Im a merc with like 3 kill contracts in Rostok. Even for targets not inside the bar, if i set 30sec fuse on an bomb, it doest seem to explode if i get toof far away like near the guard checkpoins

[uneven ocean]

I legit went through hell getting here but on the way I found a toolkit thing and a Weapon toolit so now I got 2 crafting item

Should I keep doing the quests in rookie camp until I finish them all pretty much?

it seems pretty easy

[shadow sapphire]

My assumption would be you're crossing smart terrain boundaries which is basically put it in "offline" mode where the stuff is being tracked but not actually happening. I could be very very wrong about this though.

[pseudo salmon]

makes sense. ill try a different exit. bombs dont seem to explode when i pass the "Get out of here stalker" duty catwalk guard

[shadow sapphire]

So there is technically no end to the quests. I would say to do those quests while you get a hang for the game and build up supplies. You probably want to hit goodwill 2000 too so that you have all the items available to buy

[wooden zodiac]

What is the mod that enables the artifacts to degrade? I want to disable it in mo2

[shadow sapphire]

Hmmm

[shadow sapphire]

Ok so you can't just disable artifacts mods in gamma as they are tied into balance and crafting. Only the perk artifacts degrade. If you are set on this path try asking in #🔨modded-gamma-support

[uneven ocean]

Okay sounds good

[verbal lynx]

Same.
After the latest updates - a lot of things have gotten a lot slower and there are stutters.
Shift clicking to move has gotten laggy, and saving/loading, transitioning to new areas have all gotten significantly longer.
I posted about this earlier but didn't get a response. Hopefully there are more who can chime in to give feedback so that this gets addressed.

[shadow sapphire]

Do me a favor, tell me what no_ram_textures is set to in your user.ltx

I'll be honest I'm not having any performance issues.

[brisk zinc]

@terse sun the Shift thing most of the time is because you have a lot of stuff in that particular stash or maybe you have many favorites in your inventory

Updating GAMMA bring everything to default and my advice is the same, as you already know, do all those changes we made last time, settings and the no RAM thing
I always do this and every time I fix everything

[terse sun]

I always make sure to fix the texture ram thing after updates, but for some weird reason (and everytime I did updates except for this last one today) I updated gamma data + full installation and it runs slower and saggier.

It's even so weird that with the exact same graphic settings as before, I used to be able to run HBAO@high + all of the gamma shaders with 60+fps, now I could barely see 45, totally mystical

[verbal lynx]

Thank you @shadow sapphire @brisk zinc - Let me check. It's a clean install as I did a full wipe and re-install, but I've never changed the RAM figures before.
And maybe the performance issues are isolated cases, as it seems no one else is mentioning them.

[terse sun]

it would seem so (the latter sentence) - what bugs me though is that I haven't touched a thing and keep everything exactly the same and my performance kinda got down considerably

[brisk zinc]

I had those problems as well, after a full install

But after a while the game runned smoothly

[shadow sapphire]

To be clear, I want it to run smoothly for you guys, and I'm more than willing to spend my time trying things. That said we do also have to remember that Grok didn't make anomaly. We are running 330 mods onto an engine old enough that hilariously I can actually read the code for it and younger more modern coders and modders struggle with it. It's literally one old language with a newer script written on it and then Lua scripts on top. The fact that this doesn't crash at least once every few hours is insane. We will try to help yall tweak stuff, and I am sure grok wants it to play like a aaa game. But we do need to ground our expectations in reality and not be too surprised when it acts up.

[verbal lynx]

"no ram textures" is set to OFF
Should I change to on?

[shadow sapphire]

Try it see if there is a difference

[brisk zinc]

At this point I believe there is something that every time you update, gets deleted
And the more you play, the more this thing keep stuff in it, and makes the game more smooth

I'm probably reading too much into It but it's really the only thing that I can think of

[verbal lynx]

Totally understand - and appreciate that you're going out of your way to volunteer your time.

[terse sun]

that's completely understandable, for me it's more about my natural curiosity to ask about these things for maybe a potential answer. I am completely aware though that the engine is basically a commodore lmao

[shadow sapphire]

Honestly I would more guess the fact that it's running through three languages to do what you tell it probably causes just small issues and builds up over time if that makes sense.

[brisk zinc]

I suppose it's also a miracle the game runs with three languages

[shadow sapphire]

Hey now, I'm not that old lol. But yeah I know you guys aren't harping, I just don't want you to expect cake when all we have sometimes are cupcakes.

[shadow sapphire]

It's literally a language that fell out of style like 15 years ago to python to Lua lol

Now that we set expectations. I'm assuming your stashes are near campfires?

[terse sun]

well safe to say, gamma is by far the most stable modpack I ever tried, and I've played bare anomaly, dark signal, efp, dead air etc.

btw my stashes are all stationed in rostok, right near the repair guy

[gritty minnow]

Question regarding the EOTS-62 scope, does this really have a target detection system? Or is it just flavor text?

[shadow sapphire]

Bruh most stable mod pack in any game. Literally runs better than some developed games. Less bugs then Bethesda that's for sure.

[terse sun]

I don't even think bugthesda is open for discussion lmao

[shadow sapphire]

If you have Nvidia you can turn on triple buffering in the control panel that literally fixed my campfire stutters I had

[terse sun]

neat, trying this asap!

[shadow sapphire]

And if it works thank grok he randomly said it one day and it legit stopped most of mine. If that doesn't work there are a couple other things we can talk about, but you've probably tried them all.

[terse sun]

I tried it and so far in rostok, actually the campfire stuttering indeed seems to have stopped, I have also noticed I didn't have "prefer maximum performance" under power management settings

hey btw what's the deal with semenov - I tried reloading many times now and all of a sudden he just vanishes, stops being my companion and the quests updates or something

[verbal lynx]

Unfortunately, doesn't seem to have improved anything.
Quick saves seem a tad faster? Usually over 20 seconds, but this time was under 20 - though they used to be instant.
Shift-transferred from companion's inventory to mine - and still laggy/stutters.

You mentioned settings that you always change on an update. What other changes are suggested other than the ram one?
If it has already been written down somewhere on discord, I can just go there and read up on it so that you don't have to spell it out again.

[shadow sapphire]

... please tell me you don't have safe area transition enabled.

[terse sun]

I have completely vanilla mods enabled, didn't change a thing

so no idea really

though he vanished while I was repairing my remington rifle, just now 😮

deep inside rostok

[shadow sapphire]

If you have Nvidia triple buffering on, roadsides lens flares off, turn this on if you stutter on, everything else default.

[shadow sapphire]

Seriously check to see if that mod is enabled

It was default for awhile

[verbal lynx]

Ah I have an AMD card. I think I recall reading somewhere that there are some known issues with them?

[terse sun]

hmm it's disabled under gamma disabled

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah go to #🤖bot-commands type !amd

[shadow sapphire]

Ok good, then he's just doing some xray stuff.

[terse sun]

what's weird is that I don't fail the mission, it just updates and he is supposed to be in rostok (pda says so) but nowhere to be found

[shadow sapphire]

Thats super weird...

[terse sun]

hmm I think I'm just gonna take him back to yantar and be done with the mission once and for all lol

lol what

so get this

I waited now for semenov to disappear from my companions list again and he was in front of me - talked to him and completed the mission - in rostok

so he kinda got the samples mailed to him or something

[sleek delta]

What's the mod that adds the Last dawn questline, and the artefact hunting questline?

[shadow sapphire]

Xray at least it saved you a trip this time instead of killing a save lol

[terse sun]

true that 😄

[soft niche]

@shadow sapphire how do i spawn items in, this basic tool hunt is starting to get to me, wanna spawn a few in so i can make a advanced one

[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

[brisk zinc]

Or use debug mode

!debug

[raw raft]

How to enable debug mode: #╭📖faq message

[opal relic]

Advanced kits spawn around places like Rostock/Army Warehouse and expert tools Red forest onwards.

[soft niche]

where can i find advanced tools at rostock?

also, where can i find bits of wood? need to craft some storage boxes but have no idea where to get wood

[terse sun]

usually by disassembling shovels

at least that's how I get them and I've got plenty

[shrewd basin]

I could use some help, I've tried setting easyhealing to true for Body Health System, but so far it's still requiring me to use post-healing items to keep permanent health. Am I missing something simple?

I like the body health system, but just want to dumb it down a bit for my first couple of runs in Gamma

[verbal lynx]

I'm getting conflicting suggestions for AMD users -
The post from Falco says to "enable DPI overrule"
The post from GROK says to "disable DPI overwrite"

Also, can't seem to figure out what is meant by DPI overrule/overwrite.
There's a checkbox for Program DPI which overrides system settings and uses the program's, and one for Override high DPI scaling behavior which I can set for either the application or system. Do I check both? And set to the application?

[shadow sapphire]

To be honest I'm not sure, but my rule is if Grok stated to do one thing listen to the guy who made the mod pack. No offense to Falco at all, I have learned quite a bit from them.

[verbal lynx]

Got it! Appreciate all the feedback

[grim wadi]

Question how do you even place furtniture

I right clicked and no option for use appears. Got all 330 mods

Its also appearing as this

[shadow sapphire]

Go to your gamma folder then to groks installer then gamma and tell me what the version .txt says

[grim wadi]

Here you go

602

[shadow sapphire]

Interesting, you are mostly updated. Which item is that?

[grim wadi]

All

Its only for some reason hideout addons

[shadow sapphire]

Ok do this -> Run installer as admin -> update GAMMA data -> Full GAMMA Install. It will get you to latest version, and force a reinstall of that mod.

[grim wadi]

Running it

I do have a feeling theres probably some issue with this as a install set up

[lyric steeple]

any glaring issues this update @shadow sapphire

[shadow sapphire]

If you mean that mod, yes it did not install properly.

[lyric steeple]

or is it pretty solid today?

[grim wadi]

Im tempted to crack mo2 see if it shows a "no file" error

[shadow sapphire]

Grok accidentally removed the icon for metal bottle when he made it help with psy resist (Yes drinking vodka to help with psy) but that should be fixed in a couple hours and no issues.

[lyric steeple]

kick ass! 🙂

[shadow sapphire]

You can open the ufovs files those are the mo2 logs. It will show the watch window output on the bottom of mo2 bur without opening it.

[shadow sapphire]

What version are you on right now?

[lyric steeple]

604

thats what in version.txt in grok modpack installer

[grim wadi]

Took a look and its only got a gamedata folder no textures folder so i aint sure whats going on with it

[shadow sapphire]

Ah so no super big changes other than vodka, a bit of tweak on emissions and a couple other small changes to meds and stuff

[lyric steeple]

++

love to see it

[shadow sapphire]

That would be why. Basically sometimes with the installer you can occasionally have an issue where the extract doesn't work properly and you end up not getting all the files. Rare but it happens.

[grim wadi]

Well its going to say the least

[shadow sapphire]

Oh wait... I lied. Major balance changes around ammo cost hydroshock 20% more expensive at butcher, and 9x39 cheaper for ap rounds at all traders, plus some other stuff

[terse sun]

this may be just me but the speed of an emission might be just a tad too fast now, it happens so quick it's almost impossible sometimes to get to the shelter in time

[shadow sapphire]

Remind me, you updated today right?

[terse sun]

yeah

[calm temple]

A question. I picked up the military quest to go into a location labeled the "Agroporam research institute dungeon." Is this a new area or are they referring to the underground?

[shadow sapphire]

Probably put that in feedback I know grok has been tweaking emissions.

[shadow sapphire]

Should be the lower parts of agro underground I believe. Not the hideout one but the ones further down. Could be wrong though.

[calm temple]

Ok. I was confused because when I accepted the quest it did not automatically unlock the path to the underground like the other routes do, so I was wondering if I was doing something wrong.

[shadow sapphire]

Just a warning I could be wrong, I don't work for mil I hunt them.

[terse sun]

interesting observation from my side - turning "threaded optimization" off in nvidia control panel completely bricks gamma - as in, the quests stop tracking, loading saves cause CTD etc.

for those interested or trying to tinker with this

(was fiddling around with control panel settings to see if it affects the performance in some way)

[shadow sapphire]

Oof

[grim wadi]

Thanks now its working

[lyric steeple]

um... why did my guy just, open his PDA, turn on some music, start bobbing his head for like 30 seconds. then open the PDA and turn the music off...

[uneven ocean]

Do those little metal containers have anything like can I break them or something? I see them sometimes and don't know

[lyric steeple]

sometimes. you can knife them like the dark grey boxes

[uneven ocean]

are they one hit? or a few

[lyric steeple]

just one

[uneven ocean]

hmm okay

[waxen bay]

Is there a SIG MCX in gamma?

[tribal plover]

Mmm, is there a way still to save your mcm settings after update?

[willow hawk]

no

[deep crypt]

where the fuck can i find weapon repair kits? 10 hours into gamma still running obrez that i took at the start of the game

[graceful rover]

you find toolkits in stashes and make them. or buy them from techs

[deep crypt]

in stashes there are only some trash

techs dont sell it

because reputation with techs doesnt go higher

[willow hawk]

get toolkits

basic, advanced, expert...

then craft repair kits with them

also, you can repair guns by swapping parts and cleaning barrels >60%

!apart

[raw raft]

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

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

[willow hawk]

it's in the manual

in your PDA

which you are told to check when starting the game for the first time

[deep crypt]

i start to think that im going to complete the game sooner than ill repair a gun
to swap parts i need to get some repair kit to take parts in and out and also i need a workbench, to get a toolkit i need to find some superrare trash that i have not seen once (gun lube x4?)

seems broken tbh

[deep crypt]

ive read it, nothing useful

ive seen crafts for weapon kits and its impossible to get cause ive never seen these "barter items", for example gun lube

[waxen bay]

if i get maximal good will am i able to ask anyone to join me in that faction?

[willow hawk]

Did you atleast take a look at the links I sent above ?

[willow hawk]

it's for sale at mechanics

Also, as I said, toolkits are in stashes

[deep crypt]

i ve read it 2 times i believe, big pictures with weapon repair

[willow hawk]

you can also get a basic toolkit from Yantar Spirit trader for vodka through dialog

or through Hip's quest

[willow hawk]

this tells you that you don't need repair kits to repair guns

only cleaning kits, which you can buy at mechanics traders

repair kits are an easy way to full repair a gun, yes

[deep crypt]

thats not for sale i believe, never seen it

[willow hawk]

but finding a gun with a barrel above 60% is enough to repair it fully without needing the repair kit and thus the associated repair kit

[deep crypt]

ill try ir this way

[willow hawk]

go to any mechanic

[deep crypt]

swamps, ill check it

[willow hawk]

there's mangun at rostok, xenotech at cordon, etc

[deep crypt]

where can i get these?

[willow hawk]

Stashes…

And item disassembly for scraps

[deep crypt]

oh god...

[willow hawk]

Or yantar spirit vodka trade

Or hip quest

For the basic toolkit

But otherwise stashes yes

Only the marked ones

[fiery blade]

Got this quest from Colonel Kuznetsov in Agroprom but no "highlight on your PDA".. arrived at Cordon and still nothing.. what gives?

[deep crypt]

marked ones?

which is marked? white? green?

[fiery blade]

No.. those are purchased stash marks.. there is nothing marked for this quest.

[fiery blade]

Haaa! That was not about my question.. sorry!

[carmine wyvern]

!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.

[deep crypt]

funny thing is green stashes are located only on territories where i will be fucked and owned

fuck me then

[carmine wyvern]

i dunno what to tell you lmao

what doesnt kill you makes you stonger

also, when I get a Stash Coordinate, is there a change it might get revealed in Undergound Maps like Aprogrom / Jupiter Underground ?

cant imagine something more fun than going stash hunting in those haunted places /s

[deep crypt]

but it kills me

🤨

[carmine wyvern]

skill issue

nah i joking

does free loot respawn after a set amount of time ?

I can swear i looted the same spots with 3 different items in total

[terse hawk]

just get stash locations that arent so bad or get a guide quest so you can tag ppl along with you cuz stalkers become terminators when they're your companion

i was complaining about toolkits too then i went to darkscape only met a bloodsucker and bam i literally got 4 basic kits and 2 advanced kits

on an unrelated note how do you turn on captions? the menu one doesnt work and i wanna understand the cheeki breeki

[north turret]

If I wanted vanilla armor repair from technicians, i just disable G.A.M.M.A. Armors repair like WPO right?

[versed tusk]

go to #🤖bot-commands and type !vanilla

[uneven ocean]

Do these have loot? https://i.imgur.com/IGJflPs.png

I knifed like 4 of em and nothing in them

[versed tusk]

i love black screenshots

[uneven ocean]

xD looks decent on my screen def hard to see but ye lmao

[versed tusk]

if its the small boxes you can knife open - they may contain loot

and a good bet is always to use a headlamp for screenies

[uneven ocean]

I still need to get one LOL

[north turret]

How does one properly disable the body health mechanic along with the UI?

[versed tusk]

go to #🤖bot-commands and type !bhs

[north turret]

Thank you

[willow hawk]

white and green yes

unmarked staashes are empty

[willow hawk]

risk reward

you won't get good rewards without taking risks...

[carmine wyvern]

insert Red Forest here

[willow hawk]

that's how gamma is built

[carmine wyvern]

[north turret]

Theres nothing about it but i tried deactivating G.A.M.M.A. Armors repair like WPO and it makes it like vanilla

[versed tusk]

ah i misread your post, just vanilla repairs

[north turret]

I dont mind the gun component repairs since theyre under more stress but the armor was just a step too far out of vanilla

[versed tusk]

that's a little more specific then and negates the whole point of Gamma tbh

if you run into issues, better ask in #🔨modded-gamma-support from now on as you have no vanilla modpack anymore

[north turret]

thats okay im really after a more vanilla+++ experience thank goodness we can switch the modules on and off

[versed tusk]

Modular Modpack for a reason, yeah

[grand cave]

hi, is there any mod that disables negative faction relations points while failing quests?

[mighty condor]

Dick changes warfare traders, some important characters like traders and quest givers and alife stalkers

[carmine wyvern]

the Negative Consequences for failing a Quest are negligible

still sucks, but the values are low

[willow hawk]

It's minor + makes you think about which tasks you want to pick instead of taking everything and checking what's on the menu. Be happy that there's no time limit with tasks

[graceful iron]

that quest must be bugged was there any quest marker for it at some point?

[deep crypt]

how much shotgun shells does it take to kill exoskeleton unit? not ap shells, buckshots that u kill mutants with

[graceful iron]

you can test it yourself but its really not effective

[deep crypt]

its referred to that message

i have only starting shotgun 12 hours into game and im trying to understand how to repair a decent gun

[graceful iron]

you can buy/craft or loot slugs and ap slugs, then aim for the head

shotguns are good for their versatility

[deep crypt]

hmmmm

okay

[graceful iron]

if the enemy is a full exoskeleton, then you might have better luck killing him with a grenade or letting him fight something else

[carmine wyvern]

I killed a Military Exo boy, with 1 Buckshot round after he ate a nade point blank

the Barrel was at 67%

it CAN to the Job in a pinch

but AP SLugs are the way to go and waaaaay more fun

[graceful iron]

goodluck trying to kill an exo with buckshot at full health

[carmine wyvern]

did they remove the stunlocking from Buckshot `?

[graceful iron]

i dont think so

[deep crypt]

2shot obrez 😄

[carmine wyvern]

you could cheese Enemies in big Armors in Anomaly by just stunlocking them in their weird little animation and blasting them with Buckshot

[deep crypt]

reload time is like 5 seconds

[graceful iron]

but the amount of buckshot its going to take and the possibility of other enemies or him getting out of the stunlock is still there

[carmine wyvern]

yea

the Carabineer shotgun with AP is SOO much fun

[versed tusk]

with silencer on it sounds sexy

[carmine wyvern]

yeeeep

i am rocking that thing and the MP7

[versed tusk]

aight, lets move this back to general

[carmine wyvern]

true

[versed tusk]

[willow hawk]

way too many to be useful

[deep crypt]

ill try to craft ap shells

[lunar cedar]

how do you start the dr. x quest?

[tidal raft]

Talk to your faction leader and you can ask how to get rich.

[lunar cedar]

thanks!

[astral condor]

I need some help, I'm afraid to say. So backstory, I was trying to optimize STALKER's FPS performance especially in Rostok following instructions on #old-framerate-optimisation and disabling AVX CPU stuff from the launcher which I heard actually hampers performance, and I did notice a jump in FPS, but now I'm facing completely random CTD's, last one occured when looting bodies. It's worthy to note that the modlist is completely vanilla (with the exception of one mod, Apocalyptic Blowout overhaul that doesn't touch much things especially regarding looting)

stack trace:

at address 0x000000014014BA9A`

It doesn't follow the normal error format with CTDs which is peculiar, first time I came across something like this.

Another thing of note that the game crashed out of absolutely nowhere, just near the entrance to Garbage from Rostok, but without triggering the travel to Garbage, was still a good few meters left to walk.

So if it isn't too much to ask, two questions:
1- How can I make the game run smoother, I know X-Ray isn't exactly the most optimized of engines and runs on a single core, but I do have an RTX 2060, which is capable of running a lot of triple-A titles, and a Ryzen 5 1600 AF, which is also pretty decent as far as my experience with it goes.

2- How to fix this crash? Admittedly, it happened to me only two times now, but I sorta panicked and I figured might as well ask for support, since it shouldn't be exactly a coincidence that the only two crashes in a 20 hour playthough was after disabling AVX. Turning it on is obviously an option lol but again, I noticed a good leap in performance without AVX on

[versed tusk]

AVX is CPU tech tho, not GPU

[astral condor]

Yeah ik, I was talking about the poor performance in some parts

Interestingly enough, noisy scenes don't matter as much, take for example, Cordon, Army Warehouses, Yantar, Dead City, they're all filled with foliage and anomalies in case of Yantar but my FPS is a good 60 FPS, but when it comes back to Rostok, a crowded place with a lot of characters and interactivity, FPS dips right into 30's and 20's

[versed tusk]

that is not an issue unique to you, i can say that much

I average 55-60 fps with a 1080, and especially when ALife goes nuts with tons of NPCs i can even go below 10

[astral condor]

Oh god it can get that bad?

[versed tusk]

Cordon was the worst offender when military and loners started fighting

I havent visited the places since 152 so i have still to test this again

but Rostock, weirdly enough, was always good for me with performance

[astral condor]

Lucky lol, I cannot for the life of me get Rostok to run well, even when turning graphics down to potato levels just to empty that valuable single core CPU usage for A-Life :P lol

Should I just downgrade to DX10? I have a feeling it'll run even worse lmfao

[versed tusk]

just be aware that you are not the only one, that's just how the game runs for the majority of people - it doesnt matter what PC you throw at it and comparing it to new games isnt a thing you can do easily

also, each PC will have it's sweet spot and its not easy to say: "do this" to fix those issues

[astral condor]

Yeahhh true

[versed tusk]

i spent a few hours trying to get performance better, but I just live with the 50-60 fps

[astral condor]

God I wish for multi-core support for the slavjank engine lol. Well, I guess that concludes one part of the question. Thank you so much for your help, Skom

[versed tusk]

I'm sure there are some things people can still suggest, i would also not give up

its just my 2 cents from a few years of anomaly modding and a few months of Gamma

i settle for a solid framerate over a high one without sacrificing too much quality

[astral condor]

lol well, I'm very open to suggestions cuz god I spent a lot trying to optimize performance, following guides and shi

[astral condor]

Yeah that's basically my goal, it's just that Rostok was like, my main hub in the game and it was driving me insane doing my business in the 20 FPS range lol

[versed tusk]

while I think of it, what helped me the most personally is deactivating SMAA and AA ingame and force the NVIDIA panel options to do most of the stuff

no VSync ofc, lowering grass distance & density ofc

[astral condor]

I'll check rq, I may have done the same with SMAA and AA but without enabling them in NVIDIA panel options. Grass options are left at vanilla values, that also requires tweaking I assume?

[versed tusk]

grass shadow and distance + density are THE fps killer

but thats not the case in rostock

rostock is just also CPU hell

[astral condor]

Yeahhh that's what really drives me insane lol, it runs well with Grassssssss agsdfgfh

Fr

Do I like, decrease population density or smthing?

[versed tusk]

that'd be a global setting

so it can and will fuck with the values everywhere

[astral condor]

Crap lol

So that's another dead end bruhhh

[tribal plover]

Right, so: there used to be way to remove trader stock limits (deleting trader_presets.ltx). It seems that it doesn't really work now (it adds weapons & equipment) - outfits and helmets doesn't show up in trading anymore. Any way to change that, so i can have full stock?

[versed tusk]

go to #🤖bot-commands and type !vanilla - that should guide you to have armor and guns tradeable

to unlock the restrictions for goodwill? i would not know

[tribal plover]

Yeah, but 1st option isn't option bcus it removes items added by gamma (artefact melder for example) from traders iirc, and deleting trader_presets doesn't add suits & helmets back to traiders.

[willow hawk]

enable trader overhaul, but keep the ecolog trader files from GAMMA Economy

[tribal plover]

I mean, it's not only artefact melder that's getting removed by trader overhaul or removal of gamma economy, so keeping ecologs from gamma economy won't fix total removal of gamma items.

[north turret]

How do I disable thirst?

[carmine wyvern]

its one of the options you shouldnt touch in gamma

it can break your game severely

[north turret]

Not even safely?

[wintry oar]

do military stalkers have to scavenge for guns like regular ones?

[tidal raft]

You don't.

[wintry oar]

lol

[carmine wyvern]

well lorewise they get their equipment from Ukraine

[wintry oar]

I mean player.

[carmine wyvern]

ingame they scavenge shit from dead stalkers and become loot pinatas

[wintry oar]

but yeah, was answered.

[warm remnant]

So I'm trying to disable the brain thingy for the science people, but i have to deal with a constant stream of ghost snorks, what's the deal with that, is it a creature during it or? I have to waste ammo in order not to commit unalive

[tidal raft]

It is an effect of the machine itself.

[graceful iron]

there is still a mutant thats the "source" of those phantoms

[warm remnant]

Ah ok, also just figured out they eventaully disappear if i run around with them

[graceful iron]

its better to get some decent psy resistance before going into the miracle machine now

[carmine wyvern]

get a decent stoneflower artifact or a helmet w/ good psy protection and you are golden

[versed tusk]

also use your drugs/meds

dont hoard yur psy res meds

use em

[carmine wyvern]

or sell them

[warm remnant]

Hmm maybe, but for now im gonna attempt it with baggies of weed, and my shitty shotgun, it's going decently so far

[wintry oar]

stoned stalker with a rusty shotgun fighting his way through the hordes of mutants.

[carmine wyvern]

first time i did it with Psy-Block 11% resistance....it was doable

well there arent that many mutants in MM

3 Snorks, 7 or 10 zombies, 1 burer, 1 controller and 2 bloodsuckers

[wintry oar]

just 3 snorks? is it changed in Gamma?
I remember much more. What about pseudogiant?

[warm remnant]

I think its been like 5 so far

[versed tusk]

he's leaving out the exit

of this calculation

[carmine wyvern]

yeppo

[versed tusk]

cuz most people cheese and fast travel once out the hole

[carmine wyvern]

since the other ones are technically in Yantar

boring

fast travel is ruining half the fun

[tidal raft]

One IED and one, or two, grenades takes care of the Pseudogiant.

[carmine wyvern]

for the tunnels its like 5 snorks, 3 zombified and the 1 giant

[warm remnant]

Also is it just me or does nightvision googles make "invisible" suckers visible?

[carmine wyvern]

yep

its pretty sweet

[tidal raft]

Working as intended.

[warm remnant]

PANIC, alarms are going off, russian announcements are sounding, do i run?!

[versed tusk]

smoke another joint

[tidal raft]

Keep hitting switches going forward.

[neat vapor]

Hi ! Is it possible to make fast travel free ? I saw that you can change some conf in the settings, but I didn't see this feature

[warm remnant]

Jesus that was stressing, but it's off i guess. After every switch was pulled they just add more alarms

[echo elk]

I'm sure I saw it as an option in MCM.

[neat vapor]

Thx I gonna check there

Ok under "limited fast travel" you have to set "Tax multiplier" to 0, thx @echo elk

[stone wolf]

is artifact hunting good for making a lot of money?

[opal relic]

From searching stashes, which locations are given as parts of quest rewards and of random dead stalkers and their PDA's (select view to open them in your Inventory and click on the messages, some also give a random new path unlock). Sorry was at work XD

[tidal raft]

Not really. It is more profitable to perform tasks repeatedly.
Especially since you receive Goodwill for tasks which in turn increases the inventory at traders.

[stone wolf]

alright thanks

do you know if task rewards are better in the north compared to the south?

[tidal raft]

Yes.

[warm remnant]

Oh neat, just exited the tunnels after killing the big dude, i know where this is

Really? I dont get any money for turning off the machine?

:(

[tidal raft]

You get lots of Goodwill.

[graceful iron]

"the mutants you murdered along the way"

[north turret]

Is the R700 in Gamma? I mean if it can be found in dead stalkers, since you can't buy weapons.

[graceful iron]

yes

you can find it from freedom, mercs or monolith

[north turret]

ok thanks

[warm remnant]

I'm not getting "very good sleep" despite having both a bedspread and a sleeping bag, anyone know why?

[versed tusk]

sleep with bot in a bed area, make sure you press F on the bag on the floor

[warm remnant]

Oh it has to be in a bed area for very good sleep?

Didn't realise, thanks

[versed tusk]

that's how I do it at least to get the full bonus

[opal relic]

Instead of finding a R700, I got the Deer Hunter right off the bat, I've found more tacticool guns than the unmodded versions of said guns...

[north turret]

How?

[graceful iron]

the 700 with kit installed is rare and only found on high ranking monolith i think, maybe some mercs as well

not sure if it just follows the same logic as other attachments, or its a gun by itself

[opal relic]

Literally off of the first dead Monolith I found within 15 seconds of walking into Army Warehouses! I didnt even kill the guy! Im still to repair it though, dont really need that kind of firepower.

[opal relic]

I seem to find a fair few pistols with pre installed upgrades on them too, I must be lucky

[north turret]

Wow, i played like 30 hours of Gamma and never found a single sniper.

[opal relic]

I think enemy rank goes up as yours does, so do dem missions!

[gritty minnow]

Any idea what is meant by right clicking the nvg addon?

[halcyon tapir]

I certainly have stutter, but not sure if it's more than "normal" on any xray iteration 😄 Can someone explain what the "turn this on if you stutter" mod is at the end of the MO modlist?

[north turret]

Well i reached professional rank with a Monolith playthrough after killing hundreds of mercs and only found a russian sniper (i dont know the name)

[halcyon tapir]

It always feel like the a-life related "ticks" of mutants dropping in or NPCs starting to fight.

[north turret]

just enable it

right click, enable

[north turret]

It changes the A-Life

I dont know what it does exactly, so maybe somebody that actually know what it does can help you

But when you open it with the explorer theres a file named a-life.ltx

[halcyon tapir]

was just curious; I'm almost 50+ hours in to this save (my first with GAMMA) so things are definitely playable, but I feel like there's always some stutter that comes with xray

[north turret]

its normal, even in vanilla anomaly

[halcyon tapir]

the only two real issues I've had are that and ABYSMAL FPS in rostok especially at night/with headlamps/and/or emissions/storm going on. Things can drop into the teens and twenties in Rostok under the "right" circumstances 😄

everywhere else I get consistent 70+

[north turret]

what gpu do you have?

[halcyon tapir]

3070

[north turret]

omg

[halcyon tapir]

playing at 1440p

[opal relic]

Hmmm weird... I found a Kar98 Forrester too (Upgraded already including suppressor upgrade too) which I use all the time, and a SVD I have built, and the SVDS, multiple L1 snipers, standard Kar98 (way after the Forrester) and 1 or 2 others

[halcyon tapir]

default graphics settings save grass turned down a few hairs

[north turret]

Hi
i have a problem about run the gamma
when i run it with MO2 after seconds game crashed
how can i solve this?

[versed tusk]

post your logs first, then we'll see

[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.

[north turret]

logs in MO2?

[north turret]

oh ok

[graceful iron]

game log

[halcyon tapir]

I can't remember, does crouch/prone actually affect npc accuracy against you at all?

I feel like they can still face me pretty easily even when prone in an objectively "good" position :d

[graceful iron]

no

[halcyon tapir]

That's what I figured

[north turret]

missing files from this addon

!missingmods

[raw raft]

Follow this guide if you're missing one or more mods: #╭📖faq message

Explaining WHY you're missing something from the mod list:

Moddb isn't really suited for the installer, it's not that much ordinary to download 300+ mods casually every other day, so you can lose some files in the process, when you download them.
MO2 can't obviously know if you have everything or not. This is because, if the file structure of the mod is "okay", the mod is "okay".
Anomaly, on the other hand knows right away that something is wrong, because it has to look for certain files in certain mods, and if those files are not there, the game crashes.

[north turret]

thanks

[warm remnant]

So i just got Hip as a companion, i can tell her to hold a medkit, and hold a scanner, what do these things do?

[wintry oar]

is it possible to turn binocular night/high contrast vision on/off ?

[graceful iron]

no

[wintry oar]

ouch

[warm remnant]

yeah it's terrible, i had that problem too when i first played

[tidal raft]

Use your own NVG and Free Zoom.

[opal relic]

Or if you find Free Zoom cheating, A scope and NVGs

[north turret]

just a little question about : how can i download and get this file?

[graceful iron]

the bot command for missingmods explains how to fix the issue. see this message and follow the instructions

you will need to download the addon manually from moddb first

[north turret]

all of that?

[graceful iron]

one addon the addon thats missing the files

[north turret]

so i dont know whats addon this file from

[graceful iron]

find it in your modlist > right click > visit on moddb > download > put it in gammaRC3/downloads > run the installer

[versed tusk]

right click the mod in MO2 > visit on moddb

download

[north turret]

ok

[graceful iron]

#🔨base-gamma-support message literally showed you the addon and its number in the modlist

[north turret]

As you can see, this addon is not on my list.

[graceful iron]

check if you are blocked on moddb

go to the website and it will tell you if you are blocked

[north turret]

Yes, this site is filtered in my country and I have to use VPN to use it.

[zinc leaf]

hey

how do i back to default enabled mods in gamma

[graceful iron]

!default

[raw raft]

Modlist
To bring your mod list back to default, inverting any changes made by you:

1. Open the installer with admin rights
2. Click on Only install G.A.M.M.A. addons

Keybinds
To bring your keybinds to default, DON'T press the default button in the menu, you'll mess up everything.
Instead, do this:

1. Go in GAMMA RC3\.Grok's Modpack Installer\G.A.M.M.A\modpack_patches\appdata
2. Copy the user.ltx file you'll find in there (note that every change made by you in your user.ltxwill be reverted to default)
3. Paste this file in Anomaly\appdata

[zinc leaf]

somehow i desabled all

[zinc leaf]

thankz

[swift vessel]

where can i find some 5.56x39mm?

[graceful iron]

did you use a vpn when installing ?

the installer needs to download addons from that website

[north turret]

No
the mirror links working with out VPN i see

[opal relic]

Off dead people or get a Western Armed Group Level up till they sell it

[swift vessel]

thank you

[north turret]

im trying to reinstall gamma with VPN.
i hope it's work.

[zinc leaf]

[graceful iron]

post the 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.

[wintry oar]

not sure if should ask here or in general, since I always played anomaly solo.
will something bad happen if npc's you "hired" die? like, reputation loss?

[warm remnant]

Not unless they had a quest for you that you didn't complete

[graceful iron]

you lose a little reputation

[warm remnant]

You do?

[graceful iron]

yes

[warm remnant]

So do you not a message for that?

[wintry oar]

since well, i have 0 faith in npc's keeping themselves alive most of the time.

[warm remnant]

Because i've had a couple of followers die, and i didn't get any pop-up

[graceful iron]

there is no pop-up unless you exceed or go below a certain level of rep

its a small loss, nothing to worry about

[pure frigate]

i have a question How can i disable arm dmg? or health my arm all the way back? i know meds are temporary but theres no fully recover at all?

[tidal raft]

Type "!heal" in #🤖bot-commands

[gritty minnow]

How do you attach an exoskeleton to an exosuit?

[graceful iron]

you cant

you need to find and repair an exoskeleton from dead bodies

[gritty minnow]

[brisk zinc]

This is a damn flavour text I'd remove

[opal relic]

Main Meds do your Temp heal making the bar yellow, post meds like yadulin for example, will heal permanently over any yellow bar, some meds only heal certain parts though

[opal relic]

For Example, say your arm is full busted, you pop a basic med kit and it heals 75% temp making that 75% yellow, pop a yadulin and however much the yadulin can heal will heal permanently over the yellow bar. Also carry plenty of caffine tabs if using Yadulin as it calms down the Dizzy effect!

[gritty minnow]

When you find a skeletal exosuit but don't have an exosuit repair kit since you don't have an expert toolkit 😦

[opal relic]

Just like finding a SV98 but you still had only basic tools, by the time you have the gear you got better guns

[gritty minnow]

Facts right there 😦 Though I think the skeletal exosuit is the best armor, probably

[grizzled raven]

meant to be that way since exoskeletons are lategame

[boreal jewel]

Is there a way when using the quick release to drop your backpack/inventory to not have it drop favourites? I tried it last night and the only thing it kept are my equipped mags.

[torn totem]

is there any way to increase enemy footstep sounds? they seem really too quiet compared to my character being heard like driving tank by enemies.

[gritty minnow]

Is there a way to cure diziness? It really screws me up during gunfights because I have to post heal

[supple idol]

yes drink a energy drink

[warm remnant]

or take caffeine tablets

or drink water

[supple idol]

its items with this alcohol soberiing effect that help with this i believe

[tidal raft]

Inject glucose, and the other solutions already mentioned.

[gleaming granite]

So I saw the new guide on disabling Core 0, what does this do?

[boreal jewel]

If GAMMA includes Better Quick Release, the part of the mod which is meant to leave your meds in your inventory isn't working. I notice there's a similar comment on moddb about this not working on Anomaly 1.5.2.

[fiery blade]

Thanks for the response. No, there was no quest marker for it at any point.

[graceful iron]

did you try loading a save before taking the quest?

you can also try force completing it, but its a process to find the quest ID

!task

[raw raft]

Having problems with a certain task? #╭📖faq message

[fiery blade]

Yes. Same result.

[fiery blade]

Not worth it. Went to a previous save and opted out from taking on that quest.

I was just basically reporting on the bug. Thanks.

[graceful iron]

ok

[warm remnant]

Where do i find these "Itx files"? for the task ID?

[tidal raft]

Check the message, one more time.

[graceful iron]

i dont really know but it seems the readme pdf linked in that post has that info

[warm remnant]

ah ok, yeah thought the readme was something else

[gritty minnow]

All that pain to get to a green stash in Chernobyl fighting monolith and military, a tank mutant, crap ton of other mutants only to get this 🙂

[graceful iron]

you can post loadouts in #╟🔫loadouts or #╟📸screenshots or even #╓☢stalker-chat

[tidal raft]

Is there a question anywhere for this channel? #🔨base-gamma-support

[willow hawk]

I made my own better quick release before the moddb one . Now if you tell me current quick release system in gamma doesn't keeop meds I'll check it out

[gritty minnow]

Sorry forgot to follow it up with a question, is there a better way to get expert toolkits

[willow hawk]

2 best armors but ok

it comes in the game I agree

[supple idol]

no

you just got unlucky

keep trying

[boreal jewel]

OK, so to my original question then - any way to make it not drop favourites? It doesn't keep meds in it's current form, no.

[supple idol]

any stash at red forest or north of there can give expert, you dont need to go to chernobyl, not sure if that increases chances tho

[minor star]

Radar and Outskirts tend to be the best places to get expert tools

[willow hawk]

Ok, I'll test it out

[shadow sapphire]

Ill check as well loading up anyway to check metal bottle.

[shadow sapphire]

I just tested on latest gamma vanilla and it absolutely held onto my bandages, first aid kits and post heals

[willow hawk]

#📎to-do

my less polite version

[warm remnant]

How far north do i need to be in order to find expert toolsets?

[versed tusk]

Radar/RF and above

[brisk zinc]

Red Forest and north from there

Possible 100% locations are Radar and Zaton

[lime bough]

Do you guys get campfires flickering? Like its burning yellow then suddenly flashes red and back to yellow again?

[shadow sapphire]

Im literally debating making a little Map of the zone with a line that says expert tools, no expert tools, and recommended armor/weapon minimums for each map.

[versed tusk]

that aint a bad idea tbh

as always, lmk when i can help

[warm remnant]

So if i add attachments to followers weapons, scopes etc. will it make them better at shooting?

[shadow sapphire]

You know, this is honestly a good question. Im going to say no. However supressors and caliber changes should have an effect. If the weapon is in good kit then they wont reload/unjam as often. But I do not believe a scope changes anything.

Be warned I could be wrong with the scope part though.

[versed tusk]

They degrade your stuff very fast, and a silencer will make it even faster on the damage reduction due to the barrel

[warm remnant]

Yeah, but i just want them to have a decent weapon, there's no way to change their armor right?

[versed tusk]

not sure, never use them. i just know aout the very basic stuff

[shadow sapphire]

I would honestly have to go look at the ai accuracy calculation. But Im 90% sure its primarily based off their rank more than anything else. With story companions having set values that depend less on rank. Currently no way to change their armor. If you grab a story NPC though they are built like a tank.

[warm remnant]

Yeah ok, was worried Hip would get messed up, since she's technically a "Rookie"

[versed tusk]

she's a tank

[shadow sapphire]

If you get hip killed I am going to have questions on how. Ive watched her fight an entire monolith squad and not even lose health

[warm remnant]

Jeez yeah okay

[shadow sapphire]

Seriously though, she is honestly a bit OP imo.

[warm remnant]

I assume "carry this medkit" is for her to heal if she needs to, but whats the "carry this artifact detector" does it just make her able to find artifacts on her own?

[chilly cradle]

quick question about companions, since hips being mentioned: are you able to temporarily dismiss them somewhere if you wanna go solo again?

or do you just park them with a Wait Here

[warm remnant]

If you have them with you, you can use this

part ways is go home dont know where they go though

[chilly cradle]

nice thank you. ive been too nervous to pick up any companions so far because i didnt want to potentially be stuck with a door blocker

[shadow sapphire]

Its the same as just putting it in their inventory to my knowledge, just a quick way to transfer specific items. Again could be wrong.

[warm remnant]

i assume hip would return to noob camp but otherwise i think they just go whereever, so remember to pick up your stuff from them before dismissing

ah ok 👍

[unborn mural]

Reaching out to my fellow Mercs: Just started my first GAMMA run yesterday, rolled my usual Merc with my Dead City start. I’m aware that the more north you are, the more radiation and psy you run into; so I can’t push too far up in Limansk. I’ve found that I can beat up on Duty at the Army Warehouses, but progressing towards the Red Forest is a no go. I figured I’d try heading south, but I can’t head into Yantar due to psy-fields.

Any advice from fellow Mercs starting out? Perhaps spending some time killing/looting lower Limansk and Army Warehouses until I can find better armor?

[shadow sapphire]

Most of the time if you walk into them a few times they get out of the way, alternatively you can enable the companion teleport mod, just understand that it will also teleport rescue targets.

[chilly cradle]

oooh sick

[tidal raft]

Use the alternative entrance to Yantar from Dead City. (shown on your PDA)

[warm remnant]

I've found that if you sprint into them they'll slowly get out of the way

[shadow sapphire]

Army is usually where alot of the merc players go first as its decent gear, and survivable with the starter equipment.

[unborn mural]

@tidal raft god damnit, can’t believe I forgot about that cheeki side spot

[unborn mural]

Word! And that’s a familiar feel too, I’ll keep to that for a bit then.

@tidal raft @shadow sapphire thank you guys. 🤘🏻 The mod pack is insanely awesome, massive shoutout to Grok and all those involved. ❤️

[shadow sapphire]

If you up goodwill for Freedom it will also allow you to have decent NATO vendor in the middle of the whole zone

[frank robin]

I don't have much knowledge where scopes are concerned. Is there some sort of image board or something where I can preview the different scopes for Gamma?

[tidal raft]

Nope. Best bet is to use debug to drag in a bunch of optics and trying them out.

[frank robin]

I feared as much. No worries, thanks 👍

[edgy echo]

I'm pretty sure I get what you mean, though it never ever bothered me lol

[quaint shadow]

Just got a surplus helmet, it mentions that it has a retractable visor. Is that in game or flavour text?

[shadow sapphire]

I believe its just flavor text, but ive never used that helmet as it has basically no radiation protection.

[soft niche]

Is it possible to make stalker gamma have a tarkov feel? Like, far more dangerous, difficult, but more rewarding?

[shadow sapphire]

You literally just described gamma vs anomaly lol.

[shadow sapphire]

but to answer your question, put it on hard and survivalist and do ironman, you die save gone.

[paper hamlet]

Hey folks, anyone have any tips to make the reshade a little more noticeable?

[shadow sapphire]

Honestly no idea, I assume that it means click reinstall when you right click it, and dont add the optional packages. But I could be totally wrong. If you want to tell me what framerate issues you are having, there might be an easier fix I can help with.

[shadow sapphire]

Honestly I know almost nothing about shaders. I just run the defaults that grok picked in the pack. I would try the #╟🎑reshades channel as those folks know alot about them.

[paper hamlet]

Thank you very much

[quaint shadow]

Yeah this is early game haha. I start out with just a knife and a backpack and managed to kill this guy. I was just hoping I could use it without all those cracks

[warped ginkgo]

@shadow sapphire do you know if current gamma uses custom modded exes?

or it uses the ones from 1.5.2/github ones

[shadow sapphire]

Oh, you can always turn off the helmet screen effect to get rid of cracks

[shadow sapphire]

Im 90% that the exes are custom modded. I dont know how crazy, but they are downloaded via the gamma github

[pure scarab]

hey this new patch

install only gamma addons?

[shadow sapphire]

Yup, no full install for today or yesterdays patch unless your like me and hit the wrong button

[warm remnant]

Oh dang there was a bunch updates, didn't even notice

[shadow sapphire]

Daily updates lately. You can always right click #📢announcements and #📢development and tell it to notify you on all messages, since its only grok its not super spammy and it will let you know to check them.

[ancient laurel]

are Fractures meant to be this fast? daaaamn, they're like Sonic

i was chillin, just dealt with a pack of zombies and then I see a Fracture coming at the speed of light

[shadow sapphire]

HAHA they were faster.

[ancient laurel]

i remember them being pretty slow in previous update

[shadow sapphire]

But yes, supposedly they will be slowed down a bit later on, but we will see.

[warm remnant]

Yup, Fractures might be old men, but they fuken zoomin through the zone

[ancient laurel]

oh yeah, took me by surprise, I had only 2 buckshots left in the shotty when 2 of them skated the grass like maniacs

[lyric steeple]

tell me you just had to load an old save without telling me you just died.

[ancient laurel]

i survived and now i'm chillin with the guy I just rescued during a blowout

[thick python]

How can I repair an Exoskeleton frame? / Which repair kit do I need? (75%)

[shadow sapphire]

Right click and hit details on it, it will show compatible repair kits.

[thick python]

I forgot you could do that on parts aswell, thank you

well.. it tells me fasteners and metal scrap. but I cant use them

[shadow sapphire]

send screen shot please

[thick python]

maybe at the workshop.. Ill see - nope 😄

[lyric steeple]

I dont think that is actually an exoskeleton.

thats a component.

[versed tusk]

that's what you get from it

[thick python]

Yeah and I want to repair the component

[lyric steeple]

it can be used to repair one i think.

as an aditional piece when repairing

[shadow sapphire]

Well now, thats interesting. Which repair kits do you have?

[thick python]

All available I guess.. I could check the debug menu, but Im sure Ive got all

[versed tusk]

yeah this is a component of the exo itself and used to repair the exo - it will repair once inside the exo and you using the appropriate repair kit.

i dont remember which kit can repair the components for exos

[thick python]

But like you can repair components for weapons, with a file to 100%, I want to do the same for the frame, so that it has 100% when I insert it in the actuall Exoskeleton

[shadow sapphire]

Can you not repair it before putting it in like all other parts?

[versed tusk]

heavy armor all use the heavy sewing kit

i didnt play around with exos too much yet

[lyric steeple]

exo use the exo repair right?

[versed tusk]

i repaired my nos

[thick python]

same for me, thats why I wonder

[versed tusk]

and this is a component/part inside

[shadow sapphire]

The suits do yes, the question is what does the component use.

[thick python]

with that I can rep. the actuall exoskeleton suit

[shadow sapphire]

I would check Heavy Sewing, field armour repair, and see if its one of those.

[versed tusk]

one way: have the stash open with all your repair kits and repair items, hover the part and see what lights up

[thick python]

both dont work

[versed tusk]

i brought my Nosorog to 80% by parts and then used repair items

sry am cooking rn, otherwise I'd fire up the game

[thick python]

Did that, not even the part repair kit works

[shadow sapphire]

Hmmm

[thick python]

dont worry, we'll figure it out. 🙂

[versed tusk]

maybe you cant then? its armor tho so as long as you bring up the condition of the exo itself, this one will also go to 100

[thick python]

I use the 75% part now.. All other parts are 100% condition

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah, Ill have to check if intended to not be able to repair exoskeleton.

[thick python]

I used the 75% frame, repaired the exoskeleton to 100% from 96 and now the frame itself has 99%

[versed tusk]

yeeee

[shadow sapphire]

Did you adjust ZCP settings? and what are your specs?

Do you have debug on?

[halcyon tapir]

I might be missing something, but I've got like 3 quest turn ins outside the fence/area of Military Warehouses. I don't know of any underground areas there?

[shadow sapphire]

Is it to an npc who wanders?

[halcyon tapir]

a couple of them, but it's been in game DAYS and days

I tried to just wait it out but it's not moving to an area I can get to as far as I can tell

[shadow sapphire]

Ok try these things: 1 - Enable the turn this on if you stutter mod in mo2. 2 - in nvidia control panel turn on triple buffering.

[tidal raft]

You can't.

Parts don't need to be 100% to enable restoration of an exo-skeletal suit.

[thick python]

haha ya I / we figured that out now. I was just dazzled by the fact that I usually use only 100% parts when repairing (if possible)

[tidal raft]

See the APART-guide in #╭📖faq, or type "!apart" in #🤖bot-commands

[frank robin]

Probably a dumb question on my part: I'm getting to the point where I'm encountering a lot more armored enemies. Is there a way to distinguish when I should be using AP ammo against enemies who are not using exo armor?

It's a little tricky to tell when I should be.

[warm remnant]

I generally just switch to AP when i encounter Mercenaries, Monolith, Sin, or Military. Otherwise you'd have to get really close to see

[tidal raft]

Any stalkers in AW or further north = AP

[shadow sapphire]

Good rule of thumb is if they are wearing armor north of AW AP

[frank robin]

Awesome, thanks guys.

[tidal raft]

From Red Forest and up it is not a question of "if" they have armour.

[frank robin]

Ran into a Merc in Agroprom. I dumped a whole clip of FMJ into him from a distance and realized, "Oh shit, he's still standing and I don't have any AP mags loaded." Couldn't tell from afar how armored he was.

[tidal raft]

You should see sparks and hear ricochets if you aren't penetrating.

[grizzled birch]

My FOV seems to be increasing itself the more I play, I keep resetting it back to 90, but it just goes back up, anyone know why that could be the case?

it seems that with every shot I fire the FOV increases by a strange amount

this never happend before, I've had multiple characters on the same version and this is a first

[warm remnant]

So what's the easiest way to obtain any power armor? Just grind quests for ecologists and buy from the professor, or kill people post red forest and hope someone drops it, or something else?

[winter raptor]

so I took a contract to kill a freedomer as a merc, if I kill the guy when I'm unseen by other freedomers will they still turn hostile against me and make the goodwill go down?

i have a suppressed weapon

and yes, anything for money

[grizzled birch]

you could simply disguise yourself with a bandit leather jacket

I'm not sure if there is such a system as "you've been seen murdering someone"

[winter raptor]

i just wanna know if it's possible to do it the simple way

[versed tusk]

you will lose goodwill, no matter what iirc - its a very minimal amount but still

[brisk zinc]

You can hear your FMJ doing nothing to their armor, just listen closely

[frank robin]

Ah, gotcha. Thanks 👍

[brisk zinc]

See if you can here a distinctive "ding"

• what Ald and Larkin told you

Red Forest alone is literally hard difficulty

You start to go there when you know you're strong enough

[frank robin]

Hmmm. I don't recall hearing distinct dings. I'll keep an ear out, but I also might disable some of the audio mods to make sure they aren't potentially affecting it.

[brisk zinc]

If your mod list is default, you can hear it very well, it's a great reminder

[buoyant stump]

full install or update mods with latest hotfix?

[versed tusk]

if not otherwise mentioned in #📢announcements then update only

[buoyant stump]

pog

[shadow sapphire]

!modlist

[raw raft]

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

[deft turtle]

so is it just me or is the player character giga thick and just smashes their thighs on the doorways

[shadow sapphire]

You will lose good will regardless, but you will not be instantly hostile to the whole faction. However the lowest your good will can go from actions taken during the quest is 0. Killing other freedom dudes are not protected by this.

[rustic otter]

what graphical addons do I need to disable to get the vanilla anomaly look? I wanted to install a different graphic pack

[viscid sparrow]

grezzly detector or velles?

which one you guys prefer

[winter raptor]

ive already actually tried a lot, murdering him in secret with silencer, landmine and the other freedomers start to open fire on me instantly

[tidal raft]

Svarog.

[lyric steeple]

silencer, landmine?

[uncut bear]

I've read faq but it seems i'm still missing something about radiation. I just can't get rid of it entirely. Goes away for a moment after smoking cigarettes or using anti-rad drugs but keeps coming back. It's always just a grey icon but eventually it starts taking away big chunks of my health. How do you get rid of it?

[winter raptor]

gun with silencer and then tried a planted landmine lol

[deft turtle]

do you have a mask on? Do you have an artifact in your inventory

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah the ones that see you do it will start firing, but if you leave the area for a bit, or load into a different map the will no longer be hostile when you return.

[winter raptor]

too risky to try ngl im doing ironmamn

ill just dip out and wait for him to die to something else

[uncut bear]

Thought about it too so I've removed all artifacts for inventory, and i do have a rspirator on me.

[shadow sapphire]

Take a picture of your inventory and post it please, also please send your modlist, if you dont know how go to #🤖bot-commands and type !modlist

[uncut bear]

Ok, modlist is deafult

[shadow sapphire]

For the record to anyone in this channel, replying to a request of sending modlist with its default is not the same thing. With the modlist not only can I see that, I can make sure load order did not get messed up somehow, that you are on the current update, and additionally it would shock you how many people say default and have 400 mods running.

[lyric steeple]

also, there is a full auto .45?!

[versed tusk]

FNX is one of them - but only with expert tools

[shadow sapphire]

UMP ???

[tidal raft]

And some pistols have full-auto upgrades.

[lyric steeple]

or some full auto that have .45 upgrades.

i'd love to have a pistol that can put out some .45 dmg

also, how is 556 against creatures?!

[tidal raft]

HP rounds.

[north turret]

assault rifle HP is good
small mutants get one-tapped

[lyric steeple]

nice

[plush nova]

Hello, I'm curious about the disabled mods by default. My meaning is that, am I supposed to enable any of them? Is there is list or document somewhere stating which ones should be used in addition to the mods checked by default? My curiosity peaked as I noticed with yesterday's updates, that the 'UMP reposition' was mentioned, however, it is "not" checked within my MO2 and I had no idea if I'm supposed to or not.

[versed tusk]

Gamma is ready to go as is, dont touch the disabled ones

the UMP reposition is bugged still iirc

[plush nova]

Yes, that's what I figured. I only wanted to be sure. Thank you.

[versed tusk]

IF you rly want to enable some stuff, it's best to ask

some stuff (optional for instance) are ok but they all come with some extra steps

[shadow sapphire]

!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.

After reading this you'll probably ask: "But why are those mods there if you can't activate them?". 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.
And you'll also ask: "What about the other disabled mods that aren't under the "Disabled" category, then?". Don't enable them if you don't know what you're doing. Ask in #🔨base-gamma-support before doing anything.

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.

[lyric steeple]

got an ak-74u tactical. it looks like it has a laser and a flashlight, but im not sure how to turn on the flashlight. long L just turns the laser on

[versed tusk]

flashlights are just flair

[lyric steeple]

sadface

[versed tusk]

did your FOV change in settings maybe? it can get stuck

[uncut bear]

Ok, so i went through the inventory and there was this thing called Anomalous Bread that doesn't show in artifact subinventory. Missed it completely. Thanks for fast response though @shadow sapphire

[plush nova]

Thank you for pointing that out to me. I should have realized this first, regarding the bot commands.

[versed tusk]

happened to me too, dont worry

i use 80 FOV and .65 hud fov

[shadow sapphire]

Standard FOV is like 70something. its weird.

[tidal raft]

It's 80.

[shadow sapphire]

o.0 wth mine always starts at 70 something and I have to put it to 80 on fresh installs. Now you have me questioning why xray hates me.

[tidal raft]

Could be the Vanilla Anomaly uses 70, while GAMMA is set to 80.

[past zodiac]

can we turn radiation clicker on? hard to keep up with bottom left corner

[shadow sapphire]

Buy or craft a geiger counter

[past zodiac]

oh shit

ty

[plush nova]

Question: the bot command statement for Alife -- "You'll need to change the date in this mod: G.A.M.M.A. Alife optimization
Go inside here: gamedata/configs/alife.ltx and change the date with 26/10/2018" -- so do I change this date to today's date?

[shadow sapphire]

No, dont do that unless you have a bug where the date is wrong

[plush nova]

I suppose that is why I'm asking. The date and year are of 2018 -- is that the correct date then?

[shadow sapphire]

Yes thats the normal date.

[plush nova]

Okay, thank you.

[halcyon tapir]

Is there a "point" to use the higher quality detectors? It says they have an "outdated set of artifacts" programmed into them

that makes me think the standard "beep only" is the only thing that can find everything?

[past zodiac]

is there any chance to counter dizziness side effects like yadulin or psy-block?

[halcyon tapir]

Wiggle your head around in-sync with the effect

[shadow sapphire]

Wow, I am not sure what you read, but completley the opposite. Only the Savarog, Veles, and the mod one can find all artifacts.

[shadow sapphire]

Do you mean can you turn the effect off, or is there an item to counter it?

[halcyon tapir]

Maybe I read it backwards; I'll run back to workbench in a bit 🙂

[pure scarab]

so i enabled the companion teleport addon

how do i use it?

[halcyon tapir]

anecdotally I ran around with the tier2+ one and wasn't finding ANYTHING so that "worried me"

[shadow sapphire]

Check keybinds, should be J by default.

[pure scarab]

its not working 😦

[shadow sapphire]

What is the keybind in MCM? And do you have anything else bound to J

[north turret]

the Bear might have an outdated list, but the Echo detector has an even outer-dated list
not sure if Svarog has a better list than Grizzly and Veles, but all upgraded detectors have their own perks

[past zodiac]

is there an item to counter it?

[shadow sapphire]

Nope. No Ondansteron in game sadly.

[pure scarab]

there's no keybind on MCM the only keybind i see about companion tp is on the main controls, and its on J

[viscid sparrow]

Hello, my icons arent showing up, the heal icon, the dation icon, etc... is it a bug? and how o I fix it? Thanks in advance

[past zodiac]

ty

[shadow sapphire]

Oh it might be main controls. Are they on a different map?

[shadow sapphire]

dation? Can you send picture of what you are talking about?

[pure scarab]

yes he got stuck on X19

[shadow sapphire]

cant teleport cross map

[pure scarab]

goddamit

well shiet

time for a rescue op

[north turret]

any item with "sobering effect" or "dizziness reduction" reduces the drug wobbles
caffeine pills, energy drinks, water, or certain other drugs can get your screen clear on the quick

[viscid sparrow]

no icons

[shadow sapphire]

I mean barely in my experience but I guess thats technically correct, and they come with their own sideeffects.

[viscid sparrow]

the psy bar is also empty

[shadow sapphire]

Hit enter on the number pad

[viscid sparrow]

LOL XD

sorry about that

[shadow sapphire]

No worries!

[north turret]

several doses may be needed (IME two doses of caffeine removes 90% of one dose of Yadulin), but they do help

[shadow sapphire]

Ah, ill be honest I tried one dose, and was like Yeah doesnt do it, okay not just gonna burn through all my thirst/hunger for no effect, just learned to aim drunk lol

[warm remnant]

Uh... pack of regular dogs in darkscape, apparently

[north turret]

the cheeki breeki sharpshooter experience™️ is being drugged and heavily injured at the same time
practically blind

[shadow sapphire]

Then have your armor stop a headshot so you are concussed.

[shadow sapphire]

How even?!?!

[north turret]

AI has a hard time with dogs and Snorks in my experience

[warm remnant]

I dont know! She and my other bro went to fight a pack, so i assumed they'd be fine, i go to buy something at that one guy in the house and then her health just slowly drops, before i can react

So tbf maybe psydogs joined in or something

[shadow sapphire]

accurate, but he got the near invincible hip killed

[true folio]

Is there a reason why me (mercenary) am enemies with Duty on my PDA but when I look at them in game they are neutral to me?

[warm remnant]

Ye, and i will not have the cutie harmed, so i had to reload back to start of darkscape

[north turret]

are you disguised?

[shadow sapphire]

What armor are you wearing?

[true folio]

merc seva suit

That's why i'm confused

[versed tusk]

dynamic factions, yes?

[true folio]

yes

Do I turn it off then?

[versed tusk]

your relations are whacky and that will not bring them back iirc. I still dont know why they dont shoot you

[true folio]

Maybe it needs to be -2000?

I'm not sure how to check it

[versed tusk]

i'm bad with relation numbers, but iirc the shoot on sight was -200? someone enlighten us

[shadow sapphire]

Ill be honest I have no answer, as I never use it. I think the breakpoint is -500

[true folio]

Oh also ignore my relations with clear sky and ecologists, I don't want to talk about that

[worthy slate]

I can't seem to find this stash in rostok, anybody have a clue where it is?

[versed tusk]

you basically have achieved that no one will work/talk to you - gg i guess

[true folio]

Ah I can speak to mercs and freedom that's about all lol

[shadow sapphire]

Also youre not enemies with duty, mercs are, but your standing is actually +60 which is neutral territory.

[true folio]

This one is the box next to voronin or who ever is the leader in there should be a green box I think

[shadow sapphire]

It like behind him in his little cubby hole

[true folio]

Wait so just having +60 goodwill makes me neutral?

[shadow sapphire]

... yeah.

[plush falcon]

Hi, I updated gamma to the latest version but now it crashes when the game window is focused. Has anyone else experienced this?

[shadow sapphire]

!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.

[north turret]

even without Dynamic Relations?
so, going in with a disguise to do a few tasks every now and then to upkeep goodwill will keep enemies friendly?

[true folio]

...Thats weird I thought it would be like the relation then take away your goodwill then that will be your relation with duty

[worthy slate]

This one? If it is I can't access it

[shadow sapphire]

!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

[plush falcon]

Thank you Larkin!

[true folio]

Ah no it'll be the one on the table

[tidal raft]

Dynamic Faction relations?

[true folio]

Yah

[shadow sapphire]

Isnt there one like on the dresser, or the dresser itself.

[frank robin]

I think I brought this issue up yesterday: the one where looted stalker PDAs vanish when trying to look at them. I had a quest to use the RF receiver and find a missing squad in Wild Territory. I found the body, looted the PDA, and went back to turn in the quest. However, I realized I wasn't able to turn the quest in, despite having the PDA. When right clicking on the PDA and selecting view, it still just vanished from my inventory and, instead, just displayed my normal PDA.

[worthy slate]

Nope

Can't access it

[true folio]

Wait sorry

[warm remnant]

It is that one, go around and acces it from the grate

[true folio]

My coc stashes were tingling

[warm remnant]

Don't know why, but that works for me

[tidal raft]

Read from here: #╟📸screenshots message

[shadow sapphire]

Try this. Unequip your PDA, make a save, load save, re-equip PDA, then see what happens. Also are you 100% sure youre not holding nimbles PDA and forgot to pick up the quest one.

[shadow sapphire]

It has a really, really weird acces hitbox, you gotta fanagle it a bit.

[verbal birch]

Hey guys, when I alt tab, my music stop playing. Is there any fix for it? thx 🙂

[worthy slate]

Yup got it after a while

[frank robin]

I don't think I have Nimble's PDA. The RF receiver started going nuts when I found the Duty member's body, and it was the only one around at the time.

I can stream for you if you'd like.

[shadow sapphire]

Anomaly does not have play in background to my knowledge

[shadow sapphire]

Im at work so cant do that. But Try the reload thing I talked about, if it doesnt work debug in the quest pda

[frank robin]

When unequipping my PDA and then trying to equip the one I looted, the UI just refuses to allow me to click and drag it into the slot.

[shadow sapphire]

No I didnt say to try to equip that pda, I want you to save with your PDA slot empty and reload then put your PDA back

Basically I want to see if something is like weirdly trapped under the PDA

[frank robin]

Ah, I see. My mistake.

[pseudo salmon]

Stashes are totally random except for tools right? so if i need good guns and heavy armor, searching southern stashes is useful?

[warm remnant]

The further north you go the better they get

[frank robin]

I did precisely as you said, still acting weird.

[true folio]

So we should be at war because i'm past -1000, but i've only done one task for the faction, i've killed a couple doodee dudes and yet they still greet me like I'm not enemies with them, is it all because of that one task I did for them?

[shadow sapphire]

I mean tools are also random in a sense, the only time there are not is Green stashes will give you a tool of some kinds, but it could be a repair toolkit or a basic or advanced.

[shadow sapphire]

and on the reload there was nothing in the PDA slot?

[frank robin]

Nope, nothing at all.

[shadow sapphire]

Disable the mod called log spam remover, then make it break again and try to talk to quest giver and send me log and modlist please.

[tidal raft]

No. Mercenary faction Relation to Duty is still above 0.

Hence there is a truce.

[true folio]

Wait am I looking at the right one?

[shadow sapphire]

This is why I dont do dynamic factions.

[versed tusk]

do me a favour, search for pda in mo2's right hand window and show me which mod is influencing the pda script - just to humor me as I has also a pda issue, albeit a bit different

[frank robin]

Will do, give me a few minutes to figure out who gave me this quest to begin with.

[versed tusk]

ye no hurry

[tidal raft]

No, I looked at Military while deducing.
There should've been a message saying both factions declared war. If it hasn't happened yet, it will soon.

[true folio]

Yeah I think I maybe next game I'll play with dynamic faction relations off, or maybe test to see if -2000 is the true war being declared and -1000 is just a warning

But I know me being in Duty base i'm getting the 👀 from them as soon as they are allowed to shoot at me

[tidal raft]

Did you enable Fluid Relations as well?

[true folio]

I got shot by a duty dude randomly, I killed him and they didn't care

Is fluid relations in MO2?

Or in game

[tidal raft]

Mod Organiser.

[shadow sapphire]

Wait... the quest marker isnt telling you to turn in the quest?!

[frank robin]

Nope.

I can double back to make sure it was the right body, but I'm almost positive it was, else the RF receiver was beeping on the same frequency for something entirely different.

[true folio]

Would enabling fluid relations require me to start a new game or I can continue this one?

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah, what is the quest telling you to do right now?

[frank robin]

Find the missing squad.

[shadow sapphire]

If you right click the pda you found does it give the view option?

Dont click view, just do you have that option.

[frank robin]

Yes, I have the option.

[shadow sapphire]

Thats not the quest pda

[frank robin]

Hmm. That's... an interesting coincidence with the RF receiver then. To be honest, the weird PDA vanishing doesn't help with the confusion.

[limpid saddle]

Is dx10 still a no go on the latest gamma release?

[true folio]

I've switched it on but it did nothing, i'm guessing that's all I can try lol

[tidal raft]

No, it should stay off. It was a legitimate question if you did enable it.

[true folio]

...oh

[versed tusk]

dx9 is a no go - 8, 10 & 11 are fine

[true folio]

Well it was disabled before

[shadow sapphire]

@frank robin Quest PDAs will display down here not with devices, and when you right click them you only get those options.

[true folio]

Yeah I think i'll stick with no dynamic faction relations

[frank robin]

Gotcha. I'll double back and check agian. Sorry for the confusion. Is there anything you want from me to help with troubleshooting the vanishing issue?

[shadow sapphire]

If you can replicate it please send me a x-ray log and modlist

[sweet dagger]

can i use my save game backup pre-gamma in the gamma modpack? or do i need to start a new game? i've got about 20 addons installed on this playthrough

[tidal raft]

Do not mix add-ons.

[frank robin]

Shouldn't be too difficult let me try and locate the correct PDA and ensure that there are no other issues before sending you the logs.

[sweet dagger]

I mean, if I installed Gamma and used my savegame file would that work?

[tidal raft]

Backup the save, and start a new.

[sweet dagger]

Ah that sucks

I'll complete the game first then install Gamma

[brisk zinc]

Don't use multiple channels for the same question please

[tidal raft]

No, because there is data in that save which can be non-compatible with GAMMA.
You can try loading it, but if it crashes you can't do anything else but start a new file.

[brisk zinc]

You're asking in this one, stick to this channel

[sweet dagger]

Makes sense

[sweet dagger]

Aye boss man I understood from the first message you sent, I didnt see this text channel originally

[fair vigil]

how can i fast travel without paying money

[shadow sapphire]

By default you cant, however if you go into the mcm menu choose the limited fast travel mod and set tax to 0

[fleet citrus]

Anyone have any tutorials on how to use this health system, cant get my head around it

well the limb system

[brisk zinc]

!heal

[raw raft]

A quick video about how to basic heal yourself: #╭📖faq message

[pure scarab]

i recomend not changing that, since you will have enough money in mid-game for any fast travel

[frank robin]

@shadow sapphire Okay. The body I was actually looking for was just a few feet away behind one of those thick pillars in Wild Territory. I'm glad I actually went back because I found amazing loot on some Bandits and Mercs I had to kill along the way. I redid the vanishing PDA thing and these are the logs.

[shadow sapphire]

Awesome! I will take a look at these. But thats crazy that it was so close lol.

[versed tusk]

"0404","+","ZCP 1.5d"

this overwrites pda script

[frank robin]

It was by the cluster of burner anomalies before Yantar. Duty's stupid armor blended into the ground.

[versed tusk]

just like it did for me and iirc it shouldnt even be on

but 1.4

correct me if I'm wrong pls

[shadow sapphire]

No ZCP should not be on, and also custom mods were added at some point. But Ill still look at the log and see if there is insight at least. But in the future @frank robin you 100% are in #🔨modded-gamma-support territory, and no longer considered vanilla.

[versed tusk]

for me it was turning off 1.5 and tuning back on 1.4 - then i was able to use/view pdas again

[frank robin]

Gotcha. I'll keep that in mind for the future. It was big blunder on my part.

[versed tusk]

give it a gander

[shadow sapphire]

No worries! To be honest you have a very interesting log lol. But yeah unfortunately the issue is going to be changes you have made, and I now understand why I can not reproduce this issue. If you do decide to go back to a vanilla gamma I would recommend a delete and re-extract of anomaly itself.

[versed tusk]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[frank robin]

Oh? Interesting? I'll keep that in mind when I start doing my Monolith ironman runs. I've been tinkering with some mods on the list to figure out how I want to optimize the list for the experience I want.

Do you think I'll run into any corruption issues?

[shadow sapphire]

I dont know about corruption itself as in your save is scuffed. But you already have scripts trying to call things that dont exist, and some scripts not running.

[frank robin]

Hmm. Well, in that case, I think I'll poke around with the mod list a bit more and start a fresh new run to prevent any future issues from occurring. That way I don't bug the staff with any potential issues in the future that may be a result of this.

[versed tusk]

i tried

[shadow sapphire]

Just be careful with what you change, DO NOT turn on anything in disabled, and ask if you arent sure what the effect will be. GAMMA is 330mods by default now and that has to be very carefully balanced. Somethings cant just be turned off or on.

[frank robin]

Understood. I think I enabled ZCP by mistake, but I'll be more careful in the future.

[shadow sapphire]

No worries at all!

[frank robin]

RIP to this fat stash of loot I've hoarded, lol.

[lunar harbor]

@frank robin if you wanna test mods and stuff, just create an other save file of your run. Once you load a new mod in a save file, consider it gone forever

[mellow rapids]

Not sure which channel would be appropiate for this question, but how do I uninstall the whole of GAMMA and the 330 mods?

Is it enough just by deleting it's root folder or is there a better way?

[shadow sapphire]

Go to #🤖bot-commands type !delete

[sly moss]

what do i have to do to disable the feature where traders don't buy/sell armor and weapons? thats the one thing i dont like about vanilla gamma

[shadow sapphire]

go to #🤖bot-commands and type !vanilla

[plush nova]

Is there a channel or website that discusses the outfits/armor for this pack? Focusing on a type of tier list as it were, what's best, and so forth. Or are the outfits/armor still based on the vanilla anomaly?

[shadow sapphire]

They are nothing like vanilla in alot of cases, same outfits but rebalanced. You can type !spread in #🤖bot-commands but it may be outdated. You can always ask about outfits in here, or even #╟🔫loadouts If you are curious. Im not sure there really is a tierlist, and if there is there would be at least 2 as none of them really provide anomaly protection and ballistic protection in amazing numbers. GAMMA really encourages the use of different kits. I usually have 1 for general tasks/exploration/southzone that has good anomaly protection and decentish ballistic. And a seperate kit for the north or hardcore missions with exceptional ballistic.

[plush nova]

Aha, great feedback. Thank you.

[terse hawk]

is there any supplement repair items to go with the dvojak oil? from my math they're 35rubles/% so its always best to just use it solo

[shadow sapphire]

Cloth mask is literally the best item for any of the oils.

[terse hawk]

true that... but they're so rare and half the time i actually get like 90% parts from it

is there anything else besides the mask? i thought steel wool was good but they're like ~110 rubles/%

[shadow sapphire]

The mask isnt rare, just kill bandits, literally one 10 minute clear of cordon will net you like 3-6 masks. Also yes you do get cloth and synth from them but you will literally be swimming in cloth masks.

[lyric steeple]

holy crap i have like 30 of those things in my inv.

super good

[terse hawk]

maybe im just getting too lucky with the masks, i do get like 3-6 everytime i go to cordon but i always just disassemble them for the parts (that always ends up getting ruined anyways )

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah but trust me, you will have too much cloth and synth, military is the rare cloth the others you can get from almost any armor, bags, or helmets south of red.

[supple idol]

I think you can right click -> details repair items and see what supportive materials work with it

[frank robin]

@shadow sapphire Would you suggest deleting the mod folder and just redownloading Gamma as well?

Did the full reinstall of Anomaly + 1.5.2. update.

[fleet citrus]

are stashes that contain stuff super rare in this or something

[shadow sapphire]

No need to do GAMMA as the mods you added wouldnt have modified the mods, and gamma will re-extract from archives so even if they did should be safe.

[shadow sapphire]

!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.

@shadow sapphire am i only doing a update or do i gotta do a install as well?

[shadow sapphire]

Explain the circumstances

[soft niche]

isnt there a update?

[supple idol]

yes, if you want to update use update

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah there is, just making sure there wasnt an issue.

[soft niche]

[shadow sapphire]

Just use update

[soft niche]

aight

[shadow sapphire]

followed by only install

[soft niche]

REEEEEEEEEEEEE

[supple idol]

only install addons or w/e it is

why ree it takes 2 seconds

or just dont update

[soft niche]

only install gamma

[supple idol]

update gamma data then only install gamma add-ons

[soft niche]

REEEEEEE

the fact i gotta do the only install, not as long as full but still long

F

[supple idol]

Just dont update

if you are going to cry about it

it takes 5 minutes at most

[shadow sapphire]

I mean did you expect it to telepathically know you wanted to update and that it should download the files. Even then that would just save you a click..

[soft niche]

wish my computer could update itself while i'm at work

[tidal raft]

You can set an update schedule through Windows Update.

[soft niche]

not what we talking about

gamma update

[supple idol]

yes grok is not going to do that

thats retarded

just press the butttons to update if you want tto

if thats ttoo much work then dont update

wait for 1.0

[tidal raft]

You specifically said "computer could update itself".

[supple idol]

so spoilt honestly, you have an automated modpack installer

and you want it to automagically update for you also

instead of pressing two buttons

[shadow sapphire]

I mean you could just install an RDP client on your phone and then click the buttons. And before you ask no, I have no recommendations, and no I wont answer questions about that process.

[supple idol]

xdd

[tidal raft]

Just take the L gracefully.

[proud pawn]

at what point can I buy a kit to repair rifles? I haven't found advanced tools to craft one yet

[shadow sapphire]

Which kit, the Army rifle?

[tidal raft]

When you give a technician said tools.

[proud pawn]

yes sir

[supple idol]

yeah you need to give a tech advanced tool to be able to buy from them

[shadow sapphire]

Because if thats the case, after you give a technician advanced tools XD

[proud pawn]

lmao

rip

[shadow sapphire]

Very accurate

[tidal raft]

You're better off crafting the repair kit once you find advanced tools.

[supple idol]

you'll feel even worse when you are trying to get an expert toolkit
