[proud pawn]

im guessing I also need to give the advanced tools in order to get the medium repair kit?

[supple idol]

just craft it yourself

[versed tusk]

craft it over buying

[shadow sapphire]

Thats only because it doesnt actually exist until grok blesses your modpack.

[supple idol]

but yes you need advanced tools for medium repaiir

[proud pawn]

so I just gotta stock up on anti rad stuff to go north and find advanced tools?

[tidal raft]

Gather six Basic toolkits and you can craft an Advanced version.

[supple idol]

isnt it 5

pretty sure it was

[tidal raft]

One is left as backup.

[supple idol]

ah yeah i guess

[shadow sapphire]

Not if you want the basic tools youll still need afterwords.

[frank robin]

Just curious, is Solarint's JSRS v5 patch important?

[supple idol]

isnt it disabled by default

it is

[frank robin]

Yeah, just thought to ask.

[supple idol]

theres a lot disabled, some stuff is stuff that causes crashes and shit

no idea why this is disabled but theres probably a good reason and you'd be best to leave it 🙂

[tidal raft]

Anything under the Disabled separator must not be touched.

[supple idol]

this isnt under that seperator

i have some non vanilla shit here but its here

[graceful iron]

its supposed to be there

[supple idol]

yeah not sure why this seperator exists, it has no name

[tidal raft]

Okay.. And then you compare what I said to your list...

[supple idol]

I havent moved anything

its in the same spot it would be if someone installed gamma fresh

[graceful iron]

read it again

[supple idol]

yours is in the same spot prove me wrong

[graceful iron]

[versed tusk]

[shadow sapphire]

The 261 seperator is fake. Doesnt count. Newly added stuff goes in the seperator called newly added.

[supple idol]

Okay, I understand, anything under, not anything within that seperator 🙂

[shadow sapphire]

And I swear if the newly added stuff doesn't go in the separator grok added for newly added mods I am going to bitch to Cat at least 1x per day about it. Will it fix anything no, but it will be funny.

[graceful iron]

wait what?

[frank robin]

Cool, thanks for the clarification peeps.

[grim wadi]

Question I recently start aq uest from the military as eco
Told me to find docs in the agroprom dungeon

[tidal raft]

There is no question yet.

[grim wadi]

Fair where in gods name are the docs

[tidal raft]

Underground.

[shadow sapphire]

I was drinking. Now I have to clean my desk.

[grim wadi]

Ive been to clear sky agroprom underground aka one you flood.
Nothing there, went to streloks fun cave and found an item that I used. But past that ive not found any docs

[tidal raft]

Then you missed it in his "fun cave". Go back.

It's a white briefcase.

[grim wadi]

it was in the wall safe

Speak of the devil

[tidal raft]

And what did you do with said briefcase?

[soft niche]

uhhh

all my tasks are gone......

[grim wadi]

gonna bring it the mr military man himself

[tidal raft]

Load an earlier save.

[terse hawk]

do gun part condition translate to realistic results? like if the spring is crap then the gun jams more?

[shadow sapphire]

Yes. Damaged barrel less accuracy and damage on target, other cause jams.

[terse hawk]

is it only jams?

[terse sun]

yo, todays hotfix is game data update + addons only right?

[supple idol]

yes

[blazing basin]

Am i supposed to get a followup task from hip after i gave her the toz? she wants me to get some snork hands but i never got a task for it

[tidal raft]

It is not a tracked task.

[blazing basin]

gotcha, thanks

[supple idol]

yes, pretty sure thats the case otherwise there'd have to be even more animations

[shadow sapphire]

... Did you read what I sent. Barrel causes reduction in accuracy and damage.

[supple idol]

i think they are expecting more types of malfunctions

[terse hawk]

kk yeah i meant more than jams + damage/acc

[primal mica]

i already went to streloks hideout before talking to doctor

do i seriously have to go all the way back

i have the military docs

[supple idol]

yes

[tidal raft]

There is a different set of documents for his storyline.

[primal mica]

ohh ok

hoping i don't get jumped by another pack of goons this time around

[soft niche]

@shadow sapphire who is the guy i bring vodka too?

[shadow sapphire]

Spirit in yantar

Hes the trader there

[tidal raft]

The bandits don't respawn in the underground.

[soft niche]

how many is it he needs?

[shadow sapphire]

I believe 5 or 6 bottles. Let me check

[soft niche]

does it matter which vodka?

[tidal raft]

Nemiroff, iirc.

At least for the lower tier stuff. The high-grade requires Putinka.

[shadow sapphire]

Red one, and I am pretty sure it is 20 uses

[terse sun]

huh, I have about 1/3 of psy resistance right now (1/3 of the whole bar) and I just got ambushed by a controller, he zapped me 4 times already and I didn't lose psy health, this shouldn't be normal right?

[shadow sapphire]

difficulty settings?

[terse sun]

hard/survivalist

[shadow sapphire]

Screenshot of inv please?

Also did you take the morning shot of vodki?

[terse sun]

no vodka today 😄

[shadow sapphire]

Any extra mods? Modified settings on damage?

[tidal raft]

Mz80 gives a lot of psy resist.

[terse sun]

I even lied, it's not even 1/3 psy res, more like 1/4

no extra mods, purely vanilla gamma

[shadow sapphire]

Wait, your psy health bar is off.

[terse sun]

if I close the inventory, it pops back out

[shadow sapphire]

Do you have the log spam remover mod on or off? (Its on by default for now)

[terse sun]

it's completely stock as per the gamma mo2 profile

[tidal raft]

Meizu has an Mz-80 mask, it has lots of psy resist as I said—and it is most likely fully upgraded which grants even more resistance.

[shadow sapphire]

Enough to tank 4 controller hits, but show 1/3 of the bar?

[terse sun]

hmm it only says 12% on my tooltip

[velvet root]

Hi all, i got a question i got the following task: "Explorers: find four anomalous samples in Pripyat and outskirts" problem is i cant find it... does someone done this mission before? i got 3 samples but one is missing and isnt shown on the map... i dont really have the nerves to go to every location in Pripyat and Outskirts to search for that one Artefact...

[tidal raft]

And outfit?

[terse sun]

and that's an m50z gasmask

outfit is the ace seva merc

[shadow sapphire]

Oh

[tidal raft]

Semantics.

[shadow sapphire]

Im pretty sure the ace has decent resist.

[terse sun]

I thought there's another higher rank model out there in gamma lol

[tidal raft]

Also a lot of psy resist iirc.

[terse sun]

ok so ace has another 15%

so that and the 12 makes it 27%

but bear in mind, my psy health didn't drop at all during those attacks

[tidal raft]

That is well enough to tank a few controller shots.

[shadow sapphire]

so your total is 27% psy resist and do you have the helmet?

[terse sun]

yes and the psy helmet I do have

wait does psy helmet actually do anything here?

[tidal raft]

No.

It only acts as a key to access the northern regions.

[terse sun]

yeah thought as much

[tidal raft]

27% is still quite a lot of resistance for Psi attacks. Not sure if you completely nullified them or if the engine bugged out though.

[terse sun]

I'm kinda bamboozled, also I've spent quite a few game reloads from the game starting to act up on me, the weapon running animation gets weird and I cannot turn in quests for some weird reason, though now it works fine except for this thing with the controller which I find a bit weird being able to completely tank it's attack without losing a single bar of psy health

it all started like maybe 2 updates ago

perhaps I should run a full game installation to make sure?

[shadow sapphire]

I swear to god, and maybe its a different mod but I remember psy helmets adding base resistance.

[tidal raft]

You can try spawning different controllers with debug first and see if it is repeatable.

[tidal raft]

Vanilla Anomaly had that.

[terse sun]

maybe a weird question, but does the controller attack strength vary from one mutant to another in gamma?

[tidal raft]

Yes.

[terse sun]

oh

maybe that's the answer

[tidal raft]

You can tell by the suffix in debug.

[terse sun]

maybe I'm handling a noob controller right now in jupiter

[shadow sapphire]

Ill add it to my testing list and get to it today or tomorrow, ill test all, but my assumption is weak controller plus 27% psy resist.

[terse sun]

yeah

[tidal raft]

Was he wearing only jeans?

[terse sun]

he does seem quite naked yeah

[tidal raft]

It is weak. The weakest.

[supple idol]

does the strong one have a trench coat or smth

i thought i saw one with a trench coat

[terse sun]

thanks for the info, didn't know that 🙂

[supple idol]

but i dont know if i misremember

[shadow sapphire]

There is a trench coat one yes.

[tidal raft]

The middle ground has a trenchcoat, the strongest has long hair.

[shadow sapphire]

And he sucks.

[tidal raft]

Well, they all suck with the right strategy.

[terse sun]

it's funny, cos even the snork phantoms deal way more psy damage than that noob controller

[tidal raft]

Phantoms are jacked up lately, maybe surpassing some lower level psi-mutants.

[shadow sapphire]

Again different strengths too

[terse sun]

with snorks I quite literally have to shoot the phantoms to not get close to me, especially if I'm dealing with a few snorks at a time, shooting up phantoms, like the yantar factory, quite intense 🙂

so amazing!

so apparently this was the controller I was able to tank without taking psy damage

[shadow sapphire]

Youre engine bugged. Tested on mine He 4 shots in your gear

[terse sun]

I knew it

how can I unbug this thing?

[shadow sapphire]

It should be fine, if you are worried close and open game.

I am gonna add a psy helmet real quick just to make sure nothing weird there

[terse sun]

k cool

thanks for taking your time man

[shadow sapphire]

No difference with helmet.

So yeah just xray being xray

[terse sun]

I reloaded now and will play a bit longer, but if it still persists (also that weird stuff with not being able to turn in quests), I'll probably just reinstall

[hard trout]

alright

uploading now

[shadow sapphire]

!modlist

[raw raft]

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

[supple idol]

[shadow sapphire]

?

[shadow sapphire]

When did you last update gamma?

[hard trout]

just today

i have never played it yet

[raw raft]

Tag "version" successfully created.

[shadow sapphire]

!version

[raw raft]

Go to your \GAMMA RC3\.Grok's Modpack Installer Folder and tell open version.txt

Tag "version" successfully edited.

[hard trout]

606

[shadow sapphire]

And then you made a bunch of changes yes?

Because that is not the default gamma mod list.

[hard trout]

i had to download dux and enable that also BAS

[shadow sapphire]

Ok, are you trying to run a custom list (Its fine, you will just need to go to #🔨modded-gamma-support channel and ask for help there) OR are you trying to run the GAMMA vanilla mod list, because that has Mods not in gamma on it, a completely incorrect load order and tons of things enabled that should not be.

[hard trout]

i was just trying to play gamma

[shadow sapphire]

Ok

Do you remember or know how the load order got changed?

Im gonna help you get this back to normal, but it might take us a little bit, and questions.

[hard trout]

no i dont i restarted MO2 after installing dux and bas and this is how it was

[shadow sapphire]

No worries. Did you use the portable instance of MO2 or a global instance.

[hard trout]

portable

[shadow sapphire]

Ok, did you change any settings in mo2 or literally try to add dux and BaS and hit play?

[hard trout]

literally try to add dux and bas and hit play

[shadow sapphire]

Close MO2, close anomaly as well if you have it open. First send a screenshot of your anomaly folder please.

[shadow sapphire]

Excellent. What are the file paths for gamma and anomaly?

[hard trout]

elaborate a tiny bit do you mean where are the files

[shadow sapphire]

Yes. (i.e. E:/GAMMA and E:/Anomaly)

[supple idol]

go to the folder they are in and you can click the bar at the top to get file path easy

[shadow sapphire]

Ok and the anomaly one is just like that as well?

[hard trout]

anomaly is in stalker gamma

[shadow sapphire]

Ok Thats fine

What was the reason you manually installed dux and BaS?

And thanks, I can bet this is frustrating, and I know it seems like im asking a million questions. But it will go faster for me to ask now and then tell you how to fix it, instead of guessing.

[hard trout]

in the channel where it says make sure you have 330 mods enabled before launch i also noticed the two recommended to be downloaded manually i only had 197 after install of both i ended with 330 so i assumed nothing of it

[shadow sapphire]

Ok, that helps alot actually.

What windows version do you have?

[hard trout]

10 i believe

[shadow sapphire]

Is the start button bottom left or center?

[hard trout]

left

[shadow sapphire]

Ok excellent. Did you run the installer as admin?

[hard trout]

yes

[shadow sapphire]

You followed the link from #old-how-to to download MAGS and Dux Right?

[hard trout]

yes

[shadow sapphire]

Excellent. Last question, Anomaly was also a fresh download correct?

[hard trout]

anomaly was a fresh download however i didnt do that part for mags and dux the dux i had to download was Duxs_Innumerable_Character_Kit.28 (1).7z

[shadow sapphire]

I apologize it was BaS and Dux.

And you used 7zip or winrar to extract gamma and anomaly?

[hard trout]

7z

[shadow sapphire]

You get a cookie for that. Okay good news this is totally fixable. Bad news Im going to basically help you reinstall the pack. IMPORTANT: Anything downloaded will NOT be redownloaded so it wont take super long.

[fair vigil]

how do i get rid of radiation on my character

[shadow sapphire]

I want you to open GAMMA Installer as admin. Tell me what version it is, look for the small number next to the orange text, left side.

[hard trout]

3.7

[shadow sapphire]

Can you send a screen shot of your whole inventory.

[hard trout]

sorry im also trying to eat so my response times may very

[shadow sapphire]

Update GAMMA Data and let me know if you see any errors. and no worries, ill be around for another 2 hours almost, and we will get it fixed.

[hard trout]

it jumped straight to GAMMA data are up to date

[shadow sapphire]

Excellent, now Full GAMMA Install

I promise it wont take an hour like the first time, as I said it only downloads mods that are different versions than what you have in the GAMMA downloads folder

[hard trout]

it is dling again now

[shadow sapphire]

If you see any errors in the cmd window (the black box) or the installer take a screenshot and let me know.

[fair vigil]

@shadow sapphire

[shadow sapphire]

My man, thats your radiation resistance.

[fair vigil]

ohhh

[shadow sapphire]

Radiation will show in the bottom left corner there is a bar for it, or if you buy/craft a geiger counter you can hit 8

[warped ginkgo]

https://tenor.com/view/socialka-papich-social-credit-папич-gif-23901890

[hard trout]

well for right now its sitting on instructions solving for BaS

nvm right as soon as i said something it moved on

[shadow sapphire]

Haha yeah sometimes that can happen

[wicked pebble]

Pretty dumb question, but what is the key to enter the crafting menu? I couldn't find it in the settings.

[shadow sapphire]

There isnt one? You need a basic toolkit

[wicked pebble]

Oh huh.

[shadow sapphire]

Then you right click it and say use

[wicked pebble]

I'll look for one of those then, thank you. I wasn't aware.

[shadow sapphire]

Im going to assume you are new to stalker, and definitely new to GAMMA?

[wicked pebble]

Stalker itself nope, Gamma? Yep.

[hard trout]

side note with gamma you can make your own lil hideout right?

[shadow sapphire]

If you are make sure you read #│📚manual There is a copy on your PDA.

Yes you can.

[hard trout]

you see this is why i wanted the mod

[wicked pebble]

You start with a PDA? I thought I'd have to go out and buy one.

Oh..

[hard trout]

i came home from work and here i am after the install smacked me 😂

[wicked pebble]

It isn't equipped at first, I see.

[hard trout]

https://tenor.com/view/skeleton-punch-critical-hit-gif-23551191

@wicked pebble

[wicked pebble]

I've been playing it like morrowind and just going to the places mentioned and killing mutants then returning lol.

[shadow sapphire]

LOL, Its been a minute for a stalker game I am guessing?

[terse hawk]

is there anything i should know enabling mags besides being permanent on that save, is there any bugs/crashes associated with it?

[wicked pebble]

I haven't played in a while yeah, though I remember enough on how to get around and accomplish the basic "Go here, kill that in west of garbage" tasks.

[hard trout]

well on the brightside kat you have your pda now

[shadow sapphire]

I mean not to my knowledge but I dont use it lol. No it should be safe, and most of the time we are still willing to help in vanilla channels.

[wicked pebble]

What a joy, now I can read things on it by a campfire

[shadow sapphire]

Oh. Well just so you know in GAMMA basically every single core system has been changed.

[wicked pebble]

I've noticed!

Threw me for a loop when my leg was damaged and it wouldn't heal.

[hard trout]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-glass-paper-break-gif-18384377

[shadow sapphire]

Thats nothing. Seriously, all ballistics have been redone, damage redone, equipment redone, crafting redone, artifacts redone etc. etc.

[shadow sapphire]

Just an FYI careful posting gifs if they arent in #🎪bruh-fart some mods will say something especially if these channels are busy.

[hard trout]

the installer is frozen and doing "modpack specific modifications" right now

alright it just finished up

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah that step can take a minute. Let it chill.

[wicked pebble]

Yeah I figured out how to fix my leg thankfully, just been running around with an SKS hunting mutants. Great hunting rifle really.

[shadow sapphire]

Okay great, now open mo2

[shadow sapphire]

Youre spending 7.62 on mutants?

Oh god

[supple idol]

using shotgun is much cheaper

7.62 is for killing stalkers

[warped ginkgo]

yeah only i have the perms to shitpost where i want

[hard trout]

alright it is open

[shadow sapphire]

Get the new modlist and send it to me, lets see if its fixed.

[terse sun]

huh what the heck, my acog scope is all of a sudden closed, how do I reopen it?

[shadow sapphire]

Im sorry, what.

I need a picture of this.

[terse sun]

literally yeah

[wicked pebble]

To answer you both, I have indeed been using 7.62 FMJ on mutants.. I found a pump action shotgun, but I'm still in the process of trying to find all the parts to fix it.

I did manage to find a glock with a suppressor I fixed up. I've been using that to take out bandits

[supple idol]

thats fair enough you cant start with sks and a shotgun on survivalist

But I did when I was on easier difficulties

[terse sun]

lol

[supple idol]

what if you press v twice does that help

[warped ginkgo]

were you trying the hud editor in game?

[terse sun]

no I swear I'm not touching shit lol

I'm getting funny stuff every couple minutes lately

[terse sun]

it does nothing but then I have switched keybinds, what should V be doing by default again?

[shadow sapphire]

Mostly fixed we are going to make 2 tiny changes.

[supple idol]

it should change sights but not sure if it works with all weapons just suggesting random shit 🙂

[terse sun]

ok, manually detaching the scope and reattaching fixed it

lol and that happened in a middle of a monolith fight and my last save is like 15 minutes away

[hard trout]

im waiting btw @shadow sapphire just to letya know im still here

[shadow sapphire]

In MO2 I want you to move MAGS tp ne netweem Area Transition without confirmation and Ironman Roguelite in the optional section. Then I want you to move Dux to be between Blackjack and Fixed Vanilla in the visual section

[wicked pebble]

Oh, its sounding like cooking is rather important. I suppose a stalker can't subsist off of bread crumbs and beard's tea alone forever.

[terse sun]

I'm also crashing hard right now @ limansk, damn, I'm gonna try just reinstalling the game, see what happens

[shadow sapphire]

In GAMMA any non cooked food is nerfed. Cooked food with vodka gives buffs

[shadow sapphire]

Brah how even the scope

[terse sun]

what's the "!" command for reinstall info again?

[shadow sapphire]

its !delete

[terse sun]

yeah it's all out ouf whack it seems

[shadow sapphire]

Oh that was a shader issue

It wasnt closed lol

[terse sun]

no idea what it was but no matter where I went it was black though it still had light reflections on it

so not completely broken

but still broken 😄

[wicked pebble]

Actually having a PDA with a list of guides is incredibly useful lol, so thank you again whoever it was that mentioned such

[hard trout]

okay so run this by me one more time where am i moving these items?

i found the items in question im just confused where you want them moved

is this a tier list like MAGS>AREA>IRON

[shadow sapphire]

So in MO2 your literally gonna drag and drop the mods Exactly how I say: move MAGS to be between Area Transition without confirmation and Ironman Roguelite in the optional section. Then I want you to move Dux to be between Blackjack and Fixed Vanilla in the visual section

Mags < Than Area but > Then Iron

if that helps

do it would look like this:

Area
MAGS
Iron

Blackjack
Dux
Fixed Vanilla

[hard trout]

they were already in that order tho

[shadow sapphire]

Oh in the list you sent they arent. Wait for some reason you have extra copies of both at the bottom. Make sure those are turned off

[hard trout]

they are so the main one for mags should it be checked?

cause i have two mag reduxs

one is the EFT and the other is jam

[shadow sapphire]

Make sure they are both off, and it says 330 at the top

[hard trout]

☑️

[shadow sapphire]

I would honestly delete the EFT one

Ok if it says 330 at the top hit play in the top right

[brisk zinc]

@shadow sapphire I'm trying to understand what you need to do, is this about sorting the mod list?

[hard trout]

should i change it from anomaly launcher to DX11 or just launch that way

[brisk zinc]

DX11

[hard trout]

-avx at the end correct?

[brisk zinc]

You can if you want to

[shadow sapphire]

No, we figured it out. For some reason his install went all kinds of sideway and had a totally borked list, but after install he some how wound of with 2 mags and 2 dux, I thought they were just in the wrong order and was going to re-order those two correctly, but turns out he has 2 copies of each.

[hard trout]

its launching stand by

[shadow sapphire]

His first list is the craziest one someone has ever sent me.

[hard trout]

well its not like i intentionally wanted it that way

[shadow sapphire]

Haha I know and thats whats crazy to me

[hard trout]

It WORKS!!

[shadow sapphire]

Normally when we get a messed up list its because people wanted to try something, you are the first person for me, who legit followed all of the instructions and is like it gave me this.

[hard trout]

tysm for helping tho i work kinda long days its nice someone could help in a relatively short amount of time

now here is where i prolly break something because im a filthy weirdo who wants the debug commands lol

[shadow sapphire]

Anytime. Its a very unique thing with gamma, but there is usually people around to help get it fixed here. As for debug lol just go to #🤖bot-commands and type !debug it will tell you exactly what to do

[hard trout]

that brings up the ability to spawn items correct?

i just want to test some out and see how it feels and looks with the mod

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah it does, and no worries. I dont judge how anyone plays the game, its a whole point of a modpack like this is so you can play how you want.

[hard trout]

👍

if your down i might add you, You have been super helpful during all of this!

[minor star]

Quick question, could disabling core 0 bring a couple problems/bugs to the game?

Ever since performing the steps to disable I've been experiencing some bugs here and there, and I now I have a slightly different mod order, but none of those problems existed before I disabled core 0

[supple idol]

Pretty sure no

How do you have a different load order

[shadow sapphire]

It shouldnt no, and it definetly would not change your mod order

[minor star]

I meant I enabled some mods that are not enabled by default, but the problems started after disabling core 0

[supple idol]

what did you enable

[minor star]

Tho I did get my answer, maybe something is just broken on my playthrough

[supple idol]

and what problems are you having

[minor star]

As of right now the only problem I have is my detector randomly disappearing from my inventory

It often happens after sleeping

[shadow sapphire]

If your load order is wrong that could happen

[minor star]

Hmmm

I'm gonna try doing a full install and starting again, maybe I get rid of the bugs by doing that

[terse sun]

welcome to the club!

[supple idol]

I think just using only install gamma addons

will fix your MO list maybe

and then it should stay fine, disabling core 0 did not modify your mod list i think it is not likely to happen again

[minor star]

I tried installing gamma addons, it didn't fix anything

[hard ridge]

So I know if I give followers a gun, they'll use it, but will they use anything else that I give them? e.g. armors, NVGs, etc?

[supple idol]

why do you think something is in the wrong order idk how you would have noticed that

maybe things arent in the wrong order but im not sure

[shadow sapphire]

Anything but armor basically

[jagged kettle]

I am having so much trouble progressing. It seems like everything I find, the guns are ruined and parts are constantly under %60. I want to move north but I only have a pistol and shotgun. Help please LOL

[shadow sapphire]

Send a modlist and I can tell you if its right

[supple idol]

Have you found basic tools?

From looting stashes?

[minor star]

No that was a mistake on my part, I meant to say I had some things enabled, not a different order

[terse sun]

keep playing, keep looting, loot goblin mode, sooner or later you will be able to scrounge something up

[supple idol]

Then what did you enable sorry not sure if u said?

[shadow sapphire]

Do you have one of these enabled: ZCP 1.5 or Ironman Roguelite

[jagged kettle]

@supple idol i have not 😦

[supple idol]

Do you know how stashes work and been looting any?

[terse sun]

also, get an RF receiver and grab those packages

[minor star]

Turn this on if you stutter, Blindsides knife anims, graupel's winter mod, NPC cannot see through foliage and I think that's it

[supple idol]

thats optional, I hate that shit personally

[jagged kettle]

I know they have good loot but not sure exactly how they work

[supple idol]

!manual

[terse sun]

me too, me too - but it's useful early on

[supple idol]

@jagged kettle you should read the manual in game on your PDA

[shadow sapphire]

#│📚manual

[supple idol]

There's a gamma section

Or that yeah

You need to loot stashes which have good shit as well as toolkits, with toolkits you can make repair kits, the earliest you can which is decent is historic gun repair kit, you can use that to repair some older guns like SKS

[jagged kettle]

YES I saved an SKS

[supple idol]

Then you can do a lot more with an advanced toolkit which you can get lucky in getting from a stash, or craft from 5 basic toolkits

SKS is good you want the PU scope with it

[jagged kettle]

so i have 100k just buy stashes like crazy>

[supple idol]

PU scope is pretty cheap I think Sid the Rookie Village basement fucker sells I believe

[shadow sapphire]

You should have some

[supple idol]

You can but I dont buy stashses

[hard ridge]

So if I give them spare NODs they'll be able to see / shoot better at dark, or they'll use them instead of headlamps?

[shadow sapphire]

Youve been doing tasks?

[supple idol]

You get stash locations from doing quests, looting stalkers

and from PDAs of other stalkers

[shadow sapphire]

Theyll use them, the will still turn on lamp and I dont think it actually helps, but they will eat your batteries lol

[jagged kettle]

ok

[shadow sapphire]

Look on your map there will be little white and green circles with 3 gold bars in them

[jagged kettle]

I really just need to move north more

ok

[shadow sapphire]

the bars arent gold, they just look like a sill\houette

[supple idol]

no you havent looted any stashes

[shadow sapphire]

No you dont need to move north

[supple idol]

You dont need to go north yet at all

[shadow sapphire]

WAIT

What are you calling north?

[shadow sapphire]

You turned off barrys right>

[minor star]

Yeah, it's off

[jagged kettle]

garbage?

[supple idol]

You can play in garbage and stuff

Rostok and south is all pretty fine

You dont need to stay in cordon

[shadow sapphire]

so you have 332 mods?

[supple idol]

but you just need to do quests and get stash locattions

and go to areas where you have a few stashes and loot them to get things going

[shadow sapphire]

When you say north we all think of everything from red forest up

Can you send a screenshot of your map zoomed out?

[supple idol]

yes that is where areas get a lot harder but those are also areas you can get expert toolkit

[jagged kettle]

where do the screenshots save?

[supple idol]

just press CTRL V

in discord

after clicking chat box

[jagged kettle]

ah right prnt screen

[supple idol]

yes print screen copies screenshot then u can just paste here

[minor star]

Enabled: Graupel, Turn this on if you stutter, Blindsides knife anims, NPC's cannot see through foliage
Disabled: Log spam remover, Inspect on double tap F and Darkasleif's stop selling docs

[minor star]

From what I understand none should affect gameplay all that much

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah you should be fine, if you want send me a log and ill see if there is something weird, but honestly it probably wont help.

[jagged kettle]

i found a compression bag in this stash LOL

[supple idol]

Its small for some reason and hard to see but looks like you have stashes in agrorprom to west

[minor star]

I can try sending a log next time I notice a bug going on

[supple idol]

yeah its a lottery but you will get basic toolkit almsots 100% within 10 stashes

[jagged kettle]

ok

[supple idol]

and 10 stashes is a lot really it wont take that many ever IME

[jagged kettle]

ill run there

[minor star]

For now I finished a new install just in case and I will start a new run, I have a slight feeling my current run is just borked somehow

[supple idol]

agroprom is kind of dangerous btw 😛

[jagged kettle]

oh god lOL

[hard ridge]

Basic toolkit took me longer than the advanced, once I had the basic.

[supple idol]

maybe im just shit but i find it to be one of the most dangerous soutehrn places

[hard ridge]

All uphill from there

[supple idol]

a lot of mutants and some pretty strong ones but you can certainly be okay

[shadow sapphire]

You dont have any in Dark valley or swamp?

Darkscape*

[jagged kettle]

i grabbed what i had in swamp...I took a quest and killed this big group with my pistol

now...

im on the "clear the south eastern farmstead from Renegade stalkers" and omg I cant compete

[supple idol]

yeah the renegades are pretty strong

theres like 10 of them

[shadow sapphire]

How many stashes have you opened?

[supple idol]

maybe im shit tho

[jagged kettle]

thats the swamp

[supple idol]

yeah u got nothjing there

[jagged kettle]

ok

this is embarrassing

3

[supple idol]

its surprising you have so much money and so few stashes and no basic toolkit

i guess you can buy some stashes if you wanted

[jagged kettle]

i thiink thats my problem

ok

[terse sun]

guys what's the default FOV setting?

[supple idol]

its not like its a huge waste and u really need them

[jagged kettle]

yea i do

[shadow sapphire]

80

[supple idol]

its hard to read all your screenshots but you cant really be doing anything wrong so long as you are doing tasks and looting stalkers and reading their pdas if they have them (if they are locked bring to technicina/mechanic npc)

You can shoot low caliber ammo into stalkers and get them to surrender when low hp

[jagged kettle]

okay, thanks man

[terse sun]

I completely reinstalled the game, along with the anomaly folder and my fov just miraculously set to 48.8

[supple idol]

then hold up and talk to them to get them to give stash locations

[terse sun]

like, what's going on lol

[supple idol]

but thats a sweaty tactic and not needed

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah you are honestly getting unlucky, with stash drops, youve done 23 tasks so you should probably have about 10-15 stashes on map, which you do, just most in agro, yantar, or dark valley.

Do you have any green ones?

[jagged kettle]

nah all white

[shadow sapphire]

Also have you found a shotgun called a TOZ 194

[jagged kettle]

I DIDNT!!!! LOL I did immediately on my other playthrough

[shadow sapphire]

How much red bottle vodka do you have?

[jagged kettle]

just 1

[shadow sapphire]

Dang

Man RNGesus just hates you.

[jagged kettle]

i used them 😦

[shadow sapphire]

Oh no!

[jagged kettle]

i had 3 at one point

why?

[shadow sapphire]

You can trade a few of them to a dude for basic toolkits

[terse sun]

so I just threw a grenade, and my FOV got set back to 48.8 again

[supple idol]

spirit does that?

or w/e the fuk hes called?

[shadow sapphire]

You can also give hip in rookie village that toz to get a basic toolkit

[supple idol]

every time i go to yantar i dont come across him so i never spoke to him ever

[terse sun]

I'm being trolled

[shadow sapphire]

Hes the drunk trader

IN base

[jagged kettle]

does the toolkit degrade? or is it infinite

[supple idol]

oh okay

I just didnt realize then somehow

I must have spoke to him and missed his name and options

infinite

[shadow sapphire]

Lol no worries. I think you have to ask him something before he shows his trades

[soft niche]

what attachments can go on the ak-74N?
i want to put a red dot and suppressor on it but the ones i bought didnt work

[supple idol]

that would be rather cruel if they expired

[shadow sapphire]

Right click show details

Or it will say under the description

[supple idol]

You can also mouse over a weapon when in like trader inventorry and it will highlight any mods its compatible with

[terse sun]

now my game crashed while I was looting a monolith corpse (cries inside)

[shadow sapphire]

But I can list off a few from the top of my head, PSO, Kobra, OKP-7, 1P78, 1P29

[terse sun]

now every transition to my inventory I do is causing massive stuttering, and I'm far away from any stashes, @ limansk currently at the radiowave station

[shadow sapphire]

Is this after the reinstall?

[terse sun]

yeah

[shadow sapphire]

Same save, or new save?

[terse sun]

it's the same save, but I'm so deep into the game atm it would be a major pain to restart, the save worked though right until yesterday but performance constantly dropped with stuttering since the last 2 updates

excluding todays hotfix

[shadow sapphire]

No worries. How many stashes do you have?

[terse sun]

right now about 4 in rostok

[shadow sapphire]

Unlimted or no?

[jagged kettle]

omg i found the toz

[shadow sapphire]

Take that to hip right now! You will also need 20 12GA Buckshot

[terse sun]

limited

[shadow sapphire]

hmmmmm. How full?

Did you turn up ZCP at all?

[terse sun]

so 2 of 4 stashes are about 250/400kg, 1 is about 120/400 and then fourth one is 2/400

not sure what ZCP is though

[shadow sapphire]

in the mcm settings menu did you change anything?

[terse sun]

nothing, only keybinds, and that only goes for disabling the free zoom, or rather shifting it to numeric "+" sign

[shadow sapphire]

hmmmm

IF you dont mind, why dont you zip up your save and send it to me, you can dm me for that and lets see if its laggy for me too.

[terse sun]

good idea

[shadow sapphire]

Then we know if its something with your stuff or if the save is scuffed.

[terse sun]

yeah, that's a great idea 🙂

I'm very curious to find out

[shadow sapphire]

me too at this point

[terse sun]

you want me to send you all my quicksaves? it's around 50mb though, discord only supports up to 8mb files

[shadow sapphire]

Nah just the 3 main files the latest

[terse sun]

there you go, I sent it to pm

[shadow sapphire]

Did this cross from 1.5.1 - 1.5.2

[dense cargo]

I've updated to the latest version and I am still occasionally getting "unhandled exception" crashes, seemingly at random.

[terse sun]

you mean the save? yes it did

[shadow sapphire]

turn off log spam remover, send the next crash file please

[jagged kettle]

what! Hip doesnt even let me turn it in. just says "Bye."

i think im missing the buck

[shadow sapphire]

Honestly its scuffed. I tried messing with some stuff, but even just opening your inventory locks up.

[terse sun]

fml

so start again it is

[soft niche]

so one of the sights for the AK-74N is the EKP-8-02 and yet i cant attach it

[shadow sapphire]

Im sorry man, I was really, really hoping.

[terse sun]

yeah it's alright, it's only my 150th playthrough of anomaly and related modpacks 😄

[shadow sapphire]

I have a feeling that basically the change from 1.5.1 plus mods added and removed over a long save just broke it.

[terse sun]

perhaps I should just stick with a certain gamma version until I'm finished with the playthrough

[shadow sapphire]

Because its not even like the amount of stuff, your alife is holding the same amount of objects as mine

Personally, I wouldnt but I would stick with just default gamma and literally not change anything else.

[terse sun]

yeah that's what I did

I don't like messing with modpacks anyways, I like to play them as it was intended

my bet goes to the 1.5.2 update

[gritty minnow]

Anyone know what this does in the Mod Organizer?

[shadow sapphire]

Could be, in addition with just length of time, anomaly is a language on a language on a language, sometimes saves can just scuff.

[soft niche]

hey larkin

[shadow sapphire]

Helps with stuttering in game, perfectly fine to turn on, and recommended if you have stutters

[shadow sapphire]

yo

[soft niche]

EKP-8-02 is a sight that fits on ak-74n

and even says so on details for ak

but does not go on

[shadow sapphire]

Screenshots please of gun and scope

[soft niche]

sold the sight cause i'ma try the 1p29

[shadow sapphire]

If you can debug in the sight please and check

[terse sun]

hmm there's quite some recent comments from 2nd half of august on 1.5.2 moddb page talking about issues, maybe that's the case, no idea, worked just fine before the switch - but it's speculation, if it happened to me only I must have just been unlucky with something

[shadow sapphire]

I cant say it was you only, I can only say you are the only one who has had this and we know its the save. The only other I have heard from is cro

[terse sun]

hopefully it stays this way 😄 gonna do a merc playthrough or ecologist or something now, gonna be fun 🙂

[terse sun]

I might be wrong because I don't know the scopes names and types by heart (always end up using the same scopes in my playthroughs, OKP for saiga, PSO no eyecup for WP rifles, ACOG for NATO), but there might be different versions of the same scope, as is the example with the PSO eyecup and no eyecup versions

@shadow sapphire btw should I reinstall the game out of precaution or should I just remove the old saves? You never know with this game

[soft niche]

i plan on using mostly warsaw pack rifles, besides my mossberg

i also plan on repairing the svt-40 for a sniper

to replace the sks

since svt has more power to it

[terse sun]

much more power in fact 🙂

but that's a late game weapon

[soft niche]

sks has 39 and svt has 60

not much

[terse sun]

some dragunov variations have 80+ damage

svd is one of them IIRC

[soft niche]

i would rather avoid svd's since i want a old as rifle for my sniper

doing more of a old warsaw pack kinda loadout

[shadow sapphire]

Nah, honestly it's the save. Like I knew when it was loading because it took forever just to load

[soft niche]

with a loner who sides with no one and just takes jobs for whoever pays

[gritty minnow]

I'm sorry for asking Larkin but this really amazed me, my stutters are lessened by so much, may I ask what it does?

[shadow sapphire]

Alright boys and girls I'm off for the evening finally got my suit off after being in it for the last 12 hours lol.

@gritty minnow Honestly I haven't looked at the code for that one yet so I'm not sure lol

[terse sun]

WP weapons got a lot of love from gamma devs, very nice weapons, reliable, easy to maintain, pack a punch and even outperform certain "holy grail" weapons from previous modpacks, such as the remington sniper rifle... It's nice because usually you always kinda gravitated towards NATO rifles for the end game, especially because of the 7.62x51 ammo

[shadow sapphire]

And don't apologize for asking, also if you have Nvidia and haven't done it, highly recommend turning on triple buffering in the control panel

[terse sun]

good night Larkin, sincere thanks for all the help and the hassle

[shadow sapphire]

Never a hassle! And your welcome!

[gritty minnow]

Will give it a shot, thank you Larkin!

[terse sun]

do that, it just works 🙂

[soft niche]

Nato weapons are almost the only guns you see at the end, makes me sad since wp weapons are very nice but treated like mid tier weapons

[terse sun]

but that's because of how factions operate

but since toolkits are now so light, you can always just stash a gunsmithing tool in your inventory and just convert any ammo you pick up

you should never run out of 5.45x39 or 7.62x39 this way

at the very least

[soft niche]

I dont convert ammo

Have not tried it yet nor looked at it

Prolly be better if i did since traders only have a max of 120

[sly moss]

what containers are safe for me to store things in? also, where/how do i get bigger ones?

[frank robin]

I believe that you can store any items in any stash and they'll remain there - a big change from vanilla Anomaly.

[sly moss]

hmm good to know

[warped ginkgo]

depends on the type of containers, no idea if you can expand the max weight limit

but theres a disabled addon in MO2 that you can enable if you want the classic stash, where you can toss everything and not worry about weight

[still knot]

is it safe to update to the 1.5.2 and the latest gamma build while keeping your save? im still on the latest 1.5.1 prior to the 1.5.2 announcement and dont know wether its ok or if i should just finish my current run

[sly moss]

i like the weight limits, just wanna know where i can find bigger stashes or make them i guess

[warped ginkgo]

you should be good for your current install

[frozen geyser]

increase goodwill and traders will sell better ones

[warped ginkgo]

but if you want to update gamma you need to install 1.5.2

otherwise your 1.5.1 install won't be compatible aymore

[frozen geyser]

I wonder if it's intended that I can toss grenades at factions friendly to me, get no rep loss even if it kills, and actually become more friendly if one of the nades wounds one and I help them with medkit.

[still knot]

@warped ginkgo cheers dude. yeah i get that i need to do the 1.5.2 update for gamma to then be able to be updated. just wanted to check saves from 1.5.1 are safe as i was quite far into my last run

[verbal lynx]

@terse sun @shadow sapphire Just following up on what both Meizu and I mentioned yesterday regarding lag / performance issues after the latest update.

Last night as I continued playing - my game crashed twice and I got error messages referring to "memory." I've never received those errors before.

But the strange thing was that after that - all my issues related to slow shift-clicks to transfer, long quick saves/load times, etc. were all gone. Everything is right back to how it used to be.

Not sure what happened exactly, or maybe something got cleaned/cleared, but wanted to mention it in case it might be helpful in addressing similar issues moving forward.

[velvet monolith]

How do I access other stalkers PDA after patch? I can't equip it and If I double click on it, it just disappears?

[north turret]

should be via right click on them

[wicked pebble]

How uh, do you cook things over a campfire?

[north turret]

make sure the campfire is burning
get close
use a cooking kit

[heavy haven]

wait dose that mean you dont need to have fuel for it ?

[versed tusk]

The blue ones can be used at campfires

Multi Stove needs fuel, but makes better food

[heavy haven]

i feel dumb i kept using the firewood and other fuel thingies in anomaly and efp with the blue ones damn

[versed tusk]

happens, keep Kerosene for weapon cleaning and the good cooker. Nothing beats a multi stove chimera meat with vodka

[carmine wyvern]

Epinephrine would like to have a Word with you

[versed tusk]

about the same i would say

[carmine wyvern]

nah

More Stam Regen, 2x Carry Weight, Less Item weight, more expensive to buy, can drop from enemies, longer Duration

[pulsar yoke]

Good morning fellow stalkers, I saw some are using mags do I have to install some add-on for that ?

[carmine wyvern]

!mags

[raw raft]

In order to properly enable Mags Redux:

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

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

[carmine wyvern]

oh sorry wait

nvm

[versed tusk]

haha

[carmine wyvern]

too late, follow the bots instruction

i swear i will be able to redirect people to the #🤖bot-commands at some point in my life

[versed tusk]

not this early, not without a 2nd coffee for me

[pulsar yoke]

Thank you, next time I know where to look @carmine wyvern

[carmine wyvern]

[versed tusk]

(you can also tick "mags buyable at traders" should you be in the midst of a playthrough and need mags quick)

[pulsar yoke]

Ahh ok nice, thx yes I'm in my first Gamma playtrough atm

[waxen bay]

how do i upgrade backpacks

[carmine wyvern]

crafting

you need textiles and sewing kits + the toolkits

[waxen bay]

which tool kits

[carmine wyvern]

all of them

[waxen bay]

can i buy the toolkits from a mechanic?

[carmine wyvern]

basic, advanced and expert

no

[waxen bay]

oh

[wicked pebble]

Sorry for the late reply there.. Though uh, what kind of cooking kit? Does it even matter?

[carmine wyvern]

find them in stashes

[waxen bay]

oh are they the boxes with red lines and yellow lines?

[carmine wyvern]

no

those are upgrades for guns and armors

go into #🤖bot-commands and type ! stash

[north turret]

Field Cooking Kit (blue one) can be used without separate fuel when at a campfire, but can only cook so many kinds of meat
stronger meats require the Multi-fuel stove (red one), and fuel

it's best to just stew food with clean water at the start until you get enough money to burn on purified foods

[pulsar yoke]

I don't like to carry the multi fuel stove with me as the fuel required is too heavy

[versed tusk]

its meant to stay in base

[carmine wyvern]

[pulsar yoke]

I don't have a base yet

[versed tusk]

you prep your meals and then go out basically

[wicked pebble]

I'm just living in Cordan myself, though I've saved up 80k in rubles.

[versed tusk]

if you have basic tools, craft some blue boxes

[pulsar yoke]

I always prep them at some campfire anywhere 😅

[versed tusk]

place them in a place you like near a mechanic

[wicked pebble]

So the multi fuel stove can be used on a campfire too?

[versed tusk]

and store your stuff - voila, base

no

[wicked pebble]

😔

[versed tusk]

multi needs fuel, but the food from it is awesome

[pulsar yoke]

Oh ok but can NPC's steal my stuff from there ?

[versed tusk]

no

[pulsar yoke]

Good

[versed tusk]

it also means you can go out very light and bring back more stuff, as you drop unnecessary shit

[pulsar yoke]

Yeah true, I carry all the repair stuff with me, omg will be so much better as I have more space for loot

[versed tusk]

one blue box takes 400Kg of storage, if you craft the workbench, it takes 300Kg and you can use the content inside directly for crafting from it

very handy

[carmine wyvern]

oh fuck, i didnt even know that

OMG thats fucking great

i take it that the Toolkits need to be stored in the bench?

[versed tusk]

they need to be in inventory unfortunately

[carmine wyvern]

awh ;(

[versed tusk]

but with a bit of patience - this could be yours

[carmine wyvern]

that looks comfy

[versed tusk]

love my loadout cubboard

armor box, weapon crate and grenade/tool pouches

aight, back to general

sry mods

[pulsar yoke]

Home sweet home ❤️
That's the freedom base isn't it ?

[versed tusk]

AW yes, 2nd floor above mechanic

[pulsar yoke]

I like them one of my favourite factions

[versed tusk]

they're placed too good - love having them on my good side just for hanging out

[carmine wyvern]

i wish i could set it up in Skadovsk

but that kinda hard to do as a Merc

[dull surge]

Gonna ask, are Grok planning to put cap/cut off on the blackjack winning for day or more? Its kinda highly abusable and are kinda strange that trader is willing to bleed so much money without getting turbo pissed at us

[heavy haven]

just get a disguise set it in one of the least visited rooms and you gucci

can you actually make it so you can fast travel to your base ? or do you kinda have to set up next to fast travel zones to not have to sprint across the whole map XD

[carmine wyvern]

stash travel is a option

but imho it makes the game too trivial

[heavy haven]

aahhh

well yes i you have more then an hour a day to play it dose XD

if*

[clear tinsel]

I've found 60 round mags for Aks in my travels but is there a NATO equivalent for things like the SCAR-H? I'm trying to work out my end-game loadout and I have mags turned on so capacity is a concern.

[carmine wyvern]

SCAR-H has 30 round Mags as an upgrade

those mags also work in the SR-25

[sly moss]

does anyone know if there are stashes at the clear sky base and where they are? need to drop some stuff but i dont got any spare backpacks to use

[carmine wyvern]

until now i didnt find any other that change something / fit the gun

[carmine wyvern]

buy one at your local trader if he has it in stock

[waxen bay]

how do i pick up empty exo repair crate?

[clear tinsel]

I've found the 30 round ones but still get through them reasonably quick. I've turned up STALKER and mutant spawns for an extra challenge and I go through my loadout just going from Warhouses to Jupiter

[carmine wyvern]

yeah

7.62x51 doesnt have a lot of options with the mags I am afraid

[graceful iron]

you can pick up any stash by pressing take all in its storage menu

[waxen bay]

i did but it wont go into my inv

[clear tinsel]

Thanks anyway!

[graceful iron]

click it again

[carmine wyvern]

is there a way to forcefully remove a bugged quest item ?

[waxen bay]

still not going in

[carmine wyvern]

cant get rid of a RF Receiver PDA, even tho i canceled the QUest

[graceful iron]

you are trying to pick up a stash you placed yourself?

[waxen bay]

yeah

[pseudo salmon]

Is the Tomahawk a good melee muli tool or should i just get a Kukri?

[graceful iron]

the tomahawk is just a knife

[carmine wyvern]

the more important question is, can you skin mutants with the kukri

[graceful iron]

you can

[carmine wyvern]

all of them ?

[graceful iron]

yes

[carmine wyvern]

sweet

[graceful iron]

the kukri is basically the top tier knife

[carmine wyvern]

good to know

[pseudo salmon]

ok thanks

[uneven ocean]

Is there a way I can make the PDA show up faster without disabling the 3D view? Also would be nice if I didn’t have to right click it to see it

[lapis silo]

At this point you are essentially describing the 2D PDA, which is way better anyway imo.

[uneven ocean]

Ya pretty much damn it lol I guess I’ll just use it

[lapis silo]

It honestly very nice, just takes an hour or two to get used to

[lime ibex]

What is a bibliotekar?

I was just messing around in the debug and I summoned it and it took a whole mag to kill it

[sly moss]

what happens if i wear a clear sky outfit as a loner? will it piss them off?

[carmine wyvern]

no, they will see through your disguise eventually, but if you are not hostile to them they wont do a whole lot

[sly moss]

thx, they gave me one so i figured they wouldn't mind me using it

[carmine wyvern]

you can remove the patch from the armor and you are a recognized again as (your faction) but in a CS Suit

[sly moss]

ohh cool

[uneven ocean]

Umm anyone know what the firemode key is? I can't see it in the gamma keybinds

It says 0 and 9 in the settings but that seems really weird way to do it

[heavy haven]

i had it on b but i dont know if it was def or did i set it

and yeah i think vanilla had weird keybinds

[versed tusk]

#│💻keybinds-in-gamma

[uneven ocean]

I don't see it on that I looked already

[versed tusk]

i rebound my key, so i cant say what's vanilla and not at PC

[graceful iron]

its some mutant "inspired" by the metro universe but doesnt spawn normally without debug

also, its known to be bugged

[tawdry anvil]

Hi, If i've installed gamma some weeks ago, what button i need to press in the installer ? And if I update will it break my current save ? (heard of a bug where the game crashed in a main quest at pripyat if so)

[graceful iron]

updating doesnt break saves

you havent updated for a while so you are probably missing some of the larger updates in #📢announcements

make sure you update anomaly to 1.5.2 and then run the installer > full installation

!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

[wintry rivet]

oooh

I havent updated game for a month or so. so did not update to 1.5.2 either

maybe thats the reason why I have 329 active

[graceful iron]

make sure you have the latest installer as well

!installer

[raw raft]

The latest G.A.M.M.A. installer is 3.7. Make sure you have it. If you don't: #📢announcements message

How to update the installer:

1. Open your G.A.M.M.A. RC3 folder
2. Go in .Grok's Modpack Installer folder
3. You'll find G.A.M.M.A. Installer, don't delete it, just drag and drop the new installer in here
4. Windows will ask you if you want to replace the old installer with the new one, click on Yes

[wintry rivet]

yeah mine is 3.7

how do I check animaly version though to be sure

[tawdry anvil]

Yes I've already had the game since the 1.5.2 so I do Only install Gamma addons ?

[graceful iron]

#📢announcements check if you missed any large updates that require a full install

when was the last time you updated ?

[wintry rivet]

I just did full update just in case. but missing 1 active mod

[tawdry anvil]

Oh 23/08/22 actually (thought it was longer than that ><)

[graceful iron]

the anomaly folder should have a txt file called 151 to 152 changelog or something similar

[wintry rivet]

hmm if its main folder then no dont have it

so I need to do the update for anomaly and then full gamma update again

damn

[tawdry anvil]

So just the full install ?

[graceful iron]

run the installer as admin > update data > full installation

[wintry rivet]

can I bother you with few more questions? 😄

[graceful iron]

sure

[wintry rivet]

while waiting for it all to install. thoughts would ask about few things. eeem. I remember there was a long long post out here with suggested game settings etc. is it still relevant? 2) I saw that winter mod in additional-mods but it was deleted? 3) anything else yo ucan think of to tweak in game settings?

[graceful iron]

see if the default settings work and try to optimize any stutters or frame drops first, the core 0 affinity method and the (turn this on if you stutter) addon can help with those if you run into them.
i believe the winter mod was reuploaded as a different project, i am not sure but i saw some discussion about a new winter addon in #╟📸screenshots, #╙🖇mods-making-discussion and #╟🎑reshades so try searching there and asking on the screenshots channel.
its usually recommended to limit the fps and to lower grass if you run into any issues with low frames and high gpu usage

[wintry rivet]

okay gonna look for that winter mod for now. thanks!

[graceful iron]

#╟📸screenshots message found the post

graupel winter theme

[waxen bay]

bro took a nap or smth?

[graceful iron]

loris goes to sleep at 20

he only works during the day

[waxen bay]

damn

[wintry rivet]

ooooh its grok own winter pack

sounds amazing.

[graceful iron]

#🖇old-mods-posting message no

it wasnt made by grok

[wintry rivet]

oh my bad xD person nickname was Gamma so I assumed xD

oookay so game updated

still shows 329 active

hmmm

[graceful iron]

its correct actually

one addon was disabled

[wintry rivet]

huh says 330 out there

ooh

okay then xD

[graceful iron]

forgot to change it

[wintry rivet]

need to go look if theres any disabled mods that fixing 21 by 9

[waxen bay]

where can i find duratextiles?

[graceful iron]

disassemble suits and armors or junk items. you can see if the item gives those parts by right click > details

[waxen bay]

ok

[wintry rivet]

is there a place that tells what all those disabled mods are ?

I can see theres BAS scopes 21 by 9 gamedata which I supposed will need

so maybe smth else too

[uneven ocean]

Does anyone have a screenshot of the keybinds you use? also if you use the ammo check mod I'm trying to find a key for it :\

[heavy haven]

do you have a mouse buttons ?

[uneven ocean]

Ya

Also does anyone know how to disable the BHS keybind can't find it anywhere

[heavy haven]

i put jam clear on front thumb button and back one is for checking ammo

[past zodiac]

I found that glucose shots counters the effects of dizziness - side effect of yadulin, psy-block etc

[graceful iron]

you can use caffeine tablets, mineral water, energy drinks, coffee and smokes to counter the dizziness, and thats not all the items you can use

look for "dizziness removal" or "alcohol sobering effect" in item properties

[clear tinsel]

How do you make money in end game? I've just gone to Chernobyl for the first time thinking I would find some decent artefacts/loot but it was bare. I'm looking for a bigger pay day than a couple thousand for some mutant parts

[carmine wyvern]

Quests

i play with reduced money for quest rewards and i make fat bank with collecting mutants parts and selling Weapon Attachements

i am in the mid game and I have 350k

[graceful iron]

weapon attachments sell for a bit to technicians, some specific hunting/amassing quests pay a lot like the artefact hunting gear for skinflint or some of the special hunting quests including "the parent of fear" from the mercs and "night terror" from duty

[carmine wyvern]

which isnt a lot by all means

Freedom has their own quest for Bloodsuckers too

[graceful iron]

i couldnt remember the name

[carmine wyvern]

same

[graceful iron]

[clear tinsel]

I've done both of those specific hunting quests. They were not too bad. Looking for more of that calibur

[carmine wyvern]

Merc sadly have no real Story / Quests

its usually fetch xyz and kill abc

[clear tinsel]

I'm 3k relations with freedom/clear sky/loners and they are still getting me to give them single mutant parts or deliver packages

[graceful iron]

always be on the look out for the barrier defense for freedom, they pay a lot

[carmine wyvern]

are there multiple ?

[graceful iron]

barrier defense? they are a random event that can happen multiple times, yes

[carmine wyvern]

ohhh sick

i got 40k for the first one

[clear tinsel]

I'm up in Jupiter atm, looking for artefacts. Getting dupes and feeding the melter has been a bit of a grind

[graceful iron]

you will make most of your money from quests during the entire game, there are no real alternatives except doing the more dangerous ones at end game or selling weapon attachments and other small items to the correct traders

[carmine wyvern]

yeah, watches and Jewellery Boxes are good income too

[clear tinsel]

Where do I get the more dangerous ones? I've already drastically increased spawns for more challenge

[carmine wyvern]

quests given depends of reputation with the Faction

[clear tinsel]

I'm 3k with 3 of them and they still give me basic stuff

[carmine wyvern]

you need to ask the important npcs

[clear tinsel]

CS, freedom and loners

[carmine wyvern]

not generic merc,duty, loner etc.

[clear tinsel]

Anyone in Jupiter?

[carmine wyvern]

For Freedom its Lukash and Skinflint

[clear tinsel]

Freedom just want me to beat on duty, and that's a no from me. I like being able to traverse down south too much for that

[carmine wyvern]

Jupiter in the Yanov Station

but i cant tell you a lot about them since I cant go there

[clear tinsel]

Thank you

[graceful iron]

sometimes they have quests to kill monolith/military as well

those are good

[carmine wyvern]

or collect x amount of Patches

which is free money

[clear tinsel]

Yeah, I've been killing Mono by the boat load

I've been selling surplus patches down to 100

Is there anyone that pays more for them?

[carmine wyvern]

also is Free Loot able to respawn ?

i swear i am getting different items from the usual spots i check

[graceful iron]

yes

[carmine wyvern]

sweet

i know in Anomaly Free Loot was finite

[graceful iron]

not as far as i know, but quests pay way more for patches than selling them

and you can go to the mercs for the lottery

[carmine wyvern]

get a decent Merc Suit and go to Dead CIty for Aslans Lottery

[graceful iron]

you can do with a suit from any merc neutral faction

[carmine wyvern]

true

so Bandits and Freedom or Ecologists and Clear Sky

[clear tinsel]

I've been looking for the merc ACE suit for ages

I hear that's good

I've got 2 Spartans and no repair kit for them

[graceful iron]

its only as good as the belt attachments you put on it

[carmine wyvern]

its the best Merc Armor outside of Exos

Belt Slots make or break a Suit

[clear tinsel]

Not keen on exos. I like sprinting

[carmine wyvern]

you can with Exos too, after a lot of Upgrades

[graceful iron]

you can just upgrade

also, nosorogs have 100% movement speed unlike heavy armors and other exoskeleton types

[clear tinsel]

I think I might have a nosorsog or 2 in my stash..

I'll keep it in mind

Thanks for the help guys

[carmine wyvern]

[wintry rivet]

hello. I saw somewhere here or on YT that theres a way to make item info (like for example weapon damage/ fire rate etc) to be displayed in numbers instead of a bar

anyone could advice how to do that?

[carmine wyvern]

its included in the current version of gamma

[wintry rivet]

hmm I just updated it all and in the new game window it still bars when I hover over a weapon for example

[carmine wyvern]

how many mods do you have active ?

[wintry rivet]

329, cat129 helped me with updates

like pointed on what to do

[carmine wyvern]

mhm okay, it should deffo be activated

[wintry rivet]

how is it called will check

[carmine wyvern]

by default even

i dont really know tbh, i never had to activate/de-activate it

[wintry rivet]

hmmm,

anyone else maybe knows the reason? would be great to know exact number and not use the bar xD

[vocal relic]

my gamma is 330 mods, even after updating, wondering what mod I might have enabled, playing vanilla

[thick python]

Did I mess up if I went to X8 and took the documents before the "Top Secret" Mission from Strelok?

[rain cargo]

Any suggestions of where to find the army rifle repair kit? I’m a loner faction player.

[gritty minnow]

Are you not able to keep the N62 rifle?

[low prism]

sorry this is so newby, but how do your limbs on gamma, i have bandages and first aids. my characters health is full, but i cant seem to get my limbs to full. does it just take time or?

[thick python]

you can craft it

[thick python]

Tournicet -> Ibuprofen. Check for a white heart symbol

[low prism]

alright ill do that, thank ya

[thick python]

!heal

[raw raft]

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

[low prism]

didnt know i could do stuff like that here thats very helpful 🙂

[wintry oar]

is there a minimum durability crafting material should have to be usable?

i was discarding all 0 durability ones so far, thought maybe i was doing it wrong

[minor star]

Crafting materials don't need any condition to be used, you can use 0% condition mats

[pulsar yoke]

Guys is it possible to buy laserpointers for guns from traders ? didn't found one yet and even in the F7 menu there are no laserpointers

[thick python]

keep all armor parts. weapon parts only with 60%+

or just keep specific armor parts. like Mil-tec

even 1% parts can be used for crafting

[thick python]

check for tactical kits

[minor star]

Some tactical kits come with lasers, check details to see which weapons can take tactical kits and then read the description of said tactical kit to see if they come with laser

[pulsar yoke]

Thank you @thick python @minor star 🙂

[thick python]

Which X8 documents are for the Strelok Quest exactly?

[wintry oar]

damn. Seems like I threw out a ton of them, then. seemed counter intuitive to keep tattered rags.

[edgy echo]

armor parts that can be used for crafting have a specific indicator on their icons iirc 👍

[carmine wyvern]

Crafting, finding them in Stashes is VERY rare

[pulsar yoke]

Think you answered the wrong message ?

[north turret]

My teleport companion key bind function doesn’t work anymore, any idea idea what the issue could be?

[edgy echo]

yeah mb Mayestixx lol

[brisk zinc]

Is the mod enabled?

Are your companions in the same map with you?

If they are very far, I think above 300m, you can't teleport them back to you

[gritty minnow]

Is there any way to upgrade a gun's mag capacity?

There's this gun I really want to use as my main gun but it only has 10 bullets on it's mag capacity

[graceful iron]

the starting loadouts and the debug menu still use the bars stats. in-game its in numbers

[graceful iron]

no

[sly moss]

i got stash coordinates but it's not there, underground or in the sky. i checked with noclip and everything

[waxen bay]

how do i use rf receiver

[sly moss]

woah weird it moved for a second then disappeared wtf

[wintry rivet]

ooh I think on YT I saw it being numbers in there too

[torn totem]

please, can someone on earth explain to me what im supposed to do with this guy? i tried everything, at this point i cant get rid of him, i cant abandon the quest, im not sure if i can kill him probably not, i even tried to leave him in the emission and it still did nothing, is there any way i can get rid of this egghead?

[graceful iron]

kill some mutants and wait for him to do an animation "researching" the mutants

just run around the area in yantar and shoot any mutants on sight

[torn totem]

i did already, i killed all the mutants in the area its so clear that tourists trips can be sent over here, its all empty for like 7 ingame days already and im tired of it

he doesnt want to move in another areas, get stuck on map markers

when i get to other areas he also does but doesnt move

[pure frigate]

quick question how can i reset ingame graphics settings to default? without touching control/keybinds options

[grizzled raven]

did you disable looting in the companions wheel thingy

[torn totem]

not really, he is free to do anything he wants

[grizzled raven]

position him to stand on top of a mutant then wait until he does the animation (it worked for me when i did that)

[torn totem]

okay, im gonna try that again, but i did it tons of times too.

[waxen bay]

how do i know which weapon parts are for which guns

[minor star]

Hover over your weapon and the parts used by it should highlight

[torn totem]

right-click on the gun and click "Details" on the bottom it gonna show which parts are needed for gun to work, also the workshop tools etc. just need to remember the correct names of parts pretty much.

[waxen bay]

ok

am i able to do anonymous stuff or is it just dialogue

cuz ive been getting this message everywhere i go

[carmine wyvern]

you are able to

[waxen bay]

im not sure where the location is i searched everywhere in the south east area of darkscape cant find any package

[carmine wyvern]

get your ass to Darkscape, tune your RF Receiver to the Frequency and off you go

[waxen bay]

is it suppose to make a sound if im close cuz all i hear is static

[carmine wyvern]

3 beeps and you are very close

[north turret]

Which mod is it specifically so I can check? No my companions aren’t far they’re right close to me but I only noticed it didn’t work when they got somewhere minor

[waxen bay]

found it

i can just open it right?

[carmine wyvern]

ye

[waxen bay]

alright thanks

[carmine wyvern]

you will get a new one shortly after

[graceful iron]

companion teleport. it should be in the good addons with bugs separator in mo2

[north turret]

Thank you, will check it out

[winter raptor]

how would i add my own music to any base radio? I wanna change merc radio to clear sky radio

[north turret]

Yup it was disabled I updated GAMMA today, thnx a ton

[shrewd basin]

I got this but for eastern Darkscape, how do I tune the RF receiver? I'm scared to walk up and down the entire eastern side of Darkscape lol

[graceful iron]

#│💻keybinds-in-gamma you need to have only the receiver equipped and use left and right click

[shrewd basin]

Thanks! That should've been obvious lol It popped up late last night and I was too tired to think properly

[median gazelle]

if i wanna install chernobyl relay chat rebirth do i just put it in the vanilla anomaly folder ?

[graceful iron]

yes, but please make sure to use #🔨modded-gamma-support for any extra addons you need help with

[median gazelle]

oh mb

[graceful iron]

the mod's page has the instructions to installing it, make sure to follow them

[violet sphinx]

Just started playing GAMMA. I went to Xenotech and he can upgrade my weapons without the tools, is that intended?

[graceful iron]

technicians can do specific upgrades on some low tier guns without tools

its intended

[violet sphinx]

So for some upgrades it needs tools and for others they dont is that right?

[graceful iron]

yes

[violet sphinx]

Okay ty

[cursive cove]

today and yesterday patches should be only update or full instal?

[brisk zinc]

The sunday update is to be done with Full

If you did that, you don't need to do Full

[cursive cove]

tyvm

[waxen bay]

do different faction technicians sell different items or do they all sell the same

[soft niche]

They seem to sell the same
