faction relation. doing missions for any random freedomer builds up rep for the whole freedom faction

[timid edge]

Okay. Thank you!

[north turret]

Know what else is helpful?
my guides ay lmao got em

[stoic axle]

which guides do you speak of good sir?

[timid edge]

This doesnt make sense though. I am in jupiter and nothing of ecologist faction relation carried over to any of them.

[north turret]

#╟🎮stalker-videos📹 some of em

I made 4 guides

❤️

they can help you

[timid edge]

None of the loner relations either. Theyre all lvl 1.

[north turret]

I'm not trying to advertise I genuinely mean they can help you , they are only 4 but I will make more in the future

[stoic axle]

higher tier ammo unlocks at a certain rep level

[timid edge]

i understand that. You tell me that faction relation dictates trader levels. Well i'm maxed out with eco and loners and everybody associated with them are all lvl 1 in the north.

[thick python]

Is there a key/button for checking the status of my mag/clip?

[stoic axle]

ah i see, youtube guides. doing god's work for people who want to get started and are overwhelmed. cheeki breeki's (french youtuber) guides helped me very much in my begginings

[stoic axle]

that's weird. what do you mean with level 1?

[graceful iron]

its goodwill that dictates trader levels

the top of the table in the relations tab of the pda

[timid edge]

the ecologist in jupiter are all level 1 in trader lvl. I assumed they were separate, but i'll just continue north and hope i get some kind of consistency with the loner faction.

[willow hawk]

You can check your goodwill in the PDA > relations > display values

[graceful iron]

it shows your goodwill with each faction

[willow hawk]

2000 is the max and this will give you lv 5 supplies

[timid edge]

the eco trader in jupiter is just a mechanic, nevermind....

but the doctors aren't and they don't show a consistency with relations, so i assumed relations wasn't a part of trader level consideration. Thought it was all specific to TRADERS of that faction.

[graceful iron]

the other scientist is a trader

doctor herman

you do quests for a certain faction's stalkers or main traders and you get goodwill for the entire faction

[timid edge]

nevermind, my brain is broken.

[graceful iron]

goodwill raises the trader levels on all normal traders of the faction

technicians (mechanics) level up their trader levels when you do the tool kit missions for them

medics level up when you do the med tool kit mission for them

[stoic axle]

what you want is higher tier ammo right? level up your rep with the faction by doing many many many missions for them, then the ammo traders will offer good stuff.

[graceful iron]

its called goodwill

rep is a different thing

[stoic axle]

that may be the case yes

ah rep was being excellent and legend and such ye i remember

[graceful iron]

no its how well stalkers think of you, doing quests/killing enemy stalkers/killing mutants, if you kill friendly stalkers you lose rep

[stoic axle]

hmm

[graceful iron]

and if you lose too much rep friendly factions might send hit squads after you

[stoic axle]

"you rank has improved" isn't that rep, and being "brilliant", "excellent" and such?

[graceful iron]

rank is a whole other thing

3 factors, rep, goodwill and rank

all different

[stoic axle]

i am confusion

[graceful iron]

[stoic axle]

but ok, am always a good loner boy anyways

[timid edge]

Yeah. I was completely misreading the npc factions thinking they should have been higher level.

[graceful iron]

no

its just traders

[versed bane]

is there some way to keep the download windows from appearing on the desktop im currently using?

[graceful iron]

you can click out of them just fine tho

[versed bane]

i literally can but each time it alt-tabs me just to let me know its downloading something else

i want that to stop happening because i know theres a download going on, i started the launcher!

[supple basalt]

Hey guys

do you know if the special monolith exo power supply recipes are locked behind rank ? I've got 21k rank points and Master rank and still don't see any of those recipes. Even tho i can loot Nosorog exos

[graceful iron]

they are unlocked by finding the recipes for them

[supple basalt]

yes but i can't seem to find any recipes

i've looted multiple nosorog suits from monolith exo

and yet to find any recipe

i've been save scumming monolith exo corpses to "Refresh" loot and looted exo monoliths over 100 times and no recipe...

[graceful iron]

its only the special power supply units for exoskeletons that you have to unlock the recipes for. who said you have to get the recipe from exo monolith ?

[supple basalt]

special power supply units recipes is what i'm trying to get

[graceful iron]

i am actually not sure myself about how to get the recipe

[supple basalt]

monolith soldiers in exo suits are supposed to drop them

[graceful iron]

i didnt know that

are you sure?

[supple basalt]

that's what it says in the manual

[graceful iron]

oh...

i never noticed that

[junior swallow]

Hey, a buddy and I are having an issue. Whenever he equips his NVG's, the game breaks. If he turns them off he cant turn them back on, he's also not able to activate any campfires or doors. Is there a fix for this? Does anyone else have problems with NVG?

[supple basalt]

"Crafting

All recipes are available from the start, including cooking recipes. You'll just need to farm monolith exos to get special exo batteries crafting recipes."

[stoic axle]

i had problem with beefs nvgs, you can disable it in mo2

[junior swallow]

Well yes but.. he wants the NVG's haha

And the in game NV is uhh.. interesting,

[graceful iron]

i never noticed the monolith exo part as i never use exos so never cared much about them. sorry an oversight on my part

[graceful iron]

busy hands can be caused by nvgs. make sure you dont spam animations. what dx are you playing on?

[junior swallow]

DX11-AVX

[supple basalt]

anyway as i said i've looted monolith exo over 100 times at master rank and even tho i loot monolith nosorog suits there's no recipe drops :/
Wonder what the catch is there

[graceful iron]

both of you?

[junior swallow]

Yes

[graceful iron]

maybe its just you got really unlucky

[graceful iron]

In case of issues:

Delete your mods folder in GAMMA RC1

Launch the installer in .Grok's Modpack Installer.

Update GAMMA Data.
Complete GAMMA Installation.
this seems to sometimes help with busy hands happening with nvgs

[junior swallow]

We've reloaded the save about 20 times and it always works until he turns the goggles on, then it breaks. Evrytime.

We just did that, waiting for him to test it

[graceful iron]

i had it happen before and complete installation fixed it

okay tell us if that fixes it

[junior swallow]

Okay awesome, thank you!

[graceful iron]

btw does he have any additional mods or any mods disabled ?

[junior swallow]

Nope, original GAMMA mod list unchanged from install

Checked order and boxes, everything checks out.

[graceful iron]

its not really beef's nvgs causing it, its just animations in general causing busy hands. disabling beef's nvgs and some animation mods is a last resort

[junior swallow]

Okay that helps as well. If the fresh install doesn't work we will do some testing.

[graceful iron]

reinstalling the mods through a complete installation seems to fix these bugs or reduce them. this is from first hand experience

[junior swallow]

I had him delete the entire folder and star from scratch last night. This was around 3:30am so we didnt test yet haha

[graceful iron]

also when this bug or similar happens open console and type "save bug" it seems to not always crash when saving like this and so you have a chance of closing the game without losing progress

[junior swallow]

Oh good deal!

[graceful iron]

only folder you need to delete is "mods" folder. unless you messed an installation step too much

[junior swallow]

Well we did but then he hit the wrong button on the installer and it was just a mess...

So better safe than sorry

[graceful iron]

oh ok

[storm moon]

usually less than 40%, red forest, loot from monolit

[willow hawk]

Weird

[storm moon]

too many loot

[graceful iron]

the npc looted guns go up in condition

@willow hawk not sure if this is intended

[willow hawk]

Hum really ?

[graceful iron]

but if npcs loot other npcs and then you loot them they will have some decent condition guns

[willow hawk]

[twin wedge]

Also some weird fuckery is going on with artifact quality and containers. Put a fucked up battery in a container and when I pulled it out it was 100%. After level transition it broke again.

[north turret]

Do artefacts have weaker effects with lower efficiency? What about junk artefacts? Do they degrade over time on the belt?

[graceful iron]

yes and yes

[willow hawk]

[storm moon]

[timid edge]

found an FN SCAR. The option to switch ammo types does not appear, it only gives option for grenade launcher ammo. Unbelievable.

[mint charm]

Anyone know why I get these spotty artifacts in the skybox?

[junior swallow]

Radiation

[warped ginkgo]

mans dying from radiation

[mint charm]

Oh god

[junior swallow]

Do you guys taste metal?

[stoic axle]

mans enjoying some good old fashioned alpha, beta and gamma rays

[mint charm]

As you said that the geiger counter went off like wild

[junior swallow]

LMAO

[mint charm]

Lol I have spent like 8 hours modding this game and getting it to run on my toaster and I finally get in, dies from a dog and radiation

[stoic axle]

Thats Stalker for you

love it

[timid edge]

not only do i not get an option to change ammo types, it crashes when i try to change grenade launcher ammo. Unbelievable.

[junior swallow]

One time I kept taking radiation damage and I could not figure out why for like 20 minutes... I had an open artifact in my inventory..

[stoic axle]

Found that out when first picking up wonderful Anomalous Bread

[mint charm]

Yup, I even put it in the box and I was getting hurt BAD, Had to drop the whole thing and run away to not die in the first 3 mins

[graceful iron]

its not really a huge impact from what i seen personally, pretty rare to happen unless you overpopulate your zone. but there will be things like loot claim going useless and some people use that for "immersion" or extra challenge

oh wrong message sorry but i was talking about disabling npcs looting each other

you arent gonna kill friendly stalkers just to get a gun they just looted, the rep hit is not worth it. and waiting for them to die isnt efficient either

[supple basalt]

does anyone know where i can find the documents in X-19 for the scientist questline ?

it says some documents for artificial artefacts but i checked the whole lab 2 times and can't find any...

[stoic axle]

I second this question as I'm in exact same spot as you and haven't found anything yet

[supple basalt]

i just read someone saying that they're in the north east corner of the map. I think they mean the Radar map there's a bunker or tunnel on the north east part of it

[stoic axle]

Falcoman suggested spawning in documents and artefacts through the debug menu, but it didn't help

[supple basalt]

going to check that out now just gotta mow down a dozen more monolith soldiers

[graceful iron]

i think yea i them mention that

the northern part of the radar

[junior swallow]

I just have 0 luck finding repair kits..

[graceful iron]

craft them

you cant find them

[junior swallow]

I can craft repair kits??

[graceful iron]

sorry i wanted to say you cant

[junior swallow]

Where can I find them??

[graceful iron]

when you have a tool kit right click and click use

opens a vice menu

you can use it to craft items

or repair

on the go

#│📚manual

tool kits are found in stashes

[junior swallow]

Not any of my stashes lol

Does anyone sell them?

[graceful iron]

stashes have to be marked on the map tp have tool kits

no

but doing the first quest for hip in rookie village she will give you a basic tool kit

[junior swallow]

I've visited about 10 stashes in my game, 3 of them green ones, no kits. Usually just broken guns and some ammo/medicine

[graceful iron]

just bad luck

[junior swallow]

Nice

[graceful iron]

doing quests and checking pdas for stash locations

south stashes have basic tool kits and some really cheap stuff

the further north you go the better the loot in them

check the manual it explains all about this

[scenic pulsar]

so I got hip to follow and she told me she wanted some artifacts for sid, but there is no actual quest marker in the pda. Is this a bug? can the quest be completed anyway?

[brisk zinc]

Sorry about that, maybe it doesn't work with documents...

[stoic axle]

It was like that in base Anomaly already yes, you have to go search for the specific artefacts in the whole zone

[stoic axle]

Nah it was a good suggestion, now I'll go check the northern part of Radar myself

[scenic pulsar]

ok thanks!

[glossy zenith]

in controls theres unjam button at very bottom

itll be under mod keybinds at the very bottom

I think double F is much better tho

I have no clue but i have an idea

@quasi rampart #🔨base-gamma-support message

the comment under it shows where to find it

[glossy zenith]

Yeah dude I was trying to switch my NVG keybind and I had no idea how. It looked like that script referenced keybinds from original game instead of the actual key

[undone fjord]

is it normal that like 90% of the artifacts are at 5-10% health ? Cant find ONE artifact above 50% Probably zone bound ?

[willow hawk]

#│📚manual

[undone fjord]

yeah i have read it. But i thought, like 25-50%. Not 5% health

because no fuck is buying it. All like "Naah, nothing special this ... crap named Empty"

so its normal :(

[glossy zenith]

you can still find some 100% out there

[willow hawk]

Hum ? No

[glossy zenith]

ive got some from the named anomalies

[willow hawk]

They are 5 to 25% iirc

[glossy zenith]

can show a screenshot

unless thats a problem with my game

[willow hawk]

Perhaps these are the quest ones

Artefacts Hunters

But they are almost all bad

Just fuse artefacts together or craft new ones

[glossy zenith]

i got lobster eyes at 100%, the first one was from tutorial that was 100% and another I cant remember name of

[willow hawk]

Artefacts are much stronger than before

[willow hawk]

Weird. Artefacts at 100% should be converted to random %

[glossy zenith]

I finally got one of the artefact holders that let you use the power so im excited to try them out

[willow hawk]

Only the none 100% aren't converted

And my system only allows to get 99% ones

[glossy zenith]

Thats what I thought too from reading manual

i dont think I adjusted the artefact settings

I think youre right about them being quest artif, when i came upon the anomaly it said "discovered eletric anomaly" or whatever it was

and area show sup on map

[glossy zenith]

You know what? When I would switch them to another inventory or put in case and take out they would lose most durability

I thought I was doing something wrong while handling them

must be the mod sorting it out tho

[willow hawk]

Yup

[glossy zenith]

These spots

[edgy venture]

i did reinstall today because of my own mess ups, question is, i put the gamma folder on the D drive, and anomaly on the C drive (my small ssd), and now im seeing lower overall framrates. Is it possible the D drive is slowing it down?

before i had all installation on my ssd. I also booted it up with classic textures enabled and disabled agressor as i played before, about 20 frames or more shy of what i used to have.

[willow hawk]

Yes if one of the drive is an HDD

Especially if Anomaly is on an HDD instead of ssd

[edgy venture]

roger, Anomaly is on a SSD, the gamma folder was extracted to the HDD drive.

[stoic axle]

Oh my friggin god this was it, the documents lay on the ground in front of the entrance of the bunker, which is not accessible, in the north eastern corner of Radar

Holy crap these missions are a mess with their bad translations and nonexisting map markers

[supple basalt]

The follow up on that mission is even worse...
I just gave up on it . I found 2x of those artefacts and looked for 10 min for the 3rd one and gave up. Encountered 4 Chimeras on the way too lol

[willow hawk]

I don't mind the non existent markers

But translation needs to be fixed

[supple basalt]

Grok

I was struggling to find recipes for Exo PSU from monolith exo soldiers

are those recipe books locked behind rank ?

[willow hawk]

Yup

[supple basalt]

because at 21k points master rank i didn't get a single recipe

[willow hawk]

Behind goodwill

You can buy them

[supple basalt]

and i was getting Nosorog suits

[willow hawk]

On ennemies it's just RNG

[supple basalt]

I see... I did try to save scum 4x monolit exo soldiers

and i looted them more than 100 times

probably 10 times i got nosorog suits and not even once a recipe :/

[willow void]

Can I use debug mode? Seems to not be available albeit I have it enabled.

[brisk zinc]

Open MO2, launch the game trough Anomaly Launcher, LAUNCH the game

After that, launch the game with whatever you were using

Now you have debug mode

[willow void]

Oh thanks!

[brisk zinc]

Just selecting it doesn't work, you need to launch the game from there

You can teleport to that stash too but you (may) need to disable one add-on

Should be 58, Limited Travel or something like that

[stoic axle]

One of the mushrooms is on the helicopter and the two others between some rock formations, I used my Svarog

[edgy venture]

i knew i was missing something, i hadnt played with grass settings yet.

[stoic axle]

You now have to find literally 3 random mushrooms in the foresty part of Radar, where Corbyn reported to have encountered 4 chimeras hehe

No you were kind of correct, as the foresty part of Radar kind of was Red Forest, at least in Shadow of Chernobyl

But yeah, frickin bad translations

[junior swallow]

How do I equip exo suits?

I have a suit, frame, battery, but I cant do anything with them?

[north turret]

battery goes in a battery pack which goes into your backpack slot

[junior swallow]

When I drag the battery to the backpack square, nothing happens

[north turret]

exosuit is not an exoskeleton btw it's a separate armor

[north turret]

I said battery pack

dragging it ofc nothing will happen it won't equip

you need to put the battery in a battery pack and then you can put the pack in the slot

[glossy zenith]

Anyone know where i can buy/find some of those fancy army rifle repair kits?

Do I have to hook up technician with Adv. tools to have option?

[north turret]

technicians, IF you gave him the toolkits

[glossy zenith]

ok cool so that was true

[north turret]

it is

[glossy zenith]

i like that

[north turret]

it's like that in anomaly too

[desert robin]

Feedback: Hard pass on the NPCS not being able to loot in #📎to-do I cant see any value in this.. It feels like game mechanics are arbitrarily being stripped... What was the reason?

[junior swallow]

Turn on weapon laser sight?

[civic portal]

Hey guyz, weird-ass bug here: In the great swamps, when facing a certain direction, I experience a sudden change in brightness/gamma, which also happens with reshade turned off

[warped ginkgo]

TONEMAP

[civic portal]

the shift in brightness is not smooth, it just shifts instantaneously making the screen slightly brighter. You can notice this expecially at night

[warped ginkgo]

i think it's tonemap

[civic portal]

oh, noice, so I open the console and....?

[warped ginkgo]

type tonemap, and there is a command to turn it on/off

try turning it off and see if the effect still present

[civic portal]

ugh that still happens sadly

it's barely noticeable during daytime, though

[junior swallow]

Turn on/off laser sight? Are is it cosmetic?

[tidal raft]

Hold down your Torch-button. #│💻keybinds-in-gamma

[junior swallow]

Holding L (my torch keybind) only turns on my headlamp

[warped ginkgo]

dx8?

[junior swallow]

DX11

AVX

[tidal raft]

Which weapon?

[warped ginkgo]

holding L should let you turn on/off the laser of the gun (if the gun has it)
unless you changed the script

[junior swallow]

AR15 HERRA (BaS)

The green laser sight can not be un-attached. It comes fitted on the weapon.

[tidal raft]

Hera doesn't have laser sights.

[junior swallow]

Meaning, they're only cosmetic? Becomes this gun clearly has a green laser sight attached and even confirms in description on attachments in inventory

[tidal raft]

https://i.imgur.com/EYy2Xwl.gif

[junior swallow]

Boooooo

Thanks for the help

[warped ginkgo]

yeah it has a laser

[tidal raft]

Hmmmm.... I'll test it a bit more thoroughly.

[junior swallow]

This one??

[tidal raft]

Taking off my NVGs, ADS'ing once let me activate the laser on the Hera.

Okay, I was wrong!
Some Anomaly weirdness happened.

[tidal raft]

Yes, that one.

[junior swallow]

THATS IT.

[warped ginkgo]

yeah, looks like you need to aim and then let go

to activate the laser on the weapon

[junior swallow]

I had to unequip NVG, turn on laser, equip NVG, then both lights worked.

Great job team, everyone gets a raise.

[tidal raft]

[civic portal]

Solved. The sudden shift in gamma/brightness is caused by screen space lightning. With volumetric lightning I'm not experiencing this issue

(maybe it's location-specific, I've always used SS lightning and it never happened. I'm running "vanilla" gamma btw)

[nocturne merlin]

does the artefacts reinvention play nice with perk artefacts?

[tidal raft]

Yes.

[desert robin]

Where are edits to in-game console parameters saved/stored to? Such as middlegrey edits

[warped ginkgo]

user.ltx i think

[tidal raft]

[desert robin]

What's up with spawn settings, when you set zombies in the game, regardless of any settings you change or disable there seems to be no way to ever remove them? Ive had them off for days now and i still see them everywhere. Do i need to restart a playthrough?

[timid edge]

Just updated and noticed the armor icons are different, is that normal?

[tidal raft]

#🔨base-gamma-support message
I warned you.

[tidal raft]

You mean they only show bars and no percentages?

[timid edge]

The actual armor pictures.

Exosuit is back to it's vanilla picture.

[warped ginkgo]

do you have cr3pis icons enabled?

[tidal raft]

I think the outfit images are cropped to fit the new 'no helmet included'-style.

[junior swallow]

Is there a way to toggle the enhanced zoom? My default keybind is the side front mouse button. Can this be changed?

[tidal raft]

Inside Gamma Keybinds fixes.

[timid edge]

I didnt see that option.

Oh in the MO. Probably. Just updated so.

[warped ginkgo]

sometimes you can't

such is life

or just throw grenades and hope for the artefact go to your direction

[tidal raft]

Enable God mode. There is next to no other way, except what lauta_ro advised.

[brisk zinc]

You can shoot the artefact too

It will move

[junior swallow]

Hey @tidal raft I checked the keybind map and can confirm its the right bind but I searched through MCM and cant find an option to change it or make it toggle.

[tidal raft]

That particular spawn point you won't have an angle to shoot the artefact into a better position.

[brisk zinc]

Well yes, obviously

[brisk zinc]

He could try to "flank" it and shoot it away from there

[tidal raft]

Because there is no such option.

It's just a loose script. A script which you need to edit yourself to change the keybind.

[timid edge]

Fn scar wont work properly for me. I'm assuming im the only one with this issue since ive never seen anyone else speak of it.

[warped ginkgo]

dx8?¡

[timid edge]

Everytime i add a sight to it with it's grenade launcher attached, it borks the ammo selecter, causing crashes and missing ammo.

[junior swallow]

I dont mind the keybind, am I able to edit the file to make it toggle?

[tidal raft]

If you know LUA, sure.

[junior swallow]

Cant have my cake and eat it too lol

[timid edge]

Why dont you just use god mode?

Ya crazy masochist you!

Well, realistically it could be you got a really bad rng.

[tidal raft]

It's a poorly put together task chain by a slav. Luckily for Ironman runners, the task chain is non-essential.

Can confirm.

[brisk zinc]

What about the other side on the left? From the first picture it looks clear enough

[timid edge]

i thought that was the case after i said it 😄

[eternal elk]

Am i doing it right?

also i have a red cross on 196 maids hd icons

i tried updating 2 times and nothing changed

[timid edge]

am i the only one having serious issues trying to use detachable grenade launchers?

[desert robin]

I also have this on a clean install.

[eternal elk]

ye i just downloaded everything for the first time

at first it didint download all some plugins so i updated

and now i have this

[delicate wharf]

That is a known issue, it doesn't matter it's an optional mod

[eternal elk]

the ones on the SS also?

[delicate wharf]

Which screenshot? Stuff in disabled should be disabled,and the red cross by maids icon is known

[eternal elk]

ok i was just confused coz tutorial said that all numbered plugins should be in order

thanks

[desert robin]

"Stalker Squad Size" and "Squad Size Variance" does anyone know what the settings variables are? How much will adjusting this change the squad sizes by? Cant find anything on this in the ZCP moddb page

[brisk zinc]

Seems okay

196 is "normal", don't worry about it

[timid edge]

when putting artifacts that give boosts in rupture, ballistic, impact(Full empty artifact) onto my belt i see no changes on the stat list, is this normal? I'm putting five full empties on my belt and it is not showing any differences for those stats.

[warped ginkgo]

yeah maids is bugged

don't worry, game will still work fine

[warped ginkgo]

are you playing dx8?

[timid edge]

no. there's a host of different issues i'm running across now. I think my game is toast.

[warped ginkgo]

cuz last time i checked, some people had problems with the scar (bas) textures on dx8

which scar are you having problems with?

[timid edge]

Looks to be the base model. FN Scar H. The ammo select option doesnt show ammo after switching to the GL. Crashes everytime.

[warped ginkgo]

the fn scar h vanilla or the one from bas?

[timid edge]

I forgot to mention that i tested the other guns. It's specific to detachable gl's. Not the scar.

M203 launchers. Didnt test the other detachable. Tested the gun with the built in GL, that worked fine.

[warped ginkgo]

you're right about the ammo type

[timid edge]

My nightvision doesnt work anymore. Artifacts dont work. My game is fucked. I should have never updated...

[warped ginkgo]

tried vanilla scar + gl and bas scar + gl and both can't seem to change ammo type after removing the gl

[timid edge]

Sadly, i thoughr updating would fix the gun. It fixed my game to malfunction instead.

[next mica]

so i have gboobs enabled
ive done a somewhat quick run on rookie village, experienced-professional ranking stalkers.. and seems like there isnt any difference with 7.62 x 51 nato ap/ball rounds
it still takes 2 shots to kill a guy in the chest
then i tested it with 7.62x39 (standard ak 103) and it also needed 2 shots to kill a guy
in the chest
the only difference was with rookie-trainee stalkers.. 1shot with the ap/ball round was enough to take them down but not kill.. with 7.62 x39, it still needed 2 shots

tested with 5.45x39 ap and fmj.. fmj takes 2 shots to take down(not kill) and ap takes 2 shots to kill

is this a bug? shouldnt the 7.62x51 1shot chest against low level armor stalkers?

[timid edge]

could be hard coded ballistics. could be gun dependent.

[next mica]

wdym?

isnt gboobs supposed to bring that real like style of how ammo vs kevlar tier work ?

[rotund moss]

So you take canons with armor piercing to shoot at squirrels I see

[timid edge]

i remember instances in other games where modding certain aspects of games couldn't be done correctly because the elements were hard coded. There's always a certain expectation for elements. one example would be a grenade compared to bullets. Hard to explain.

[rotund moss]

2 things unless the loner is in an exo you can assume his highest armor rating is in protection against handguns (br3) range

[timid edge]

Yes the armor will be surpassed with AP, but the bullet itself was never coded to one hit kill.(especially with body shots) @next mica

[rotund moss]

Next the game doesn't have organs and actuall water in cells and liquids in bodies modeled Into it, even tho the tissue damage would compensate a bit for that

[timid edge]

just my take on it. doesnt make it correct. Just remember seeing something like that happen with a different game.

[rotund moss]

So I would say the bullets did what they did, and that pretty good since there was no armor to defeat in the first place the ap rounds did instead of less damage because no fragments or something like that (enough energy to just punch through) the same as thier non ap brothers resulting in your basicly useless laughter and waste of virtual life

[next mica]

is there no fragment or fragment chance in gboobs or in anomaly?

[rotund moss]

@next mica as far as i am aware (i cloud be wrong) there is no fragmentation of bullets in the X-ray engine

we have fragments (basicly spawned bullets) on explosives tho

[last igloo]

For the perk based artifacts, is there a keyboard mapping to use the perk or do they automatically apply? For example the "ball" says you can kick mutants? Thank you!

[rotund moss]

they apply if you put them into a belt slot, note that they loose condition even if you dont "use" them if they are in a beltslot. Also its funny to kick lurkers and zombies

[last igloo]

Do you just run up to them and it autokicks them? Or is there a command?

[warped ginkgo]

Press F

The use key

Tushkano/rats

[last igloo]

Perfect! Thank you!!

[brittle kestrel]

so what are the odds of two of those molten black/red chimeras spawning in agroprom at once?

[tulip crag]

is there a way to make your task reapper in my task bar?

[pure scarab]

artefacts dont have radiation anymore?

like no down side to carrying them without a container?

[brittle kestrel]

"junk" artifacts have no radiation

but regular artifacts still do

[wise sparrow]

updated and now all my existing saves CTD on load but i can start a new game, anyone else have this issue?

[lament lynx]

are all the settings in the MCM pre-configured for gamma? or I have to tweak them myself?

[brittle kestrel]

they are set a pre-set but you can change them if you want

[lament lynx]

thanks. how about the settings for the optional mods?

[brittle kestrel]

I don't think those have any pre-set config apart from how they come when you normally download them

[glossy zenith]

What seems to have happened here? Its only when I look through the scope

[willow hawk]

Which scope is that ?

[glossy zenith]

PU

[graceful iron]

thats the pu scope which normally works fine

[glossy zenith]

i have it ont he SKS

[graceful iron]

could be the gun it is on?

[willow hawk]

If you had mags enabled, enable them

[glossy zenith]

yeah this just started happening when I booted up the game a bit ago

[graceful iron]

what is the error you are getting? post the log here

the crash log

[willow hawk]

I'm pretty sure that's a shader problem with 2d shader based scopes

[glossy zenith]

You think it can be fixed?

well let me rephrase, do u know a fix i could try?

[willow hawk]

Try to see if it only happens with this scope

[glossy zenith]

yep

[graceful iron]

reinstall the mod?

[glossy zenith]

had acog on mp5 and was working right

[willow hawk]

Hum ok

[glossy zenith]

but thats only scope i have available atm

only other*

[willow hawk]

Ah

Try deleting shader cache in appdata folder from Anomaly

[glossy zenith]

got ya

[willow hawk]

No 7.62x51 doesn't one shot to the chest, only sniper ammo are doing this

That's intended

[graceful iron]

which sks is having that scope issue?

[willow hawk]

If you want to one shot to the chest, use 7.62x54r

Or 12.7x55 or .338 Lapua

[glossy zenith]

That worked

[graceful iron]

yea nvm if deleting shader cache worked then its fine

[glossy zenith]

Thank you for the help

[willow hawk]

Now eat something

[graceful iron]

[glossy zenith]

hahaha

my dude stays hungry

I noticed something with the SKS, idk if its intentional but whenever another stalker hears my shots and calls it on the radio they always say its a shotgun

[graceful iron]

that stuff is not always accurate. they can call suppressed rifles "shotguns" or suppressed shotguns "pistols"

[north turret]

that can happen with other guns too

[rocky mountain]

I did, what's up?

[lilac meteor]

Nothings wrong don't worry. Just liked the new MM deactivation sounds and was wondering what the guy was saying when you flick the switches.

[north turret]

probably something about critical power loss or something of the sorts

[blissful tree]

The one before the last switch could mean "damage".

[graceful iron]

they are pretty cool sound effects

[blissful tree]

Yeah they dope af.

[kind depot]

all the artifacts seem to be on 9/10% capacity whenever i find em, whats the deal with that?

[delicate wharf]

#│📚manual

[kind depot]

thanks!

[lapis silo]

Quick question (has probably been asked before): Does the effectiveness of Junk artifacts from PBA decrease with the "durability" of the artifact? For example this one

Do I get the full 20% chance of deflecting regardless of the efficiency of the artifact or does it decrease

[north turret]

I think it decreases

Idk tho

[willow hawk]

Junk artifact condition is decreasing whenever its power is used

[lapis silo]

Got ya, thank you kindly

[fresh aspen]

Hey can I change free zoom keybind or make it to click once to zoom second click to unzoom, not to hold?

[modest depot]

can someone tell me where this abandoned tunnel is

[graceful iron]

check pins

you will have to look through the mod list in mo2 and find a mod called "gamma keybind fixes"

[fresh aspen]

okay thanks

[graceful iron]

i dont know if you can actually change hold/toggle

but you can change the key

[lapis silo]

top of the map on the west side, there is a tunnel with psy anomalies, maybe that one

[modest depot]

it was the right one

thank you

[lapis silo]

[scenic pulsar]

do silencers reduce damage as in standard anomaly?

[graceful iron]

yes they reduce muzzle velocity

which reduces damage

[halcyon mulch]

oh boy...thats opposite of what they do in real life

I dont care but the SS will come and fight you on it be sure

[graceful iron]

game balance is more important than realism at some point

[halcyon mulch]

yes I agree.

[coarse ivy]

Can the free zoom feature be turned down somehow? Right now it looks like it zooms 4x (the same as a PSO scope) making all 4x acopes kinda useless since you can just use a red dot and free zoom while ADSing

[halcyon mulch]

YES to this^

Always bothers me to see zoom like that in games with scopes

Free zoom errrjust buy some binos

[graceful iron]

if it bothers you, dont use it

easy

[halcyon mulch]

true

[graceful iron]

not sure if there is a way to tone it down

give me a sec

search for a mod called keybind fixes in mo2 and open in explorer

look for the free zoom file in the scripts folder and open it as a text file

not exactly sure how to change the exact zoom but i think it has to do with these lines

[coarse ivy]

Thanks! i know that i can just not use it but human nature and all that 😉 i like the feature overall. like focusing on something in the distance. just thought it was a bit op.

[scenic pulsar]

Ok thanks

[versed bane]

should i play over scavenger or survivalist progression?

[icy oyster]

why is it existing, lore not friendly at all, gorks can you do something ?

[fresh fiber]

I think it's here to compensate the fact that ennemies now engage you from further away

[icy oyster]

the harder, the better

[versed bane]

hell yea brother

[icy oyster]

that's what she said

[graceful iron]

dont. frikin. use it

if you dont like it just dont use it

its so simple

"quite a simple but unbreakable spell"

[icy oyster]

"Thanks! i know that i can just not use it but human nature and all that 😉 i like the feature overall. like focusing on something in the distance. just thought it was a bit op. "

same vibe

[graceful iron]

change the zoom

AI in anomaly has some advantages over the player in terms of detection and visibility

the binocs is way too annoying for some people to pull out every time

[brisk zinc]

Intended? (it doesn't have radiations)

[storm moon]

Quest item?

[graceful iron]

grok did the strength skill get buffed in terms of carry weight ? if i am not mistaken it used to give one extra kg of carry weight for every level, now it seems to give 2 or more i am not exactly sure .

it could have been in one of the latest updates for the addon

[graceful iron]

cant find anything about a similar change in the addon's changelog

[brisk zinc]

Yes

[graceful iron]

does anyone know if there is a button that makes companions visible on the map? i am not sure but i might have accidently pressed something and they no longer show on the mini map or the pda map

[timid edge]

console command or debug option to cancel mission?

[south dirge]

That happens to me a lot as well, I think it might just be a bug because it just goes back to normal on its won after some time.

[graceful iron]

i dont think its a bug. also this happened a few hours ago and i have loaded saves and closed the game and opened to see if it would go back to normal but they still dont have map icons

i feel like it happened exactly as i pressed something

but cant figure out what

[timid edge]

Lost Signal mission question. Is there a general consistency with where the targets are, ie near points of interest, or are they literally anywhere on the map?

[south dirge]

In my experience, anywhere and that's why I don't accept those for Jupiter, can never find the bloody body.

[blissful tree]

Could be anywhere, there are possible hotspots but usually it's rng.

[nocturne merlin]

is there any option that lets me heal over time if all my limbs are fine, and i'm not taking rad + not hungry or thirsty?

[brisk zinc]

I think some artefacts do that

Or you can rest by campfires but it takes time

[proven thorn]

Is there any way to bind a console command with arguments to a key?

Figured it out, it's "bind_console"

[willow hawk]

I don't know

[graceful iron]

well idk if you want to take a look at it, it feels a bit overpowered if i am correct

[brisk zinc]

I second this question since Spore gave me a quest I cannot complete

[timid edge]

was that the sponge request?

[brisk zinc]

I need to bring a PDA to Nimble

But I don't have the PDA

Talking to Spore didn't help either, I hoped for a "I couldn't do the job"

[timid edge]

bummer. no debug option huh?

[brisk zinc]

I can't find anything inside debug mode

Only some PDAs that crashes the game

[tidal raft]

I haven't tested it myself, but could you have stashed the PDA?

[proven thorn]

It's classed as a quest item instead of a normal PDA I think, if that helps

[brisk zinc]

Already tried all of them, nothing

[brisk zinc]

I've searched in all of my stashes, it's not there

[timid edge]

@brisk zinc there is a command line for the debug that we can use to finish quest, but we need the exact name of the quest. Evidently the names are in configs/misc/tasks/tm_yantar.itx

[brisk zinc]

Yeah I saw that post too

Can't find "configs" though

[nocturne merlin]

how do i rest at a bonfire? just stand near it?

[timid edge]

@brisk zinc well all my anomaly files are packed and need a program to unpack them so we can actually interact with all these suggested files.

[brisk zinc]

Yes

[stoic axle]

The PDA for Nimble is one of those that you can't take out of your Inventory, it stays there until you talk to Nimble. It's not in a stash

[brisk zinc]

Left one

Right one

I have these two and I can't take them out

I don't have the marker for Nimble (I know he's on the ship)

[stoic axle]

Right one seems to be Streloks

Think it's one of those left ones

[timid edge]

i just want to know how the hell i'm suppose to find a needle in a haystack, even if the needle has a receiver to find the thing...

[proven thorn]

There aren't that many buses

[brisk zinc]

I can't even find Nimble on the ship

[tidal raft]

Take two stairs up from Beard's bar.

[graceful iron]

the mission does not give a marker and does not update if you get the right pda

you will have to test which pda is the correct one and talk to nimble to look for a "i have something for you" option

[brisk zinc]

@tidal raft thank you, found him

@graceful iron

Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh

Never again

[tidal raft]

🍆 💦

[brisk zinc]

Me rn

[tidal raft]

[graceful iron]

i never seen it bug like that before

its easy money to make while going north to zaton for other missions

[brisk zinc]

I had it on me but like you said, no markers, no updates, nothing

[graceful iron]

you thought it would update

[brisk zinc]

Well yeah

[nocturne merlin]

survivalist econ mode is the reason why making food is even a mechanic isn't it lol

[graceful iron]

i think its the only anomaly quest thats not marked

[willow hawk]

True

[nocturne merlin]

played on the mid mode for about a week and never needed it till this new survivalist playthrough

[tidal raft]

It's not especially difficult to find food though. Even on Survivalist.

[graceful iron]

with how broken spawns were with zcp

yea

[brisk zinc]

No I was wrong @graceful iron I don't have it on me, I still have the Strelok one and the other PDA that I'm almost sure it's taken from debug mode without me noticing (talking about a long time ago)

[graceful iron]

some quest items cant be dropped

so if you get them from debug

[brisk zinc]

Yeah I know...

It's a PDA so it's not that much of a problem, it weighs like 0.1 so it's fine

[timid edge]

@brisk zinc hey. I just looked in my log and see that the mission is still there even though i completed it. I JUST got done completing it, too. Might be what happened to you.

[brisk zinc]

@graceful iron scratch that, it was that one

[graceful iron]

https://tenor.com/view/stoobid-steven-he-dumb-you-so-stoobid-gif-21984392

[brisk zinc]

I wasn't sure about it so I've tried again

NOW I only have the Strelok one and that's okay

[wise sparrow]

fixed the issue by just nuking the install and running it again overnight

[graceful iron]

you could have just done a complete installation through the installer

[brisk zinc]

My problem was that the PDA was on me but I didn't have a marker and I didn't know that that was the actual PDA I need. And the quest was just "go find him", so the first thought was "I don't even have the PDA yet I can go to Nimble, where the hell is that PDA?"

[timid edge]

so the mission cleared from your log?

[brisk zinc]

Yeah, I had the PDA, everything is fine

[graceful iron]

what mission are you having issues with whiskey ?

[wise sparrow]

good to know for next time thanks

[timid edge]

we will see in a moment whether i did the mission or not. otherwise the deliver to nimble quest didn't clear from my log.

[graceful iron]

you mean the pda log? where you see your missions?

[timid edge]

yes, and it finished correctly. I must have loaded a save before i finished it and forgot to finish the quest again. all good.

[graceful iron]

[junior swallow]

Curious about the Stealth 2.0 mod. I'm not sure which direction to change the multiplier variables in MCM? Which directions make it harder or easier?

[graceful iron]

higher numbers mean you will be detected easier

@north turret can you try downloading gamma RC1 folder again?

and then make sure you get the v3 installer update and extract it in grok's modpack installer folder and replace files

[timid edge]

how can i tell what achievements have been unlocked?

seems to me Heavy Pockets didn't want to trigger.

[graceful iron]

each run has its own achievements, pda has them in statistics

10mil

for heavy pockets

gamma change

[timid edge]

how does it go from one million to ten million, and who the hell thought that was reasonable?

[north turret]

im on it

[graceful iron]

so you wont go buying the high end devices by getting 1 mil

you have to craft them

or get enough goowill

grok made that change

[timid edge]

makes sense now i guess LOL

I'm level five with Loner faction and they don't sell squat. Can't even get proper ammo. Owl has nothing. Was hoping the Deep Pocket achievement would help.

[graceful iron]

try to read through the install steps again and make sure to not skip or miss any of them

we had people skip step 2 for some reason

[graceful iron]

it says level 5 trader?

[timid edge]

yes. and days have past, and levels have been traversed and nothing comes of these traders. High tier is essentially relengated to loot from corpses. Loners, Clear Sky, Ecologist have nothing for me!

[graceful iron]

did you enable any addons? there are some optionals that might cause that

if not then try sidorovich if you have not

and if you have debug mode try doing a "refresh inventory"

on one of the traders

[graceful iron]

at high trader levels traders will start selling more and better ammo types, a lot of advanced devices and some belt attachments

[north turret]

it still does the same thing

im at step 3

[graceful iron]

try starting it as admin? far fetch but trying something i guess

[north turret]

did that as first thing i tried

[graceful iron]

tried with and without admin

?

[north turret]

ye

[graceful iron]

#╟❓general-offtopic message @willow hawk this error when starting the installer?

is there something he is missing or doing wrong?

[modest depot]

is eidolon meant to have 2 violat emeralds on him

theres one thats 100% efficiency and one thats 1%

[graceful iron]

are you sure its not a visual bug? did you move them to your inventory ?

[modest depot]

and yes i have

the 100% one went to 18% as intended

[graceful iron]

i think it could be intended to find multiple on him in gamma

since now you have to empower them

and to get more i think you need to craft them

[modest depot]

yeah that makes sense

[graceful iron]

so you can get a 98% one

thats the max btw(can still get to 99 sometimes)

[modest depot]

aight well

thanks for the response

[desert robin]

How can i hide the bar in the bottom left?

[tidal raft]

Hmm. 'Numpad Enter'-key didn't remove that bar for you?

[limber lily]

Every artifact I find is in garbage condition. I've found like 15 of them and can't sell a single one to Sakharov. Do I need to smelt them together or is my game messed up or something?

[tidal raft]

You need to combine them to restore their condition.

You make more Roubles doing tasks anyway.
#╟❓general-offtopic message

[proven thorn]

Last post in #│📚manual too

[limber lily]

thanks guys

[weary birch]

@tidal raft @graceful iron guys can someone help me? for some reason with certain moments, all the artifacts that I find have 0-10% quality

[tidal raft]

It's normal. #│📚manual

[weary birch]

so now i must combine two same artifacts to create one normal?

[tidal raft]

Pretty much.

[north turret]

is there anything i can do to help you guys understand why exactly is my gamma installer not working?

[desert robin]

Does anyone know any mod or anything that might either enable or give similar option in story mode to the 'capture areas' feature of warfare? I loved the idea if this struggle between factions to take areas because after i clear a base, to see them all spawned back the next day is a bit annoying all the work goes to waste. Some sort of occupy mod or soemthing?

The closest thing ive seen is ClearSky where you do the missions for them in Swamps, gradually taking over and seeing more and more CS, but ive so far not found anything similar anywhere else, but ive only been few south areas... I sort of hoped and thought the other areas would be like this. Are they?

[willow hawk]

It's more annoying than anything...

Also leads to large imbalances

That's why I recommend story mode

[icy oyster]

How to "repair" mutant pelt ?

[tidal raft]

You can't.

[brisk zinc]

(for now, maybe one day)

[icy oyster]

ok 🙂

[tidal raft]

True, but I don't see much of good reason to repair hides since other 'better' attachments exists.

[desert robin]

Is there a way to tell where i should be going for quests? How can i determine who gives the important or useful main ones versus just shitty generic stuff?

[tidal raft]

It's mostly from pre-existing knowledge.
Do you mean radiant tasks handed out by random NPCs, or storyline tasks?

[desert robin]

Story i guess?

[brisk zinc]

What Aldourien said + you have the yellow quests which are the main ones (maybe you need to activate some of them), you have the "trader quests" like Sidorovich, Beard and so on and you have the "NPCs" quests that are the most shitty (imho), like "bring me X quantity of Y stuff"

[tidal raft]

All story tasks are marked with yellow markers.

Well.. 'Shitty' is a bit harsh since you can get a lot of rewards from radiant tasks.

Plus goodwill is always a good commodity.

[brisk zinc]

I always tend to avoid NPCs task, shitty request = shitty reward most of the time, if not always

[brisk zinc]

I thought that you can get goodwill doing things for traders too

[tidal raft]

Yes, you do.
However, you will get more goodwill 'per day' when combining the various tasks from traders and random NPCs alike.
#╟❓general-offtopic message

[brisk zinc]

Oh didn't know that, good to know

I think I'm fine even without those quests

[tidal raft]

[brisk zinc]

Yes I tend to be friends with everyone

[tidal raft]

Me too!

[willow hawk]

You can't yet. That's something that was added in the latest version of Perk Based Artifacts but this will be reworked by GAMMA with a new system like artefacts using a new kit: the Tanner's Kit, buyable at Forester and Butcher to combine bad pelts into better pelts + pelts stats will be reworked

99% Peusodogiant pelt will be really useful for instance

[tidal raft]

For what?

[desert robin]

making you feel 'safe' as you wrap yourself in it in a cosy closet underground with your fairylights and anime

[tidal raft]

That sounds kind of nice actually.

[icy oyster]

thanks for the answer 🙂

[willow hawk]

Better defense than armor plates

[tidal raft]

Not bad.

Wait. All of the armour plate inserts?

[willow hawk]

Yes

Armor plates will be fine early on but outclassed by artefacts and pelts

[tidal raft]

Mite b cool.

[chilly nebula]

is there a possibility to make the AK5 with ECO - Upgrade less nervous in zoomed scope view? ^^
It is way more nervous than any other scope with zoom

[silent phoenix]

does gamma add anything else besides performance boosts and reshades

[chilly nebula]

its a ton of content! Check the "manual" to get a tiny overview 😉

[delicate wharf]

also #❗welcome for a summary

[chilly nebula]

or would anyone tell me how to change the config for the AK5 ECO?
I mean you can use the red Dot realy fine like all other weapons in comparson, but the zoomed view feels realy unnatural.

AND: I meant the AK4 ISG Upgrade ^^

[desert robin]

Does anyone else avoid going to npc's who can teleport you to other areas/zones as it feels too much like fast-travel which is disabled in the game and feels a bit cheaty? Maybe its just me but i feel like its better running through all the zones...

[short gulch]

Does no one know how Hanging Moss really works?

I'm not joking, it's trivial

[brisk zinc]

I know you're not joking

I'm just curious

[short gulch]

It's a speed/time sensitive anomaly

you can walk into it, but not jog into it

You look down, you see particles gathering about your person

you stop moving

when the particles go away, you can continue safely walking through it

else it will murder you

[brisk zinc]

If I'll run into it, I'll try it

Thank you for the tip

[short gulch]

this applies to the hanging and ground based moss variants

[brisk zinc]

Speaking of other things, I need someone who is in the northern part of the zone, like Limansk, Dead City, Red Forest, etc.

Is it just me... or there aren't emissions? I've disabled both Brain Scorcher and Miracle Machine, maybe it's because of that?

[short gulch]

i disabled the miracle machine in one play through, and blowouts stopped happening for me

i thought it was just a glitch from literally playing a single playthrough for like a month

[brisk zinc]

How do artifacts work now then?

[short gulch]

don't they continue to spawn anyway?

check your console for a message

should say something like "grok will spawn artifacts in 3000000"

[tidal raft]

Emissions should still happen regardless.

Maybe there's an issue with the Event Manager.

[short gulch]

during my merc playthrough, i would often be in the army warehouses, hear the crows stirring up a storm

and then nothing would happen

[timid edge]

"Find Artifacts" main questline Artifacts don't want to spawn. Any tips or ideas?

[timid edge]

Havent spent a long enough time there, but i don't remember hiding from an emission there.

[brittle kestrel]

Why does hip punch me in the face when I tell her about the job for barkeep?

[pure scarab]

after how north i must go so "junk" artefacts will stop showing up

i am in AW and i still get junk

[brittle kestrel]

uh I think there's only like 2 actual junk artifacts now tbh. the ones that don't have direct stat effects have perks that can be quite powerful

[pure scarab]

oh so containers are useless? becuse there's no downside to have them in your inventory

[brittle kestrel]

You can still find regular artifacts and those are radioactive, but you gotta run around anomaly fields for a bit. Keep in mind that the artifacts just pop in periodically, rather then just after an emission so just running around something like yantar where there's 4 or 5 fields in close proximity is a great way to farm them.

[timid edge]

I JUST witnessed this having no idea that was the case.

[brittle kestrel]

like actually though, I re-read it a few times to make sure something didn't just go over my head like that line with noah where you imply he fucks his dog.

she punches me, pulls out her gun and backs away but still says we should meet later. I'm not a faction that's hostile to loners nor do I have low loner rep. She goes back to normal once I say it's time to start the job.

[timid edge]

She likes you. 😐

No tips on the main quest artifacts not spawning in Agroprom?

[glossy zenith]

isnt that the one you have to find laptop for?

Quest info says the laptop will help you find them. That EMP field its in is no joke tho

[brittle kestrel]

the psy field one?

yeah, find the laptop

[glossy zenith]

you need some serious psy protection. I tried psy block and a joint combined but my dude still shot hjimself

[glossy zenith]

I think thats the one theyre speaking of, i have the same quest but forget the area it was in

[brittle kestrel]

you need a real helmet or gas mask. not the resperator or rookie mask

[glossy zenith]

ok good to know

I got a good one so far. Sphere-12 helmet

but need advanced tools to get tech to sell them

[brittle kestrel]

also, remember you can just yeet yourself out the window, you don't need to run back through

[glossy zenith]

hahahaha

my dude makes it down the first flight of stairs before i get blacked out

I used outside catwalk to get to 3rd floor

[brittle kestrel]

oh nah, just go up the fire escape, run across the left side of the room, grab the laptop, and jump out the window

[glossy zenith]

see idk where laptop is

is it in the back with all the computer desk?

[brittle kestrel]

second floor, past the anomalies into the open area

right where the windows are

[glossy zenith]

ok will give it a whirl

who sells cheap ammo besides the butcher?

sidorovich taxes like a mofo. Helping me out, my ass

I love how the blackjack option is "Sido you fat f*cking thief..." Hahaha someone else shares my thought.

[timid edge]

Nevermind. Found them in debug...

@glossy zenith the scientist in yantar has a psy block helmet you buy. I think 50k is the price.

[brittle kestrel]

honestly, I make my own ammo

[pure scarab]

i love how psy blocks and joints are literaly useless xD

[timid edge]

@glossy zenith dont get the cheap one.

[brittle kestrel]

who needs to buy 5.7 ammo when you can disassmble 9x18 to make it

[pure scarab]

i prefer to buy it since i like to RP, i dont think someone would be able to craft ammo in the zone xD

[brittle kestrel]

why not? it's not hard.

well, reloading ammo isn't hard

obviously making your own primers and smokeless powder is not exactly on the table

[pure scarab]

yes reloading not changing the caliber

[brittle kestrel]

just gotta make like a soup can forge to melt everything down and recast it XD

[pure scarab]

LMAO

[brittle kestrel]

I put a clay pot on a long pole fill it with brass and hold it over a burner anomaly to melt it down to recast it

[pure scarab]

lets move this convo to general

Workbench needed to craft ammo and I am good immersion wise

Clay pot over a fire out in a forest not so much😋

[pure scarab]

why does the audio gets bugged when theres alot of gun shots happening?

[glossy zenith]

ok will have to check that out. I found a medium helmet off a Bandit. Sphere-12 Helmet, i cant remember exact stats im really hoping that can get the job done

but I think I may need to purchase that helmet because I just cant find Advanced tools yet. Thanks for the info

[pure scarab]

you need to buy the toolkit to repair the things right?

[glossy zenith]

right but they wont carry the medium armor kit till I give them advanced tools right?

or army rifle kit

[brittle kestrel]

yes

[glossy zenith]

you need a bench or tool kit and repair items

if you right click on item and choose "details" it will show all the parts u need to repair

[brittle kestrel]

you don't need a bench

[glossy zenith]

you can either straight up repair the object or replace parts to repair

[brittle kestrel]

you just need the tools

you can use them right out of your inventory

[glossy zenith]

like I said OR toolkit

[brittle kestrel]

well the bench won't help if you don't have the tools. unless you've given the tools to the attatched mechanic already

in which case you still needed the tools lul

[glossy zenith]

tool kit, basic tools, advanced tools

[brittle kestrel]

yes

[glossy zenith]

i call it toolkit

lol idk why

but yeah toolkit could refer to the plethora of tool kits so I shouldnt call it that

[pure scarab]

i dont mean like basic tools, more like, armour tool kit and things like that

[brittle kestrel]

if you have the repair kit for the weapon type in your inventory, you can also right click on weapons and select maintain parts to instantly repair the components.

[brittle kestrel]

ah yes

[pure scarab]

mechanics sell them if i am not mistaken

[brittle kestrel]

yes

once you bring them the tool kits

[glossy zenith]

correct

and someone was telling me their store inventory grows when you bring them better tools

[brittle kestrel]

yes

this is true

[glossy zenith]

so to get access to better repair kits u have to give them better tools which is fantastic

jeez all this STALKER talk, I have to go play now

Do you guys know who sells ammo the cheapest?

besides Butcher

[pure scarab]

lol

[glossy zenith]

actually I just remembered i found the ammo kit, so I can just craft my own

[nocturne merlin]

Over the course of a session saving/traveling/menu takes longer and longer

[glossy zenith]

do you have a bunch of saves logged up?

I deleted some and it seemed to help with the freezing a little

[pure scarab]

when you find a bandit rookie on garbage with a granade launcher

[glossy zenith]

Dude u want a crazy skirmish?

follow the road south of Rookie Village to the checkpoint

I was not prepared for that^

[nocturne merlin]

Yeah military is a bitch

I'll try deleting saves but it loads quick on game restart for awhile

[timid edge]

@glossy zenith it's not an actual helmet. Just some head thing you keep in inventory. You will need it eventually for main quest line.

[brittle kestrel]

There's a mod in gamma to teleport companions to you right? how do I use that?

Also, is ther a way to make my companions appear on my map?

[glossy zenith]

ohhhhh so thats the device that im supposed to go get???? Ok got it

[glossy zenith]

They should appear ont he map already

See i noticed there were no markers on my minimap but then out of nowhere yesterday they started showing up. Gold stars and yellow circles for certain stalkers.

So idk whats up with that, I didnt change any settings either

[brittle kestrel]

for some rason the green circle around hip vanished

other stalker's have markers, but not hip

[glossy zenith]

oh and u have to map a key to the teleport button

its all the way at bottom of keymap list

[brisk zinc]

J

[brittle kestrel]

thanks

[brisk zinc]

For the other questions

I don't know

[brisk zinc]

Is she in the same map with you?

[brittle kestrel]

ye

[brisk zinc]

Maybe she's bugged, try to load a previous save?

[timid edge]

@brisk zinc you ever figure out that emission deal you were asking about?

[brisk zinc]

Not yet, still no emissions

[pure scarab]

bro weapons jam all the time holy shit

[brittle kestrel]

what's the % of the parts?

even if you've cleaned it up, rough parts will make it jam

[brisk zinc]

@timid edge I'm in Army Warehouse, after sleeping, it was a test
I don't know how much "north" is it but emissions are present

[brittle kestrel]

also, are you using old ammo?

[brisk zinc]

Old ammo doesn't "exist" in GAMMA

[pure scarab]

i just saw it one of the parts is red

[brisk zinc]

They all get converted to new one as soon as you take them

[pure scarab]

still enough to make the entire gun jam after every sho

[brisk zinc]

You need to repair it 😛

[brisk zinc]

Delete shaders cache, it helps too
(Anomaly\appdata\shaders_cache)

[brittle kestrel]

oh shit, does "he is with me" not work with hip?

[brisk zinc]

Unfortunately no

Learn it the hard way with some mercs

[brittle kestrel]

sheeeet

just learned that too dropping into merc base

[brisk zinc]

If you need to do something disguised, leave her far away and go alone

[pure scarab]

i learned that when going to garbage and mercs and bandits attacking the loners there

[brittle kestrel]

I'm not disguised, I'm Cleary sky trying to go through dead city to get to yantar

[brisk zinc]

You should be safe (I guess), Hip is tough enough to survive a few shots

You could run

Tell her to avoid fighting

[brittle kestrel]

I used the debug menu to make her clear sky for now

hopefully that won't break anything

[timid edge]

Yanton is your best bet to test. 👍

[last igloo]

Does anyone else notice the m4a2 tactical bas and carabineer bas iron sights are way off? Also is it a bug or can i only turn off some of the bas lasers?

[desert robin]

How do i complete this quest? Theres no marker or details beyond some 'west tower' ?

[warped ginkgo]

You need to find the device

here's the location if you don't want to find it yourself:

[rocky mountain]

Ahh thank you!

They're actually unused game files. The first one says something like "there's a power reduction in the sector - call the hazard officer"

The second one says there's a further reduction in power

The third one just repeats "emergency"

[north ore]

How did you trigger the Last Dawn quest?

[desert robin]

A trader in CS base. "Is there any special jobs?" or something

[desert robin]

I'm at that exact spot and theres nothing there.

Guess i need to restart my playthhrough -_-

Nvm found it. I'm retarded. Accidently loaded an old save that didnt have the quest. Thanks mate

[buoyant sable]

Where do I update gamma?

Do I just use the installer again?

[desert robin]

#old-how-to #old-how-to message

[buoyant sable]

I think I got it thank you

[gritty oar]

why cant the talking stone cacnt be empowered?

[glossy zenith]

talking stone? 🤔 Sounds interesting

im not familiar with it, hopefully I will be soon

[gritty oar]

yeah i was playing around debug mode since im new gamma and sucjh the thing is basically broken when you get it from the f7 menu

[gritty oar]

is there a way to change the hunger need my i feel my character is such a fatty hes always fucking hungry

[kindred geode]

Is there a way to make outfits from aslans lottery specific to your faction? I hate wearing suits that aren't the faction I'm currently playing and with gammas economy it can take an infinite amount of time before I find a CS Skat-9 for example

I guess this question is better suited for the specific mod that changes aslans lottery

[brittle kestrel]

yeah, I know there's been a few ideas floating around about making ways to get your own faction's gear.

apart from baiting mutants into friendlies

[kindred geode]

Don't take so many hunger inducing meds like ibuprofen, also eat things that fill you more
For example boar chops give you a 602 kcals and they are extremely light too at only 0.19kg roughly

[brittle kestrel]

yes, Ibuprofen is a diet drug in gamma

[kindred geode]

It's so good though

But it chugs your food

[brittle kestrel]

wish it worked like that IRL, loose some weight fast

[kindred geode]

There are things like that in irl

[brittle kestrel]

meth mostly lol

[kindred geode]

It's called meth, wifes in the 60s used to take it

yeah lol

[brittle kestrel]

they still perscribe it in the US for ADHD and sometimes obesity

[kindred geode]

Yeah I've had friends that were in elementary or grade school depending on where you're from, that had it prescribed to them for ADHD they didn't have

[brittle kestrel]

that reminds me, I heard that using cocaine had hidden permanent debuffs for your character in anomaly, is this true?

[kindred geode]

Hey wait

That can't be true right?

I've been a drug addict in the zone with cocaine and epi pens running through radar and cnpp

Am I being punished for my actions?

[glossy zenith]

Haha right? My dudes always hungry

[delicate wharf]

make sure you aren't just eating 120kcal nothing foods. A real meal of like 500-600 kcals will last you a long time as long as you aren't spamming meds that are -kcal

[glossy zenith]

right, plus I sprint a lot and im pretty sure that drains your food meter even faster

[glossy zenith]

When you get enough money buy one of the cooking kits and cook up all the mutant parts you get, it was a lifesaver for me

saved me a lot of money too

[delicate wharf]

hmm I always sprint but yea that probably does drain more nutrition as well

[glossy zenith]

I was doing a little experimenting yesterday and im pretty dang sure it does, significantly too

[tall charm]

No

[tall charm]

No

Time based

Not movement

Same with sleep

Sprinting around won’t make you tired or jumping up at down

[glossy zenith]

sweet good to know

[tall charm]

Unless you code the lottery to only drop your favorite factions clothes, no it is always random

[kindred geode]

Extremely unfortunate, I'll just have to farm money for stash locations and pray that there's a clear sky suit in one of them

Out of all suits in the game

[tall charm]

Just hunt down cs members

Are you cs?

[kindred geode]

Yes

I don't like wearing suits that aren't my faction, just doesn't make sense to me

Other option is looking for veteren/master cs stalkers and trying to group up with them and just walking into limansk trying to get them killed

[halcyon mulch]

Someone posted a mod that has sprint increases tiredness along g with so.e other Kool bits

[glossy zenith]

Kinda wish you could apply the patches to your suits

[graceful iron]

is the anomaly disguise system that hard to understand?

[glossy zenith]

no not at all

[graceful iron]

you can put on a faction's suit to disguise as one

remove the patch to stop the disguise

put the patch back to disguise again

[rotund moss]

depending on the settings its easier or harder to do stuff while being disuised

[graceful iron]

[glossy zenith]

oh so you can apply/remove patches????

[graceful iron]

[rotund moss]

"tear patch" "put patch back on"

you guys never rightclick anything do you?

[glossy zenith]

🤦‍♂️

[graceful iron]

they didnt play enough anomaly thats what

[glossy zenith]

ive been ditching suits because they were the wrong faction 🤣

[glossy zenith]

That would be it

[graceful iron]

you still need the correct faction's suit

[rotund moss]

idk if you play vanilla anomaly like a curios cat you get pretty far imo

[glossy zenith]

never seen the patch option tho, dismantled quite a few suits too

[rotund moss]

its like the 3rd option....

[graceful iron]

[glossy zenith]

got ya

[rotund moss]

same, i didnt even have coffee xD

[glossy zenith]

do you have to be wearing it to remove?

[rotund moss]

no? not to my knowlage at least

[graceful iron]

nope

[graceful iron]

we need coffee in the zone

[rotund moss]

Indeed

[spiral kestrel]

is there a way to have the ambiance music the way it was in the vanilla games ?

[graceful iron]

maybe an addon that does that

[nocturne halo]

Is there a way to sort by weight? or to see the combined weight of a specific category?

[desert robin]

Hey @willow hawk , just curious - Do you have a team that work on GAMMA or is it mostly just you? We smash ideas and suggestions out on the daily and you pin and #📎to-do everything, but do you keep some kind of offline priority list? It feels like theres a wave of stuff that you will literally never get to, so i guess i was just curious is it like, all in vain and should we be thinking a lot of the stuff is years away and not really practical to suggest stuff? Youre probably juggling a lot, i guess im just interested in your resourcing and the feesability of this as a long term project. What's your biggest limiting factor? What are the biggest helps to you right now? What can be done that will have the most helpful/positive impact on the overall GAMMA regarding future and updates etc?

If theres one thing i can ask that instead pivots the rest of the Q's in that, it's "What is the most important thing that i, a peasant player can do right now to help GAMMA in some way" Cause i feel like its feedback/suggestions and thats why i smash it.

But im just not sure is all.

[willow hawk]

It's only me

Cr3pis helps me with icons and textures

And Lucy sometimes give me hand by coding fixes / tweaks etc for her own playthrough that I then share with you guys

All feedback is good because it gives me new ideas to improve GAMMA. Not all feedback will be implemented in GAMMA of course. I have a personal list of priorities in mind.

Currently I'm on vacations so I cannot mod a lot. That's why #📎to-do keep growing.

I think most of #📎to-do is doable and will be done at some point.

When I cannot say.

What I need is a team of modders that can help me implement the changes in #📎to-do but that's a long way to go to be autonomous on making these changes.

Thankfully most #📎to-do stuff are small fixes, small QoL etc.

The big changes are already made, next step is simply to make the tanner's kit for mutant pelts improvements.

Next huge step is rebalancing the entire actor damage but I'm not sure when I'll have time to mod that.

But my priority is pushing RC2 and all the new add-ons , bug testing it thank to you guys, and then release GAMMA on moddb.

[hexed galleon]

Hey guys, I have trouble getting the game to work. First it crashed after loading into the game. After replacing the exe-files I was able to get it to work. Unfortunately I only get white flickering once I'm in the actual game. The hud and mini-map work, but the "world" is just white flickering. Any solutions?

[graceful iron]

#│🔧troubleshooting

black and white screen

and try deleting your shader cache if that does not work

[hexed galleon]

worked, somehow I didn't see that it was a known issue before. thanks bud!

[lapis silo]

with "dump" does he mean the garbage or truck cemetry

[graceful iron]

i think the dump is used for the garbage

sometimes when talking to these npcs for the additional quest they give hints about the specific places

so try to read that

[lapis silo]

yeah, it was a bit unclear in the dialouge as well, but i had a feeling it was garbage. Thank you
