i cant repair anything with this

[ember herald]

You make ammo with it

Not repairing anything

Wait no

I'm dumb again

[ember herald]

Yea I misread lol

I'd probably reload the game if that's the case

[topaz berry]

ive got 2 of those

from a quest

for the army

[quick cloak]

where can i change the part quality on drop? i remember there was a panel to config the drop part to 25 50 75 100% but can nott find it anywhere now

[quick ravine]

gameplay - prog diff - full-percentage system for parts < turning it off I think gives you 25 50 75 100?

[north turret]

i have only one question

where in the fuck can you find the archianomaly

(last dawn)

(swamps)

[molten tartan]

I found a gun with a red dot sight mounted on the side rail. How do I change to that sight? The kb_scope keybind from the options menu doesn't work nor does the "change scope" keybind in MCM?!

[red orbit]

left side of map, right on top of CS base

[north turret]

I Swear ive been there 100 times and never saw anything

it's not on the tower either is it

[red orbit]

Search up discord there are answers for this many times. That anomaly is called smth with stumper? umm dont remember exactly name, but its grav anomalies in there.

Below tower and above CS base

[fringe radish]

Bog Pounder, take the south exit out of the CS base

The detector should be sitting east-ish side of the bog pounder. hold F and search for it.

[north turret]

Thank you

[olive bear]

whats this

i dont want to get fucked

[fringe radish]

I have one too, I decided not to use it.

[olive bear]

i feel like this will make a chimeraspawn in front of me whenever it feels like

[slow topaz]

[modern fern]

Just got back into gamma from a 2 month or so break. Noticed almost all memorized spots no longer generate loot of any kind. For example, the jeep near the construction concrete slabs and the acid lake in garbage use to contain a kit of some kind, then changed to junk like boots, radio, broken detector. Now however there’s nothing, was most specific item spwn spots removed?

[fringe radish]

I think most loot is randomised. Ground or otherwise.

[royal oxide]

grenade launcher keybind

[olive bear]

this is knot boys

[north turret]

I fucking found it, at night too

[olive bear]

fucking

hell

[fringe radish]

Gg

[fringe radish]

Interesting...

Throws Knot as far as possible

[olive bear]

ima hold on to know till i got some big boy artifact detectors

there is no way filty tier 1 artifcas can keep feeding this bad boy

[fringe radish]

I'm surprised a lot of these perk artifacts don't have rads

[olive bear]

low tier artifcats are radless

i didnt get into melting but i think thats where the fun will come

[fiery jasper]

a quick question are all of the pip scopes labeled by their yellow names? so i know which ones to avoid

[latent otter]

Anyone played LTTZ as mercenary? I talk to Aslan and then Call of the North immediately fails, my standing with loners is -20 btw, I do not yet have psyhelmet, I wear CS armor tried with faction both patch attached and not attached, I know it's vanilla bug but could anyone elaborate how to fix it ?

[cunning kindle]

So has anyone else had problems with finding packages with the RF receiver? Because currently I'm searching for one in South Cordon, but I've been all over and the receiver didn't pick anything up.

[fringe radish]

I wouldn't call them "Low tier"

[strange moon]

How do i fix the zoom-in issue?

[junior night]

is FDDA rework enabled by default as of late?

[willow hawk]

Where did you get it btw ? It's one of the strongest artefact of the game

[strange moon]

I once randomly found a knot in one random playthrough

[willow hawk]

I randomized and decreased free loot because out of hands before and promoted "game knowledge" which I actively fight to avoid free loot without taking risks

Risk / reward is quite important

[willow hawk]

Yes

[strange moon]

So my screen keeps being zoomed in

[willow hawk]

It can be tricky sometimes

[modern fern]

I noticed at one point when having a shotgun equip I run with it pointed down but randomly it’s held horizontally with the barrel to the sky, which I like. Any way to make the second variety consistent? Or did I enable something by mistake

[quick ravine]

so it will be an item on the ground somewhere, 2 I found were both in bushes. You can hold F to look for its name (it will be a package).

The RF can be a bit problematic, for me it worked if I have it out with a bolt, and then pressing the caps lock key to put it away and out again. It will beep faster the closer you are

if you have it out with a pistol or a knife, it wont work in my experience

[cunning kindle]

It has always worked fine in the past. Just can't find the signal for this particular package.

[fringe radish]

Why is Xenotech able to do all upgrades?

[olive bear]

i shit you not it was in a rf radio stash loot in wild teritory

extra loot

but i am too much of a pleb to feed its hunger

[quick ravine]

I got a Seraphim from one of those too

even if it saves you, game takes a life out of your Ironman tho

[olive bear]

ouf

[quick cloak]

is there any mod that make anomalies more visible? besides VFX the gas anomalies tank my fps too much

[graceful iron]

this loot has been decreased since RC1 as it was way too much and can give a lot of useful items like ammo and in rare cases, basic, gunsmithing and med tool kits

[fallow sequoia]

good tradeoff since artefacts don't sell anymore

[willow hawk]

Is he ?

[willow hawk]

Save reload

[strange moon]

Did that 2 times, no results

[willow hawk]

Disable weapon down when running

It's an addon in MO2

[graceful iron]

yes, their names are in yellow

[fiery jasper]

tyy

save me 8k

[willow hawk]

Ah fuck I need to fix that

[olive bear]

dang

[elder trout]

Hello Everybody! I had a couple questions about randomization:

1. How is randomization handled in this game? Is it per playthrough? Per stash opening? Per Looting a corpse?
2. Is Every playthrough different then? I started up 2 EFP playthroughs before GAMMA and there were zombies close to the east at the road. But On Gamma I started 2 new games in Cordon and it was both with rainy weather and no zombies.
3. Does loot refill in containers? 3/4 of the stashes I open are empty?

[graceful iron]

only marked stashes have loot in them
mutant zombies can spawn anywhere but they have as much chance as most other mutants basically
stalker zombifieds only spawn once per playthrough in their 2 bases (AA complex in jupiter and sawmill in zaton) as they are disabled in zcp mcm

[wispy loom]

Updated today, last time I updated was the 14th but I seem to have lost like 40% of my FPS somehow

anyone else whos lost a lot of performance lately?

[desert robin]

I've gained performance...

[wispy loom]

Just realized I had Vegas Pro open as well might be that sucking up performance

Wasnt rendering or nuffin tho

[graceful iron]

[wispy loom]

cat pls dont judge

[desert robin]

[wispy loom]

i promise my IQ is higher than 65

[graceful iron]

dont worry i would be the last to judge, i have done some stupid things

[wispy loom]

plus it didnt help

wheres my fps

[fringe radish]

It went up to at least Advanced upgrades.

[graceful iron]

he can do some basic ones and one or 2 medium tier ones, its the smoother progression mod i believe

all technicians

[fringe radish]

You're right

MB

[graceful iron]

not for all items i think? i have not tested it

[fringe radish]

I got the PMC AK74, that only did basic

[wispy loom]

nvm my fps is back somehow

[graceful iron]

did you restart pc or something?

[wispy loom]

not even

didnt even restart game

[graceful iron]

that works i guess

[wispy loom]

bro i have no clue i went from 50 fps in army warehouses back to the usual 90

[quick ravine]

ah for me it happens sometimes during free zoom and it stays after until i alttab

[wispy loom]

oh that might have been it

or maybe i was just stuck in an anomaly of some kind

[graceful iron]

try playing on fullscreen and disable fullscreen optimization #old-framerate-optimisation , and dont tab out or alt tab often

[royal oxide]

Is there a command to display just FPS without other info?

[topaz berry]

is scar a good artefact?

[graceful iron]

press home and click settings and click show fps

[royal oxide]

thanks!

[graceful iron]

you can try using it when you really need to heal but it can cause your stalker to do weird things

[topaz berry]

like?

[graceful iron]

shoot his gun, shout weird things, lose psy health and literally fart

[topaz berry]

oh

[graceful iron]

you can equip it for a bit to help with healing but dont keep it on

it can even make you start hearing things in-game

[topaz berry]

it weights 0.4kg

so i could have it on me

[fringe radish]

How do you clean the barrel while it's on the gun?

[graceful iron]

right click the gun and maintain

[fringe radish]

I don't see a maintain

[graceful iron]

you need a cleaning kit for the specific gun if the barrel is only dirty

[fringe radish]

Oh.

[graceful iron]

if the barrel is worn or worse you need a repair kit and it will consume one charge to replace the barrel

[fringe radish]

For some reason, the Carabineer needs a historic kit?

[topaz berry]

yep

[fringe radish]

for a modern shotgun?

[graceful iron]

it is just a shotgun, but its a semi auto so i am not sure if this was intended or overlooked

[fringe radish]

eh

[topaz berry]

you can craft it easily

[fringe radish]

It's nit picking at this point. what's more frustrating is that I got 3 drug kits, and not a single basic kit...

[topaz berry]

oh

thats the problem

[fringe radish]

Yeah.

[topaz berry]

i am looking for a expert kit for like 6 hours

[quick ravine]

just keep doing quests and hit marked stashes in the south, youll be swimming in basic tools

[fringe radish]

You say that, but I've cleared out 2 packages, and 6 or so stashes, + a green stash.

[graceful iron]

if you are neutral with loners you can give hip a toz194 and 20 buckshot for a basic toolkit

[quick ravine]

6-7 stashes and no basic tools is a bit unlucky but nothing crazy, I think

[fringe radish]

I picked the quest up, just gotta find the bits, time for some swamp prowling

[quick ravine]

the shotgun is carried by bandits somewhat often

good luck :)

[fringe radish]

Didn't she used to want the bison variant?

[graceful iron]

its changed in gamma

and she does not give the suit anymore

[fringe radish]

I don't give a damn, where tool

[graceful iron]

good

gamma do be making us go crazy because of some toolkits

[fringe radish]

where tool

[elder trout]

What is the point of these empty stashes then? Like the one I find in Cordon?

[graceful iron]

stashes are known to most advanced players of anomaly, so if they had items players would just rush to them for early easy loot. currently just do quests and loot dead bodies for stash locations and that will spawn stashes in these empty ones

[elder trout]

Oh wait I think I meant the normal metal chest you find.. sorry. These were 4/5 times empty. Do they regenerate loot or?

[graceful iron]

the ones you break ?

[elder trout]

No like the metal chest in the underground trader room in Cordon?

[graceful iron]

thats a stash

its empty, it can spawn a stash if you get stash locations and they are at that specific box

[elder trout]

like this one => https://youtu.be/0qlRMSKCGgE?t=64

for me these are empty 😦

[willow hawk]

It's Historic + shotgun kit

basically, clean and repair long tubes and pump / bolt action stuff

[elder trout]

I only get loot from the wooden boxes you can destroy, the small container that you can knife the lit of. But these metal containers are always empty

[graceful iron]

thats clear sky , this is stalker anomaly

[willow hawk]

They aren't

it's random

[timber jasper]

When i want to update, is it enough to use the installer and klick on "update" or should i realy download the fixes from the linked sites?

[graceful iron]

what fixes ? you can just update gamma data and then update gamma installation in the installer

[timber jasper]

Like the fix for Crook's Identification UI that is posted in the "announcements" section^^

[graceful iron]

no you dont have to do anything with that, just update through the installer

[timber jasper]

ahh great thank you

[quick ravine]

I really felt the difference between FMJ and AP ammo when I used 9x19 ammo with my vityaz. However now that I've upgraded to an AK Beard, I'm kinda doing the same with both ammo types vs mercs and military. I guess only use it against exos? Haven't seen any yet so maybe I just didn't progress enough?

[elder trout]

so I went too sleep on my first day. But I woke up now in the middle of then ight 330 AM... what do I do now? 😄 I don't want to wander into the night :S

[thorny hazel]

either use sleeping pills, run around your base and pick up quests / sort your stuff until the morning or go out at night. At about 5 am you can usually see well enough even without a flashlight

[elder trout]

Thanks!

Another thing, why do my tasks suddenly fail? Are there time limits on these quests?

[willow hawk]

Quest Giver dies

[elder trout]

Lol 😄 this game is so dynamic. Do these quest givers respawn?

Also, for some reason, all my inputs are locked, can only move or open my pda

[willow hawk]

save reload$

[elder trout]

is it a random bug or? Or can I prevent it?

or do you mean for the quest giver dying?

[willow hawk]

Its a random bug yes

Do you play with mags ?

Basically try not to launch an animation when another animation is on going

[elder trout]

No the mags stuff is a bit to much micro for me

Ok i'll try not to do it 🙂

And do quest givers respawn then or?

[thorny hazel]

new stalkers with new quests will eventually spawn

pick up tasks from traders or tasks that you can do fairly quickly

[quick ravine]

Is there a video showcasing the graphics in gamma so I can spam my friend with it to get him to play?

[graceful iron]

not really but there is a trailer that includes some graphics

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCHhYtk17wE&t=8s

[quick ravine]

ty hahah

[graceful iron]

use a sleeping bag and sleep for more than you need, and if you find a bed spread keep it in your inventory, all that has less chance of waking up too early

[fringe radish]

Does the firestarter kit (Not matches) have infinite use?

[graceful iron]

no, sadly not

[fringe radish]

Just the one?

[graceful iron]

had to test that and found out its literally just one use

but it can be used in the rain. one thing tho, even if you have matches and its not raining the game will use the kit before matches which is kind of stupid

[fringe radish]

Laaaame

Oh well, time to stock up on matches

Why does Librarian, the clear sky food guy, remain at supply lvl 1 while the other traders go up in level?

[graceful iron]

food traders dont have anything else to offer

barkeep and librarian for example

[fringe radish]

Got it.

[topaz berry]

can i get to jupiter without going through red forest ?

playing as millitary

[graceful iron]

radar and then pripyat and then jupiter , but no red forest is the best route you could probably take especially as a military

[topaz berry]

lmao

i cant

[graceful iron]

?

[topaz berry]

i die when i try to get through the gate that leads to northern forest

[graceful iron]

you need a psy helmet

[topaz berry]

where te forester lives

[graceful iron]

sakharov gives them

[topaz berry]

i disabled both duga antenas

[graceful iron]

then you should have a psy helmet in your inventory ?

[topaz berry]

i was talking about the monolith

[graceful iron]

oh

kill them ?

[topaz berry]

i tried

really

i have a exosuit and they still somehow 2 shot me

[graceful iron]

whats your suit? and whats your gun and ammo?

it could be a heavy gun one of them has

[graceful iron]

try to use grenades and try to use cover more

that helmet is probably the reason why

it has bad ballistics

if your head goes to zero you die

[topaz berry]

hmm maybe thats the problem

[graceful iron]

you have access to heavy repair kit, get a better helmet

[topaz berry]

what would be a great alternative?

[graceful iron]

sphere 12 is nice

good rads and decent ballistics for a heavy helmet

[topaz berry]

gonna try to get it

so i cant pay anyone to get me to jupiter?

[graceful iron]

as a military, no. unless you disguise and take the freedom guide to jupiter

the military trader has some sort of guide system i think? i never tried it so idk how it works

i know you need to be a high rank for him to even allow you to use the guide thing

[topaz berry]

he can take you to cordon or the yantar bunker

he is trash

[torn berry]

hes also really expensive

[graceful iron]

wow that is kinda bad

[torn berry]

for a short range guide

[graceful iron]

also you can disguise and use the bar guide, he should be able to take you to jupiter i believe

[topaz berry]

the duty bar?

[graceful iron]

yes

[topaz berry]

i can go there without disguise

[graceful iron]

but its filled with clear sky and loners usually thats why you need disguise

[topaz berry]

oh

i can kill them

wont he be hostile?

[graceful iron]

the guide is a loner

[thorny hazel]

I think he goes to Zaton, and you technically don't need a disguise to talk to him, but you will spawn in Skadovsk and the loners there will be hostile

[topaz berry]

oooh

thats great

[torn berry]

is there a way to forcefully change hip's faction? cuz she isnt shooting duty, freedom, nothin

[thorny hazel]

there's a fairly new mod that makes loners and clear sky neutral to military in duty base

[graceful iron]

she is a loner, what did you expect

[torn berry]

i expected companions to align to your friend/foe sides

[graceful iron]

was it added to gamma?

[thorny hazel]

yes

[graceful iron]

i guess that works then

[topaz berry]

well

thanks guys

i hate red forest

[graceful iron]

dont we all? but you have to go past it at some point

with some time and a few runs through it you will get used to it

[topaz berry]

i know

[torn berry]

shotgun with slugs usually makes red forest bearable

[topaz berry]

i finished vanilla anomaly once

[torn berry]

good pen, good flesh dmg, all around

[topaz berry]

ive found this saiga

idk why its called dushmans

since i found it on a random merc

[torn berry]

your gonna have to replace at least one of those parts with a kit

since replacing them with the menu wont give you condition

and it needs to be like 10% to start repairing it with sprays

[topaz berry]

yep i ik ik

[graceful iron]

its better this way, you can get more condition by using the kit only once with some bonus item

i usually min/max usage of kits since they are not so cheap

[torn berry]

same

[graceful iron]

and i use them to install my own upgrades

wut?

[torn berry]

?

[graceful iron]

fye said something about dynamic tasks and deleted it

moved to feedback i think

[torn berry]

oh i think he put it on feedback

[fringe radish]

Is there an end to the "Go to quest giver and do quest, repeat" quest line?

[graceful iron]

yes

spoil?

[fringe radish]

nah

[graceful iron]

ok

[fringe radish]

It just seems repetitive.

[graceful iron]

it is somewhat

[fringe radish]

Then again, I haven't gone north of Agprom

[north turret]

Hi, can the graphical settings be tuned up further or should they be left as is ? Talking about the render distance/lighting sliders in this case

[olive bear]

i am back to x19 for this quest but i cant find any files

[wispy loom]

When starting new GAMMA save Story mode is unticked by default, should I tick it to get the storylines still or is it still enabled?

[graceful iron]

it should be ticked by default

yes you need it for most story quests

[wispy loom]

aight it was unticked by default but i did swap to zombie real quick just to check that which might have unticked not sure

[willow hawk]

If you have a proper PC why not

[graceful iron]

you can probably move the render distance and lighting sliders as well but for light settings try the mcm settings for tonemap

[north turret]

Thanks, yeah just wanted to be sure, i got plenty of frames to spare

[elder trout]

Is there something like a hideout stash? where I can put my personal belongings?

[graceful iron]

usually these are not in the same area as the main ones, keep looking in the other rooms and hold f

[graceful iron]

you can put your items in any stash, you can also right click a backpack in your inventory and create a stash yourself anywhere you want and put items in it

to pick up the backpack you need to take all items from the created stash

[elder trout]

Oh and is the loot inside safe? doens't it get stolen?

also what is the deal with the helicopters?

[graceful iron]

you enabled heli patrols ?

its an option in the game settings

for a first time you probably should not enable them

[graceful iron]

its safe

[elder trout]

What does the heli's do?

[graceful iron]

shoot enemies close

including you if you are from an enemy faction

it can be destroyed but it takes a lot of bullets and it can kill you really easily

or use an RPG but thats not easy to get

[topaz berry]

i like the heli

since its on my side haha

[graceful iron]

its not a fun thing to play against as a new player

[topaz berry]

i know its like the machine gunner from cordon in clear sky

[elder trout]

I am loner, so are they enemy then?

[graceful iron]

yes, most likely they are military

[elder trout]

Oh oh 😄 best to turn them off then

[graceful iron]

the ones that already spawned wont be removed if you turn the option off now, you will need to destroy them or start a new run

you can use debug to get rid of them

[elder trout]

do you have the console command?

[graceful iron]

debug mode?

[elder trout]

yeah 🙂

[graceful iron]

check pinned message on how to activate debug mode and then in game press f7 to open the menu

[elder trout]

Don't see the option to delete heli's it seems

Also I bought stash information, can I see where they are?

[graceful iron]

not delete heli, there is an option to delete the entity thats in front of you but i am not sure if it works for helicopters, you can enable god mode and take it down with an RPG or get creative with it . stashes spawn randomly in the zone and you can find them if you look in the pda map

[willow hawk]

[untold spindle]

Hi all, I read somewhere that a good chunk of weapons will be removed in the future. If I start a game now will saves be compatible with updates going forward?

Just trying to decide whether to jump back into STALKER now or wait a bit. Thx

[willow hawk]

Yes they will be softly removed don't worry

[untold spindle]

That was fast. Thank you sir

[river badger]

Hello guys just installed the mod and had a question do i have to change any settings in console for the shader mod? and how do I enable ssr?

[willow hawk]

It's enabled don't worry

[river badger]

thx grok

grok should i use SSDO, HBAO or HDAO?

[edgy echo]

Use SSDO, cause of the shaders implemented in the pack, see https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/screen-space-shaders

[river badger]

ok cool thank you

is there a guide on how to play this mod? is there a mod i can untick to be able to buy weapons from vendors?

[grave plover]

use ssdo, and if you play it on high i must say i gained 5+fps going down to medium (1080 ti)

[edgy echo]

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/922852233249427466 and for changing economy I read that you need to activate trader overhaul and disable gamma economy but wait for somebody that know his stuff because I'm not sure at all 🙂

[grave plover]

for no visual difference

[willow hawk]

SSDO it should already be selected by default

[willow hawk]

#│📚manual

Just play the pack as it is thought and balanced

Activating guns and armors at traders is doable but you'll miss a lot of the pack

[river badger]

how will I miss out on the pack?

[delicate wharf]

the main point of the pack is the progression system

enabling gun/armor buying ruins the gameplay loop its trying to achieve

[elder trout]

Does someone know why everything is suddenly blueish? It was changed in an instant.

[delicate wharf]

#│🔧troubleshooting gloss settings

[elder trout]

mhh I put it on 0 and it is still showing

[edgy echo]

r2_gloss_factor 0.001
r2_gloss_min 0.5 either put those 2 commands or take the appdata from C:\GAMMA RC3.Grok's Modpack Installer\G.A.M.M.A\modpack_patches

definitly looks like you actually have the wrong gloss values on this screenshot

[willow hawk]

Change the values

Increase them

[sharp roost]

uh, so the professor that gave me the explorers quest just died

how boned am I

[willow hawk]

I made some scripts so he never dies

Only the player can kill him

[sharp roost]

This happened while I was in Yantar idk

bruh he keeps dying

every time I reload the autosave

[willow hawk]

@lyric bobcat can story NPCs die from offline combat ?

[soft leaf]

i've had kovalev die before

not in an emission

and i wasn't in the swamps

[quick cloak]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/disassemble-all-items

does this mod still has problem with gamma? reading some old message says that it does

[soft leaf]

what problems?

i used it back in the day and didn't notice a thing wrong

[quick cloak]

something about disassembled part is alway 100%

[grave plover]

then you break all the progression

[elder trout]

thanks that fixed it! Love your work Grok 🙂

[soft leaf]

ohhhhhh so that's why i had so many perfect parts

[glad schooner]

is it worth paying for stashes?

[fallow sequoia]

Yes

[quick cloak]

If you try to find toolkit then yes.

[sharp roost]

Can you only buy stashes from sid tho

I havent seen anyone else have the option

[quick cloak]

CS merchant also sell them

[elder trout]

Wow killed my first bandits 😄 gun play is very nice in this game. They have so much loot, how do you guys go about this amount of loot? Can you sell disassembled weapon parts?

[willow hawk]

Only in the north I would say

[tidal sentinel]

hey grok, do you know how to disable reflections on gas masks permanently?

when I turn them off in the player settings, they'll turn back on if the mask comes off ex. eating food or putting my mask in my backback
I assume they're the reflections. The glossy parts in the corners of the screen is what I wanted off.

[quick cloak]

Check for parts field strips weapon 60% armor 50%. Keep fabric and tech item that you disassemble from pda and such

Throw them all in a stash near a technician for later crafting

[willow hawk]

Disable Grok's Masks Reflections and disable the option in the game option menu

[tidal sentinel]

Is that 129 in MO?

Cause I wanted your mod that adds the overlay (that I love) but the reflections stay on even after I disable the option in the Anomaly settings

[willow hawk]

Yes you can sell them ;)

Keep the ones above 60% for guns and 50% for armors.

You can disassemble all items marked with a wheel, keep the ones marked with hammer and pincer, these are used for crafting

[quick cloak]

Recommend you get a shotgun for mutant and mp5 for npc

[willow hawk]

Did you try removing and equipping the helmet after disabling the effect

[tidal sentinel]

I'll try it right now and let you know. IIRC from last night, it would always turn back on once the helmet/mask was "removed" from your head

[willow hawk]

Be sure to disable all mask options in the menu

[quick ravine]

Is there a reason why in #old-framerate-optimisation you say to press HOME and disable all shaders except that 3? My fps goes from 48 to a locked 60 when I disable those 3 as well. Just asking because I don't wanna brick my save or something if its recommended to keep them on

[willow hawk]

?

[quick ravine]

dis

[willow hawk]

Aah

[quick ravine]

are those important or

[willow hawk]

Bloom shouldn't affect your Framerate so much

But ok I'll change the guide

[quick ravine]

its a gt 1030 so its not exactly high end haha

[elder trout]

what is difference between field strip and dissasemble?

[quick cloak]

Field strip you get parts of the gun and save the gun for latter fixes

Disasemble mean no more gun

[quick ravine]

u can't get the barrel out with field strip tho

[quick cloak]

I do'nt know the tool to dissasemble gun tho

[willow hawk]

And more scraps

[willow hawk]

But you need specific tools to install a barrel

[elder trout]

I'll take it that it matter with what kind of repair item I use to repair a weapon?

[willow hawk]

Usually what everyone's doing is getting guns early with barrel above 60 and cleaning it inside the gun with cleaning tools

Then drag and drop 100 parts on it and clean the condition to get a 💯% gun

[quick cloak]

Not really. Just read the description expensive one for lower condition. That's all

[willow hawk]

Can be done with any caliber even without basic toolkit

You just need to find guns with a barrel above 60

[willow hawk]

Multitool

[quick cloak]

You mean like handgun kit and historic kit?

[willow hawk]

These are repair kit

I'm talking about cleaning kit

12GA etc

You can maintain parts within the gun with these cleaning kits

Which are available early

[quick cloak]

Did'nt know about that feture. Always using a repair kit to clean out my barrrel

[fiery jasper]

Damn i wanna try that

[tidal sentinel]

I thought a short video that showed what I was talking about would make better sense.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-V_YO1KoM2w

0:30 is exactly what I want cause its the one I prefer, the issue is eating or drinking and it'll show back up

[quick cloak]

Cry in potato and direct 8x

[elder trout]

Is there a video tutorial in how to maintain weapons cause I am a bit lost with the loot from the bandits... 😛

[fiery jasper]

Im able go get dx11 and nice lighting but grass has to suffer if i want even close to 60

[quick cloak]

Youtube has one. Just search for it

[elder trout]

Also If go away to sell stuff, and then come back, will the loot/corpses be gone?

[fiery jasper]

Im used to stalker micro stuttering since i played the main trilogy so doesnt really bother me

[quick cloak]

Corpse will begone if you go to far or change map

[quick ravine]

I think theres settings for corpses somewhere but I'm pretty sure corpses that I looted tend to despawn much faster than others

[elder trout]

any way to store the loot temporarely?

[quick ravine]

get a toz from bandits and complete Hips quest to use her as a donkey

[quick cloak]

You cna put them in a stash. But no need to be loot hoarder

Most of the time money is made from task

[quick ravine]

my ironman stash has 1500kg of loot.

gotta get those craft mats man

[quick cloak]

I have like 5 stashes put around a technician for each play through

Gotta organize them loot my man

[quick ravine]

I had that too but got bored of missing 1-2 parts then running around the map for my stashes to find them

so I just put it all in the bar now

[quick cloak]

I recommend put it near an technican for ez crafting

[quick ravine]

dont pay the tehnician for the vice if you already got the tools tho

[quick cloak]

Need to if you gonna change weapon part tho

[quick ravine]

why?

[quick cloak]

I thought repair kit lose condition if you dont use vice?

[quick ravine]

oh Im pretty sure mine didnt lose any for me when I opened the menu with basic tools

they only lose it when I use them directly on the gun for better condition

[quick cloak]

Hmm new info then

[elder trout]

I can only repair my own two guns?

[quick cloak]

Read the item description. If you want to repair parts. You need to take it out first

[quick ravine]

check your repair kit to see the minimum % the gun must have to be repairable

condition and part condition is different for weapons

[elder trout]

pfuw 😄 I really need a youtube tuto 😄 a bit overwhelming but looks cool

Oh ok that would be the case, so the only thing I can do is sell them?

[quick ravine]

oh trust me I thought it was too nitpicky at first but when you craft your own gear its just

mwah

in my opinion even vanilla anomaly isnt a good choice because you will be overwhelmed with features

[willow hawk]

Hum ok... delete grok_masks_reflections.script ?

[quick ravine]

oh youre using brunox to try and repair?

def. watch a tutorial, you need repair toolkits, not spray for maintenance

dont get rid of the guns yet

[tidal sentinel]

ill try it out next time Im on and lyk

if that'd fix it that would be great cause i love the masks

[willow hawk]

It's fine but play in easy tourist and read the #│📚manual

If you like games where the game tells you what to do and in which direction you need to go, GAMMA is rough...

There's a lot to digest and from a rookie perspective, it can seem impossible to progress...

just like in Tarkov for instance

so be sure to check hte #│📚manual

everything is explained

[desert robin]

Anyone know a way to keep a section of custom-added addons to mo2 so they don't scatterbomb-re-organise after an update?

[willow hawk]

custom added addons should be added in separate MO2 addons

[desert robin]

Not sure i follow sorry Grok?

[willow hawk]

if you add modification to addons

[desert robin]

This is what i have, but when i update thye go flying into a different order. Still in that section just jumbled around

[willow hawk]

these will never changed after an update

[willow hawk]

aaah

you mean the load order ?

[desert robin]

Yeah

[willow hawk]

save your modlist.txt before updating

in GAMMA RC3/profiles/GAMMA/ folder

[teal marlin]

this is probably a dumb question, but does loose loot and unmarked stashes respawn over time?

[wraith rune]

what addon is? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/833710619852013608/952774970382106644/unknown.png
Is body health but look is different

[junior night]

dont think so, no

[dapper iron]

After update It seems like my night is like a sunny day. I see the sky blue at 5 am. always was night but now Its like daylight. Its normal?

[willow hawk]

it's body health with another UI

[desert robin]

Looks hott. I like dark-themed anything, white is too jarring.

[willow hawk]

didn't you use the Weather Editor ?

Try disabling the Roadside's lens flare addon otherwise

[wraith rune]

What is another UI?

[willow hawk]

Another texture basically

[wraith rune]

Ahh, thanks Grok!

[wise sparrow]

is eidolon killable without the gauss rifle or being on the quest? ran into him when grabbing stashes in pripyat as military and put over 300 rounds of 7.62x45 into him completely destroying my ak74u tactical and homie did not give a HECK

[willow hawk]

He's a tough bastard yes 🙂

but he's killable

[wise sparrow]

🙃

k just wondering

[willow hawk]

don't save scum during the fight

[dapper iron]

weather editor? which one?

[willow hawk]

since it resets its armor

[wise sparrow]

i popped an anabiotic to postheal since he roasted me with a g36c so that may have had something to do with it

[warped ginkgo]

did anybody try the new SSS update?

turned my game into dx8 for some reason

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-memoji-gif-23490017

[long grove]

hey guys. quick question. How to hide everything on the hud for screenshots? H only hides the body health system element.

[gentle tulip]

numpad enter

[long grove]

i dont have a numpad. it's under keybinds then?

found it. I think

[willow hawk]

oh no

[willow hawk]

Just pushed an update to force the old version files with all the patches

[warped ginkgo]

you changed enhanced shader color grading files? i remember updating gamma and it said something about a new version and something downlodaded

[willow hawk]

nope

[willow hawk]

Check the version date in MO2

You can also check the install log

under the GAMMA Installer.exe

[edgy echo]

My installer didn't want to install the new version of sss for me anyways, retried, didn't work I'll retry now

nvm got flagged as a bot just after lmao this site

[sharp roost]

I hate moddb

[tidal raft]

We all do.

[sharp roost]

move to nexus when

[tidal raft]

Probably never. Nexus has a nefarious user-agreement last I heard.

[sharp roost]

Yeah probably, but as primarily a user moddb sucks so hard vs nexus

understandable tho

[tidal raft]

Nexus is good for your regular joe downloading mods. It's awful for modders.

[willow hawk]

Imagine nexusmod official modpack for anomaly

paid

[torn berry]

[willow hawk]

No thanks

[edgy echo]

I swear the god this modpack is the first thing that makes me want to buy a vpn sometimes betternet is slow as fuck but atleast seems to work rn.

Still faster than waiting 1h to be reblocked by moddb

[graceful iron]

just dont download at high traffic times

[torn berry]

moddb trying to flag everyone who downloads a single kb as a bot

[olive bear]

i use proton vpn's free version it can get up to 2mb on good times and on good servers. Fair price for my data and hentai collection.

[quick ravine]

I can't find the option to buy a transition to/from the Outskirts, is it an area that you only get to with guides, or?

[desert robin]

Usually zaton guide iirc

[quick ravine]

yeah I saw a guide that takes me there but I'm afraid I'll be stuck because I have no transitions away from there

[desert robin]

Just walk out?

[wise sparrow]

anyone know if it's possible to get to this stash in the monolith base in pripyat? it's marked on my PDA but i guess eidolons volat emerald will have to suffice

[quick ravine]

I have no exits, I'm not playing with accessible zone on

[wise sparrow]

theres a guide at the laundromat

[quick ravine]

oooh awesome, thank you

[wise sparrow]

next to the stairs that go up to where strelok is

[edgy echo]

So, if you want the newest version of SSS right now you have to install it manually with all the patches

[delicate wharf]

is the blocking kind of random? outside of when I installed gamma on 2 pcs at the same time and completely restarted one of those installs did it block me...

[midnight shard]

What this mod actually does? I cant get on Moddb website sadly

[desert robin]

@midnight shard

[midnight shard]

Thx

[chrome meteor]

Why is my game so dark? I disabled all the reshade except for mask top and bottom. My gamma is at 1.3, saturation at 0.9, and brightness at 1.

[lyric bobcat]

Idk, They shouldnt really

[reef galleon]

which settings do i revert in order to loot mutants without my knife getting pulled out each time i loot the corspe?

[brisk zinc]

I can't check right now but I think it's FDDA and it should be inside MCM options
Check inside normal options too, it's something about skin/loot animals/monsters, you'll know it when you'll see it, it's straight forward

[reef galleon]

thank you

ok i have it turned off but its still doing it

[limber sorrel]

Anyone got any clue where this package is? I've been searching for an hour

[wise sparrow]

i think it's just part of the script in groks fdda rework and he would need to update it

[wise sparrow]

to the north west of the crashed helicopter is an underground area so check there. you can also use the lamp artefact to easily find packages at night

[reef galleon]

thanks

[desert robin]

Was field cooking kit spawn/loot boosted or something? New game and i have 5 in 20mins, feels a bit much?

[rotund moss]

i either dont get a single one of them or like 20 in the first week

so you might just be on a roll with them atm

[desert robin]

How can i modify/reduce the artifact spawn rate?

[delicate sand]

grok_artefacts_random_spawner? inside artefacts reinvention

[desert robin]

Looks like that's it. Just found it. cheers

Im guessing 1000 is 1 second?

[willow hawk]

You don't get how the code works

[desert robin]

How does it work Grok?

[willow hawk]

Doing so will result in 0 artifact spawning

It only refreshes af spawns in the current map

[desert robin]

How does one go about reducing the amount of artefacts that spawn?

[willow hawk]

And fields don't necessarily spawn af

Reduce their spawn chance

[desert robin]

Where is that?

[willow hawk]

Difficulty settings

I think

Progression diff.

[desert robin]

Cool thanks, got it

[mint lantern]

I updated the game today after playing last night perfectly fine, now it just keeps crashing. Where can i find a log file or something to explain why?

[willow hawk]

Anomaly/appdata/logs/log_name.txt

Also, change your profile picture or I mute you for a month

[wooden nest]

damn...

[loud stream]

Bruh

[magic reef]

I have a question. Every stash i loot is empty. Is it so because i dont have the coordinates of it on the map yet? Thanks for awsome mod.

[desert robin]

The latest update, xenotech install behaviour fix, just did an update and it didn;'t install the latest one. (In case it's supposed to...?)

[grave plover]

i see screen space shaders was updated, is there some incompatibility that we play with the older version?

[stark nimbus]

Yes, it is made for progression purpose, I believe that unless Grok changed it, there was still about 1% chance for items in unmarked stash in the original mod

[wispy yew]

can I somehow skip RF package I cannot find?

[brittle apex]

What are the requirements to be able to obtain psy-helmet? I play as a merc and I don't see any dialogue option to order it when I talk to Sakharov. Do I need better relations with ecologists?

[willow hawk]

you need the quest

talk to the doctor in the swamp

[brittle apex]

I play with storyline disabled

[dense blaze]

You can kill him for it as well i believe:P

[brittle apex]

He gives me best prices for stuff. I would rather not

[wispy yew]

Is RF package generation random? Can it spawn north?

[quick ravine]

im not sure if you even need it if storyline is off

[brittle apex]

@quick ravine My brain is still gets melted

[quick ravine]

oof, nvm then

you probably did already but just go through all dialogue options with him, maybe it pops up

[brittle apex]

I believe they are usually in locations close to the factions base which gave you the package.

[brittle apex]

I did it

[quick ravine]

:/

[graceful iron]

yes its randomized and can spawn anywhere at any time

[graceful iron]

"what can you tell me about the brain scorcher". click this option when talking to sakharov in yatar

[graceful iron]

not really

[willow hawk]

Nope. Just equip a lamp artefact and go there by night

[wispy yew]

can package spawn underground?

[willow hawk]

I don't think so

[fringe radish]

Always check bushes, that seems to be the most common place to find them.

[slow fox]

ive just reinstalled the mod with the update and my tool tip is on the left top corner at all times is that intended?

[graceful iron]

yes

its a mod that moves the tooltip so it does not cover the inventory

you could disable it if you dont like that

[slow fox]

thats actually brilliant, i think ill get used to it. it was a bit annoying when youre trying to manage the inventory

What are these caused by?

And then this

Sorry for bad photo quality

And i have a freeze when artifacts spawn

[magic reef]

@stark nimbus aha ok ty for info

[slow fox]

how come this guy can sell me a brand new pistol? i thought none of the npc can sell you guns

[grave plover]

sometimes random npcs sell them because they got better ones

[graceful iron]

i think its just too much work to change all the random npcs to also not sell guns, grok already knows about this and its not intended but i doubt its an easy fix

[north turret]

I think it's fun though. Imagine traders rn laying low and not being able to sell guns because the UN just got on their neck about it, but a random stalker might be willing to part with his old gun for a good sum

[slow fox]

ok

all good 😄

[north turret]

I couldn't save my old save after updating Gamma btw. Lost all the progress so I restarted. Little sad but its all gucci

[fringe radish]

Are there any addons that change the south agprom facility back to Duty control?

[north turret]

Anyone else always feeling compelled to do the tutorial with Fanatic even though you don't need it. I just feel like it's part of the experience. I've been playing Stalker since 2008 it has been my favorite series ever for over a decade but I still do that tutorial every time I play Loner.

[quick ravine]

same.

[slow fox]

I feel ya, same actually. my merc is gone, but thats alright. I had fun, thats whats important

[graceful iron]

did you post the log?

[quick ravine]

Anyone having the issue of the discord status not working with gamma? Says im playing it but not my health and other stuff that usually shows

[slow fox]

Could someone please help with something? im trying to do this : Right click Beef's NVG addon and tick the following: Beef's NVG and that's it (untick all other options).

but idk what to click

if i right click i dont see what i need to

[quick ravine]

for me I reinstalled and then I could select only the base mod

not sure if that was right but it works

reinstalled only beef NVG I mean

[lapis silo]

Right click in MO2 and click reinstall and then choose the options

[slow fox]

oh ok thanks

[lapis silo]

Oh and also choose "Replace" in the pop up from MO2, if it asks to overwrite @slow fox

[north turret]

I have. Grok said it's probably related to the DICK update. But it's ok, I don't mind starting over

[graceful iron]

i think all you have to do is download dick manually as sometimes it just does not download the full mod

it could still cause further crashes if thats the case, missing files

[north turret]

Indeed. Had some really fun moments but that's the magic of stalker, you always get cool moments in every playthrough

[north turret]

I'll find out I guess. I have played a lot of hours since than and had no issues so far

[graceful iron]

strelok is back to the zone

[north turret]

He owes me 300 rubels

[lapis silo]

Yees, good to be back, had a couple of days vacation which I really enjoyed

[late herald]

hello , love the mod pack but 1 thing , is there a way to remove all the limbs health system and just have the life bar ?

[graceful iron]

disable body health system and gamma minimalist hud

[desert robin]

Xenotech addon doesnt seem to download the new version upon update.. anyone else?

[graceful iron]

its not hard to use the body health system tho, just use a medkit or bandage and then a yadulin or ibuprofen #│📚manual

[fringe radish]

How do I get stalkers to take machine yard so that military stop spawning there?

This is post last dawn mission

[graceful iron]

its not possible for story mode i believe

[fringe radish]

[graceful iron]

try avoiding the machine yard, you can go around it almost all the time

they usually dont have patrols behind the main building, where the electro anomaly is

[slow fox]

My game still freezes ☹️

I have good fps then a freeze, then i loose 5-30 fps for a moment, then back to normal

[graceful iron]

when a mod spawns something it could cause a stutter

[slow fox]

yeah it seems to stutter every time artifacts spawn....

which seems like every minute

can i change artifact spawn time or something?

[fringe radish]

Uh... Doesn't the mechanic take the basic kit off you for the task?

[lapis silo]

Yes, but only once

And not all mechanics, some mechanics in the north dont have any task for them

[fringe radish]

Yeah, but this should have been the once.

[topaz berry]

how is defence factor calculated when it comes to ballistic ?

like what does the % mean?

[slow fox]

It is a bit unfair that the military base in agroprom only has one quest giver. The majority of the factions have two in their respective bases, ie Dushman and Asian, Voronin and the other dude, Lukash and Skinflint, etc.

[topaz berry]

it a bit unfair

but you can get quests from cordon checkpoint

[slow fox]

I play without fast travel at all. And the cordon base is at the end of the world so.. not much point unless i got some quests to go there

[fringe radish]

Clear Sky is super easy in terms of quest givers, got to lvl 3 supply by day 3/4

[topaz berry]

its not that far imo you can get there going from agro to swamps

and from swamps to cordon

[midnight shard]

How to remove Darkwood music w/o getting any errors after that?

[desert robin]

Does anyone elses game not have sun rays anymore? Earlier versions of Gamma, like RC1 had awesome sunrays but now i never see them ever?

[limber sorrel]

volumetric sunrays in settings

they're normally turned off but you can easily turn them on again in visual/advanced

[slow fox]

Why would I go to the swamps lmao

At the moment clear sky will shoot me on sight, because I started as military

[void pagoda]

how are you meant to get to the end of the bug zapper anomaly to get the fetch quest artifact. its the tunnel building at the bandit base with the comet. Do you need max fire protection?

[graceful iron]

i think you need some timing, you cant survive the comet

[graceful iron]

what ?

[graceful iron]

could be that a mod was replaced by sss ?

[void pagoda]

no you can't out run it

unless there are artefacts that make you faster

and I am not counting the knot

[graceful iron]

i dont think its speed, i think there is a safe spot somewhere. i didnt go through the anomaly myself yet so i have no idea how

[void pagoda]

ah I think I can see what you are meant to do

there are little drains you can duck into

that might be it

[midnight shard]

I'd like to hear vanilla ambience only

I turned off this one

[void pagoda]

the timing on that looks like hell

[midnight shard]

But still i can hear Darkwood music and so

😦

[graceful iron]

did you try this?

[midnight shard]

Thanks

Oh wait

It disables music at all except of Main Menu, right?

oof

[grave plover]

Sunrays are controlled by 2 settings, which if i remember correctly 1 of those is at 0 on default gamma user.ltx

[brittle apex]

The problem is that I do not have this option neither "Professor I need to go past the scorcher"

[graceful iron]

could be that you cant get it when its not story mode

gamma is made for story mode so anything else can be very broken

[tidal raft]

Like Warfare.

[brittle apex]

I had similiar issues in EFP. I'll just use debug and spawn myself psy helmet

[modern fern]

How do you bring up the debug mode ingame for spwning items? I had a burner throw my gun but it’s showing below the level

[brittle apex]

Launch Anomaly launcher and enable debug mode. Then launch gamma.

Should work

[graceful iron]

f7, check the pinned message here on how to enable the debug mode

[icy nebula]

Is it just me or I havent come across advanced tools after many hours of playthrough in RC3? In RC1 I would have definitely by now....

[graceful iron]

its completely random, you can craft 5 basic into one advanced

[modern fern]

Thanks for that

[icy nebula]

I know, was wondering if it is intentionally difficult or random

[graceful iron]

yes it can happen and you can have a very lucky run and a very unlucky run

[icy nebula]

lol thanks

[icy nebula]

I hope freeplay gets some love too.... I mostly play without story mode and have a blast with GAMMA... Atleast in RC1 , the psy helmet wasnt an issue for freeplay, havent reached north enough in RC3 yet

[graceful iron]

you can play freely in story mode, only thing you cant do is take over areas but gamma is about balancing the progression of a story mode run

[icy nebula]

As in freeplay without warfare mode - just emergent gameplay from the dynamic quests ... gamma has worked well for that so far

[modern fern]

Anyone ever get frequency’s for the gas station in darkscape? I’ve checked every bush, the station itself and the fallen tree, unless the package is on the roof or in that inaccessible room I have no clue where this thing is, it keeps beeping like im right on top of it but nothing comes up holding F

[graceful iron]

do you happen to have a lamp artefact ?

you could use it to find the package

[fiery jasper]

quick question, is there a way to say, when i update gamma to keep the addons i have disabled, disabled?

or with each update must i disable them again

not a big issue but if there is a way id like to know

[modern fern]

So it was this crate inside the gas station but when I looked inside it was empty yet still beeping

[brisk zinc]

Are you sure you're looking for a crate and not for a package?

[modern fern]

I went back to the stash I had and got a lamp, it highlighted the very box that’s empty. I even debugged teleported nearest item to me which targeted that box. Could that have glitched it out?
@brisk zinc

[grave plover]

@fiery jasper on mo2 make sure you got correct addons and whichever you want, then go to profile and copy gamma and it will make a new one with another name. You will have now gamma profile and yours, if the updater adds or disables some mods gamma profile will update with the updater, your profile wont be touched

[fiery jasper]

ty

i never used mo2 before i always installed the mods manually

[grave plover]

you will need to keep an eye when grok adds or disables something, and where to place it because load order matters for some files

[fiery jasper]

i dont add any new ones just disable some of the ones i dont like

like the english merc lines

[grave plover]

yes but when the pack updates it can enable or disable something, your profile wont update, gamma profile will do

[fiery jasper]

oki ill make sure to check

[royal oxide]

task "last dawn: search for the missing scout" in swamp - where's the guy? I have a psy storm incoming, and it fails the mission. I don't have much time to find him xd

[graceful iron]

check the pinned message here

[royal oxide]

thank you!

[hollow loom]

Does this quest time out

[graceful iron]

no

[hollow loom]

Or did Kov die in Great Swamp while I was in Darkscape

[graceful iron]

the quest giver probably died

[hollow loom]

crazy

he's immortal in every firefight

jesus

[graceful iron]

thats the scary/stupid part

[rotund moss]

to be fair, he is an NPC in Anomaly, they can and will find a way to die

[olive bear]

is there any way for me to restart the artifact hunter questline with debug or something like that,mine got bugged

[flat knot]

If FDDA rework is disabled should I turn off all the other FDDA stuff?

[graceful iron]

bugged how?

[graceful iron]

no, its disabled as it causes a crash but you can leave the rest as it is

[olive bear]

prof died and i respawned him in debug but it is still instantly failing

[graceful iron]

i dont think there is any system for that, all these characters are already almost immortal and thats the only thing in place to protect the quests from failing

[modern fern]

If you want mags active what do you need to activate or deactivate? Cause at this moment I crash on boot

I already activated mags in optionals

But now I’m unsure if something needs to be deactivated.

[graceful iron]

crash log, but you dont need to disable anything no

[modern fern]

I checked history under mags and got the tip to disable consolidate old ammo so when it does work that will be nice

I’ll get the log

@graceful iron

[grave plover]

are you on last update? im playing fine with mags

[modern fern]

i JUST UPDATED

caps

[graceful iron]

thats missing mods..

complete installation #💽how-to-update and then enable mags and try again

[modern fern]

strange, i didnt nothing different than usual with no issues, ill fall back to that

[graceful iron]

the update can do that

[grave plover]

270 active mods you should have, for base gamma preset nothing tocuhed

[modern fern]

Thanks for the feed back, I know it gets redundant answering the same questions, but i didnt consider it since updateding never presented this problem before, so thanks

I have 271

deactivated old ammo, activated mags

[grave plover]

270 is for base gamma, so untouched

[modern fern]

oh forgot i activate death animations too

but il going through the process again

[elder trout]

what should i do with all these guns i got from bandits? I can't sell the parts to the bald dude in cordon

[grave plover]

you can repair them but kits for repairing 10% condition are expensive, you should save 60% parts

[elder trout]

Oh can I sell the weapon/parts zomewhere?

[grave plover]

technicians / mechanics

[willow hawk]

Keep the guns you want to repair. Most likely M4 Tactical

The goal is to grab high caliber gun with 60% condition and check #│📚manual

[rotund moss]

you can sell weapon parts to techs, just dont think you get rich fast that way

[elder trout]

Yeah I read the manual 🙂 It also stated that I need to dissamble ammo?

Cause now I have a lot of ammo and it weighs alot

[grave plover]

ammo you dont use you dissasemble to craft ammo you use

[elder trout]

and you can chose whatever ammo to craft with these 'ammo parts'?

[grave plover]

if you have the required tools and materials, yes

9x18 doesnt require the same materials as 5x45

[elder trout]

Ok 🙂

I also read it's safe to put all my looted stuff in a stash? so I can make a room my hideout (can also drop bed there)?

[rotund moss]

together with the firewood item which got added recently you can set shop where ever the fuck you want

[willow hawk]

Yup. Use the gunsmith toolkit for that

[elder trout]

How do I get these tools? Just progress?

[rotund moss]

with bed roll (sleeping bag) your own fireplace and stash (backpack)

[willow hawk]

You can even drop a tent

Tent bag firecamp stashes

You get your own base

[rotund moss]

you will find one sooner or later in marked stashes

[elder trout]

Awesome 😄

[rotund moss]

i made the Tower north of Yanov station into my Base

[willow hawk]

[elder trout]

Does it matter whee you put your 'base'?

maybe close to technician?

And in the manual it states you need to hold on to 60/50% weapons and parts. So you do find better maintained weapons from stalkers and stashes later on?

[willow hawk]

No

It's random

And if you get a repair kit, you can turn any shit weapon to full 100%

[grave plover]

There is a lot of tools for repairing and everything has different thresholds for repairing, click details on an item and you will see. 60 % should be your baseline to have because you can repair them with a cheap tool

[willow hawk]

Right click > maintain > replace parts

So let's say you have advanced kit, you can turn any 5.56 or 5.45 from shit to 100%

Kill some freedomers to get that juicy Hera arms AR15 and fix it to 100% instantly

[elder trout]

😄

haha damn

Thanks for all the tips

it's a bit overwhelming but damn this game and this modpack is so cool

[willow hawk]

The system is hard to get in, but once you are hooked, goddamn, you'll pour hundreds of hours in it cause that shit is so addictive

[elder trout]

😄

Yeah I also love the randomness in AI, I think I reloaded 4 times when fighting bandits cause I got shit on. And 5 times the battle was different or mutants came to clean house

was very cool

Thanks Grok and all other people for making this awesome modpack 🙂

[willow hawk]

[elder trout]

[torn berry]

can i stealth kill npc's?

[olive bear]

hey

disabling campfire saves is crashing my game for some reason

nvm found the culprit

need to also disable YACS no quit

[graceful iron]

yes its possible

make sure to enable stealth kills in game settings first

[royal oxide]

any help with these 2? they are not on the markers, and I have no idea where "a secret underground electro anomaly" is on this map, lol

[willow hawk]

Yes

[willow hawk]

yup

[old geode]

From what I remember there is a mining tunnel in the northern part of the forest, you need to cross the woods to reach it, don't really remember if there was an anomaly there

[flat knot]

Does reliability effect overall condition/cleanliness, individual parts, both, or none?

[lapis silo]

If you hover over the quest it gives more info, its in the North Western mine tunnel

[gilded bear]

From experience (didn't check the mods) it affects the rate of decay/cleanliness overall, parts and gun

to the point i always upgrade at least one tier Reliability, it seems to makes a lot of difference

[cedar raptor]

@willow hawk is the RAPTR ripped from the F4 mod?

[willow hawk]

No

I bought the model

from CGTrader

That's where the FO4 mod got the model from

[cedar raptor]

ah

[severe monolith]

How to make the companion behave like in a vanilla game? They roam and do what they want!

[willow hawk]

disable 227- Increased Companions Distance - Dhatri

[torn berry]

do junk artifacts decay over time or only when being used

like signet giving you health near campfires

[severe monolith]

Thank you

[willow hawk]

only when used

[torn berry]

👍

[flat knot]

Thank you very much

[glad path]

Is anyone else experiencing minutes long load times when first loading a save?

[cunning kindle]

Have there been campfires removed in the north of the zone?

[graceful iron]

no, but some of them are not on the pda map

[cunning kindle]

Okay because there is no campfire anymore at the mobile lab in jupiter.

[brave hemlock]

I think rc3 takes a lot more memory than rc1 took. Did you folks notice that the game became heavier?

[torn spindle]

Hi there?
Just updated my Gamma mod pack and I couldn't start a new game (story/warfare).
it keeps crashing.
is there anything I need to know?
(note : i didn't add any mods in the mod pack)
much love✌🏾

[graceful iron]

post the crash log, you can find it in anomaly/appdata/logs. how many addons are active and are there any red x on mods?

[royal oxide]

I looked everywhere, and still can't find neither of the samples 😦

[graceful iron]

there was a campfire there in base anomaly ?

[indigo onyx]

Why are my msv rising and rising each time I click the "8" key ? I'm in a safe zone though

[graceful iron]

you could have a radioactive artefact in your inventory

[torn spindle]

No, there is not even a single red x sign I could find in the MO2 Gamma mod list 😶

[indigo onyx]

oh.. I do have an anomalous bread

[graceful iron]

there you go

[indigo onyx]

didn't see it damn

[cunning kindle]

I don't know really, all the stalkers are sitting there in a circle on the ground and there is a burn mark in the middle where i assume the campfire should be?

[graceful iron]

how many mods active?

[graceful iron]

no

there was never a campfire there

[cunning kindle]

Weird

[lapis silo]

You can go underground in the mine tunnel, there is a ladder between the minecart tracks where you can drop down. If you take out your scanner you should find it

[grave plover]

put it yourself the fireplace now that you can

[torn spindle]

I got 270 mod active only from Gamma Mod Pack.

Maybe there is some limit amount???

[graceful iron]

post the crash log

and make sure fdda rework is disabled, and then try again

@torn spindle you can drag and drop the log file to discord if the game is still crashing

[royal oxide]

already looked there, but it wasn't there
ah well, maybe it'll appear later

[magic reef]

Hi. Can i ask how the health system works. How do you know you are bleeding. Also i died even though all my limbs were ok. How come? Thanks.

[quick cloak]

screen turn pulsing red while you bleed

[quick cloak]

Did you check your hunger?

[brisk zinc]

I'm on the phone so this will be a quick explanation, check #│📚manual

If you see red on your screen and your "body" in the bottom left screen is slowly turning red as well, you're bleeding AND loosing health
Bandages and whatever can stop bleeding will work

Your limbs, when they're damaged, needs to be healed by taking two kind of medicine, the first one is yellow and the second is white, IIRC it's healing and post-healing (maybe it's the other way around, again check the manual)
Check the description of each item you want to use to learn what heals what and how it does it, basically "yellow" it's a temporary solution, "white" is the "permanent" solution

If you didn't bleed out, it's possible that you die because you didn't eat or drink

[magic reef]

Aha ok. I was probably bleeding out even though limbs were ok. Food was ok also.

Thanks for the info

[brisk zinc]

You can tell if you're bleeding by looking at the screen, if you see that pulsing red, you're bleeding

[willow hawk]

Bring a portable camp fire ?

[quick ravine]

Anyone found a KS-23? Wondering what faction to hunt for it

[grave plover]

i think military

[willow hawk]

It's very rare

Thankfully

[quick ravine]

TIme to genocide Agroprom then

thanks

[cunning kindle]

Is that what the bags of wood are for? 🤔

[graceful iron]

yes

[willow hawk]

Yup

Portable save point

You can also make your whole camp

[quick ravine]

you're gonna love yourself if you bring one to Zaton/Jupiter

[willow hawk]

Tent, firecamp, sleeping bag and shit

[cunning kindle]

Alright thanks for that bit of info.

[willow hawk]

Set that up in Zaton and farm Artefacts there

You'll love that tip

Make a stash as well

And store all your artefacts there

And start crafting/ empowering

[quick ravine]

me on my ironman with 2 seraphims:

[willow hawk]

Someone has been hunting RF packages

[quick ravine]

I got 1 from that yeah

Saw you saying you need to fix that so I stopped farming them

they keep giving amazing arts

[willow hawk]

I think they should give 100% parts

Rather than Artefacts

Artefacts are fine but super strong ones, hum no

Not the perks ones at least

The rest is fine

[graceful iron]

guns and outfits ?

[quick ravine]

Yeah some outfit parts or smthn wouldn't hurt

getting my 1000th AK part in this package would make me cry

[graceful iron]

same, i have been getting 762 Russian and 556 barrels in these packages

[torn berry]

If i fuse two artifacts to make another one and they are both at 100% will the resulting one be 100%?

[graceful iron]

for perk based ones probably, for radioactive ones 98(sometimes 99) is the max condition

wait...

[graceful iron]

fusing gives damaged artefacts 5-20 no matter the condition of the used artefacts

i thought i read empower sorry about that

[torn berry]

ah so find shit artifacts to create better ones?

[graceful iron]

shit artefacts with shitty condition to make better artefacts but also with shitty condition

make more or hunt for them to empower them to have better condition

[willow hawk]

Empower :

20% + 15% = 35%

Both artefacts need to be the exact same.

Fuse/Crafting:

Combine Artefacts to obtain a higher tier, low condition one

Basically craft is a way to turn shit artefacts you don't care about to better ones you like

[graceful iron]

thats probably a much better explanation

[willow hawk]

Perk artefacts are easy money, melter power and fun useful skills

And the strongest artefact is a perk one and is called Knot

[soft leaf]

is there any way to duplicate stashes? i need to test if disabling mags does weird stuff with roguelite

[elder trout]

Lol why do I lose reputation if a task giver is getting himself killed ...

[graceful iron]

it will probably kill any new save that is supposed to spawn mags in a stash worst case scenario i think

[graceful iron]

cuz thats the point of being able to not take these quests, only pick quests that you can do within a short time so there is less chance for the idiot to get himself killed till you are done

[brave hemlock]

does anyone ever uses Knot?

[soft leaf]

gave myself a new backpack and went to another map to see if it would crash

[willow hawk]

Nope

[willow hawk]

To prevent you from taking every quest

Only take something you think that you can accomplish rather fast. Or risk loosing a bit of goodwill

But the good will loss is small don't worry

[soft leaf]

even then the goodwill loss is rather small

yeah that

[willow hawk]

[olive bear]

hey does the fix uploaded on todo fix the scopes weird drag thingy ?

[old nexus]

How do you replace armor components? I figured the guns out, no idea on how armor works though.

...and, can you actually repair the components themselves?

[old nexus]

...I keep looting low condition armor though, like, 15% 😩

[graceful iron]

some parts can be in better condition than the armor itself

[tidal raft]

Replace parts with fresh parts. The entire outfit condition will go up along with them.

[graceful iron]

keep disassembling any armor with parts you might need, some parts are also used for crafting

[old nexus]

Yeah, and so I use the armor repair kits to replace them parts?

[tidal raft]

Along with a basic, advanced, or expert toolkit—yes.
