also craft everything available

To craft you need a basic toolkit and use that and then go to crafting tab and then therres a hideout section

the base building is extremely limited, you cant place stuff like doors or barricades or anything

You can basically just make some boxes to put your shit in and a crafting bench and some light sources, a radio and a piano, think thats literally it rn, its still a new mod

[pure scarab]

if i pay off the mercs and do tasks for them and get them on good relations, will they leave me alone/

[supple idol]

i believe so yes

but im not sure how that works tbh

I think you can just use a disguise and do quests for them that way

[mystic finch]

I'm testing that chatty companions mod again and they are spamming the same thing over and over again is this intentional?

[supple idol]

Not vanilla @mystic finch

Please provide feedback to Darkasleif in the #╙🖇mods-making-discussion channel

[mystic finch]

I thought it would be part of vanilla since it was in announcements

[supple idol]

yeah a bit confusing but no its not

Its not in gamma by default, if you have it its because you downloaded the file from that announcement and added the mod to MO2

[mystic finch]

yeah ok I unmuted the correct channel and it seems I don't have the latest version may be why I'm encountering problems

[velvet mantle]

is the Dynamic loot only for found stashes? or is it just random loot in random places that you can find?

[supple idol]

if it still happens you can feedback to Darkasleif in that channel I think its a new mod that they are making so maybe has some issues

dynamic loot is just loose loot @velvet mantle I believe

So like random ammo on a table

[mystic finch]

Yeah seems like companions spam way too much will probably suggest a delay between messages

[waxen bay]

do i lose goodwill for other factions if i help out mercs as a loner?

[velvet mantle]

Ah ok, thanks for clarifying

[mystic finch]

If they are enemies yes look on your faction relations in your pda it will tell you what factions are currently enemies with mercs

[north turret]

Is the add-on for the RF Packages working? I don't get any massages for them. I stay in one place for some time. Still nothing.

[magic rivet]

can't find stash at this place, literally checked everywhere, anybody knows where it is, if you encountered it at dead city?

[supple idol]

you can turn on debug and try and noclip to find it

[waxen bay]

where can i find traders that sell nato weapons?

[supple idol]

@waxen bay what faction are you

[waxen bay]

loner

[supple idol]

Freedom and merc sell NATO

Freedom will be best for you

In army warehouses

[waxen bay]

alright

[supple idol]

the base in the south-east

[waxen bay]

do they sell any good armor?

[supple idol]

no, vendors dont sell armor or guns in gamma

[waxen bay]

oh

[supple idol]

and you cant sell any to them eeither

[waxen bay]

i gotta craft them?

[supple idol]

no, you would repair armor you find

[waxen bay]

oh ok

[supple idol]

you cant straight up craft armour or guns

You craft a repair kit and use scavenged parts and a destroyed armour you loot from enemies/stash

!repair

ok got it

[supple idol]

sorry yeah I misread your original question, but to clarify, Freedom will sell NATO attachments/ammo

Vendors sell attachments/ammo just no actual guns or armour

[waxen bay]

ok

[magic rivet]

ok i found the stash, how can i get grid and coords?

[hybrid fern]

so i was following the instructions on #old-framerate-optimisation and I think I broke my game

[supple idol]

what did you change and what happens when you try launch game now

if it crashes it should generate crash log

!crash

[raw raft]

Send your crash log where it was asked, 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.

[hybrid fern]

The game launches fine, but when I try to load a game, it crashes

[supple idol]

What did you modify for framerate optimization?

[hybrid fern]

I didnt get there

was on step 5

[supple idol]

im afraid im not sure what if you start a new game? im pretty shit at reading crash logs

[hybrid fern]

i can try

there was one step i was having difficulty doing

yeah, when i try to make a new game it says, shader compilation failed

[terse hawk]

i heard before that if you accept too many quests from npcs your game will ctd more is that true? should i not accept all the quests i can find?

[supple idol]

idk if thats true, i never had issues with that really

I just accept whatever I want, I sometimes have quite a lot of mutant part handins and stuff

[buoyant stump]

is there a key to drop your gun, give it to a companion or something like that?

somebody mentioned the other day (or was it in youtube video?) that there is a way to lower PDA after you bring it closer for better view... which keybind if for that and where can I find it?

Ping me if you know the answer. Thanks

[supple idol]

press r

that is default anyway, idk if its tied to reload or something but r works for me

[terse hawk]

what is the point of disassembling weapons? is it just to get the barrel? since you can field strip everything else

[supple idol]

I think you get scrap metal too this way but yeah mainly for barrel as you cant field strip that

disassembling can fail for parts though

[terse hawk]

wdym? like you wont get the barrel sometimes?

[supple idol]

at least i know it can for disassembling clothes actually not sure if gun disassemble can destroy parts

[tidal raft]

Reload key.

[supple idol]

yeah i might be wrong on that but clothes work that way

[terse hawk]

yea it works the same wayi just tried and it didnt give me anything on disassembly

[tidal raft]

The safest option is to field strip all and then disassemble for a greater chance to receive the barrel.

[terse hawk]

yea i just hope the multitool is worth it its like 4k

[tidal raft]

It is.

[jaunty horizon]

hello all, I've just started in Corden and I've noticed a strange artifact on my screen, it looks like a very very faint headtorch. It turns on when I look at shadows, I'm trying to get a screen shot but it is very distracting. It looks a lens flare or something of that matter, does anyone know what it is? a lighting bug or something?

[terse hawk]

also where do you get gun parts? you cant restore looted guns right cuz they're always like 10% and the parts repairers are all >50%

[supple idol]

you get good gun parts from guns

If the condition is yellow you can repair it up

yellow will be like dirty trigger mechanism

orange is pretty fucked and irrepairable, red is totally broke part

you can get parts from mechanic traders

they sell random 100% partts for clothes and guns but they are normally quite expensive

[terse hawk]

wow that's gonna be quite the grind

[supple idol]

not really

Sorry I shoulds ay

You can use a repair kit to replace a part too

But it will take a charge of the repair kit

you can riight click maintain parrts and replace trrigger mechanism for example

and that will give you a 100% part but as it consumes a charge of repair kit its quite costly to do this but this can help you get a fully up and running gun easily

its not like its just a hellish grind, so long as you are looting guys and disasseembling/field stripping decent parts and stashing them you will be able to repair stuff fairly easily

[terse hawk]

where do you right click?

[supple idol]

On the gun

make sure you just have inventory open adn not stash not sure if it works there

you will only see the option if you have a suitable repair kit or a cleaning kit

[terse hawk]

hmm im trying to do it with a remington shotgun

and i have the 12ga repair kit

i dont have the "maintain parts" option though just field strip

[supple idol]

you should be able to clean parts with that

can you right click the shotgun

and details

and see what cleaning kits even go with that

like this gun I can see uses 12ga cleaning kitt

you can only clean parts in a gun with a cleaning kit though, and it will only work if part is yellow condition or better so 60% or above

If you haven't seen

!repair

[terse hawk]

this is gonna be interesting... seems more engaging than anomaly's grind for a repair kit/not fubar'd gun tho

[supple idol]

you can right click weapon and use details to see lots of useful info, same with like a weapon part, you can right click details that to see what you can use to repair it

Hello everyone, I might have a problem, so Living Legend is gone from my PDA, and the mission to find Scar is also done for? I went to sleep earlier in game and after waking up it got updated, and now when I try to click on it to locate Scar it won't find him, I assume he died? Is there something I can do? As for Living Legend I had it before, and without realizing it, it went away

[dense pawn]

I'm supposed to get a stash location for every quest right?

[supple idol]

no

you will get a PDA message to say if you have been given a stash loc

There's only a % chance you get one not guarnateed

[ancient laurel]

when it comes to stashes - it seems that all of the stashes i remember the locations of are empty (playing on hard / survivalist), should i just ignore them until i get the cords?

[supple idol]

@ancient laurel yes

[ancient laurel]

makes sense

[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, by reading PDAs that you can find on the bodies of stalkers you kill, you can even threaten wounded stalkers to get them, before you kill them.
You can also buy them from traders, although the location is always random, so it 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 from this specific pool: Basic, Gunsmithing or Drug Making kit. Advanced and Expert are random and depend on the area the stash spawned in.

[ancient laurel]

thank you

i'm desperate for a basic toolkit and started checking the locations i have received the cords for, so far only advanced and gunsmithing tools

[brisk zinc]

!basic

[raw raft]

1. Stashes (white stashes have a chance of having one toolkit from all the available toolkits, green stashes have a 100% chance of finding one toolkit)
2. Go to Spirit in Yantar and bring him vodka
3. Give Hip the gun she's searching

[supple idol]

with advanced you can just make a medium armour repair kit and army rifle repair kit

and skip t1 potentially

[ancient laurel]

thanks for the tip, Falco, i'll check Spirit

[jaunty horizon]

Since Ive only just got in, does Gamma have mag loading like EFT? Or do I need to add that?

[supple idol]

!mags

[raw raft]

In order to properly enable Mags Redux:

1. Enable Mags Redux (Disable G.A.M.M.A. Unjam Reload) (the mod under "Optional")
2. Disable G.A.M.M.A. Unjam Reload on the same key
3. Enable Ammo Check
4. While in game, check your keybinds

KEEP IN MIND that once you enable Mags Redux, you can't disable it. The only safe way to do so, is by loading a save where you don't have the mod enabled or by starting a new game.

[supple idol]

@jaunty horizon not on by default will need to do above

I didnt like playing with mags though

I thought the same that it would be cool because I like it in EFT

But a lot of actions cancel reloading or cancel packing mags, I found it just annoying and slows down game too much

but who asked 😛

[jaunty horizon]

I liked using it in EFP, see how I'll go. Seems like fair gripes for sure ahaha

TY AGAIN ❤️

[supple idol]

@jaunty horizon you may want to enable this if you are going to play with mags just so you can get some from trader if needed

[minor bone]

been seeing a lot of streamers lately use console to save. Is there a specific reason for this?

i cant get my repaired gun from technician in cordon, he says that my gun is ready but i dont have it in eq

what should i do

[ancient laurel]

YES!

[minor bone]

Nice

[carmine wyvern]

Because they might be too lazy find Campfires

OR they have a Bug that requires a restart

oh

he wont repair the parts of the gun, only the over all gun condition

I never used the Binos, sorry :(

[brisk zinc]

Read again, this time it's different I believe

thats cool no worries. Like I want to remove the shader driven scopes because when I dont have the addon, the binoculars are nice and clear: I just really like the addon and have been trying to find a solution online for a few days now 😦

[grand cave]

i know but still i want my gun back

[graceful iron]

wait, he took the gun ?

[brisk zinc]

Yeah it's different, told you

He used the delayed repair thing

I told you that the thing is bugged some time ago

you can easily get wood other ways

general vendors sell firewood

which disassemble into wood

[jagged kettle]

For the fast travel system, I have it set to every hour but it seems like I can't fast travel even after that hour? Am i missing something? Is it in game hour?

[solemn fractal]

companions won't fast travel with you unless it's to other areas of the map, IE from cordon to garbage @gritty minnow

you can try your luck with a companion teleport mod but it doesnt work with fast travel in mind

yeah its a huge camp but just in case it helps 🙂

[gritty minnow]

Hmmm been doing missions for them but my relation doesn't seem to be going up

[cunning hinge]

its really slow

it goes up but really slow

[glass valve]

Question, Im just starting out and none of the mags or shotguns have any ammo to unload when looting enemies. Is this normal or is something up?

[graceful iron]

doing missions for important characters gives more goodwill

[gritty minnow]

Ohhhh I see, well i'm not complaining, roubles are pretty high payouts :3

[graceful iron]

all guns are unloaded by default when looting them

[cunning hinge]

i think its normal. haven't found a loaded gun yet either

[torn totem]

i been playing for couple of days now, everything works very well when it comes to gameplay(gunplay, AI fixes, graphics etc.) I never experienced any crash even after changing some mod values or adding other mods like mags redux. But game really struggling with some random lag from time to time, its very annoying when fights occur, I already enabled "Turn this on if you stutter" in "Overwrite" category in Mod Organizer but it still happen alot, anyone have some idea what causes this?

[gloomy crane]

my game crash everytime when im trying to let him sleep

[graceful iron]

deleted 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.

[glass valve]

Ok cool, thanks for the quick reply 🙂

[cunning hinge]

i didn't delete anything. Or are you telling me to delete it?

[graceful iron]

yes, delete it

what caused the error to happen? changed anything ?

[cunning hinge]

ok where do i find it lol

[cunning hinge]

changed nothing shader related

[gloomy crane]

idk it only closed without a error messages

[graceful iron]

i used the bot command to tell you where to find it

[supple idol]

you can have big stutter when opening inventory if you have a lot of shit, same with opening stash with lots of things, otherwise it is normally related to NPCs spawning in I think

[cunning hinge]

oh didn't see sorry

[graceful iron]

!crash

[raw raft]

Send your crash log where it was asked, 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.

[graceful iron]

post your log

[gloomy crane]

it doesnt give a log

just close autmaticly

[graceful iron]

the log is created everytime you play the game

even if the crash doesnt give you an error

check in anomaly/appdata/logs

[torn totem]

ohh I see, so basically game can load NPC in far distance and it causes the lag? I only get this when running around basically, exploring. Only from time to time when getting quest rewards for example but i dont mind much about that, problem is this lag when running around and randomly getting shot after lag finish.

[gloomy crane]

ah oh i look

[supple idol]

@torn totem yeah it seems like that, I get big freeze sometimes midway through cordon where I assume its loadiing in NPCs in the "reality bubble"

But it doesnt happen too often for me really, not sure how bad it is for you

Not sure what you can do to make it much bettter

[torn totem]

Thank you alot for explaining, I guess im gonna just get used to it. For me it depends on the place where im wandering around basically, I noticed it happen more often when I know there is many NPCs around like on swamps, I struggle a bit because of that and turned some difficulty down because of that.

[supple idol]

no worries, I think its more likely to happen on maps where you have a lot of quests as that will just spawn in even more NPCs

[torn totem]

Yeah it seems like it, im still happy that entire game works great and this is just small detail I think more related to game engine itself.

[cunning hinge]

@graceful iron thank you it seems to have worked

[gritty minnow]

Does the game really have bad microstuttering? 😦

[graceful iron]

did you try the core 0 affinity method ? at least the manual one to see if it helps #old-framerate-optimisation

[graceful iron]

not on all pcs and not in every map

[torn totem]

I will try this out, thanks

[gritty minnow]

Hmmm i'll give this 0 affinity a try, maybe my fps and microstuttering will stabilize if I do it

Sorry @graceful iron , what does "one timer" mean?

[torn totem]

Do you have this micro-stuttering on every map?

[gritty minnow]

Yes I do actually, specially when running around

[torn totem]

I have some of this micro-stuttering but only around swamps area, I belive its just because of graphics enchants.

ohhh, thats bad.

you tried locking fps?

[gritty minnow]

It's like the game is loading stuff too late, thing is my game is on my SSD and my processer is a ryzen 5 3600

Yep I have actually at 144, though I never really get that high

[torn totem]

and you turned off vsync?

i have same 144fps and vsync off, and these stutters are barely noticeable

[gritty minnow]

Yep got vsync off

Tbh no idea what's causing the stutters

[torn totem]

I just like to think that engine is old enough and all mods makes it struggle alot lol

and ignore it mostly, but if your stutters are big I seriously dont know

[grand cave]

why are my artefacts dissapearing

im talking about the non radioactive ones

like lamp or dragons eye

[torn totem]

efficiency maybe?

[gritty minnow]

Hmmm I think my game smoothened out after I disabled my Core 0 for gamma, is there a reason as to why this is effective?

[torn totem]

I think its related to OS using some

im seriously not sure

but yeah i did what okay_cat told me to and so far i experience no heavy stutter at all, damn

[graceful iron]

the "one timer" method is a manual one, you have to do it everytime you start the game

[grizzled raven]

they decay

if you use them for too long they just go poof

[graceful iron]

none radioactive artefacts will degrade while worn

you can feed them other junk artefacts to keep them powered using the melter

[torn totem]

thank you alot @graceful iron i run entire Cordon and experience no single lag because of this Core method.

[graceful iron]

you can see #╭📖faq for the automated method. type !troublecore in #🤖bot-commands

you can

the most basic way of healing a leg would be using a bandage and then ibuprofen

[deep crypt]

even if it has 0 hp?

[graceful iron]

yes

[supple idol]

or just pay a medic 1850 roubles

[torn totem]

some meds are first-aid and others are post-heals, i ignored this at start of the game but its very important.

[supple idol]

Is actually the most effective way if they are nearby

[deep crypt]

okay, yellow is timed hp, white is permanent

i need to get yellow hp, then make it white

right?

[supple idol]

yes

that is exactly right

[torn totem]

exactly

[deep crypt]

yep, that worked, thx

[supple idol]

also protip when you mouse over a post med item like fentanyl or yadulin, it will show you what will be healed in the bottom-left

So you can see exactly what post heal you gonna get when you use it

[supple idol]

not sure if its documented but I can tell you

left there is increase stam regen

right there is damage reduction

damage reduction you get from some medical items like morphine

energy regen is from glucose shots and energy drinks

okay thx, i also need help with fasttravel and item repairs. firstly, how do i fasttravel? i've seen settings for it but don't understand how it works and what should i do to fasttravel. secondly, i see that armor and weapons can't be traded. so how do i get a gun except using google and scroll through stash locations with good shit?

you can travel with some NPCs who offer t o take you to places, or you can riight click a place on your map in your PDA to fast travel

To get armour/weapons you need to repair stuff

[supple idol]

Also you cannot just loot random stashes, you need to go to marked stashes

!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, by reading PDAs that you can find on the bodies of stalkers you kill, you can even threaten wounded stalkers to get them, before you kill them.
You can also buy them from traders, although the location is always random, so it 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 from this specific pool: Basic, Gunsmithing or Drug Making kit. Advanced and Expert are random and depend on the area the stash spawned in.

[gritty minnow]

Any tips to be able to craft ammo more constantly?

[torn totem]

i better find the second basic toolkit instead of giving away my first basic one, it seems very important.

[deep crypt]

shits hard, but seems interesting

[supple idol]

not much you can do extra besides disassembling ammo you dont need

[north turret]

What mods do I need to disable to get a more vanilla like traders that stock weapons and armor? thanks

[supple idol]

some ammo share the same materials so you can disassemble a caliber you never use to get rifle round materials and make some ammo with caliber you use

[gritty minnow]

Thank you for the tip HAHAHAAH

[supple idol]

nice 🙂 thats a lot of ammo you have now

[magic rivet]

Are stashes completely safe to keep items in? Or still there is a chance for it to be looted?

[supple idol]

yep any stash you can put your stuff in

0 chance it will be looted

[magic rivet]

Cheers

[supple idol]

and if a stash you are using is marked and loot added then it will just be added on top of whatever is in, it doesnt delete

[magic rivet]

Finally can hide all the shit and ASh-12

[supple idol]

so 100% safe

[grand cave]

is there any way to noclip through my companions?

maybe some addon

[supple idol]

you can turn on debug

then use numpad 0

and press main enter underneath backspace to spawn on camera location

[grand cave]

ok thanks

and i have another question

are companions using ammo that im putting into their inventories?

[supple idol]

i believe they have infinite ammo

and wont use ammo you give them but not sure i dont play with companions

[torn totem]

this might be stupid question, but does these little blue metal boxes counts as normal boxes for achievement?

[supple idol]

i dont think so

your PDA says how many boxes you smashed in statisticcs tab

so you can go test and find out 🙂

Is there any particular reason why I was told the other day to avoid wearing the Ghillie suit? Is it bugged in some way?

[supple idol]

i dont see why you would wear a ghillie suit

it has shit stats and i dont think it affects how enemies can see you

[versed tusk]

ghilli is just drip, thats all

no stats or benefits

[merry agate]

on my pc it is 53,8 GB, but i have german translation on it, but thats not very big.

[versed tusk]

you are using the wrong stove. multi-fuel stove needs, as the name suggests, fuel like kerosine or gasoline

[supple idol]

Combined 54GB

[supple idol]

drip that you cant even see because you're playing a FPS nice xd

I mean you can toggle third person to look at yourself in your bush suit I guess

[versed tusk]

ye... nah

[deep crypt]

no flammables?

[versed tusk]

i would def. repair one if stealth stats could be changed with it, but stealth is hit or miss anyways in stalker

[deep crypt]

im also new so can be mistaken

[versed tusk]

i answered alrdy - its a multi fuel stove

needs fuel

the small blue ones work at bonfires

[cunning hinge]

Shit and i bought charcoal for it lol

[grizzled hornet]

what am i supposed to do?

idk who the man is

[versed tusk]

get a RF receiver

[supple idol]

ignore him

[versed tusk]

farm enough goodwill

[grizzled hornet]

i do have a rf reciever

[supple idol]

thats what I do

if you trry equip

they should tell you a map and a freq

then you can play hot/cold game and find some loot

it beeps faster as u get closer

[grizzled hornet]

OOoo intresting

[versed tusk]

once you have enough goodwill, they send you a map location and the frequency. you can then start looking for those packages. only worth if its on your way tbh

it can be rly solid loot, and some are just... meh

[grizzled hornet]

got it.

[supple idol]

isnt it like same loot as a white stash location?

or did u notice much difference?

[versed tusk]

it's different

[supple idol]

Hmm okay I maybe need to try and do some

[versed tusk]

best I found was a ton of meds in one + rly good ammo

some are repair items

[grizzled hornet]

ill try to do it then

[versed tusk]

you will either hate them or love them

[grizzled hornet]

yeah umm do i need try to find the dude?

[versed tusk]

nah

[grizzled hornet]

to like get the mark or something

[versed tusk]

usually you can equip the rf receiver and use it - then it takes a bit to receive the messages

[grizzled hornet]

oh ok

[versed tusk]

its also random where they send you

but. it. never. stops.

[median lagoon]

I was doing this quest and after storming the base and clearing out it ended like this. No follow up or marker, seems strange. Is there a followup or it's how it ends?

I guess it is by looking inside the new storylines addon

[gusty lintel]

I saw something about building in this gamma mod, is there any way I can craft/place a stash box?

[carmine wyvern]

What exactly are the Benefits of Disabling Core 0?

And when should I consider using it?

[median lagoon]

you can craft base building stuff from the craft menu, alternatively some traders sell the same furnitures like boxes, gun cases, lamps etc

[versed tusk]

Stalker does not run well on some CPUs whn it uses the same core as the OS

i run the 0core thingy and barely noticed any difference

so if it runs fine, i would not bother

[gritty minnow]

Christ been trying to find an expert tool kit and having no luck xD

[shadow sapphire]

Where are you looking?

[boreal jewel]

Might give the Ghillie Suit Overhaul a try (makes it equipable over other outfits in the backpack slot, custom detection, etc)

[gritty minnow]

Any green stashes

[shadow sapphire]

In which maps?

[gritty minnow]

Right now looking in darkscape

[shadow sapphire]

Wont find them south of read forest

[versed tusk]

Red Forest and beyond north my guy

[shadow sapphire]

Mornign skom

[versed tusk]

Hi Larkin

Still at work but will try to help

[shadow sapphire]

Shoot, 90% of the time im here im at work lol

[versed tusk]

same tho - just today is busy and my focus needs to be ON the content

[gritty minnow]

Where is red forest? 😮

[shadow sapphire]

Ha, yeah I get that. Busy days are difficult

[shadow sapphire]

Its just north of army warehouses

[versed tusk]

north of AW indeed

[shadow sapphire]

Expert tools are pretty much gated behind dropping brain scorcher

[carmine wyvern]

You will have fun there

You can get Experts w/o BS

[lusty crown]

Hi, small question, does it does anything if I enable dynamic faction relations ?

[carmine wyvern]

Yes

It makes the game harder

[lusty crown]

(Exept, having faction relations dynamic)

[carmine wyvern]

Cuz if you kill too much x you can be at war with an important Faction

[lusty crown]

I mean, can it break anything because of the mods or anything

[versed tusk]

you could be Eco and at war with everyone

[carmine wyvern]

No

[lusty crown]

[carmine wyvern]

Its not recommended by Grok but I always play with it

[unborn radish]

how much psy resistance is needed to survive the apparations created by the miracle machine? i thought i saw 60% somewhere but have no idea how to get that high

[carmine wyvern]

I didnt notice anything off

[lusty crown]

Alright, it's just temporary anyway, I wanna be friends with the mercs cause I find it funny to be the only loner that is friend with the mercs

[carmine wyvern]

A 23% Stoneflower is more than enough

[lusty crown]

and because MONEY

[shadow sapphire]

Ooof, yeah its deffo NOT 60

[unborn radish]

excellent, thanks

[unborn radish]

yeah that seemed a little off lol

[shadow sapphire]

I also went in with a low grade stoneflower

Only issue with that is the "mini boss" right after the machine. But you can save anywhere underground, and with a low grade stoneflower you can survive two hits from him, 3rd will get you.

[gritty minnow]

Hmmm so expert tools can only be found in a green stash in red forest and beyond, is that right?

[graceful rover]

any stash

[versed tusk]

I just wore an ok helmet and smoked weed for psy res - just shoot the ghosts with a pistol

[shadow sapphire]

Sorta, Any stash in the north can have them.

[versed tusk]

any stash, but green is guaranteed a toolkit from the toolkit pool

[unborn radish]

the outside was fine but once i got into x16 the apparations started coming up straight through the ground leaving me no chance to shoot them

[gritty minnow]

Ohhh got this, thank you everyone!

[shadow sapphire]

Which doesnt include expert lul.

[versed tusk]

nope

[versed tusk]

they loooove to hide in the toilets while spamming you climbing down the elevators. stupid snork effers

[shadow sapphire]

To my knowledge, and the way the manual is written, greens vs white really make no difference for expert tools.

[shadow sapphire]

That is very strange.

[unborn radish]

they also ignore gravity outside, so the zombie apparations were just walking through the air to get to my vantage point

[supple idol]

That doeesnt sound so strange, I have had the same where I guess monsteers are aggro'd on me but were like beneath me

and them having noclip is intentional

they are apparations

[shadow sapphire]

o.0? I do not have that

[supple idol]

they dont weigh anything

[unborn radish]

okay good to know

[shadow sapphire]

None of my x16s have had them come through the floor like that. I got phantoms in the scripted room, and then at the machine itself.

[versed tusk]

they spammed me and came through walls/floors inside the elevators

[supple idol]

you can tank a lot of them with psy drugs and a bit of weed

[shadow sapphire]

Huh, guess I am just lucky lol

[versed tusk]

i got MM down tho these days - even plant a claymore for the bloodsucker at the start.

[supple idol]

thanks btw @shadow sapphire I found a post from you to fix Phantoms on the Dark quest hehe

[shadow sapphire]

Glad it helped

[unborn radish]

i have the calibrated helmet, ~10% psy resist on my armor, psy-block, and weed, and my guy still decided to fucking end his life after being touched by two ghosts

[supple idol]

what a poussy

just smoke more weed haha 420

I did laugh out loud

When I checked duration of weed

and it was 420

I was like haha thats the weed number

[unborn radish]

hah didn't even notice that

[gritty minnow]

I'm getting the notif in red forest for dangerous psy-levels...

[supple idol]

yes you need psy helmet

[gritty minnow]

Is that bad?

[supple idol]

you cant go there ur guy will blow their brains out

[gritty minnow]

Where in the world will I get that

[supple idol]

in yantar

from sakharov or whatever hes called

[unborn radish]

he's such a massive child. baby wants psyblock. baby's thirsty from taking psyblock. baby needs rad resistance. baby's hungry from taking rad resistance pills. baby's sleepy now

[supple idol]

bring 30k roubles

[shadow sapphire]

XD

[versed tusk]

[supple idol]

@gritty minnow in yantar in the south you will see a science hut thing in middle of a little camp, sakharov is in there

[gritty minnow]

Ohhhh, imma make my way over there then

Thank you @supple idol !

[supple idol]

no problem

[sturdy thicket]

any way i can bind a key to inspect my gun?

[grand cave]

is there any way to take down military helicopter?

[edgy echo]

I know theres that mod in the load order called "Inspect on double tap F disabler". Must be for a good reason but try disabling it

[graceful iron]

its fine. it was disabled since some people had issues with that specific bind with mags redux

you can disable the addon safely

[deep crypt]

what can i do with artifacts? they re all broken to 20% and i cant sell them

[brisk zinc]

Use them to create better artefacts

[deep crypt]

how?

maybe a video guide to artifacts?

[versed tusk]

#│📚manual the section for artefacts or ingame PDA

[deep crypt]

oh yeah thx

[sturdy thicket]

yeah i tried that but i stll couldnt inspect anything

[brisk zinc]

Some weapons don't have an animation for it, hence no inspection

You can enable something in WPO, in MCM settings when you're in game, just to see the text

[sturdy thicket]

oh okay thank you

[north turret]

My game keeps crashing on startup anyone know what's wrong?

[supple idol]

Yes you have 1.5.1

!152

[raw raft]

In order to update your Anomaly 1.5.1 to 1.5.2, follow this:

1. Download the 1.5.2 update: (https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/downloads/stalker-anomaly-151-to-152)
2. Extract the update into the root of your Anomaly folder
3. Overwrite everything when asked to do so
4. Open the installer with admin rights
5. Click on Update GAMMA data -> Full GAMMA Installation

[gritty minnow]

Hmmm Freedom faction doesn't seem to be going up in relation

Been doing missions for them for quite some time now

They're still at neutral

[supple idol]

you should be getting goodwill

its in the top row

You will see goodwill on the left and in the top columns each faction

[graceful iron]

relation doesnt change, you get goodwill with factions for doing quests for them

[gritty minnow]

Ohhhh

Goodwill is basically the loner faction right?

[supple idol]

no

[vernal wharf]

where mutants spawn rate increased? I feel like i encounter a lot of them, in bigger packs too

[median lagoon]

I dont't understand this line from the #📢development channel - "Anomalies map drop from NPC: non-accessible Zone is now viable in GAMMA"

[supple idol]

goodwill is the individual goodwill a faction has towards you personally

i believe.

[brisk zinc]

GAMMA by default have the Zone completely open

You can go wherever you want

[gritty minnow]

Makes sense

Now I know exactly where to look for it xD

Thank you xD

[brisk zinc]

You can avoid to have the Zone completely open, in order to go from A to B, you need maps

Without maps, you can't go, for example, to Red Forest

You need the map to go from (again, for example) Army Warehouse to Red Forest

[median lagoon]

ok, I have always used non accessible zones from the start. I bought access from traders. So now there are maps too?

[brisk zinc]

Yes, from what I understand

[supple idol]

there was always maps

[median lagoon]

well that's good

[supple idol]

they were just like 3% drop

or something lower

drop is buffed big time

[median lagoon]

I think I got sometimes access to a map from stalkers pda

[supple idol]

only from military i believe

[wicked blade]

Which component mods (if not all) of "DLTX Minimodpack - Demonized" does gamma contain?

[shrewd blaze]

Question regarding repairing weapon parts: If a part is under 60% durability, is it essentially junk and not worth repairing unless you want to spend a whole bunch of rubles on Part Repair Kits?

[versed tusk]

you can maintain parts by spending one charge of a repair kit

[supple idol]

yeah

well that just replaces the part

[versed tusk]

but its an expensive way of doing it and if you spend all charges, you need a new one

[supple idol]

and i dont think you need a part to replace with a repair kit

[versed tusk]

no, you dnt, just pointing out that if you miss one part - thats a way

[supple idol]

like can you strip a trigger mechanism and still replace it with a repair kit?

okey

[versed tusk]

otherwise not worth the money

[shrewd blaze]

seems like part repair kits are good only then if youre trying to fix up a really fancy expensive gun

not worth seeking them out early game to clean up a pump action

[supple idol]

I think its more useful for armour

with guns you can just replace components with a normal repair kit

[shrewd blaze]

👀 oh word?

[supple idol]

yeah, but uh I havent found the part repair kit very useful ever, you cant get one easily

I think you can buy it from mechanics after you give them an advanced toolkit?

or technicinas whatever they are called

and they are like 50k

[gritty minnow]

How do you rank up in your faction?

[supple idol]

do quests and get goodwill

[native cliff]

Yeah you can check your rep in your pda

2000 = everything unlocked iirc

[supple idol]

ye its just the top row u need to look at

[gritty minnow]

Ohhh by rank I mean the rank in the inventory, seargant, trainee

The one beside your character portrait in your inventory

[supple idol]

you go up rank by doing quests and killing stalkers

and mutants

its not something to really worry about, you will be legend if you complete the story pretty much

and its doesnt make any difference what rank you are as far as im aware
