[strange moon]

Would be cool

[rotund moss]

"Into the Radius" plez dont ban me i interpretated this as the question "is there stalker VR?"

[rapid fractal]

i want my game to crash and i get stuck in the crash log

[graceful iron]

uhhh isnt that a literal stalker VR game ?

[rotund moss]

nervgear ftw

[brave hemlock]

like artefact empowering... does it work on perked artefacts? Does it actually improves the characteristics? Does it only improve the durability? I disabled durability for artefacts, so that's that.

[rotund moss]

it basicly is yes

[graceful iron]

just to be sure, you didnt disable artefact reinvention ? basically you want to aim for high anomalous protection and ballistic protection plus some rupture, #│📚manual has a full section about the artefacts system and the artefact melter

[brave hemlock]

I didn't disable the reinvention, no. Buuuuttt.... how do I deal with excess radiation?

[graceful iron]

radiation ?

[brave hemlock]

I thought there would be artefacts that consume radiation, but there's none

[graceful iron]

there is belt attachment devices

[rotund moss]

the Artifact application containers

[brave hemlock]

they reduce radiation only a bit.

[rotund moss]

they come in 3 flavors

[graceful iron]

oh you mean how to get rid of the radiation while using the artefacts ?

[rotund moss]

one up to 7msv one up to 12 and one up to i think 23

[brave hemlock]

those containers. Am I supposed to wear them while they're contained?

[rotund moss]

you put radioactive artifacts in them

and then you put that into your belt slot

[brave hemlock]

oooooh daaaamn

I thought the containers were to moving the artefacts around, like this:

[rotund moss]

thats the LLC Lead lined Containers

they are just for transport

[brave hemlock]

okay

[rotund moss]

you can craft them into the application containers tho

you need techscrap for that tho

[brave hemlock]

I see. Ok, another question. Artefacts contained like on the screenshot. Will they be available for use in the crafting menu?

[rotund moss]

sorry how do you mean that? i dont quite get it

[brave hemlock]

well see how I have about 10 contained artefacts? Will they be available for, say, artefact fusing?

[rotund moss]

no? you have to take the artifact out of the LLC

[brave hemlock]

damn

[rotund moss]

the whole thing with the LLC is to contain the artifact

[strange moon]

Da

[rotund moss]

anyway you can craft a LLC into an IAC (improvised application container) which is for artifacts up to 7msv/s, the IAC can be crafted into a AAC (Artifact application container) which is save to use up to 12msv/s and that one can be crafted into an AAM (artifact application module) which is save to use for artifacts up to 23msv/s also note that the higher the radiation protetion the heavier the container gets

[brave hemlock]

who sells resistors, capacitors and transistors?

[graceful iron]

you can buy them as old broken "junk" technical items from most traders but flea market in garbage sells the most

broken detectors, old head lamps and really anything with electronics in it even if its new but you dont need it

[rotund moss]

yeah as much as i shit on the flea market its a good sauce for spare parts actually

[graceful iron]

you can right click on items to see what they are made out of so what would they give when you disassemble them

[brave hemlock]

and I can just disassemble them?

[graceful iron]

yes

[brave hemlock]

thanks

[rotund moss]

yes pdas you find have depending on thier rarity a shitton of stuff in them

just fyi

[brave hemlock]

oooh

damn, so I shouldn't just sell them

[rotund moss]

make sure you read everything you can from them and take the batteries out before you take them appart tho

might never know which one of them has a purple stash for you

[graceful iron]

pdas are better be checked for stashes and then just deliver them for info, its money and stash locations. getting scrap is easy enough from other items anyways

[brave hemlock]

I didn't know you could read them

I always sold them

DAAAAMN

🙂

[graceful iron]

[rotund moss]

i agree but if you just miss that one bit and cant get it anywhere else

[graceful iron]

i guess

[brave hemlock]

I have this PDA that is... I can't do anything with it:

I can't give it away to traders for money either

[strange moon]

You have a quest for it perhaps?

[willow hawk]

Might be quest related

[brave hemlock]

maybe. ok. Another question. What things are safe to sell. Like, they can't be used for anything else.

Photo of a loved one?

[strange moon]

Can be sold

Personal items cant be sold

That is like the onliest kind of Item you CAN'T sell

[brave hemlock]

Radiation patches?

[strange moon]

You can sell em

But

[brave hemlock]

no quests for them?

[strange moon]

Lemme tell you, there is a lottery at the mercs

15-30 patches each gives you a reward

[strange moon]

Maybe at the bandits x3

[brave hemlock]

well don't you have to be friend with mercs?

I kinda kill them on sight. Well, more like they kill me on sight 🙂

[strange moon]

Nope

You don't have to

Just change the settings

Get a suit

And go ahead

Get some free loot for patches

[brave hemlock]

right. what settings do I change and where do I go?

and will this suit work?

[strange moon]

Definitely

Any suit works

You just gotta change the settings onto specifics

[graceful iron]

no need to change any settings grok already tweaked disguise system

[brave hemlock]

can I do the same to the military in Argoprom?

[strange moon]

by that i mean any suit of the faction

[strange moon]

Da

:3

[graceful iron]

just repair a merc suit and wear it while no one is watching you

[brave hemlock]

nice. Will they mind if I bring my followers with me?

[strange moon]

Nope

[brave hemlock]

nice

does it work with monolith too? And where is the mercs' base?

[strange moon]

The mercs when they see me: nothing sus going on over here, imma be gone

[graceful iron]

but be careful, your own faction will shoot you if they are enemies to the faction you disguised as

[strange moon]

Never

[graceful iron]

you cant disguise as a monolith

[brave hemlock]

huh

[graceful iron]

mercs base is in dead city

[strange moon]

Cuz lore

[brave hemlock]

right

[graceful iron]

you can cheese too many story quests with monolith disguise

[brave hemlock]

oh! I can even do quests?!

that's crazy

[graceful iron]

wut

[brave hemlock]

doesn't it mean that my reputation with them will start growing?

and soon enough, I can stop wearing disguise?

[rotund moss]

yes but your reputation with their enemies will go down

[graceful iron]

only if dynamic relations is enabled

[strange moon]

Yes

[brave hemlock]

dynamic relations meaning relations between factions changing overtime?

[strange moon]

Mhm

Exactly

[brave hemlock]

nah, that's too much work to keep track of

[graceful iron]

and with stalkers killed

[brave hemlock]

ok, final question. Say I'm wearing military disguise, I get into their base and I start shooting at them. How fast will they forget my offense and let me come back/

[graceful iron]

actually idk, you can use IEDs instead of shooting them tho

[brave hemlock]

what's IEDs?

oh, explosives

[graceful iron]

time an IED next to who you want to kill and move as far as possible

improvised explosive device

[brave hemlock]

but then I can kill anyone like that?

even in bar?

with no consequences?

[graceful iron]

they will start looking and you might start losing rep with friendly factions if you kill friendly stalkers

disguise will be discovered faster

[strange moon]

True

[brave hemlock]

faster? Disguise is discoverable?

[rotund moss]

yes

[brave hemlock]

ok, this is more confusing now

lol

[strange moon]

Not for me

It is realistic

[rotund moss]

depending on how you behave and how good the condition of your disguise is

[graceful iron]

if you disguise and go near stalkers, there will be a meter on the bottom of the screen telling you how suspicious they are starting to get

[brave hemlock]

so If I just walk around their base in their armor, they will find out even if I do nothing really? I just planned to raid the stashes there

oh, cool

ok, that's enough, I'm gonna go. You've prepared me enough folks, thanks a lot 🙂

ahahahah

[rotund moss]

imagine you are a guard at HQ, you know every of your factions stalkers by name

[graceful iron]

you can hide around a corner from their line of sight and wait for the meter to go down and then go back to getting the stashes

[rotund moss]

some weird dude comes in a suit that weirdly looks likes dimas

[brave hemlock]

one more thing tho. The skills. Level 15 is the max? Can I increase it to like 25?

is there cfg?

[graceful iron]

you can even trade with them or do the lottery if its the mercs just fine, just make sure to move away and hide for a few seconds every few minutes

[graceful iron]

skills are already broken at 15... idk how simple or complicated it would be to do that in the actual files since there is no options for it

[brave hemlock]

oh, I thought they used formulas rather than lame hardcoded values

[rotund moss]

strength level 15 lets you one shot most of the enemies in game with a good knife.... so yeah better its only level 15

[strange moon]

Ahahahahah
quietly kills them

[rotund moss]

like ma dude is level 6 in endurance right now and i can basicly run away from everyone and everything - you get what we talking about?

[brave hemlock]

yes... I was more for carry weight 🙂

I'm endurance 10 and it's pretty cool

[graceful iron]

you can change base carry weight value in gameplay settings

[brave hemlock]

oooh

nice

[graceful iron]

(its a vanilla feature btw )

[brave hemlock]

ah, it's already at max

lol

[graceful iron]

50?

how much are you carrying holy shit

[rotund moss]

hmm i sometimes end up with 3-5 artifacts that up my carry cap by 23kg each

on top of a big backpack

migrations

[brave hemlock]

yeah

my max is 120 kg atm and it feels pretty ok

with three followers

that act as trunks

lulz

what's the UNISG faction and can I disguise as them too?

[graceful iron]

apparently you cant disguise as them

[acoustic shale]

Western spys and alternative story line after you beat a questline

[graceful iron]

they are a faction that appears during the main story questline

[rotund moss]

everyone, his mom and her girlfriend will try to kill you anyway if you are UNISG

[graceful iron]

[acoustic shale]

So about that carry weight thing you know can create stashes to store stuff right? Just wanna check because thats alotta junk to carry around

[strange moon]

Same, with exo 150kg

Sometimes 160

[rotund moss]

o__O 170kg if i dont actualy try

sure a fly will penetrate my armor and kill me twice but

[acoustic shale]

I guess im weird. Im in a looted exo and my max is 87 (? Not looking at my inventory rn) and its rare im really pushing that cap on expeditions or stash looting runs unless im doubling back hit every anomaly in a few zones and carrying a ton of containers

Actually thats not true. I hit it once when i did another raid on the cordon a bit ago after i disassembled everything

[rotund moss]

i use frames, artifacts and upgrades that up my carry weight

at the cost of protection half of the time

i hate how the weight of the exo is counted into your carry weight since real exos basicly carry them self as long as they powered thats why i rarely use them other than to flex

[strange moon]

True

I think grok should fix that

Or maybe it is supposed to be like that

Idk, make it nore realistic

[rotund moss]

its made for balance

[strange moon]

Da

[rotund moss]

like upgraded weapons get heavier as well, even tho the upgrade tells you that you use lighter weight materials that are stronger

[acoustic shale]

I think part of that is the additional weight bonus of the outfit. Hence why when you use the looted exo which doesnt have the exo skeleton itself the weight of the armor is matched by the bonus carry weight

[strange moon]

Ye

It is

[rotund moss]

you using the exo suit or the skeleton?

most exo suits are give you basicly their weight as extra carry weight

[strange moon]

Exo skeleton gives more carry weight

[rotund moss]

while a skeleton usualy gives you around double its weight (after fully upgrading it) as extra carryweight

[acoustic shale]

Suits thats what im talking about. Im saying i think the skeleton already factors in the fact that it carries itself as the suits say they are like the skeletons without the actual skeleton bit

[strange moon]

Yes, yes

[acoustic shale]

I have no clue if im using the right words right now srry

[rotund moss]

why do i have to carry the 25-50kg of the skeleton on my body then?

i get what you trying to say tho

[acoustic shale]

Its simpler to program it that way im guessing. Like there probably a variable for every instance of the armour class that is called additional carry weight and its easier to change that rather then set up an entire boolean of like

if

Armourisequiped= true weight=0
else
weight =x.

This is my half asleep brain talking out my ass tho

[rotund moss]

im just of different opinion

[rotund moss]

makes sense

[brave hemlock]

you know what, after playing CDDA, it is pretty strange to me that Stalker never had antimeterial rifles and no .50 cal. Or am I wrong?

[acoustic shale]

12.7 is very close

Its been many many years and my brain is mush but i remeber being told they fill the same purpose and that the 12.7 is a tiny bit longer irl.

[brave hemlock]

you're correct. they're just european .50 basically

[acoustic shale]

So yeah, stalkers gotta a 50 kinda

[rotund moss]

anybody knows if i sent my backpack - i mean companion on patrol, will he get into cover in case of a blowout? i have to do sneaky shit and if i let him wait he will just die to the blowout that happens a few min after i changed locations, but with him he alerts everything within a 3kilometer radius

[desert robin]

Anyone know what the names of these NPC's are in Additional storylines? Searching their code i cant seem to find it...

Unless it's because that's their actual in game names

[brisk zinc]

I don't think they're that smart to get cover in that situation, because they're your companions in that moment, not just some generic NPCs with a specific routine

[acoustic shale]

Alternative solution is have him wait somewhere you know is cover. I had a situation in the cordon like that and i ended up using the j key to jump my companion to me then hit the wait here button and ignore combat

Ignore combat is important because ive seen those fuckers wonder out and sprint down a dog 100 meters away

[brisk zinc]

In RC2 there should be (if Grok added it) a mod that kinda solve this problem, if they get to far away because they absolutely need to chase that dog, after a specific amount of meters they come back to you

[acoustic shale]

Thats good. Im looking foward to see whats in rc 2 but im staying in 1 for now

[rotund moss]

yeah i scrammed him into sids bunker for now

on an other note

cant reach it, im already on low crouch

[brisk zinc]

Hmmm

Are you sure there isn't another way in?

You're in Dark Valley right?

[rotund moss]

swamps

[brisk zinc]

There is a place that looks like that

[rotund moss]

and no unless you can swim and dive in gamma there is no other way to it

[brisk zinc]

Do you have debug mode enabled?

If so, try hitting 0 on the numpad and try to "go there", left click is forward, right click is backward

[rotund moss]

its like a nade arm to the south of the maschine yard

[brisk zinc]

When you're there, spam F, maybe you can take it

[acoustic shale]

Honestly are those even worth much? Ive tracked them down then opened them and got like 60 bullets

[rotund moss]

did that for 5min ^^ thats why im asking

[brisk zinc]

The content inside should be random, so it's up to you

You can skip it

[brisk zinc]

I need to rule out everything

[rotund moss]

true you might run into somebody who has less active braincells then you have your self at the given moment

[brisk zinc]

You can't even teleport because you don't have a signal on the PDA

[rotund moss]

anyway looking at with via 0 revials that its only solid rock aroun dit

[brisk zinc]

Are you sure there isn't an alternative way to go in?

[rotund moss]

so i assume i will have to use demo record 1 cheat

[brisk zinc]

It doesn't look like a bugged spawn (like a stash I have that is literally out of bounds)

[brisk zinc]

Isn't that like 0? Free camera

[acoustic shale]

I doubt this will help much but i remeber in cop some stashes that were low were easier to get if you leaned

Maybe that will get you lower?

[rotund moss]

it does not spawn you to the point of your cam if you hit enter, as far as i know

[rotund moss]

im as low as it gets tho

[acoustic shale]

Last thing i can think of is hope it has physics and try to nade it but idk if they do or not

[rotund moss]

had to "cheat" also can confirm now that 0 is indeed the full extend of "demo record 1"

[vocal gulch]

when a mag is empty, am i missing something or is there a way so that we dont put the mag in our inventory. As in no longer in the ammo belt?

[rotund moss]

nade was out of question im fairly early in the run and have no way to fight the military at the maschine yard like 50m away from me

[brisk zinc]

demo_record 1 worked?

[rotund moss]

yeah it did

[brisk zinc]

I managed to get it with the teleport, just... wow

At this point I'll try it too

EDIT: today I learned that you can only take stuff with 0 or with demo_record 1, you can't search inside stashes

[rotund moss]

the system with which the mags work requires you to have 1 slot free if you dont want to have to reassine the mag to your loadout, since if you reload you have one mag in your weapon that is part of the loadout and the rest in the inventory, if you now reload you have one to many (unless you have a higher slot free) and it will delete the mag from you weapon from the loadout

note only from the loadout it will not physically disapear

[vocal gulch]

im 2/3 with 1 in the weapon

[rotund moss]

to be fair i had to press enter to get stuffed in the spot, you hitbox barely fits into it

without killing you

[vocal gulch]

once one is empty it gets put back in the bag and i have to keep ctrl clicking it to go back in the slot

[rotund moss]

or deleting the zone

[vocal gulch]

thats what im trying to find a way around

[rotund moss]

2 things:
1 sounds like shit broken
2 why do i appear to be the only one on the server who finds helmets before suits? xD

but you have the slots free so if the one mag in your gun is part of the loadout you should not have problems

on the other hand mags and ammo check crashed my game a few time (i call busy hands)

[brisk zinc]

3. if you disable it, your game will crash, because it gets stuck with your current save, so you either finish the whole game with it or start a new one without it

[acoustic shale]

Okay so now i got a problem. Came back to my save and now im running at like 5 fps in area that was fine when i saved despite changing literally nothing. Halp plz

[rotund moss]

either shit is happening or you have problem with the shader_cache

Monolith engine is kind of skynet at this point

[acoustic shale]

Alright say its shader, i just delete it then right?

[rotund moss]

i do that like every other day and my fps got more stable

[acoustic shale]

Wait wtf. Its fine now after i switched to windowed. Tf

[rotund moss]

kill it with fire

[brisk zinc]

Yes, it's a folder that every time gets recreated, you can delete it

[acoustic shale]

Alright. Yeah im just gonna delete the cache then to be safe even though its fine now. Fucking xray lol

[rotund moss]

to answer the question if they worth, kind of

they get better the more you get (at least it feels like it)

[acoustic shale]

Eh . Maybe ill try grabbing another and seeing whats up. I got one in wild territories to grab next which will be F U N

[rotund moss]

found a suit! hide your spare parts

okay for some reason backpack #1 died in the emission even tho he was basically sitting on sids lap

[brave hemlock]

folks, what are these for?

I don't see them used in any ammo recipes but I also can't move them to the storage

when I click move all, nothing happens

oh, these are just alternative bolts

I see

[brisk zinc]

Yes

[brisk zinc]

Because you have infinite bolts enabled

You can sell them or throw away

[brave hemlock]

thanks

[brave hemlock]

ok, I'm swaying after taking meds. what should I do to stop that annoying effect? there are no status effects except the +

oh, that's my overall hp. I need to take a stimpack I guess

no, it's not

damn

[acoustic shale]

Consumables with a sobering effect

[torpid vale]

#old-only-installer-support

[brave hemlock]

oh... I think I.... disassembled... my... pda.

[acoustic shale]

You can buy q new one at any general trader or assemble one with basic tools unless you have a prior save

So back to uncle sid you go

[brave hemlock]

army warehouses sounds are pretty scary at night

very tense

[torpid vale]

ok

[brisk zinc]

That's an add-on that isn't vital for GAMMA, don't worry about it

[torpid vale]

oh ok thanks

was worried

althou my game wont start but i'm getting it sorted out by slap happy

[brisk zinc]

Don't worry, now I'll check what's going on in install support

[brave hemlock]

lots of PDAs are saying ACCESS DENIED. What does it depend on?

I think there has to be a hacking skill

[brisk zinc]

You need a mechanic

[brave hemlock]

oooh

[brisk zinc]

Mechanics unlocks PDAs

[brave hemlock]

sorry

a question though. What is the best place to sell scopes, silencers and weapon parts?

oh, I see. The traders who buy all the crap, buy it with a large discount

like about 40%

crap

I disabled sleep deprivation, but I realize that I actually want it. Every time I enable it now, the game crashes

[supple basin]

My install no longer wants to start up, constantly getting the shader compile errors despite deleting the folder everytime, I have not added any mods to the load order, it was working fine till half an hour ago. There any way to fix this?

[graceful iron]

anomaly/bin and launch anomaly through one of the exes there, main menu and close the game and try launching it through mo2 again

after deleting shader cache if you have not already which is in anomaly/appdata

[solid berry]

Can you only find the heart of the oasis once and can it be given to ecologists as a quest item?

[lapis silo]

You can find it more than once and no, there is no quest for it afaik

Although its still missing in the tank in the bunker

[graceful iron]

you can craft it, and you can only find it once

[lapis silo]

Really? I found it twice, in the same location of course

[graceful iron]

it respawns ?

[lapis silo]

I was curious, so I checked again

[lapis silo]

Apparently

[graceful iron]

i did check multiple times before

never found it again

[lapis silo]

I dunno, my save is super old already, so it could be a bug

[graceful iron]

wait i never checked on gamma, only anomaly

maybe thats why?

[lapis silo]

Yeah, in Anomaly I only checked once, but I was curious if it spawns again because of artifact reinvention. And apparently it does, but only at like 10% durability

I can send a screenshot of my stash later, to proof it

[graceful iron]

you can craft it, and since it respawns empowering it is not as hard as i thought

no need to do that i do believe you i am just surprised

[lapis silo]

True, it is a powerful artifact, so it should be hard to get to 100%.

[static lake]

is there refill canteen feature in gamma or am I just tripping?

[lapis silo]

Nope, there is no feature like that in Gamma

[brisk zinc]

I've fucked up my keybinds (I'll never press "Reset" or "Default" again), what can I do to get them back to normal?

[lapis silo]

Its in D:\Games\GAMMA.Grok's Modpack Installer\G.A.M.M.A\modpack_patches\appdata

[brisk zinc]

Thank you ❤️

[lapis silo]

Anytime

[mellow canopy]

Hi guys, can we have both rc1 and rc2 installed? And is it worth starting a rc2 run now? Or better to wait for definite release (without duty girl quest for ex).

[brisk zinc]

1. No, because RC2 basically "absorb" RC1, it's a beta
2. If you want to test it and give feedback, yes, otherwise, stick with RC1

[mellow canopy]

Thanks @brisk zinc

[stoic tartan]

Does pseudogiant count as "armored" under balistic overhaul? Im asking because I dont remember him taking so many shotgun rounds in vanilla anomaly

[lapis silo]

If you are asking if you should use AP ammo, then no. HP ammo still does most damage, they are just stupidly tanky

They usually take 20-30 slugs from my Saiga. Headshots do a lot more damage, though

[tidal raft]

Aim for the face to deal most possible damage.
(Or use explosives if you want to spare your shotgun some durability.)

[stoic tartan]

Yeah, I know they are tanks, just it seems they have more hp/armor in this mod. But thanks for correcting me.

[tidal raft]

They are tougher in GAMMA, for sure.

[delicate sand]

3 good nades and you're good

[willow hawk]

AP and HP work similarly against them

Prefer explosives

Mines are doing wonders, they are cheap and very powerful

[strange python]

I know gatekeeper is a loner, but as a merc and being told to visit him should he be neutral?

[graceful iron]

disguise, the whole point of the merc main questline is "going undercover to get secrets from loners(strelok)"

[strange python]

no worries, just wanted to check something wasnt borked on my end

[proven lynx]

in my experience gate keeper is neutral anyway

[strange python]

Yeah I have played so much of both anomaly vanilla and gamma that they both merge in my mind after a while. Think anomaly vanilla he is neutral

[proven lynx]

he was neutral in my recent gamma run tho?

[strange python]

Maybe because I am at -4000 rep with loners? either way, infiltrated, got the mission done, then put a bullet in him

[proven lynx]

wait you can kill gatekeeper?

i think your games borked cause hes supposed to be invulnerable afaik

[rotund moss]

he actualy is like invisible until he is needed and stays invulnerable to at least the end of the monolith attack

even if he his godlike after that you can still put a bullet into his head and keep walking

[split copper]

i updated gamma and game keeps crashing, how to fix it ?

[strange moon]

Help i need to tweak light settings on DX8 how do i do it xd

[strange moon]

Anyone can help me make the game more lighter

[strange python]

type 'lumscale' into console

r2_sun_lumscale 3.
r2_sun_lumscale_amb 0.5
r2_sun_lumscale_hemi 1.

Think these are the normal settings

you can play around with them until you get the right lighting

[brave hemlock]

how does artefact efficiency work?

using this as an example:

does it mean that at 100% efficiency, it will do +10 radiation, +10 burn res, -10 phsy resistance and so on?

and also, can efficiency be more than 100%

[strange moon]

No it cannot go over 100%

[brave hemlock]

is Grizzly much better than Bear?

[strange moon]

Da but if you wanna keep leveling the detector i recommend you to keep bear

[strange moon]

Thank you

[brave hemlock]

I see

[brave hemlock]

so folks, how do I get to there?

I cleared the Monolith base on the left. I think. Maybe I left one or two monolith folks there. I'm doing it at night, so not very comfy

[brave hemlock]

thanks

should I expect 100500 controllers and pseudogiants once I switch it off?

[strange python]

also, next time it is easier if you go from limansk to red forest to antenna

No expect 100500 monolith

or army warehouse to red forest to antenna. You come from behind then

[brave hemlock]

next time? I will have to do it again? damn this was annoying

holy crap. it's a labyrinth and I have 5 minutes to find the switch?

I managed, but I only had 20 seconds left.

[vocal gulch]

So last time I asked about mags added to a loadout. at 2/3 in the armor slots, why is it when a mag is empty its put in the back but not still in the loadout? Constantly readding them at 0 is kinda annoying.. Any way to resolve this ?

[brave hemlock]

Is it possible to spawn an MRE? I'm fighting through 100500 of monolith but I'm hungry and they strangely enough have no food on them

[brisk zinc]

Debug mode

[brave hemlock]

how do I enable it?

[brisk zinc]

Read pins

[brave hemlock]

thanks

[brisk zinc]

Finally, I can avoid a question by pointing directly to them...

[hollow apex]

@brisk zinc Hi Falco my friend says when he dies he automatically returns back to faction base while losing most of the stuff he carried, I think he enabled the Azazel mode but he insists he's not. do you have any clues

[brisk zinc]

Hmmm

It could be Minecraft Respawn

Tell him to check if he have this on

[hollow apex]

omg thanks

yes he did...

[brisk zinc]

Tell your friend that he needs to check out what a mod does before enabling them... especially if they are in OPTIONALS.

[hollow apex]

yes absolutely...

[hollow apex]

and another question about artefact smelter, so if I'm playing as a Monolith or Sin, I can't get access to this feature can I? afaik the smelter only sold in Eco faction?

[brisk zinc]

Good question, we need @willow hawk on this

[brisk zinc]

You can always get one with debug mode, I don't know a legit way for those factions

Maybe you can disguise as someone else? That could be a good idea

[hollow apex]

yes, I was thinking about disguise, but judging from the actual effectiveness... I don't think I could make a successful shopping spree without getting myself killed

[supple basin]

mmm.. even launching it without MO2 doesn't work. Log shows a fatal error with a file called xr_ini.cpp, line 915, can't open string_table

Fixed, just somehow skipped over a thing in #│🔧troubleshooting

[brave hemlock]

can we craft expert tools?

[hollow apex]

nope

only adv. is craftable

[brave hemlock]

uuh... what is the earliest zone I can find it in?

[hollow apex]

try Zaton

or, if you are friendly with Mercs, their lotto usually give you expert tools

[vocal gulch]

are 9x19 vityaz mags sold anywhere?

[hollow apex]

don't know anything about Mags mods but traders in GAMMA has Warsaw and NATO factions too so maybe try Warsaw traders? I think it's in the #│📚manual

[vocal gulch]

ye

ty tho

[brave hemlock]

odd... I found a gun with no parts?

[hollow apex]

I think there's sth wrong with your mod list...

[brave hemlock]

I doubt it. It's the only weapon that doesn't have parts

[hollow apex]

but mine has... yes this AR-15 is my favorite

weird

[brave hemlock]

wow, it looks super cool

also, it shoots 🙂

[supple basin]

Now I am getting this error

* loading script utils_xml.script

stack trace:

Have copied the contents of gamma patches to my anomaly folder

no changes

[brave hemlock]

monolith.... Daaaamn...

[hollow apex]

how many mods have you activated?

[brave hemlock]

folks, what monsters have armor? Should I shoot them all with HP?

[hollow apex]

pretty much yes

or using Axe, surprisingly good

I bring axe almost all the time, one-shot those pesky zombies alike

[supple basin]

235 active mods, have disabled Agressor and the skybox redux mod and also added a performance textures mod which is loaded right after 25 - optimized graphics patcher

Launching the game directly without mods/mo2 also yields the same error

just reinstalled Anomaly, works fine now

[brave hemlock]

if I stop looting stashes in south, will it organically increase the chance of them appearing north where I loot them?

[hollow apex]

not necessary I think

[brave hemlock]

mechanic in the red forest can do all improves with no tools

[strange python]

is that a question or a statement?

[brave hemlock]

statement

also I found a gauss rifle there

awesome

[tidal raft]

Technically yes. Since you're filling all the slots where it should spawn, it would force the stash to find an available slot further north.

[brave hemlock]

perfect

exactly my thinking, I wasn't sure if a stash can spawn twice in one place

cuz that would ruin everything

[tidal raft]

I'm basing that off of my thousands of hours playing CoP, Misery, Anomaly, and GAMMA—and I've never seen a "double stacked" stash ever.

The only way that happens is if you take out one item from a stash (causing the marker to fade), leave it, and another marker appears on the same stash.

[brave hemlock]

yes, that's expected

another question. the gauss rifle already has 99% accuracy. Why would I invest in improvements of accuracy?

[tidal raft]

In older titles you'd improve damage when upgrading accuracy (along with precision, of course). Since that is no longer the case, the cap is 100% accuracy and anything above that is wasted potential.

[brave hemlock]

perfect

[brave hemlock]

will the saves from rc1 be compatible with rc2 and when do we expect rc2?

[tidal raft]

They are. I can personally confirm the compatibility.

when do we expect rc2?
When it is finished™️

[brisk zinc]

When it's finished™️

[strange python]

can I adjust the amount of flinch my character has when being shot? Tiny bit dumb when 1 pellet from a shotgun from 2 hills across does no damage to me yet my character flops around like a fish

[willow hawk]

Considering the heavy changes incoming, I guess "RC2" will actually be "RC3"

[strange python]

Star citizen Gamma? *

[willow hawk]

Well RC1 is completely playable, same with RC2 that has few more bugs

[strange python]

That is true. I apologize

[willow hawk]

RC3 will just introduce few other mods, fix some issues, smooth the installation process etc

#📎to-do is mostly a lot of tiny changes to smooth everything out

Doesn't change the core gameplay

[strange python]

You've done well 🙂

[willow hawk]

And if you play GAMMA without "abusing" anything, well you don't need the new fixes that are incoming...

[strange python]

is there any lore on the green phantoms?

Projections sorry

[tidal raft]

It's probably a product of C-Consciousness, but I'm probably the weakest when it comes to lore stuff.
They appeared with Anomaly, and I've never seen them in any main instalment previously. It might be cut content.

[supple basin]

and errors are back, deleting user.ltx makes me not crash but now I get shader compile error, deleting shader cache does nothing, launching game without mo2 works but once I try starting from MO2 it's back the the first error

[tidal raft]

Is it the same string error as before?

[supple basin]

Yup, user.ltx problem is that Dest string less than needed error

Once I get past that is the shader compilation error

[tidal raft]

It seems to be an Anomaly problem at its core.
Try nudging Searge at the Anomaly Discord.

[graceful iron]

only results i get from searching the error is a corrupted anomaly, idk if i am missing something

[tidal raft]

That's all I'm seeing as well. Most people "solved it" by making a new folder, download anomaly again, and transfer the saves.

[graceful iron]

also apparently deleting user ltx seems to fix it sometimes

[tidal raft]

As "sodium chloride™️" have done previously.

[graceful iron]

[tidal raft]

deleting user.ltx makes me not crash but now I get shader compile error
It's right there.

[supple basin]

Gonna try also deleting the gamedata folder first thing in the morning to see if something changes, so far I've only been purging the appdata folder

[graceful iron]

...

just re download and extract your anomaly folder

[static lake]

how do I cook purified food? I have a jerry can and vodka and near a fire and using the cooking kit but it says i still don't have liquid flamables

[graceful iron]

dont even mind what ever i say anymore i am just stupid

just make sure you are using the multifuel stove and have the right vodka, otherwise it could be a bug ?

[tidal raft]

Cooking kit is not enough. You need the multi-fuel stove.

Cooking kits only take charcoal.

[static lake]

ah

[rotund moss]

thank fully the multi fuel stove is not as heavy as a damn brickwall in gamma so you can carry it around with you

[tidal raft]

[calm tangle]

What is the mod that lets you zoom in with the mouse side-button?

Can't seem to find it in the MCM or keybindings. want to change the button.

[tidal raft]

Check the scripts in GAMMA Keybind Fixes.

[brave hemlock]

do you guys use handguns later in the game?

I'm thinking about having something like: an assault rifle for mid-range, a shotgun for close quarters combat and a gauss rifle for long-range sniping.

[tidal raft]

Not really. Unless you are really concerned about carry capacity.

If not—Shotgun, Rifle, and Sniper combo is the meta.

Some might say SMG instead of Shotgun, but none of their ammo penetrate higher than BR2.

[brave hemlock]

great

[brave hemlock]

how do you use exoskeletons? all the time? Or would you only use it when a tougher battle is anticipated?

also, how do you recharge the military batteries?

I like this gun, but why only 30 dmg?

[strange moon]

Batteries

You cant recharge the batteries

It gives a good ammount of carryweight

And well, about combat you have to see

[brave hemlock]

wdym?

[strange moon]

Depends on specs is what i mean

Which exo is it?

[brave hemlock]

Monolith

[strange moon]

Ah, i have the same one

Lol

[brave hemlock]

heh

[tidal raft]

Firearm statistics doesn't matter when calculating damage. Only the barrel condition and bullet type does. #│📚manual

[strange moon]

Well i prefer the exo for combat

And mainly travelling

[brave hemlock]

why would firearm stats be there then?

damn I love the stories stalkers tell to each other. Pretty damn cool creepypastas, lulz

[tidal raft]

Not this again... I'll respond at a later time.

[brave hemlock]

what does handling do? Just speeds up reloading, aiming, and switching animations?

[strange moon]

Aiming and speed of getting equipped weapon out

[brave hemlock]

and what about flatness? I haven't noticed that bullets' trajectory was not flat already

I always hit heads when I aim for them.

[strange moon]

Well, i can explain in one word

Bullet drop

Ok those are two but ye

[brave hemlock]

it doesn't drop, that's what I'm saying.

[strange moon]

Well what weapon?

[brave hemlock]

this baby:

[strange moon]

....i don't even wonder

[brave hemlock]

I know it's not meant as a sniper rifle, but It's the best that I've had

[strange moon]

80% is pretty good for a beginning tbh,

[brave hemlock]

yes, it didn't feel like 80%

I almost always hit where I aim

[strange moon]

Well what about 97% of accuracy

I have a sniper with that ammount

[brave hemlock]

that's the thing... I have a suspicion that sniper rifles aaaare.... overestimated in this game

I'm only gonna use gauss cuz of the cool sound

[strange moon]

Well their op

And the gauss is basically a sniper

Due to it being 100% accurate with a scope

[brave hemlock]

so, you know, I was thinking...

conventional firearms are made to kill people or typical animals

if there really were mutants, people would start making anti-monster weapons that would be way more powerful

[rotund moss]

we kind of did that IRL take a look at for example elephant guns

[brave hemlock]

yes, that would be nice to have, but also, I wonder why we don't have the DU rounds as a next generation of AP

and finally, Saiga. I found that it can do double firing, and when you upgrade it, even tripple firing. Does real Saiga do that?

[rotund moss]

real saiga is AK in 12gauge some AK based firearms have 2 and 3 tap trigger options so yes but no

also real Saiga come with fullauto at times

and Saiga has like idk how many modifications by now

IRL

[brave hemlock]

I just don't understand how you make two triggers with one barrel

I get the full auto though

but double and tripple firing does feel like double or tripple triggers

I thought double triggers could only exist in double-barreled weapons

and I haven't seen tripple triggers

[rotund moss]

oO what you a describing is not how firearms work tho

if its a semi automatic weapon that is

or even a full auto

like the 2 Shot setting allows you to fire 2 shots after each other with one trigger pull

they dont come out at the same time

you basicly get "BANG BANG" with one pull

[brave hemlock]

yes, but note how saiga works in the game. You can still shoot singles. But if you hold the mouse a bit longer, it shoots dobles

hence my idea of two trigers...

[rotund moss]

thats ingame and works with every setting since its not real live

[brave hemlock]

I see

so IRL you'll have to switch the firing mode

[rotund moss]

basicly yes

[brave hemlock]

yes, it makes sense then

[rotund moss]

in game i like to abuse the 3shot setting since if i only lovetap the trigger one shot (hopefully headshot) comes out, but if i mess up 2 shot will follow and mess what ever dude im shooting at up

BUT there are firearms IRL that have multiple triggers so i kind of understand your thinking, after i gave it a bit of thought my self

[brave hemlock]

ok, let's talk about the Ghillie suit

why is it so expensive? It doesn't have fascinating stats...

128k, almost no ballistic protection and only 1 slot, 2 if improved

[rotund moss]

it helps with disguising your self and makes it hard for NPCs to see you sneaking

[brave hemlock]

does it really?

I mean, does it really have a role in sneaking mechanic? I don't think sneaking has suits there as a variable

I know that it's supposed to be masking IRL, but not sure if it works in Anomaly

[rotund moss]

depending on the modpack (i didnt test the ghillie in gamma yet) but i saw streamers and youtubers wear one of theis and walk into an enemy base without any hassle

[brave hemlock]

interesting. They still had to sneak, keep their distance and no light?

[rotund moss]

after they did, what they needed to do, they walked out and startet to snipe everyone moving inside, without them being able to make them out

[brave hemlock]

did they snipe enemies with a silencer

[rotund moss]

helps a lot if you use darkness and most important distance into account yes

yep silenced Remington 700

[brave hemlock]

why remington? why not SVD or even just an LMG of some kind?

[rotund moss]

because he just had an Remington 700 fully upgraded and silenced at that time

my favorite sniper rifle is the DVL-10 Saboteur for example

[brave hemlock]

I haven't yet found it, but that's a good tip

for now, I found a barret, a few SVDs and a gauss

should try them all

I also found remington, but I think I got rid of it

oh, no, still have it

will try it too

[rotund moss]

it basicly doesnt really matter what weapon you use, i just have a weakness for integrated silencers for example

just make sure you are far enough away, most SVDs ingame have a problem of "bad scopes" for them

i assume that was why, he sniped them from the car wrecks on the west entrance to the bandit base

[strange moon]

Help

[rotund moss]

what happened?

[strange moon]

I am in lab x-18 and i cant find the goddamn code ;-;

[rotund moss]

go to the basement, there is a Giant and a ded professor

check your PDA because that the only hint you get ingame

if the Code does not work

[strange moon]

He had nothing

Bruh

[rotund moss]

chack YOUR PDA

BRUH!

[strange moon]

:/

[rotund moss]

messages to be exact

[strange moon]

Ok where is it?

[rotund moss]

messages in your PDA

you might have to scroll

basiclly the same shit like with the first door in X18

[strange moon]

Ah, i see it

Im just dumb

[rotund moss]

check your DMs btw, every time i wrote the Codes somewhere open ppl started to cry that they dont work since the corpses are also triggers or some shit

[brave hemlock]

so the mercs' base is in the Dead city? I'm gonna go try the patch game

[rotund moss]

yes its in dead city, the building north of the big place in the "middle" of the city

[brave hemlock]

how do I re-enable sleep in vanilla anomaly? GAMMA doesn't let me re-enable sleep.

it crashes

oh, damn, I have to load the game...

vanilla won't load GAMMA saves

crap

how do I re-enable sleep in files then?

[rotund moss]

im sadly not sure since i dont mess with sleep for a reason

[brave hemlock]

I tried disabling it cuz it didn't feel good. I thought disabling it would allow me to sleep whenever I want. No, it's the opposite: it doesn't let you sleep ever... so I can't skip nights

[rotund moss]

well you only have the setting under Options>Gameplay>Gameplay .diff>Sleep deprivation, which can be toggled - means if its on you will get tired if its off you will not get tired

in gamma you need to be tired to sleep in vanilla you dont

also to everybody who doesnt know it "sleeping pills" are a thing in anomaly

[rotund moss]

so he basicly fucked right? i saw that as "dont fuck your self in the knee"

[brisk zinc]

I'm pretty sure there is a way to disable the "sleep mod"

@brave hemlock since we're trying here...
This two are disabled?

Try to disable this as well

[brave hemlock]

wait, I just disabled it in settings

of the game

the mods are on

[brisk zinc]

It's better to delete stuff at the "root"

They're always there if you change your mind

This is also because it's not just one mod

There are several

And everyone have some dependencies

For example, the last one have those as well

[rotund moss]

and thies are working with some other mods as well

[brisk zinc]

Yes

[rotund moss]

yeah i remember why i didnt fuck with the sleep system

[brisk zinc]

It's basically because it's a pain in the ass to disable it, I'm sure there is a way but I don't know how

okay_cat is the mod master but I decided to regulate his sleep (how ironic)

[brave hemlock]

disabling it is not a problem. it's in the game config. Re-enabling it is a bitch

[rotund moss]

i did check "Radiationclicks only with Geiger counter in inventory" tho since its immersive, but useless since you start with a geiger counter in gamma

[rotund moss]

you allowed him to sleep?

[brisk zinc]

No he did it all by himself

[rotund moss]

impressive

[brisk zinc]

Just re-enable what you disable before, mods too

There's always the "clean install" that fixes everything

[brave hemlock]

never disabled any mods. When I re-enable sleep in the game menu, it crashes

clean install won't fix my settings.

I would have to abandon my save

[brisk zinc]

So in the end you touched sleep deprivation? That's the problem?

[strange python]

when I do the mortal sin quest to kill chern-dude before he makes a wish I have an issue where Rogue and Snitch both disappear from my squad and there is no follow up mission

once I kill the main guy

[rotund moss]

can you like start with mods disabled check sleep again since you somehow disabled it in the menu and save again, make mods active again? @brave hemlock

[rotund moss]

you sure they aint just ded?

like Scar just died 5 times to a single dog and i need that fucker to get the next mission

[strange python]

nah they are in my squad, I kill the main bad guy, get a new mission 'Choice', the screen flashes black and then they are gone

[brave hemlock]

exactly

[brave hemlock]

no I can't

[brisk zinc]

Well, I mean... you kinda brought it on yourself

[brave hemlock]

oooooooooooooooooooooooh 😦

right...

[brisk zinc]

And now I seriously don't know how to fix that

[brave hemlock]

I even remember reading it before and thinking: "why would I touch that"

[brisk zinc]

First time I see this issue as well

[strange python]

Meh, I'll just pretend that an emission happened and my merc was brainwashed or made a wish or something and start a new game

[brave hemlock]

well, it's still playable. I just have to play at night. I mostly just go artefact hunting at nights, hehe.

[brisk zinc]

Already tried with an older save?

Just to be sure

[brave hemlock]

an older save would most likely work, but it's WAY too old

I've been playing like this for quite a while.

[strange moon]

Thank you btq

Didnt mention it, still wantet to say it

[brave hemlock]

ok so one bar here:

does it mean that I have a lot of time or no time at all?

ah, I see. when I break boxes, it's +3 suspicion right away

[brisk zinc]

Yes

IIRC, more bars = more suspicion

[brave hemlock]

ye

[brisk zinc]

Keep also in mind that Hip, unfortunately, gets everyone alerted

[brave hemlock]

good point. I left her in Yantar

hip is a special follower. do I lose her if I do all quests?

[rotund moss]

you welcome

[brisk zinc]

Actually, the mod "He is with me" should "protect" her

[brisk zinc]

Don't know about that, never done her quest

[rotund moss]

Spoileralert for Hipsquestline:

||She will stay with you after her questline, no matter if you go with her to beard or bring "medicine" to Loki, or open the package and fail the quest||

[strange python]

So a new playthough. I have done Merc, UNISG, Loner. Was thinking Military or Doots or Freedumb. Do they all have the same story missions, just slight variations like with the Mercs?

[strange moon]

Duty is just

Mutant hunting mainly, plus mutant parts

Ecos

The ecos have a storyline

Should be interesting

:p

[strange python]

Hadn't considered ecos. I don't like that they are friendly with all but bandits and monolith though. May need to adjust the relations lol

[strange moon]

Lol

Do that

[rotund moss]

honestly being an Eco is not as chill as you might think

[strange moon]

True

[rotund moss]

the moment somebody shoots at you is... wakening

[strange moon]

Anomalies hurt qwq

[rotund moss]

life does as well .(

[strange moon]

[strange python]

Something I have not done is the mission to find artifacts. Is that a worthwhile set of misisons?

[strange moon]

It kinda is!

[strange python]

You have to find the eco guy who asks you to find artifacts etc

Boom. Egghead run

[strange moon]

Yes

Just three artifacts in three artifact fields

[rotund moss]

i do have to get back to the argoprom to finish the mission of the dude from the swamps

right after i found out what the fuck happend to the clear sky survivors and helping out strelok and destroying a cult and hunting for more scrap

[strange python]

I have not done that either. Thanks for reminding me. I get distracted and just start doing the main story every time

[rotund moss]

i end up NOT doing the story line and what happens while im distracted... well lock in loadouts section

[brave hemlock]

something's wrong... when I put this into the container, it becomes 100% efficiency:

every time I get it out of the container, it gets random efficiency

but in the container, it's 100% always

very odd

weird

those are containers I got from mercs for patches

I wish I also would get reputation with them for patches

[brisk zinc]

This is a known thing

Oh no wait, you're equipping it

[brisk zinc]

@willow hawk check this out, this is different from the "artefact in chest"

[brave hemlock]

well how do I go about it? do I just assume all my artefacts are 100% ?:)

[brisk zinc]

We need Grok on this

[brisk zinc]

?

[warped totem]

accident

[brave hemlock]

where do we get the gunpowder from?

[vocal gulch]

disassemble ammo

different types give different items

[soft leaf]

dude powder kegs should give gunpowder

they're useless

and weigh half a ton

[rotund moss]

they are described as an explosive with a mix of different (gun)powder and screws and nails and shit

you can use them to craft ammo after taking them apart in vanilla tho, since there you basicly only need ammo parts to craft ammo (not quite right but you get it)

[brave hemlock]

ok, I'm rebasing further north. gonna move my stuff from Yantar to Zaton

All these locations look super close to the original locations. Were they just imported as is and then improved?

[little current]

Question about the semenov mutant hunt, do the mutants have to be in yantar? because I killed all the mutants I could find in yantar and the quest is still not finished

[brave hemlock]

does sneaking work against mutants?

[rotund moss]

not sure i didnt come back south to do that quest yet

[rotund moss]

yes and no, Dogs will most likely smell and hear you. Psy-Mutants outright feel you, Chimeras are fucking Apex-Predators, every sort of Ghost has a big field in which it will notice you, flesh and boars do what they want - bloodsuckers have extremely good eyesight, i swear to god burers feel the vibration your footsteps make kilometers away from them and snork are kind of rapy

rule of thump: make as less noise as posibru, shooting without a silencer sounds awesome in this modpack - but also attracks everything outside the CNPP towards cordon if you shoot, which often gets you into "the whole zone and her mom tries to kill you" situations

also note that Mutants have relations upon each other, i think Anomaly uses the sets from CoP if memory serves. So Neutral towards each other mutants will form a hunting party from time to time

[static lake]

how do you increase supply for mechanics? I'm at minimal rep for loners and xenotech is still at lvl 1

[rotund moss]

do their "i need tools, fucker!" quests

they all start with normal tools into advanced into expert tools

you get a pretty useful achievement for the first time fully stacking a mech and he will get one supply level per quest done

note that you will need a full set of tools your self unless you craft where you stacked the mech, every toolkit you gave to him will be part of his workbench - if there is a medic around his base the Medical-Tool-Kit will be added to the workbench as well. Gunsmithing tools will have to be on you tho (you can sell the spare for good money tho, at the mech)

[vocal gulch]

also dont have the expert tool kit

thoughts on this AK 103? Personally I love the ammo type and that this can use a scope may be real sweet.. What say you?

[static lake]

there's magazines in gamma?

[rotund moss]

filter "Mags" in MO2 and check them to active

note that you wont have anymags beside the one in the gun if you reload a save like this

[static lake]

why do I need the normal and other tools again?
cuz I have a gunsmith set and I can repair gun parts and armors with that with the appropirate repair kit so why do I need tools myself?

[rotund moss]

103 is a great mid to early late game weapon, only problem i usually have with them is that the ammo is expensive

[vocal gulch]

tend to be finding quite a good number of that ammo tbh

[rotund moss]

to repair the actual parts of the weapons, in the RC1 version of Gamma you dont have to "care" about the parts of suits but note that that will change
but most important to fucking craft stuff - like the best Powersupplies for Exoscelletions are only optained by crafting, crafting new ammo is a really good way to save money through out the whole run and making your own meds is always great. Oh of course im talking about while you are out there in the Zone and not at the base with a blanket and a mug of hot chocolate @static lake

[vocal gulch]

but iv not really gone past 100 rads yet xD

ye im in rc2 atm

[rotund moss]

your weapon will jam if its "body" is at 100% but all its parts are broken

im talking to ambient atm ^^

[vocal gulch]

indeed ill patch it up, got all the bits for it

oooooooooooooh

rofl sorry

[rotund moss]

np my own fault to answer everyone while a snork is trying to eat my feet of steel

[vocal gulch]

lol

[static lake]

Yeah I've gotten that part down. To replace the barrel you need to use the gunsmith kit right? Along w a rep kit and a new barrel

[rotund moss]

you can use the gunsmithing tool to enter the crafting menu, after that you need the toolkit needed by the weapon and a fresh barrel

so yeah technical speaking you need the gunsmithing tool for that

but you can to that with every Tool-kit that brings you into the crafting menu, the right repair kits and the right spare parts

[static lake]

So i installed the mags mod and it seems to be working fine. Do traders sell mags or is it like weapons and you can only loot them?

[rotund moss]

i honestly didnt play gamma with mags till now and not sure

but since traders sell ammo i assume they also sell mags

[static lake]

I checked the two cordon traders, they didn't seem to have mags.

[rotund moss]

try to check them tomorrow ingame, if they still dont sell mags eject every mag you find in any weapon you find on any body you come across

also if you sell you surplus mags usually random stalker give you the best money for them

[brisk zinc]

@static lake
Just want to let you know that MagsRedux have a little issue, once you enable it and you start a game with it, you can't disable it

You can use it without worries, it's okay but you're stuck with it

So you either finish the game with it or you start a game WITHOUT it

[rotund moss]

ah ye, should have mentioned that shouldnt i?

[brisk zinc]

Yes

[static lake]

Ooop-well i enjoy the challenge anyway.

But it doesn't break when you enable it mid-game right?

[rotund moss]

sorry kind of figured since he asked for mags that he wants to play with mags anyway

[brisk zinc]

No it's not a problem

The only problem is that you can disable it

Once you have it, it's forever

[brisk zinc]

Don't worry you didn't do anything wrong, I appreciate your help
Thank you

[static lake]

Do traders sell mags tho?
I can't buy any in cordon.

[brisk zinc]

I don't know about that sorry, I don't like that mod
I think you can find them? So I guess stashes, dead people...

[rotund moss]

np mutants and anomalies cant do jack to me since im done with my loadout (for now) so tapping back to Discord if something moves on the 2nd monitor is no biggie

oh before i forget @static lake in case you are new to the body health system, first of all Grok did make a full overhaul to meds so make sure to study them a bit (they will be changed for RC2-3 but for now you should try to know what you need). Also even with full health if you Torsor (upper right bar in the Healthsystem to the lower left in your hud) is gone you die, same for the head (left upper bar) if any or both of or arms (both middle bars) go on a strike because of abuse : have fun aiming anything, if your legs (both lower bars) say bye bye ya cant run and sprinting will start to hurt and might even kill you since you loose health (the body in the middle of the system) the lowest bar is your stamina and the bar on top is your "will to live" aka mental health in case you are also new to psy attacks.
First Aid will give you a temporary (transparent) health for the bodyparts while postheal will fill up that temporary bar. Sleeping will heal a lot of limp damage but not so much health

oh and if you notice a bar filling up just a bit over your stamina bar: congratulations you are getting cancer so better take some anti rad

[static lake]

Yeah I've understood it a bit in the manual. I love it honestly. Half of the meds in the game aren't useless anymore XD

[rotund moss]

to be fair vanilla meds only did benefit loners with shit gear/early game

unless we are talking about morphine morphine made you a fucking tank

like rpg to the face kind of tank

[static lake]

I edited the body health a bit in the mcm a little tho. The critical effects for legs now only trigger at 0% but limping at 60%

Ok my character just said something while i was traveling across cordon. Creeped me tf out lmao

[rotund moss]

if that creeps you out already have fun with the Scar Artifact

ma dude made me shit my pants in Prom Underground because i did just reload my weapon and the mothertrucker ripped the fattest ass i ever heared in the zone

and since thats sound im not used to hearin in the zone i indeed got pretty spooked

oh it also opens your inventory at random sometimes drops your weapon (unless i fatfingered that) and makes you shot at random among other stuff i did not encounter after the fart

[nimble hamlet]

Unsure specifically but since you just installed, may have to wait for trader restock if not a fresh game

[frigid lotus]

Does Gamma also have the addon where you can add the titanium grid to backpack to improve carry weight?

[tidal raft]

Not sure what you mean. Titanium grid is an attachment to your outfit in GAMMA.

[frigid lotus]

Ah, that's something unique to EFP then.

[rotund moss]

yes as far as i know only EFP-Modpack uses the frames that way

so i found the CS dude i need to save from god knows what in Outskirts. Mothertrucker just sits besides a tree nothing dangerous in the area and he refuses to properly talk to me - what can or have i to do? just wait a bit longer until something comes and tries to kill him?

tis dude

[frigid lotus]

I think you're suppose to kill a Monolith team sent kill them.

[tidal raft]

Is it Last Dawn?

[rotund moss]

yes

[tidal raft]

Search nearby buildings.

[rotund moss]

and how do i tell the monolith team that they are supposed to attack?

[rotund moss]

you mean to find the dude or to find the dudes who should attack?

[tidal raft]

Find out what the danger is by searching nearby buildings.

[rotund moss]

okay only 2 of them near the marker anyway and i still have way to much .357 left

[frigid lotus]

BTW, is there a way to fix the knife spawning bug for Bas quick melee?

[rotund moss]

try to spawn the knife and not the animation

[tidal raft]

Don't use it.

[rotund moss]

and yes dont use it

gamma makes the most fun by earning your shit

but you do you

example see how the green text clear screams ANIMATION_HIT

dont spawn thies they are legit just animations

and you kind of get stuck in them

everything else getting stuck in animation/keyboard softlocked is busy hand you went to fast for to long and to many times

[willow hawk]

So, artefact get to 100% once it's in the container ?

[rotund moss]

found em 3 Monolith rookies/trainees honestly kind of disappointed about their gear xD

[rotund moss]

just tested it, seem to happen with IAC AAC and AAM containers, the artifact will be displayed and seems to behave like its at 100% and lose all power then you take it out but go back to 100% if you put them back into one of thies 3 Containers

explains why my empowered and crafted artifacts went to 100% after putting them into the respected application container, im sure as hell dont take them out ever i would cry

[willow hawk]

I'm pretty sure I heavily tested that....

and that wasn't a thing even after leaving an artefact in a container and loading back my save

[rotund moss]

im sure you did thats why im surprised my self, maybe some sort of spagetti from some updates from other addons?

[willow hawk]

are you sure you use the last version ?

[rotund moss]

i did update (RC1) just a few days ago

[willow hawk]

hum

alright I'll check it out...

[rotund moss]

i can try a fresh install after getting some sleep if you want

[willow hawk]

Don't inflict that to yourself

[rotund moss]

on the bright side LLCs seem to behave as intended

[rotund moss]

kind of hoped you would say that, but the actual work is done by you

[brisk zinc]

I'll try later in my RC1 that is fairly new

I'll check the leaded container too but it should be doing the same thing, 100% when you have the artefact inside (and I know it does it) and when you take it out it's "lower", I don't know about the randomized numbers so I'll check that out too

[marsh hatch]

Hmm, weird. My artifacts seem to be working fine.

[willow hawk]

This

When artefacts are in LLC IAM IAC or AAM, they should keep the same percent

[marsh hatch]

I take 100% artifacts in and out of my AAC all the time. They don't increase or decrease their efficiencies at all.

[willow hawk]

You mean 99% ones ?

[marsh hatch]

Full 100%

From dead stalkers

[willow hawk]

What

[marsh hatch]

It's real

[willow hawk]

With artefacts Reinvention artefacts CAN'T BE at 100%

[marsh hatch]

Some stalkers would carry artifacts contained on them.

[willow hawk]

Yeah but as soon as you move them they should be randomized

[marsh hatch]

Well, they didn't for me.

[willow hawk]

[marsh hatch]

I don't use artifacts that often so it's not much abusing.

I only use my 28% Nightstar

[willow hawk]

As usual I'm reading these issues, will test it on my end, and there will be no problem whatsoever

[marsh hatch]

Suppose you keep this little issue I reported, it would be kinda funny.

[willow hawk]

That's only from artefacts dropped by stalkers ?

[marsh hatch]

Indeed

Artifacts from anomalies are still randomized as usual.

[willow hawk]

I'm pretty sure that if you drop them on the ground and pick them up they will be randomized

But they should be randomized as soon as they get to your backpack anyways...

[marsh hatch]

Ah whatever it is, that guy probably had messed up his game or sth.

If you, Falco and me have no problems with AACs at all, then why would him?

[drowsy girder]

artefacts i find on dead stalkers are also almost always 100%. After i put them into a container and take them back they get randomized though

by "container" i mean a stash or something, not lead container

[brisk zinc]

I'll check later if I have problems and report here

[drowsy girder]

i tested the IAM AAC thingy. For me they do keep their efficiency at whatever it was before putting them into the AAC

[willow hawk]

Yep that's what is intended

Only way to abuse it is: loot 100% art from dead stalker > immediately empower it to make it 99%

But as soon as you equip / unequip or move the artefact to any container or stash / box > it will be randomized

I still don't get why looting arts from a dead body will not randomize them though

the "move to ruck" callback should be activated

[drowsy girder]

maybe dead bodies have a different container class or something?

i just murdered my 4 companions (for...reasons) and while i was putting my items into their corpses, i realized that they still do keep their max weight limit. You can put tons of items into a stash but you can't put tons of items into a dead stalker

so i'm assuming they have an entirely different container class

[strange moon]

So um

Quick melee doesnt work anymore

[hollow apex]

maybe you have encountered the infamous "busy hands" issue...

[strange moon]

I did but it isnt that

Sadly

[hollow apex]

maybe reload will fix

[strange moon]

I did many times

So many times

It still wouldnt work

[hollow apex]

what map are you in

Jupiter or Zaton?

[strange moon]

It has something to do with the mods.

Not with the map

[hollow apex]

actually in Jupiter or Zaton many people have that issue

[strange moon]

Me? Im in lab x18 and i have that issue :/

Ffs

I would even shoot my companion dead just to fix it lmao

[hollow apex]

well tried...

[strange moon]

I know i know

In anomaly vanilla you can find unique artifacts in x18, no

?

[hollow apex]

I don't think I ever find some unique one down there

[strange moon]

But i saw em

Their extremely rare

Basically an actual "artifact of artifacts"

You will only find them once, yes there is more then one

[hollow apex]

the closest thing I could imagine according to that is the Oasis

[strange moon]

Well

You can craft it in gamma so it doesnt really matter for me...lol

But so does the compass

There are about 100 artifacts in the stalker existence

including the monolith shard too

[hollow apex]

one question here: is the "bounty squad" a real thing? after I clear a faction's main base, only a notification pop up and that's all I don't see anyone coming after my a*s. Does anyone really meet those "bounty squad"?

[strange moon]

No, they just get the news prolly

And yes, bounty squads exist but they come after you from some random ass location lmao

But tbh, i once saw a monolith bounty squad as i was hiding.
I just watched them, basically avoided them.
It was about 5 or 6, and 3 minutes later i get a message that i shouldnt be at the place where i was bcs they were going there.
In fact, theyve gone PAST it ffs

Motherfuckers can use a gun, but cant hit a hidden target

Goddamn

[strange moon]

Ok well

I am still in x18 and i need the second code

Where do i find it?

[rotund moss]

basement

like very very basement

[strange moon]

In the stash?

[rotund moss]

you will find a room with a set of stairs near the burning corridor

no on the corpse of the Professor who got killed by his pet (Pseudogiant)

in case you dont find the code after that in your PDA (Messages) check your DMs (sent you the codes yesterday + work around for 2nd door bug)

[strange moon]

Found it

[north turret]

hello guys i was wondering if someone can help me, anybody has those gas mask textures that come with gamma default installation? i accidantly replaced them with groks mask textures, the default one looked deffrint, more screen covering.

[rotund moss]

did you add his mask overlay addon?

[strange moon]

The code doesnt work

[north turret]

grok's gas mask is installed by defualt right? the textures just looked deffrint the ones i installed are much lighter

[rotund moss]

try the workaround (leaving the lab and coming back) its a known issue and never worked the first time for me either

[strange moon]

Well what about my companion

He will leave me when i leave

[rotund moss]

sorry can you upload a screenshot? im not sure what you mean

[rotund moss]

wait did you hire him? i usually leave them outside anyway since they mostly in the way inside the labs anyway

[strange moon]

Yes, he is hired

[north turret]

i dont have screenshot, the ones i installed are just the grok's gas mask textures one on moddb, the ones that came with the defualt gamma installation

were much more screen covering you know what i mean

[rotund moss]

oh you mean the Glas"simulation" from the mask, compared to the dark edges from his older work right?

[strange moon]

Ye i killed him once i got back >~>

[rotund moss]

well in gamma i think you only get the glas, i dont mind it tho

[rotund moss]

F hope he didnt had anything important on him, that you cant carry

[strange moon]

Lol

[north turret]

ahhh maybe, do you use gas mask effect?

[strange moon]

Nah i am jusy nearly overloaded

[rotund moss]

also how did he survive the 2nd sublevel?

[rotund moss]

i didnt fuck around with the setting for the mask overlay so maybe?

[rotund moss]

so playing as intended

[strange moon]

Da

[north turret]

can you share files of groks mask addon in your mod folder?

not the download mod folder

the mods folder

[strange moon]

I think imma stay in x18 a bit, feel lucky

Got a black spray, empty and a sponge aswell as a henerator

[rotund moss]

it did help me with artifact crafting but it kind of makes me want to blow it (the lab) self up at the same time

[strange moon]

Same dude

[north turret]

can you share files of groks mask addon in your mod folder?
not the download mod folder
the mods folder

[rotund moss]

no i will not share any files with anyone unless its big anime tiddies

and i did not install any different mask overlays

[strange moon]

Lol

[graceful iron]

its not just news, its real but there are so many factors that go into it and they will never reach you instantly.

its not always as soon as you get "stalker has got whats coming for him" that they spawn
