Happy?

[brisk zinc]

https://tenor.com/view/saywhat-huh-confused-iamconfused-youlyin-gif-22766635

No I'm serious, I don't understand your question

[untold oriole]

Hey is there a way to make f9 load most recent save instead of your last quicksave? I know it was a part of nitpickers pack but I have no way to choose what parts of that got installed

[brisk zinc]

Okay... what about it?

[ember herald]

What's the question lol

[brisk zinc]

I don't even know if it's inside GAMMA at this point

Finally a question

[graceful iron]

its a standalone mod

[brisk zinc]

"desolation mod" or "Will we ever see it in gamma?"

At least you got your answer

[graceful iron]

i seen people use anomaly and desolation but i am too confused to figure out what or how or why

its better if you just ask the question normally, no need for "hyping it up"

[brisk zinc]

I know, there's no need to be aggressive about it, I'm just joking about the way you asked the question, because you asked it like I already know what you meant

Especially because this channel is for question about GAMMA or mods that are already inside GAMMA

#old-suggest

Other than that, no problem, friends like before, I was just trying to figure out what you meant with that very limited "desolation mod?"

[topaz berry]

is there an excel with all the helmets like there is with armors?

[brisk zinc]

I don't think so

Why don't you do it? (jk)

[topaz berry]

i would

[brisk zinc]

@graceful iron just in case I'm wrong

[topaz berry]

where can i find the helmet data

in the files or something

[graceful iron]

there isnt one i know of, but usually you can just hold left alt to compare stats even on damaged helemts

[graceful iron]

debug menu

[topaz berry]

oh thanks

[edgy echo]

Not sure if it is an issue on my end only or not but it seems this mod doesn't install anymore since it got updated, this does not break anything though. https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/synced-and-less-crappy-sounds-for-bas-sniper-rifles-and-pistols-dltx

[untold oriole]

so uhh now that that argument is over, anyone got anything for me?

[vivid basin]

stack trace:

PLEASE DONT TELL ME

THAT THE STASH IS IN THE TOILETS OF DOOM

OH ITS IN SEQUENCE

I'm dumb

also is it intended that advanced tools don't count as both simple and advanced ?

[dapper iron]

When I want to place a firecamp it says "surface does not suit". What surface is need it?

[graceful iron]

intended, each toolkit only weighs .5 so its not hard to have all 5 on you at all times or put them in a stash

[untold spindle]

I've never played Tarkov and don't quite understand what the Mags Redux mod does. Checked the Moddb page too but it wasn't too clear. Anyone able to give me a quick summary?

[delicate wharf]

instead of weapons having a defined mag size you get removable/equipable mags

[graceful iron]

you need to load mags with ammo and then load the mags into the guns

[untold spindle]

Oh gotcha

[delicate wharf]

so a benefit is you can put higher cap mags into guns that normally wouldn't have them but the negative is you have to manage ammo/mags and prep them before fights etc

[untold spindle]

Yah sounds like more micro management

but would be cool for immersion I suppose

[graceful iron]

also you get a lot of ammo with them in gamma...

[untold spindle]

Haha I might hold off on this mod then...for now

[graceful iron]

they can be fun so if you feel like trying something new you can definitely try them but keep in mind you cant remove it from an existing save

[graceful iron]

you tried installing that part of the nitpickers pack ?

right click, reinstall.

but are you sure by default this isnt already the case? have you tested it?

[untold oriole]

well yeah, the game autosaves on level transition and when i hit f9 it puts me back to the last quicksave instead

when i go to reinstall no matter what mod it is it comes up as fdda patches installing

very strange

i'll go verify my archives

what parts of nitpickers pack are turned on by gamma by default? is it all of them? because i know he has his own pistol in binos slot option in that mod but gamma already installs a different mod to do that

or will the overwrite just take care of that

[quick pebble]

Yes I went through the NPP and killed the patrol squads

[tidal raft]

Strange. Did you have Rogue with you into the Generators?

[whole pewter]

Now, this is a question I would also like to know the answer too.
Every time I tried to make one of these wonderful sounding "camps", I had the same message about unsuitable terrain. Yet, every time I was trying to make a fire in what appeared to be flat, level ground with enough space around it for my tent. I gave up on the whole idea after about 5 fails, but for the future I would like to know the answer anyway 🙂

[sharp roost]

imo the problem with camps is it could be right next to an alife spawn and when you fast travel to your camp....

[peak moth]

I have a problem with a bugged quest, my task was to take an outpost from the militaries in the swamp. I killed all the soldiers who were there and nothing happened, i visited the location many times but no one is there it's just empty. There is any chance to "repair" this?

[brisk zinc]

Is this the quest that Clear Sky give you?

[peak moth]

Yes

That one

[brisk zinc]

It's known to be bugged, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't... I don't know how to solve it so I'll tag @graceful iron for this one since he knows everything

In the meantime, try it again, reload a previous save and go directly there ASAP

Or you can try: #│🔧troubleshooting message

[peak moth]

Sadly i played a lot from there, like 3 hours and forget completly about it. I think i cannot load before the mission already

[untold oriole]

can always use debug to progress the quest right?

[dapper iron]

Can you enable-disable the tab that appears when you mouse over a weapon? it appears a windows with all the stats and characteristics that is anoying sometimes

[brisk zinc]

I won't argue about why you want to remove such an important thing like details for the condition of your weapon but anyway, I don't know if there's something about tooltips it in game (probably not since it's, don't take it wrong, a stupid idea to remove a thing this important), try to check in options

There is this mod (already in GAMMA) that moves that window out of the way btw, it's on the left side of the screen instead of having it right in front of you

[slim perch]

Hey guys, I've unintentionally reset the key bindings to Default. How can I restore the bindings as seen in #│💻keybinds-in-gamma?

[edgy echo]

@slim perch You can recover the default user.ltx in C:\GAMMA RC3.Grok's Modpack Installer\G.A.M.M.A\modpack_patches\appdata

[slim perch]

Thank you!

[peak moth]

That's right?

[warped ginkgo]

and you put that command in the bottom box

[peak moth]

I cannot write ":" in that console

:((((

[warped ginkgo]

can't you copy+paste?

[peak moth]

no

[dapper iron]

I dont wanna remove the window. I love the info too. But sometimes I wanna turn it off. How do you enable that ravens mod that put the window on the side?. I have it check in mo2 but dont know in game how to use it

[strong ice]

What level of Radiation protection should we aim for before travelling to certain parts of the map? is there a rough estimate? like how much should you aim for to be able to safely traverse red forest, limansk, or jupiter/zaton?

[quick cloak]

just focus on balistic and rupture + those one shot anomalies like electro and fire

plus bring some vodka, upper north radiation is not really terrible

what can kill you is actually scar H and SVD monolith

[strong ice]

Last I tried going up North I was hitting 500rads in a second of exposure… and that was only red forest, grok said radiation scales to be way higher the more North you you.

Anomalies aren't really a problem for me as I'm pretty good at dodging them, and I scan ahead with a scoped SKS for any contacts. main issue is just getting my ass gaped by super high radiation, right now I'm sitting at about 35-40% radiation prot, but I don't know how much I should be aiming for to not get trashed by rads up north.

[brisk zinc]

Seriously, learn to read everything, please...

"Indeed, replace mar_smart_terrain_base_stalker_leader_marsh_task_4 by the task name"

[brisk zinc]

If it's enabled you don't need to do anything, when you hover on something, the info will pop up on the left of the screen

It just works (cit.)

[quick cloak]

500 rad is still pretty low. Just one glup of vodka and you'll be fine

[strong ice]

Yeah... and then another 500 rad in 10 second. repeat over and over.

[brisk zinc]

Could be one i don't remember the name radiation spot

[strong ice]

I dont wanna carry 20KG of vodka to navigate the north.

[quick cloak]

Bring some attachments that can clear rad and upgrade your suit.

[brisk zinc]

Like a specific spot when radiation are higher

[strong ice]

Whats the residual radiation up north like?

[brisk zinc]

If you want to go north, better gear is required

So get yourself a better mask

[strong ice]

yeah but any ballpark idea on numbers?

Right now I got like 35-40% rad

[brisk zinc]

On the mask?

That should be okay

[strong ice]

On my entire suit

and mask combo

[brisk zinc]

No I think you need to have a good mask, that's all

[strong ice]

22% on the suit. another like 15 or so on my mask.

[brisk zinc]

Again, I think it isn't a thing of combo or stacking up

[strong ice]

??

[brisk zinc]

I'm almost sure you just need a good mask, with a good rad protection

[strong ice]

So whats the external radiation protection mean then....

[brisk zinc]

15% is too low for going up north

[strong ice]

so only the mask is counted when going through rads?

Because I know some armors have super high radiation prot

[brisk zinc]

Again, I'm not sure about it 10000000%, but it should be like that

[quick cloak]

What is your gear anyway? I recommend atleast an sphere helmet and skat9 armor tier for up north

[strong ice]

I'm rocking a mercenary STS, and the default respirator, trying to get advanced tools to unlock supply level 3 in order to be able to buy medium armor repair kits so I can fix up a decent mask.

[quick cloak]

Yeah.... That's why

You need better gear

[strong ice]

I haven't tried going up north on this save, but I was doing a merc run before and I was getting destroyed in red forest even with a gas mask.

like a Gp-5 or whatever

[hoary veldt]

I wouldn't walk past Army Warehouses until you get a Sphere or Screen helmet

[brisk zinc]

default respirator

That's the problem, that thing isn't even worth it in south

Find a better helmet

[hoary veldt]

Rads past that point are gonna fuck you up fast

[strong ice]

Yeah

[quick cloak]

Recommed medium tier for army wearhouse and heavy for redforest

[strong ice]

So why doesn't armor offer any radiation protection despite saying it does?

That seems odd...

[brave hemlock]

Death lamp. Is there a secret use for it?

[hoary veldt]

You can feed it to some other perk artifact

I forgot what it was

[strong ice]

and I'm not sure how Grok could have programmed radiation to not take body armor radiation into account

[hoary veldt]

I mean it'll protect you from basic rad patches

But the default respirator is not gonna protect you from the northern rad patches

[quick cloak]

And why on earth you still rocking default gear for up north btw?

[strong ice]

Yeah, but say I need 60% rad prot to go up north safely right? Why can't I use a 30% respirator, and a 30% armor?

That would work would it not? because that totals the 60% I would want

[hoary veldt]

Because that's not how progression is supposed to work?

[brisk zinc]

Are you sure? I can do it just fine

[hoary veldt]

You can't just walk up to the more dangerous parts of the zone with your starting gear and expect to be fine

[strong ice]

Im not talking about starting gear obviously.

[hoary veldt]

I don't know the numbers and I'm not gonna ballpark it, all I know is that at least a SEVA + Screen helmet will get you through the patches just fine

[strong ice]

And I'm not even using starter gear aside from my respirator, (because its the only one I have that isn't busted as hell. I have an M50z, but it's on like 8% and I cant see a damn thing out of it,)

[quick cloak]

The seva merc suit is great. Sphear helmet is wonderful and ger a skat9 armor or some exosuit

[strong ice]

and it offers the same prot as my default one anyway,

[quick cloak]

You need good helmet if you dont want to be oneshot btw

[hoary veldt]

I mean yeah it'll offer the same as your default if it's broke as hell

[quick cloak]

I think respirator dont provide any balistic for you head

[strong ice]

Yeah, I can't fix it yet because it needs a medium or heavy armor repair kit, and the technicians arent selling them to me without me giving them advanced tools first.

[quick cloak]

Farm advance tool in army warehouse and agoprom

Or just get 5 basic kit and craft 1

[strong ice]

Bullets aren't a big problem for me, I rarely get shot at since I just scope people.

[quick cloak]

Believe me. Once you reach red forest

[strong ice]

The few times I fight CQB I just count rounds and pop out, drop 1, repeat. or fallback and snipe.

[quick cloak]

Npc scope you

[strong ice]

Not when I'm 400m out.

Anyway, Im planning to upgrade to better gear regardless, but I was wondering what kinda ballpark levels I should be aiming for to not get cucked, thats what this is all about,

[hoary veldt]

Again

[strong ice]

That way if I find a different respirator that is meh, I can estimate how fucked I am

[hoary veldt]

At least the tier of SEVA + Screen will get you to Jupiter

[strong ice]

Yeah, but I'm also curious about Red forest/Limansk, etc.

[quick cloak]

Well army warehouse - medium tier
Red forest heavy tier
Pripyat and npp you better come prepare

[strong ice]

I can already roll through army warehouses without getting any rads pretty much anywhere,

With my default resp and my STS suit.

Not sure about red forest+ though.

[quick cloak]

I recommend playing on iron man

[strong ice]

Thats the entire reason I came here at all, was to find out if it's worthwhile for me to fix up a cheap pos resp, or just wait until I can get a good one.

Iron man is a bit too uhh sketchy for me. especially with how buggy half of the shit is.

sounds like a fun time to get busy hands mid gunfight and die.

[quick cloak]

Play with life granter

[brisk zinc]

@strong ice I think (don't quote me on this tho) that a good helmet should have AT LEAST 30-40% for north and beyond

[quick cloak]

Everycounter is heart racing

[strong ice]

Who knows, maybe next playthrough Ill try Iron man,

but with anything in development I usually try to avoid doing hardcore challenges,

Just because the number of times I've died to bs is astounding, busy hands mid gun fight, keybind not working, getting randomly shot by a friendly for who knows what reason, getting pushed into an anomaly, keybind not working, enemy spawning in literally on top of me.

[quick cloak]

You get like 3 to 5 life + 1 life everyday. It still fine but it make you to be more careful

[brisk zinc]

Back to the question about "my armor is like 90% rad protection and my respirator is -5%, what gives? This should be good enough!", we need Grok on this for a correct answer (or okay_cat or Aldourien because they're more experienced than me) but the thing SHOULD BE like this:

Grok made helmets a "separate thing" from the armours, if you notice now everything is "unattached" from armors, so we have armors AND helmets, this is to make them more useful and, I guess at this point, to make damage more realistic?
For example, helmets now are all abouts headshots, period, it doesn't stack up with your suit

If this is the case, like John-Vick is saying, the whole combo "armor 30% and helmet 15%" simply doesn't work, because now the thing it's like "you have a bad helmet with bad protection against radiation, you suck, get a better helmet, a simple respirator isn't enough" and it makes sense... in a way

In another way, I understand what John-Vick is saying because radiation hits you everywhere, it's not just a thing that hit your nose if you breath it, so, in this case, even the armour should be accountable for radiations as well and should be "stackable" too

[quick cloak]

So right now armor rad res doesnt mean a damn thing?

[brisk zinc]

Don't quote me on this because I could be very wrong

But it seems like it

[strong ice]

Time to test!

[brisk zinc]

Yeah please just test it

[strong ice]

Gonna pull a Scientist exo and jump into like jupiter or some shit

[quick cloak]

Not a problek for me anyway. Rad patch is pretty easy to handle

[strong ice]

with default resp

[brisk zinc]

At the end of the day it isn't a real problem because you always end up with a good helmet

[quick cloak]

What about balistic. Does armor balistic cover for your head?

[brisk zinc]

For instance, I have this and I'm still in south... maybe the most far I've got is the Bar

[quick cloak]

Or it's just helmet

[strong ice]

Wait are there still 2 in 1 suits in the game?

or did grok remove them/change them?

Like for SSP suits are they still 2 in 1s?

[hoary veldt]

By 2 in 1 you mean like how an Exo has a helm built in?

If so then no

Every armor is detached now

[strong ice]

Okay cool

[quick cloak]

Every suit can wear a helmet and backpack

[quick cloak]

Still pretty good loot. 3rd best helmet in the game

[brisk zinc]

And I'm pretty sure that this helmet works beyond north

So @strong ice 35% should be guaranteed

[quick cloak]

It's basically build for up north. The exohelm and spartan helm is just bonus rare loot

[strong ice]

I think the ghillie suit has the highest armor rad prot %

at 29%

[quick cloak]

I took my sphere 12 to pripyat and still survived and svd to the dome

[brisk zinc]

Like I said (and again don't quote me on this) the helmet should only cover your head while your suit cover the rest of your body, it doesn't "combo"

[strong ice]

so that + a default resp should work assuming I'm right

since you said youre making on 35% rad prot right?

[brisk zinc]

I guess so?
Try it and let us know

[strong ice]

aight where am I trying this?

Jupiter? anywhere specific?

[quick cloak]

Bring some body cooler with you. They reduce rad by default

[strong ice]

Im just testing this in dev mode, not actually going up north

or at least not going north on my main character

@brisk zinc what area am I testing this at

[quick cloak]

army warehouse seem great. Lot of rad patch

[strong ice]

right now my total for testing this with the strongest anti rad body armor is 43

only default resp

[quick cloak]

I never priority my armor for rad so i'm not so sure

The only problem i have with gamma is shotgun is basically early game rn. Once i got my hand on a rifle kit. The rifle become swizz knife weapon

[strong ice]

So far Im just chilling in Jupiter with default resp, not getting rads,

but Im getting fucked by "dangerous psy emission level"

so I guess you need psy protection to go north, whereas the rad protection is whatever

[brisk zinc]

Give yourself the psy helmet

[quick cloak]

Run around looking for rad patch

[strong ice]

I only have 43% rad,

So its obviously gonna fuck me up if I walk into a rad patch

This was just to test residual radiation

Give me a specific rad patch to go into for testing purposes,

[brisk zinc]

Straight from #│📚manual, 21/01/2022

"In future changes, getting good gas masks will be harder and there will be a real progression on helmets just like armors."

If Grok made those changes, this should be what I was referring to, helmets are just helmet detached from armors and that "combo" doesn't work

[quick cloak]

Gamma has random rad batch.

[brisk zinc]

@tidal raft since you're here

[quick cloak]

Lol. Still pretty ez to find a good helm

Once you got your hand on a sphere 8 you're set for north

[tidal raft]

Sup?

[brisk zinc]

@tidal raft we're questioning our mental sanity about this, I don't remember if Grok made this or not

[strong ice]

Its going up very slowly in a radiation patch I found in jupiter,

Like 10rad per second

So I think body armor rad prot can save you from radiation... But who knows maybe Im on crack

[tidal raft]

I haven't seen this yet. I have noticed pay protection being nerfed on all helmets though.

[strong ice]

the thing that kills me during testing in jupiter isn't radiation, but rather just psy emission level

So maybe thats the "progression level" grok was referring to,

needing higher psy prot levels to go further north, rather than just radiation.

Meaning your suit can cover you from radiation, but the psy levels are gonna hard lock you.

[tidal raft]

Like Falconini said, you need the psi-helmet.

[strong ice]

psi helmet needed to go to jupiter?

[tidal raft]

Yes.

[strong ice]

wtf

[quick cloak]

Just tele your self to army warehouse

[strong ice]

y

[quick cloak]

From redforest and above u need psyhelm

[strong ice]

then how tf are the other stalkers surviving roaming around up there?

[quick cloak]

Story quest line. Brain scorcher and the other machine

[strong ice]

they dont all have psy helmets

[tidal raft]

Grok got tired of my shit finding Expert Tools on the first day.

[strong ice]

xD

[quick cloak]

Pretend like they does u can bought one from ecologist so can they

Some ppl actually found psy helm as loot before

[strong ice]

these are the same stalkers who are freaking out abuot finding a fucking sandstone artefact

[brisk zinc]

To sum it up since there is a lot to read:

If I want to go up north, do I just need a good helmet with good rad protection? (in my case the Apocalypse one)
OR
Do I ALSO need a good suit, in addition with my helmet?

[strong ice]

"I FOUND A SANDSTONE!!! MAYBE NOW I CAN FINALLY RETIRE!"

I find a sandstone: "Wow, what a piece of shit, thats worth nothing., thanks for wasting my time."

[strong ice]

Or: do I need just a good suit with a shitty helmet.

cause it seems like the radiation isn't bad with 40% overall prot

[quick cloak]

They are smart enough to make money inside of the zone and you think they have good financial skill?

[strong ice]

14% from the default resp, and 29% on the armor

[brisk zinc]

This I'm pretty sure isn't possible because going up north with a shitty helmet (or better yet, shitty rad protection) is simply a bad idea because radiations works like that, bad rad protection = dead

[strong ice]

yeah but for the purpose of testing right now

I'm using a shitty helmet

but im using the best armor for rad prot

and I dont seem to be getting much rads,

aside from standing in a rad patch that gives me like 10 rad a second

[brisk zinc]

Consider that you shouldn't even get radiations, like never

Because yes it's possible

[strong ice]

exactly, so armor rad prot does matter,

meaning you could go up north with a cheap armor and cheap resp, as long as you have an armor with decent rad prot

[brisk zinc]

Well you're doing it, so I guess it's doable going up there with a cheap armor + cheap helmet/thing, as long as you have decent protection

[strong ice]

yeah

Its just the psy levels kill me in about a minute roughly

So, as long as someone just went to yantar and bought a psy helmet, it would fix that issue, and they could go north day 1

[brisk zinc]

Let's see what Aldourien have to say about it, I'm sure he knows the answer

[strong ice]

well maybe not day 1 cause u have to wait for psy helmet to finish, but pretty fast

[tidal raft]

You need a good mask/closed-cycle breathing system. I haven't used apoc helm, but it should be enough as long as you're above 50%.

[strong ice]

is that lore wise or actual feature wise

[brisk zinc]

Okay, BUT

Do I ALSO need a suit with good rad protection? That's the main question

[quick cloak]

Try leather jacker and tell me the result up north

[tidal raft]

Day 3.

[strong ice]

Why leather jacket?

[tidal raft]

Not really. I went up there with a Predator Suit.

[quick cloak]

Bc chad load out leather jacket and pm for up north

[brisk zinc]

Now we just need to understand if the rad protection stack up, like (for example) if your suit is 50% and your helmet is 40%, you get a total of 90%

[brave hemlock]

omg, what a wasted opportunity. There has to happen something when you light all fires here:

that location has to have some significance

maybe connected to the knot artefact?

[tidal raft]

I did pred suit, SSP-99, and PM. Is that Chad enough?

[tidal raft]

Tied to Vanilla. Has nothing to do with the modpack.

[quick cloak]

Semi chad.👌

[brave hemlock]

what's the significance in the vanilla? I never got this far in vanilla

[tidal raft]

No idea. It doesn't have anything scripted in Vanilla either.

[brave hemlock]

omg. such a good missed opportunity

even if just for an easter egg

[tidal raft]

It should still be, unless it was changed recently.

[brave hemlock]

anyhow, can anyone please share the map of Chernobyl with all anomalies mapped? It's too large to traverse on foot

[brisk zinc]

Guess I'll ping Grok again

[brisk zinc]

@willow hawk pls give us an answer, I can't sleep (really it's 4:50 AM here)

[tidal raft]

Use google-fu.

[brave hemlock]

I tried 😦

[quick cloak]

Like how? You still need to wait like 2 days for the psy helm

[tidal raft]

Just pay for it on the first day. :4head:

[quick cloak]

I thought the one you buy immediately will screw you up in main questline

[tidal raft]

Oh wait, my "first day"-scheme was before Grok implemented the psi-barrier.

[quick cloak]

Ohhhh

[tidal raft]

Back then you didn't need a psi-helmet for passage through Red Forest.

[quick cloak]

So you're the reason why i only find my expert tool in outskirt area

[quick cloak]

Baller move to go to red wood with basic gear

[delicate wharf]

red forest -> jupiter was the sneaky gear up fast strat

[tidal raft]

No no. That's just RNG.
It is my fault however that we now must wait until the psi-helmet is finished to access the north.

[delicate wharf]

btw aldourien I have been using the axe on this new playthrough to a lot more success. Still not 100% on certain mutants, feels like I miss blood/psy suckers half the time etc but its working

[quick cloak]

Seriously tho. The rng is hilarious in Outskirt. Every stash i find there has a expert toolkit

[brisk zinc]

But seriously does it really matter if I take the "experimental version"?

[quick cloak]

Yeah. Latter in the main quest u will die

[tidal raft]

Nice.
Suckers are hard hit OHKO without striking the head.

[delicate wharf]

Grok is still planning on shortening the psy helm wait time right? Once that is in it should be less of an issue

[quick cloak]

Viking bros?

[delicate wharf]

Yea and they weave around so I just hit air lmao. My strat has been standing next to something so they have a more predictable path

[tidal raft]

Yes. It doesn't save you when you enter the main chamber of the Miracle Machine.

[quick cloak]

The psy helm wait time is ok. 3 days for down south is good time to gear up to medium tier armor

Make u have a sense of progressing

[tidal raft]

Paint helm red, make it go fastah.

[delicate wharf]

Can you purchase the shitty version to immediately go to jupiter/zaton and then buy the calibrated later for mm?

[brave hemlock]

ok, folks, please share your anomaly map from Chernobyl NPP

[delicate wharf]

might be worth if you really wanna push

[quick cloak]

Go in debug mode and spawn the anomaly map. I think it has one

[quick cloak]

So you basically just skip the advace kit?

I guess it's just for armor. Since weapon still need ammo that locked by the goodwill.system

Still kinda broken tbh

[delicate wharf]

I probably would try and find an adv kit in agroprom/yantar/wild before heading further north

idk the wait time only annoyed me once so far so it isn't the biggest deal

if you know you have to wait then you can plan around it by buying it asap

[quick cloak]

Your plan seem kinda good tbh. Pay 10k head north loot the dead to find good armor and expert kit. Run down south to farm good will

Ez living south

Boar can't kill you if you have heavy armor

[quick cloak]

Still waiting for Grok to let me buy basic tool with vodka tho. Beril is too broken

[warped ginkgo]

you mean in yantar?

[quick cloak]

Yeah. Rightnow the basic ez strat is save money to buy 7bottle of vodka and run to yanta to get the beril = ez south

Mutant aint got shieeeet on the beril with ~40% rupture res

[warped ginkgo]

wasn't it changed already

[quick cloak]

I still see the text say beril

Will try again latter with new game. Maybe it's bc my old save

Anyone know why my game would be crashing when attempting to sleep in a sleeping bag? I made the mistake of not saving the firs time around, but now it is still happening.

[ruby blaze]

is there a 'safe' soundtrack playlist for YouTube videos? Lustmord has claimed a couple of my uploads, and GAMMA appears to be loaded with their music

[muted sinew]

quick question, can someone upload their 'G.A.M.M.A. Artefacts Reinvention' folder from their GAMMA installation in the 'GAMMA RC3\mods' folder?
I'm trying to understand why mine is bugged

[fringe radish]

Is it just me, or are Aslan's patch bounties utter crap?

[unique coral]

@fringe radish I have good and bad luck, I think it is just rng, plus I never go out of my way to collect patches, I just save them up and if I have them I have them.

[fringe radish]

No, all the artifacts I get are <10% condition, and he does not give the guns he promises, instead giving you a single stack of ammo.

[grave canopy]

why do i zoom in when i press H?

and does this matter ?

[brisk zinc]

It's a mod, a "QoL" for early game if you can't afford binoculars

[brisk zinc]

Yes you need to change it, I don't know why it's like that now, it was on mouse4 or mouse5

[grave canopy]

one more question, do i have to use the campfire saving mod?

nvm you can turn it off

[tacit sparrow]

Why wont my gamma game start

[grave canopy]

can i turn off campfire saving without starting new game?

[brisk zinc]

Nope, totally optional

[jagged lance]

I just got shot in the back by a guy i was talking to 2 seconds earlier

wtf

[brisk zinc]

You also need to turn off another mod, should be called like "YACS no quit"

[brisk zinc]

Yes you can

[jovial summit]

hey does anyone know what addon/addons make it so that you only can sleep when tired? had sleep deprevation turned off at first, and now when i try to enable it to be able to sleep, game flat out crashes everytime.

[graceful iron]

#old-how-to ... never change sleep settings

[jovial summit]

ay caramba

[brisk zinc]

Congratulations, you played yourself

[brisk zinc]

They'll never learn

[graceful iron]

please read the instructions before messing your game up

[jovial summit]

well it apparently was in the "a few other tips section"

quite a big tip i must say

xd

[graceful iron]

you can disable immersive sleep and the immersive sleep patch but i am not sure whats that going to help with

[jovial summit]

yeah it didnt, its okay though ill just never sleep

just annoying waiting for trader restock

[graceful iron]

you can keep them enabled and start a new save

[jovial summit]

yeah might do, ty for help

[paper sable]

is it safe to remove that fast travel limiter mod? i din't have a lot of time to play and going back and forth all day takes too much time

[graceful iron]

yes you can remove it

you could also tweak it in the mcm

[paper sable]

i meant mid game sry

[graceful iron]

yes its fine

[paper sable]

i know but the minimum is still 1h and the in game time doesn't go fast

[graceful iron]

... 1 hour is just a few minutes

[paper sable]

still few minutes of waiting after i dropped my stuff in cordon and i want to go back to jupiter

[graceful iron]

i am telling you, you can just disable the mod

[paper sable]

allright thanks

[void pagoda]

is there any specific reason to give the documents from the first few labs to anyone in particular or is it just for a cash and reputation reward for the faction you give them too

[grave canopy]

is there stash in clear sky base?

[void pagoda]

there is one in the bushes behind it i know of

[graceful iron]

each faction gives a different reward for them, usually ecologists or clear sky give nice belt attachments for them with some money

[tidal raft]

There are four.

[grave canopy]

i meant like stash where you can keep your things

[graceful iron]

you can keep your items in any stash

[tidal raft]

Yes, and there are four of them in the base.

[south pagoda]

So last night i took the artifact melter i just bought, and the 6 Battery artis i found, repaired 1 with the others to around 60-70%.
Put it in a crafted 2nd tier artifact applicator, put it on my belt, sprinted a few seconds, didnt seem to do anything much. It showed the above % while on my belt.
Took it off to see the difference visualized in stamina regen without it by sprinting another few sec, no noticeable difference - opened my inventory and the Battery was at its original 5-10% or so.. took it out, and sure enough the newly repaired to 60% one was now back in the range of all 6 original Batteries (10%~)

Did i do something wrong in the artifact repair? Or did i miss a step, or encounter a bug perhaps?

[graceful iron]

did you update after grok pushed the container fixes?

[south pagoda]

lemme compare when i downloaded vs when the update came

guess i'll revert save and update

Thanks for pointing that out.
And while im here, is it generally safe to update mid-playthrough, or is a warning given when / if a newgame is required?

[graceful iron]

its completely safe to update, even mid-playthrough

[south pagoda]

awesome!

[wraith token]

Grok usually says something if specific mods or updates might not work with existing saves.

[south pagoda]

i figured, just had to ask to be sure, are they usually posted in #📢announcements, or in the #📢development section?

[graceful iron]

usually in #📢announcements or #│🔧troubleshooting if there is a fix for whatever broke

[south pagoda]

good stuff, thanks again. gonna go redo some crafting after patch

[quick cloak]

Is Grok done with the update for today?

[graceful iron]

#📢development not yet probably

[quick cloak]

I'll wait another hour just for safe measure then, just done a fresh install and my man keep on throwing free updates

[graceful iron]

you dont have to always update

[sonic field]

What’s the deal with weapons in this mod? Are they all replaced by BaS? Both BaS and vanilla used? Vanilla models and textures edited?

[graceful iron]

both vanilla and bas are used, the weapons will be optimized and reduced so no more duplicates

[sonic field]

I see

Thanks dear

[flat folio]

Bug or intended mechanic

intended

one of the new loading screens should say something about mp7 and p90 being one handed

No. There shouldn't be any way to receive one anymore after Grok changed the Lottery.

[brisk zinc]

Me too, it just came out, that's why I'm a moderator
You're the master because your knowledge about Anomaly is greater than mine

Next time you'll do an update, it will download again the same mod

You'll need to keep the old one and delete the other

[torn spindle]

Hi, I wonder if anyone has any game crash problems when every time trying to talk to some traders??

[graceful iron]

crash log ?

[elder trout]

hi is there a config/mod to make the weapons/armor degrade less fast?

[quick fable]

@willow hawk when you say todays update, does that mean I just need to rerun the GAMMA installer and update GAMMA data? or is this an internal update?

[willow hawk]

Update Data > Update GAMMA Install

[quick ravine]

Sorry if its been asked before; when I update GAMMA will it keep my selection of mods that are on/off?

or will it go back to default

[bright seal]

I remember vaguely seeing somewhere on here that you can repair a weapon without a toolkit if the barrel is better than 60%. Is that true?

[thorny hazel]

it will go back to default

[thorny hazel]

yes, you need just the corresponding cleaning kit and all parts above 60 %

and you can get all the parts except the barrel from other guns and replace them without a toolkit

[graceful iron]

field stripping and field replacing parts, drag the parts onto the gun but the gun cant be on a low condition so you will still need to pay a technician to clean it for you

[uneven bison]

Is there any way to turn off the binoculars night vision or am I just fucked and need to buy new binoculars

[brisk zinc]

I think you're fucked

Choose wisely what you want to install on them

[uneven bison]

I know theyre kind of incomplete in general

[brisk zinc]

It's already a miracle they work in GAMMA

[wraith token]

Anyone know how to get DAO working as per Grok's request? Wanted to test it out.

[graceful iron]

new save?

[wraith token]

Yes

[thorny hazel]

try putting it at the top of the load order, I had the same crash and it worked that way for me

[wraith token]

This worked thank you.

[dapper iron]

Can you repair "armor parts" below 50%?

[brittle apex]

Nope

[graceful iron]

no, but the ones with hammer icons are used for crafting so keep them in a stash even if they are low condition, the rest are useless

[north turret]

Like that?

[brisk zinc]

To be sure 100%, call it "G.A.M.M.A. MCM values"

When you'll do an update you'll have a second mod that have the name it had before, with "Rename to keep changes"

[north turret]

Done

[junior swallow]

Am I able to add Mag redux manually? I'm not sure if there's anything that would conflict.

[grave plover]

its in optionals

[junior swallow]

OH SNAP

[brisk zinc]

Just remember that you can't disable it after

It gets stuck with your current save

[junior swallow]

Thank you for the heads up! I'll make a separate save after activating it.

*before activating

[brisk zinc]

Just remember to disable it if you want to use the other save that doesn't have it

[elder trout]

hi is there a config/mod to make the weapons/armor degrade less fast?

[graceful iron]

you can upgrade weapons and armors durability, i dont think there is a way to make them degrade less in settings or mcm.

[grave plover]

maybe for wpo, but for armors i think not

[sharp roost]

Armors yes

Its in their upgrade trees, most of them at least

[graceful iron]

there is an option in wpo mcm to make weapons degrade faster/slower in rain

[graceful iron]

wdym?

[grave plover]

and threshold where internal parts degrade (default 85)

[graceful iron]

oh, i guess i forgot to mention that one

but i am not sure if thats what they are looking for

[tender abyss]

Show me plz default load order of gamma modpack

[graceful iron]

is your mod list sorting by priority ? you can check the mod list in #❗welcome

should have 271 or 270 mods active and only one red cross on a mod (maids HD icons)

[bright seal]

Ah yes thank you. I had a dumb moment

[wraith token]

Svarogs do not detect the new anomalies added by Dynamic Anomalies mod, upon reading the moddb website i found this comment. Not as straightforward to someone like me though.

[graceful iron]

i guess thats the point of dynamic anomalies tho, but it could be an oversight or just something they will change in a later update

[brave hemlock]

The game crashed when I tried to fix a multitool the second time

[deft escarp]

Hello all, just installed GAMMA for first time - I disabled the campfire saving module because I always hated that feature but the game crashes if it is disabled. Is there a way?

no idea why it expects the table if I'm just using a sharpening kit

[brave hemlock]

yes, it's in the mod config, I believe. I have it disabled as well.

[graceful iron]

disable the no quit mod as well

[deft escarp]

Thank you very much

[sterile cedar]

currently trying to get Nav's 4K Masks and Grok's Reflections addons to work well with GAMMA but not only are Nav's masks not showing up also Groks reflections are broken, any ideas?

[deft escarp]

Man this modpack looks clean as hell. Can't believe I only just heard of it.

[sterile cedar]

Nav's masks conflicts with these addons btw

[deft escarp]

I notice the Stalker population is set high and mutant population is set low - would it affect the intended balance of the modpack terribly if I lowered stalker pop and increased mutant pop a bit?

[north turret]

ZCP population overwrites Anomaly population, so no

to change it go to MCM settings in-game and change it there

i think it's set at 0,6 normally

[deft escarp]

I just noticed there were 858 stalkers in the zone when I started a new game - that seems quite high to me.

For what I'm used to anyway.

[graceful iron]

as AAAA already said, the populations are set in the mcm and are .6 by default for both, you can edit them but first leave them on defaults

[deft escarp]

So leave them as normal in the settings but change them in MCM?

[sharp roost]

yes @deft escarp

[deft escarp]

Roger dodger

[sharp roost]

also iirc the stalkers in the zone count isn't actually accurate

[graceful iron]

you can change the mcm ones yes, the anomaly settings one does not affect populations

[north turret]

when you start a new game and compare the PDA notification vs. what your own rank is (last) yea it is missing quite a few, but apparently it doesn't count 'special' characters as Stalkers

so it might be them that's missing

[deft escarp]

Alright, one final question and then I'm good to go. Which option in visual is making my graphics card fans go apeshit?

[brisk zinc]

Shadows, water, sun, grass...

[tidal raft]

It happens.

[sharp roost]

what the

[elder trout]

Can you show us?

[brave hemlock]

no quest markers?

[graceful iron]

you disabled secondary tasks in the pda?

this one?

disable that minimap

[old geode]

2Q. -Is there a mod that keeps the pda radio from being turned off when changing location?

• Where is the artifact at hells walls anomaly in Army warehouses?

[graceful iron]

the ecologist artefact hunters? go further south of the marker on the map, its not on the exact spot the marker is on

should be in another house with burning anomalies

[ember herald]

Don't trust the PDA for that mission LOL

Learned the hard way trying to get into the marked one +5 times

[graceful iron]

its not the pda, the whole questlines mod has really badly placed markers and used to have really bad translation as well but now it should be much better at least. markers still have not been fixed tho

[old geode]

Thank you

[brave hemlock]

where is it?

[brave hemlock]

did you find it? I wasted WAY too much time on this crappy anomaly

[graceful iron]

one of these

just hold a detector out and walk next to the houses

[brave hemlock]

no dice

damn I really don't want to use the dev console

how do they make quests with such obvious issues?

found it. On the second floor here:

The Anomalous grove never spawns artefacts?

[graceful iron]

it does

[distant bloom]

Hey, so I'm trying to hand in that PMM to Mangun but it won't let me even though it's high condition. Am I missing something? not too familiar with the anomaly questlines

[graceful iron]

is it the correct weapon?

[distant bloom]

Well I have a PMM pistol and that's what my task log says. Unless there's multiple versions or something

[graceful iron]

there is 2 of them in the game

this is being fixed but for now you will have to find the other variant probably, or you can skip the quest (debug or the method in #│🔧troubleshooting )

[distant bloom]

ah damn, well I might just do the quest skip since I went through the trouble. thanks for the help

[brittle kestrel]

hey, I've just gotten back in to try RC3 and I've been wondering: is armor less durable now or is it just me?

[graceful iron]

armor durability has not been changed

[graceful iron]

busy hands, have you updated after grok pushed the fixes? if you can try loading a save before this started happening

[brittle kestrel]

ok, just me then, thanks for the clarification

[graceful iron]

upgrade durability and it also depends on the armor, some armors are more durable than others

[north turret]

UPGRADES SON

[brittle kestrel]

nah I figured it out. adding just one kevlar panel (that go in the artifact slots) cuts the durability loss by like half.

[old geode]

Yes house south of marker second floor; lost like 30% of my grassland exosuit, so be prepared.
edit: nvm you already found it.

[last tundra]

anyone know where I can find the code for this lock?

[north turret]

A dead scientist should be around

if you loot him your pda messages will tell you

[brave hemlock]

this started happening a huge while ago, at that point Aldo suggested a post in troubleshooting that appears to be complete misleading garbage

I'll try updating

[graceful iron]

there was no fix other than the one in troubleshooting

at the time

so if you cant follow the instructions you cant blame the person who made them or the people who point you to them

[brave hemlock]

some of the mods just were not there

[graceful iron]

updating is not going to help if your save already has busy hands, thats why we say try to load a save before the bug started happening

[brave hemlock]

I still followed with the ones that were there

but it did exactly nothing

fuck

[graceful iron]

but it will prevent further busy hands

[brisk zinc]

Remember that you also fucked around with sleep deprivation, you already have issues

[brave hemlock]

that was in rc1

un-fucking-related

[brisk zinc]

Oh you moved on? That's good

[brave hemlock]

I did

the save didn't work. I started over

[brisk zinc]

How could I know? Chill my man

[brave hemlock]

honestly, why is it so damn hard to fix it properly?

[graceful iron]

fix what?

[brave hemlock]

the busy hands

make it so that it either doesn't happen or doesn't require a rollback

[graceful iron]

its already fixed, but a save with it in the files cant just be magically cured

[brisk zinc]

Let me get my magic wand...

[brave hemlock]

can I at least disable the mod that causes it? I don't mind finishing the game without it

[graceful iron]

at least try updating first, see if that helps at least reduce it

[brave hemlock]

ye

will try

[graceful iron]

i would update with a complete install if you have time #💽how-to-update second option

its a bit safer

[uneven bison]

Does anyone know what the difference between handling and recoil is? Generally handling is better for full auto and recoil is better for single fire guns?

[graceful iron]

handling is the general speed of using the gun

recoil is literally just recoil

[uneven bison]

but other people have said that handling effects the sway of the gun in full auto

[graceful iron]

do everyone a favor and look at the files that affect these stats

idk the specifics but from what i noticed, higher handling is usage speed, aim down sight and pullout/holster animations

don't know. Complete install.

first check the size of the downloaded zip file

this is the latest version i believe

if its missing something download the mod manually and put it in downloads and run a complete installation

[brave hemlock]

errrr

I don't have 25 at all

[graceful iron]

download it manually from moddb

[brave hemlock]

why?

I mean, how come it's not in the installer

[graceful iron]

check if you are blocked

[brave hemlock]

I'm not

[graceful iron]

it is, but sometimes your internet cuts off mid install or moddb decides to be an ass

[brave hemlock]

huh

would be good to have some error handling in the updater/installer then, but I guess PS is not good enough for that/ Looks at VB 🙂

[graceful iron]

why are you so good at making someone who is trying to help rethink their decisions ?

[brave hemlock]

that wasn't aimed at you, I'm just being ironic

[graceful iron]

its not very nice, even if not about me

and its not the first, second or third time

[brave hemlock]

I would say constructive criticism doesn't have to be nice to work nice

[graceful iron]

now you can go and download dux's kit manually and continue with the install or you can sit here doing more of that "constructive criticism"

[brave hemlock]

I did download it

when you say continue with the install... what exactly does it mean?

[graceful iron]

delete mods folder and complete gamma installation, but make sure you wait a bit if you just finished the last install or moddb is about to flag

[brave hemlock]

Do I still need the older dux archives there?

are they safe to delete?

[graceful iron]

no, you can delete them

just make sure to not delete any of the recent versions of any mod by accident

[loud dagger]

Any way to rebind Keymap controls without manually entering all the text files?

I use a precise set of keybinds for every FPS i play 😄

[graceful iron]

some of them should be in the mcm, others are in the game settings

only very few are actually only changed in the files

[loud dagger]

ty

[graceful iron]

make sure to check #│💻keybinds-in-gamma before changing things, the hardcoded ones are all there so its easier to know what you need to look for

[loud dagger]

Ah is it just the orange

[graceful iron]

no its not just the orange, what i can think of right now is the M night vision scopes, H for hiding body health UI and holding L for laser sights

not sure what else

[fading rose]

What are ur vision distance ppl? Tried 0.5 to enable Enhanced shaders without stuttering and it works but i can see weird trees appearing in front of me, ill go with the addon "extended draw distance" to see if it fixes it and retain fps.

[magic bronze]

Where can I change the fast travel cooldown and its cost multiplier

[north turret]

Mcm settings

just look for an option called Fast travel XXX (something i cant remember lol)

it will have the options you want

[graceful iron]

you can tweak it in the mcm or you can completely disable the mod in mo2, its called fast travel limit

[fleet grail]

Is there a settings to enable magazines? I've enabled mags redux but theres no mags only ammo directly into the guns

[graceful iron]

you enabled the mags mod? there is no mags in game?

are you sure you are using guns that need mags?

[fleet grail]

Pretty sure aksu uses a mag

[north turret]

there is 1 or 2 compability thingies in mcm for mags redux

i know

i press things and forget about it

[fleet grail]

Theres literally no mags anywhere, theres no ammo check key etc.

Im pretty sure i've messed something up during install or smth

[north turret]

all you had to do was tick mags redux in optional

[graceful iron]

check the size of the downloaded mags mod

[fleet grail]

2,6mb

[north turret]

ill check what setting it was, sec

okay got it

[north turret]

ZCP - Integration - Mags Redux - Spawn Chance

in MCM

[fleet grail]

Is this normal? Unpacked and installed mod checked via mo2

[graceful iron]

that one makes mags spawn in stashes

all you need to do is enable the mod

[north turret]

ohh

@fleet grail also did you check if they are in the game itself? with debug

[fleet grail]

If you right click the mod on MO2 and open in explorer, all the folders are empty

Atleast for me they are

[graceful iron]

for the mags mod only ?

[north turret]

[fleet grail]

Yes. Compressed file is 2,60mb but if i follow to the "unpacked mod file" the contents are 4kilobytes

[graceful iron]

the installed folder should be 20mb

[graceful iron]

download the mod manually, put it in the downloads folder and replace if it asks

[fleet grail]

I think i messed up the installation somehow, can i tell the launcher to unpack and replace all the mods somehow?

[graceful iron]

yes, first download the mod manually like i told you and then delete the mods folder in gammaRC3, go to the installer and update gamma data and lastly complete gamma installation

me when i thought its underground lab

[hasty plaza]

Hey is it considered Kosher as per Grok to use the equipment from the Last dawn line? I'm uncertain if starting with a CS-1 body armor and Travel pack is within what's considered "intended".

[graceful iron]

grok knows about it, idk if he plans to change it

[hasty plaza]

Aight cool, as long as it isn't considered busted sounds great.

[graceful iron]

try asking at the anomaly server, assuming this is a vanilla anomaly location and access

[fleet grail]

That fixed it, thanks!

[neat furnace]

I can’t seem to attach the EPK-08-02 Kobra sight to the PP-19, anyone know a fix?

[graceful iron]

make sure its the right sight

you can hover over the gun to see if you have a sight that goes on it, the sight will be highlighted

[last tundra]

[neat furnace]

It says that the sight is compatible when I read the item details of the PP19, but I guess not

[graceful iron]

there is a different sight with a very similar name

[neat furnace]

Okay thanks

[graceful iron]

use debug if you cant find it, make sure to check by hovering over the gun to see which sight goes on it, ignore the stupid description

[neat furnace]

Will english subtitles for speech ever be added? Or is it in already

[graceful iron]

try enabling captions in settings?

not sure if that actually works sadly

[north turret]

they don't work

except for ... doors

(door opened)

[river ingot]

when mechanics start selling repair kits?

[graceful iron]

when you deliver toolkits to them for their missions

[river ingot]

thanks cat

[slow fox]

Question about artifacts: once the equipped artefact reaches 0% health does it simply dissapear?

How fast does it loose health?

Pls help

[north turret]

1% every 20 seconds

default

you can, if you want. Change this in MCM

[slow fox]

Damn thats fast

Hows this balanced?

Seems insane

[north turret]

🤷‍♀️

like i said, you can change it to be lower

[slow fox]

And the timer turns off when you take it pff the belt?

[north turret]

yeah

[slow fox]

What happens if it reaches 0%?

[north turret]

i have actually no clue

[slow fox]

Just dissapears?

[north turret]

i doubt it, i think it can be re used

[slow fox]

Just the Soul has 1% HP regen even if its low hp. I wanted to use it but if its gonna be gone once it reaches 0% then maybe not

[grave plover]

i think it doesnt disappear, just the stats will be lowered, also artefacts are balanced because you can empower them with the artefact melter

[north turret]

i don't think it disappears considering that as little as 1% artefacts can be used to repair others

or 'empower'

[neat furnace]

What is old ammo

[slow fox]

Ok thanks

[grave plover]

ammo that will jam more your gun and degrade it faster too if you use it, also you shouldnt have old ammo on by default there is an addon that converts old ammo to pristine ammo when you loot

[neat furnace]

Thanks

[willow hawk]

Only perk artefacts degrade

[slow fox]

Sorry which ones are perk ones?

The special ones changed by the mods?

Would the Soul artifact degrade?

[grave plover]

perk ones are the ones that give you skills not just raw stats

[flat folio]

Are there hard numbers available for the levelling addon? Like, % increase per level? Also, does the quick transfer mod add a quick drop hotkey?

[brittle apex]

Are there any better weapons chambered in .45ACP that are better than UMP 45 in terms of fire rate and mag capacity? I want to upgrade my gear and I wonder do I have better alternatives.

[willow hawk]

Vector when it's out

[brittle apex]

Vector huh? I thought about that one. I can't wait to see it in action.

[slow fox]

Question about armour upgrades, upgrades that give Rupture resist and say in description that increases wear-resistance. How is that different to upgrades that give suit durability?

[grave plover]

rupture is when mutants hit you if i remember correctly

[north turret]

I disabled debug mode but i can still access it in-game

any idea why

[jagged lance]

can i find the values for the skill system anywhere? ie. exactly how much extra carry weight i get per level etc?

[slow fox]

Do i get some sort of rep hit if the stalker that i was guiding dies?

I walked into agroprom and there was a pseudogiant and my guy just died

[grave plover]

max lvl 30 for skills, and for strenght and carryweight the full bonus you will get is the max kg you have in player difficulty option menu, eg: you have 50 in that menu you will get bonus 50kg when max lvl strenght

[jagged lance]

alright ty

[brittle apex]

Which faction are more likely to use kar 98? I killed over 200 stalkers so far and I could not find single one.

[muted sinew]

quick question, can someone upload their 'G.A.M.M.A. Artefacts Reinvention' folder from their GAMMA installation in the 'GAMMA RC3\mods' folder?
I'm trying to understand why mine is bugged, I tried updating, I tried a full reinstall, artefacts still get randomized durability when I put them into/pull them out of containers

[lapis silo]

Just download it from the Github repository

[muted sinew]

pretend I'm retarded and point me towards the repo

pls

[lapis silo]

https://github.com/Grokitach/Stalker_GAMMA/tree/main/G.A.M.M.A/modpack_addons/G.A.M.M.A. Artefacts Reinvention

There you go

[muted sinew]

thanks, king

[loud dagger]

Anyone know what mod is connected to Keybind C? I would like to use C for sprint. I dont even know what C is supposed to do to my followers

[muted sinew]

ok I might actually be retarded

how the fuck do I download from github

[lapis silo]

You have to download the entire repo i think

[muted sinew]

breh

thanks

[lapis silo]

Should be companion wheel in vanilla keybinds

[muted sinew]

thanks man, for some reason the installer refuses to download stuff from the repo unless there's been an update to it, even if I click the "complete gamma installation" button in the installer

[lapis silo]

Yeah, those Gamma specific addons are saved in the repo, so it doesn't download those again unless they are updated

[willow hawk]

Clear Sky

[desert robin]

Why is the xenotech mod so fucked.

Apparently has no files

Just going to manually download it and be done with it........

[jagged lance]

it did be doing that a bit but i reran the setup and it fixed itself

[slow fox]

@brittle apex just start a game as UNISG and you ll get it from the start. you can even buy the scope from the guy in the beginning.

what are the direct consequences of killing a few stalker of a "neutral" faction? Example: I have some bounty hunters looking for me, they re Mercs. Im UNISG and have say 600 rep

do you just loose a certain amount of rep per stalker kill or do they just open fire on you once you kill one

I could try running away but if I can kill them and loose say 100 rep im okay

[stark raft]

Hi how do you change to the alternative scope on some rifles?

I did it before but have forgotten since and cannot seem to find the keybind for it

nvm figured it out its v

[dapper iron]

ty, nice tip!

[long grove]

Not sure if anyone replied to this but - I disabled a lot of the music in GAMMA. I can show you how to remove just the Lustmord stuff alone if you need. Also, I had a question for you when you get a moment.

[wispy loom]

Are there still female stalkers in the latest update? I havent seen any in days but that might just be rng

[graceful iron]

just RNG

[brisk zinc]

RNG + there are very few in general + the only times I found them, they were ecologists

[graceful iron]

its completely random what faction they are as well

[graceful iron]

you disabled it in the launcher and then started the game through the launcher ?

[brisk zinc]

It was a fun fact 👀

https://tenor.com/view/roll-safe-running-away-run-roll-safe-running-away-kunleinhogifs-kunleinho-gif-20722195

[graceful iron]

[brisk zinc]

No seriously, I didn't know it was random but it's logical, that's true

[wispy loom]

Fair lmao, first female stalker I found was a mercenary in AW. I snuck up behind her and was like whys this dude looking so off then found out it was a man of wo

[brave hemlock]

a man of wo. That's pretty funny

[rotund moss]

First Female stalker i met (besides Hip, but Hip is Hip so she does not really count) was Tamara from Duty, she confessed her hate to me by shooting my face off and taking my shit

[tidal raft]

"How do I repair guns with parts?"

[tidal raft]

Now we can just say, "check pinned messages".

[long grove]

are there any mods adding or affecting underground environmental sounds? Like desomond's maybe?

*desmond's

[thorny hazel]

yes, desman's horror overhaul is in gamma

[paper sable]

Ok I noticed something,I only met 2 zombified stalkers in my entire playthrough and they're missing from outskirts as well,is it intentional or a bug?

[long grove]

I know it's in Gamma. Trying to see if it specifically adds sounds to underground environments. Going through the files doesn't look like it does. I'm trying to remove the added underground noises like banging, rats, etc..

[grave plover]

they are disabled in zcp, for balance reasons i suppose

[paper sable]

I see

[graceful iron]

isnt that just usual anomaly underground sounds ?

[long grove]

no clue. Haven't played vanilla anomaly. started with Gamma. I reinstalled the soundscape overhaul mod w/o the "new underground sounds" option just to see the diff.

[graceful iron]

ok

[long grove]

yep, looks like those were anomaly vanilla sounds...sigh

[graceful iron]

try reinstalling soundscape with the new underground sounds instead? dont they overwrite the anomaly ones?

[sterile cedar]

any help getting these two mods to work with GAMMA? cause these mask overlays and reflections really aint it
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/navs-4k-definitive-masks-10
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/groks-4k-and-reflections-for-navs-mask-v12

[long grove]

they may overwrite some but most of the anomaly sounds are still present with overhaul's underground files installed.

so I guess to get rid of the anomaly sounds I'd have to unpack the db's

[tidal raft]

Yep.

[willow parcel]

Hello, i have a quesion. Can, for example, the Stalker Anomaly folder be in a certain partition, while the GAMMA folder in another partition? Or do both folders have to be in the same partition.

[tidal raft]

You can have them in separate partitions.

[willow parcel]

thank you!

[tidal raft]

(Just as an example)

[sterile rapids]

How likely is it that the regular updates mess up your save file? Should I be updating Gamma when there is updates announced?

[grave plover]

its safe no worries

[sterile rapids]

Thanks!

[grave plover]

if grok changes something or adds anything thats too big and game changing he will announce it

[willow hawk]

Yup

[delicate zenith]

Might have been asked before but is this already a part of/soon to be part of gamma?

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/anomalys-name-update-for-stalkers-anus

[fringe radish]

#old-suggest

[stoic axle]

Hi, I updated my game. Grok said, Spas12 will now require Historic Weapons kit instead of Army Rifle kit. The tooltip of my stashed Spas still displays the Army Kit as the necessary one. Is new game required for the change?
The update seems to have worked as smoking is now 10 secs as Grok changed that too

Spawned in Army kit and Historic kit, Spas12 indeed still requires the Army Kit

[sterile rapids]

Interestingly enough, it seems my save has broken haha, whether it was due to the update or not god knows

[graceful iron]

its crashing ? post the crash log

[graceful iron]

missing dux's kit mod files, download the mod manually from moddb and put it in gammaRC3/downloads

[sterile rapids]

Thanks very much. Need to learn to read these myself

Us cats must stick together though.

[old geode]

There is some files here on the server that fixes the artefact container weight, but they lack proper directory hierarchy, does any one knows how to structure the folder to make them work?

[graceful iron]

try asking the person who posted them ?

[old geode]

I forgot who :/ I found them by mistake, and forgot where exactly on the server

[graceful iron]

#old-bugs message pinned message in #old-bugs

[old geode]

Yes that's it, TY, amazing speed by the way

[peak tapir]

is there a way to disable accessible zone after starting a new game?

[tidal raft]

Nope.

[sterile rapids]

Running is an option.

[long grove]

so I just got my first exo. It says sprinting is not possible and I cant sprint. Fully powered, fully repaired.

[grave plover]

maybe you need to upgrade it first idk

[sterile rapids]

Any reason why this might be happening now, not a big issue really since I got my save to load. I did try to manually put ion the Dux blackjack patch. This also didn't seem to be an issue before weirdly enough.

[long grove]

oh ok, yeah teh ability to sprint with an exo is totally through an upgrade. was thinking it was built in

[graceful iron]

you dont install manually you only download the mod and then run a complete installation

[sterile rapids]

Oh its a complete install after an update as well! I have clearly misunderstood that. Will do that!

7 step instructions in English are too difficult.

[sterile rapids]

Complete installation hasn't fixed it hmm..

Figured it out, the blackjack addon hasn't downloaded.

[topaz berry]

is warfare worth playing?

is it laggy or not?

[brisk zinc]

No

[graceful iron]

#old-how-to , not recommended

[brisk zinc]

Laggy, unstable, not recommended

[brisk zinc]

Once again, first

[graceful iron]

crash log

you forgot to enable mags

[brisk zinc]

Rookie mistake

[graceful iron]

[hoary veldt]

Every update resets the modlist

[graceful iron]

its still crashing with the mod enabled ?

missing files

no

check the mods folder with the mags mod first, usually its 20mb after being installed

is it missing anything ?

whats the size of the folder ?

this one

[hoary veldt]

Right click the folder and click properties

[graceful iron]

yes

[hoary veldt]

No, in file explorer

Click open in explorer

Then click the mags folder itself and check the properties

[graceful iron]

it didnt install correctly, maybe didnt even download

update can mess new updated mods up sometimes, when internet cuts or isnt stable

download the mod manually from moddb and put it in downloads folder in gammaRC3

and then run a complete installation #💽how-to-update second option

[paper sable]

Sorry to barge in like that but there's that quest to help different people in the zone...is it endless?

[graceful iron]

no

it has an ending, i can tell you but its kind of spoilers

or you could find out yourself

[paper sable]

I was wondering cuz I helped xenotech 4 times already and it's still at it

[graceful iron]

it does take a while to finish the quest

but no, its not endless

[paper sable]

Good to know

Thanks

[brisk zinc]

Too bad I learn this now...

I thought it was endless

[wraith knoll]

@willow hawk is EFT MEDIC ITEM OVERHAUL mod compatible with your mod pack?

[graceful iron]

gamma has its own medic item balance

[north turret]

Do i have to do that

[graceful iron]

you tell me, why would i ask you to do the specific steps if you didnt have to

[wraith knoll]

i know but i would like to see splints for legs and arms so as well ability to brake them. or at least ability to craft them

[north turret]

fixed ty

[brisk zinc]

@graceful iron remind me how I can fix weapon parts

[graceful iron]

while inside the gun : have a repair or cleaning kit (you can check which ones you need by right click details on the gun) and then right click maintain weapon clean/replace parts

ramrod, file and multitool can repair parts if they are above 60% . if you give a mechanic an advanced kit they will sell a repair kit that can repair parts till 10%

[brisk zinc]

[brave hemlock]

@graceful iron fyi, it looks like complete reinstallation helped my busy hands bugs. I played for a few hours and never got it. Maybe I'm just lucky, but the game feels much smoother too, for some reason.

[ruby blaze]

Yeah, that would be much appreciated. 👍

[brisk zinc]

A complete installation brings only benefits

[north turret]

I am doing a complete install but forgot to delete mods folfer, will this create issues?

[tidal raft]

It could if there are still some old files left from an outdated add-on.

[north turret]

Alright, Ill just wait a bit so Modb doesnt get its bot identification panties all twisted and do it again to be safe, ty you for reply

[tribal plover]

Is there a safe way to deactivate model pack?

[graceful iron]

are you just trying to deactivate it ?

if you are trying to increase fps you should check #old-framerate-optimisation

[tribal plover]

Aye, got it. WIll try. Nah, i'm good with FPS, my schizo self always had issues with model packs and i've always had problems with them. Always cutting them off at start.

[graceful iron]

what kind of problems ? identifying them? crook's UI is in gamma

[tribal plover]

Back in the day, pre-anomaly, COC modding always had some weird-ass problems with majority of model packs. Either unstable and demanding, or even glitchy. Usually had more load on GPU (i love it quiet, but thing sound like a heli under a load). So basically just a personal preference from bygone era :P

[graceful iron]

duxs kit does not use up that much performance tho

did you even use it first?

[grave plover]

dux kit is chefs kiss

[brisk zinc]

Dux is incredible

Only quality stuff from him

[tribal plover]

my schizo self

[elder trout]

wtf how can I kill military in the great swap for a mission... I retried 35 times

am i missing something

[sterile rapids]

I've just come across a burer in the great swamps and the sound effect wont stop looping. Is there a reason for this? Its that weird whispering.

Reload hasn't fixed it either, neither has sleeping.

[obsidian vale]

Figured I'd ask here first. Anyone having trouble with your night vision activating? I hold down the N key to turn it on. Sound effect plays, animation plays (since I like having them on.) But I don't get any night vision.

[torpid rapids]

any way to fix the shadows being weird on the edges of the screen?

[azure jewel]

Does anybody know where the anomaly from the 'Last Dawn: Retrieve the scanner from the anomaly in the south west corner of the swamps' is? I'm searching near the observation post rn

[brisk zinc]

Check pins

[azure jewel]

thanks

[torpid rapids]

: (

[brisk zinc]

My brother in Christ 🙏

You can't just ask that without a pic

[torpid rapids]

i assumed people would know what i'm talking about since it seems pretty common

gimme a few to grab a pic

[brisk zinc]

If it is what I think it is...

Then the answer is "you can't do anything about it"

You can fiddle with your settings but this is the basic answer

[torpid rapids]

yeah that's that answer i've seen and i just didn't want to believe it lol

[brisk zinc]

No it's really true

It's a repeated answer because it gets asked frequently

If it was a joke we would just say "it's a joke"

[torpid rapids]

yeah I know, i was just holding out hope that someone would have a fix

[brisk zinc]

I'll tag my main man @graceful iron that knows everything of everyone

Tomorrow he'll see the question

If there is a new answer, he knows it

[torpid rapids]

i'll keep my fingers crossed, although from what i've read it seems like a problem with the engine itself which is tragic

[dense blaze]

Yeah there's no really no way to fix it as of now i believe, but honestly you kinda get used to it after a while

[worldly plaza]

Alright I think it's a basic question, what sort of settings should we use? Just the ones that come in the install? I always get confused on whether to us HDAO/HBAO/tesellation/paralex mapping etc etc

[tidal raft]

Use standard settings.
If your machine is weak, you don't want Tessellation, nor HBAO.

If your machine is even weaker you may want to reduce grass density and/or distance.

[worldly plaza]

I've got a RTX 3070/Ryzen 5 3600, not the best CPU but should be aight.

Is there anything I can turn up/alter? Or just leave it as is
