[graceful iron]

@brave hemlock apparently you can

[brave hemlock]

I mean, for that, you'd need to actually hold it. I prefer to G it

[strange moon]

True

Me who just holds it down like an idiot:

[graceful iron]

[strange moon]

Haha, grenade go distant explosion

[graceful iron]

i never knew the grenade system was that advanced in anomaly

thought it was just far throw and close throw

[strange moon]

Lel

For me far throw is just throwing the grenade into the air

Lmao

And short throw for me never really existet felt

[strange moon]

Also no problem lol

[brave hemlock]

hey hey folks! Missed me? 🙂 These are my two homies. Do I understand it correctly that I should definitely drop the left one?

Where do I get better, tankier followers? Cuz these die quickly from two pseudodogs

[strange moon]

North

Is all imma say

[graceful iron]

the higher rank you are the higher rank your companions can be, you can talk to random patrolling stalkers and some of them will have an option "hey lets explore the zone as a team we will help each other"

[strange moon]

And their pretty rare too

[brave hemlock]

what? Wait. Rank? Raaaaank.... there's raaaannk...

[strange moon]

From rookie to legend

Ye

[graceful iron]

rookie/trainee/experienced ...

you can see your own rank in the pda statistics

[strange moon]

Ya

Me who found shit out without reading the manual: asks how to fix busy hands bug

[brave hemlock]

ok, I'm a professional. Does my rank also affect the complexity of the enemies that spawn around me? I started noticing harder battles everywhere.

[tidal raft]

A bit, yes. It's mostly influenced by the area you are currently in though.

[brave hemlock]

Is Yantar a good place for a semi-permanent base?

[graceful iron]

doing missions for all the ecologists/loners/clearsky that could be wandering around there and having a trader that asks for mutant parts or artefacts as quests while having a few easy artefact hunting areas around and a box inside the bunker to use as a stash. yes it does sound like a nice base

[brave hemlock]

perfect, thanks

[graceful iron]

i think ald has something to add?

[tidal raft]

Nah, it was pretty much that.

If you are friendly with Duty you can set up in Rostok since Navigator in the Bar can guide you to Yantar for 2,000.

A bit more centralised.

[graceful iron]

you mean use rostok? it is a really good place and probably better than most southern areas with how much you can do from there

[tidal raft]

Thanks, my brain's getting tired.

[graceful iron]

sleep?

[tidal raft]

A little later. I'm going to do some chores first.

[brave hemlock]

ok, so I made my folks stay in Bog, then I travelled to Cordon, and their helth bars became grey. Then I did the safari quest and after I completed it, my followers' health became green again. But they haven't appeared anywhere. I went back to the Bog, and their hp became grey again. Then I went back to Cordon and their hp is green. But I don't see them anywhere. What should I do now?

oh, here they are. they've just.... appeared after I asked them to stay and then go

we're good 🙂

[graceful iron]

companions are really weird and buggy sometimes especially with area transitions

[desert robin]

Regarding the accouncement - I can't see that 1.6 is even available, am i missing something?

[graceful iron]

you are probably confused, they released a change log for 1.5.2 and said that this version just has small fixes and some small content till 1.6 is ready for release

[desert robin]

nvm think i skim read and missed info

yeah all g

[distant kettle]

Hey guys

So

What's the deal with artefacts?

Can't sell them?

I've got like 6 of them

[graceful iron]

#│📚manual you have to empower them to be able to sell them or use them (they are more expensive and much more powerful in gamma but they start at a low condition)

artefact melter, artefacts reinvention

[distant kettle]

Ohh nice

Thank you for the information

[shut gale]

Is there a way to make the Svarogdisplay brighter?

[desert robin]

Apparently thers a thing that when your save reaches 65285 ID's your save breaks...

I'm at 40248 😦

For the sake of preventing this occurring, if it's even still a thing, maybe loot should be reduced, like ammo and animal parts etc? idk..

If anyone with a really big playthrough save time can check an item ID of an item they just picked up recently and see if it's over that amount id be interested to know

That's about another dynamic mutant addon, but was an intersting thing i didnt know about

[graceful iron]

why do i still have a 44 day save with 4 stashes filled with 1k+ kg of loot and its not broken ? i dont think gamma has that problem so its probably just something with the mod or the mods themselves (the comment is referring to)

[drowsy girder]

maybe it's not the items but npcs (stalkers, mutants etc)?

because i'm fairly certain i had playthroughs where my backpacks were filled with more than enough stuff to reach that 65285 mark

but even then the game will clear the IDs when they become obsolete (npc dies, id gets deleted) so i don't see how you could reach that mark

[graceful iron]

as i said, it could be a fault within the mods mentioned in the comment

[drowsy girder]

oh i thought by "mod" they meant anomaly itself

[graceful iron]

no i mean the mods he is talking about here

[distant kettle]

Is there any way to turn off artefact degradation?

Artefact melter is very weak

[lapis silo]

How do you mean? That artifacts spawn with little durability? You can uncheck "GAMMA Artefacts Reinvention" in MO2 for that

[lapis silo]

it works the same for every artifact, it just has to be reloaded with other artifacts so you can craft and empower them

[distant kettle]

I tried that to no avail

There are bugs I guess

[lapis silo]

Any artifacts you have will keep their durability, only the new ones you find will be at 100%

[distant kettle]

I mean the game crash on startup

[lapis silo]

Yeah, you will have to start a new game, just thought of that

It shouldn't crash on startup though, only when loading your save

Just tested, it works on a new save

[willow hawk]

Nope... Use the Grizzly for bright display

[frigid lotus]

Are the bugs for the Duty Quest mod fixed? If so, how?

[lapis silo]

I think you can best ask the creator of the mod, or check moddb for the changelog

[frigid lotus]

Ah, I meant that the mod is added to RC2 and was wondering how it can work without the bugs.

[lapis silo]

Is this what you are looking for? Changelog and known issues list from moddb

[frigid lotus]

Yeah, it showed the known issues but it seems that Grok fixed that in RC2 somehow.

[lapis silo]

I am not in the loop for RC2, so I can't answer that, sorry

[frigid lotus]

No problem. Thanks.

[rotund moss]

anybody else gets "forced to look" at the mutant you just skinned? Like your Cam swings back at it and you can fight all you want it will force you back to the mutant to look at it. after its done, like the mutant is in the centre of the screen you can go your marry way as if nothing happened. I noticed that in other mod packs and its usually not a problem, but for some reason i forgor its also a thing in gamma and it got me curios what the cause could be.

[split copper]

are you sure there is gonna be event when i hand over jupiter docs to degtaryev after some time ? still no message from him

[willow hawk]

FDDA as fucking usual

[blissful tree]

Didn't got that one in a long ass time

I think I got it once in Provak's.

[rotund moss]

i should have figured by now

[unkempt flower]

Is Semenov Research Hunt quest from ecologist line bugged? I have hunted about 7-10 different mutant groups with him but he still lingers with me and does not do anything after the hunt. Would like to get rid of him at this point tbh.

[sour urchin]

yea FDDA is great but holy moly can it be buggy and this is coming from a long time "its not a bug its a feature" Fallout/Skyrim player

had 3 softlocks today using the backpack opening animation

[brisk zinc]

It's disabled for a reason, don't use it

(of course if you wanna use it, do it)

[sour urchin]

yea i thought itd be nice to try but after today prob gonna have to can it

kind of a shame

didnt grok make a mod that was muffled voice actor lines when the gas mask was on? dont recall seeing it in GAMMA but didnt look too hard

[brisk zinc]

First time I hear something like this

[sour urchin]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/voiced-actor-30-russian-voice

maybe my audio levels are off ill fiddle with them

[brisk zinc]

There is this one but I don't know if it's the same

No it can't be the same one, I don't have that muffled sound

[sour urchin]

yea i thought something was off

maybe there was a conflict

or some something to that effect

[brisk zinc]

I'm adding it, let's see how it goes

[sour urchin]

do alterations to ZCP values only come into effect on new saves?

[brisk zinc]

I don't know about that but I can confirm that now I have muffled sounds

[sour urchin]

prob didnt it for either performance/.stability i guess or just cause..idk i dont wanna assume

wierdest thing is its literally the same pack just trimmed down so dunno

guess we'll have to ask him

[lapis silo]

You have to save and reload, then it will take effect

[sour urchin]

guess the ones involving zombies are a bit wonky

they dont drop armor even though i got it set in both gameplay options outfit condi drops

[brisk zinc]

Is there a way to check/change how long it takes to get a new quest from a trader?

[dapper shadow]

Hi guys, I want to install G.A.M.M.A. but I have a question. Considering I have a portable instance of ModOrganizer 2 for Fallout 4 and 3 global instances for FO New Vegas, Tale of two wastelands and Skyrim, what are the problems I could encounter installing G.A.M.M.A.?

[brisk zinc]

@sour urchin okay so, I've compared what we have in GAMMA vs what you send here, they're basically the same
The problem is the position, it's up there because it overwrite files, this is why the sound isn't muffled
I guess it's safe to just move it down below

[blissful iron]

How feasible is it for me to avoid downloading the heavy (in size) graphic mods to save bandwidth? Are patches deeply tied in that will cause issues? Can I just substitute some of the early 1.51 graphic mods I have painfully downloaded instead (mostly AI upscale textures)? This whole download process will cost me about 96 hours of whoring the little bandwidth I have. Shaving a day or two off it would be swell. Thanks regardless.

[lost breach]

pretty sure that theres a laser on my weapon. is it possible to turn it on?

[acoustic shale]

Anyone got any advice on handling random freezing lasting a few seconds? Doesnt happen on base anomaly but happens here and is frustrating.

Running dx10 avx

[brave hemlock]

that happens to me every time power supply is not enough.

[acoustic shale]

Graphics preset medium with anisotropic filtering turned off and grass density being lowered too

[brave hemlock]

and on my laptop it's not enough when I use a third party power, only the original power supply, oddly enough. And I can see that from the charging indicator. The freezes will cause battery to slowly lose charge...

[acoustic shale]

I doubt its that. Im running on a desktop pc and i know psu is fine

[willow hawk]

Does it happen on new save ? Warfare ?

[acoustic shale]

New saves story mode with no warfare

[brave hemlock]

hey hey folks! where is that stash? I'm having a hard time finding it...

uh found it. under the train

[clever hound]

How many HP THESE FUCKS have ?!

I've used half of my inventory and yet, not even a scratch

[brave hemlock]

you should use AP rounds

Folks, this. That place has no anomalies but the pointer on the minimap points down. Is there an underground there? I'm a bit confused

also, the whole wild territory is very strange. It doesn't seem to have any monsters. I only killed like five mercs and that's it...

omfg, what I just saw! Look at that! See that black thing? IT MOVES!

Pseudogeist it's called. I shot it and it ran. odd.

how does that monster work? what does it do?

[brave hemlock]

ok, folks, this is confusing. I don't know how to do this quest:

I'm standing right there. there are no mutants. Alive.

[zealous bone]

just had an unreal firefight in garbage and my game crashed :/

also how do i make my game more colorful its very grey and difficult to see

[brave hemlock]

when I right click locations like these, nothing happens, there's no prompt to fast travel. But I still can fast travel to nearby locations. Why is that?

[brisk zinc]

This is the first time I see this quest, I suppose you need to use a device?

[brisk zinc]

Maybe you need to use debug mode

Try to deactivate "Areas" inside PDA

[brave hemlock]

it's not only there, it's everywhere

What does the color of the star indicate?

[mighty condor]

star indicates squad leader

colours, good question, i just noticed the red one

[brave hemlock]

I suspect it means "I'm a pussy, I won't fight, keep that in mind"

[vocal gulch]

So ammo crafting maybe quite a feasible thing i think

[topaz sentinel]

Hello, I'm sorry if this has been answred previously. Where can I find expert tools? I have not found any so far, yet I found ton of advanced and basic.

[topaz sentinel]

Ammo crafting in gamma is amazing.

[sour urchin]

so what settings for zombies+mutant spawns are typically good to run with? i remember fiddling with zombie spawns and it would just have 5 in a pack that would just stand randomly and seem out of place (zombified stalkers i mean

[vocal gulch]

Same not found them and currently have 5 basics :/

[delicate wharf]

expert kits only in the north starting with red forest

[vocal gulch]

ye thanks for that, ill have to go there

who sells 18.5mm barrels ?

game starts but after the shader loads, it nukes itself

[warped ginkgo]

did you install any addon on top of gamma?

i think it's caused by a icon override, im not sure

[wooden nest]

no, i have 5 mods in my downloads folder. i was just about to use them

okay, ill go and check

[graceful iron]

colors indicate factions

[graceful iron]

you have to kill a mutant(i assume its probably already dead since it was walking in the fire anomalies) and then pick up an item on the ground

[brave hemlock]

weeeelllll... what do I do now that neither the mutant nor the item is there? How do I console spawn it?

[mighty pike]

Does anybody know why?

[graceful iron]

its a tracking device, not sure if spawning it in from debug would work

[graceful iron]

never seen this happen before

[mighty pike]

I just killed them all, clear sky weak

But it’s strange right

As soon as I’m part of their faction they turn on me

[graceful iron]

base gamma story mode?

[mighty pike]

Yes

Launched through anomaly launcher

Not DX11

Don’t know if that matters though

[wooden nest]

hey, i disabled the maid's icon something something and it works like a charm. thank you so much, been trying to figure this out since last night. its 7:09 here now lol. bout to quit and just play WT. thanks again!

[graceful iron]

launched the anomaly launcher through mo2?

[graceful iron]

you need to disable some icons mods if you want to use maids icons mod

gamma icons

maids icons is optional

[mighty pike]

Correct

[wooden nest]

thanks, but i think i will be sticking to the gamma default icons.

[mighty pike]

I’ll try updating GAMMA

See if that helps

[mighty pike]

okay so now I have doubles of a lot of mods instead

[graceful iron]

different versions

uncheck the older ones and move them to end of loader

[mighty pike]

oh okay

[graceful iron]

the numbers in the name are the versions

[mighty pike]

easy enough

so keep the 37 then

[graceful iron]

yes

check the other sections as well, just in case there are other duplicates

[mighty pike]

Did that, i have 246 activated, but no duplicates. All the optional are active so that might be the reason

[graceful iron]

default optionals

[mighty pike]

Let’s see if clear sky are gonna be bad to me

[graceful iron]

dont enable all optionals, some of them conflict

[mighty pike]

Oh ok

[graceful iron]

how many addons active?

also make sure all of these are disabled

[mighty pike]

Yeah no, the game crashed instantly with all those optional

a

S*

[graceful iron]

only enable these ones for now, you can pick one of the icon mods if you want but if you use maid's you will have to disable the gamma icons

[mighty pike]

Nope, still getting shot to pieces as soon as I join clear sky

[graceful iron]

just tested, not getting shot at

[mighty pike]

So strange

[graceful iron]

how many active mods do you have in mo2?

[vocal gulch]

assuming i need expert tools for the last row then

[graceful iron]

yes

[mighty pike]

237

[graceful iron]

that should be correct so its not a mod list issue

[mighty pike]

There are some conflicting files though, no red crosses, just a text saying overwrite at the lowest point of load order

[graceful iron]

idk what this is for but its definitely not to do with conflicts, i dont think so at least

[mighty pike]

Me neither

[brisk zinc]

@graceful iron maybe you have the answer

[graceful iron]

it seems to take a day after you finish the last quest you took from him

wait, change?

i actually dont know, since i never seen an option to change it in the game settings its probably through the files

[brisk zinc]

Guess I'll wait then, thanks

[graceful iron]

if it gets close you are probably instantly dead, depends on if its feeling like murdering you in cold blood or not

[graceful iron]

you said you played metro librarians in metro are really tanky and almost cant be killed (lore wise) you can try killing them but they will tank, a lot (same with these i mean)

[vocal gulch]

saiga12 mags, are they purchasable ?

also, are the standard saiga12 mags tweakable with tools?

[graceful iron]

tweakable ? to do what?

[vocal gulch]

no idea what can be done to mags speed to reload .. dunno

[graceful iron]

nope, mags can be tweaked to load a different caliber and its only some specific ones

[vocal gulch]

ty, what about purchasing the s12 mags ?

[graceful iron]

i have no idea, you should ask someone who plays with mags or grok if he changed anything with the trader inventories for mags(you could also check the trader files to look for mags)

[vocal gulch]

hmm no idea where to start to look in the files xD

ty anyway

[graceful iron]

search here

couldnt find anything myself, maybe i am just looking for the wrong files

[vocal gulch]

ty anyway

[graceful iron]

you can test with debug, raise a traders level and refresh his inventory to see if saiga mags appear

it would probably be a WP faction so duty/loners/bandits/military

[brave hemlock]

ok, there are severe problems with skinning/butchering. Sometimes after I'm done, the camera keeps trying to focus on the body. Sometimes, if someone pushes me a little bit when I start butchering, then I lose control over the character, nothing works, but the butchering animation never starts and I'm just stuck like that. I can't even load, or exit to menu. I have to alt+f4 the game and start over

can we get rid of the butchering animation completely?

[graceful iron]

press ] to disable item animations

will also disable skinning animation

[brave hemlock]

woooooo

pretty cool, tghanks

[graceful iron]

also thats most likely the busy hands being caused by fdda or something else breaking the event manager apparently

[brave hemlock]

I mean, I like the item and the butchering animations, they are better than anything I've seen before. Well, maybe except Doom eternal animations.

disabling item animations didn't disable butchering animation

[graceful iron]

wait huh?

is it added by fdda ?

i thought i was fairly certain disabling item animations disables skinning animation

[zealous bone]

why are there heli patrols when i have them unchecked?

[graceful iron]

did you have them checked before?

[zealous bone]

ya :/

[graceful iron]

unchecking it wont remove them

not in the save where they already spawned

[zealous bone]

bruh

im gettin pounded by this thing

[graceful iron]

https://tenor.com/view/elmo-shrug-不造-i-dont-know-gif-5094560

i think you just have to destroy it once so it wont spawn again

[zealous bone]

will a wellplaced sks shot do the trick

[graceful iron]

no, it has a health bar so you can shoot it till it goes down or use a rpg

[zealous bone]

also why am i always hungry

ive eaten like 3 cans of meat

[graceful iron]

you are not eating enough probably, also using medical items can make you really hungry. always check the hunger bar in your inventory to see if you have eaten enough

[brisk zinc]

@brave hemlock disable it from the option as well

Only ] isn't enough

[graceful iron]

there is a skinning animations option?

[brisk zinc]

Yes, ] disable only some animations

[graceful iron]

in mcm?

[brisk zinc]

Yes

[graceful iron]

i know that, just thought it also disabled the skinning animation

[brisk zinc]

Nope

Gotta do it manually

[graceful iron]

[vocal gulch]

so I need to kill this dude, assuming its the one in black. Whats the best way without being detected? He wont move from that spot

[graceful iron]

in anomaly i think you can just use a timed IED but i think in gamma something makes them detect that, you can save and try see if it works

[zealous bone]

ight yo so i go from cordon to garbage and theres a fucking chimera there right as i load in...

[graceful iron]

and?

[zealous bone]

im dead

[acoustic shale]

is there any easy or consistent way to get parts above 60 early game? Genuinely struggling to even get a mosin repaired

[graceful iron]

you can check mechanics inventories, sometimes they sell weapon parts but i think its randomized? i didnt check if thats the case

also once you craft the repair kit that the mosin uses you can just right click on the gun and maintain parts and replace the part that needs replacements

will consume one use from the repair kit

[acoustic shale]

I forgot qbout that actually thx. I should check what i need as i mever use crafting

[graceful iron]

crafting is a lot more viable in gamma, you have all recipes unlocked and you only need to get tool kits to make progress

[acoustic shale]

Also cat your right. I just reloaded a save and the mechanics inventory is completely different. He even has a barrel he didnt before

[graceful iron]

i thought it was randomized everyday

well thats a somewhat abuseable mechanic

[acoustic shale]

It may be because it was the first time i checked(?) I had a save at northern farm at a campfire before i talked to xenotech for the first time and thats what i reloaded after checking what i needed

[graceful iron]

its not a big deal i guess

[graceful iron]

reloading a save does not seem to change the parts being sold, also it seems that the type of parts is determined by the faction of the mechanic (WP/NATO)

they get more parts when you give them toolkits for their missions and they start selling other repair items as well

[acoustic shale]

Noted. I guess what i saw was a glitch then? Doesnt really matter in the end

[acoustic shale]

Anyone know which addon is resposible for making it so you have to wait to sleep in rc 1?

[graceful iron]

immersive sleep and sleep balance addons

[acoustic shale]

Thx. Are they save game safe?

[graceful iron]

you can use vodka or sleeping pills to sleep

[acoustic shale]

To disable*

[graceful iron]

yes they should be save safe

[acoustic shale]

Thx again cat

[strange python]

is there a way to reenable zombies with guns? I have not seen any and am assuming they were removed?

[graceful iron]

in the mcm for zcp just enable zombified in the stalkers section, but apparently when they are enabled using zcp they spawn everywhere and too many of them(without this they still spawn at their bases in AA complex in jupiter and the sawmill in zaton)

[willow hawk]

And they are quite boring tbh

[strange python]

ahh I see, I wont touch it then incase. They were a good source of basic items

The settings for blowouts and psy storms - if I set them to zombify, does that actually make zombies appear? I can see that there is a death report, is this just for immersion?

[willow hawk]

It's just for immersion yes

[strange python]

thought so, I like it though!

[graceful iron]

it will zombify some stalkers in your area i think and only the random patrols that actually run for cover (some stalkers just dont care because in their code they are just immune and set to guard a certain area or patrol it)

[static lake]

will cleaning a gun from a mechanic also repair it's internal parts?

[graceful iron]

no

[static lake]

Good. I'm glad I can't just cheeze it with a mechanic repair.
Another one tho. Do post-heals only apply when your at full health?

[blissful tree]

Post-heals apply when the yellow bar is up in the certain hurt section. You must use a medicine with post heal while that is still up.

[static lake]

Ohh. Gotcha

[mighty pike]

what to do if reinstalling can't be done?

[graceful iron]

apparently this mod is not important

[mighty pike]

Oh ok

[willow hawk]

Yeah its not important because GAMMA files erase it

[delicate sand]

Guys, what's the best nato rifle in your opinion?

[tiny sable]

Guys, how do I reset faction relations or manually correct data? Where are relations data stores?

[delicate sand]

game_relations.ltx

you can take one from the unpacked folder or change mine and then install it as mod

[tiny sable]

Thanks a lot!

[blissful tree]

Any rifle that uses 7.62x51.

For NATO.

[tiny sable]

And another little question: is it possible to deactivate "Open Zone" mode, or somehow delete all the secret and unfound routes?

[lapis silo]

Deactivate "Accessible Zone" when creating a new game. It is a vanilla option

You will have to buy the info to unlock new routes though

[tiny sable]

Aw, I mean, already in game. Just dont wanna loose my progress

[lapis silo]

I think you can use debug to unlock all area transitions

[tiny sable]

For activation

But not for deactivation 🙂

[lapis silo]

What

[tiny sable]

See, I have a save with 20h of gameplay

And I want turn off Accessible Zone

[lapis silo]

Oh okay, that is not possible

[tiny sable]

Gah

[lapis silo]

[tiny sable]

So... I have just installed it. Nothing changed in my save. What am I doing wrong?

[delicate sand]

oh I forgot to tell you, it needs a new game

[tiny sable]

Gah

[delicate sand]

You can't change relations on an existing save

Or you can, but idk how

[tiny sable]

[shut gale]

After update i can´t see the task location before accepting the Qest. Is this new?

[lapis silo]

No, some of the tasks just dont have the preview thing. This is one of them. Why, I have no idea

[shut gale]

no money

[blissful tree]

How long you've been playing for? You may need to restart the game.

[shut gale]

after reload erverything is normal

[lapis silo]

X-Ray

[mellow canopy]

It's no big deal the information are cheap. 8000 par path. And you can find pdas that open up to 2 or 3 path for free.

[sour urchin]

yea i know that i was trying to figure how to use the bat artifact from the perk artifacts mod

[real cove]

Silly question.....can I change the max carry weight?

[delicate sand]

Yes

[brave hemlock]

Trying to replace the bolt, but to no avail. The message says I did it, the durability gets reduced, but no bolt

and I can't shoot it either

[real cove]

Slider only goes to 50, how can I set it to say 5000 if I wanted to?

[delicate sand]

I don't know that exactly, but you can change backpacks carry weights or added weight from armour for example

[real cove]

Oh yep, I know about that. In previous Stalker games you could edit actor.ltx and system.ltx to adjust the max_weight, doesn't work with the GAMMA modpack

[delicate sand]

You can easily change additional_inventory_weight lines in mod_system_g_a_m_m_a_no_integrated_helmets_in_armors

thats GAMMA armors no integrated helmets mod

[real cove]

Oki doki! I'll try that thanks Laydane 👍

Guys, how can I pick trader level with console command? Or raise it other ways. After my manipulations with factions level rolled back to 1...

• little bonus, this is how to change relations INGAME:

[brave hemlock]

zok folks, that dude is right in the middle of an anomaly:

how do I move him safely?

ok, is there a hotkey to take all?

folks?

[wooden nest]

i just yeet a grenade to move dead bodies away from anomalies

don't use frag nade tho

[brave hemlock]

I see, I used frag. good to know

because using a simple stick is too complex for the game

[wooden nest]

well, a stick would probably break anyways.

tried it once and it didn't work

[brave hemlock]

did you try using a fishing hook?

[wooden nest]

ah, no... line can't pull a 60+ kg dead body

[brave hemlock]

or a stick made of artefacts. How about that!

ha! gotcha!

[wooden nest]

sounds unpractical but you could

[brave hemlock]

I still wonder about the bolt replacement issue. I encountered the same issue with another gun now where it says that the bolt has been replaced, but it hasn't.

[brisk zinc]

Shift + T

[brisk zinc]

You need to use a repair kit or something like that, you can't replace it "by hand"

When you have the kit inside your inventory, right click on the weapon, "maintain X", click on it

@vocal gulch asked (and I second this question because it's useful):
"any possible way to allow us to use the field stripping while in the inventory of a lootable npc/box/our storage? rather than take the item to our inventory, close box, open inventory and then use it ?"

[vocal gulch]

thanks, lol i totally forgot what i asked there xD

[brisk zinc]

You asked this but in the wrong channel

[brisk zinc]

@willow hawk this is basically for you, you're the creator of everything

[brave hemlock]

I can replace everything by hand except the bolt?

and I still get a message saying I'm fine, even though I'm not?

[brave hemlock]

to that question, I add that it would be nice to also unload the weapon and detach all attached silencers/scopes/etc on field strip all

[warm reef]

hello, Is it normal that I can't give tools to Spleen in Skadovsk ?

[brave hemlock]

happened to me once too. only once. I reloaded the game and it worked.

[brisk zinc]

Technically, and I could be wrong, you can't replace anything by hand

Am I wrong?

[brave hemlock]

I replaced everything by hand, except the bolt. Well and the barrel

barrel aren't supposed to be replaced by hand. but everything else is

[warm reef]

Ok I'll try that

[brisk zinc]

Okay you can do it, I remembered wrongly

[brave hemlock]

how could you rememeber it wrongly? How do you replace stuff?

is there a better way? I'm all for it

[brisk zinc]

Because to answer to everyone in here I need to remember the 90% of the feature GAMMA have, it's difficult

Now you've reminded me that it is actually possible to do this

Keep in mind though that doing it "by hand" will reduce the condition of your gun

[brave hemlock]

yes, it does

[brisk zinc]

(at least it should be, I remember this)

Perfect

[brave hemlock]

which is fine, but it doesn't replace the bolt!

so, the message says I replaced it, the durability reduced, but the bolt isn't replaced

very odd.

I don't have the army tools to do it properly, so I have to do it by hand

[brisk zinc]

Like I said before, you need to use a specific tool to replace parts without worsen the gun condition
Right click on the weapon, "details" if I'm not wrong, scroll down, you'll see the specific tool you need for that specific gun

[brave hemlock]

ye, ye, that I know

[brisk zinc]

Sound like a bug to me but I could be wrong

I need to test it (and even then I don't know if it's possible)

The barrel (I think) it's impossible to replace it by hand, for that you need to use a repair tool

[brave hemlock]

but that may be anomaly bug rather than this modpack

[brisk zinc]

Likewise you can't strip out a barrel from a gun, you need to dismantle the whole thing

[brave hemlock]

ye

[mellow canopy]

How do you succeed the "scanning field" mission in Zaton? I "use" the scanner, it drops on the ground and nothing happens

[brisk zinc]

@brave hemlock you can replace the bolt by hand, I can confirm it works, maybe it's bugged for you

[brave hemlock]

I know you can. but I have troubles with that very particular gun

[brisk zinc]

Maybe you need to leave it there for a bit, I don't remember that mission now

[brave hemlock]

can you try it with that gun?

[brisk zinc]

Send me a pic of the gun and the bolt so I can quickly search for them in debug menu

[brave hemlock]

here it is

[mellow canopy]

Bolt carrier and Bolt are different parts

[mellow canopy]

Thanks I'll try

[brisk zinc]

That's true as well

[mellow canopy]

And according to the screenshot, you replaced the bolt carrier

[brave hemlock]

THAAAAAAAAANKS!

I don't know enough about guns, sorry about that

[mellow canopy]

I was confused at first too

Guess I'll try that ecologist mission later, I tried searching for it with the search feature but no one asked !

[brisk zinc]

@brave hemlock and it works even for me

[mellow canopy]

COOL !

[brisk zinc]

So it was just simple confusion, perfect, another thing worked it out

[brave hemlock]

yes, sorry about that

[wooden nest]

what did i screw now?

[brisk zinc]

Send the whole log in #old-bugs

[mellow canopy]

I crashed soon after. Restarted the game and as soon as I tried the mission again, it worked.

I crash a lot since going north

But it worked it out by itself

[wooden nest]

okay, should i copy it?

[brisk zinc]

[brisk zinc]

Just send the file

[mellow canopy]

I just wonder why I keep on getting busy hands. It started to increase when I went past Red Forest.

[mellow canopy]

Thanks a lot ! I don't use mags redux but I unchecked both boxes in FDDA !

No worries, fingers crossed it works for you

[brave hemlock]

ok, this is retarded

the fucking chimeras

if that lame shit touches you once, you're dead

you slow down like a cretin and that's it

just cuz you slow down, it kills you

so one bloody hit is really what it takes

[graceful iron]

get better rupture resistance

[brave hemlock]

you know what, it would be cool if your followers could revive you with the first aid kit

[brisk zinc]

It would be cool but you're asking too much from a 2009 game with a 2005 engine

[brave hemlock]

this is what I'm using:

[brisk zinc]

Chimeras are hard, it's normal that they kick your ass

[brave hemlock]

ok

fair enough.

[brisk zinc]

But you start to find them much later north

If you find them in southern parts of the map, that's ZCP

[brave hemlock]

well I'm in a truck park. and there were two of them: the black and the regular one together. So tight space, makes it harder to dodge

[brisk zinc]

And when you go in the northern parts of the map, that means that you have good gear

[brisk zinc]

Truck Cemetery? That's already north

[brave hemlock]

ye

well I've had quests here, so that's that

[brisk zinc]

Again it could be ZCP as well

[brave hemlock]

ah, yes, that one

[brisk zinc]

Quests not related to story are basically random when it comes to spots (I think)

You can have Sidorovich in Cordon that ask you to go to Limansk and kill a Monolith

[brave hemlock]

and I also really enjoy just running into any action I hear. That's a lot of fun

any gunshots, and I'm there

heh

[graceful iron]

well then dont complain about a chimera tearing you apart then you kind of asking for it

[brave hemlock]

ahahahah

yeah I do 🙂

yesterday I had to destroy a bandit camp. I threw a grenade in their fire pit. Daaaamn that was fun. They didn't have the time to stand up. 5 dead and one got shot a bit later

[last igloo]

I am having trouble with the artifact hunters questline. I am searching X18 and around the entrance and I cant find anything. It says to look for documents but where?

Thanks guys!

[brave hemlock]

it may be on a different level

try going up and down the lab, using the elevator shaft

[lapis silo]

It may be bugged, I had it in my playthrough as well. The documents also have no icon

I searched for them for 30min or so and ended up using debug

[last igloo]

ok Thank you Ill try and look a bit longer and spawn if I have to

[narrow python]

The documents should be up the top of the stairs in the observation room. In the original stalker the door would close and fire anomaly would soawn

[graceful iron]

make sure you are holding f while looking for it, never know if you would miss it but its name popping up helps and also check if you havent yet

[last igloo]

Ya I have collect a ton of supplies from the area already searching everything with f tapping. I have emptied the entire x18 area inside and out and cant find anything document related.

[graceful iron]

did you check if you picked up an invisible item in your inventory already? maybe you didnt see it

[narrow python]

It could also be a bug where you need to leave the lab and then the mission updates

I had that as isg

[last igloo]

I just checked and I see nothing. Is it the dead forest document in the spawn menu that lacks an icon?

Also ive been in and out of the lab 3 times

[graceful iron]

@lapis silo ?

[last igloo]

discovered some psyzombies that scared the shit out of me haha

thought the place was empty

is there a specific spot to check? ive been inside the buildings, the cab for the towers, the trailers, the empty seacan, all the little outposts, etc

[lapis silo]

Yeah its called Dead Forest or something like that

[last igloo]

ok thanks. Ill spawn it in. I dont think theres anywhere left to check

[shut gale]

This red dot is huge.

Is it supposed to be that huge?

[brave hemlock]

how do we disable skinning animation? It's bugged.

[graceful iron]

falco already said its disabled through mcm

[brave hemlock]

how exactly is it disabled?

[graceful iron]

isnt there an option in mcm?

[brisk zinc]

What? Where? I never said it's disabled by default or something like that

[graceful iron]

no i mean you said it can be disabled in mcm

not by default

[brisk zinc]

Yeah I probably said that, it's true

[graceful iron]

[mellow canopy]

Hip gathered all sort of shitty loot because I enabled "loot". I can not manage it (except by killing her and looting it) and now 57kg are taken by this "ghost" loot. Any way to get rid of it?

[graceful iron]

debug and use the trade all command i think

[mellow canopy]

Ok i'll try

And last question for today : my artefacts' efficiency is ruined everytime i put them in my stash and back in my inventory. I guess it's a known issue. Any workaround?

And trade all does not work btw

[graceful iron]

its only the junk ones that reset, really dont know if there is a workaround for it but grok said he will be doing some changes to them

[mellow canopy]

Oh I see

junk ones are just fuel anyway

[graceful iron]

are there any other commands to do with inventory ?

[graceful iron]

some of them can be useful to some extent

[strong ice]

@brisk zinc earlier you mentioned something about cooking food. Which cooking "kit" is the best do you think? The army Kettle? or the Multi fuel stove?

[graceful iron]

there are tiers of mutant meat, multifuel stove can cook all of them and has infinite uses but is limited by the costs of the liquid fuel

if you just started you can just use the field cooking kit since its just really common

it really depends on what you have access to

[strong ice]

so it's intrinsically better to always cook the highest tier food you can?

[graceful iron]

yes, the purified tier

[strong ice]

So cost effectiveness wise, if I had to choose between selling an army kettle, or selling a Multi fuel stove, which one would be a better choice to keep?

[graceful iron]

a lot of fuel types can be looted from stalkers and stashes so make sure to get those

[strong ice]

cause I found both

[graceful iron]

i think you should always keep a multifuel stove around for when you finally have enough fuel to use it

[brisk zinc]

The purified tier is the best but in early game you'll need to rely on the field cooking kit and when you'll make money, on the army kettle

The multifuel stove is very useful but like okay_cat said, the "problem" is the fuel, either you find it or you need to buy it

[strong ice]

The thing I'm not 100% sure about, is for raw value/cost, wouldn't MRE's be better?

cause it's like what, 12000 to buy the Ukranian MRE which as like 8 uses or something

[graceful iron]

MRE s dont give you 10 IRL minute buffs and you dont get it from random loot

[strong ice]

whereas it's about the same it seems to buy fuel

[brisk zinc]

You make more money selling mutant parts than meat

Also, cooked meat gives you WAY more "full belly time" than MREs + buffs

[strong ice]

Buffs?

like WoW buffs?

[graceful iron]

purified meals give buffs like resistances, bleeding control and health recovery

[strong ice]

so like Fallout 4 cooking buffs?

[brisk zinc]

• they fill your stomach for much longer

[strong ice]

how does the fill your stomach mechanic work? is it just based off of Kcals?

[brisk zinc]

I've used to consume MREs like there wasn't a tomorrow, now I've decided to give cooking a chance, I'm never going back

[graceful iron]

you find cooking items in stalker loot so you dont always have to buy the items, so in the end its more cost effective

[brisk zinc]

It's very useful

And it's free, basically

[strong ice]

what if I find an MRE, would you say it's better to eat said MRE, or sell it?

[graceful iron]

you cant find MREs

[strong ice]

quest rewards

[graceful iron]

only from courier quests

not very common

[brisk zinc]

Also, you'll get to a point where you'll have so much cooked meat that you won't know how to use it

This because the zone is full of mutants = basically free meat

[graceful iron]

if it can keep you fed i guess you can use it, but i doubt you will go doing random courier quests to hope for a MRE instead of just cooking your own food

[brisk zinc]

• they really fill your stomach for much longer than MREs

[strong ice]

Well yeah, but it's like if I happen to come across one right? cause I have gotten them as quest rewards in prior playthroughs.

[graceful iron]

a single use from MRE gives 300 something k cal

[brisk zinc]

And it's slow as hell to use

[strong ice]

true.

[graceful iron]

a lot of mid-high tier cooked foods give 400-600 k cals

[brisk zinc]

• buffs (if purified)

[strong ice]

how heavy is the cooked meat?

are we talking like I have to dedicate 30KG to hauling food+fuel+stove around?

[graceful iron]

i think most of them are 0.1 kg? i cant get the exact number at the top of my head right now

dont haul them around, keep them in a stash and only cook when you are out

[brisk zinc]

IIRC they're not heavy, you can carry around 10 of them just fine

[graceful iron]

keep some food on you

[brisk zinc]

Once you get enough materials you can craft a bigger backpack

(or you can change some parameters to give you more weight)

[graceful iron]

multifuel stove and its fuels are heavy but thats why you keep them in a stash at base and only use them to cook when you have some meat and you need to carry some extra food

[strong ice]

Gotcha

[graceful iron]

you will end up finding a lot of vodka, keep that in a stash as well since its used for purified versions of foods

[brisk zinc]

Since one cooked meat keep you filled for so long, you don't need to bring them with you

[strong ice]

What about using drugs? will cooked meat help counteract the hunger effect of popping Ibuprofen?

[graceful iron]

not really, but you can easily eat after you pop an ibuprofen since it takes less time than a MRE

[brisk zinc]

True that

[strong ice]

lmao true enough

and now, the most important question, are the games of Blackjack rigged at all?

[graceful iron]

not really, just RNG

[strong ice]

very good

[brisk zinc]

Needless to say that if you want to make money, a simple F5 (and lot of luck) will help you

[graceful iron]

[strong ice]

Condoning the Save scum??? 😮

[brisk zinc]

It's a single player game, you can do whatever you want

#cancelled

[brisk zinc]

We even have the debug menu, for all we care you could just spawn the best armor in the game (if there is one)

[strong ice]

Speaking of debug, I couldn't get it to work earlier when I was trying to test the radiation to see if I was insane or not

[brisk zinc]

Do this:

1. Open your MO2
2. Launch the game through Anomaly Launcher
3. Tick Debug Mode
4. Launch the game from there
5. In the main menu, check on the bottom left, if you have this (look the pic), you can close the game and play with your preferred DX

[strong ice]

I launched anomaly through the install folder when I ticked debug mode, Maybe that's the problem?

[brisk zinc]

Do it directly from MO2

[strong ice]

Okay, I just did it now, and it's still 'Ticked' but it wasn't enabled in game...

[brisk zinc]

Hmmm

Try to save it

[strong ice]

That's what I did last time, it was already ticked when I opened it via Mo2

I re-saved it just to be sure this time

[brisk zinc]

And still no debug? Even now?

[strong ice]

Relaunching now to check

[brisk zinc]

Okay

[strong ice]

nothing

no debug

[brisk zinc]

[strong ice]

is it because I'm launching using DX11 AVX?

[brisk zinc]

@graceful iron am I doing something wrong here?

[brisk zinc]

You need to launch Anomaly Launcher and tick it there

And you need to launch the game FROM Anomaly Launcher as well

[strong ice]

Ahhhh I see,

[brisk zinc]

THEN, after you make sure that debug mode is there, you can close the game AND THEN you can play the game with DX11

[graceful iron]

you have to launch the game at least once after checking debug mode

[strong ice]

I see, rigg3d

[brisk zinc]

It's even written in here...

[strong ice]

Big F

What if we blame it on translation error instead of being my fault for not reading the message correctly

that way I don't have to take the L >:3

[brisk zinc]

For debug mode:

1. Open your MO2
2. Launch the game through Anomaly Launcher (first pic)
   2a) If it doesn't work, open the launcher from your Anomaly folder, not MO2
3. Tick Debug Mode and save settings by using the button (second and third pic)
4. Launch the game from that launcher
5. In the main menu, check on the bottom left, if you have this, you can close the game and play with your preferred DX (fourth pic)

#│📚manual artefacts reinvention changes the whole artefact system

[hollow apex]

@graceful iron Hi cat is the goldfish been nerfed? my friend say it used to provide 20+ kg but now only 7 kg.

[brisk zinc]

Probably it's because of the condition of the artifact

I'm not sure about it because I don't know if Grok managed to introduce this feature but it could be that

[acoustic shale]

Where do you find casings and bullets (as in the bullets for crafting into bullets that go bang)? I checked mechanics and regular traders already and i went to police my brass but there was nothing to pick up

[hollow apex]

you disassemble other ammo to get casing and stuff

[acoustic shale]

Ah thx. So its just trading ammo for ammo then huh?

[hollow apex]

there's overlapping material for ammo crafting, for example you can disassemble 7.62 and use that to craft Lapua

[acoustic shale]

Ah that makes sense. Ill have to fuck around tomorrow with it and see if i can find a way to get more 7.62x54 with what i got in my stash

[hollow apex]

yes pretty much all my ammo are handmade, saving money

[acoustic shale]

Oh btw obrezing our mosins when?

[hollow apex]

mosins? you can loot that pretty early on

[acoustic shale]

Its a joke. Obrez refers to a sawn off mosin basically. Its a thing in the gun community

This, i need it, now plz?

[hollow apex]

I know there's a tweak about balancing low condition artefacts, making them provide less weight, but I'm talking about goldfish at 98% condition actually,

[hollow apex]

this looks ridiculous and funny

[brisk zinc]

@willow hawk

[acoustic shale]

It is until you happen to shoot it irl. Then you realize youve made a terrible mistake.

[hollow apex]

because of the recoil?

and the aim must be terrible without the long barrel

[acoustic shale]

Yeah. The one i shot wasnt modernized so no foregrip or anything and i remember i shot it and just pain

[hollow apex]

amazing how you survived this

[acoustic shale]

I say that at least 4 times a year but yeah. The other thing i found out later is they can set shit on fire allegedly and i believe it with how insane the muzzle flash was

[fiery radish]

is it a feature that at the start none of the traders sell guns or armors? or are there some new separate traders? its really confusing to me since there's like gaps in listed items and it looks like the icons are just glitched

[blissful tree]

Feature.

[graceful iron]

it got nerfed yes, it was really abuseable (even at low condition it gave the full 20kg carry weight) grok just straight up gave it the base anomaly values back

[graceful iron]

its not a bug, grok changed carry weight values back to anomaly values since carry weight didnt change with artefact condition

[graceful iron]

check the #│📚manual , there is some useful explanations

[willow hawk]

yeah the carry weight isn't affected when leveling up...

[delicate sand]

Is it normal for the game to just close itself on entering meat grinder area in the Generators?

[fiery radish]

thank you!

[shut gale]

i give my companion a PKP because why not. So when he shoot the gun is losing condition. Do i need to maintain the gun or it doesn't matter?

[mellow canopy]

Genuine question, don't hate too much please. I have trouble finding any interest in artifacts compared to regular Stalker SoC and his 2 brothers. They are heavy and you need a heavy canister to use it. I'm OK with that. What I don't get is the following : apart fron the empty, which ones are actually useful?

What would justify the grind?

[graceful iron]

it will drop in condition and will jam sometimes but maintaining it is not really an option since it drops condition so fast when companions use it

[graceful iron]

volat emerald can allow you to literally walk through an anomaly field, compass is also a powerful ballistic one but with different stats than full empty and you can craft a gold fish if you didnt find one and just use it as it is for extra 7 kg of weight if its low condition enough it will only give 1msv per second and you can easily just have a radiation removing belt attachment. you can craft artefacts so just right click on the artefact melter and see what artefacts you can craft and their stats

[frigid lotus]

For some reason, the trader Cashier at the Laundromat isn't acting as one. Is it a bug?

[graceful iron]

acting as one as in?

cant trade with him?

[frigid lotus]

Yeah, he's not trader now, just an npc.

[graceful iron]

sometimes he moves around the laundromat

look around

are you sure you are looking at the right one?

Yup, even has the name Cashier.

Ohhh, and they start shooting if its on day time I guess. Thank you for the tip!

[lusty grotto]

Anyone have recommendations for the MCM for a higher-population set of settings with nastier mutant spawns that doesn't break the performance too badly?

I played with squad spawns and accidentally created mobs of 8-10 stalkers, so I figured I had messed up.

[delicate sand]

Hmm, is it intended to Heavy Pockets achievement to has 10 million as a requirement, not 1 m? In the description it still says 1m

Seems like Grok changed it in the GAMMA achievements balance to 10mil, just didn't change the description for some reason

[obsidian vortex]

How common is it that I get sniped by Monolith Master with Toz shotgun with buckshot from roughly 200-250 meters away with 3 succesful hits in a row? Is there anyway to reduce the enemies difficulty because Anomalys own settings dont seem to do a thing anymore

[acoustic shale]

It shouldn't be that bad especially if your wearing even mid tier armour as armour blocks buckshot really well. Try ramping up base enemy dispersion to the max

[obsidian vortex]

The settings dont seem to have any effect lol

The enemies are lazering with handguns and shotguns like john wick

Didnt see this behavior before gamma

[acoustic shale]

Are you sure you are moving the slider the right direction and dont have hardcore AI accuracy on? I'm looking through MCM now and see no options for accuracy outside of the base ones

[obsidian vortex]

No HC aim and the slider is all the way right

Try going into mcm and enabling balanced mutant spawns. I didnt realize it wasnt on by default then turned it on and now my chimera problem in rookie village is gone. This is rc 1 but may help

[obsidian vortex]

Okay thanks

[willow hawk]

How many days in the zone ?

[acoustic shale]

3

[willow hawk]

Wut

Did you change population or ZCP parameters ?

[acoustic shale]

I got them to go away after enabling balanced mutant spawn but no, before that i hadnt touched them

[willow hawk]

You didn't had the balanced spawns ?

[acoustic shale]

It wasnt on by defualt for some reason

[willow hawk]

Ok. With the balanced spawns it should be ok

[brisk zinc]

@willow hawk check this out

[brisk zinc]

Probably ZCP

[willow hawk]

True ... One more tiny fix to make

[brisk zinc]

ZCP

[brave hemlock]

controllers hit through trees?

damn that's so unfair

[brisk zinc]

They shouldn't, that sounds like bad luck

[brave hemlock]

grenades do magic 🙂

oh, by the way, yesterday I finished the brain fryer quest in Yantar.

On my way out, I had to go through the tunnel. At the end of the tunnel, there was a pseudogiant.

I wasted like 5 grenades and about 150 of 5.45 AP rounds.

on that one thing.

is there a better way of killing it?

[willow hawk]

HP ammo

[brave hemlock]

riiiiight

2 hits from a snork. The armor goes from 100% to 93. WTF??

[brisk zinc]

You wasted the wrong type of ammo

[wary dragon]

Hey I forgot how do I repair specific components of armor? I am familiar with guns but I have long been lazy with repairing my armor.

[brave hemlock]

I don't think there are specific components

folks, as my first playthrough, which faction should I join in what order for best results?

I'm having issues with armors

I couldn't find anything more expensive than my current armor, and it's really bad against tearing apart

[acoustic shale]

sewing thread I think?

[brisk zinc]

Are you a Loner?

[brave hemlock]

ye

[brisk zinc]

You can finish the game by remaining a Loner, for a first playthrough it's perfect

[acoustic shale]

As a general rule of thumb i learned from too much experimenting with mods whenever you dont know what repair kits are compatible with what right click then go to details. It list compatible stuff

[brisk zinc]

Right click on armor > Details

Or just go to any trader, hover on your armor and check what you can use

[brave hemlock]

eeeh, so I noticed that some factions have very cool items as quest rewards

I wonder if I can get even better stuff if I join them and do more quests?

so like a super detector that can only be obtained if I join Scientists

or a super hiking bag that I get for joining the clear sky

[brisk zinc]

We need @graceful iron here for those questions, I'm not that experienced

[brave hemlock]

So Hip is a special follower? I see some new dialogue options. How do they work?

also, is there more to her? Does she get beefier if I do her artefact quests?

[sour urchin]

if i wanted to completely uninstall WPO+ all its associated mods in my modlsit what files do i need to target? Anything with WPO in the name and im good?

[brave hemlock]

what is WPO? 🙂

[sour urchin]

weapon parts overhaul

the gun jamming/field stripping mod

[wary dragon]

Ah thanks!

Ah heyo Cth how's it going?

[graceful iron]

sewing thread and field armor kit

[graceful iron]

a lot of those quests you can do even as a neutral faction, you can do clear sky and ecologist missions as a loner just fine

[brave hemlock]

I noticed! So! What faction should I join then? Is there cool content somewhere behind joining a faction?

why would we even have an option to join otherwise

ok, I'll be blunt. I need a good armor that would cost above 70k. With slots for artefacts, and also heavy armor, so good protection against tearing and ballistic

I suspect Dolg.

I think Dolg will give me that at some point

buuuut...

finally fixed all my barrels. Daaaamn. What does a damaged barrel influence?

[graceful iron]

gun damage

[graceful iron]

you have gamma economy disabled ?

mercs and duty have the best woodland/forest battle suit exosuits

4 artefact slots upgraded and best in in exosuit class resistances

[brisk zinc]

Because you do that when you've finished at least once the game, since (like I said before) the Loner faction can do almost anything quest related

And that's because you're basically friend with everyone

[brave hemlock]

no, it's enabled

[graceful iron]

what is this then?

i thought you meant you wanted to have access to buying this ? i am getting confused

[brave hemlock]

I want it as a reward for a quest

[brisk zinc]

Main quests as well*

[brave hemlock]

like what clear sky does

clear sky gave me a bunch of armors for quests. Shitty armors.

[brisk zinc]

@graceful iron am I wrong or in early game those are very good?

[graceful iron]

good early game ones

[brave hemlock]

meh, I had a better one before I started

[graceful iron]

seriously why is every question you ask about gameplay filled with passive aggressive "i hate this game"

[brave hemlock]

not every. And not this game.

[acoustic shale]

Out of curiosity, besides the military and mercenary questlines and unisig is there any other questlines loners cant access?

[gentle tulip]

AFAIK only other quest where you get armour is during Hips questline Wastelander armour off the top of my head

[graceful iron]

its changed, the quest gives a basic tool kit since the wastelander is a very powerful early-mid game outfit

but the quest requires a toz 194 now instead of the bizon

which is much easier to get

[vocal gulch]

and does not need to be in working condition xD

[brisk zinc]

Bandits (and I add to this because it's obvious: )

[acoustic shale]

I didnt even know there was a bandits storyline. Damn theres alot in this pack

[brisk zinc]

@graceful iron is there one actually? I don't know

[graceful iron]

bandits dont have a special storyline sadly no

just regular quests

[brave hemlock]

is wastelander better than Nomad?

cuz I'm in Nomad now and I desperately need to replace it with a better option

[graceful iron]

wait, it was nomad that is given from the quest not wastelander no?

[brave hemlock]

lol

[north turret]

anybody else just keeps gets busy hands repeatidlly even after disabling the addons and then enabling them after a while, i just keep getting them and at this point i give up and just play without those addons, cant be in the outskirts and having campfire mode on and goinf through alot the shit to only then have the game just brakedown on you.

[torpid vale]

is this suppose to happen when updating? in the black section. all i am seeing is error going right down

also when i tried loading the bullets in their magz it wasnt doing so, i tried fast traveling and it wasnt doing so either... i tried traveling to a different area and it wasnt letting me. It just did the sequence but didnt actually bring me to the area.. any help would be greatly appreciated ty. HMU ASAP

[brisk zinc]

Read #old-how-to, you're clearly doing something you shouldn't do

Check also if you're not blocked on Moddb

[brisk zinc]

I suppose you're talking about MagsRedux? Is it checked in your mod list?

Traveling you mean fast travel?

[brave hemlock]

where do I find the key?

I killed every bandit in that base of theirs

looted them. no one had the key

[north turret]

bro go to sleep.

[brave hemlock]

lol

[torpid vale]

yea it is checked. The magz are their but i just cant fill them with rounds

[torpid vale]

i mean i've had this on my desktop from ever since and it usually worked so i dont know if that's the prob now. if that's the case where should i put it?

[torpid vale]

yea fast travel

[brave hemlock]

from time to time I'm getting a message saying "Time is up"

what is it about?

[trim bloom]

Did you pay to use a vice? It'll let you know when you no longer have access

[wise sparrow]

when this happens try to save by opening the console and using the save command. if the game crashes try to revert to an earlier save where this wasn't happening or in my experience there may be a bugged out task in your to-dos and you will want to load a working save and try to fast travel to that location and complete it. usually what happens to me is a kill quest for some bandits just ends up in the back of the wild territory where it's not supposed to be and xray just doesn't like that and breaks down.

[brave hemlock]

ahahah, makes sense 🙂 thanks

[trim bloom]

Tip, keep a toolkit in inventory and you don't really need a vice ever again

[north turret]

ok so i was in jupiter and my mission to eradicate some infedels and i killed all of them but it didnt say that the task has been updated and it stayed there, so i left at that and walked away and now that save has long gone, so idk that quest marker is still there any idea?

[wise sparrow]

i assume that's a monolith task and i haven't done a monolith playthough yet so i can't really help you there. the best advice i can give you is to just revert to an earlier save if you have one or find a working save and try and clear the tasks (if there are any that look suspect). just trying to give you a sanity check since sometimes mods will break but it has nothing to do with them and it's really just xray not doing what it's supposed to do.

[north turret]

the task was no deffrint from other faction missions, just kill everybody at this camp and come back for reward, but you there's this function in the debug called refresh game and i tried it couple of times but it sometimes just fkin killed all your missions in your pda only the main quest stays.

[brave hemlock]

wow, what's that Chubaka suit?

[north turret]

im not sure if i want to try it, becuase once inetiated there is no coming back to an older save

[brave hemlock]

so folks! Butchery-wise, are axes better? Maybe in terms of durability, or effectiveness?

I use a Hunter's knife and I have a Hunter's kit in the inventory to maximize the butchery effectiveness. In the config, I allowed usage of Hunter's kit from inv

how can I improve the efficiency even further?

Also I'd like to know how the skills work: how they get earned and what they influence.

[tidal raft]

That's already the optimal field dressing set-up.
Skills are earned passively. Check the description: https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/anomaly-skill-system

[gilded dagger]

hey guys does anyone know of a fix for gamma to work on windows 11? I really dont want to reset my pc and get 10 again

[willow hawk]

Just throw your weapon at it, like for real

[willow hawk]

You paid a vice and it's not usable

[brave hemlock]

neat!

[willow hawk]

Yes melee was revamped. Just try them

[wise sparrow]

Im using it on 11 without issue i had no idea it was even a problem

[drowsy girder]

i think some mods can cause an issue for whatever reason

[gilded dagger]

i have since figured it out with the help of someone in here i just had the mods out of the order in mo2 bc idk shit

[graceful iron]

i think its the installer script that runs into issues on win 11 not the mods themselves

[graceful iron]

you cant use axes to skin mutants but they are really powerful for melee damage so if you are going to run around with an axe as a melee weapon have a knife in your inventory to skin mutants

[strange moon]

The BaS axe is best

You can skin mutants with it and kill people aswell

[graceful iron]

the downrange something (i cant remember the full name)?

[strange moon]

Range is limited yes

It us the best melee in gamma rn lol

[brisk zinc]

It can lead to problems

[brisk zinc]

It wasn't letting you... how, exactly?

[midnight void]

Is it possible to attach the glowstick on the player? So you can use it while using a 2 handed weapo?

[graceful iron]

not with the current mod's system no

[midnight void]

Thanks for the answer

[brave hemlock]

The stuff in stashes should be of higher quality

makes no sense that everyone stores unusable armors and weapons.

[willow hawk]

You can throw them

[willow hawk]

Balance

[brave hemlock]

yeah

[graceful iron]

we back to unnecessary "this should be and that shouldnt be" ?

[brave hemlock]

so Balance > Realism

[willow hawk]

Getting 100% armors or guns would make the game too easy

[brave hemlock]

make it 80%

the 100% is a strawman argument

[graceful iron]

... but repairing that is too easy...

[brave hemlock]

60? 🙂

[graceful iron]

[willow hawk]

Same

[rapid fractal]

hey grok

[willow hawk]

It's broken or it's usable that's it

[brisk zinc]

@graceful iron who pays the best in this situation? Butcher? Or should I go in Yantar for stuff like this?

[willow hawk]

[rapid fractal]

when we getting the VR mod for anomaly

[graceful iron]

butcher pays the most for mutant parts and meat when selling, asks for belts and meats for quests while ecologists will buy the snork mask( since butcher does not buy it) and will ask for common and rare mutant parts for quests

[brisk zinc]

I'll stick with Butcher then, thanks

[brave hemlock]

who's the butcher? I'm selling all my extra mutant parts to Sakharov.

I compared the price for meat that Sakharov pays and the dude nearby who sells food. Sakharov pays a lot more

[acoustic shale]

Guy in charge of the hunting lodge in the train depot in garbage

[graceful iron]

butcher is the trader in the garbage depot

[brave hemlock]

ooooho

Iiiinteresting, thanks

[brisk zinc]

Here

[acoustic shale]

Had something interesting happen and i just wanna check it isnt q bug or i didnt mess up something. Balanced spawns are on but i got a controller in dark valley. Is that normal?

[graceful iron]

was it one?

the description of the setting says there will be less mutants south so if its just one then i would guess its normal

[acoustic shale]

1 by itself but there was 2 packs. One by the northern garbage entrance and one in the southern half by a stash on a hill

[graceful iron]

balanced spawns is disabled by default in gamma(i am not sure but i think grok didnt intend that) so for the most part you are testing something a lot of players here didnt even have enabled. my point is i really dont know if thats intended or not but i think the best way to know is either test it or ask the mod author i guess

its zcp 1.4 thats in gamma but with a special preset to try and balance it a bit

[acoustic shale]

Alright. Sorry didnt realize. I dont mind because a lone controller isnt that hard and the loot was worth the minute it took to shank it but was just curious

[brave hemlock]

I keep thinking of it as a potential online experience

fallout 69 style

this would work better than fallout 76

[acoustic shale]

I believe back when stalker 2 was first being designed way back in the early 2010's there was supposed to be online stuff but it was scrapped early.

[brave hemlock]

yes, people tend to underestimate the amount of effort that has to be put into a game to make it playable mmo

[graceful iron]

when even stalker 2's idea and actual development started ?i thought it was much more recent

[acoustic shale]

I may be smoking crack. Let me look but i remember reading something like that

[graceful iron]

multiplayer in general is apparently a huge task, and with the general idea of the original stalker games idk how multiplayer even fits in

[wise sparrow]

clear sky had multiplayer

[graceful iron]

wasnt it just an arcade arena shooter ?

sorry i am kind of ignorant to most of that(i have no clue i only heard of that multiplayer)

[acoustic shale]

Okay so i checked. Originally stalker 2 was announced 2010 but was cancelled in 2012 according to wikipedia

[wise sparrow]

yeah it was a pvp arena style shooter

[graceful iron]

yea makes sense, i didnt know they had plans that far back but canceled and started again recently

[acoustic shale]

Also i may be wrong on the online thing come to think of it. I always get oblivion lost, nightmare world, and stalker 2 design docs confused cus i only know what i heard in passing

[acoustic shale]

Im glad they did tbh. I have a theory that if they kept releasing games like they were people would get sick of the stalker series and we wouldnt have the dedicated community we do now and the massive modding scene.

[willow hawk]

This won't come from me

[rotund moss]

i just remembered: who do i need to kill in chances to get a Ak 74 PMC or at least beards Ak 74? again - i usualy found them in a stash sooner or later but that isnt the case in this run so far

[willow hawk]

Loner, Renegade, Duty @rotund moss

[rotund moss]

so to the swamps i go

[willow hawk]

And sometimes Bandits but its very rare

[rotund moss]

also chances for functional weapon flashlights?

[brave hemlock]

ok, so the documents. Whom should I give the docs to if I'm a loner? I kinda aim for the best outcome for the zone

I'm thinking to give them to the barkeep

I would consider Sakharov, but he's a cunt that doesn't want to take one more step towards me

[rotund moss]

as far as i know you only get more money and maybe stuff if you bring them to the same person, unless you have an additional story quests addon installed, like the one in which Doc (the dude hiding in the great swamps) asks you to find stuff in all the labs

[graceful iron]

sakharov or clear sky since they give a decent bit of money and some nice belt attachment devices

[graceful iron]

its the vanilla anomaly extra docs that no one needs for quests as a loner, you can give them to major faction traders for money and some extra items "i found some old documents are you interested"

[brave hemlock]

do I need to join their faction tho?

[rotund moss]

yeah, thies documents are used in some addons with extra questlines, so unless you use one of thies just try to get the best money out of it

[graceful iron]

no

[rotund moss]

no? i still believe that goodwill gives better chances for the "extra stuff rolls" but thats just head cannon

[graceful iron]

oh i see what you mean

[brave hemlock]

goodwill? Isn't that me?

[graceful iron]

you might want to keep them if you plan on doing the additional storylines since they require them

[brave hemlock]

oh, there's an additional storyline

I don't need money, so I will keep the docs then. At which point can I start the additional storylines?

[rapid fractal]

@willow hawk lmaoo im just fuckin within u

[graceful iron]

some of them are from clear sky and you can do as anyone who is neutral to them and some of them are ecologists (idk if those ones require these specific docs)

[rapid fractal]

but with the way anomaly is i wouldnt be surprised if you got stuck in VR, xray engine

[graceful iron]

dont give it any ideas

[rapid fractal]

https://tenor.com/view/viralhog-grandma-dance-back-pack-dance-funny-the-floss-dance-gif-12380630

[rotund moss]

dude its barely has a consciousness as it is, dont feed it (the engine)

[brave hemlock]

The lost signal quests. Are they annoying? 🙂 I avoid them. I also avoid any "help stalker get from A to B" missions

I think they wouldn't worth the time

[graceful iron]

help stalker get from A to B can be useful and only take ones if you are headed in that direction anyways, its basically a free companion for the journey and money for it as well

lost signal ones, annoying very much

[rotund moss]

i usually do the the lost signal quests, sometimes you find nice stuff on the dead during thies missions, take stalker from A to B... i only do them if im heading into that direction anyway

but yeah lost signal can be annoying af

[graceful iron]

they dont even give a general area...

[rotund moss]

you gotta be zooming

[graceful iron]

"go through this whole map and find the bunch of dead guys who still emit a RF"

[rotund moss]

also they are usualy somewhere in like 3-5 areas (you get to know them after a while) from my experience

[willow hawk]

Not likely

[brave hemlock]

ok, folks, do we have a good manual on how to properly use the artefact melter?

like which artefacts are best to use and stuff

[rotund moss]

sadly thought so, we would have them by now ^^ thanks for the answer tho

[willow hawk]

For sure shader_cache is sentient

[graceful iron]

[willow hawk]

That shit needs to be erased every week so your game doesn't die

[strange moon]

Welp

I am remembering that

[rapid fractal]

imagine a chimera in VR

menace

[strange moon]

God no

[rapid fractal]

a violation

[rotund moss]

honestly in VR i would try to kiss a bloodsucker

[graceful iron]

heart attack simulator just got an upgrade

[rotund moss]

but yeah shader_cache is a different breed of non biological live

[rapid fractal]

itd be the best game ever

[strange moon]

Tbh imagine stalker VR

[graceful iron]

skynet....
