[north turret]

whenever i launch gamma everything works fine until i load a save or start a new game, when it is loading it stops responding and the screen goes black, I have to use task manager to close it

[graceful iron]

there is a cooldown and a money cost

[worn dragon]

hmm I'm pretty sure I could travel everywhere yesterday

today it's only the green house that works

[graceful iron]

debug mode allows you to travel everywhere

[radiant stirrup]

I don't remember it being bad. I have to so there soon will let you know

[graceful iron]

its a cheat code basically

[worn dragon]

maybe I'm tripping

nvm 😛 thx !

[shadow sapphire]

Do me a favor. Send the next log, send your modlist, and which windows version are you?

[north turret]

10

i’m at school rn

but i’ll send it once i can

[worn dragon]

btw guys, where can I find replacement parts for a vss?

do npcs sell those?

[north turret]

i don’t think so

[keen cedar]

mechanics can sell gun parts but i believe it depends on their tier + luck

i usually get my parts by disassembling guns and fixing them up myself

keep stuff at or over 60%, sell/dump the rest

[north turret]

how about outfits?

[keen cedar]

same

[worn dragon]

so if I have a 10% barrel for vss

it's possible to fix it up to 100%?

[north turret]

i don’t really know how to use workshops lol

[keen cedar]

go to #🤖bot-commands and type !apart

[worn dragon]

the whole repairing thing with weapon parts confuses me as well :p I almost wish I could disable it

[brisk zinc]

Debug let you travel yes but you still have to pay if you don't turn off the mod

[keen cedar]

it will teach you how to fix weapons and armors

[radiant stirrup]

only save guns if the barrel is 60% or its super rare. you can make an expensive kit to repair from 0% if its worth it, otherwise just repair 60% guns

[keen cedar]

the barrel is the hardest part to fix up if it isn't already >= 60% condition

[worn dragon]

so far all the npcs I kill drop ~10% weapons for some reason

[keen cedar]

weapon condition and part condition is separate

[buoyant stump]

also pretty sure the kit only repairs >10% parts. mechanics also sell some parts sometimes, but they're overpriced

[buoyant stump]

that's normal. most weapons you'll find will have poor parts and general condition

[radiant stirrup]

yeah 95% of them will be. take a look at the parts of the guns on dead guys, if there is a 60% part on it. disassemble and keep only the raw metal and 60% part, leave the rest

[keen cedar]

basically the effect is that it makes you have to work really hard to get your perfect arsenal lol. i really like it because it makes getting any new gun feel very worthwhile, even if it's just a shitty sks

[radiant stirrup]

also protip, make sure to look at details of guns, sometimes a shotgun wont take a shotgun repair kit, but a rifle kit 😉

[worn dragon]

it's very grindy tho

:p

[keen cedar]

oh, yes

[worn dragon]

not a fan of that

[keen cedar]

i write out actual shopping lists for gun parts

i mean nothing is actually stopping you from using that 13% gun, it'll just jam a lot

[shadow sapphire]

@worn dragon @radiant stirrup You can use the proper repair kit for the weapons Right click it -> Maintain Parts -> Replace [PART NAME]. This will give you a fully repaired part, but it will use a charge of the repair kit. You DO NOT need another one of that part to do this.

[radiant stirrup]

do you like the start of stalker, gearing up more then being kitted out and just doing quests?

[keen cedar]

and if the barrel is in bad condition it will do less damage than it would, but I've absolutely had fights where I only lived because I just grabbed a gun off the floor and started blasting

[split plume]

the hobo phase is always the most fun tbh

[terse hawk]

it's grindy when you first start but after you get a decent rifle that can down mid tier stalkers it's a pretty smooth ride from there

[worn dragon]

I guess doing quests and finding loot 🙂

[radiant stirrup]

yeah I agree, that's the appeal I think, grindy sounds bad. but hoboing gives you a solid goal and makes it fun and challenging when you got to kill a group of people with a 20% pp and 3 bullets

[worn dragon]

there's definitely a lot to learn

[radiant stirrup]

fair enough. you may want to #🔨modded-gamma-support to find your own style of play then, because it is grindy by default

[worn dragon]

idk the difference between anomaly and gamma to be fair

[radiant stirrup]

ah

[worn dragon]

like idk how gamma affects all the mechanics

[terse hawk]

that's actually like 80% of getting out of hobo phase to being well off and having a john wick armory to pick guns from

#│📚manual lays it all out, you can use ctrl + f to search for specific things when it comes up as you play

[split plume]

the biggest difference so far for me is not being able to buy guns

i looted an ak-74 off some guy and now my main goal is to fix it up which is gonna take a while i think

[shadow sapphire]

There is, but the best way to explain the reasoning is that the entire idea with GAMMA progression, is a slow and steady progression that rewards you for doing tasks, and exploring. Basically if you play the game the whole game (meaning going to each map, and talking to NPCs and exploring) you will steadily build up to better and better gear. This prevents 6 hours into the game, having the best gear and just running around not being challenged anymore.

[worn dragon]

I see

[radiant stirrup]

and to be clear, gamma is a collection of over 300 mods added to anom; a standalone game that uses stalker assets to make an open world version of it

[split plume]

lmao that was my issue kinda with vanilla anomaly, i got a rifle with a nice sight on it in like garbage and that thing carried me pretty hard

whereas now im still using the starter shotgun and i cant just snipe everyone i see (although using slugs does give you some pretty good range), fighting in the early game is just way more intense

[shadow sapphire]

This, and when you kill them and find that good good, man is it awesome.

[radiant stirrup]

haha yeah I used my starter pistol and only the pistol for like 30 real hours of game

[lyric steeple]

as i have stepped up my knowledge, I have started with crappier and crappier guns. makarov life!

[subtle moon]

i picked the PPSH at start and god damn, i loved that gun, had it for ages

[radiant stirrup]

I found a completely broken tactual usp near the start, love that gun. still use it now

[lyric steeple]

nice!

[split plume]

there should be a mod to let you name a gun and it seperates it from other of the same gun in your inventory, this way we can remember our starter guns that were with us through the toughest of times

[lyric steeple]

thats pretty much my favorite part of this game, finding a gun and building it out.

[devout heart]

My previous run through was plagued by this issue. I never found a fix, but healing at the medic would solve the issue until the next time I caught a burst of rounds from a mono.

Then, the cycle would repeat itself.

[lyric steeple]

do yall pull high durability parts off guns when you are in the world? is it worth using durability of plyers to pull out decent parts to sell? or do yall completely ignore guns that you dont need/want?

[shadow sapphire]

Field strip doesnt use durability

[lyric steeple]

😮

[radiant stirrup]

always disassemble a gun if it has 60% part. never know when you'll need it

[shadow sapphire]

Thats why you field strip if you only want somethings, but if you want upgrades or materials, or the barrel you dissasemble

[terse hawk]

only if it's a barrel, dont need to disassemble, you're actually risking not receiving the part if you dont strip it since disassembly is rng

[split plume]

yea its pretty great field strip exists

[terse hawk]

also you only need 1-2 green gun part, save for the barrel

since you can just take out the part if you wanna use it on another gun

[radiant stirrup]

didn't know it was rng, that explains the missing parts sometime! haha

[terse hawk]

yeah doesn't happen often but when it does it sucks

[lyric steeple]

yeah if it has upgrades ill disassemble, but i did notice you dont always get the upgrades out

[shadow sapphire]

No. Disassembly shouldnt Eat a whole part I believe unless that part is extremly low durability.

[lyric steeple]

the part or the upgrade?

[terse hawk]

and if you dont mind lugging around a shitton of parts, i think it's like 30 kgs of gun parts = ~10-20k ru

[worn dragon]

is there any way to launch just Anomaly once i have already installed GAMMA?

[shadow sapphire]

Upgrades is straight RNG. I was referring to parts

[lyric steeple]

ok cool

[brisk zinc]

The parts thing is bugged for armors

[shadow sapphire]

not really, but you can try directly opening the launcher from the anomaly folder.

[brisk zinc]

As in, when you disassemble an armor, let's say a part is 50%

You'll get the part but with 49%

[terse hawk]

you can make a shortcut with mo2, its below the run button

[brisk zinc]

I already told Grok this sometime ago

[lyric steeple]

i figured that was a feature.

[brisk zinc]

But I don't remember if he knows, I think he knows

And no it's not a feature, it's clearly a bug

Parts that disappear on armors when you disassemble them, I think it's a feature

Because you can clearly read "X has been cut" or something

[shadow sapphire]

I dont believe thats a bug... if it is I can fix it easily. But part of removing the parts is literally the chance of damaging one, as you are using a multi tool or knife to try and cut it up.

[shadow sapphire]

No that display is actually bugged. You still get the part XD

[brisk zinc]

The 50% > 49% it's clearly a bug my friend Larkin, it happen with every armor part and every condition

I don't remember if it happen with gun parts as well

But it happen with armors

[lyric steeple]

ehh, figured since changing out parts from guns without a workbench would degrade the gun, ripping up armor would dmg bits

[brisk zinc]

Changing parts it's another story

[shadow sapphire]

Its literally coded to do that...

[worn dragon]

wait but that still launches anomaly + gamma I think?

[brisk zinc]

And yes changing parts without a tool kit and all that, degrade the interested part

If you see a 50% part, it should be 50% when you disassemble the whole item

[radiant stirrup]

you know its gamma if the welcome screen says gamma

[brisk zinc]

Especially since the whole GAMMA thing is about having stuff on 50 and 60

Because anything else lower is difficult to repair/expensive/not worth

[brisk zinc]

We need Grok on this but I'm sure it's a bug

[terse hawk]

yea it does, make sure you select the option you want with the dropdown (like diff dx version/avx on off)

[lyric steeple]

interesting, figured that was part of the hardcore aspect. sometimes you get shit parts from items.

shrug

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah, that was my thing of it makes sense if Im using a swiss army knife or grooming kit to rip up and armored suit, pretty good chance im gonna fuck it up.

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah let me know what he says. If its unintended its a very quick fix.

[subtle moon]

so how exactly do i get permanent peace with a faction? i get sidornovich to broker a temporary peace, but then what?

[shadow sapphire]

Build up good will with them

[wanton lark]

hi where is installer? is boomsticks and sharpsticks the name now?

[subtle moon]

will they stop sending bounty squads after me if i do do you think?

[shadow sapphire]

TBH I cant predict anything about bounty squads right now... The mod for it is... an issue

[subtle moon]

oh

maybe i should disable them then

[radiant stirrup]

relationships are balancing act, improve relations with freedom and duty get upset. but you'll need to become neutral with a faction by doing quests to not be kos

[shadow sapphire]

Im sorry, I am not quite comprehending your question. Are you asking how you install?

[wanton lark]

yes

[shadow sapphire]

mmmmm Do you have one set on your right now?

[shadow sapphire]

#old-how-to

[subtle moon]

yeah i think so larkin

[shadow sapphire]

Save and Exit and send me the log.

[subtle moon]

oh i dont have any bugs or anything larkin

[wanton lark]

yeah i click download and it downloads boomsticks and sharpsticks

[subtle moon]

the game is working fine

[wanton lark]

and its 1.5.1

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah I know. But you cant disable it if a squad is coming for you, unless you reload or that squad is properly spawned.

[subtle moon]

where is the log located?

!log

[versed tusk]

please click the correct link

[wanton lark]

the latest link isnt the correct one?

[versed tusk]

[wanton lark]

gamma rc3?

[wanton lark]

ah ty verymuch

i not so good at mods

[versed tusk]

🤐

[shadow sapphire]

Ah you beat me to it, and its prettier -_- LOL

[radiant stirrup]

don't just click on the first link you see, read what the text says and do it slowly.
you have to follow it step by step or you will mess something up

[wanton lark]

ok i really should of scrolled up

sorry guys

[shadow sapphire]

No worries

[versed tusk]

lightshot is best imho - edits with arrows and markers are too useful 😄

[fathom mortar]

so, I was able to use the handgun repair kit to replace parts.. without replacement parts. Is that normal?

[shadow sapphire]

Yes, but it used up the charges on your kit.

If you just replace the parts via field strip and dragging the new part on, or via the workbench, it wont use charges of the kit.

[fathom mortar]

Ohhh okay

Well that's cool. I like all the options then

[shadow sapphire]

Basically you can fix a gun with just a kit, but its expensive. Or you can get the parts, and its basically free.

[split plume]

where do artefacts appear after a blowout btw? randomly all over or near anomalies only

[subtle moon]

randomly all over

oh artifacts, i read anomalies, yeah the artifacts require a anomaly to be near i think at least i have never seen one that wasnt

[static patio]

what's up with the traders? maybe i'm too used to trader overhaul (and have only been up to rostok so far) but nobody sells or is willing to buy most guns.

or armors for that matter

[subtle moon]

you cant buy armor or guns in this mod, you have to find them and repair them

as for selling them im not quite sure how it works, they are willing to buy some guns

[brisk zinc]

It's a bug, if they can buy guns

They can't buy them period, same goes for armors

[topaz trench]

I got a small problem on gamma

[static patio]

damn. do they sell attachments, scopes, sights etc though? so far all traders seem to sell the same 3 suppressors and kits for the lebedev and the aps

[topaz trench]

Can someone help me?

[brisk zinc]

No

[topaz trench]

Ight

[static patio]

based

[brisk zinc]

Just ask my man, don't ask to ask!

We're here to help

What's the problem

[subtle moon]

yeah they sell attachments etc, you have to raise supply level to get good ones tho

[graceful iron]

#│📚manual they sell ammo and attachments depending on your goodwill with the faction

[static patio]

shiiet, looks like i'm reading the manual then. thanks

[brisk zinc]

@topaz trench please don't use multiple channels though, just ask in one

[worn dragon]

is it even possible to find weapons in GAMMA? like in stashes or in the world?

I can't find anything

[topaz trench]

So i installed yesterday gamma and made a savegame just to accommodate with it and i noticed that the traders are not selling weapons is is just on me, is it the mod that way.. idk

[brisk zinc]

In the world, no
In stashes... yes

[static patio]

corpses are your friend

[topaz trench]

Sure, sorry

[brisk zinc]

It's literally the main feature, they don't sell weapons and armors

[topaz trench]

Oh ok, then

Thanks

[brisk zinc]

Read the #│📚manual for more informations

It's also in your PDA in game

[topaz trench]

I will

[brisk zinc]

If you have more questions, ask here

[subtle moon]

hmm so im trying to get peace with a faction, but im not allowed close enough to talk to them

dont quite get how i can raise goodwill

[brisk zinc]

Disguise

And do stuff for them

[subtle moon]

oooh

what if i join a faction thats at peace with them?

[brisk zinc]

In that case you should be at peace with them but I'm not sure 100%

[subtle moon]

ill find out

[boreal jewel]

Has anyone else got issues with upgrading binoculars? When I open the workshop and select the binoculars in the upgrade tab they seem to require whatever the last toolkit was I used (handgun, advanced, army rifle, etc) and even with all kits in my inventory I can't apply the upgrades. Also if I click (maybe I double clicked?) on the required toolkit icon at the bottom right it CTD'd

[versed tusk]

dont upgrade binos

ever

[boreal jewel]

Lol. Have I missed that instruction somewhere?

[versed tusk]

not rly - but yeah they either CTD you or dont work properly after etc

[boreal jewel]

I don't really even know why I was trying, I use my scope rather than them most of the time anyway...

[sturdy stone]

you're not the only one, I miss the vanilla SoC binos sometimes, especially when my targets are hiding in the goddamn AI-transparent bushes

[terse hawk]

#🖇old-mods-posting message
there's this addon that adds targeting to the EOTS

[sturdy stone]

Bless you, my child

[subtle moon]

ah ok can confirm, if you join a faction thats at peace with a faction you have almost genocided all is forgiven, hehe

[radiant stirrup]

just checked frames seem about equal to rostok

[inland cairn]

weird, maybe i should update my drivers

but thanks for checking

[north turret]

Seems that upgrading them at a mechanic doesn't dc you. But never ever get the night vision upgrade

Only the increased zoom

[terse hawk]

do you have a stash there? if you have too much in your stash fps drops like crazy

but yeah yantar is weird, sometimes i restart and get +20 fps

[lusty iron]

That was extremely simple. Thank you very much for the help.👍

[past zodiac]

whats the best thing to resist burner anomaly early on? Stuck to a document pickup mission on army warehouse burner house.

[drifting coyote]

Does BaS work in gamma? If i got it correctly, gamma is based on 1.5.2 and BaS only got a 1.5.1 version.

[brisk zinc]

BaS is literally inside GAMMA

It's so deep inside GAMMA that you can't even remove it

(you're asking if it works, yes it work )

And yes it works even now that Anomaly is on 1.5.2

• the author said that he'll soon release an update

[drifting coyote]

Thx. I am installing it right now and i came across this suggestion to manually put BaS into the mods folder and was wondering if it will work.

[brisk zinc]

Ah that one

I hate that thing

It's just a recommendation, it's not obligatory

You don't have to download manually BaS, the installer does it for you, but if you want to "buy some time", you can do that yourself

Then you move the zip inside a folder and the installer will grab the mod directly from that folder, without downloading it again

[drifting coyote]

Perfect, because i already have it downloaded

[terse hawk]

uhh wdym? pretty sure most of those anomalies you cant stop damage if you step in them, unless you have volat to cap out resist

[past zodiac]

i just ran into it. wasted my armour and stims to get it

[terse hawk]

or if you mean the ambient danger around the anomaly patch then not sure but something like ~20% should negate it

yeah you need to dodge it you cant just run into it

when you have volat and cap out resist then you can run willy nilly

[past zodiac]

i crafted body cooler but it only gives 1%

i got it but this random stashes are gonna kill my ironman run at some point

[terse hawk]

to be clear you mean the actual burners and not just the environmental damage right?

[past zodiac]

no no the environmental

[terse hawk]

oh yea, idk the exact number but around 20% should be safe

[past zodiac]

i couldnt walk, health damage, armour damaged ..etc

[terse hawk]

look for the suits whose descriptions say something like "designed for anomalies"

[past zodiac]

oh ok

[terse hawk]

they usually have a decent resist

[devout ginkgo]

This is probably a dumb question but how does fast travel work in gamma? Outside of paying guides

[shadow sapphire]

By default: You can right click stashes (of yours) Beds, and the green house icons and select fast travel, or get cost (ON PDA) it has a 6 ingame hour cooldown, and is about 3-4x more expensive than a guide.

[devout ginkgo]

Oh ok. Thanks

[terse hawk]

i believe price is also an exponential decay, so you're gonna get scammed if you pay to travel somewhere close

[lyric steeple]

does this only work with backpacks when you "Place Stash"

[zinc scarab]

is there some reason sakharov wouldnt be selling the melter?

[graceful iron]

disabled a vanilla gamma addon or you already bought one for the day ?

[zinc scarab]

ive never bought one before just came to yantar for the first time looking for one

and i turned on mags redux but thats it

[subtle moon]

the perk artifacts have no use in crafting right?

[brisk zinc]

You use them for something IIRC + they're good for the melter

[winter island]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/disassemble-all-items
is it ok if i put this addon ? i dont see any file overwritten

[brisk zinc]

Ask in #🔨modded-gamma-support next time

Let's see if someone have an answer for that

Okay he's not writing anymore

[winter island]

lol ok moving there

[brisk zinc]

It should be fine but I remember some problems related to it

[shadow sapphire]

Yes

[zinc scarab]

started a new playthrough as ecologist in yantar and sakhy sells the melter now but didnt on my loner playthrough, still not sure whats wrong

[winter island]

Another question for the day. When i start to have hundred #of items in my inventory, it starts to freeze whenever i open it. Was it because of me installing the game on HDD and not SSD ?

I5 7400
16GB RAM
RTX 3060ti

I have this problems for as long as i played SoC, happens the same with fallout series

[winter island]

Not enough reputation maybe ?

[subtle moon]

nah its normal when you open very large stashes, my crafting stations hangs for like a second solid

but you have hundreds of items on your person or?

[zinc scarab]

brand new run was only level 1 just like loner starts as, which i figured might have been the problem but its not like im comparing vs a bandit start

[winter island]

I guess so, but i want to know which part of my pc should be upgraded for this problem to cease. Looting 20bodies takes a lot of time.

Yes i have like hundreds of items on me (weightless junks etc) and more on mu stashes

[split plume]

its not worth giving basic tools and such to technicians right?

[subtle moon]

i think thats just a limitation of the engine and you cant really upgrade it away

[winter island]

Aw sucks

[subtle moon]

you'll have to carry less stuff hehe

[shadow sapphire]

SSD does help, but as Bralder said the issue is you just have too much. It is one of the reasons we weight limited stashes.

[winter island]

I put two more zeroes on that limitted weight 🤭. Im a hoarder

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah so I am I, I just use different stashes as you can build them. And spreading the items out helps XD.

[split plume]

what do i need to disassemble to obtain wooden parts?

[marble ivy]

hello, what graphic settings affect the anomalies?

[graceful iron]

guitars, military shovels and fire wood

[lyric steeple]

if you have an ax, you can harvest from tree's

[worn dragon]

the stashes I find are empty

is that normal?

ones that I find randomly, not marked

[lyric steeple]

yes

[subtle moon]

yeah, only marked ones have loot

[lyric steeple]

only the marked ones have stuff in them

[worn dragon]

any way to change that?

[lyric steeple]

dont play gamma?

[subtle moon]

no, thats kinda the core of the mod hehe

[worn dragon]

sadge

I get the idea behind gamma

but to me - a person who only beat the original stalker games years ago

[terse sedge]

yo i can barely see the darkhole anomalys which settings affect them? the ones in swamp etc

[lyric steeple]

you get a stash from 90+% of all quests

[worn dragon]

a lot of the mechanics are anti fun XD

[lyric steeple]

this is litterally the most fun i have had in a game

[subtle moon]

you can tailor the experience a lot in the MCM settings, for instance you can up the "droprate" of discovering stashes

[warped ginkgo]

what do you mean anomalies?

they are only particles, can't be toned down unless you disable the modified particles addon

[cold compass]

I'm having a fatal error thats occuring when I shoot certain zombie models. I have HD models and Dux running. Followed the instructions in #custom-textures for activating HD but had to reactivate Dux because loading into Rostok was giving a fatal error while trying loading voronin.ogf which HD doesn't have. Anyone ever have a similar issue?

[warped ginkgo]

#🔨modded-gamma-support

[cold compass]

Thats where the question should go? Thank you.

[magic rivet]

Is Blue tape AK from BaS?

[dire hedge]

Are night vision goggles supposed to be so dark? They are basically useless when underground without another bright light source..

[subtle moon]

theres a MCM menu where you can change them more to what you want

[dire hedge]

whats's MCM and where do I find it? 😄

[lyric steeple]

you can change the night vision settings with n

changing the brightness

[rugged herald]

Its probably something simple however how do i remove the heavy rain particles on the screen when it rains - i know its for realism but man i cannot see anything lmao

[subtle moon]

MCM is the Mod Configuration Menu which you can see when you press escape, then tehres Garf's NV or some such in that menu

[dire hedge]

I know this, but it does not make them better in any way 😅

[dire hedge]

thanks! will try that

[subtle moon]

Beeff's NVG actually its called

[shadow sapphire]

Does anyone have a question not answered?

[lyric steeple]

why are you so awesome...

[shadow sapphire]

Thank you! I try, I found a bug and had to get a fix to Grok, and I look back at discord and all the channels are busy XD Instead of trying to read all three figure I would just ask, and if someone did they could speak up.

[subtle moon]

actually i was wondering something, is loot randomly generated on the NPC or can they only drop what they are wearing? like for instance i will only have a chance at getting a exosuit from a stalker in one

[shadow sapphire]

The second. Its random in the sense of what you get off them excluding weapon and armor and ammo is random, and the chance of the armor dropping is also random. But it will almost always be what they are wearing.

[subtle moon]

ah okay, good, thank you

[dire hedge]

found it and tweaked it a bit thanks ^^ Do you know if I can turn down the brightness of lamps etc while using NVG?

[lyric steeple]

bullets work great to turn down the brightness 🙂

[subtle moon]

hmm, maybe its the gain slider? i havent really messed around with it

[dire hedge]

can't shoot out lamps sadly lol

[dire hedge]

seems to work ^^

[rugged herald]

Probably a simply fix but any idea how to remove the heavy rain particles on screen whenever it rains? Or atleast reduce it?

[shadow sapphire]

@warped ginkgo Help pl0x. Graphics thingies.

[subtle moon]

are you wearing a helmet with a visor on it? there is a setting to remove raindrops then

cant quite remember where it istho

[warped ginkgo]

rain droplets? as bralder says, its a vanilla setting option you can enable/disable in visuals tab

[rugged herald]

Ahh sweet as, thank you

[shadow sapphire]

Fucked if I know. I just literally play with shit till I like the look in those menus and have decent frames? I literally dont even look at names half the time.

[summer crag]

Why is it that every time I cross Cordon bridge there's a pack of mutants waiting for me on southern side?

Kind of immersion breaking the way they all charge

stream of cats, dogs, boars

[subtle moon]

wonder if it might be some kind of bug, i had what felt like 20 chimeras charge me the instant i loaded into Radar

[summer crag]

it seems like a script triggering

[subtle moon]

you can tweak the mutant population and spawn rate in the MCM settings, but it takes several ingame days to have an effect

[summer crag]

in Cordon it's just a bit south of the railway bridge

I don't mind mutant population

[subtle moon]

yeah, i never had that happen there

[summer crag]

these should sort themselves out

Boars vs dogs

survival of the fittest and all that

but I do mind stream of mutants going for me like they are on the corner in gran turismo 5 😄

[terse sedge]

he means the explosion anomalies i dont know the right name, they are in cordon and swamp a lot, if u go in they punch u i guess?

i looked at his screen and they are accualy impossible to see almost, but we are not sure which graphic settings affect them, he has everything on max settings

dont think so but you can crouch into low crouch, makes u be on the same height as the sitting down people

ye if u do the low crouch it feels like u sit down

[north turret]

is it normal that the game takes like 10 minutes loading a new game? and yes, I installed it in a SSD

Oh wait, nevermind, just changed the DX version and that pretty much fixed it 👍

[hollow moon]

hey guys how do i save my settings i changed in game etc before i do any kind of update, and also where can i find or buy army rifle repair kits and heavy amor repair kits

???

[shadow sapphire]

You make the kits. You can buy them after giving an advanced kit to a technician. But make sure you keep one. Also follow this:

!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

[chilly saddle]

Is the landmine usable in game?

[shadow sapphire]

Right click place

[chilly saddle]

Sometimes doesn't pop up for me

🤷‍♂️

[shadow sapphire]

Huh.

!modlist

[raw raft]

Send your mod list where it was asked if you're using the command in another channel: #╭📖faq message

i think there is a variant of IEDs that doesnt have the option to be planted, could be the ones from random stalker quest rewards. i have had some of them before but rarely and i am not sure where i got them exactly but it was never bought or crafted so its either looted or a quest reward

[shadow sapphire]

hmmmm

Will check since im headed in to game to test something now

[graceful iron]

unless there are "old" or "bad" variants of them like ammo, i have no idea what it could be

[dire hedge]

So I tried tweaking the NVG as best as possible, but in underground levels like disabling miracle machine even gen3 are completely useless. Too blurry and the moment there is a bit of light you can't see anything, even if you lower it with N. Does anyone have a fix for this or can link me their NVG settings? Glowsticks and Headlamp outperforming a gen3 NVG shouldn't be a thing imo 😅

[uncut blade]

Have you guys ever experienced headshot sounds on enemies sounding really loud? like it feels like the enemy is right in front of you when he is far away

I think the sounds are from the Hit Effects mod but I'm not sure if there's a way to config that.

[shadow sapphire]

You didnt break his armor

[uncut blade]

the sound is for not breaking the armor? I'll do some tests when I'm back in game, it just felt very artificial anyway

[shadow sapphire]

So only explosives showing in debug are the 2 IED and the mine, I can place all of them.

[shadow sapphire]

!version

[raw raft]

Go to your \GAMMA RC3\.Grok's Modpack Installer folder, open version.txt and write the number you can see.

[graceful iron]

its not a separate item then? even though they dont stack in the inventory when you have both of them at least from what i noticed

[shadow sapphire]

If there is.... Its not in debug XD. Idk. I see the little wing mine thing, and the 2 IEDs

[somber roost]

Is there a mod that adds a few more stalkers? Went to the pump station and the fishing thing and there were no clear sky’s at the base🤷🏻‍♂️wouldn’t really call it a base atm

Atp*

In settings I have it set to 1

[shadow sapphire]

A - Did you do the clear sky quests. B - When you say none at base do you mean CS base or the little fishing village?

[mortal mist]

Is there a mod or smth to delete the ks shotgun

[graceful iron]

no?

[mortal mist]

Its to powerful

[terse sedge]

use a broken one

xd

[graceful iron]

what do you mean exactly ?

[somber roost]

1 There was none at the fishing thing. It said “Clear sky’s base” when I walked into the area tho. 2 no I didn’t do any quest for them 3 and the pump station is completely empty. I’m new to gamma but I just thought that was a lil base for them

[somber roost]

^

[mortal mist]

Bruh what

I mean monolith uses it

[graceful iron]

the "clear sky base" isnt their base, its the entrance to a hidden base

[terse sedge]

once u do some quest for them they will fill up the swamp more

[graceful iron]

its not as broken in gamma, its been nerfed and mostly removed from npc loadouts

[mortal mist]

Good god thank you

[dire hedge]

622

[shadow sapphire]

Oh man. Yeah you are on the broken NVG patch

[somber roost]

Ah ok thank you 🙏ah while I’m here…as I said imma newb lol if I find a gun I really like, and it has a broken barrel, What’s the best way to fix it? Or am I looking for a better one?

[shadow sapphire]

Update, Full Install required.

[mortal mist]

Oh and if u press on the game diff. Settings but not change them do i still get invictus or im tripin?

[dire hedge]

that explains it lmao. Can I keep my savefile somehow?

[terse sedge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oohStQHPsfk

[shadow sapphire]

Either collect a barrel for it, or use a charge of the appropriate repair kit and right click maintain parts replace barrel

[shadow sapphire]

!full

[raw raft]

A Full Install does NOT remove saves, nor does it mean you are redownloading everything. A full install will simply check every mod in the pack, and any that need to be updated will be updated.

[graceful iron]

keep the gun and repair it once you have the repair kit for it, which you can craft using the 3 toolkit tiers (basic/advanced/expert)

[terse sedge]

there is a more indept one on youtube aswell but this one covers it mostly

[dire hedge]

gotcha, so I just open the installer and click on "update GAMMA.data -> Full GAMMA Installation" ?

[mortal mist]

Yeah

[dire hedge]

Thanks a lot guys!

[shadow sapphire]

Run as admin

[terse sedge]

just make sure u got the right folders n shit

[mortal mist]

Not a computer nerd but why run as admin

[shadow sapphire]

Because the installer uses powershell scripting to move things around. If you dont run as admin good chance windows says f yourself and the installer cant do its job

[mortal mist]

Oh ok

[graceful iron]

it was added as a step to the installation to fix a windows error caused by a specific addon's file structure being too long, and it generally keeps the antivirus from messing the installation process

[mortal mist]

Man no cap i love the comunity and the creator+admins

[terse sun]

has the rad coughing been disabled? I haven't heard my guy cough in a long time but I started losing health from rads like I normally would in anomaly

[graceful iron]

the amount of radiation for coughing was increased

not by much

[dire hedge]

absolutely man.. I fell in love with the mod but the community is great as well

[terse sun]

ok that might explain, I have very good rad protection so I'm not getting rads often, and even then in small amounts (carrying artis and stuff), so maybe that's the reason - but what about rad damage though? I don't remember taking a rad DoT effect before, has it been added?

[mortal mist]

Yup👍

[pure crescent]

how do you change you barrel type for desert eagle gold to 50 cal.?

[uncut blade]

100%! It's actually refreshing considering the state of gaming communities nowadays.

[graceful iron]

over time? this is a vanilla feature that wasnt very obvious because of the coughing damage

[terse sun]

yeah, over time, maybe I haven't registered it before yeah, just checking if something is broken with my install but so far so good 🙂

[graceful iron]

you dont, you can just upgrade the weapon to fire 12.7x55 through the upgrade tree

it will only have one bullet in the gun tho

[wooden wolf]

So I have this quest in Limask to find a package at 45MHZ

In the southern part

What does it mean exactly

[graceful iron]

the messages on the pda? its a side quest where you can go to the given area and use a RF receiver to find a package hidden somewhere and open it for loot

[wooden wolf]

What does this loot possible have?

[mortal mist]

Turn on 45 mhz go to the southern part and walk arounf until u hear a lot of beeps

[wooden wolf]

How do I do that?

Sorry if I sound dumb

[mortal mist]

U need a rf reciever

U should do them ngl

[wooden wolf]

Well yeah, I have it

[mortal mist]

There pretty good

Get it and press m1/m2

To increase / decrease

[wooden wolf]

Ah ok

[graceful iron]

random items, from ammo to medical and sometimes artefacts

[mortal mist]

Yeah there specific drops like only med only ammo part etc

Ammo, gun parts*

[mighty igloo]

any way to turn off the new shader with this new update. It makes everything look like it snowed. I am sure it looks nice when all the brown ugly textures are on but I hate them so I turned them off. 🙂

[graceful iron]

#old-bugs message its not an intended look, change the gloss factor using console

grok is trying to tweak it to look better, #📢announcements and #📢development

[terse sun]

unless those guides are outdated, there are some glossing fixes over at #│🔧troubleshooting too

[somber roost]

whats that mean? just a random crash

[terse sun]

I'm getting white floor and trees now too and I followed the january glossing guide, I'll try larkins suggestion too

[north turret]

^^im getting this issue as well, regardless of gloss settings.

I assume its the shader issue that Grok says he's working on

[terse sun]

but the thing is, I have the shaders disabled completely, unless there is some hidden stuff going on

[north turret]

Idk either. I'm stuck with you

[solid spire]

Why is the radiation in Yantar Factory so bad?

[graceful iron]

when did it happen?

[graceful iron]

depends on your gasmask

[solid spire]

In announcements Grok said to change some values in your console, did you try that?

[solid spire]

Yeah I figured that I need an upgrade for sure but I never remember it being this bad lol

[terse sun]

yeah I'm fiddling with it right at the moment

larkin suggestion of gloss factor 6 seems to work for now

[solid spire]

Why can I not aim down my scope? I'm pressing right click but it does a zoom instead. It's not the free zoom button that was rebinded either, I can press the free zoom button and it works differently than this

[shadow sapphire]

Press v

[subtle moon]

can i use the Gerber Downrange Tomahawk to dismanle weapons and armor? description claims its a multitool

[solid spire]

Awesome thanks

Normal SKS?

[solid spire]

Yeah

[shadow sapphire]

Check under newly added addon seperator at the bottom shaders compilation. I have no idea though if it can just be turned off. Let me know

[exotic hemlock]

Can monolith see in the dark? feels like most people cant see me when its pitch black but a lot of monolith troops can pinpoint exactly where I am even when i think im being sneaky. I feel like i might've asked this before, so apologies if this is a repeat question.

[terse sun]

hmm there is this stash location in radar in the house attic near the antennaes and for some reason I cannot loot it, any ideas?

[split plume]

how do traders level up? i noticed one of them leveled to 2 and got a bunch of new stuff but how did this happen exactly

[terse sun]

yeah, it works for now though so I'm kinda scared to tinker with it 😄

goodwill and bringing them tools

[split plume]

ah it mustve been goodwill then cause its a normal trader

Are you playing on dx8?

[raw raft]

If you're playing (or if you want to play) with DX8, you'll need to do something first (this also applies to NVG): #╭📖faq message

[shadow sapphire]

Follow that guide @north turret

[exotic hemlock]

possibly really dumb question- but how are artefacts meant to be used? It feels like leaving one on my belt drains its durability without it like- being used for anything. Am i meant to be hot swapping artefacts onto my belt when the time arises? like "Oh im being shot at- let me run to cover and put on my ballistics resist artefact" or do some artefacts just drain really fast?

I know they're a big part of the game but ive only recently started actually trying to use them cuz i was so afraid of wasting what i had in the early game cuz you can craft lower stuff into better stuff

Apologies if my tone seems aggressive- im just curious about how im meant to use them

[south patio]

Anyone know how long days are irl in GAMMA?

[shadow sapphire]

#│📚manual

[exotic hemlock]

The note about artefacts doesnt seem to mention anything about durability drain- im aware i can repair my artefacts with the artefact melter- im just confused as to the speed at which they drain or- when im supposed to be using them in the first place- unless somehow the randomization of artefact durability happens every time i load a new zone?

[buoyant stump]

only the junk artifacts drain so once you get some actually useful ones you only need to repair them once. the junk ones drain fairly fast and i don't think there's many that are really useful

[exotic hemlock]

Ah! thank you.

[buoyant stump]

save the junk ones for crafting and recharging melter

[exotic hemlock]

I had been testing only with junk artefacts, i was worried the newfound nice artefacts of higher tiers would also start wasting away like paper in water

[shadow sapphire]

Huh apologies. I am not sure why its not in there.

[teal magnet]

is there a way to change where screenshots are saved or where the location is?

cant find it

[exotic hemlock]

no worries- I do need to read up in the manual again anyways. Theres a lot to remember lol ^^

[quiet rock]

is there an option to enable sleeping anywhere? for example you can't sleep in Jupiter's cement factory because it's "unsafe"

[north turret]

Do mutants respawn overtime in labs/interiors?

[split cape]

hey uh

got a bug trying to launch gamma

shader compilation thing

havent updated gamma in awhile

[shadow sapphire]

!shader

[raw raft]

To clean your "Shader 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.

[shadow sapphire]

Also full install if you didnt

[split cape]

i did tho

got the same even when i deleted the shaders cache

wait

im an idiot

uh oh

i think i fucked up

this look right?

but also

i think i fucked up

larkin this look right?

i think i deleted a folder without meaning to do the folder i meant

[north turret]

Those are reshade shaders, totally separate from appdata shaders

[split cape]

no u dont understand

i sped read and deleted something

im asking if that reshade folder belongs in the bin

[shadow sapphire]

Hit CTL + Z it will undo whatever you did last. Yes the folders look good

Minus shader cache lol

delete shader cache

[split cape]

well i did

it came back

same error

[shadow sapphire]

[hollow shadow]

ty

[terse sedge]

do i have to enable stealh kill in the normal anomaly settings or is that already in gamma with supressors n shit?

[graceful iron]

you have to enable it in the settings, but it can be broken

[terse sedge]

broken in the way that it wont be stealth, or that it crashes n stuff?

[graceful iron]

broken as in it can allow you to clear bases too easily without alerting anyone

[terse sedge]

ah ok makes sense

[north turret]

Speaking of stealth, how useful are suppressors at masking your position? Particularly at distance with a suppressed scoped rifle.

[terse sun]

very stealthy now

from a far away distance you can snipe quite some people before they figure out what's going on

[north turret]

gone to radar for first time and just get rekt by pseudogiants

you need the kit

You need a kit, yes

[brisk zinc]

Do the main quest and you'll get one

[chilly saddle]

Can i get it by doing bandit mq?

[brisk zinc]

If I'm looking at the right quest, no

[chilly saddle]

justice for bandit

[brisk zinc]

@graceful iron maybe you know this

Rip he's gone

[chilly saddle]

Thanks for your time 👍

[brisk zinc]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-yeah-baby-agreed-leonardo-di-caprio-gif-15198044

About powder can

I think you can blow them up

I mean, try it

If they explode, you can use them

[terse sun]

not sure about gamma, but usually powder cans can be used to craft explosives

[brisk zinc]

Ah powder cans...

Okay

I got confused

It's also 5AM so yeah

[terse sun]

makes 2 of us already lol

[brisk zinc]

You can disassemble them and get a lot of powder for ammo

[chilly saddle]

I never got it to work

[brisk zinc]

But I don't think you can craft with them

[terse sun]

oh wat, really

[brisk zinc]

Yes

We're talking about that blue can that looks like a can of paint, right?

With (I think) a B on it

[terse sun]

I'm not even going to say the number of these powder cans I threw out of my inventory for its immense weight and me usually not crafting explosives lol

yeah the blue can

[brisk zinc]

You can disassemble them

[terse sun]

definitely noted 😄

[brisk zinc]

It's a fairly new thing, it's not really recent

[terse hawk]

also those blue stoves give plastic films 🤯

[brisk zinc]

Yes

[terse sun]

I just blindly went into it, thinking the powder can would stay at least similar to anomaly lol, boy am I wrong

[brisk zinc]

Yes you were

You can get blue, green and red

In one go

I think it's 60/60/90 or something

Big numbers

[terse sun]

(kill me now)

[terse hawk]

is that the only item to get powders besides the powder can?

[terse sun]

you mean besides ammo disassembly?

afaik yes but then I was wrong just 1 minute ago lmao

[terse hawk]

once i bought ammo to disassemble i went from running out of bullet parts to powder

yeah

[brisk zinc]

Of course not

You can disassemble ammo

And you'll get powder

[terse hawk]

yeah and the ammo

[brisk zinc]

So yeah

Ammo and boom things

You can also find them on dead stalkers

[terse hawk]

is grok looking to balance out the ammo parts anymore? kinda feels weird to buy mauser or 9x18 just to disassemble them

feel like traders should just sell powders/parts in limited quantity tbh

[regal lintel]

I saw a question about the shooting yourself animation, why does it only turn black? And is there a way to like prevent me from shooting myself when my Mental Health drops?

[brisk zinc]

Put it in #old-feedback-suggestions

[brisk zinc]

I guess it's because it's not really that nice to see a man killing himself

"is there a way"

Grab an helmet with more psy resistance and/or use something that give psy resistance

[terse hawk]

sometimes the black screen works sometimes not and i just see my guy slowly pulling the gun up

[regal lintel]

Is there a way to remove the black? 'Coz you know, there's a chance for example, an artifact in the middle a psy field, then I try to jump in and out, but I can't do that when my screen goes black coz I can't see

[brisk zinc]

Never happened to me so I don't really know what's the "after"

[regal lintel]

Or is it already too late when the screen goes black?

[brisk zinc]

I think it's too late when the screen goes black, yes

It's like a "you're dead" before the actual "you're dead"

[regal lintel]

Ok2.. I see. So big no to psy fields then.

[brisk zinc]

Nope, not without protection

[terse hawk]

you can try to shoot the arti out of the anomaly

[brisk zinc]

True

[regal lintel]

I thought there was some chance like when a controller "tries" to control you, and you try to put a wall between the two of you to cancel the gun pulling animation

[brisk zinc]

I don't know if that works

You can try but I think it's more about distance

If you stand too close to them they kill you 100%

[regal lintel]

Yeah, I think it might not work because of distance, the "safe" spot is too far and the gun is already on your hand

[brisk zinc]

It works with that other mutant, maybe it's the burer

The dude that need to see you to attack you

If you have a wall in front of you, it won't attack

[regal lintel]

you can do this?!? I never tried. 😮

[brisk zinc]

Yes you can

Even grenades

[regal lintel]

Wow.. a year of playing Anomaly and I find this out now

[brisk zinc]

Artifacts have physics, they can be moved around

[regal lintel]

all those times trying to jump in and out of anomaly fields ....

No

If you disassemble the gun you can though

[brisk zinc]

It's probably a kit

yea i think so

[vagrant star]

is there a way to make the radio persist through quicksaving/loading? it always turns the radio off after i load a quicksave.

[north turret]

can you toggle scope zoom?

[chilly saddle]

Currently there's no way

[winter island]

Was it the amount or the type of items that makes the freeze ? Like, does 1000pcs of 5.56 freeze less than 5medical items with each 200pcs ?

[shadow sapphire]

Honestly, I wouldn't know. I haven't super dug into that yet

[shadow sapphire]

For scopes that have it yes. Scroll wheel up to zoom out down to zoom in

[north turret]

ah thank you

[vagrant star]

im looking right at where a stash should be but nothing is there

[shadow sapphire]

I see it.

[vagrant star]

its not the log i checked

how do i noclip? i wanna see if its underground or something. I cant find the option in debug

[sinful osprey]

man.. what kind of crazy amount of psy resistance do you need to enter the red forest.

[shadow sapphire]

You need the psy helmet not resistance XD

[sinful osprey]

ugggggghhhhhhhhhh

just want expert tools ffs

[compact coral]

just get 20k and pay sakharov for it

[vagrant star]

im pretty sure this stash is glitched, because i noclipped and i still cant find anything

[willow hawk]

In the tree log ?

[vagrant star]

already checked that, wasnt it

[uncut blade]

Hey guys, can someone please help me understand this. I'm trying to set a pitch black night without reshade to understand the lighting commands and for some reason I have this blue tint on everything. This is with hemi 0 and sun 0. Is this perhaps from weather?

[exotic hemlock]

Are any of the detectors after bear better than the others? Like there's the new grizzly but is it better in any other ways than it can work with nvgs? does it lack anything the others have?

I mostly ask because it looks like the grizzly is easier to make than the other two, which i assumed was a balance reason

[north turret]

I think the detector after Grizzly shows every anomaly, it was good before Grizzly was introduced, while Veles shows you anomalies too

[vagrant star]

why does artifact durability go down so quick?

[north turret]

Only perk artifacts durability goes down

[vagrant star]

any way to slow it?

[north turret]

Don't think so

I only equip them when I need the effect

[vagrant star]

it goes down way too fast, after like 5 mins its down 25%

[north turret]

Which ones u using

[vagrant star]

black angel

[north turret]

I guess it was made with balance in mind

Cuz some have really good perks

[vagrant star]

it would be nice if it only lost durability when it was actually used

[north turret]

I use mostly signet

Only when I need to regen

Maybe Scar some time, but that's pure lottery

Or more like Russian roulette

[exotic hemlock]

which one would you say is the best overall? The bear is a prerequisite for all of them and i dont want to waste my materials

[north turret]

I'd go for grizzly

Because

It takes less mats

And required advanced tools only

Unless u have expert tools

Also get the crafting achievement

[exotic hemlock]

when i do get expert tools what would you say at that point? :o

still griz?

[shadow sapphire]

Depends on which you want. Grizzly works like bear just with nvg and all arti but veles and the final also have all arti and are easier to find arti or show anomalies as well

[north turret]

Well, maybe Veles then

Veles is the final detector btw

Tbh I find artifacts with bear/Grizzly easier

[exotic hemlock]

i like the idea of knowing exactly where anomalies are, so i suppsoe ill keep a grizzly for night and eventually a veles for safety

[shadow sapphire]

No savrog is final

[north turret]

Oh, my bad

[exotic hemlock]

and savrog shows all artifacts and all anomalies?

[shadow sapphire]

Correct

[north turret]

In CoP Svarog had an additional ability

[shadow sapphire]

Veles doesn't show anomalies

[north turret]

It showed u spatial anomalies

[exotic hemlock]

isnt that cuz you progressed with them tho

[north turret]

Veles kinda useless with Grizzly

[exotic hemlock]

gotcha

[north turret]

But u need it for Svarog

[exotic hemlock]

so the veles' only purpose is a stepping stone for the savrog?

svarog*

[north turret]

After the introduction of GRIZZLY, Yes

What I would suggest is

[exotic hemlock]

im guessing it'd be hard to rip the veles out of the game without messing other things up then.

[north turret]

Get both disassembling achi and crafting one

First one gives u a chance to get more mats when disassembling

[vagrant star]

do artifacts only give radiation while on the belt or just in the inventory?

[exotic hemlock]

i havent played long enough to encounter an achievement- do they give perks or something?

[north turret]

Second one makes some items require less mats

[exotic hemlock]

im p sure if they emit radiation and arent in a container they will still fill your rads.

[vagrant star]

ok thanks

[exotic hemlock]

they dont need to be on your belt, but they do need to be in a container.

[north turret]

Perk artifacts odnt give rad, other ones emmit rad

[north turret]

Disassemble 200 items and craft 50 items

[exotic hemlock]

oh ive definitely gotten the first one

[north turret]

The req for both achi

[exotic hemlock]

i mustve not noticed

[north turret]

U can check ur PDA

[exotic hemlock]

Does the PDA also list requirements for the achievments?

[north turret]

For the crafting one

Yes

[exotic hemlock]

alrighty, thanks man, im gonna get back to stalkin

[north turret]

Craft the small backpacks that were introduced in last patch

They require one of each simpler armor cloths

Synthetic sheets etc

Easy to craft

U can even sell em afterwards

Also, buy certain items from vendors if u have cash

Broken detector, broken flashlight

And break em

Fastest way to get parts for detectors

And containers

[terse hawk]

also do geiger counters/rf receivers

theyre the best bang for your buck if youre trying to get capacitors or w/e the rare one is

Y, capacitors

How much do geigers and RF go for

Prolly Sakharov sells em at best price

Broken detector is 2750/3000 and it gives 1 of each

[vagrant star]

why is everything so white? is it supposed to be snow or is it a glitch?

[terse hawk]

pretty sure rf and geiger are 2750 and give 2 but sounds like its a lot cheaper than broken

[carmine wyvern]

known issue, Grok is tweaking shaders atm

[north turret]

Will check that in a few days

[carmine wyvern]

depends on how high the rep is for the trader you buy them off of

on survivalist a RF Receiver and Geiger cost around 4k

[north turret]

Ahh

And I doubt they give 2x capacitor

A broken flashlight and a walkie talkie cost less than 3k and give u one of each

And I think two transistors

Or was it resistors

[carmine wyvern]

broken items gives less components than intact ones

you get around twice the amount with functioning items

even more when you got the dismantling achievement

[north turret]

Will do some testing

Was thinking about the anomaly detector item

Since I'm egghead I start with one

But if I accept some quest to test an anomaly

They give me another

And after I finish Q I have both

[terse hawk]

yeah nvm it's 3.7k for the rf/geigers

they do give 2 of each components though

[north turret]

So maybe I should disassemble both?

[terse hawk]

vs 2.7k for one of each for brokens

rf/geiger/anomaly detector

[north turret]

If u need transistor, resistor parts

[carmine wyvern]

the low tier shit is pretty useless anyway

[north turret]

Walkie talkie is best

Costs around 900

[carmine wyvern]

arti hunting gets interesting when you get the Bear Detector

[north turret]

So for 1800 u can get two

[carmine wyvern]

before that its useless

[north turret]

Yep

Grizzly bis

[carmine wyvern]

but you cant dismantle the grizzly

for some reason

[north turret]

Didn't know tgat

I'd rather sell it tho

[carmine wyvern]

my priority for crafting technical items is
NVGs -> PDA -> Detector personally

[north turret]

Prolly more cash

[terse hawk]

i wish they improved the "compass" detectors to be on par with the svarog like maybe range

[carmine wyvern]

i couldnt find a NPC thats buying it

[north turret]

Weird

[carmine wyvern]

even the scientists didnt want the Grizzly

so i dumped it into a dead npc after getting the Svarog

[north turret]

Well, by the time I can craft Svarog, I'd have plenty of cash and parts

[compact coral]

for me it got fixed by deleting the shader_cache folder

!shader

[raw raft]

To clean your "Shader 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.

[compact coral]

they do

buying rf recievers and geiger counters is the cheapest way to get capacitors

[stuck knot]

So I followed the instruction to download and put the big addons(2 addons) in download folder while Full GAMMA installation is happening.
Are they going to be installed automatically?

[empty verge]

Can I disable addons involving health system and creating/repairing weapons? Wanted to change for something more simple

[shadow sapphire]

Yes

[shadow sapphire]

Uh I don't think so. But ask in #🔨modded-gamma-support but at that point you are removing several core systems...

[compact coral]

any idea on how to fix this one?

for some reason when a lightning strikes the ilumination flickers between how it should look like and the bright ilumination

but it stays the same after that

reloading the save and restarting the game didnt fix it

[willow hawk]

Will push a shader update soon

This might fix it

[compact coral]

roger

[shut tinsel]

Is it possible to disable wait time between fast travel? I got 1 million cash, waiting time is no longer balance thing for me so I have to take sleeping pills, sleep, drink eat, it just wastes my real life time at this point.

[terse hawk]

yeah disable the 2 fast travel limiter in mo2

[shadow sapphire]

Mcm menu lower the cooldown

[shut tinsel]

MCM - Limit Fast Travel - It is set to 1, but still needs 6 hours to wait.

[shut tinsel]

I'll try that!

[shadow sapphire]

After this one you won't have to

[untold bane]

I think I have the same thing as Rushino above

Hope that shader update fixes it, thanks for your hard work!

[shut tinsel]

Is it possible to change mercs voice lines and base music?

I'm Russian and what's happening at Merc base is completely immersion breaking:

1. They are talking in novice loner voice lines, completely out of character. They tell stories that only poor, completely new loners would tell, completely out of character for mercs.
2. The Russian music playing on the base is horrible, it's very old, it's not classic hits, just a low quality USSR pop music mostly (outside of US classics). That is something not even Duty would listen, something that my grand parents would tolerate, no something that any stalker would casually listen.
3. I often hear 2 guitars playing + 1 radio at the same time.

[shadow sapphire]

Welcome to anomaly XD. To answer the question we don't have an option for it, but you would have to adjust the files and the like.

[shut tinsel]

Good enough! Thank you!

[shut tinsel]

I remember it being correct in COC and Dead Air. Can't remember if Anomaly broke it or some mod in GAMMA.

[shadow sapphire]

Nah wasn't us. Only change to that was grok adding some English lines for mercs as its more lore appropriatw

[shut tinsel]

Oh yeah, those ones are dope!

[carmine wyvern]

the Radio Music is indeed horrible

but i guess its hard to find some good russian/eastern music not protected by DMCA

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah that was the only change made by us XD and to me it feels right. As the whole backstory of the mercs is mostly based on western intervention

[shadow sapphire]

It still has dmca XD

[compact coral]

yep, its the rain that makes everything look overly bright

the rain stopped in the swamps and it went back to normal

[carmine wyvern]

i would gladly hear some more Molchat Doma or Chernikovskaya Hata on the Radio, but i guess thats low on the priority

[compact coral]

try getting yourself killed (in game ofc) and see if the change of weather makes everything look normal again

[primal relic]

how do i turn on debug mode?

[river forge]

Is it impossible to find an RPG or Grenade Launcher now? As far as I am aware enemies don't use them anymore, but can they be found in stashes?

[shadow sapphire]

!debug

[raw raft]

How to enable debug mode: #╭📖faq message

[shadow sapphire]

Rpg barrier defense

[river forge]

? I haven't seen any RPGs in the hands of stalkers at the Barrier

And haven't found any grenade launchers either

[shadow sapphire]

There are occasionally rpgs there.

[river forge]

If they're meant to be found then maybe it's something with my game but I'm playing vanilla, only extra addons are Mags Redux + Majestic Weathers so nothing should edit the weapons

No GLs though?

[untold bane]

it seems to be raining every single time I start a new game, but forcing sunny weather through debug does seem to mostly return things to normal

the grass is still somewhat glossy for a while after

[shadow sapphire]

Only the underbarrel to my knowledge

[fathom mortar]

So I just got my first basic tools, and I can use them in my inventory?
Is there a point to workbenches now? Or are they useless?

[river forge]

Damn

Saddening but I suppose makes sense

At least RPGs are around then

[north turret]

idk bout yall but if i were armored and had to choose between being shot by a pistol or a shotgun i'd choose the pistol

[river forge]

Depends on the pistol

[shadow sapphire]

Basically useless except the portable workbench

[river forge]

also on the armor because I recall seeing a video of glass "buckshot" from hell penetrating level 2-3 armor

[fathom mortar]

Well, I can see why they made the tools usable outside of workbenches. But I kind of liked that the benches were needed.
Of course, with the mod that adds base building, having portable workbenches makes a lot of sense
And still, you can give tools to technicians so you can pay for repairs/upgrades

[shadow sapphire]

You can't pay for repairs

[fathom mortar]

Oh?

[river forge]

Paying for repairs only cleans it IIRC, the parts are still screwed

[fathom mortar]

Ohhhh okay

[river forge]

Also the portable workbench is mainly useful due to the stash mechanic. You can put all your parts in it and use it to craft stuff

[shadow sapphire]

Actually I think we turned it off XD

[river forge]

lmao

[shadow sapphire]

And I don't think you can pay for upgrades either XD

[fathom mortar]

Well, I never tried to, but the menu option for it is still there for the technician

[shadow sapphire]

Except nimble. I could be wrong on that one though

But you don't want to pay for repairs anyway you can craft the kits in gamma

[fathom mortar]

Neat

[exotic hemlock]

unless this was done very recently this isnt true- whenever i make a pitstop in rostok i pay to have my knife repaired as well as get my gun topped off for cleaning since it usually costs like less than 4000

mighta been a bug going on with the weapon parts system at the time but i swear sometimes when repairing at the NPC some of the internal parts would gain minor durability- but this part im reeeaaall hazy on

[shadow sapphire]

Could be wrong. Haven't checked, just lots of why is the repair grayed out all of the sudden.

[shadow sapphire]

There was a bug.

[exotic hemlock]

you cant repair armor at ALL i know that for sure.

which i like, i like that you can pay to have your gun cleaned "Professionally" but they arent gonna sew up holes in your clothes for you

[shadow sapphire]

Mmmmm maybe it was armor. You might be right.

[exotic hemlock]

as far as i know armor is disabled and gun repair MOSTLY cleans the outside of your gun

which sometimes is nice because im lazy or sometimes the cost is so low its better to repair than to use oil

I very much enjoy the weapon maintenance system in gamma though, its strange to me how many people I see who want to put guns back in the stores or turn off the medical system

Like... just go play anomaly at that point

Though to be fair i have no clue how to mod anomaly and this pack being so modular and approachable- i can see why some people might use it as basically a modding platform and removing the stuff they dont like- but imo you should try it before you say "I dont want that"

one last little thing ill say before stopping so i dont flood this channel with semi unrelated nonsense: The idea of the progression being changed at first made me go 'oh hell no' but I watched Tomato stream gamma and despite him going into a max difficulty iron man unsig run- it just looked...so fun. I could keep going but at that point it'd belong in feedback or a general chat.

[north turret]

I've noticed that even though my gun stays over 85 percent condition at all times, the parts still surely but slowly degrade. Are there other factors involved?

[shadow sapphire]

Lots of them. Weather, suppressors, shooting it.

[exotic hemlock]

yeah what larkin said- unless you keep the gun in a box looking all pretty its gonna degrade as you use it

The zone is dirty, wet, and has what i'd call extreme conditions for both armor and weapons- not to mention even in perfect conditions a weapon will degrade as its used- realistically speaking.

[north turret]

But I thought part degradation didn't kick in until 85% cleanliness. At least that's what the mcm options and the wpo mod page leads me to believe

[shadow sapphire]

Sure if you were using wpo standalone you would be correct. Gamma is a different story.

[north turret]

What do I do to change this

[shadow sapphire]

#🔨modded-gamma-support

[north turret]

Huh

Oh you mean post my question there

[lime ibex]

I have a broken pda in my inventory and i cant drop it, wat do?

[carmine wyvern]

did you enable the option in ZCP ?

or is it from a "Find the Dead Squad" Quest ?

[elder chasm]

hi guys 😄 a question, how can i make vendors sell weapons again?

[carmine wyvern]

#🤖bot-commands and type !vanilla

[elder chasm]

oh okey ! thx ❤️

[carmine wyvern]

i would suggest you try it out first before changing one of the core mechanics of gamma tho

[primal fern]

Quite random Q I suppose, but Is there anything that can be done to the lighting at different angles? these pics are taken at the same spot. if I look at the tower there is barely any light on it, but if I turn right it is suddenly bathed in sunlight.

[jagged belfry]

Is this normal? or is there a setting for this somewhere?

[exotic hemlock]

if thats your shadow id say its probably from you suddenly having a light source in front of you rather than behind you

and i doubt xray would much enjoy rendering shadows from several light sources but i could be wrong

[jagged belfry]

npc shadow doesnt disappear but yours does, it's jarring

[exotic hemlock]

I get stuff like this in a lot of games, i genuinely believe it has something to do with how video games process the player's camera, like in games where theres fog that obscures your vision- if you look to the side and basically look diagonally in the direction you need to go the effect will be further out. Something something calculating diagional lines instead of straight lines, is it possible for you to record it happening live- might help the mods if they can see more of the problem

[exotic hemlock]

Again my guess is that this is an engine limitation, I would assume the only fix is turning your own shadow off entirely- or other stalkers'

ive never noticed it myself though so perhaps its a bug- or i dont pay attention to that stuff much

Usually when i turn my flashlight/headlamp/etc on im trying to find an enemy and not my own shadow so its pretty easy to ignore.

[warped ginkgo]

i dont think many people work on the shadows, i guess its rendering?
the only one is lvutner i think

maybe is intentional for optimization? no idea how It wors

[exotic hemlock]

are you meaning to respond to the sunlight thing or demeters shadow thing

[exotic hemlock]

yeah it could be a lot of things. I thought xray engine was really cool but now that ive heard from a bunch of mod makers it sounds like a nightmare

Ive seen a lot of problems in this discord who's answers are "Thats how xray is."

Dark magic has its ups and downs. Pros: Anomaly and Gamma exist
Cons: Busy hands and anything animation related are a doozy, and a few other things that I cant remember off the top of my head

[chilly saddle]

Is there a companion cap?

[north turret]

Yeah

Don't ask how many

[chilly saddle]

How many

[north turret]

https://tenor.com/view/we-dont-talk-about-such-things-joey-gladstone-dave-coulier-fuller-house-we-dont-mention-that-gif-17868280

No1 knows tbh

[chilly saddle]

But is it possible to recruit more than 2?

[north turret]

Yes

U could find a group leader

Ive had 3

[chilly saddle]

o

[north turret]

And u can have 4

Atleast

But it's rng

[chilly saddle]

i still haven't gotten the mechanic of recruiting

[radiant trellis]

I need to set the mouse sensitivity to 0.15, but the game options only allow me 0.11 or 0.21. Can I change this value in any file?

Also, how can I reduce head bobbing?

[terse hawk]

the max i had was 16

you could probably do 21ish

[chilly saddle]

How do i recruit more? Is it rng

[terse hawk]

the max you can get is 4 from legends, but as above i think groups counts as just 1 but i ddint get it to work

but you get more than 4 by doing quests that give you companions and not turning it in

[chilly saddle]

How about asking for them to join?

Is it rng

[terse hawk]

4 companions + 2 safari tour + 2-5 night hunt + 2-5 dangerous + zoneraker + 2-5 escort + 2 escort scientist + hip so max of 25 in total

ah for asking them to join you need to have friendly relations

[compact coral]

the max i have gotten is 7, 4 from a scort mission, 2 companions and 1 rescued hostage

[terse hawk]

with the squad in question and they need to be only 1 rank above

[compact coral]

damn

[terse hawk]

usually after you escort a squad they become friendly so you can ask to join right after

[chilly saddle]

1 rank above me? gotcha

[terse hawk]

yeah i think that's the max, not sure if theres any other missions

[chilly saddle]

How about doing quests for them

[terse hawk]

and ofc half of them are temporary since they go away after a while

yeah or getting faction rep

[chilly saddle]

👍

[primal fern]

Im doing the Clear Sky questline and Im at the "rescue rogue scout unit" part in outskirts. Im at the pointed spot and see some stalkers nearby but nothing happens by talking or just being there

bugged quest?

Nvm. Killed some monoliths in close by building and the quest updated..

[exotic hemlock]

Late to the mention of the companion cap- but i got like 3 groups of stalkers to join up with me as well as a rescue target who bugged and never let me drop him off- so i had like 8 guys following me around. I felt powerful as hell

[exotic hemlock]

iirc its simply just time as a factor, but it seems lots of people ahve trouble with that quest seeing as how theres a FAQ post about it i think.

[north turret]

How do you know if some stalker is the leader of a group

[quaint tide]

Question: how do I prevent everything looking so shiny, I have no idea which option to turn on/off

[compact coral]

did you install the latest update?

[exotic hemlock]

I didnt. it was luck i assume.

I just was like "Hey can I pay you to protect me" and he was like "Sure bro" and suddenly 3 people joined my squad

[north turret]

Yeah, had a whole squad join me once

[exotic hemlock]

then I asked an ecologist to come with me cuz he had a cool suit- and then some of his buddies came too

[north turret]

There is one Eco in an exo in Yantar, I want him

[quaint tide]

2.4.4.? no

[north turret]

Not the special npc

[high cloud]

hello i'm dying from the emissions even if i'm sheltered. is it a know issue ?

[terse hawk]

this guy?

[terse hawk]

-psy resist artis?

[north turret]

Yep

[terse hawk]

i actually had this guy for the longest time lol

[high cloud]

i'm sorry what ?

[terse hawk]

he went from master to legend

[north turret]

Nois

He prolly has 70 kg carry weight

[terse hawk]

some belt attachments give -psy resist so you can die from emissions even sheltered

[north turret]

I like to take everything from corpses

[terse hawk]

uh i believe it was like 110 lol

but that doesnt work rn with the bugged weight tweak
