[dapper iron]

ok. I have 4 companions. They help me move all to rostok xd

Why rostok?

[rotund moss]

its central

basicly only half a days walk away from most stuff

also guides who can bring you to jupiter and zaton, in case you want/need to move up north

plus it has a tech, a doc, a general trader and barkeep

[quick needle]

Any ideas as to why the mercs and ecologists at Yantar shoot me on sight but I'm cool with regular mercs and ecos? For context I started as a merc and my relations are all at least neutral. I even tried disguising as a loner and they still all turn hostile if I approach the scientist lab

This isn't the first time I've been to the lab either, I got the psy helmet already. Tried waiting several days and they are still hostile.

Looks like his goodwill is tanked. Any idea why this might have happened?

[desert robin]

How do you already have 4 companions?

[rotund moss]

as a loner you can have 3-4 companions within the first hour or so, take fanatic with you, never do anything else on his training day missions, take the 2 tourists with you from wolfs "tourist safari" (you might have to wait a few hours before he gives you the task) and free the rookie who got kidnapped (also task from wolf) thats 4, if you get realy lucky and find the shotgun, ammo and a can of tuna you can take Hip with you

also giving random bleeding out stalkers a medkit do give you a great chance to make them companions after the fight

[rotund moss]

usually they only start hating you with a passion if you somehow kill one of their own

[dapper iron]

hip, 2 from a scort mission and 1 for rescue

[rotund moss]

yeah and if you realy lucky you can take a set of up to 5 dudes (guiding task) with you as well

[quick needle]

I don't recall killing anyone at Yantar. I checked a few of their relations and pretty much all the named NPCs at Yantar hate my guts and shoot on site

[rotund moss]

do you have the possibility to load an earlier save (without loosing progress) to check how they react to you there?

now that i think about it, i do sometimes see random loners trying to blast hatchet and co in yantar

tho it does not happen often

[quick needle]

Oh they've been hostile for a while now. I just came back after 3 or 4 days to check if that reset them

I might just need to reset goodwill on each of them manually

[rotund moss]

in the worst case you will have to do that

[neat furnace]

Is the shotgun for hip just random loot now? Since traders don't sell guns anymore

Need a zone gf

[rotund moss]

the shotgun needed got changed to the Toz194 you can find it on basicly every other bandit squad @neat furnace

but the 20rounds of buckshot are not optional anymore it appears, she will only take the damn thing if you have the ammo as well

tan of tuna can get be bought at barkeep, most of the time its also random loot at the farm/100Rads Bar

[rotund moss]

but the Zone is your GF

[neat furnace]

I was wondering about this as well, I think I saw a trailer where there were animations for items that get used but in my game the camera just shakes around and sounds play but that's it

[vapid dirge]

@north turret Got removed disabled due to too many gamebreaking issues

[neat furnace]

Ahh understandable

Hopefully it’ll come back someday!

[quick cloak]

Is there anyway to make artifact sucks less? Getting an artifact with 10% conditions everytime and need to melt the same one together for a few percent boost seem tedious

Info about what? My kind fellow stalker?

Extremely high rupture defenses and good balistic for early game (Beril 5m armor) . I can wear that armor and get hit by boar for days / i quote the wrong line

[rotund moss]

but they dont suck tho? sure it take time and effort but you cant become a demi god over night

[quick cloak]

I know but the grind seem very tedious. You need great luck to find two of a same kind of artifact and melt them together for like 3 to 4 time to get 100%

[rotund moss]

you can always fuse junk artifacts (which are many off if you just use a echo detector) for the things in tier 1 you are missing

[quick cloak]

Now this is new info. I didn't know that

[rotund moss]

you guys dont read #│📚manual do you?

[quick cloak]

I did, but there are a lot to read

Must have skip the junk part

[rotund moss]

i cant see the problem with reading

like just now you are extracting information through reading, since we dont actually talk

its like we throw a piece of paper around in a classroom, tho faster and nobody yelling at us

[quick cloak]

This is more engaging :D

[rotund moss]

yeah but if you go the extra mile and read up, why dont read everything you wanted to know?

might be just how my brain works but i never understood that part

[desert robin]

All good i was going to change the outfit that you get from giving Spirit the vodkas. I found the script now

[quick cloak]

Mostly bc i'm just a lazy reader. But thank you for the info

[quick cloak]

Kudos. The Beril really break the early game

[rotund moss]

yeah it kinda does

basicly throws you into early mid game

[mild tulip]

My gun is leaning on an angle when I zoom.

Is there a way to remove this?

Like I'm poking over a fence or something.

[rotund moss]

can you make a screenshot? i dont have the mental capacity left to imagine what you mean

[desert robin]

Any suggestions on a replacement? Im thinking Ghille suit..

What i'm trying to avoid is much with decent bullet protection, so it's unique but good for a different reason than using it to stop bullets.

But then again its other stats are a bit too good..

[mild tulip]

Hang on.

Will just take a picture.

[desert robin]

and Fenced LC suit seems a bit weak..

[rotund moss]

if there is any way for you to mess with the condition of the suit you could also just give it to the actor at lets say 80%

since ghille opens an other can of worms

but fenced stuff would make awfull lot of sense now that i think about it

its a bit weaker than its counter part

if memory serves

[desert robin]

Yeah quite a bit

[rotund moss]

so maybe a fenced Beril on top of it not being at 100% still an upgrade from leather jackets but not as powerful as it used to be?

[sharp roost]

so, I noticed that armors are really inconsistent with how they display stats, sometimes it's bars sometimes it's percentages, what makes it flipflop like that

[rotund moss]

i honestly only see bars then i test shit with debug mode so i cant say i can relate

[sharp roost]

hrmm

[quick cloak]

I think a suit like salamander or a steel helm is ok

Like a decent upgrade for those who choose leather coat

[rotund moss]

oooh totaly forgor about the salamander suit

that one with a steel helmet would be still a major upgrade but not tooo strong

since the helmet only protects your noggin

[quick cloak]

I play with body health disable (taking yaludin after every fight make me feel dizzy) so a steel helm is pretty good for early game

But with body health enable i think the combo is great

[desert robin]

Yeah Salamander seems like the best candidate so far. I was trying to find how to modify the items spawn condition but no luck yet so may go with a 100% salamander....

[mild tulip]

See how the gun is at a weird angle?

[rotund moss]

i thought so

[quick cloak]

Press V

[rotund moss]

press v if you havent changed the keybind for your underbarrel nade launcher

you change through available scopes/sighs with that button and some pistol let you go full gobnik

[mild tulip]

Is that a view for cover?

Like shooting over cover?

[rotund moss]

not realy some pistols come with a lazer and this makes it easier to aim them at night (if you use night vision)

[mild tulip]

That fixed it.

[rotund moss]

that or just go full gobnik and gangsterfire that bitch

[mild tulip]

I see.

lol

I was fighting a Burer and had to run away.

[rotund moss]

the idea with the condition was just in case we dont find some thing "weak" enough to not be to strong

[mild tulip]

@rotund moss Thanks Cain.

I appreciate that. Nearly died.

[rotund moss]

np my words are usually not that helpful tho, since i have been awake for waaaay to long most of the time

or just woke up

[mild tulip]

Yeah that game does that to you. At some stage I'll have to stop playing to get back into life but it's easy for the hours to roll by.

It's fun though, once I beat it on ironman I'll see.

I'm looking forward to the story as well.

[rotund moss]

i realy should stop starting a new run every few days and get the story quests done with so i can go back on getting fucked side ways in iron man again

[wary dragon]

Is there a way to reset reshade settings to how they would be on a fresh gamma install, something has happened where something is clearly wrong with the lighting but I can't really seem to do anything about it,

[mild tulip]

Apparently 1.6 is out at some stage.

Yeah, just overwrite the user.ltx file.

You can copy the settings from:

https://github.com/Grokitach/Stalker_GAMMA/blob/main/G.A.M.M.A/modpack_patches/appdata/user.ltx

Just delete everything in your user.ltx and add those settings.

[desert robin]

It comes with the RC3 Download

[mild tulip]

Yeah you can do that too.

It's in mod resources

[static lake]

do I have to delete the mods folder to update the Wepl Hit Effects addon? then update gamma data and complete installation?

[wary dragon]

fixed, thanks!

[desert robin]

It's compatible with GAMMA (uses the already modified file) and i also updated the relevant NPC's dialog to be consistent

@quick cloak Heres another you might like that removes the early Clearsky armors (the first 2, but keeps the last strong one)

[quick cloak]

Bro. Thank you!!!!!

[pure scarab]

i have updated from rc1 to rc3 do i need to click complete instalation or just update??

[graceful iron]

you need a complete installation

[rotund moss]

i just throw it into a folder in the mod folder and check it in MO2 aye? xD

[graceful iron]

also make sure to not move the GAMMARC1 folder and use it as your RC3, you need a new folder for it

only move the downloads folder

[desert robin]

You can do this too.. and just select the zipped file

[rotund moss]

seems oddly convenient let me do it the hard way D:

[graceful iron]

it does work, thats how you install any mods in mo2 yourself if they are downloaded as a zip file

they just need to be the correct file structure which i assume grulag made them as

[rotund moss]

im learning stuff... my head hurts now

[pure scarab]

https://tenor.com/view/crycat-crying-cat-crying-cat-thumbs-up-thumbs-up-ok-gif-22851318

[desert robin]

Wait until you learn you can drag and drop zip files into MO2 to make them a mod 🤯

[pliant cradle]

Any way to get tool sets more quickly?

I need expert tools, I've spent an eternity getting all the stuff together to build an AS VAL, then the advanced repair kits, but apparently I need expert tools

[graceful iron]

red forest and further north are the only places for expert kits

[pliant cradle]

oof, very well then

Is that linked to progression or reputation before they start to appear?

[graceful iron]

outskirts, pripyat and radar have decent chances for it

[graceful iron]

nope, randomly generated in marked stashes

[pliant cradle]

Very cool.

[graceful iron]

green stashes have a higher chance for a tool kit

[pliant cradle]

The detailed weapon repair systems are very cool, they appeal to my autism, although it does create a situation where the one gun you pick at character creation might define your playthrough a bit too much for scarcity reasons

But it's far better than standard anomaly, where you ignore everything and just take the best route of buying what you want

[graceful iron]

for a few in game days, unless you figure out you can field repair guns if you get good enough parts for them when they already have a decent barrel (functional or dirty)

[pliant cradle]

I'm actually thinking about gun parts now, looking out for certain ones, getting engaged with the systems. That's good stuff

Ah, I see

Is that only for lower-tier guns? My damaged AS VALs don't seem to have the Maintain Parts option

[graceful iron]

collect all parts that are above 60, get a gun with a dirty or functional barrel and pay a mechanic to clean the gun for you, drag and drop the repaired parts onto the gun (you can repair parts if they are above 60 with ramrods, files and the multitool)

[magic reef]

Hi I have an issue with the game crashing when talking to bar keeper at 100 rads bar. everytime.. Fine otherwise

[graceful iron]

only if you have the repair kit you can maintain parts

[graceful iron]

i think this has been fixed in a recent update, make sure to update gamma data and then update gamma installation? when was the last time you updated/installed ?

[magic reef]

I installed it all yesterday

[graceful iron]

ok, make sure to do an update in the installer #💽how-to-update

[magic reef]

aaha ok thanks

[magic reef]

Thanks

[hollow loom]

Is Grok planning to remove this particular sig

i remember a discussion about it or similar

[willow hawk]

Nope. You can very well repair any gun early. Just get a gun with a barrel above 60. You can repair it to fully 100% without the repair kit

[willow hawk]

No it will be kept

[willow hawk]

What's the crash ? Could be a recent update that I pushed

[hollow loom]

It seems like my companion no longer sprints. He just run/jogs to me

Since the update

His carry load is drastically lower too, I emptied his inventory to test

[willow hawk]

Disable the newly added Addon companion stay further than player

[reef galleon]

anyone have a good set of MCM settings that gives the game a more populated feel?

also, I have 259 active mods, is that ok?

[willow hawk]

Increase ZCP values

Pop factor as well as reduced spawn frequency

[reef galleon]

thanks grok

[reef galleon]

holy crap, is there no shelter in the garage area for psy storms or blow outs? just had to run back to cordon lol

[graceful iron]

the depot? the flea market?

[reef galleon]

it didnt show the objective in those areas

had me goin south

which i though was strange cuz usually i do hide in the depot

[graceful iron]

sometimes it does not show an objective on the nearest cover

[willow hawk]

Use Anabiotics

[reef galleon]

oh?

what does that do?

[graceful iron]

you blackout for the duration of the psy storm/ emission

meaning you wont take damage

[reef galleon]

ooo ok

[strong pivot]

Should I be concerned about backing up my save before doing this?

#📢announcements message

[graceful iron]

you mean an update?

[strong pivot]

Yeah, or that one in particular, I still haven't done it

Seems bigger than average

[reef galleon]

Thanks! also, can you explain the heals part of the mod, so my leg is damaged, when I take a scientific stim, it shows a light grey bar, but it disappears and looks like it doesn't fix the limb, what am I missing?

[graceful iron]

its just a few addons, its completely safe to update

[reef galleon]

I updated, no issues with my save game

[graceful iron]

not you

[graceful iron]

#│📚manual healing section, but basically you need a first aid (yellow dots) and then a post heal (white dots)

[reef galleon]

oh i was just letting yodi know i didnt have issues with my update

[graceful iron]

for yellow it can be a medkit or a bandage and for white dots it can be a yadulin or ibuprofen, all details are in each item's properties

[reef galleon]

thanks for the help, and showing me the manual channel

[sterile musk]

stupid question probably but what tool do you need to disassemble rifles?

[willow hawk]

Multitool @sterile musk

[sterile musk]

ah damn i should carry one while travelling then

thanks

[tidal raft]

It's pointing to the pipe south-west.
You don't need to transition, only to stay within the pipe.

[reef galleon]

ahhh

[strong pivot]

I just found out there might be fast travel and I never used it
Is that so? And how's it used?

Like, it doesn't seem to be either clicking or right clicking on the PDA, unless it's gotta be done with personal stashes

[graceful iron]

you need to first enable it in the game settings, mostly just put it on visited only and then you open the pda and right click on the green house icons of places you already visited.

[strong pivot]

Damn, that'd been nice to know

[graceful iron]

fast travel limit mod is a thing so fast travel will cost money and will have a 12h cooldown minimum but you can change the cost in mcm or disable the mod completely in mo2

[strong pivot]

Sweet, thank you

[north turret]

Sorry not at my pc to look at this myself but is it possible to change how the stash settings work?
I feel like being given the exact location makes them feel a little skyrim questy that I'm just running around ticking off. I would prefer an approx location around the size of an anomaly field. I miss that feeling of that looks like a good place for a stash let me climb up there and see.

[graceful iron]

there are currently RF side quests that give something similar to this, you get a random area with a random part of it and a RF to search for a hidden package

also, i think gamma has a mod that adds even more stash locations and some of them are not easy to find even if they are marked on the map

[north turret]

That's a good point actually I've only done one of those and forgot about them, I liked that process of tracking it down.

[north turret]

So it's still worth checking the unmarked ones? I thought I read somewhere they wouldn't have any loot in them.

[graceful iron]

they will most likely not have anything in them if they are not marked

[north turret]

Ahhhh wait I just reread what you said

[graceful iron]

zcp spawns unintended one or 2 items once when the run starts but thats it

[north turret]

Yeah I've struggled to find some even with the location which kind of lead to that feeling of huhhh imagine if I had just found this all by myself with my big stalker brain how cool would that feel.

[graceful iron]

there are certain problems with such a system and idk how possible it is to do

[north turret]

Yeah I don't know what a better alternative is. I can appreciate some people have played this game for over a decade and there aren't any more stash locations that could be hidden to them so the marker is a nice convenience.

[graceful iron]

thats what the more stash locations mod tries to fix i guess

[north turret]

I have no clue if its even possible to do but dynamic ones that were only there for a few hours and you had to figure out the location based off radio chatter would be extremely cool.

[brisk nacelle]

I didn't appreciate the framedrops so I disabled the shaders and deleted shader cache, but the game is just a blackscreen except for the ui.

[willow hawk]

You need shader driven scopes

It's very light anyways

and is part of the balance of the game

[willow hawk]

Most likely the frame drops are associated to:

– Disabling the reshade (remove dxgi.dll in Anomaly folder)
– ZCP spawning stuff

[brisk nacelle]

Oh that works, thanks a lot.

[peak atlas]

So im investigating X-18 labs, found kalugin and it gave me the message 1243 for the first doors code, went down killed a buncha mutants, killed the pseudogiant and found rockatansky which gave me 9524 for the "central laboratory room", but the only door i found does not open with that code

[reef galleon]

so is it normal for the train hanger to not have guards?

[dense blaze]

I've had the same, saving and reloading fixed it.

[wary field]

How do you increase butcher's supply level? Is he associated with any faction?

[peak atlas]

Thank you, worked

[torn berry]

what is a faction thats mostly fighting everyone but isnt shitly located?

i kinda want a run where im fighting almost anythin

neuron activation type of shit

[royal oxide]

Military is ok imo

[dense blaze]

With the way artifacts/empowering works in GAMMA, is it impossible to actually improve ''unique'' artifacts such as the Heart of Oasis? i never saw the option to empower or do anything with it when using the Artifact Melter

[willow hawk]

You can craft it

[dense blaze]

So there's basically no reason to do the Oasis puzzle? Or find other unique artifacts such as the Volat. As they will spawn in pretty much useless condition and cant be improved

[delicate sand]

Hi, sorry to ping, what do you think about this now? Will it be implemented?

[willow hawk]

Main issue is managing quantity etc

[delicate sand]

Well just a little amounts, to keep the impression of everyone crafting ammo from time to time?

[fallow sequoia]

Is there a list of npcs that sell stash coordinates that i can see

[willow hawk]

All traders

For 6500 RU

[fallow sequoia]

I didn't see any traders that do on yanov or skadovsk

Do i have to do jobs for them to unlock or something

[fathom mulch]

how tf am i supposed to get and upgrade weapons and armor early game??? i cant even repair my starter gear

[fallow sequoia]

#│📚manual at the top

[fathom mulch]

"just gotta find it" is bullshit this is barely playable. either i have to spend 1000 to use a workbench just to be told i dont have the repair kit or i can ask someone to upkeep my stuff but its parts are still fucked. but when i find parts i cant replace them. i cant buy guns and armor so playing the game is not an option to progress. what is the point of this? i am on the easiest difficulty and STILL cant progress because of the lack of supplies. the traders dont sell part repair kits and i cant craft those. WTF

[fallow sequoia]

you don't need the vice, you can craft from a toolkit like basic tools. at the start you can find basic and advanced tools from stashes and from there you can craft repair kits to repair guns but sometimes you don't even need the kit. read the ingame guide in the pda about repairing

[fallow sequoia]

beard is supply level 1 and owl is supply level 5

[willow hawk]

Git gud

Read the #│📚manual

You just need to find basic toolkit

Hip gives you one

Right click basic toolkit and "open workbench"

No need to pay for the vice

[edgy echo]

When you get how to progress in GAMMA its like no other mods. Maybe it will not be for you. But I believe you will like it.

[willow hawk]

Just need to get into the move really. It's a shift from the boring "farm tasks buy AEK and shotgun and you are done with your gear after 2 days in the zone"

And don't worry people still manage to find basic and advanced toolkit in the first day in the zone @fathom mulch

[wispy loom]

Do Expert Toolkits spawn in Limansk?

[willow hawk]

If it's not to your liking you can turn GAMMA economy off and tick Trader Overhaul instead @fathom mulch

But the progression in GAMMA and GAMMA economy is perfectly balanced and works very well

[wispy loom]

perfectly balanced as all things should be.

[fallow sequoia]

@willow hawk i think you missed some traders or something. even in yanov no one is selling coords

[willow hawk]

Hum I'll check

I'll make it more expensive in the north more likely

[fallow sequoia]

I thought that if i bought them at the north they would appear there too since most of the stashes i've had we're more on the south side prior

[wispy loom]

It also seems the mechanic at skadovsk doesnt have missions for toolkits so hes stuck at Supply Lvl 1

[quick cloak]

is there anyway to turn on quickslot and ammo icon without interfering with the using item icon like this?

[fathom mulch]

im not one to give up but even when i use the t0ol kits i cant clean or replace the parts for armor and no mechanic will fix it. at least i havnt found him yet

[wispy loom]

You need to craft the armor repair kit that fits as well. light / medium / heavy / exo

[fathom mulch]

oh okay

[wispy loom]

if you have that in your inventory and open the workbench you can swap out parts

some kits you buy from mechanics allow you to repair parts too

[fathom mulch]

you are the fist truly helpful comment thank you so much

[steep pollen]

read the manual

[wispy loom]

np bro love ya

also yeah the manual is very helpful when starting out

it was really overwhelming in the beginning for me too since i never used the anomaly crafting system before but once you get the hang of it its pretty easy

you can also right click and see details for armor and weapons for example what kits you need to be able to repair them

[molten tartan]

There is a key bind for "companion teleport" which does not seem to work. Do I need to install another mod for this to work?

[willow hawk]

Everything is in the #│📚manual

[flat knot]

What does 'disable items 'use' functor' mean?

[willow hawk]

Can't use items from inventory when an animation is on going

[molten tartan]

I could swear the companion teleport was working in RC1

[willow hawk]

It's in optional in RC3 @molten tartan

Just tick it

[molten tartan]

silly me!

[static lake]

are RF receiver missions bugged or something? I keep getting strong beeps at the edge of the map in meadow but I find no bodies.

[willow hawk]

Only the bip speed matters

Not the strength

[long grove]

does anyone record stalker in OBS? Looking for vid settings that vastly reduce pixelation on grass and trees.

[static lake]

So the louder beeps are a red herring?

[willow hawk]

Increase bit rate decrease resolution

If you reach twitch max bit rate, decrease resolution

[long grove]

not streaming, just for YT vids if that makes a diff

[willow hawk]

Having a slower compression method should also work

[long grove]

I'm trying to use the adjust scope HUD feature. Will this work for any weapon, including iron sights? Using the keybind doesn't do anything at he moment.

[wispy loom]

I have 21% toxic radiation, but if I equip a pin artifact which says it will be -3% toxic it removes the entire stat bar

is this just a UI bug or does it actually remove all my toxin protection

[willow hawk]

When did you update ?

[fringe coral]

hey grok would u be willing to post a guide on how u remove the guns from the economy so if someone wants to remove even more they can do so themselves?

[willow hawk]

Check GAMMA Economy addon

@fringe coral

What I did isn't that good honestly, scripts would be better. I made guns into a new category in trade_preset.ltx and made traders uninterested in that category and unable to sell them. Same for armors

The easiest would be to adapt Trader Destockifier though. But LTX edits are more secure and less costly than more scripts

[fringe coral]

wait are we talking about the same thing here, i meant that post on ur to do list where u said u gonna completely remove some guns from the game. i want to add even more guns to that list myself.

[torn berry]

is FDDA good now since the mutant skinning is gone?

or has it still not been tested too much

[flat knot]

Am I supposed to buy crafting materials or have I just been unfortunate in my scavenging?

I just tend not to find many, all total

[sharp roost]

unfortunate

wait, wdym by crafting materials

like, metal scrap, transistors, copper wire, etc

or weapon/outfit parts

[flat knot]

The first - stuff like that, gun oils, steel wool, fasteners, yadda yadda

The latter I just take apart other people's stuff

[sharp roost]

oh, you need to be disassembling junk items

if it has a gear on the icon you can disassemble it for components

[flat knot]

So I've just been unlucky in getting junk items then

[sharp roost]

also gun oils/steel wools are repair items and should be bought usually

you might find a few but I wouldn't rely on scavenging for them

[flat knot]

Roger - thank you much!

[wispy loom]

2 days after or the day after you posted on reddit

[sharp roost]

we had a rather big bugfix update yesterday

so probs update to be safe

[wispy loom]

where do i find instructions on how to update?

[sharp roost]

#💽how-to-update

[fallow sequoia]

Check the codec on your uploaded video if it's avc or vp09.
Usually you'd need to upload a video at least 1440p to get youtube to compress it under vp09 which is the good codec. I usually just render it as 1440p via vegas before uploading

You have to rightclick the youtube vid in the browser on pc btw and click the view stats thing to display the codec

[wispy loom]

youre such a qt

[sharp roost]

Sank you

[willow hawk]

Aaah well it's just through editing the NPC loadouts and stashes

[willow hawk]

Disassemble stuff ?

[willow hawk]

Aaah update now

[fathom mulch]

why am i aiming like this

[flat knot]

Yessir, just getting unlucky with junk items

[torn berry]

its the alternate pistol aim

press V

[fathom mulch]

thanks

[graceful iron]

#│💻keybinds-in-gamma

[torn berry]

[fathom mulch]

see how he told me the key to -press? thats helpful

[graceful iron]

i only said #│💻keybinds-in-gamma because he already pointed out the key

why say the same thing twice?

[fathom mulch]

oh im sorry then

[peak tapir]

am i just dumb? i feel like every time i do what i think is the update process on the installer the mod just crashes when i load any save

[graceful iron]

post the crash log, you can find it in anomaly/appdata/logs

its a text document

[peak tapir]

seems like it crashed because of the magazine mod?

[graceful iron]

you had the magazine mod enabled?

make sure its enabled again

[peak tapir]

OH YEAH, it resets that shit doesnt it

[graceful iron]

yes

[peak tapir]

so im only forgetful and not dumb, sweet

ty

[wispy loom]

Anyone know how to remove that giant red line from the sun?

[north turret]

Hi, not sure if im asking in the right place but I found nowhere else. I can't seem to sell any artefacts, as they are all "too damaged to traded". Is this normal? Enjoying the mod btw

[graceful iron]

#│📚manual artefact reinvention

yes its intended for them to be really damaged

[wispy loom]

I tried enabling/disabling different reshade things but none of them removed them so I assume its a visual addon

[graceful iron]

never noticed that in gamma

[north turret]

So i have to fuse them using the melter thingy to even be able to sell them?

[graceful iron]

yes

[tribal estuary]

Or the sun from the night

[wispy loom]

OH HOLY MONOLITH

[peak tapir]

i got a question, does the magazine mod hinder your ability to swap ammo types? cuz ik thats a big thing in this mod and not having like, a way to select specific mags with specific ammo types seems like a big oversight

i havent gotten far enough to see if thats a thing or not

[graceful iron]

you can fill each mag with a single type of ammo and then select it like normal through the ammo wheel

[willow hawk]

Please stop saying to people who is helpful and who is not. That's not a good behavior. Everyone takes time to answer to you so be grateful

[peak tapir]

oh this mod has a full on wheel instead? hadnt gathered enough ammo of other types to even touch the button lol

[graceful iron]

anomaly has an ammo wheel, you use that same wheel to swap ammo types with mags as well

the default button is y

[willow hawk]

Roadside's Lens Flares, just untick it

[torn berry]

[willow hawk]

Holy fuck

[wispy loom]

Love you Grok

[willow hawk]

It's a jdude thing, indeed it's garbage buged in certain situations

[torn berry]

monolith is on some fuckin drugs with that night sun

[wispy loom]

Is it a reshade thing or do i find it in the mod list?

[willow hawk]

Mod list. It's a texture thing

[wispy loom]

Thanks bae

[tribal estuary]

A red sun rises, blood has been spilled this night

[long grove]

ok, thanks 🙂

do stash coords from turning in tasks not show up sometimes? Just finished 2 tasks for wolf and the log says I received stash coords but there is nothing on the map. I have everything set to show on map.

[fallow sequoia]

It might be in another region

[long grove]

I panned around everywhere are they hidden if I haven't been there?

[graceful iron]

the location is randomized across the whole zone

you could have missed it

they are always marked

[dapper iron]

You need a toolkit or repair kit for this? Im in early game and dont have any of that things yet

[graceful iron]

you dont need a tool kit to field repair the gun, you just need to repair gun parts that were at 60 or higher to 100 and then drag them onto the gun, if the gun is too rusty pay a mechanic to clean it

#│📚manual

[keen sierra]

how do i obtain the medium armor repair kit?

[graceful iron]

craft it

you need the advanced tool kit, you can also give the advanced tool kit to a mechanic and he will start selling the medium armor kit

[keen sierra]

after i give him the basic what will he sell?

[keen sierra]

painus

this mod is painus

[graceful iron]

light armor kit, historic rifle and head gear (btw headgear has no use)

[keen sierra]

have 80k rubles

rely on rng to even get anything...

what was i even thinking

i think i just had a stroke in the middle of that

[keen sierra]

can i repair the apocalypse helm or the m50 with the head gear?

[graceful iron]

no

[keen sierra]

and no

damn

[graceful iron]

helmets use armor kits now

[keen sierra]

WHY

[graceful iron]

headgear kit is too easy to obtain

[keen sierra]

oh

right

[graceful iron]

getting a good helmet early game means you can go north without worrying about rads

[keen sierra]

i rely on rng to get bigger although i have 82k roubles

[peak tapir]

do i need to hit the checkbox for mags redux in the ZCP mcm menu?

[graceful iron]

no?

[keen sierra]

you can get synthetics through soaked underwear now, yeah?

[graceful iron]

i believe yes? you can right click > details to check

[tidal raft]

You may want to if you are playing with magasines. It enables them to be found in stashes.

[graceful iron]

oh.. i thought it was a compatibility setting

[tidal raft]

In a sense, it is.

[graceful iron]

ok

[keen sierra]

doing wolf tourist safari rn but for some reason

the tourists wont follow me, they stay put and one of them aims at me then stos

stops*

did console save and load

quicksave and load

same

[fallow sequoia]

You might've commanded them to stay by accident

[keen sierra]

nah

i just got the mission from him + pressed c and checked

[sharp roost]

82k is nothing

a good reflex scope is like 25k

[sharp roost]

enable the companion teleport mod under the "good addons w/ issues and bugs" section in MO2

then press J

it usually resets their behavior when they teleport

cus sometimes they get stuck on random shit

[keen sierra]

TY

this worked!

[royal oxide]

any reason why I'm seeing a black square instead of compass?

[somber tusk]

Is there a way to disable needing repair kit charges to swap out armor parts?
Or change the item required, to maybe just a sewing kit?

[sharp roost]

They shouldnt require that in the first place?

Well, they shouldnt consume charges

[somber tusk]

oh, really? I assumed they did

[sharp roost]

Nope

Charges are only used if you use it to repair condition or upgrade

[somber tusk]

thanks

while I'm here asking about repair, is there a way to get repairmen to repair gun components?

[sharp roost]

No

[somber tusk]

I have 100% condition guns but no way to repair their 25% condition parts without a 30000 repair kit

[sharp roost]

You gotta do that

But

Better way is to scrap guns with >60% condition parts

Then use multitool/file/ramrod to repair them

Much cheaper

[somber tusk]

right, well, haven't found any lol

but thanks

[sharp roost]

Yee

[slate goblet]

You have to delete the zone_map_16.xml in G.A.M.M.A. Minimalist HUD\gamedata\configs\ui

[hollow loom]

Don't you still have to have the required stalker rank to even get the helmet drop in the first place

Also you can still go north, just carry vodka and anti rads. They're dirt cheap

[blissful iron]

That is the alternative aim function most likely. It's bound to the grenade launcher key and allows certain guns to rotate off axis. Primarily to allow a view with the target without the magnification of a scope.

[hollow loom]

Does a companion's weapon condition matter?

Like if I give him a shitty AK I found, will it deal less damage/jam more because it's low %?

[royal oxide]

this worked, thank you! ❤️

[plush jackal]

@willow hawk Is receiving faction patches from tearing them off the outfit disabled?

Or my game's bugged to hell

[hollow loom]

If there's already a patch on the body

I've noticed you can't tear it off

[willow hawk]

Delete zone_map.xml zone_map16.xml in minimalist HUD

[willow hawk]

You find them on the body yes

[flat knot]

I recognize that this is a very silly question, but that RC3/Mods folder I'm to delete when updating... Delete GAMMA > mods or is there an RC3 folder somewhere in there with a mod folder in it?

Basically, RC3 slash mods or mods in an RC3 folder?

[rotund moss]

you do have 2 Folders right? one with anomaly and one for MO2

you take the mods folder from MO2 folder yeet it and proceed like instructed

[flat knot]

By MO2 do you mean GAMMA?

Like, one folder for anomaly and one for the mod pack?

[cursive hawk]

Just had a fresh install of gamma. My debug menu is not working with the F7 bind. Is there something that I have to enable? I remember in very old versions of anomaly I had to add -dbg to the desktop shortcut for it to work.

[rotund moss]

select "anomaly launcher" in MO2 and check if the debug mode is active

[north turret]

nvm

[pure scarab]

so launched MO2 and has 259 mods in rc3

[rotund moss]

if thats the folder with the installer and mo2 then yes

[flat knot]

Brilliant, thank you. As I thought, I was overthinking it

[cursive hawk]

I see it now. Thank you ThirdCain!

[north turret]

Wait in my anomaly launcher my debug mode is active but I still can't access the menu

[rotund moss]

everyone might name their folder their own way, thats why i started to refer to them as "anomaly" and "MO2"

[rotund moss]

if debug mode in the launcher is unchecked is deactivated

you have to check it and launch the game once to the main menu then you can start using the direct start via mo2 again

[rotund moss]

might changed the keybinds? debug menu has its own keybind option in the settings

[pure scarab]

wait 0.25 mutants??

[rotund moss]

leave it

[pure scarab]

isnt that a bit too little??

[rotund moss]

its set to work with ZCP

[pure scarab]

a

ok

[rotund moss]

just make sure you have "balanced spawns" checked BEFORE you start a game

[pure scarab]

where is that??

[rotund moss]

MCM>ZCP

apperently its not checked for everyone on fresh install

[pure scarab]

where is the mag option?

[ivory mantle]

visual

[keen sierra]

does advanced tools have basic tools already in them?

[rotund moss]

no

[keen sierra]

dont need basic for any good craft anyways

or repair honestly

[north turret]

I loaded in the debug mode but my sceen is all black?

[pliant cradle]

Hm, but I still need the appropriate tool kit, right? Like how this AS VAL needs the Expert Tools?

[rotund moss]

if you want to upgrade a tier 3 slot you would need expert tools, other than that you only need them for crafting basicly

[rotund moss]

thats outside my paygrade, did you try killing shader cache folder with fire?

[fringe coral]

Could u point me in the right direction of which files i have to go thru?

[flat knot]

261 mods active after updating - that the correct number?

[pliant cradle]

Okay, I got it, you can replace everything but the barrel if the gun is in good cleanliness overall

[rotund moss]

note that barrel condition affects gun damage, accuracy and armour penetration

[fallow sequoia]

how do you enable the debugger

[pliant garnet]

sorry if this has been asked before, but i'm having trouble getting the compass to show instead of the mini map ( yes i only choose one ) , but the map still shows and i get a blue square rotating on my screen.

[tidal raft]

#│🔧troubleshooting

[graceful iron]

nope, its only a chance for helmets to drop

[fallow sequoia]

ty

[willow hawk]

If you have a 60+ % barrel, no

[willow hawk]

GAMMA NPC Loadouts ones

[fringe coral]

ah gotcha, and im guessing in groks stash overhaul as well then.

[willow hawk]

yes

[fringe coral]

thanks man, much appreciated. keep up the great work!

[pliant garnet]

Did i break the sun?

i mean is the new roadside screen effect supposed to look like a red bar ?

[grave plover]

its a newly added feature, disable Roadside's lens flares if you dont like it

[willow hawk]

I will change it later most likely

That's what's I'm aiming for

[grave plover]

more neutral color?

[pliant garnet]

@willow hawk ah i see that would be amazing , as always keep up the fantastic work!!!

[wispy loom]

Wait till you see it at night

Also are there scopes with higher than 4x magnification?

[willow hawk]

More subtle and neutral yes

[willow hawk]

Yes

[willow hawk]

I will fix it don't worry

[rigid linden]

how do I get there on Radar?

from x19?

[rotund moss]

there is a stair and a door

you have to go through radar it self to get there

[rigid linden]

how do you access the stairs? from the road?

or from the south?

I been from both sides and can't find the stairs

[gilded bear]

from under the structure

[dapper iron]

For this new reshade and the today updates we have to "update gamma data-update gamma installation"?or "update gamma data-complete gamma installation"?

[willow hawk]

Update update

[dapper iron]

ty 🙂

[rigid linden]

found it, thanks

[plush jackal]

Is Bleeding Control +4ml/min same as Wound healing +4? Or how it compares https://i.imgur.com/0to38J9.png

[void storm]

Go up the road and clear out the compound there's going to be a tunnel where the train tracks are leading

[willow hawk]

Same

[wispy loom]

I know bro, I have an insane amount of faith in you after playing this modpack for a week straight.

[willow hawk]

Thanks

[wispy loom]

Even before this I have played with your helmet HUDs in every playthrough of anomaly ive ever done

Wiping visor is peak mersion

[gilded bear]

Yellow Circle means that guy belongs to another squad, and the whole squad is following you. The leaders have stars.

[rotund moss]

honestly im amazed about groks ability to keep up if our "stupid little problems" all day every day

[willow hawk]

That's by caring about little details that you achieve great things

I'm also pushing hard because I know I'm close the GAMMA release

I.e. 1.0 i.e. "I don't have to work on this anymore"

[rotund moss]

well i will keep breaking the modpack on a daily base and let you know, if i find anything new (btw reloading a pumpaction and quick melee seem to be able to brute force busy hands)

i would say 1 out of 10 times tho

[willow hawk]

XRay doing its things

Save reload fixes everything

Almost

[rotund moss]

did not crash on trying to save this time, but im not done breaking it

i just wish i could give you better info as just: i did a thing

[strong pivot]

Is busy hands what's often bugging me into a state where I can't loot?

I use free zoom also and that also gets stuck when it's like that

Particularly aggravating with

It also doesn't let me use them daddy saves when it happens

[wispy loom]

When I updated GAMMA earlier a lot of the stats on my outfit went down quite a bit, like the psi resistance went down about that much, is that intentional? Im using the merc seva btw.
It looks a lot closer to the actual % of my outfits stats tho

[edgy echo]

There were an update saying "Accurate UI defence bars values", should be that

[wispy loom]

Oooooh

Makes sense

Thanks babe

[willow hawk]

No that's the alt key issue for disassembly and better stats bar addon stats display.

I disabled alt key to disassemble thing and it's not a problem anymore

[tacit yew]

Eventually people will rage saying they miss clicked and dismantled their items 😩

[wispy loom]

I think by disabling the alt key to disassemble youve accidentally made it so the artifact melter cant eat artifacts anymore

Because I was confused as heck earlier on how that worked, but seeing as you disabled the super key it kinda makes more sense

[willow hawk]

aaaaah

ok

[sharp roost]

skill issue

[willow hawk]

I'm pushing it back with other changes

[wispy loom]

Dope as, its not that pressing of an issue atleast for me personally though, melters arent that expensive

Really appreciate how active you are in development tho man do you ever sleep

[willow hawk]

the melter works

[wispy loom]

Oh it does?

[willow hawk]

just tested it

[wispy loom]

I couldnt get it to eat artifacts

[willow hawk]

just drag and drop ?

[wispy loom]

Oooh you drop it

[willow hawk]

the melter onto artefacts

[wispy loom]

Lul im actually a bit slow fam

I thought it was like when you hold shift and you just drag it across

Drag n drop makes sense though then you dont eat artifacts you accidentally hovered over

[dapper iron]

This is the new reshade?

[rotund moss]

call me stupid but wasnt the melter always working that way?

[wispy loom]

probably but im a big gamma noob

[willow hawk]

no

GAMMA has its own reshade

I just used a trick from Roadside

[dapper iron]

oh

[willow hawk]

to have nicer suns

and fucking shit, it was bad and there were bugs

[bitter isle]

hey, is any of the magazines mods from moddb usable with this?

[willow hawk]

that was the reason for "sun" moons

[dapper iron]

it look nice xd. I love the new sun

[willow hawk]

I just pushed a fix

I also change the red line that was a bit too much

now it's a bit more realistic, I'll change it later to something better maybe

[wispy loom]

the sun moon was dope as hell tho, just not for a realistic night, but still a cool effect

[edgy echo]

I personaly use the flares from autumn season redux, I believe they are from expedition at base, looks cool.

[dapper iron]

the daylight is awesome. photorealistic. I like it Grok. I dont know about night, is day in my game xd

[grave plover]

search in optionals for mag redux

[bitter isle]

oh, it's there, thank you very much!

[hollow loom]

Is Spleen in Skadovsk meant to not ask for tools?

[graceful iron]

yes

[hollow loom]

Why?

He can't upgrade anything past t1

t2*

[long grove]

I'm having an issue when I look at campfires and the toxic green anomalies where the game stutters really bad but my framerate does not drop. CPU 0 unchecked etc..

[willow hawk]

Try disabling CVFX?

[long grove]

how?

[willow hawk]

There's Particles in the load order (Particles Cinematic VFX + BOTZ)

At the end

Use the filter option at the bottom right of MO2 otherwise

And just untick it and boot the game

[long grove]

oh, under gamma fixes. Got it. Thanks

oh wow. I'm going to lose alot of cool stuff disabling this addon 😦 Is there a way to tweak this down somehow. Seems to only stutter for green anomalies and campfires.

[willow hawk]

It's planned to have a new particle addon

[long grove]

yeah, just loaded into game at the farm in cordon (2 campfires) No stuttering with CVFX off.

[devout rivet]

Brand new here and to stalker anomaly. I saw someone comment about grinding and it being tedious. Are the full anomaly options still present when using this mod? Can I play warfare and story mode? I guess my question is, can I enjoy most of this mod while ignoring or making the grind less?

[hollow loom]

It's not really grinding per se

[tacit yew]

where is this stash?

[hollow loom]

in the pipe

it says it right there

[tacit yew]

the pipe is big

[devout rivet]

[hollow loom]

on top

[tacit yew]

aaa oke

[hollow loom]

climb the ladder?
maybe look around the sides?

check bushes, trees

[tacit yew]

then u have no idea neither

[hollow loom]

nope

i have no idea where that is on the map either

image too smol

[devout rivet]

Agroprom?

[tacit yew]

yes

i think i found it np

[desert robin]

With a lot of recent additions such as changes to reshade etc should a complete install be done?

[rotund moss]

he didnt say that in #📢announcements but i do that every time anyway just to be save

tho it binds me to only update every few days because of bot flaggin

[hollow loom]

Grok I am starting a new char

Since the save was from RC1

[willow hawk]

There's "grindy" and actual good progression.

The only part of gamma that is grindy is getting a belt full of endgame 100% Artefacts, which you don't need to enjoy the game

[hollow loom]

I will keep you posted if busy hands persists on a new save

Although! Using DX10 instead of 11 has prevented any crashes

[willow hawk]

[hollow loom]

As of today

[graceful iron]

rads can start hurting limbs now ?

[rotund moss]

was confused at first yes, but apparently yes

[graceful iron]

thats a bit much isnt it?

early limb healing is already a nightmare

when you dont have a doc nearby at least

[wispy loom]

limping my way down town

walking fast, bloodsuckers pass

and im rostok bound

[rotund moss]

kinda but i sort of "know" where the rads are early game and just avoid them like the plague they are

[graceful iron]

ik that, but there is always that one time you forget or run into one of the new dynamic ones for a bit and get a small amount of rads and from what i seen it does quite a bit of limb damage

[rotund moss]

i actually have more problems with chemical and thermal anomaly fields lately, my masks break in like a few seconds and then i die

[graceful iron]

what is confusing me is i didnt notice grok mentioning this change in any of the to-do or changelogs ?

[rotund moss]

i didnt see it being mentioned as well

but everytime i go over 100 msv and cough i lose a bit of arm/leg/head/torsor

[hollow loom]

how good is the magazine optional mod

buggy at all?

[rotund moss]

not really buggy, but you get a lot more ammo, if you know how

[hollow loom]

uhhhhhhh

do merchants sell magazines

[rotund moss]

yes

[hollow loom]

HMMMMMM

[graceful iron]

grok said he just does not like the mod and we found that it breaks the ammo progression and economy

[hollow loom]

i mean to be fair

[rotund moss]

thing is you can just take out the mag of the weapon and there is bound to be more ammo

[hollow loom]

killing stalkers above rostok nets you a solid 7k from a decent firefight

[long grove]

ok guys. I'm having a serious problem with stashes. I've unlocked at least 8 and I'm only showing one stash icon on the map. What am I doing wrong? Please help.

[hollow loom]

and 15+ if there's more than 10 casualties

[graceful iron]

did you look all over the zone in the pda?

[hollow loom]

zoom out rcb

see if they're in different areas

[rotund moss]

stash locations are kind of random getting them does not mean you get them at your current location, they can be EVERYWHERE in the zone

[long grove]

zoomed out all the way, the one that is showing is super obvious

[hollow loom]

they're somewhere

either green or white icon

the white ones can be hard to see

they're also smaller than the green icons

[rotund moss]

we dont have purple (unique/highest tier) icons for stashes, right?

[graceful iron]

no

its replaced by green

[rotund moss]

kk

[long grove]

I'll zoom in on each area to max and look for stash icons, but I'm telling you they aren't there

[hollow loom]

go into voice channel

and share ur screen

i'll look at ur pda with you

[long grove]

k give me a moment

[graceful iron]

if you can just check and make sure tell me so i can pin it for grok to take a look at, but i never seen this happen before

i started a new run on RC3 and i am getting stashes just fine

[rotund moss]

handheld flashlight are still buggin out their batteries btw 😦

[hollow loom]

has anyone used NPC Loot Claim optional mod

[nimble cargo]

Does anyone know the chances of finding an AUG A1 somewhere, or if its a get lucky type of deal?

[rotund moss]

yes

prevents you from ratting

[hollow loom]

how do u like it

[rotund moss]

its okay, you miss out on a LOT of loot after a firefight you had to heal in tho

[hollow loom]

hmmmm yeah

[rotund moss]

since they claim everything you did not kill your self

[hollow loom]

feels like it'd be really hard to determine which is stealing and not

does it mark the bodies or sumn?

[rotund moss]

like said prevents you from ratting

[rotund moss]

they will warn you 3 times and then shoot you

[hollow loom]

if u get close or

?

[rotund moss]

like you get a text on the left of your screen "hey thats mine!"

[hollow loom]

aaaahhh ok

[rotund moss]

if you try to loot the body

[hollow loom]

and you have to drop it or

[rotund moss]

you can loot the scraps after they are done looting but you have to wait from further away or else they will never loot

only thing i dont like

they also loot the corpses you killed

fuckers realy

[graceful iron]

https://tenor.com/view/immersion-schizo-vtuber-immersional-damage-meme-gif-24984030

[hollow loom]

yeah see

the vice versa i hate

i guess it's just a thing of like

[rotund moss]

So it works like this:
You run into a firefight and friendly stalkers help you out, you can loot everything you killed, but everything they killed will be claimed by them, they warn you a few times and then start shooting if you keep trying

[hollow loom]

YOU gotta be the one to dome them if they steal

[rotund moss]

so if you loot your kills and then wait a bit further away you can loot the scraps

[graceful iron]

too bad you will lose rep for that

[rotund moss]

you will also lose rep if memory serves right if you "steal"

[hollow loom]

If they could code it so they didn't take your loot I'd be all for it

[rotund moss]

anyway since they can loot my kills anyway i turned it off again and went back to be a happy rat

i would put a ratjam emote here but i dont have it

[graceful iron]

what about a lurking cat?

[rotund moss]

works i guess?

[graceful iron]

[north turret]

What is the difference between the 50 ru flashlight and the 300 ru flashlight in the character creation menu?

[rotund moss]

non both are bugged

[graceful iron]

dont take the 300 one, its not intended to be there

and it causes a bug

[rotund moss]

the 50 was added for a cheap flashlight and cause the bug as well @graceful iron (tho both of them are 50 points for me o-O)

[graceful iron]

[north turret]

Bugged how? Should I just take the headlamp?

[hollow loom]

we got it fixed 👐

the stashes thing

[graceful iron]

no, just dont take one and then put it back in the loadout menu

[rotund moss]

the bug is that you will lose the battery in it, if you "put it back" the normal way

[graceful iron]

what was it?

[hollow loom]

the stashes tab on the pda map was disabled, but it still shows green stashes that way

so only his white ones were hidden

[graceful iron]

[north turret]

Got it thanks

[hollow loom]

weird shit

[rotund moss]

i thought of that the moment you said him to go into voice

[long grove]

@hollow loom

[rotund moss]

dont take it personal every little bug kinda has to be traced

[long grove]

thanks for the help bro @hollow loom

[hollow loom]

np man

[rotund moss]

but yeah clicking tabs by accident is kind of a thing

[hollow loom]

thirdcain does the npc loot claim addon apply if ur hidden from friendly stalkers

like if they don't see you loot

[rotund moss]

they claim everything they kill

no ratting allowed

[hollow loom]

so even if they can't see me, they'll know

[rotund moss]

<<<tested it for hours

yes

[hollow loom]

😢

no general sam playthrough

[rotund moss]

they can be bleeding out on the floor and be still mad about you trying to sneak away with their loot

[rotund moss]

priorities realy

[hollow loom]

just like tarkov

[rotund moss]

basicly yes

[hollow loom]

Accessible Zone off won't break anything, right?

[rotund moss]

you have to either find pdas with routes, find anomaly maps for all route of the area or buy routes from traders

i like to play that way

[hollow loom]

same

i just wanna make sure there's not some strange mod relying on it being on

[rotund moss]

not to my knowledge tho there are some added routes that might not get unlocked right away

[hollow loom]

darkscape > cordon shortcut

I wish I could trade the SKS for Loner loadout with the Karabiner you get from Clear Sky....

Or I could just change faction, actually 😮

[rotund moss]

Kar98?

yeah it can be a realy good weapon, as specialy if you upgrade it at foresters

i do enjoy me a good rem700 as well tho

[hollow loom]

My dream kit is a long-range sniper with a GL launcher and a saiga/mag fed shotgun with 10 rounds

SCAR-H and Vepr seems to be the niche for that

ALTHOUGH that Forester sniper looks 🔥

[rotund moss]

i think i gonna start a new run as CS

just to get a kar early and upgrade it

[desert robin]

Why do mutant hits always seem to get the legs first?

@willow hawk Also every npc is auto-identified now? (not sure if a bug or intended) And what does "on_smarts_only" do instead of full offline combat?

[dapper iron]

Why "spawn repair kits" its turn off in ZCP? any reason?

[rotund moss]

to not spawn them outside of marked stashes?

[rotund moss]

the actor is basicly a pair of feet for the rest of the zone, which invisible hitboxes aboth them

they aim at and see "the position of your feet" if i understood the dude reworking NPC AI a few years back right

[sharp roost]

Mutants have a foot fetish confirmed

[blissful iron]

Can we get the mosin nagant upgrade tree to match this beauty?

Door hinge skeletal stock, under barrel tube shotgun, doorstop bipod. Tacticool mosin plz.

[pliant cradle]

Are accessories meant to be super weak, or is 1% more of a difference than it seems?

[hollow loom]

yeah the stats look fucked up

supposedly the values are all skewed visually

[pliant cradle]

Everything is like this that I can buy, it all seems basically useless

[strong pivot]

@willow hawk I know it's more of an issue with the original game's assets, but do you see it feasible to fix the foliage cover? In the future

[hollow loom]

foliage cover?

u mean AI shooting thru foliage?

there's a mod for that on moddb

[strong pivot]

It happens pretty often where there's like a lot of bushes and foliage around where there's no way you could see through them and they beam you through it anyway

[rotund moss]

stand in a bush in gamma your self

[strong pivot]

Could you drop it in #old-suggest ?

[rotund moss]

watch them going nuts of not know where or how to shot you

we already using that kind of addon T_T

[strong pivot]

Man I wish I coulda clipped what just happened, it doesn't seem like it's there

What addon is it?

[hollow loom]

i've learned to just take cover as soon as shots come my way

[rotund moss]

let me say it again

step inside a bush your self

profit

if they are in the bush and you dont they will shoot you

they will not shoot if there is a bush between you and them

they will also not shoot if you are inside the bush

they do throw nades at times to flush you out

well actually i think that has more to do with the timing of them throwing the nade and you running into the bush

[strong pivot]

I've tried getting in bushes with varying success

The one time it worked really well is while proning in the swamps

Where the reeds aren't very thick at the base

I'm not too sure how their detection works but i think if you're like, past the center of the bush facing towards em then they'll see you

It's just the edges are generally smaller than they look laterally

[strong ice]

Sometimes when I loot PDA's off of stalkers and I glance through them I see certain messages on them talking about "strange signals", and I was wondering if they actually correlate to something I can find, or if they're just random and mean nothing.

[rotund moss]

i did find stuff not sure if that is still a thing tho

[old geode]

Spent like a good 1 real time hour searching for a source of a strange signal in wild territory and though the. RF was beeping like I am on top of it I couldn't find anything

[strong ice]

There is a message that pops up in the bottom left sometimes talking about RF coordinates, and I know those are real, (Grok even mentions them in the #│📚manual) So that might be what you're talking about, as they are sometimes really hard to find. but the ones I'm talking about are specifically mentioned only in random PDAs you loot from dead Stalkers.

[rotund moss]

all i can say is i did find stuff, but it either was hard to find, or it was not worth the effort, some did take a bit of parcours to reach

tho i do have the suspicion that they do not /did not always spawn

[hollow loom]

Uhhhh

It's 21:23 and I'm still getting irradiated

🤔

[old geode]

No those are parts of the RF tasks they are tricky but I always find the package. I am talking specifically about the strange signal from the looted pdas

[strong ice]

Okay cool, just making sure we're talking about the same thing. In that case I think I'll go run around Garbage looking for that signal, it'd be cool if it leads to a stash or something.

[strong ice]

Yeah, sometimes the RF coordinate tasks are really painful to do, and can the reward can be lackluster after that, I remember getting one all the way in the far eastern reaches of Darkscape, then spending about 30 minutes running around with my RF reciever going nuts before I finally found the package (ontop of some rocks). and it just had some Brunox, and Glue, and a Ramrod or something.

[old geode]

How can I cure my sleep deprivation? no matter how much I sleep the sleep bar is never full when I wake up. It's either half or less.
It becomes annoying when the screen keeps blurring 5 minutes after waking up

[strong ice]

Sleep bar?

[old geode]

Part of better stats

[strong ice]

Sounds like a bug to me

[rotund moss]

usually happens if you "woke up" early, you either pump your self full with caffeine or take a nap after a while

also note that taking sleeping pills can and will mess up your sleeping schedule, so only use them to sleep if your really really need to

[strong pivot]

Anyone using the teleport companions thing? It doesn't seem to be working for me

It do be bound to J tho

[rotund moss]

only works if, the debug mode is active

[strong pivot]

Ah, dang

[old geode]

Hmm I only took them once and it said something like I got killed while sleeping and later even if I sleep for like 13h the sleep bar is usually missing like 2-3 ticks

[rotund moss]

where did you sleep to get killed in your sleep? never happened to me o-O

[old geode]

I was near butcher in the hangar

At garbage

[rotund moss]

been a while since i have slept there

anyway keeping a healthy sleep schedule is hard, and missing one or two bars after waking up is not that uncommon

i usually try to make sure i have a somewhat full food and water bar, to prevent my self to wake up early

or take damage the moment i wake up

and try to let my actor sleep for 7-8hours if possible

i usually average out at one bar missing

[old geode]

Yeah it's really the blurring that gets to me. There should also be more sources to energise you don't know if there is coffee or something like that still in early game and will be a long time before I cross into red forest

[rotund moss]

there is no coffee in the zone, one of the tipps during loading screens even makes fun of that fact

also note that red forest is affected by a psyfield in gamma

[old geode]

😩

[rotund moss]

basiclly everything aboth army warehouse needs a psyhelmet

the one you get from the eggheads

[old geode]

Got the Psy but still didn't do the yantar lab

[rotund moss]

you dont have to if you got the helmet

[old geode]

Trying to get my hand on an expert toolkit for exo

Ah didn't know that

[rotund moss]

the helmet is to protect you, fuck the other rookies

[old geode]

Also the mobs that populate the labs are different from og anomaly?

I met some dude that spawns like zombies in x-16

[rotund moss]

the underground levels have a "predetermine" spawn pool as far as i understood it

how ever zombified stalkers got removed in gamma so you will only find snorks, bloodsuckers and "normal" zombies there

question is how many of them

[old geode]

Because I remember from playing soc that there was a pseudo inside

[rotund moss]

good example would be the jupiter tunnel, you can face up to 3 chimeras at the end

but they usually either only spawn as one or they outright dont spawn

[rotund moss]

the one inside the lab is extremely rare, but the one outside in the tunnel system then you leave is static, you can just avoid it tho

[old geode]

Ah k. Than that's lab x18

The one in dark valley

[rotund moss]

dark valley? yeah that one is static as well

as well as 2-5 poltergeists

up to 2 controllers and 3 burers

[old geode]

Yes got 3 a few hours ago

[rotund moss]

and 2 bloodsuckers

[old geode]

And lots of zombies

Which I didn't remember seeing in og anomaly or coc

[rotund moss]

i think the zombies are new

[old geode]

Yes thought so or figured out that some of the poltergeist was spawning them 😑

[frank urchin]

are default population settings in ZCP optimal?

[mossy seal]

did the animations for skinning a mutant get changed?

[hollow loom]

yes

FDDA added all the fancy animations that have your hands visible

Caused a ton of issues so it's been disabled

[meager dove]

How to turn on debug mode when starting from exe DX11 in MO2?

[hollow loom]

launcher first

[desert robin]

For the most part yes, but It depends man. Personally ive played gamma enough to tweak it to my pref. I found too many stalkers and you can end up with too much loot, making the game too easy so i sort of reduce the stalkers but increase their squads, because i also increase mutants a bit to cause more resource drain and increase difficulty, and bump their squad variables so sometimes i will get a big pack of dogs or sometimes it will just be 1, it depends how you play around to find something that suits your play style.

Less stalkers but in bigger groups, and more mutants but varies between a few, more than a few, a lot, and a platoon 😄

[rotund moss]

also note that changing populations has the most impact on the start of a new run, since the populations will be put in at the start

[desert robin]

The best way to check stalkers is when you spawn it will say 'there are X stalkers in the zone' Personally i go for anywhere between 500-600 but i think default gives about 850ish

[meager dove]

in guide says what i should run DX11 exe instead launcher, can i start from launcher without any issues?

[rotund moss]

somewhere around 800-850

[hollow loom]

yes

[desert robin]

Also i highly recommend tweaking your drop rates for suits and really anything you can in ZCP and other MCM settings to be less if you want a more challenging playthrough.

[meager dove]

I try, thx

[frank urchin]

thx, gonna make fresh install and play with settings then

[desert robin]

@willow hawk Is trader destockifier compatible if i enable it in optionals? Looks like other things over-write it.. Will this be an issue?

[quick cloak]

what does "kick" mean? how do i kick?

[sharp roost]

is it intended dushman can't buy watches/cards

because idk where to sell these as merc

[quick cloak]

Sell them at freedom base

[rotund moss]

press f on close mutants

if they are in knife range they are in kick range

[north turret]

Hi, i would like to know if the graphical settings can be tuned further or should they be left as is ?

[tired hound]

what are ammo parts used for if anything at all?

[rotund moss]

making old granades from underbarrel nade launcher into new ones

unless that got changed in RC3

[tired hound]

got changed pretty sure

and why would I repair 40mil nades when I have never found any of the rotary nade launchers ever

[rotund moss]

underbarrel nade launchers....

[tired hound]

those work just as well with old nades

always have

another Q: do the semi auto bloop cannons no longer spawn in gamma?

[rotund moss]

the fuck are bloop cannons?

[tired hound]

exactly what they sound like

[rotund moss]

if you mean the thumber or the six shooter nade launcher no they dont spawn in gamma

[tired hound]

https://tenor.com/view/dies-from-cringe-pink-skull-cgi-render-gif-23154103

[rotund moss]

starts diggin a hole

also

[willow hawk]

It's fine

[willow hawk]

Issue is that there's no old grenades in GAMMA

I have to track down what's the source of ammo parts

[strong ice]

Do you mean where you can find ammo parts? Cause I usually just find them on dead stalkers.

[willow hawk]

That's easily removed

But I'm sure some items contain them as parts

[strong ice]

I’m pretty sure I’ve also seen them spawn in stashes.

[rotund moss]

are you really sure about it?

i basiclly ONLY find the old ones, it just doesnt make a big difference since we only have under-barrel nade launchers anyway

[willow hawk]

Ok

[rotund moss]

btw after playing for the whole night: no busy hands so far, some random CTD after saving every few hours, but no corruption after restarting and loading the save on which it crashed on DX10

oh and 40mm nades have ammo parts as parts, if that helps to narrow it down

[willow hawk]

When these happen could you upload your save and mdmp file ?

[bitter isle]

Hey, I cannot seem to go from Cordon North Military checkpoint to Garbage

My screen darkens when I approach the doorframe, goes back up and I'm still in the same spot and can't go through the door frame

[willow hawk]

save reload

[bitter isle]

ah, that simple, huh

[rotund moss]

sure thing, just point me into the right direction for the mdmp file tho, my tired brain cant remember to save its live where that was. im going to nap a bit for now tho

[willow hawk]

next to the log

[wary field]

Do trader's stocks take some time to update after you reach the next supply level or should it be instant?

[misty oasis]

they take an ingame day or 2 i think

[molten tartan]

I started my current run with FDDA but when I untick it in my mod load order I cannot load my savegame anymore. I get a CTD with an error about animations. Is there a way to fix that?

[graceful iron]

post the crash log, you can find it in anomaly/appdata/logs

So is there a way to repair weapon parts, or do I just have to keep field stripping guns I find until I find a part in good condition?

I've been playing for like 10 hours and I still only have my starter pistol, a 1911. Every gun I find is in shit condition, I can't buy guns from traders, I have done so many quests but their stock hasn't changed

[willow hawk]

Right click part > details

It will tell you which tool you need to repair it

On the tool is written the % the part needs to be, to be eligible to repairs

Guns parts = 60%
Armors parts = 50%

[willow hawk]

#│📚manual

You can repair an AK on day 2 or 3 if you know the mechanism

Collect parts above 60%.
Collect a gun with a barrel above 60%.
Buy gun cleaning kit, clean the barrel in the weapon (right click > clean parts).
Repair parts to 100%
Drag and drop parts on the gun
Clean the gun condition to 100%

Got an AK 12 repaired on day 2 on my last save
