[night inlet]

ahh I was wondering if that was possible

what if the part itself is below the max repair value? Just find a new part I guess?

[versed tusk]

read the !apart guide

armor handles a bit different to guns

its easier

[night inlet]

alright

[next dagger]

Field stripping weapon components from dead stalkers inventories is a time saver. Is there a way to get patches from armors in the same way? Thanks

[night inlet]

so if im understanding this right if I can get the armor back up to a repairable amount the parts inside should also repair right?

[versed tusk]

the patches on NPCs are alrdy in the inventory - if you rip one off, you dont get another one

[night inlet]

and on a similar note is it possible to favorite parts from inside the gun details?

[versed tusk]

i... have never tried.

i fav only a few things if at all as I use a sorting.ltx for my inv

[night inlet]

I was gonna favorite them incase I ran across the parts in my travels

but when I click the part the menu just closes

[next dagger]

Are you sure of this? Sometimes the patch doesn't show in the inventory but if I transfer the armor in my backpack then I can tear it off

[versed tusk]

if you tear it off, it will be destroyed - but pls try and check

[next dagger]

Ok I will thanks

[versed tusk]

I'd be surprised, but learning something new is always good!

[next dagger]

most likely I have wasted an enormous amount of time so far for nothing

[dense cargo]

Yeah I use that all the time.

[sterile ember]

can anyone tell me how to hide this indicator?

[graceful iron]

its an option in the mcm for mags

[sterile ember]

ah I see thanks I missed the HUD tab

[raven sparrow]

@wintry oar The tracker falls of the dead mutant and will be somewhere near it on the ground, not on its corpse

[minor bone]

Hey I enabled Depth of Field and Motion Blur on complete accident. Now the game freezes when I try to load in and I cant find the file to turn them both off.

wait I found them

[versed tusk]

happens

[scarlet idol]

How do I use the teleport companion keybind?

I press the button I assigned it to but my companions aren't teleporting to me

[versed tusk]

have you turned it on in mo2?

[scarlet idol]

Now I have, thank you

didn't know I need to enable it

[river forge]

Do traders still sell old ammo? I'd like to avoid cheesing the economy by buying old ammo and having it auto convert to new

[graceful iron]

no one sells old ammo

and as far as i know even in vanilla no one did

[river forge]

Nice

[verbal dove]

how can i change the barrle of the gun, it says i cant do it on the field, help please

[versed tusk]

it never was sold in Anomaly - only found on NPCs or in boxes/stashes

[versed tusk]

#🤖bot-commands and type !apart

[verbal dove]

thank you

[solid drift]

Is it normal that I literary opened 116 stashes and still didn't found expert tools?

[supple idol]

yes

open stashes at red forest and north from theere

[solid drift]

Oh christ

another crusade on monolit

[supple idol]

radar and zaton and jupiter are more likely to have them

[solid drift]

I did it twice

but thanks anyway

[supple idol]

you can just be really unlucky but in my experience its never like a grind for it

[solid drift]

gonna go for those 3 stashes in radar now

and kill another platoon of monolit

great

[heavy haven]

You say that and i have yet to find basic tools

[solid drift]

my luck is just reversed

I have like 8 basic tools

[fiery ore]

First stash I opened in Red Forest had expert tools

[worthy root]

that's where I found my expert tools too

[quaint shadow]

The Last Dawn mission, I cant see anything in the Bog pounder anomaly

Anyone know where the instruments are?

[graceful iron]

!scanner

[raw raft]

Can't find the scanner for the Last Dawn quest?: #╭📖faq message

[wintry oar]

Oh. Thank you!
guess i'll try it next time, when it won't be nighttime

!ammo

[raw raft]

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

[wintry oar]

are there any monsters in game that have "armor" on them?

[versed tusk]

no, but they all have weak spots

[limpid sphinx]

i cant see my ammo counter anymore

On the hud

Or my firemode

[tidal raft]

Numpad Enter.

[limpid sphinx]

it didnt change anything

Can i rebind it?

or do i have to be in debug?

[tidal raft]

Are you holding a weapon?

[limpid sphinx]

I dont think i tried without

It made no difference/

[quaint shadow]

How does player level work? I'm guessing looting of NPCs is tied to that, so how do you increase it? Just by surviving etc?

[shadow sapphire]

Can you screenshot your hud?

[versed tusk]

hud is def off

[shadow sapphire]

Which enter key did you hit?

[limpid sphinx]

The one on my numpad

[tidal raft]

Save and reload same save.

[limpid sphinx]

oop

it wasnt my enter key

it was my numpad 0

[shadow sapphire]

Kill, complete tasks, etc etc. Basically play the game.

[limpid sphinx]

Sorry must've just been a my keyboard thing

appreciate it

[quaint shadow]

thanks

[shadow sapphire]

No worries, hope you both have fun in GAMMA

[limpid sphinx]

damn right

[dense cargo]

Howdy. i see in the MCM you can make campfires.. but havent quite figured out how to do so. I have firestarters but dont see "campfire" as an item anywhere to craft, etc.

[versed tusk]

you need firewood

[shadow sapphire]

Wait you mean I can't just torch the whole zone?

What kind of immersion is that?!

[versed tusk]

muh realism

[dense cargo]

firewood as in.. wood from disassembling shovels?

there is no campfire "equipment"

[shadow sapphire]

Nope legit there is an item called firewood

[versed tusk]

axe + trees is prolly a better idea

[dense cargo]

ive never found it

[shadow sapphire]

You can also buy a placeable campfire from normal traders

And I believe they sell firewood as well

[tidal raft]

Right-click an axe > Chop firewood

[dense cargo]

thank you.

concrete surface outdoors "does not suit"

lmao

[versed tusk]

needs dirt

[shrewd basin]

I'm a little lost trying to find the anomalous samples for Prof. Kovalev, how much do these samples stand out? Also, could they be underwater?

Edit: Nevermind, I've found it!

[buoyant stump]

your detector picks them up also btw

[quaint shadow]

Can you refill your canteens? Or once they are done there is no reusing them?

[shadow sapphire]

Standard video game logic, drinking involves consuming the container as well lol

[south jungle]

munch

anyway, is there really anything curious to do as bandits (storylines?)

[shadow sapphire]

Personally I don't mind it as typically in games with reusable containers I end up with 50000 stored up.

[versed tusk]

canteens are for cooking anyway

[shadow sapphire]

Unfortunately no, as no one likes bandits. However and I could be wrong you should be able to use disguise to build rep with someone and change factions. I would think of it as maybe your bandit had a change of heart, or maybe they decided that there were more pressing issues than making money.

[shadow sapphire]

Extra iron would be important with the amount of blood loss the typical stalker suffers lol

[south jungle]

can I even for example disable the scorcher without being disguised and getting the psyhelm from sakharov?

[shadow sapphire]

Mmmmmmm psyhelm is necessary I believe but yes you can disable the scorcher

[graceful iron]

you can only survive for so long in the range of a psy installation without the helm

[shadow sapphire]

A good Cat is here, so either I missed something or I am also going to learn today.

[jagged kettle]

Barrels cant be replaced out in the field? Do i need to be near a technician?

[graceful iron]

as far as i know, more psy res does keep you alive longer but wont stop the psy health completely from going down no matter what

[shadow sapphire]

Just need a tool kit not repair kit, but tool kit.

[restive crystal]

Anyone else getting stutters when shooting? How can I fix it?

[versed tusk]

launch the Anomaly launcher from MO2 - tick "prefetch sounds"

if it persists, let me know

[restive crystal]

Do I need to launch from the anomaly launcher or just tick that and then launch dx11-avx again?

[shadow sapphire]

Added a stutter command since we get this alot.

[jagged kettle]

If I wanna offload gear near a technician...whats the best way to do that?

I dont wanna lose it

[versed tusk]

craft a box, place it - profit

[lyric steeple]

you can drop it in any chest you find. or place a box

or, make a stash with a backpack

[jagged kettle]

empty exo repair kit do the trick?

[lyric steeple]

think so, if you can "place" it then yes.

[versed tusk]

ya

[lyric steeple]

also, pretty sure any searchable box in the world is safe to put things is

[restive crystal]

Stuttering is definitely better but still there

[shadow sapphire]

!stutter

[raw raft]

If you are experiencing stutter please try the following:

Update gamma to latest version
Set modlist to default (type !default in #🤖bot-commands )
Turn on the "Turn this on if you stutter" mod in mo2 (found under the GAMMA Fixes separator
If you have Nvidia GPU you can enable Triple Buffering in Nvidia control panel
Open anomaly launcher via mo2 tick prefetch sounds

[plush nova]

Just curious. Does anyone know if there is a questline involving 'Laboratory X18' or would that just be something I'd do under free roam?

[shadow sapphire]

Is 18 the scorcher or the bandit one. I always get them confused?

[plush nova]

X18 has the major bandit camp located near it in Dark Valley

[restive crystal]

I keep running into random radiation zones that almost instantly kill me on azazel mode, is that just part of the mod or is something wrong?

Instantly makes me too exhausted to move then I'm just stuck there waiting to die

[plush nova]

The scorcher is further North (I forget the territory name).

[brisk zinc]

Azazel mode isn't really suited for GAMMA

Random radiations patches are intended, yes

[astral heron]

Hey guys, is there any channel or something about tinkering with the reshade ?

[versed tusk]

#╟🎑reshades

just a hunch

[shadow sapphire]

To my knowledge no quest related to x18 unless monolith retribution uses it.

[graceful iron]

there are side quests and some Dr.x quests in that lab

but no main questline

[plush nova]

Yeah. I’ve been looking to hit up every doctor or others to get a side quest for that location but to no avail.

[graceful iron]

i believe barkeep can give a quest for documents from that location

[floral sorrel]

Hello, first time gamma stalker here. I've been loving the curse of immortality mod and wondering if its supported in this mod?

*modpack

Also heard that there is a respawn mod included already, is that true?

[graceful iron]

#🔨modded-gamma-support you can try asking for help in that channel. gamma itself doesnt have that addon and doesnt support it as an optional

[plush nova]

Yeah that’s what I thought however he has no more quests to give to me with the exception of one artifact

[quaint shadow]

Which repair thingy acts as like a portable workbench? Im trying to set up a base haha

[graceful iron]

all types of toolkits

right click > open work bench

[pure crescent]

can other stalker loot your stashes?

[graceful iron]

no

#│📚manual

[pure crescent]

okay thanks i couldnt remember if they could or not

[terse sun]

all toolkits work as portable workbenches, you can also craft one if you want to have it as an object

or buy from vendors

[lyric steeple]

i was kind of bummed that the workbench, wouldnt take into account the items IN that stash.

[quaint shadow]

Right. will just have to find like a green stash location

[minor star]

You mean the portable workshop? It does use the items inside of it

Just not the toolkits, so you gotta take them out before you craft

[graceful iron]

only toolkits cant be used from inside it

[pure crescent]

any fix for game looking fuzzy?

[terse sun]

don't know what you mean by fuzzy?

[minor star]

Take a screenshot so we can see what the issue is

[lyric steeple]

o interesting!

[quaint shadow]

Is there like a multitool that has high durability? I got a lot of guns that i need to take apart for the barrels and stuff haha

[terse sun]

buy some sharpening stones, cheaper to repair than to buy a new one

[graceful iron]

no. always keep some sharpening stone sets

[lyric steeple]

the multitool can be repaired with sharpening stones. for pretty cheap

[terse sun]

butcher sells them dirt cheap

[lyric steeple]

Is there a specific time that vendors restock?

[pure crescent]

nvm i was near rads

[graceful iron]

they restock every 24 hours. dont really know the exact time but it always seems to be around the morning

[shadow sapphire]

I feel like it's around when the traders who have a day night cycle open back up for the day

But I haven't tested that.

[quaint shadow]

So about the UI, could it be changed to have clearer bars? the up and down bars make it hard for me to figure out how hungry i actually am. Or is that not doable as its a GAMMA UI thing

[shadow sapphire]

I am not sure you would probably be better served checking with #🔨modded-gamma-support however if you mouseover the food it will show you how far it will fill the bar up

[lyric steeple]

question: once i have some gear im pretty happy with, is it only worth breaking down items with high repair bits inside?

[shadow sapphire]

Depends, some of the stuff is useful for other crafting

[lyric steeple]

sorry, ment guns/armor.

the other stuff seems to be usually worth picking up.

[shadow sapphire]

Answer still stands armor parts are used to make ballistic plates for instance

[lyric steeple]

right! and armor bits are worth because even the 0'd items can be used for crafting

[shadow sapphire]

Plus it's loot you can also sell.

[lyric steeple]

are the mats you get from disassemble, worth more based on their quality?

[shadow sapphire]

I will say I don't typically break down like cloth stuff for instance once I have a good stockpile unless it's real good durability. Or stuff that gives me materials I don't need

To my knowledge yes, but I haven't specifically tested this

But let's say I need one piece from the item, I just take it all anyway because why not?

[lyric steeple]

yeah

[dense cargo]

when did ghosts swarm you every 0.000012315123 seconds?

[graceful iron]

if you are talking about psy phantoms, they were buffed a while ago

faster movement speed and spawning and now they deal a lot of psy damage

get more psy resistance if you plan on fighting off psy mutants or deactivating the miracle machine

[terse sun]

lol is there a way to access the menu other than escape key? I accidentally removed esc key from keybinds

[terse sun]

grab a cheap pistol and start shooting the phantoms, no other way other than stacking up on psy res

[weary hearth]

getting a CTD on starting a new game after the latest update to 1.5.2 and latest gamma update

already installed the k98 fix, now the crash log says it's an issue with the mp412

[shadow sapphire]

Send log please

[graceful iron]

when does it crash ?

[weary hearth]

as soon as I hit start game after choosing my beginning faction and inventory, it goes to the loading screen but only manages to survive for like 3 seconds before crashing

[shadow sapphire]

!version

[raw raft]

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

[graceful iron]

i didnt know we had a command for that

[shadow sapphire]

I got sick of typing that out and made it the other day lol

[weary hearth]

607

[graceful iron]

the installer you are using is version 3.7 ?

[weary hearth]

3.7

[shadow sapphire]

Also how many active mods?

[weary hearth]

321, going to reset that and start with all 330 mods active

[shadow sapphire]

I was honestly going to post a gif, but I still have no idea what a macro image is.

[weary hearth]

uh...? I did the thing and now it's only telling me there's 328 mods

[shadow sapphire]

A - your version isn't up to date as I'm 90% sure 607 was a couple days ago

[graceful iron]

you clicked on only install gamma addons to reset the modlist, correct?

[graceful iron]

607 should be the most up to date, i updated yesterday and thats what i have

[weary hearth]

yes. and after opening mo2's shortcut it told me there were only 328 mods loaded

[shadow sapphire]

Ignore me. I'm going insane because grok updates everyday and i always keep track of the version in my head so the fact it didnt change today threw me. Send a modlist please go to #🤖bot-commands and type !modlist if you don't know how.

[shadow sapphire]

I knew I had 607 and I haven't been to my pc today so I legit assumed we were at least at 608 lol

Ok again not at my pc. But that list looks off when did you first install gamma?

Pre or post 1.5.2

[weary hearth]

installed 1.5.1.2, installed gamma RC3, updated to 1.5.2, ran the update for gamma, probably messed up somewhere along the way

[shadow sapphire]

When you say you updated gamma, how? Which buttons did you press?

[weary hearth]

oh, I forgot to run full gamma installation before only installing gamma add-ons.

[shadow sapphire]

That would be why

[weary hearth]

yeah. that should explain it. currently running it, hopefully this'll fix things

thanks

[shadow sapphire]

It should yeah. No worries. I was suspecting that because nothing was disabled that shouldn't be on default.

[graceful iron]

you have to update anomaly to 1.5.2 and then install gamma

[tame zinc]

ah

[terse hawk]

i cant turn in a quest to the duty exoskeleton gate captain all he has are the "i want to ask you something" chitchat option and "bye"

[shadow sapphire]

I really really need to add to my list this dude handing out quests I gotta find out what causes that.

[graceful iron]

he is not handing out quests. i had it happen in my run and apparently, when you take quests from some random npcs around the area and they die somehow (possibly the emissions, thats when the bug started i believe) the marker gets moved to him

[terse hawk]

oh damn can i cancel it? or is it just stuck there forever

[shadow sapphire]

Oh I've had before than. I just don't remember if I took the quest from him for sure.

[graceful iron]

you can try force completing it, getting the quest id is

!task

[raw raft]

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

[shadow sapphire]

Normally I'd look it up for you, but you might be real lucky. What is the quest?

[terse hawk]

cool thnx

its for a chimera horn

[shadow sapphire]

Oop mutant parts rare. Um I don't know that ID but it should be in the more dynamic tasks add on, probably starting around #50.

[terse hawk]

thnx ill look into it later

[sly moss]

can i drag bodies?

[graceful iron]

no

[shadow sapphire]

I hesitate to ask this but why?

[graceful iron]

i hope its not the "carrying an infinite amount of stuff" exploit

[shadow sapphire]

And if your answer is not building a throne for your base then I will be disappointed in you.

[shadow sapphire]

Now that you told me it's a sad cat. I can't unsee it, and I literally have to go pet my cats.

[graceful iron]

[shadow sapphire]

I honestly always thought your icon was like a thumbs up cat or a cat pointing. Then you mentioned one time it was a sad cat, and ever since then it makes me feel sad for it and I have to pet one my cats to feel better.

[graceful iron]

oh, i was just confused how does that relate to anything right now

[shadow sapphire]

It doesn't, but usually when we are both here it's super busy and I'm too distracted to mention it. Lol. Adhd is a hell of a way to live sometimes

[graceful iron]

the cat is doing a thumbs up but the eyes are "tearing" as well

[shadow sapphire]

That cat needs love. What monster let's a cat get that sad.

[ebon girder]

when i get into a late-game zone(north) early into the game, theres dangerous psyemission levels, is this because of the brain scorcher or just because psyemissions are more and more lethal when you go north, and you just need regular protection?

[shadow sapphire]

Brain scorcher

[graceful iron]

you need the psy helmet to go north

How do you see your reputation/your relationship with a faction?

[pliant sundial]

You should be able to go to relations on your pda and you'll see how every faction sees you and each other

How do you unlock UNISG?

[terse sun]

type "isg" on the character creation screen

isg = unisg
greh = sin
renegade = renegades

or is it renegades for renegades, one of those

[pliant sundial]

where exactly do I type it? I've tried with the console and that doesn't seem to work

[terse sun]

no just type it in

no console

blank typing

[pliant sundial]

Holy shit lol

Thanks my guy!

[terse sun]

np 🙂 it's a bit counter intuitive but it's how it is 🙂

[pliant sundial]

I'll take it lol

[terse sun]

as long as it works 😄

[floral sorrel]

Minecraft respawn? Heard that was a thing

[shadow sapphire]

Well someone mislead you, it's not a thing

[brisk zinc]

I'm sure it was in the mod list at some point

I don't know/don't think it's in anymore

[floral sorrel]

@brisk zinc heard that it doesnt fit the mod since weps and armor are hard to come by

Perhaps I can RP just losing something like a wep or armor every 5 deaths 🙂

[ebon girder]

thanks!

[elder knot]

How many explosives do I need to bring during Lukash's mission why we cant have nice things?

[brisk zinc]

IIRC there are four tanks

I usually bring 10 grenades just to be sure

As in, if I manage to miss them, I can always throw some more

[elder knot]

Alright, thanks

[brisk zinc]

They should go down easily with just one grenade

[elder knot]

Ok sweet

[lyric steeple]

whats the command to learn about the tooltip issue?

ignore me.

[shadow sapphire]

Or 2 ieds plant in between tanks 1&2 and 3&4

Dangit, the dude never told me why he wanted to move bodies.

[lyric steeple]

question. is there something special i need to do to get the stash that is in the room with the librarian?

also never mind... there is an underground

just kidding just kidding. that underground is not big enough for the stash to be hiding down there

[shadow sapphire]

Honestly no idea.

[weary panther]

Any idea where I can find Expert Toolkits? Kinda need it urgently

Also any recommendations for good helmets/gas mask for mid game?

[river forge]

Does game difficulty affect damage values from bullets and such?

So if I play on Hard will I still die faster as in normal Anomaly?

Or do the new ballistics systems change that

[shadow sapphire]

North of red forest in stashes. As for helmets for mid, if you are pushing north a sphere

[shadow sapphire]

Yes hard will hurt more

[river forge]

Is that worth it in your opinion?

I’d like to play the game at an intended difficulty, basically have every Stalker be equivalent in an Ironman run

Does hard make me like tissue paper compared to other stalkers?

Or just equivalent

[shadow sapphire]

I mean honestly the only thing I truly notice is the price changes lol, I just typically avoid being shot as much as possible. Best way to describe would be in medium you can tank maybe 2 or 3 hits easy, in hard that's more of a toss up. Honestly as long as you use the right ammo they don't go down that much slower.

[river forge]

Fair enough, but if I have decent armor on hard can I be shot a bit without dying, especially by something of a lower caliber?

[weary panther]

[river forge]

Bandits can take several PM rounds to the chest but if that kills me in 1-2 hits that sucks

[warped ginkgo]

go to the side to look through that door window

and aim at the top of the fridge

that's the stash

[shadow sapphire]

I mean you'll probably take a couple more 9x18 but still suck.

[river forge]

Well if its hard but fair I’ll go for it

[shadow sapphire]

Frick it was the radio stash. I'm not crazy

[river forge]

Might as well

Thanks

[crude oyster]

i found a ppsh early on in that stash

[lyric steeple]

[elder knot]

Does having anything above maximal (2000) faction rep matter?

[waxen bay]

why is my character always grunting

[waxen bay]

why cant i upgrade it?

[north turret]

do you have the appropriate repair kit and toolkit?

[waxen bay]

yep

it says there are missing tools

but i have the right tool kit

[lyric steeple]

you need to have the right tools too.

first row is basic, then advanced, then elite

[waxen bay]

ohhhh

[carmine wyvern]

Low Overall HP or Low Leg HP while running

[heavy haven]

should i hand in the basic tools and advanced tools to a technician i like or should i keep them myself if i just got my first set of both ?

[elder knot]

You need tools for crafting, so keep 1 set of basic, advanced and eventually expert tools

You can hand in excess to technicans for more money and rep

[heavy haven]

alright thank you very much

[waxen bay]

what helmet is this?

[north turret]

one that is part of an NPC's outfit
it can be a Sphere or ACH-X, or pretty much anything else, the true item they've got equipped doesn't really change how tough the NPC is

[gritty minnow]

Is there a rifle that's considered to be the best rifle in the game? Or is everything balanced?

[north turret]

there are stronger options and weaker options
mostly it's about picking between ammo availability and how common the weapon is
5.56 and 5.45 ammo is easy to find and buy, but guns have a lot of variance, with some weapons having straight up better damage and other stats
7.62x39 and 9x39 ammo can be found often enough and are efficient, but weapons are uncommon and good variants are VERY rare, but they can be top tier
fullsize 7.62x54R and 7.62x51 NATO are stronk even on the lower tier guns, but ammo is hard to find

other rounds vary between "common enough" and "only available via crafting"

[minor bone]

hey is army warehouses on Iron man hard difficulty supposed to be radioactive everywhere? I have a mask but whenever I enter AW I am instantly met with an overwhelming amount of radiation. Its normally not like that in other modes so I was wondering if this is specific to the difficulty or not?

[north turret]

AW and north of it is stronk with radiation, but it can get stupid heavy if you have bad luck with the random radiation patch generation

[minor bone]

oh ok, that makes sense. It was never consistent so I didnt understand wtf was going on.

[gritty minnow]

Could you possibly give some gun examples for 7.62 and 9x39? All I know for 5.56/5.45 are ISG weapons as the best ones

[north turret]

same deal, ISG weapons are the top tier ones

some other options are available especially for 9x39mm

[gritty minnow]

That's odd, the ISG for 7.62 is cheaper that the 5.56 variant though

[north turret]

yup, but higher damage, and 7.62x39mm ammo is very good, if a bit heavy
basic FMJ has 30 BR and high flesh damage, AP reaches 55 BR and high flesh damage

[heavy haven]

um new dawn quest cant find the scout anyone know his location?

[gritty minnow]

Shouldn't that mean that the gun should be more expensive? Considering it has better ammo

[north turret]

close to directly south of the road to Agropom, next to a campfire

if that doesn't help, go to #🤖bot-commands and message !scout

[elder knot]

who pays the most for pdas?

[waxen bay]

is cordon suppose to be radioactive

[north turret]

you'd think that, but the 7.62x39mm guns are pretty cheap ingame already
not fully sure of the reason, might be to balance the ammo availability? not that the gun price matters in GAMMA, but still

[north turret]

high radiation spots are randomly generated upon game start
so yes, in parts
but if the entirety of Cordon is radioactive, you either have the worst luck or you've got a bug going on

[waxen bay]

im at xenotech and slept for a couple hours and reloaded into cordon but its still radioactive

[elder knot]

you probably have an artifact in your inventory giving you radiation

[waxen bay]

got none

[versed tusk]

As Norppa pointed out/asked - The entirety? are you sure you dont have something radioactive on you?

Anomalous bread maybe?

[waxen bay]

nope

[north turret]

start a new game real quick, see if you have similar radiation troubles

[waxen bay]

i checked my inv

when i took off my helmet the radiation display on my inv decreased

is that the reason why im getting radiation?

[versed tusk]

thats your resistance

[waxen bay]

weird

[versed tusk]

your rad meter is on nthe health hud, the bar above stamina

[waxen bay]

i think it fixed itself since its not going up anymore

[north turret]

if that comes up again, try cycling your HUD on and off by pressing numpad enter

[waxen bay]

ok

[gritty minnow]

Any idea where to farm Monolith npc's? For gun drops xD

[versed tusk]

Limansk/Red Forest/Radar

[waxen bay]

where can i buy 5.56 rounds

[north turret]

NATO traders
Freedom, Clear Sky, Mercenary, Ecologists
supply level 2

[bold fulcrum]

i cant replace parts in armour using the field toolkit just like in the pda manual or am i missing something here?

[grizzled hornet]

Turning on hardcore ai aim doesn’t messed mess the game up right? (Just wanna make sure)

[brisk zinc]

It just makes the game more difficult

[grizzled hornet]

Ok…

[ivory comet]

Are there any fun 9x18 smg? Or machinpistol

[final brook]

PTSD 💀

[final brook]

APS

That ones is a full auto pistol

Not sure which/if smgs use 9x18

[raven sparrow]

Sin have some sort of forcefield shielding them, does it have a BR rating? I'm asking should I use AP ammo against Sin or just burst them down with regular ammo?

Those guys are worse than Monoliths now

@ivory comet You can try converting some 9X19 smgs to 9x18, should be the best I think.

[torn totem]

can someone tell me average price of "repaired" artefact ready to sell? To me honest I dont think they are that profitable to look for, spawn rate is very little, from my understanding need atleast 3-4 of same artefact to fix em and sell, do not provide any bonuses except being radiation source, and missions because of small NPC population seems a bit easy. And im not just throwing my words towards the wind, i have full stash of various artefacts that i found myself or looted from other stalkers, but none of em im able to sell even for smallest price, and money is leaking for LLM Containers every time i find one.

[raven sparrow]

Artifacts have pretty high spawn rate though, and mainly you would use them to craft better artifacts. Its better to quest as a way to make money

[willow hawk]

Empower them to use them, or empower them to give them for a task

[torn totem]

i dont quite understand this empowering thing i suppose, it does not sound that easy. I think i just stay with doing missions n such. Artefact hunting is not my thing.

[dark umbra]

Any special way to get expert tools? ive been playing for ages, and havent been able to find any. i even just now took my ass on an 8 hour trip across the entire zone hitting every stash i have and still no expert tools. am i doing something wrong?

[raven sparrow]

expert tools are found in stashes in the norther regions

red forest and north

[dark umbra]

yup i hit every stash from red forest to generators and limansk and radar on my way back

just unlucky?

what are the chances of finding them?

[raven sparrow]

Its a pretty nice challange going north for the first time in medium gear hunting for expert tools

bad luck then

[dark umbra]

yeah, had to fight for my dam life, i was not equipped for all the giants and monolithians

[raven sparrow]

and the radiation XD

[dark umbra]

ran out of ammo 3/4 of the way through and started using broken down guns i scavenged

i mean it was fun but im just upset about the tools

[raven sparrow]

I've found 3 in 30 days, so they are rare

Zaton is a pretty easy area though, just do some missions there and hope for stash locations

You could always burn 150k-200k on medium repair kits and make one heavy armor kit with advance tools only if you run out of patiens

Was my backup plan

It'll be much easier to go north in heavy armor

[dark umbra]

ehh no i mean i could but i wanna build an exo repair kit

i have a nosorog class just sitting in my stash

and i really wanna use it

[willow hawk]

take care of barrel dmg and pen effect

[raven sparrow]

wow, I only have basic exo mesh armor, but it serves me well

[north turret]

im pretty sure that device at the portside quest is bugged, i sniped the dude carying it 4 times and he never dropped it

[wary sonnet]

Hello all! Sorry for interrupting the chat but I have a problem in-game... Not sure this is the correct channel but, just started this modpack and it seems very fun and immersive although, whenever I try reloading my PP-19 Vityaz it doesn't take any mag inside the gun also when I press R it just jerks the gun up and down and I really can't do anything.

[torn totem]

You using mags, look in game options it changed your reload key for F10 key i belive.

[wary sonnet]

I went to the controls settings and changed it to r twice... is it in the controls in the mod menu?

[raven sparrow]

Is the technician in the scientist bunker in Jupiter supposed to always be supply lvl 1? I have supply lvl 5 with ecologist.

[graceful iron]

technicians get a higher supply level when you give them toolkits for their quests

not with goodwill like normal traders

[torn totem]

Check in base game options too, im really unsure. I stopped using mags myself after having some trouble with reloading double-barrel shotguns.

[vivid viper]

hey guys, is this the channel to post vanilla gamma crash logs?

[graceful iron]

#old-bugs

[vivid viper]

i see, thanks for the info

[wary sonnet]

Thanks! Well imma desable them as well XD

[torn totem]

yeah for mags you need tons of patience lol

[raven sparrow]

@graceful iron Okay, He is a bit special since he doesn't give tookit quests.

[willow hawk]

read the addon name, in mo2, be sure to disable this addon.... then set reload to R

[wary sonnet]

Nice thank a lot all of you!!

[graceful iron]

exactly. not all technicians have toolkit quests

[pallid dawn]

are these radation patches truely random or are they tied to some object like cars etc.

[graceful iron]

they are generated when the zone is created, and they are completely random

[opal relic]

Do people usually find F1 Grenades on enemies? I just realized the only one I have seen is in skinflints store (just hit lvl.5 with freedom) and realized a complete lack of them, I got plenty of RGDs and Thermals.

[graceful iron]

f1 grenades have been disabled from most of the loot table, it was a bit too common

they are used for crafting explosives

[opal relic]

Ahhh sweet, Thanks Cat

[split cape]

So wait

Before I update I gotta delete that thing or can I just ignore that and just update as normal?

[shadow sapphire]

Delete what?

[opal relic]

You know, the thing!

[shadow sapphire]

I mean I have had no caffeine and it's not even 0700hrs so can I be held responsible if I just answer yes?

[split cape]

the translation in latest announcement

[opal relic]

11.50pm in Aus, but since no caffine then I say yes you can say yes to that!

[shadow sapphire]

I'm gonna go ahead and say yes based off the creator saying please delete before updating.

[split cape]

i assume all these small hotfixes and updates are only gamma addons and not full install

[shadow sapphire]

!version?

[split cape]

how to check?

[shadow sapphire]

Oh sorry I legit was trying to send this command. Sorry still waking up

!version

[raw raft]

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

[split cape]

no prob

version 606

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah just only install gamma add-ons is fine

[split cape]

guess grok has a better translator mod eh?

[pallid dawn]

I just did a map change with a bunch of companions to yantar and they seemingly ended up in the middle of the complex

they are in a fight now I can hear distant gunfire

is there a way to avoid this?

Hey, guys how can i access monolith war lab without glitch or noclip ? I have all documents from previous labs, read somewhere that it needs a decoder too which is in pripyat hotel strelok's apartment but door is locked and i don't have a key. I have finished all main quests story wise. Please give me some advice. Thanks

Is there a vector in Vanilla I opened the debug and can't find it

[graceful iron]

no, there isnt currently

[shy niche]

How do I fix my sensitivity from going to "Default" when I aim down some scopes ?

Driving me nuts

[waxen bay]

i tried to open a save file but i keeps crashing my game

is there a way to fix it?

does weapon condition effect companions?

are you running gamma as vanilla or are you running gamma with mods on top of it?

Hi, one of my companions blew up during emission and I can't hire a new companion since then. it's like the slot for the companion is still occupied. When I dismiss my other companion I can hire a new one but the second companion slot is still full. Any advice how to fix this pls?

[waxen bay]

gamma vanilla

[mystic finch]

report in bugs gamma vanilla then

[lime ibex]

Is it intended that you can replace the parts inside a weapon you do not have the kit for? For example, I found a groza and replaced its parts even tho I only have basic tools

[graceful iron]

you can replace most parts except the barrel on the field without any tools

!apart

[raw raft]

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

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

[lime ibex]

I know how the crafting system works but what I am trying to say is that it sounds a little unbalanced

You can repair high end rifles without the progression

[graceful iron]

you cant use a gun with a damaged barrel, the damage and AP power of the gun is heavily reduced

you cant repair or replace the barrel without the toolkits/repair kits

[lime ibex]

Can't you just clean it with a cleaning kit

[graceful iron]

not if its under 60%

[lime ibex]

Huh guess I was just extremely lucky

[graceful iron]

you can repair a high tier weapon early, its possible

but only if you find it with a good barrel and have the ammo to feed it

[lime ibex]

I found a couple of other grozas and the barrel in this one was 60%

Its a 7.62 groza so yes it has ammo

[north turret]

hi guys, I cant seem to replace the barrel on my rifle despite being at a vice, do I require some other component like a kit ?

[brisk zinc]

Yes
Tool kit and repair kit

[north turret]

Repair kit for the appropriate weapon, handgun, rifle etc?

[willow hawk]

yep

[brisk zinc]

Yes

Right click on the gun > Details

You can see which tool kit and repair kit you need

Technicians are useless, you don't need their vice

Just find a tool kit, it's literally the same thing

[north turret]

Ok thanks alot

I went to the vice thinking I could do it there, couldnt

oh okay as val tactic is classed as "advanced"

I hope the advanced tool kit unlocks that

[versed tusk]

just gotta find expert tools for that

[north turret]

oh that sucks lol

[hard seal]

is there anyway that you can make it so you can buy guns off of traders?

[versed tusk]

if you want to completely negate intended progression for gamma - go to #🤖bot-commands and type !vanilla

[tropic imp]

Guys, what's up with the rank system? i didn't test gains from kills, but seems like you gain 1, max 10 ,points from quests. it's a never ending grind now imo.

[versed tusk]

rank/rep gain was reduced a while ago

[graceful iron]

your main source of rank points is still kills

[waxen bay]

how do i make my nvg less static

[tropic imp]

So, even rp an eco must be a psyco killer to rank.very sad

[versed tusk]

by upgrading them

craft the better tier = better image quality

tier 1 is supposed to be low quality

[waxen bay]

alright

[last stream]

Are all sniper rifles compatible with DX8? (Specifically asking for Remington 700 sniper rifle, when i use it, scope bugs out and i cant ADS)

[scarlet idol]

The night terror in truck cemetery doesn't seem to spawn, is there a fix?

[north turret]

Sorry guys, I have the oracle NV set but pressing M does nothing?

ive checked the mcm keybinds and didnt notice any binds in there either

[last stream]

NVG is ,,N" i think

Does it work @north turret ?

[north turret]

no it doesnt, and the M key triggers the on/off sound for the NVG

I checked though, youre right the default keybind IS N

[last stream]

Yea, i think M works for NV scopes

To switch the NV scope on/off

[pure frigate]

when gamma usually gets update? every week? or we getting a notifications via every update?:o

[versed tusk]

hold N for NV goggles

press N to cycle brightness

M is NV Scopes

[buoyant stump]

lately it's been every 2 days or so

[pure frigate]

for me either of them didnt work so i just removed the mod >.>

[brazen canyon]

I like that artefacts/artifacts degrade but I don't like finding them in varying conditions, is there a way to change that without disabling the whole GAMMA Artifact Renovation?

[pure scarab]

so today's updates, full instalation or only gamma addons?

[versed tusk]

what?

[pure frigate]

like the nvg mode itself dont work itself for me

[versed tusk]

i mean, why not troubleshoot then instead of disabling Beef?
Unless you play on DX8 it should work

[calm temple]

Question but can the RF signal receiver pick up phantom signals?

Because I am sitting right on top of a signal that was unmarked but I absolutely can not for the life of my find out where the hell the package is

[carmine wyvern]

Run around and hold down the use key

Its either plain on the ground or inside/under an object

In a Telephone Booth, in a Bush etc.

[calm temple]

That's what I been doing, yet nothing. its that upper most right village in the swamps, next to the small tower with the stash\

[terse sun]

hmm I haven't played ecologist before so I wonder, where do we get ammo supplies and scopes and stuff? Is it somehow shared with the military? Or do I purely rely on other factions stock?

except for that nemiroff guy at yantar

[calm temple]

For that stuff, you need to go to other factions. From what I understand the Eco's basically stock no combat supplies. Just medical, and supplemental.

[terse sun]

yeah exactly, no ammo at sakharov and the other two traders aren't much help either

I wonder though why duty doesn't support the military and ecologist exclusive quest, that's one of the reasons I went with ecologist, so I can play that story line too

wait damn

MO2 is showing a cross flag "no valid game data" with 139- Craft and Repair Overhaul - Grokitach

is this normal?

[graceful iron]

artefacts dont degrade, only the junk ones do while equipped

you only empower (repair) radioactive artefacts once and just use them

#│📚manual

[brazen canyon]

I know that, I just want to find them at good condition.

[terse sun]

You're very likely not going to find an arte in good condition except for junk ones

[graceful iron]

find and edit the spawning condition in artefacts reinvention > gamedata > scripts

[terse sun]

btw, can anyone confirm whether red cross flag under mod 139 is normal or is it a glitch on my part?

[brazen canyon]

alright, will do

[graceful iron]

not normal

try right click > reinstall

[terse sun]

huh

installation file no longer exists

wtf

guess something went wrong while downloading

[graceful iron]

yes

[thick pawn]

Does anyone know how to get rid of the ugly graphical issue that is white lines and fuzziness in the distance that moves away from you? its something to do with shadows. i first noticed it in Clear Sky with Enhanced Graphics and shadows or something in the menu, enhanced lighting. and it creates that horrible shadow line/black fuzziness in the distance that moves away from u as you get closer and its carried over into anomaly, it isnt always visible but its still unnoticable once you see it. any ideas?

[waxen bay]

what is the button for "vision" in the inv

[thick pawn]

should be N

or L

L for light, N for nightvision

[waxen bay]

i put my pistol on it but when i press n it doesnt pull it out

[thick pawn]

OH

sorry, you press 4

[waxen bay]

oh ok got it thx

[thick pawn]

its nice how you can have an extra pistol slot with pistol

[graceful iron]

#│💻keybinds-in-gamma

[graceful iron]

you can try running the installer as admin > update data > only install gamma addons, if that doesnt fix it you will need a full install

update data > full installation

[terse sun]

Yeah I just went full install, out of precaution

yep, full install solved it

and that's weird because I just updated today with a full install and it didn't fix it

[last stream]

Boyos is it ,,normal" that a scope of M700 (Remington 700) rifle cant ADS on DX8?

If i try to aim down scope, it just zooms into the model of the scope and thats it

[pure frigate]

i dont know how to troubleshoot T-T but i have other issues like sometimes the terrain looks like "snowed" and i dont know why >.> having horrible FPS at Rostok Duty Base aswell but only in there

[versed tusk]

well, people in here surely can help with most of the issues.
What you're describing is gloss factor. open your console with ^ and type:
r2_gloss_factor 0.001
r2_gloss_min 0.5

[astral condor]

The horrible FPS in Rostok is something I know very well, I'm afraid. It's a common thing, A-Life is very CPU intensive and it just destroys the single core you're running on lol

To fix it, I honestly recommend two things: Switch to DX10 to save some resources, and disable Core 0

[last stream]

And can someone help me out with this, please?

[astral condor]

I think 2D shader scopes are bugged with DX8

[pure frigate]

core 0 is disabled but sometimes it turning it on

[last stream]

Sadness for me then 😦

[twin spear]

Hey, how i do to put the russian voices instead the english one

[graceful iron]

try deleting the shaders cache

[astral condor]

Can you bump it up to at least DX10? Even on low graphics?

[graceful iron]

!cache

[raw raft]

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

[twin spear]

How i put the voiced character on russian*

that o wanted to say

[pure frigate]

@versed tusk with the NVG i have and issue that i either pressing N long/shor or M i heart he noise but it does nothing like literally cant see the nightvision itself

[graceful iron]

are you sure?

How to disable Core 0: #╭📖faq message

Ill get to pc, then try it both out, dx10 as well as cache thingy 🙂

yea nothing

either im holding or just pressing

the nightvision just dont wanna come on my screen

[versed tusk]

but you have NVGs on right? i know its a stupid question but you wouldnt believe

[astral condor]

Yeah DX10 and 11 only, I'm afraid

[graceful iron]

how did no one report this before

[pure crescent]

i had a crash where do i find the file for crash

[pure frigate]

its disabled at the moment but when i had it on it didnt work I tried holding / taping N, M aswell
tried to take off the nightvision take on again

type !crash in #🤖bot-commands

[astral condor]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/shader-based-2d-scopes-151dx11engine-mod/page/3#comments here's the mod's page. Really peculiar lol

[pure crescent]

thanks again

what channel do i send my crash report to?

[graceful iron]

#old-bugs

[astral condor]

Be advised, if you want to use DX8 and 9, you'll have to type sds_enable off to disable 2D shader scopes. This does not apply to BaS weapons, and the UMP, they will have 2D scopes. Do not use NVG scopes on DX8 and 9, they will crash the game

[torn totem]

hello guys, i just noticed reloading while still aiming is a thing, i love it so much. but i noticed it only works when mag is full empty?

[graceful iron]

reloading while aiming?

[dense moss]

Um may i ask wtf is with the ghost now???

[astral condor]

phantoms, they deal psy damage

[torn totem]

yeah, im unsure if this is just a bug but i did it twice during fight, basically i was able to aim and reload at the same time, it looks very nice.

[dense moss]

They dont before thats just broken

[astral condor]

When you're low on psy health, or there's some psy mutant nearby, they will spawn the phantoms that will deal psy damage upon collision. You can shoot them or avoid them

They don't deal too much damage

[dense moss]

The spawn infinitely they can tank about 4 shells from a backshot

[astral condor]

wha?

[dense moss]

I died from 2 ghost

I shot them 4 times with a shotgun

[astral condor]

Do they deal physical or psy damage

[dense moss]

Mental and psy damage

Im getting mental damage from it

Like literally

[astral condor]

They shouldn't tank any shot, literally a 9 mil can make them disappear

[dense moss]

Yeah but they tank now

Same with the creepy zombie with long limbs

[graceful iron]

are you talking about poltergeists ?

or phantoms ?

[dense moss]

I cant even shot down the first brain scorcher anymore since they keep Killin me in the entrance

[dense moss]

The ghost that kept coming out from the ground

Poltergeist is really fun to kill when you find that glowing body of his

[astral condor]

Yeah those are phantoms, they shouldn't tank any shot

Have you updated your gamma? Gboobs and stuff

[dense moss]

Just downloaded the game last Wednesday

Is there an update already?

[astral condor]

Yeah updates are daily

Grok's a workaholic lol

[dense moss]

Man thats gonna hurt in the long run

[astral condor]

Naw, they take 10 minutes tops

[dense moss]

Well they tank shots the saiga still feels like coming out from my crutch when equipped

[astral condor]

Are you in Yantar or something lol

[dense moss]

The workaholics

[graceful iron]

you dont have to update everytime. i am still unsure whats the issue how are phantoms tanking any damage

[dense moss]

Yeo yantar

Im not getting ganged by chimeras anymore yay.....
Now getting ganged by long limb zombies

[astral condor]

Oh lol. Well, Grok's based as fuck and he's very passionate about the project, I'm just hoping it doesn't come at the cost of his personal health

[astral condor]

Fractures?

[dense moss]

Yes

They too also tank shots now

Took me 5 shotgun shells in the body to kill one

[astral condor]

I usually take them out with 6 rounds 9x18 HP

[dense moss]

The game hates me

[astral condor]

Strange, what difficulty are you playing on?

[dense moss]

Normal

[astral condor]

I'm playing on normal also

[graceful iron]

aim for the head, they are faster and a bit more tanky but shouldnt take more than 3 shells to the face/torso

[astral condor]

This is very weird lol

[graceful iron]

even on hard survivalist

[dense moss]

Took more on the torso

But on the other hand puseodog is now easy to kill

Giant i meant

Mean*

[heavy haven]

are companions like limited or smtn like is this dude unique ? so like if i run out of dudes willing to team up i will never be able to have companions ?

i am asking since he looks way diff then any other stalkers i meet and he had the option to team up

[dense moss]

Some are

I think

Some can be paid

[heavy haven]

ah alright so just depends on who i meet okay

[astral condor]

Mission specific companions operate as normal

[heavy haven]

well this is just some random dude that i had option to ask to join me

[graceful iron]

once you have enough reputation with your faction and helped them enough with tasks, some of the stalkers from that faction will accept going with you as companions

[heavy haven]

ahhh okay

[dense moss]

I usually make them an walking back pack

[finite sail]

any idea why this keeps flashing on screen ?

[dense moss]

Tab

You're pressing tab

You're pressing mission clue something like that

[heavy haven]

while we are talking about companions if i give them guns do they need ammo too or is it some kind of pull out of nowhere bussiness

[dense moss]

Ah nope

[raven sparrow]

no ammo needed

[graceful iron]

they dont need ammo

[dense moss]

Man just give someone bazooka and hide

They will do the job for you

[finite sail]

hmm seems to be stuck i dont think i pressed anything tho i just went forward during shootout and it appeared

[raven sparrow]

weapons still wear down so you need to take it from them to clean every once in a while

[night inlet]

Do technicians need X amount of time before their trade list is updated when you give them tools? I gave xenotech some basic tools and I don’t think his trades changed

[raven sparrow]

especially since they love to spray

[graceful iron]

are you doing a quest currently ?

[versed tusk]

24 hours

[finite sail]

nope

[graceful iron]

all traders restock after 24 hours

[dense moss]

If you did not change anything in the control just press tab again if im roght

[astral condor]

Restart the game, UI might be bugged

[finite sail]

yeah tab opens my inventory so thats not it

[night inlet]

Alright thanks for the info. Just making sure

[finite sail]

is this it?

[versed tusk]

i dunno what they were talking about

[dense moss]

Phantoms are stupidly op

[versed tusk]

you are not close to the end of a map?

[raven sparrow]

psy dmg in general is very high, even with good psyprotection i lose half psy health to one controller attack

[dense moss]

They spawn super near and they dont actually tank shots but they do not die instantly and still do significant amount of damage

[versed tusk]

[raven sparrow]

I think phantoms only spawn in the beginning of the lab, try pushing trough and they shouldn't spawn anymore

[dense moss]

Im still outside of the lab

[raven sparrow]

Just gotta rush it

[dense moss]

And i cant even get to the entrance

[dense moss]

I cant those enderman looking things just faster than flash

[raven sparrow]

did you get the psy helmet from the scientists?

you cant advance without it

[dense moss]

I did

I played this before

[raven sparrow]

Get hip and some other companion to help out with the mutants

[dense moss]

So i wondering why they do this now

[last stream]

Had to fire 4 shotty shells (12ga) earlier today on one. They just zoom around. Im literally more afraid of them than snorks and bloodsuckers lol

[raven sparrow]

Also npc arnt affected by phantoms so sometimes ecologist just clean the whole area by themselves

[dense moss]

Snorks was the one to watch out before and it was fine

[raven sparrow]

Try leaving Yantar and coming back another day, maybe ecologist will spawn a few squads in the complex

Free path to the lab

[dense moss]

Why do i have to watch out for phantoms and fractures now

[raven sparrow]

fractures are really nasty

they and snorks got buffed in mod

[dense moss]

They were easy before 😢

Snorks already can kill you in few hits

Why buff more...

[raven sparrow]

hitboxes are so-so, sometimes they die in one shot and sometimes you gotta empty your saiga

[last stream]

Snorks nowadays are still ez for me, takes one, max 2 buckshots from the scoped doublebarrel, even at range

[dense moss]

Snorks wasn't the problem

Fractures is and phantoms

[raven sparrow]

just bring some friends, 2 additional guns do a lot

[dense moss]

Sadnesses

Dont even have friends XD

[raven sparrow]

get hip and some other random dude

[dense moss]

I was busy killing freedom without joining duty

And now my rep is bad so bad that it makes me proud

[raven sparrow]

if you have bad rep you have to pay like 3k rubles, but people will still join

they wont follow you into the lab though

[dense moss]

Man i might just go plunder bandits

[raven sparrow]

get a good medium suit and helmet, some companions and come back later

[dense moss]

If you just know how hard to find one tool box

[raven sparrow]

you get them eventually, its a big trade up, also get some ceramic plates, does a lot in a fight

[dense moss]

I really don't have a problem in gun fights just a huge problem when 2 snorks stun locks you and kills you within 3 seconds

This game just killed my expectations for shotguns

[versed tusk]

i can show you at least 5 clips of me single shotting a damn specter with a 9mm

in MM

[dense moss]

What spectre?

The phantoms?

[versed tusk]

yes

they are literally just a nuisance

and if you dont have psy res and dont take drugs, prioritize them

[dense moss]

They're more annoying than a chimera

[versed tusk]

all in all, it sounds like you have a particular issue

[dense moss]

How does 3 bullets of 5.56 takes down a snork but 2 shots of shotgun dosnt

[dense moss]

Just them spawning too near in all directions

Ok nvm damn phantoms

I made it inside the lab but still getting harassed by phantoms

I cant shut it down since if its not blood sucker its a snork if its not a snork its a damn blood sucker but if i stop and shoot em up the phantom just spawn outside the wall and take me out

[jaunty scaffold]

Help me out please! I f'd up the load order and I didn't created a backup. How can I restore the loadorder as vanilla gamma?

[dense moss]

What's a load order?

[jaunty scaffold]

in MO2 Gamma

[dense moss]

Oh that

[versed tusk]

Open the gamma installer

[jaunty scaffold]

I just installed it, took me like 1 hour to finish. Then I immediatly f'd up 😄

[versed tusk]

wait

did you move stuff or did you just sort with something different?

[jaunty scaffold]

I disabled a couple of mods, like WPO and Skill System

Now my game crashes on new game, right after the loading completes

[versed tusk]

yeah, you're not supposed to change stuff unless you know what you're doing and how to do it

ok then

[dense moss]

Is there a way to remove the psy damage from phantoms?

[versed tusk]

go to #🤖bot-commands and type !default

[jaunty scaffold]

ty bro ❤️ ml

[dense moss]

Since spawns are rng im really having the worst luck rn from phantoms

[frank spire]

should i be worried about this

[dense moss]

Nope

Noah prob died

[last stream]

thanks this worked, enjoying DX8 with (for some reason) boosted FPS lol xD

[dense moss]

boosted fps????? i smell game changer

[last stream]

idk how or why 😄

i am half tempted to try it on DX10

lol

[jolly kiln]

So for some reason when I try to aim down sights with the deagle is just zooms in from the hip without actually aiming down sights, is there any button that caused that perhaps?

[jaunty scaffold]

Guys, why my GAMMA is so dark?

I tried modifying the lum, hemi and amb parameters but it just reverts back after a few sec

[versed tusk]

that's because Dynamic Tonemap overwrites it

MCM > Dynamic tonemap

[astral condor]

!cache

[raw raft]

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

[astral condor]

Enhanced Shaders are really wonky too

[last stream]

cache clear is a lifesaver tbh xD

[astral condor]

Fr

[jaunty scaffold]

It was Dynamic Tonemap, thank you again ^^ now I can enjoy this wonderful mod.

[astral condor]

Oh wait I remember you! How're the scopes now?

Does it even work with DX8 or did you switch to 10

[last stream]

they working after deleting cache, enjoying Remington 700 with (for some reason) boosted FPS on DX8 to the point i am tempted to try out DX10 xD

[astral condor]

Amazing! Glad things are working out for you <3
I'm honestly surprised that the scopes work in DX8, the modpage doesn't say it is supported per se so yeah. Sorry for sort of scaring you away from DX8 for a sec there lol

[errant edge]

Hi was wondering if someone could show me how to make my stalker look good at the moment the skybox is bright as hell man and just straight up not having fun with it

or show me how to make stalker look good

[frank robin]

After installing Gamma did you adjust or enable some of the other shader options? Did you enable aggressor?

[errant edge]

im not sure ill check

i have now ticked the box

[frank robin]

I believe I've used shader packs like aggressor in the past and they are a pain when it comes to skybox problems.

I wouldn't enable it unless you know what you're doing or really look into how shaders work.

Can you share a screenshot?

[errant edge]

my game yeah 2 secs

i think it sorted its self out after i closed the game cheers tho 🙂

[willow hawk]

Use basic gamma graphics

I made sure the sky isn’t a bright fuckery

[errant edge]

where do i find this? is it in game or on Mod page

[willow hawk]

Do a full install

[errant edge]

okay ill fully uninstall then do full install cheers again

[brisk zinc]

Just open the installer with admin rights

Update GAMMA data> Full GAMMA installation

[north turret]

hey

i did the process of the installation correct but i have 229 mods

:/

on what anomaly DX should i run itz

[frank robin]

I have a question: why is the sawn off toz in the loadout more expensive than the toz-104 with the foldable stock?

[north turret]

lower caliber

toz 104 is 2ga

20ga*

ant the sawn off is 12ga

lower the gauge the stronger the shell

thus more expensive gun

[frank robin]

True, but early game the toz-104 is stupid good with 94% accuracy with 50 meter range and doing nearly the same amount of damage.

[north turret]

i dont think they do the same damage

[frank robin]

You're right, the toz 104 does 10 more damage. The only drawback is that you only have access to one ammo type. The sawn off is way less accurate and much more risky, but I guess the luxury of using slug ammo offsets that? It just seems a little odd since I was able to dominate early ironman runs with the 104.

[north turret]

idk

i just downloaded it again

it keeps crashing for some reason

đi did everything correct

[frank robin]

My bad, it's the 106

[north turret]

can u help me

[frank robin]

Unless you have a crap computer you should be running it as dx11. When you did the gamma installer did you allow powershell scripts?

[sly moss]

do different sources of psy resistance stack? like if i take psy-block, etperazine, and sleeping pills?

[north turret]

yes

how many mods do i need to have enabled

330?

[frank robin]

Did you update gamma before running the full installation? And yeah, you should have around 330-340.

[north turret]

i think no, perhaps try and see if the resistance is growing in the meter

it says i have 382

tf

enabled

[frank robin]

Sounds like you may have enabled everything in the modpack, which you shouldn't do because some things are disabled until they can be fixed.

[river forge]

Is there a point to collecting more than 1 of each part?

I have 2-3 of a bunch of parts, many at 20-40% condition. Can those parts be used in any useful way, or would it be best to just keep the best one condition-wise and drop the rest?

[versed tusk]

i dont take anything below 60% for guns, 50% for armor

[frank robin]

Weapon parts below 60% are pretty much useless until you start handing tool kits to techs. Cloth parts around 40-50% condition are still useful because they can be used to repair other cloth parts. If you find a weapon with a green barrel, keep it, gradually replace all the other parts for it, and then use it. You can't remove the barrel without disassembling the gun or using a tool kit, so you're better off holding onto it and trying to find the other parts you need.

[river forge]

Thank you, I’ll drop most of them then

[versed tusk]

if you have a lot, sell them

its not much but honest money

[river forge]

Good idea

[frank robin]

Just keep in mind that when you disassemble the gun, there is a chance for you to lose parts in the process. Field stripping is almost always better.

[frank robin]

You could try and do a complete reinstall. That typically alleviates any weird issues I've run into.

Just backup your saves just in case.

[quaint shadow]

How does this CTRL over items work? The stats aren't changing in the preview its just making me crouch?

[noble island]

Does anyone know where the Scar artifact spawns more? is it electrical, fire, chemical, gravity or just rare because i cant find any and have like 5 of every other perk artifact?

[noble island]

for me it only works on armor, but it will make you crouch as well

[scarlet idol]

Pirogov sent me to the garbage to find his shiny dirt, but first I need to find his assistant who is probably dead, where is his location exactly? It says it's somewhere around the flea market but I can't seem to find him

[versed tusk]

i dont wanna spoil

but look for an entrance

around the flea market

[scarlet idol]

Yep, found him instantly as soon as you said that

And I just realized who it was

such is life in the zone

[thick python]

Why does the decorated TOZ-34 has only 49% while the regular TOZ has 76% accuracy?

[last stream]

engravings...give you no tactical advantage whatsoever

😄 😄

[thick python]

yeah but also no disadvantage in range 😄

[last stream]

i suppose so 😄

[thick python]

accuracy*

[oak osprey]

just tried to update.. crashes on start?

[graceful iron]

post the log

!crash

[raw raft]

Send your crash log where it was asked, it's inside your Anomaly folder, this is the complete path: Anomaly/appdata/logs. Send the file called xray_yournamehere.txt, you just need to drag and drop the file here, Discord will handle it for you.
Make sure you're not using any extra mods.

[oak osprey]

[graceful iron]

?

[graceful iron]

how many addons active? any red x's in the modlist?

[oak osprey]

319

ummm

no sir

[graceful iron]

#old-how-to you have the anomaly folder on desktop

!move

[raw raft]

if you need to move gamma, anomaly or both:
moving gamma: you need to find and delete the mods folder in the gammaRC3 folder, move the gamma folder and then run the installer as admin, update gamma data and full gamma installation.
moving anomaly: you can just move the folder normally but after that you need to go into the gammaRC3/mod organizer (mo2) and set the new path to the anomaly folder by editing the exe paths.

[graceful iron]

is the gamma folder on desktop as well?

[finite sail]

how can i stop psy whisper it wont go away even after restart

[quaint shadow]

Is there a way to check all known crashes? Every so often my game just straight up crashes randomly, want to know whats the problem with it. was working fine until i reinstalled them

[oak osprey]

@graceful irongamma is in it's own folder separate from anomaly..

think just a full re-install would be best?

[graceful iron]

except searching for the error in the discord search or posting the logs for someone who could know a fix to look at, there is no documentation of known crashes

[graceful iron]

no. just follow the !move instructions to move your gamma and anomaly folders to the root of the disk

[oak osprey]

kk

[graceful iron]

make sure your installer is the latest version 3.7

!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

[oak osprey]

thank you boss

[graceful iron]

there is either a psy mutants nearby or you are close to a psy installation ?

[finite sail]

oh its gone now had to restart one more time ty tho

btw can you trade for mercenary ace?

[lime ibex]

How do you get the "kill the high-ranking stalkers" quest from snitch?

Or has that been removed?

[dense moss]

Um the phantoms are really annoyingly broken is there anyway to remove the mod that cause them to do psy damage?

[graceful iron]

no

[wintry oar]

https://puu.sh/JjoPH/014fa1ea9a.png
Any equipment recommendations before venturing to red forest and beyond? I prefer going overequipped.

[dense moss]

Btw while looking through the mod menu in game what is the magazine redux?

[pseudo salmon]

Is there a way to disable Agony Saves mid-game?

[sly moss]

whats a good region to set up your base?

i was thinking in rostok cause its sorta central plus a lot of stalkers

[dark umbra]

what difficulty? it was pretty okay for me with just a saiga with the two types of slugs and some medium armor

[pseudo salmon]

I would bring more meds. Blue health kits, Ibu, and at least 5 red kits. Also bring a ammo making kit and maybe a sidearm like a hydroshock .45 or deagle

[dark umbra]

also i had a question. would turning hardcore AI aim on also make my buddies better? they suck massively no matter what guns i equip them with. and dont get me started on the LMGs, they fire a 10 round burst then just start running circles while reloading 6 times in a row

i mostly just have them come around with me as pack mules

and theyre both veterans

[wintry oar]

damn, red forest in gamma also requires psy protection?
Can I bypass it with guides going to Yanov?

[dense moss]

Nah just slap an rpg at them and hide in a corner and yes it would make them better

[dense moss]

In theory yes

[wintry oar]

do hired NPCs have infinite ammo for any gun you give them?

[dark umbra]

yeah

[dense moss]

Yep so giving them rpg is like cheat

[pseudo salmon]

you dont need psy in yanov?

[dark umbra]

i gave one a railgun

[dense moss]

Nah they suck shooting

[dark umbra]

but he only hits every 3rd shot

yeah lol

[dense moss]

Give them granade luncher

[wintry oar]

oh, I always played without them in anomaly, so had no idea.
Daamn, I do have an LMG (PKM, afaik) lying around. Do they benefit from weapon upgrades or do they work by completely different set of rules?

[dense moss]

I think if you give a gun with weapons upgrade to an bot its useless

[wintry oar]

I assume their accuracy is rank dependant?

[dense moss]

Yes

[dark umbra]

i dont think they matter, most guns ive given them were completely broken but they still used them just fine

[dense moss]

Higher the rank the better

[versed tusk]

you need the psy helmet from Yantar

the helmet is not psy res - its a progression gate

[dark umbra]

the scientist sells it for 60k

[wintry oar]

only helmet, no need to disable anything, correct?

[dark umbra]

and a few days wait time

[versed tusk]

MM and BS is optional for going north

[wintry oar]

i do have it ordered, just never picked up since didnt plan on going into Yantar's underground yet

allright, ty, time to find a veteran loner in an exo. or master if im really lucky.

[north turret]

i am stuck in a room with no doors or fittable windows. is there some kind of noclip command i can use?

[versed tusk]

do you have debug enabled?

[viscid tendon]

Freecam with numpad0 press enter and it will tp you to were camera is

If you have debug on

[north turret]

i don't have a numpad, using a 60 percent keyboard lol

is there a freecam command

There is a console command but sheit I forgot

I haven't used it in years

[versed tusk]

record_demo or smth

i dont remember either

[north turret]

Ohhhhh

demo_record

or demo_record 1

and then you just press enter when you fly to where you want

THANK YOU

dear god

ive been in that room

for

ages
