alright

[soft niche]

Your better off keeping most of the junk you find along with almost all armor and disassembling it for craft items

They all give you vital things for crafting

Tho ignore guns if you dont need gun components

[hollow shadow]

best way to heal limbs while out on the field?

i noticed u can get a medic to heal you but im pretty far from the closest one and not looking to head back to one just yet

[brisk zinc]

!heal

[raw raft]

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

[hollow shadow]

thank you

wow i was so close

was taking ibuprofen but not with a medkit lmao

[uneven ocean]

So I got a question I'm finding it really hard just using my PPSH I got, and I got some guns and parts but I need the repair kit to do anything it seems like, do I just keep grinding a bit to hopefully find one? my armor is at 44% too and idk what to do xD

[versed tusk]

#🤖bot-commands and type !apart

but yes, farm as many parts in good condition, do missions to get stash info - loot stashes, get basic tools - craft repair kits

[uneven ocean]

ye because I know how to repair and stuff got lots of parts for guns just only have a regular basic tools and nothing else atm

and I see I need 5 for an advanced

I was like wat

[versed tusk]

you can craft your tier1 repair kits with basic tools

that scores you a decent pistol and a decent shotgun if you chose wisely

also lets you repair some better light armor

advanced you will find around Yantar, Rostock, Wild Territoy - just keep on doing missions, slowly improve gear

its slow progression out of the Hobo phase

[uneven ocean]

hmm okay

[shrewd basin]

For what it's worth I survived mercenaries in Wild Territory for three stashes to give me no tools, had to go up to Army Warehouses to finally find some basic tools

[uneven ocean]

1st STALKER play through so I'm wondering if is too hardcore for me :\

[shrewd basin]

Just my bad rng tho

[versed tusk]

just be patient

insta gratification is for social media, not stalker

[long mantle]

Hey guys, at mid/endgame, what do you think is the best artifact and item set to get good overall resistance(especially fight resistance) for a stalker in medium outfit with 4 or 5 slots.

[versed tusk]

i think most people swear by ACE suit, Volat & full empty

[long mantle]

ill check that ty

[uneven ocean]

Its not even that I just feel like I won't even be able to do anything I am up to 40k rubles though most I've had yet

[versed tusk]

most new people have no way of knowing what is beneficial and can't optimize their time. this comes with experience and just learning & failing

[uneven ocean]

Like I'm worried I'll somehow break the economy and have nothing lol

[carmine wyvern]

Is there a way to bring back the Crafting Recipes you could find on other Stalker like it was in Anomaly?

[loud sierra]

I have Beef's NVG on but even if i press long or short N I dont see my nightvision

any help?

[gritty minnow]

Does the Svarog Detector show where anomalies are?

[minor star]

Yes

[gritty minnow]

Hmmm apparently it doesn't detect those other invisible anomalies...

[soft niche]

Sometimes stashes have advanced tools

Thats how i got mine

Also got a drug making kit from one

Got 4/6 tools by finding them so far

[shrewd basin]

Yeah I know, I just have some bad luck currently

At least with tools

[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

[fleet citrus]

anyone got any tips for fixing stuttering

[shadow sapphire]

Turn on the turn this on if you stutter mod, if you have nvidia enable tripple buffering in nvidia control panel

[fleet citrus]

so enable triple buffering or disable it?

[shadow sapphire]

enable

[crude oyster]

is there a way i can save my config files for gamma so i don't have to fiddle with my settings after each update? im assuming theyre not in the user or fsgame.ltx for the vanilla anomaly it's mounted on, would they be in the gamma files themselves or would it need looking at each individual mod for those configs

[shadow sapphire]

They are in user.ltx lol. go to #🤖bot-commands and type !backup

[fleet citrus]

My triple buffering is already on

[shadow sapphire]

And the turn this on if you stutter mod?

[crude oyster]

weird, wonder why they reset after updates.

alright ill keep it mind

tiny friggin brain forgot this shit even though I read the FAQ like five times during install

[shadow sapphire]

They reset because gamma basically resets everything to default.

The idea is: Put everyone on same everything, and thats the version we know works. If you change it, and it breaks, not gamma.

[fleet citrus]

Theres a mod for stuttering?

[shadow sapphire]

Yup, under gamma fixes. This is gamma, there is almost a mod for everything lol

[fleet citrus]

whats the mod called exactly. do i just need to enable it in Mo2

[versed tusk]

search "stutter" in mo2

[shadow sapphire]

Yes you just need to enable it

[crude oyster]

yeah i gotchu, will backup my files onde i get home tonite

[shadow sapphire]

Just be aware, that occasionally we might tell you that backups arent compatible. Usually its only for anomaly updates or the like, just be prepared to hear that occasionally lol.

[crude oyster]

well anomaly updates once every century so hopefully I'll be good for a good while lol

[dense cargo]

!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.

[dense cargo]

I keep getting unhandled exception errors, i unchecked the log spam as you asked @shadow sapphire Seems to happen randomly, not during level transition

[shadow sapphire]

Hmmm Im not seeing anything that stands out, I was planning on doing research to decode stack traces for anomaly anyway.

[sharp hollow]

It's such bs when NPCs are disappearing

[shadow sapphire]

No, there was a bug in 2 updates that caused it.

[heavy haven]

maybe you could respawn them or smtn

I updated like 2 days ago, mechanic disappeared just now

[forest onyx]

suddenly after about 10 or 15 hours of gameplay my FPS is very low like almost zero

[shadow sapphire]

@sharp hollow If you send modlist I can check to see if you still have the problem mod or you can tell me which gamma version and I can let you know

[sharp hollow]

is there a new update?

[lusty talon]

Hello. Is there a way to see an item's stats as if it was 100% repaired without actually repairing it?

[shadow sapphire]

Guns do that, for armor hold LCTL

[graceful iron]

try updating mo2 and make sure gamma and anomaly have been added as exceptions from the antivirus

!windows11

[raw raft]

If you have Windows 11, be sure to disable Bit Defender if you have it and be sure to update MO2 to the latest version, 2.4.4. Follow the passages in this pic: https://i.imgur.com/vG6SqwM.png

[lusty talon]

@shadow sapphire Thank you! ❤️

[vernal wharf]

Sorry if it was asked already but i saw Grok updated and when i try to Update GAMMA Data it says i'm up to date but i haven't updated since monday

[shadow sapphire]

!version

[raw raft]

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

[shadow sapphire]

Also make sure after you hit update gamma data you hit only install gamma addons

[vernal wharf]

It says 606

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah only install gamma addons and then you will be good

[vernal wharf]

Thank you ♥

[sharp hollow]

So, is there a way to transport my million kgs of loot from one place to another now that my sweet boy mechanic disappeared?

does god mode give you unlimited carrying capacity?

[shadow sapphire]

You can fast travel well overweight

[sharp hollow]

couldn't like a week ago, will check

[brisk zinc]

Yes

[sharp hollow]

I am really tempted to start a new one, but early relations grind will kill me

[stable stag]

Could always just tune up the gain of goodwill until you reach your desired level

[graceful iron]

backpack fast travel specifically allows you to travel while overweight

place a backpack where you want to move your items and fast travel to it after picking up all items from the previous stash

[sharp hollow]

Oh yeah, thanks

[dense cargo]

I will try that , thanks

[sharp hollow]

Maybe I will start new one

[torn totem]

uhhh guys, any way to fix it? or open this locked doors? i dont know why this happen.

nevermind, doors just magically opened by some random npc.

[fleet citrus]

Anyone else crash when placing your own furniture?

[wintry oar]

will scientists sell better pda's and detectors at higher faction goodwill/belonging to them?

[versed tusk]

craft the detectors

[wintry oar]

I know i can craft them

apparently I can craft fucking pc's (PDA's) out of fucking transistors on my knee, portable fusion-whatever powerplants for my back,top notch detectors that required lab conditions to be created in first place by zone's leading scientists, but can't craft a gun or an armor.
At this rate player might as well craft himself a fucking spaceship.

back to my question - do they sell those?

[versed tusk]

i love your attitude

[raven sparrow]

Shift key stopped working for transfering items and when I dissable items I dont get any parts, any idea how to fix this?

[versed tusk]

hmm - I'd reload a save and if it persist reboot the game. if it is still happening I'd start looking deeper tbh. never seen that happening

[wintry oar]

well, I asked a simple question, got completely unrelated answer. but let's just skip that and move on.

do scientists sell more advanced tech at better goodwill/player belonging to them?

[lyric steeple]

Def a great way to get help for sure 🙂

[raven sparrow]

Weird, after second reboot everything went back to normal

[versed tusk]

xray magic

[raven sparrow]

True

back to prowling the zone, I'll come back later if anything else goes wrong

[wintry oar]

I am sorry for the outburst.

[shadow sapphire]

What have I missed?

[wintry oar]

though it wasn't aimed at any single person at all.

[lyric steeple]

@wintry oar was asking if you can get higher level technology from scientists

[wintry oar]

and under which conditions.
not crafting. buying/receiving.

[lyric steeple]

^^

im not sure they expand to sell the higher level stuff

[shadow sapphire]

I believe you can yes, it would be based on their Supply Level. Im not sure if they eventually sell super good stuff such as a Savarog, but the higher their supply level, the better stuff they offer.

[wintry oar]

thank you. off to do scientist missions then.

[shadow sapphire]

That applies to all factions in case you are unaware, the better your rep with them, the better stuff they will sell you. But they will never sell everything.

Excluding mechanics who you have to give toolkits to improve supply level

[heavy haven]

can we please have a 308? cuz i mean honestly wouldnt be suprised with all the weird guns making its way into the zone

even tho well its not kinda real

[shadow sapphire]

You mean like the FAL, or the Scar. 7.62x51 is .308...

[shrewd basin]

I've ended up taking an escort mission as night fell, is there any way to ask my companion to turn off their headlamp?

[shadow sapphire]

Put them in stealth mode

[shrewd basin]

Thanks! I'd tried that before, but the delay made me think it wouldn't turn off 😅

[crystal idol]

super new to gamma, how do i heal my limbs?

[shadow sapphire]

go to #🤖bot-commands type !heal

thank you!

[heavy haven]

well yeah i just kinda liked how it preformed in r6 siege

[wintry oar]

how to use different sights on a weapon? (from upgrade kits)

[shadow sapphire]

V

[wintry oar]

was lucky to snatch an AK-105 exactly when there was a kit for sale. looks pretty cool honestly

ty

[shadow sapphire]

Right, I was saying they are already in. There are several 7.62x51 guns in gamma.

[heavy haven]

Oh wait it cut out the bit about it being a vector chambered in 308... my bad xD

i was so confused but then i read what i said i was like well damn i feel dumb now

[shadow sapphire]

Ha, no you wont find that in gamma, A - The vector isnt even in yet, B - Thats not even close to a real thing.

[heavy haven]

It was worth a shot haha

[viscid sparrow]

anyone has done this misssion? cant find the mutant

[versed tusk]

tried at night?

[viscid sparrow]

nope

maybe thats the problem xD

[crystal idol]

So my game is like super dark all the time, as far as im aware brightness etc has been turned up but doesnt seem to be having an effect, is there a mod that needs tuned im not seeing?

[crude oyster]

i just realized, do ineed basic and advanced tools for the crafting recipe tiers items are on? or can i get away with using advanced tools for basic tool recipes?

[vocal relic]

any reason J doesn't actually teleport my companions?

@versed tusk STILL NOTHING AT NIGTH

I believe there is a range at which it wont work, and there is a tofar as well.

[shadow sapphire]

RIP. He dead man.

You need to update, you have a version with a now disabled mod that can cause NPCs to disappear

[thick python]

will he be back or do I have to reload an older save?

[shadow sapphire]

Reload or spawn him in, will just stop it from happening again.

[thick python]

how do I spawn him in?

[shadow sapphire]

Go to #🤖bot-commands and type !missingnpc but make sure you update first.

[thick python]

okay, thank you!

there seems to be no command for missingnpc its !npc but unfortunaly no line for adding Forester back in

[wintry oar]

there's a guy in Yantar, blue hazmat suit, called Professor Markov.
his quest(s) seem to give advanced technological items, received improved body cooler from the first one. neat.

[chrome kettle]

@willow hawk can you assist me with a leftover folder I can't delete from GAMMA? says its 16gb, deleting results in errors

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah we dont have all of the npc identifiers saved and available, you would have to find it.

[shadow sapphire]

Why did you ping Grok for deleting a folder?

[chrome kettle]

because he made the installer

[shadow sapphire]

I get that, but do you go into company and call the CEO before speaking with reception? First, the installer does not create the folders, you do. Second send a screenshot of the folder in a explorer window please, the reason its not deleting in powershell is because the path you entered is not correct.

[chrome kettle]

if you can help me feel free to try to assist. i figured he would need to assist as i doubt you know how the installer works WRT memory alloocation

[chrome kettle]

ive talked with grok plenty in the past here. i think youre overstepping your boundary as mod

ive also donated a bunch of $ to the project

it says im new hjere but i left and rejoined the discord

[lyric steeple]

lol

[chrome kettle]

i shared that above

[shadow sapphire]

Ok, if you believe I am overstepping, no worries. @tidal raft

[lyric steeple]

lol

[chrome kettle]

the reason its not deleting in powershell is because the path you entered is not correct.
this is also simply not true lol

the installed did something weird with the malloc here

if anybody knows how the installer works and can help please feel free to!

i assume that grok is the only one who does though unless hes taken on new devs in the last year ish

[lyric steeple]

@chrome kettle there is a channel for that #old-only-installer-support

[chrome kettle]

i can move that there, thanks

[wintry oar]

btw, what's with 50kg stash limits?
some kind of engine limitations?

[lyric steeple]

depending on the box you will have different sizes.

[wintry oar]

the ones player can create.

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah they go up to 300kg for player created ones

[wintry oar]

filling area in front of mangun with stashes for now.

[lyric steeple]

yup, there are several you can place down.

[shadow sapphire]

Different boxes have different capacities.

[wintry oar]

oh.
those empty boxes for sale?

i was buying backpacks all this time

default ones...

[shadow sapphire]

THose as well yes, but you can make them in crafting too

lol

[wintry oar]

crafting is no go, materials are scarce, money are not

[lyric steeple]

you can buy the different boxes.

[shadow sapphire]

The boxes only use wood and metal parts...

[wintry oar]

speaking of wood. I haven't encountered any wood yet
...i suppose axes can be used for that instead, or smth?

[tidal raft]

No, he is not. Respect the authoritahs. #📄rules 8)

[chrome kettle]

Im asking a Q that only Grok will be able to answer

as he is the only person who knows the installer code

its fine tho I can just DM him!

[tidal raft]

Good luck with that.

[chrome kettle]

lol me and him used to DM a lot back when i was active here

[wintry oar]

okay, how to harvest wood?

[6:26 AM]Meizu: usually by disassembling shovels
That was counter intuitive as fuck, thank you.

[lyric steeple]

check the details of items. it will show what its available.

[tidal raft]

Try this before bothering him: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/windows-10-folder-does-not-exist-but-still-shows/72047a47-ad77-41cf-99b1-e702a91334a1

[chrome kettle]

already tried that, thanks tho

this ones definitely a real weird bug from the early early early installer

[viscid sparrow]

How can you reset a bugged mission?

[shadow sapphire]

You need to find the task id of the mission and then use debug to change the state of it. Is this still your Night Terror one?

[viscid sparrow]

Yup

[shadow sapphire]

Much easier way to fix stand by

[viscid sparrow]

Ive turned one debug mode in map, and the bloodsucker does not exist.

[viscid sparrow]

okie dokie

[shadow sapphire]

You originally get that one in rostok right?

[viscid sparrow]

Yes

Duty base

[shadow sapphire]

From mangun?

[tidal raft]

Voronin

[viscid sparrow]

The trader

I think

[shadow sapphire]

Oh god its a dynamic then.

[viscid sparrow]

tan tan tan... (Dont know what that means but it sound hard xD)

[shadow sapphire]

Ok do you have debug enabled?

[viscid sparrow]

YES

[shadow sapphire]

Hit F7 then 0 on number row paste this into the bottom box and click execute

task_manager.get_task_manager():set_task_completed("simulation_task_42")

[viscid sparrow]

ok I will try

[shadow sapphire]

That should complete it.

[wintry oar]

is there any benefit to having grooming kit in addition to multitool?

[shadow sapphire]

Yes, grooming kit can be used to disassemble armor without burning durability of the multi-tool

[wintry oar]

but does it use it automatically? when both are present in inventory

[viscid sparrow]

like this?

[wintry oar]

just noticed it's super cheap

[shadow sapphire]

Yes

[shadow sapphire]

if that doesnt work try the samething but change 42 to 67

[fleet citrus]

!vanilla

[raw raft]

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

[viscid sparrow]

Nothing happens I will try and change to 67

[shadow sapphire]

And if that one doesnt work I need to go to the next list of dynamic tasks -_-

[viscid sparrow]

It did not work... :(

[shadow sapphire]

rip me okay give me a few minutes

[finite sail]

Yo so i was wondering if it is possible to make the recoil return to starting position after releasing the trigger like in r6siege or other shooters?

[shadow sapphire]

A - Control the recoil B - upgrade handling on gun to increase that specific thing

Those are the options

[shadow sapphire]

Try 41

[viscid sparrow]

Okie

[viscid sparrow]

Nothing

I can just try all the numbers to 99 a tell you if it works :D

[shadow sapphire]

There are over 100 lol and that will just start completing other tasks if you have any lol

What exactly does the task say?

Oh shit

It was vronin not petrenko

Ok, do you want to fight the mutants, or do you just want it completed @viscid sparrow

I owe Aldourien a cookie, he was right lol.

[viscid sparrow]

Anyone of the options seems fine, I looking at the blodsucker body, its gigant with clwas and spines, but its dead and the missio is not done xD

[viscid sparrow]

You sure do

[shadow sapphire]

F7 go to object spawner Either under NPC_Mutant or SQUAD MUTANT you are looking for the one called special_bloodsucker_task2 WHEN YOU CLICK THEM THEY WILL SPAWN WHERE YOU ARE LOOKING, so be careful and ready to fight.

[viscid sparrow]

Its not here anyomore it has despwan or the body is somewhere I cant find xD

[viscid sparrow]

fORGET IT

[shadow sapphire]

Look at the ground right infront of you and spawn it

[viscid sparrow]

I missunderstand your awnser, my english has fooled me, I was thinking that you want me to revive my bloodsucker xD

ty

[shadow sapphire]

No worries lol

No spawn a new one

[viscid sparrow]

I WILL BE READY, you are a god sent <3

[wintry oar]

How to turn on AN/PEQ-15 on this one?
(had to google what that thing is. laser sight i guess?)

[shadow sapphire]

Hold L

[wintry oar]

any downsides?

[supple idol]

no

[wintry oar]

like increasing my visibility at night etc

ok, thank you

[viscid sparrow]

@shadow sapphire All with a toz and 20gauge

[supple idol]

i am pretty sure it wont cause enemies to spot you

[wintry oar]

so basically turn on all the time by default

[supple idol]

but I am assuming i actually dont know

[viscid sparrow]

ty for the help again :D

[shadow sapphire]

Anytime, I didnt speak up earlier because you hadnt checked at night yet lol

[wintry oar]

Gamma needs a comprehensive noob starting guide for stuff like this.
probably biggest issue is I dont even know what i'm missing/missed

[supple idol]

#│📚manual

[shadow sapphire]

GAMMA has one, but its the gamma stuff, the assumption is that you have played STALKER or Anomaly before. I dont disagree with what you are saying, simply that starting a game series with a heavily modded version of the mod, is very hard to write a guide for.

[wintry oar]

I did play plenty of stalker, as well as anomaly.
don't remember lassights in anomaly tho.

[supple idol]

heres keybinds, that would have answered question about how to turn lasers on

[wintry oar]

same for advices like
"disassemble everything armor-related, keep all the parts, disassemble all tech seemingly useless items for wood"

ty, saving that one

for now I just F7'd myself those 12 wood for a box to compensate all the wood I missed in my, probably, close to 30h playthrough by now

[shadow sapphire]

TBH, the vast majority of the questions you have asked are covered in the helpers section of the discord, either in #╭📖faq a command you can type in #🤖bot-commands or in the #│📚manual or via the in game pda version of the manual. In vanilla anomaly shovels have always been disassemble able for parts.

[lyric steeple]

#│📚manual is a great place to read through honestly

[supple idol]

also if you want wood you can buy firewood from traders and disassemble

[shadow sapphire]

To be clear I dont mind answering the questions, but the guide you are saying we should have already exists

[wintry oar]

to my (and many other newbies) defense, it's a small tiny line in a manual (disassemble everything), without correction about weapon parts vs armor parts vs random items, where with the focus Gamma gives to crafting gameplay loop - it should probably be a damn header, in bold.

[lyric steeple]

well, to be fair i wouldnt disassemble everything.

some of those items are what is needed to make stuff

but alot of things can be disassembled.

[past zodiac]

does butcher broken or is that intentional? he buys everything so expensive

[lyric steeple]

you can take appart all of the ammo you dont need/want too

[shadow sapphire]

How many mods?

[wintry oar]

a good example is this < newbie, not seeing a single wood piece in 20-30 hours, nor bothering with it. When you get to gamma from "normal" stalker/mods, you don't expect the game being turned into total "craft everything" mode.
yes, it does say about focus on crafting, but there's focus on crafting and there's Gamma.

[past zodiac]

335

[lyric steeple]

lol, i mean, its a focus on crafting....

which is what this is.

shrug

[wintry oar]

honestly, it's not even focus on craft. or just focus on crafting.
it missed the "focus on murderhobo marauder-looter" part, in description.

[shadow sapphire]

So what are the extra 5 mods?

[wintry oar]

i wonder how peaceful ecologists focusing on artefact collection and hunting (let's say, player's RP) is meant to progress here.

[shadow sapphire]

Same as everyone else Tasks -> Stashes -> Repair -> Craft -> Repeat.

[lyric steeple]

^^

[wintry oar]

eh, stashes won't cover much, tbh.
most of the materials comes from bodies, from what I'm seeing

[lyric steeple]

you are missing the progression part. as you play and progress in missions. more loot drops

[shadow sapphire]

Incorrect. Stashes are literally just about the only thing that matters. You can buy almost any item to disassemble from a trader, you can buy weapon parts from a trader, armor parts can be bought from a trader.

[lyric steeple]

also, pretty sure @shadow sapphire knows what they are talking about 🙂

[wintry oar]

but crafting items - not weapon or armor repairs - require dozens of materials, no?

[lyric steeple]

not really

[wintry oar]

acquiring it all from traders seems quite damn expensive.

[shadow sapphire]

Very few materials need anything like that. Also again, you are thinking in vanilla, what do you spend money on in gamma during mid game? Ammo.

Thats it.

[lyric steeple]

im looking for the last bits of stuff for the base night vision. its like 6 wire, 4 capacitors, and 3-4 of two other items

im just looking for my last wire right now.

[wintry oar]

base night vision is sold by scientists afaik?

[lyric steeple]

i can make it pretty cheap

[shadow sapphire]

Exactly, you could skip crafting it if you wanted.

It is cheaper to craft though.

[lyric steeple]

especially at scavenger or survivior

because holy crap is it more expensive than playing tourist.

[shadow sapphire]

PS the answer is its not normal, a mod you added broke your butcher.

[wintry oar]

i wish i could skip crafting, at a price. would be more immersive.
either way, I'd probably buy basic and upgrade to advanced.

speaking of which

what's the fastest way to acquire materials for nv/detector/etc upgrades?

[shadow sapphire]

Fastest or most efficent?

[past zodiac]

i cant figure out 330 default mods

[wintry oar]

1st and 2nd then

[lyric steeple]

fastest is likely buy the bits.

[shadow sapphire]

Go to #🤖bot-commands and type !modlist and post the file in this channel

[wintry oar]

buy tech items and disassemble?

[lyric steeple]

most efficient is to find the bits in the world in stashes

[shadow sapphire]

Literally loop through the southern traders buy anything electric they sell and disassemble is the fastest.

[lyric steeple]

and some bodies that you find along the way

[wintry oar]

and most efficient?

[lyric steeple]

Stashes and dead bodies

[wintry oar]

riight.

[shadow sapphire]

The most efficient is the gamma gameplay loop, take tasks -> kill baddies -> complete task -> loot stashes that you get as reward -> Disassemble anything you dont need/want and then use those materials to craft.

[lyric steeple]

the zone is a brutal place my dude.

[wintry oar]

anybody knows if Saiga-12 "Nerd" has upgrade kits, and who sells those, if at all?

[shadow sapphire]

Ok first, either update gamma or disable Safe Area Transition as that WILL cause NPCs to disappear if you save near them

[shadow sapphire]

Second I do not see the suspect mods, so what do you mean butcher is buying at insane prices?

[jagged kettle]

how do i deal why psy radiation? Im on a mission to get a laptop

[wintry oar]

second one - who drops Sphere 08 and higher armor rating helmets? Can mercs in Army Warehouses drop those? Freedom?

[shadow sapphire]

Metal bottle vodka -> Psyblock -> Sleeping pills, any of those give you Psy resist. They do not stack

[wintry oar]

or do I have to raid Monolith for that

[jagged kettle]

thanks man!

[lyric steeple]

psyblock FTW

(i generally grab some when i start)

[jagged kettle]

omg still drains super fast!

[past zodiac]

he gives 750 for a bandage, 1000 for a boar chop.. he gives 1500 for a sleeping pill that 1 use remains

maybe thats normal

[jagged kettle]

I just used that and still went down way to quick for me to grab the laptop

maybe need better gear

[lyric steeple]

there are some artifacts that can help too

[abstract cloud]

hey people i dont know if this is exactly the right place to ask for help, is there a way to make it so that mechanics repair armors without changing anything else regarding the repair / economy system?

[supple idol]

Anyone know is the only way to get the exoskeleton recipies is through buying from ecologists at high goodwill?

[lyric steeple]

armor repair is super easy

[supple idol]

the power supply recipies i mean

[lyric steeple]

#╭📖faq message

[abstract cloud]

yeah when you have the required armor kit its easy i get that, i just want to be able to get them repaired for conveniences sake its getting quite repetitive for me

[lyric steeple]

as far as I understand, you have all recipes right away. no need to unlock them

[lyric steeple]

you should be able to create a armor kit fairly easily.

[supple idol]

they are only recipies in gamma i believe

[supple idol]

they defienitly need recipies

[lyric steeple]

fair enough, my bad.

[shadow sapphire]

I need to check ingame but that honestly sounds wrong. What difficulty/progression difficulty?

[abstract cloud]

i get that, i am just trying to see if its possible to change it in the files

[past zodiac]

hard/surv

[past zodiac]

yeah he buys everything better than any trader

[shadow sapphire]

Any trader? Or better than scammovich and loris?

He should have highest price for mutant parts and meat

[lyric steeple]

LORIS IS A SAINT

[past zodiac]

lol

[lyric steeple]

and good prices for the ammo he carries too

[jagged kettle]

is that stash supposed to be in a tree? LOL

[past zodiac]

he sells hunting kit for 10k buys back for 6k

[lyric steeple]

ugg, yeah. I walked along the wall and did some parkor.

[jagged kettle]

there isnt a wall near by

[lyric steeple]

OOOooo

i think there is a command for that

[lyric steeple]

!treestash

[raw raft]

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

[lyric steeple]

I FOUND IT!!! i have become one with this discord.

[terse hawk]

so on ammo crafting, is it useless if you use every gun? is there anyway to craft the ammo parts without disassembling ammo?

[jagged kettle]

thanks man

[lyric steeple]

!vanilla

[raw raft]

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

[lyric steeple]

that might be the closest thing that easily accessable

[abstract cloud]

thank you maybe i fuck around with some other files i can make it so that no one sells armors but i can still get them fixed

this was the specific mod i was looking for yes tytyty

[shadow sapphire]

Ok, jumping in game to test a couple things including the butcher stuff, so I wont see anything in here for a couple minutes. If you still have questions and I havent helped you yet, please post a new message and I will look in a few when I finish the two tests.

[clear tinsel]

Will an oasis heal limbs?

[jagged kettle]

got it!

[abstract cloud]

SO i kinda found a quicker work around, in the mod organizer, under gamma economy and crafting section there is a mod called "armors repair like wpo" disabling it made it so that i am able to get suits and helmets repaired for money. Not sure what else this specific mod affects, hope its not important

[ocean ledge]

Do anyone have a Stealth settings setup that they feel is pretty fair, or is the default settings good as is?

[shadow sapphire]

Your butcher is indeed broken

[past zodiac]

ok i ll update the game

[past zodiac]

do i loose my saves

[shadow sapphire]

If you update gamma no save loss. If you decide to reinstall anomaly backup saves first.

[past zodiac]

ok i ll update first and try again thanks

[terse hawk]

im confused about the difficulty settings, since the presets in the settings are wrong, is there just one difficulty for gamma? like doesnt the updates overwrite?

[shadow sapphire]

Wait what? The presets are not wrong. Updates dont change that.

And no there is not one difficulty. Now the ideal balance is for Hard/Surv

[terse hawk]

like the gameplay settings all give you 15-25 max weight but grok said its intended to be 50

[shadow sapphire]

Right, gamma sets weight to 50. Indeed. How does that invalidate the other 50 things difficulty controls?

[terse hawk]

also i started my game on hard and when reselect "hard" settings it changes npc recoil/acc

[wintry oar]

realised i can check if upgrade kit exists in details.
so none for Saiga 12 "Nerd", apparently.

What's the solid mid-game (advanced toolkit) shotgun choice?

[terse hawk]

so the presets only give a wrong max weight option and everything else is valid?

[viscid sparrow]

The doctor does not acepet trades in scientifc suits?

[lyric steeple]

you cant buy/sell armor/guns in GAMMA

[lyric steeple]

!to

[raw raft]

Trader Overhaul isn't about weapons and armors (no you don't need to start a new game): #╭📖faq message

[shadow sapphire]

sorta. But basically most of what the difficulty changes remains intact.

[shadow sapphire]

Huh? Why TO?

[viscid sparrow]

Im not talking about that, im talking about the trade of suits of factions

[lyric steeple]

wrong command.

[wintry oar]

oh. that exists for gamma. interesting.

Will traders still sell stuff like Gamma's upgrade kits of Gamma eco gets disabled and TO enabled?

[terse sun]

do you guys also frequently encounter the hanged and non-responsive gamma image when launching the game? Quite often I need to relaunch because it freezes

[viscid sparrow]

Forget it, i found the cause, it wont trade if the armor is from the same faction.

[viscid sparrow]

I dont

[past zodiac]

is there any way to see those default 330 mod list

updating didnt fix it

[shadow sapphire]

Updating should have set you back to default..

[past zodiac]

it didnt, its still 335

[buoyant stump]

that saiga can carry you through mid game until you find a ISG saiga. spas-12 also good if you want tube fed

[dense cargo]

for the gun kits, do they all not allow you to replace the barrel without disassembling the gun and putting the kit on a new gun? it seems to be the case for the kar98 kit

[dense cargo]

ive been rocking the carabineer with no issue aside from 6 round cap

[lyric steeple]

correct, you can use tools to replace the barrel if you a spare and you have the gun kit.

you can use a charge of the gun kit to replace it to 100, by "maintaining" the gun.

[shadow sapphire]

How did you update?

[past zodiac]

gamma installer/update gamma data

i am gonna do the full gamma installation again. i backuped my saves

[lyric steeple]

!apart

[raw raft]

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

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

[shadow sapphire]

Oh after hitting update gamma data you need to hit either only install gamma addons or full gamma install. Neither will get rid of a save. Update gamma data just tells it what to do once you click one of the other two buttons.

[gritty minnow]

What post healing meds can you guys recommend to use?

[shadow sapphire]

What needs healing?

Are you in or out of combat

What time of day

[wintry oar]

disassemble button indicates it can use a hotkey?

with the "!"

[lyric steeple]

alright, im here for this part of the answer

[gritty minnow]

All limbs during combat, any time of day

[buoyant stump]

for cheap meds, pop a yadulin then a strong energy drink to get rid of the dizziness

otherwise i personally just use fentanyl

ibuprofen too expensive

[terse sun]

those weird named pills are also effective and very cheap

[dense cargo]

I know everything on that guide. I'm talking about the modkits that change the gun. I have one for Kar98k, and can replace every part aside from the barrel, it doesnt even show up in the workbench menu.

[terse sun]

methafloromethazamine or whatever

[gritty minnow]

Isn't fetanyl tagged with unhealthy though? Not sure what unhealthy means in this game though

[terse sun]

you lose some health upon consuming

[dense cargo]

i think fentanyl heals your main health, just makes dizzy, thirsty, hungry, etc.

[clear tinsel]

Does a Heart of the Oasis heal limbs?

[buoyant stump]

indeed, but it gives you slow heal over time which counteracts that

[buoyant stump]

it does small overtime heal + all limb post heals and small dizziness

[terse sun]

Sulfadimethoxine, just checked it, pretty cheap at 935 RU with ecologists for example, heals torso up very well, and a tiny bit of legs

[gritty minnow]

Hmmm I guess i'll use fetanyl, I really hate the dizziness effect and well ibrupofen and yadulin is pretty expensive

[shadow sapphire]

In Combat Fentanyl, or stim pack only, otherwise the effects can get rough, and the animations can take too long.

[terse hawk]

can you craft ammo parts without disassembling ammo? i dont stick to 1 type of gun so i want to save them up, and enemies dont really drop a lot of the bullet component

[shadow sapphire]

No, but enemies drop quite a bit.

[brisk zinc]

Use the axe on trees

[buoyant stump]

depending on the explosive device/grenade you disassemble it can give you quite a bit of gunpowder

[terse hawk]

yeah i have a lot of the gunpowder and shell i believe, its only the bullet part thats missing

[buoyant stump]

yeah, i dont think theres a way out of either disassembling ammo or finding very small amounts on enemies

[terse hawk]

ive looted more than 100 corpses by now and ive only managed 15 rifle ammo

[river forge]

Do I have to do a full game update for the daily patch?

[shadow sapphire]

But where are you looting those corpses

[river forge]

As in full install

[shadow sapphire]

If you have updated in the last couple days no, otherwise yes

[river forge]

I updated yesterday

[terse hawk]

from cordon to army warehouse i dont have the psy protection yet

they drop everything else plenty just not the bullets

[river forge]

So can I just do the lighter update choice? I’d like to avoid setting up my modlist and user file again so thats why I ask

[terse hawk]

hmm now that i think about most of them were just low lvl stalkers so yeah ill probably get better luck from looting high lvl stalkers

[dense cargo]

Anyone have severe frame drops from streaming to discord? I expect a little hit but its just 720p 30fps and it drops like 10-20

[buoyant stump]

do !backup on the #🤖bot-commands . but afaik there isnt a way to keep your enabled mods still enabled after any update, someone correct me if im wrong

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah you are fine with just the normal update and backup will tell you how to keep all that.

[shadow sapphire]

You can, backup tells you how basically you make 2 different lists and after you update just swap to your custom one

[river forge]

Nice

Thank you

[buoyant stump]

ooo gotcha, thats nice

[wicked pebble]

Is there a way to make NPC companions wear armour?

[golden pasture]

In mo2 under good mods with bugs separator

[terse sun]

hmm isn't it a bit funny that Operation Monolith Retribution: is only available to military and ecologists, but not duty?

[warm sand]

Hey what's the drop down menu below "run" in the MO? the options are shortcut, toolbar and menu, desktop, start menu,

[vivid pawn]

How can I save my savedgame to use it in other computer?

[grizzled raven]

it is available to duty though

[shadow sapphire]

adding shortcuts for running the game with the mods

[grizzled raven]

played through it when my faction was duty

[shadow sapphire]

copy the 3 files with the save name onto a thumb drive

[grizzled raven]

^ or you can upload it to google drive and redownload it

[vivid pawn]

Those one at D:\Anomaly-1.5.1.2\appdata\savedgames ?

[shadow sapphire]

Im old lul

[grizzled raven]

[vivid pawn]

Nice. Thank you!

[halcyon tapir]

are some scopes like the acog supposed to be variable? because adjusting the zoom on it doesn't really change magnification so much as make the sight picture clearer.

the default before you use the swap scope hotkey is just a little more zoomed in but WAY more blurry

[shadow sapphire]

That should be fixed on later versions, also variable is done with mouse wheel not v, and acog is not a variable scope

[soft niche]

so i have a exo frame and a jury rigged power supply but i have no idea what to use it for

[worn elbow]

okay looked more into it, an SVD with 7N14 has a gun/ammo based damage factor of 1.1x1.18 and shotguns have a gun/ammo based damage factor of 0.8x1.2

[shadow sapphire]

Fixing an exosuit

[worn elbow]

okay, shotgun AP slugs are slightly more powerful than an SVT with 7N14

[shadow sapphire]

which makes literally no sense

[soft niche]

where is it possible to find one and or medium armor?

[shadow sapphire]

Stashes and dead bodies. Exos probably wont be found until you are north of red forest, but they are heavy armor

[soft niche]

i need mediun armor bad, sunrise aint cutting it very much

found a light armor helmet to wear while i get the stuff for the heavy armor one

[shadow sapphire]

Go AW or WT and farm merc, youll get medium armor in no time

[rain cargo]

So is there any other more unique companions like Hip? Ie quest lines and such. Or is she just a leftover from the days of last day

[shadow sapphire]

Nah there are some further north, and different factions have some too

[rain cargo]

Neat, any way to tell them apart?

From regular stalkers

[soft niche]

starting to think that protection agisnt anomalies is mostly pointless as long as i dont run into them

[shadow sapphire]

Honestly not really, though they will start with non standard quests

[shadow sapphire]

kinda different loadouts for different tasks, if you anomaly hunting or something you are going to want it. If you are focusing on combat stuff definetly stack more BR and RR

[worn elbow]

in terms of sheer ftpound energy at muzzle 12 gauge slugs and 7.62x54 are actually very comparable

[shadow sapphire]

True, but when we get into armor pen a 7.62x54 will rip through things even a saboted slug will not.

[worn elbow]

to be fair, if something with that level of footpoundage domes you you're kinda dead no matter what armor you're wearing lol

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah in reality 100% lol, but this is STALKER world where physics doesnt mean anything lol

[worn elbow]

but at the end of the day real life stats don't matter yeah

up to grok

honestly i think it's kinda fine, nerfing AP slugs just kinda makes endgame shotguns a bit less meaningful

[shadow sapphire]

And he may like it how it is, but I cant for the life of me understand why I would use anything other than a 12GA endgame. Just cost alone means its pointless. Yeah my mags are smaller but who cares, doesnt take that long to reload.

[worn elbow]

because it forces you into close range cos slug ballistics and shotgun accuracy are garbage?

[shadow sapphire]

Right but when it takes literally 2-3x the amount of ammo Im still saving hella money even with the increased meds.

[worn elbow]

also unless you have an ISG saiga you've got way lower fire rate or a REALLY small mag

[shadow sapphire]

Especially when you look at how tight some of the northern maps are.

I mean to get reliable 1 shot 1 kill in endgame we are realistically looking at comparing the 12GA AP slugs to the .338

[worn elbow]

honestly i think if you take issue with shotguns being able to kill exos quickly with headshots at point blank you're really kinda taking issue with most ammos in the game lol. 5.7 ap and 9x19 ap will 2 shot them to the head

wait how the fuck did i end up in this channel, sorry i was intending to put this in stalker-general

[shadow sapphire]

On Survival/Hard I do not have that experience with 5.7 and 9x19 and I wouldnt call 30-70m short range.

[worn elbow]

i'm testing on surv/hard

right now

and 2 tapping them at point blank

[restive crystal]

I'm having an issue with my game crashing every time I make my character and try to load in, not sure where to find the crash report, It just boots me back to mo2

Anytime, hope you have a fun time in GAMMA!

[soft niche]

so, ak74n

seems like no sight works on it

i bought the 1p29

and it didnt go on

welp, f

tho i got a M4A1 RAS recently and was able to repair it so i may raplace it when i got ammo and some attachments

[crude oyster]

certain sights only work with BaS weapons

if it says "tulpan" and not "tulip" for the name its the BaS sight, only for BaS weapons

[soft niche]

then how would i get the right sight?

EKP-8-02 kobra

the sight i found is croba EKP-8-02 red dot sight

[crude oyster]

right click on the weapon itself and enter the "details" section in the menu, it should show you which sights are applicable for that weapon

[soft niche]

also

[crude oyster]

and likewise any other attachments

[soft niche]

any idea where expert tools are found?

need expert tools so i can maintain a gun i found

[crude oyster]

only found in stashes north of the red forest, often needing you to get them from people you kill up there

[soft niche]

guess its my time to start pushing into army warehouse soon than i wanted

welp tomorrow i'll repair a sniper i found get more ammo and help duty on a attack

[cinder mortar]

how do i update reshade?

[supple idol]

you dont need to

you will get a version of reshade that works fine with gamma it will tell you theres an update you can ignore it

[cinder mortar]

oh. my game keeps crashing after selecting a loadout, i thought that was the problem

thanks

[supple idol]

like a loadout to start a game?

[cinder mortar]

yeah

[supple idol]

if you are fully vanilla you can try and post crash log here

[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.

[cinder mortar]

just drag and drop in here?

[supple idol]

yah

[supple idol]

i have no idea on that im afraid its strange you can get as far as launching game okay and being able to select loadout but then crashiing

someone who is more knowledgeable may be able to take a look if you posted some other time think everyone is asleep

[cinder mortar]

damn, thanks anyway

[waxen bay]

is there a helmet that offers ballistic and radiation protection?

[shadow sapphire]

Update to 1.5.2 you are on 1.5.1.2

[cinder mortar]

update what

[shadow sapphire]

Anomaly

[cinder mortar]

would i have to reinstall gamma

[shadow sapphire]

Sorta. You'll hit the full gamma install button but it won't download anything that hasn't changed since your last full gamma install. So basically if you updated gamma today it will just check that the files are intact and not download. Follow this guide:

No purps in gamma

Where is the best place for artefact hunting?

[inner crow]

Hi, im new to G.A.M.M.A. and i am new to MO2. I do however hve some knowledge hot to use, edit and combine mods for Stalker. My question is: if i do want to use some mods which are downloaded with G.A.M.M.A. (3 from the optional section, Body dots, and NPCs cant see through foliage) do i have to do anything besides just select their boxes?

[shadow sapphire]

There isn't really an answer to that lol tbh. Anomaly fields, but like a specific map doesn't exist if that makes sense

[clear tinsel]

sure does. I have found a few in RF but I was hoping that Cherno or somewhere was going to be littered with them but super dangerous. So far its all pretty well the same

[shadow sapphire]

Nope, that's the beauty of gamma. It's designed with modularity in mind. Now that being said please go to #🤖bot-commands and type !disabled and read that, optional section is totally fine, just make sure you read through #╭📖faq or #│📚manual or #custom-textures if you are gonna change a bunch of stuff

[inner crow]

thank you

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah basically you can find them sorta everywhere really in gamma it's less about finding that God tier arti and more about finding enough to make a God tier one if that makes sense.

[clear tinsel]

Yeah, I'm slowly building up. I've got a 100% oasis, but the insta anomaly death is a pain. Probably going to grab a compass and emerald too when I can afford

[shadow sapphire]

Welcome to the grind lol

[cinder mortar]

it worked. thank you so much

[shadow sapphire]

No worries! Have a good time in gamma!

[soft cloak]

Is there a setting to display fire mode and ammo left that i'm missing?

Anyone know why a quest for an artifact randomly failed?

[shadow sapphire]

Npc got killed

[uneven ocean]

wtf

oh no

[willow hawk]

Buy ball pin hammer at mechanics and disassemble them

[willow hawk]

You come walzing in here saying you don’t understand half the mechanics, some mods give you direction, and then you say no I prefer my own way of playing and don’t care about stashes, which is what you should focus on early anyways ? That’s weird

There’s a whole manual in your PDA that explains everything. Also, disassembly of anything you find was already something you had to do in vanilla anomaly

[willow hawk]

Just check them. For larger modifications follow this to not loose them after every update

!backup

[raw raft]

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

Does maintaining parts use a gunsmithing kit?

[edgy echo]

No but if I remember you can check what tools you need for a specific part by looking its details

I load my save and all the quests get messed up what is going on

I'm sccared

I can't help you much personally just hope someone already had a similar issue

[uneven ocean]

Ya idk I might have to go back to a far save shit seems really fucked

[grizzled raven]

you mightve pressed shift while hovering on it

that drops the item

[uneven ocean]

fuck true

[grizzled raven]

happens a lot to me and thats why i keep debug mode on

[soft cloak]

when is 1.0 planned for? This pack is incredible

[uneven ocean]

Also anyone know why my stamina bar is not updating

just always full

[edgy echo]

You can disable it in the load order 👍 I don't get this feature lol

[grizzled raven]

i see

[edgy echo]

Busy hands issue ? I dont really know someone correct me if im wrong lol

the green/black one (without custom) should work

I have the black one and it doesn't say custom and it still doesn't work

are u shooting an exo or nosorog?

cause everything but AP will bounce of

[south flare]

nah, shot 4 times with a >80% durability shotgun in the head of a normal merc, guy didn't flinch

[smoky dome]

were u using buckshot? he might have had a helmet on

[graceful iron]

the durability of the gun doesnt affect damage, its the durability of the barrel

[south flare]

yes & yes
but i'd still like a point blank shotty to vaporize a guy's head

[graceful iron]

make sure you are using the correct ammo type and a functional or at least dirty barrel

[smoky dome]

you would be surprised

buckshot does basically nothing to even light armor]

ur better of using slugs against any human enemy aside from like the leather jacket bandits in cordon

what is the condition of the barrel anyway

[south flare]

can you boys just point me to the option for ammo to make more damage pwetty pwease 🥺

[graceful iron]

no. there isnt an option

you would have to tweak it manually through GBO

[south flare]

damn, guess i'll fight for my fucking life in search of a better barrel then
cheers

[graceful iron]

make sure you start with a gun that has early accessible ammo

dont go fighting monolith or mercs with your sawn-off double barrel, its just not going to work

!ammo

[raw raft]

Your gun is in perfect condition but you can't kill anything: #╭📖faq message

[thick python]

Is it possible to delete items in the world? Lets say a bedframe or a table or anything like that. If so - how?

[tidal raft]

No.

You'd have to use a level editor.

[fleet citrus]

anyone know where to get army rifle repair kits

[graceful iron]

craft them using the advanced toolkit or buy them from a technician after giving him said toolkit

#│📚manual

[fleet citrus]

so its worth giving techs a basic tool kit

[graceful iron]

no

[ancient laurel]

do you guys know what to edit so that my guy doesn't get so thirsty and hungry all the time?

[graceful iron]

its way more expensive to buy these repair kits

[ancient laurel]

he's eating like a locomotive

and I'm usually carrying around 30kgs

[graceful iron]

using medical items is what increases hunger, not the weight carried

also, eating cooked food is better than canned

[ancient laurel]

but cooked food is radioactive, no?

[graceful iron]

not all of it, and the radiation is nothing

[ivory comet]

Like real life, injecting yourself full of chem gives you the munchies 🤣

[graceful iron]

use a field cooking kit near a campfire with some meat and maybe some water canteens (purified water)

[ancient laurel]

it's true that i've been stocking on those cans, but I've never tried the cooked mutant meals

[wintry oar]

which factions can drop heavy helmets ? (BR30 and above, but Advanced tools only. so Sphere 08, maybe12?)
Can military in the army warehouses do it, or do I have to travel to Radar and beyond?
Wanted to upgrade my head protection before venturing North, I don't think steel helmet is cutting it

[ancient laurel]

and where do I find a car?

[graceful iron]

only in darkscape

[wintry oar]

saw one in Darkscape South West

[graceful iron]

dont try to drive them out of there please

[ancient laurel]

why not tho? 😄

[graceful iron]

they are added only for darkscape and they can glitch you under the map

you can find them near the entrances to darkscape

[ancient laurel]

i will test this after a quicksave

my guy tends to get hungry and thirsty from all this running xD

i rarely use meds, i'm in early game still

[graceful iron]

like i said, eat cooked food instead of canned

its better

[ancient laurel]

i will give it a try

[graceful iron]

check your hunger and thirst bars in your inventory

[graceful iron]

sphere 8 and 12 will leave you dying of radiation even with upgrades. you can probably find them any where north of cordon on military/freedom/mercs/duty

bandits as well i believe

but they are not common headgear

[clear tinsel]

Where can I get exoskele recipes?

I would like one of those spicy powerpacks

[graceful iron]

mercs or ecologists at supply 5

[wintry oar]

Thank you, I'll have to keep my GP-10z as well, then, for swapping.

[willow hawk]

be sure to check your bars, one can of chili beans isn't enough to fill your stomach

[ancient laurel]

it would be in real life tho

[wintry oar]

to be precise, what are helmet spawn rules? i.e. enemy rank requirements or smth else?

[willow hawk]

Run and jump 12hours a day and tell me if 200gr of chili beans is enough

[ancient laurel]

not for a day, but it's like 5 minutes and the guy wants to eat again

[willow hawk]

See you at the hospital in 2 days

[willow hawk]

that's because you don't watch your bars

check the kcal from items

there are meals that give 650kcal for a reason

[ancient laurel]

okay, that makes sense

[willow hawk]

vs 300 or 220kcal ones

[ancient laurel]

I usually dealt with it until the icon goes away

[wintry oar]

tried with repeatedly killing a stalker that had this menacing looking armored helmet, turns out it's GP-10z too.

[willow hawk]

if you just watch the icon in the bottom left, yes it will be gone because you go above the threshold

but it doesn't meean your bar is full

if the indicator is shown in the bottom left, you need atleast 500kcal

[ancient laurel]

oh! that's a new for me then

[willow hawk]

remember you should eat about 2400kcal a day

I balanced the food around this

(approx 4 x 600kcal meals per day)

[grizzled raven]

theyre good for rads though

[ancient laurel]

I'm gonna fill my belly up now to a good level before moving out for an adventure

[willow hawk]

go over an item in the inventory and check how much of the meal bar is filled

[ancient laurel]

if I kept it so low, no wonder why I would hear the stomach grumbles every now and then

[wintry oar]

yes, and I do wear one as I mentioned above. It's really good piece of hardware. With a steel helmet for a swap in a gunfight.

[willow hawk]

the green will show up to which point the bar will be filled after item consumption

[willow hawk]

I set the loot by hand for 3200 models

[wintry oar]

I'm just trying to understand the rules at play here.

[willow hawk]

you can imagine they aren't perfect, if you see a problem, report the model name and which helmet it should be and I can fix it

[willow hawk]

well, there's one file defining the loot table for all 3200 NPC models, I checked most models and added the loot manually

now it's possible that I did some errors. If you want to check them, be my guest

[wintry oar]

so what I'm looking for, is SKAT-type of spetsnaz enemies, and exosuit bandits?

[willow hawk]

already spent 2 weeks full time on that shit

(as in, 6h a day)

[willow hawk]

F7 > get info on model > screenshot and tell me which helmet he should drop

[wintry oar]

eh, I'm fairly confident giving that random loner in a sunrise suit an Apocalypse is going a bit too far, so I have no complaints.
if F7 correctly shows avaialble helm selection, it's not that much you can work with in first place, it seems.

[willow hawk]

I'll change the loot table accordingly

[willow hawk]

it just shows the model name

then you gotta search that model name in death_outfit.ltx

(and probably DLTX file from GAMMA Helmets and Armors are separeted)

[willow hawk]

Big helmets have a low chance to drop so it's fine giving them to any NPC really

thanks, let me see

[wintry oar]

either way, no complaints there.

since you were setting them manually by hand, I can imagine what type of enemies I should be looking for

time to grab some AP I guess.

[willow hawk]

ah that's a new model Dux added in a recent update

that's why it doesn't have the proper helmet

Oh man, I'm not going to update this

[wintry oar]

...what even would be the proper helmet in his case?

[willow hawk]

apocalypse

[wintry oar]

wow, okay.

[spice bobcat]

where would one find hips TOZ? the flea does not carry guns anymore

[nocturne tartan]

Hello guys this is the first time I managed to hand in artifacts for Hip quest lol. Now which option should I choose for her next quest: going to Barkeep or helping Lukash. Which one is better ?

[wintry oar]

sorry for mention, are you saying it won't be dropping apocalypses even after future updates, or that you just won't bother updating it for now?

[fleet citrus]

where do you get metal scraps from

[tidal raft]

Professional rank dropping Apocalypse helmets?

No.

[heady cradle]

Hi, if I'm on a disguise do I have to leave my companions?

[jaunty horizon]

Why is it in Gamma do only marked stashes give loot? I'm just walking past every PIO now since I know it won't anything at all in them. I'm just asking what is the real benefit behind it?

[tidal raft]

Read #│📚manual

[pulsar yoke]

By dismantling items with metal in them

[full bridge]

I can't remove the scope on my Kar 98. Is this a bug?

[spice bobcat]

How do you see stashes? I have turned in a few starting quests and the rewards are stash coords. However there are no icons for it on the map

[tidal raft]

White or green markers on your PDA. Zoom out and search the entire Zone.

[spice bobcat]

Okay, its not any different than base anomaly. They are not going to spawn outside of the map you are in right?

[raven sparrow]

I think they spawn everywhere

[pallid dawn]

Is there like a list of all the mods that are currently in the modpack?

[raven sparrow]

Not sure if there are restrictions on northern spawns since they got better loot

[brisk zinc]

I don't think so, since I have Hip with me all the time

[raven sparrow]

Also the "escort scientists" quest in Jupiter keeps bugging out for me, twice in a row the scientist refuse to respawn upon completing the quest, I also don't get the reward. I get the "black despawn" screen when they die though, and questfail as normal.

despawn*

[willow hawk]

I'm not planning on touching models armor drop for a while no

I have more important stuff to do for GAMMA, for instance, world free loot overhaul

[waxen bay]

is there any other way to recover hp other than first aid kits

[grizzled raven]

toz 194, which is a common shotgun dropped from low level stalkers

[grizzled raven]

hover over a medical item, if theres a green bar overlapping your health bar then it heals

[spice bobcat]

Will she be okay with the low durability or will it need to be repaired? Also thank you!

[grizzled raven]

nah it can be a broken ass one

just make sure to bring 20 buckshot shells too

[waxen bay]

are basic tools one time uses?

[versed tusk]

no

[past zodiac]

Hi guys, im running at 25-30 fps with on gamma vanilla with all settings changed to the recommendations from #old-framerate-optimisation. Im running on an AMD Athlon(tm) X4 860K Quad Core Processor (3.70 GHz & 8GB RAM), do you think i can crank any more fps out of this potato?

[carmine wyvern]

AMD Athlon(tm) X4 860K

jesus Christ

my Hamster is faster than that thing

[forest mesa]

[fleet citrus]

w

[versed tusk]

is that one even AVX compatible? and are you running the exe without it?

[forest mesa]

i havent tried without avx

should I?

[fleet citrus]

anyone know how long the last dawn questline is

[versed tusk]

lets google if its even compatible - if not, then no sense running it

ok it should be working

[forest mesa]

dx8 gives me about 90-100 fps

[versed tusk]

mhm it runs without all the glitz n glam on dx8

have you tried dx10? as a middle ground

9 isnt working just FYI

[forest mesa]

yea it didnt really change much for me

[versed tusk]

okay. well based of this little bit of info, either live with dx8 and have solid fps, or continue tweaking dx11 but it might not yield the results you want

[forest mesa]

alright, so there is nothing else to try right?

[versed tusk]

sry i gotta walk my dog be right back

she giving me they eye

[forest mesa]

haha i understand, let her poop in peace

[waxen bay]

what do i use to clean weapon parts that are dirty?

[cunning hinge]

is there a way to switch scope magnification ?

[buoyant stump]

scroll wheel

[cunning hinge]

thank you

[waxen bay]

is there a helmet that can offer psy or rad and ballistic protection?

[versed tusk]

helmets dont excel at both

either good res or good BR, some are middle ground-ish but its better to have one for each purpose imho

[versed tusk]

the biggest fps consumers are grass, grass shadows, AA etc - i guess you turned that stuff off alrdy after following the guide?

[forest mesa]

i did, also modified the zcp population factor, but no luck

[versed tusk]

hmm... at that point I'd deactivate everything, turn all sliders to lowest and if it still doesnt achive at least 60 then dx 10 or dx8 would be my advise. if you can stomach the oldschool look

[forest mesa]

alright ty man, have a good one

[versed tusk]

I'm also not an expert with optimizing the game yet

maybe there is something that you can still tweak

[forest mesa]

i appreciate you trying to help either way

[versed tusk]

always

[buoyant stump]

does anyone have a screenshot of how bad dx8 looks?

[wintry oar]

fucking hell RNG gave back after 15+ hours on basic tools in beginning of playthrough
Apoc helm from the first fight against group of militaries.

at the cost of stalker ally. he was a good guy...

apocs are hard to get, from what I heard around here?

[pure frigate]

whats the command for transfering gamma for hdd to another?

[versed tusk]

let me look, i dont remember either

!move

try that in #🤖bot-commands

[pure frigate]

nothing >.>

ye, seems it got moved/changed

[dim shale]

What's the fun level setting under WPO do?

[graceful iron]

character dialogue when the gun jams

[waxen bay]

if i use empty crates to store my items as stash can npcs take them?

[graceful iron]

no

[dim shale]

If I set things to spawn using the item spawn thing in ZCP is that gonna just get overrided by whatever makes stashes empty

[graceful iron]

yes

if you dont want to ruin the intended progression, dont enable useful things and repair kits

even at low chances

[dim shale]

TBh I just wanna use it for mags redux without having mags at traders

[tidal raft]

You can do that in ZCP without issues.

Just don't touch anything else.

[dim shale]

Sick

Also assuming that all the mods in GAMMA disabled are broken things?

[graceful iron]

yes

!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.

[graceful iron]

this includes all addons under gamma disabled

[dim shale]

Thanks

Actually my one last question is whether or not Agony mode works or does it break with YACS

[graceful iron]

it should work, just dont enable campfire saving in the starting loadouts

[dim shale]

Aaah I actually have another question lol, if I rip off the patch from an outfit does that mean I can wear it without being affected by disguise stuff

[versed tusk]

that's why you rip it off

[pulsar yoke]

Guys I tried to find the PDA from the Stalker in the western tunnel in red forest but I cannot find it ? there where alot of Sin guys but no pda

[keen hinge]

Hello, someone else is having the problem with the low battery warning with the manual flashlight? I have a full battery but the warning appears just with that device

[raven sparrow]

Have you tried turning it off and on again 🙂 Techsupport pro

[keen hinge]

Yep I tried

It only happens with the flashlight

[timid sail]

Is artifact hunting worth with a melter ? I have a Bear detector and i don't know if it's worth or not like if we make lot of money

[raven sparrow]

unpacking batteries and put in new ones? I've only seen the low battery warning on the detector and havnt had any problems with it

[keen hinge]

Yes

[raven sparrow]

buy and headlamp and see if that helps?

[keen hinge]

Okay, I have just read the disabled command, I changed some MCM settings, might have affected, can I see somewhere the MCM default settings for GAMMA? Or just by clicking reset does it set them as Grok wants them to be or does it set them as the mod brings them by default?

[versed tusk]

you dont get artefacts for money - the melter lets you craft better ones and the best ones are absolutely making your character stronk

[keen hinge]

It only happens with the hand flashlight, I tried the rest of the devices, detectors, rf receiver, nightvisions, headlamp... weird bug

[dense ledge]

Having this issue within the game.
First, my PC , rtx3080, 32gb ram, Ryzen 5950x and the game is installed into an m2 ssd. Windows 10

Issue is, say I am in Cardon. The game can sometimes freeze (almost like its loading an asset or something) anywhere between Rookie village to the farm. Anytime, anywhere no define place for this to occur.
Take this up a notch, that it happens in any area. Cardon, Meadow, Dead city. Anywhere.

I have done:
-Manually clear the shader cache files
-Lowered Render distance bear minimum.
FPS is rock solid btw, anywhere beyond 60 fps and above. Its the freezing that annoys the heck out of me.

Theory includes.
-Big stashes (compulsive hoarding), but my main stash is in Cardon. Issue appears elsewhere as well.
-Xray being a cow (Likely)

Anybody can help me with this ?

[keen hinge]

But might be my fault

[raven sparrow]

weird, maybe try putting in a lowpower battery and let it run dry? And then put in a fresh one. Maybe that'll trick the game 🙂

[timid sail]

oh okay but are they selling well ? because like when i do a quest I look around for artifact and i sell them so it give me a little more money

[raven sparrow]

quests for artifacts are bad

[dense ledge]

I say is pretty decent. I done some artifact hunting and also melted and combined some stuff.. Its pretty good late game too to make nice stuff

[raven sparrow]

@dense ledge Try turning off core 0, should be a guide somewhere

I have the same freezes in a few locations, was the same in vanilla anomaly for me

[timid sail]

so for artifact hunting it's better to have an armor with a lot of slot

[dense ledge]

is this an in game menu thing ? IIrc, i may have done something of that sort in the past....way abck in anomaly 1.0 lol

[timid sail]

if you want to get stronger with artifact

[raven sparrow]

no, into taskmanager and settings for anomaly.exe and cpu core settings

you have to do this manually every times but there was a fix for this floating around somewhere, maybe in "useful tools"?

I found opening inventory helps a little during areas with bad frames, maybe its just placebo though.

[versed tusk]

go to #🤖bot-commands and type !core

[elder frigate]

Can mechanics fix suits?

[versed tusk]

nope

[raven sparrow]

you have to fix them yourself

[elder frigate]

Fug XD thx

Just wanted to be sure cuz the button is there just disabled

[versed tusk]

repair yourself

thats the point of gamma

[elder frigate]

I know just didnt wanna waste my hard earned stuff XD

And had to check

Still thx ❤️

[versed tusk]

it aint a waste if you repair good shit

[elder frigate]

True

[dense ledge]

Dont think its an issue with frames.. frames are solid hovering anywhere beetween 60 and above. Its the freezing concern. Will try the core 0 thing.

[versed tusk]

freezes/stutters are stemming from a few things

ALife & the game loading huge chunks of data at once (inventory)

[raven sparrow]

I think its an engine issue, I feel like its loading a billion things at a few select checkpoints on the map but what do I know.

[versed tusk]

if you play with limitless stashes - consider doing it differently

[boreal jewel]

What is ALife? I keep seeing it mentioned but don't know what it is

[raven sparrow]

Alife sounds about right, this problem was aggravated for me when using a mutant multiplier mod.

[versed tusk]

ALife is basically controlling every NPCs daily routine, routes and simulating all they do, even if you are not in that specific area/map

[boreal jewel]

Ok, so it's the NPC AI?

[dense ledge]

Basically everything i nthe game

[versed tusk]

yeah and the whole simulation of "life" in the zone. also how they fight/react to things etc.
most people stutter if Alife has to turn NPCs "on" as you get close to them

[dense ledge]

It takes care of the AI for NPC, wildlife, events happening. Xeno shooting someone in the nuts. etc etc.

[boreal jewel]

So what does the file in the 'Enable this if you stutter' mod do? It contains an alternative ALife file.

[versed tusk]

it changes how far, how many NPCs get turned "active" when you get near and also how many intervalls/calculations per milisecond

newer CPUs can handle more

[boreal jewel]

Yeah, I have similar (not quite as good) specs to @dense ledge and the game generally runs smoothly with graphics pretty maxed, but has occasional horrendous stutters or complete freezes for five or six seconds (rare)

[versed tusk]

turn on thr stutter addon, it might help. the issue is, every cpu is different and may handle that stuff well or needs even more tweaking to maximize its potential

you can go into those files and tweak further, but i would not know what/how exactly

by that i mean, what values exactly and where the safe margins are

[boreal jewel]

That 'Defend The Barrier' task completely tanked my FPS to nearly single figures. But there were about a hundred zombies and mono attacking!

BTW, the only thing I haven't got my head around yet (150 hours in GAMMA) is artefact crafting. Just haven't tried it at all. Is there a guide somewhere (more than what's in #│📚manual ) that tells what the best ones are to gather/craft?

[dense ledge]

Tireed that too. Its not stutters for me but freezes. Long ones. Anyway no dice

[dense cargo]

on the topic of framerate, anyone struggle when streaming to discord? i get like a 10-20fps hit meanwhile no other games have that issue for me

[tidal raft]

Try the 0 core solution, if you haven't already.

[wintry oar]

Recover tracking device - it's supposed to be on mutant's corpse, right? Took the mission, corpse only had mutant parts on it, but quest marker is still there.

could it be because quest was given for same location, and mutants already spawned before the quest?

[night inlet]

How do I repair clothing if its below the max repair value? My starting leather jacket is getting low and its below the max of any of the kits that can repair it.

[versed tusk]

then you basically effed up. but if you have a toolkit (lets say basic for light armor) and the replacement parts (synth, etc) then you can replace the parts inside and bring back up the condition to where you can use repair items

also, go to #🤖bot-commands and type !apart
