Try running as is. If you feel stuttering or frame loss, try decreasing some value.
Otherwise check #old-framerate-optimisation

[worldly plaza]

Alright, appreciate it. Seems to run smooth as is.

[tidal raft]

[old geode]

my ES color grading are insanely high 5.0 each, how can I change the value when the console refuses to take the input?

I am talking about this: r__color_grading
in my user.ltx they are already set at 0.5 each, but in game they are at 5.0

NVM fixed it

[jagged lance]

how safe is it to update gamma midplaythrough?

[delicate wharf]

quite safe, I have personally not had many issues with it. There has been the occasional breaking change but that generally just requires unticking a single addon or something to play the old save

The top troubleshoot tip if you update and get issues with your save is delete /mods folder -> udpate data + complete install from the installer to make sure you have the latest everything and check #│🔧troubleshooting or #📢announcements if something was mentioned about old saves if its still not resolved

[jagged lance]

alright ty

[brisk zinc]

You forgot "update GAMMA data" before "complete install"

[jagged lance]

its a bit hard to know compared to wabbajack modlists because gamma doesnt use a version system

[long grove]

is there a console command or something to set specific time of day? debug menu "sleep" option won't work if you aren't tired with immersive sleep

[delicate wharf]

I was giving advice if you are having problems post update but yea trying a regular update first is a good idea

[brisk zinc]

It's always a good thing to hit that, just to be sure

Grok can update GAMMA multiple times in five minutes or once for a week

[delicate wharf]

good point I edited my response

[brisk zinc]

It's also very safe to do, it doesn't break anything at all

If you already have it, it won't do anything

[brisk zinc]

I don't know any console command but I know a way

Grab a lot of marijuana and smoke it

The one that comes in packets

You just need one, maybe two, the only drawback is that you will be hungry and probably thirsty

It really helps when you don't feel sleepy, then you can hit "sleep" in debug mode, it should work

[neat furnace]

How do I keep my MCM settings whenever I update? I change the name of the file in mods but my settings reset anyway

Also, does anyone have zombies enabled? I know we have the mutant zombies but feels like something’s missing without stalker zombies

[brisk zinc]

Remove the "- Rename to keep your personal changes"

[brisk zinc]

I used to, you can enable them

They will be basically all over

[neat furnace]

Thank you, I had renamed the file to something else entirely

[brisk zinc]

I suggest to keep the original name, just to be sure

When you'll update, you'll get another mod with that same name

Keep the old one you rename and delete the new one

[neat furnace]

Ok thanks!

[long grove]

ok thanks

[midnight void]

can't change the values of "r2_sun_lumscale_amb" everytime i change it turns back to the original value, any tips?

[edgy echo]

You have to play with dynamic tonemap values in mcm, it control lumscale etc if I remember correctly

[midnight void]

Tks! i will try here!

[edgy echo]

Yeah thats not the usual way but It works well once you got how it works 👍

[midnight void]

McM does the job, managed to insert the values i wanted, tks a lot!

[last tundra]

having an issue crash to desktop after I disabled FDDA not sure why before I could turn it off just fine now all of a sudden it's a problem

log file if needed

[supple vault]

Had this same issue, crashes when I uncheck its box, runs fine if it’s checked and just turn off animations in the MCM in the menu options though. Sometimes it just feels like wild magic.

[bold stump]

can you get guns from trading with that mercenary in the prypiat outskirts?

[willow hawk]

Yes I think so

[bold stump]

Alright I'll definitely try it once I go North

[willow hawk]

But do you really need guns at that point in your playthrough?

[bold stump]

Lol didn't think about that, but I remember the dude having some pretty unique guns in vanilla anomaly

[supple vault]

Look, you can never have enough dakka. My loot stash is just a gun hoarder nightmare every run.

[river ingot]

how did the toxic particles show on testing?

[willow hawk]

+10 fps in average

[edgy echo]

I like the way they look too. Good job

[willow hawk]

Less bubbles more "shit the air looks toxic"

[brittle kestrel]

lol, where the heck did sin get old diving helmets to put on their exos? I'm fukin dying laughing at this dude

[north turret]

Don't laugh at my boys

[dense blaze]

Is adding Dynamic Anomalies mod still the plan? Since it negatively affects fps for some apparently?

[river ingot]

love it, blending perfectly

[willow hawk]

It's the plan yes, I'm investigating how to mitigate the fps loss

[fringe radish]

Why is the PK-A in yellow?

[paper sable]

I struck gold when I found an etos scope on a dead monolith,but the description says it has a targeting system but it doesn't do anything except having a fancy reticle,is it supposed to be like that?

[desert robin]

Is the particles.xr already in Gamma in the latest update? I saw the announce but it's already added in #📢development it seems? I could be missing something.....

[brittle kestrel]

that's the square one that goes on the gauss, right? unfortunately the scope doesn't actually have that ability despite what it says. I think the gauss rifle itself (which has the scope built in) does have that ability though.

[paper sable]

Too bad tho since it's so expensive

[vocal relic]

how do I enable this without the game crashing?

[tidal raft]

It's a PIP-scope. I recommend not using it.

[fringe radish]

Pip?

[tidal raft]

Picture in picture. It effectively halves your FPS.

[fringe radish]

Ouch.

[edgy echo]

Found a tracking device on a mutant without active quest relating to it. Didn't even know it was possible. So if I find and take the quest it will be completed instantly ?

[tidal raft]

No, it'll just spawn another tracker.

[edgy echo]

So I have this quest item stuck in my inventory

[tidal raft]

Yup. Luckily it doesn't weigh anything.

[willow hawk]

Yeah I added because the Framerate improvement got confirmed. Also they simply look better. And now it's needed because the custom gamma ballistic script spawns new blood particles in front of NPCs when bullets penetrate

[desert robin]

I made this.. "What 'optional addons do you use" It might help to get some data if you ask in announcements..? Idk.. Just an idea.. If you want to know or care about it. https://take.quiz-maker.com/poll4313194x22f14010-136

[desert robin]

lol 8 votes already

[unique coral]

should I be using any? I just figured if grok didn't throw them in, that they were not worth my time.

[desert robin]

Personal recommendation is Trader destockifier, but that's just me being a sadist when it comes to difficulty. It basically lets you strip traders from being legal cheats

[unique coral]

So do they just restock weekly or never?

I do like having to do most things myself, idk if i could handle if they never restocked.

[desert robin]

When ever you set them to, it just lets you reduce the count for certain item types they have

It doesnt change the restock timer

[unique coral]

ahh, thank you for the recommendation. I'll try it out.

[desert robin]

Quite customizable

[jagged lance]

whats the difference between white and green stash icons on the pda?

[brisk zinc]

White: normal loot, low chance to find a toolkit
Green: better loot, low chance to find a toolkit, expert tools can be found in them but only in Red Forest and north from there

[tidal raft]

White is a 'normal' stash with a low chance to contain a toolkit.
Green is guaranteed to contain a toolkit and other random items of better quality.

[brisk zinc]

Right the toolkit is random

[jagged lance]

cool ty

thought it mightve been main mission related

also does using the laser attachment make it easier for the AI to spot me?

[grave canopy]

is there any way to be able to see your own legs when in first person?

[tidal raft]

No.

[tidal raft]

No.

[grave canopy]

how to get this stash

[tidal raft]

[rancid trout]

I have a piece of armour with good condition kevlar, but when I dissemble it comes out as cloth sheets, is this intended?

[tidal raft]

Sometime materials do not appear when disassembling. it is normal that 'your actor' fails a disassembly.

[rancid trout]

So like

I have this as an example

Now when I disassemble I get this

Even if you reload it's the same outcome as if it is predetermined

[tidal raft]

Did you update recently?

[rancid trout]

Not within the last week or so, think that could be it?

Yes, definitely. Run update option 2: #💽how-to-update

You can't for generic speech.

[tidal raft]

You don't need to learn to play the game.

[vocal relic]

you rite, I've been doing it for over a decade lol

[tidal raft]

[vocal relic]

this modpack is amazing, appreciate all the work put into it

also what kind of performance should I be expecting at 1440p

I'm on a 1080ti and it's making me want to upgrade for once

[tidal raft]

Depends more on your CPU than anything.

[brisk zinc]

3070 + Ryzen 7 3700X here, with a 1440p monitor (so 2K)

It's... good

[vocal relic]

It's a 5800x, should be killing it

then again, the new intel, with this old engine the clock speed might help

but still decent

[brisk zinc]

The maximum I've reached is 120 fps I think but it's always a constant up and down

It's also an old game with an old engine filled with mods, we're close to 300... it's already a miracle it run without much problems

There are some places that aren't optimized at all where I barely reach 60 fps, like Army Warehouse

[tidal raft]

It's comparative to my i-8700k in terms of clock speeds. It should run decently.

[vocal relic]

It's definitely playable for me, I get around ~40fps with the reshade off

[brisk zinc]

playable
40 fps

Pick one

[vocal relic]

I wish it was 120, believe me

[tidal raft]

40? Damn.

[vocal relic]

should I try everything in #old-framerate-optimisation

[fiery jasper]

the game runs around 50-60 on my 960 without reshades

[tidal raft]

Try some options, top-to-bottom, successively.

[vocal relic]

Right click Beef's NVG addon and tick the following: Beef's NVG and that's it (untick all other options)

what does this mean ^

I don't see anything saying Beef's NVG

in the right click menu

[hollow apex]

@tidal raft hi Aldourien I checked your previous comments about the "sleep crash" issue but I still can't resolve my friends' problem, 2 of them all have sleep crashes and the last update is two days ago. here's his log with no "error"

[tidal raft]

What is this? This doesn't look like an x-ray log.

[tidal raft]

It means reinstalling Beef's.

[vocal relic]

ohhhh, ty

[lapis silo]

you have to disable Cr3psis first

[grave plover]

With a 5800x you should worry about your ram speed and untick core 0 in administrator, that cpu should do more than 40 fps

Im on a 1080ti i7 4790k 4,6ghz and play 80+ fps on 1080p with reshade active (and its a heavy one not the one that comes with gamma) and custom user.ltx mostly all ultra so something is wrong on your end

[edgy echo]

Don't know if I understood correctly but if he have 40fps with a 1080ti/5800x there is most likely an issue

[grave plover]

Yes thats why i said he should check his ram speed and untick core 0 to let stalker breath something more to other cores

Unticking core 0 works even on my old dinosaur i7 4790k, +5fps

[edgy echo]

Actually unticking core 0 on my 5800x will just put the load on the other core just after, but unticking almost all cores THEN reticking them seems to put the load on several cores. Old X-ray thing

Didn't noticed any performance increase playing with affinity personaly. Seems to be different across different hardware

[grave plover]

You got more cores than me, anyway people should try which works best for them

[edgy echo]

I think I read somewhere that core 0 is mostly used by other programs in parallel so disabling it can only help anyway 👍

[willow hawk]

I'm running 120 FPS with the reshade in 2K, for dense particles areas (Yantar toxic swamp) I have like 70 - 80 FPS. In Rostok in depends on the angles, usually I have 70 FPS but in some specific parts of the map under certain angles I drop at 40 FPS

just wondering is it necessary to update mod organizer and should it be with the recommended settings?

[tidal raft]

No need to update it.

[severe seal]

hello, I played for 3 month not Gamma an thought I give it a try today. But the game ctd when I load a savegame. I decided then to restart again. After equiping a basic detector the game crashes. Do I have to reinstall the mod organizer? Or what can I do to?

hello Okay Cat

[graceful iron]

post the crash log, did you update the game or complete install ?

[severe seal]

I updated the game.

I read something today about reinstalling! But I didnt remember in which articles this was.

post the crash log first

[severe seal]

Wow there was so much changes....

where do I find it?

heya

how are you supposed to get radiation resistance if you use stuff like nosorogs ?

just came across a monolith nosorog (cleared the monolith force after brain scorcher), and tht stuff only has like 15% iirc

are you supposed to compensate with a good helmet as well ?

[tidal raft]

Yes.

[graceful iron]

crashed when equipping a detector ? how many mods enabled and what version of the installer do you have?

should be 3.1 and 273 mods enabled

any red crosses on mods ?

[severe seal]

how do I check the gamma version?

225 mods enabled no red crosses

oh-oh

[graceful iron]

installer version is shown in the installer itself

[vivid basin]

okie good thing I killed a master freedom because he was alone and it had no repercussion on my rep and he had the best gasmask in the game

just need to repair both now (aka find expert tools aka not have the same luck from my previous character where i did 7 stashes in limansk, outskirts, pripyat chernobyl npp and had no tools ahahahahahHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAH)

are you on RC1 ? make sure you have the RC3 files, if not #old-how-to and #960885878878773348 @severe seal

thankies

[severe seal]

ok thanks Installing the RC3

where is the link to upgrade it to RC3.1?

[graceful iron]

its already in the same folder as gammaRC3 and the 3.1 is only the installer, not gamma

[severe seal]

ok thanx

ok Installer Version 3.1

[graceful iron]

make sure you deleted everything from the old gamma folder and only moved your downloads folder from it

ohh

didnt done this

#│🔧troubleshooting gloss factor

also you might want to move user ltx from gammaRC3/grok's modpack installer/gamma/modpack patches to your anomaly/appdata to get the standard gamma visual settings (unless ofc you changed things yourself and want to keep them)

[north turret]

how do i enable debug?

[tidal raft]

#│🔧troubleshooting

[north turret]

i did that, opened the launcher through mo2, but it just crashed and i figured it wasnt the proper way of doing it

[graceful iron]

just crashed ? crash log? also make sure you are following the instructions correctly, should be a pinned message here on how to enable debug as well

[tidal raft]

Open the launcher manually from the Anomaly folder.

Then repeat the other steps.

[north turret]

i might have fucked up in the installing process, i don't know. when opening any of the .exe's (including the launcher) from the anomaly folder, it just loads up regular anomaly, without any mods. but when i boot up the game via mo2 it works just fine

[graceful iron]

its supposed to do that, exes open base anomaly without any mods

[north turret]

well then

[graceful iron]

did you check the pinned message for debug mode?

[flat cairn]

Hi guys!
Does the player can do friendly factions "main" questlines? I was playing a loner and to my surprise I could do clear sky missions, can I do the same for all friendly factions?

Other question, there is an optional mod for Duty companion and some duty quests - can they be done for other friendly factions or it is duty specific?

[north turret]

ah thanks i'm retarded, sorry. thanks for the help.

i might be more r-worded than i thought. after launching the launcher through mo2 i should just tick debug and hit "play stalker anomaly"?

[severe seal]

hi done the installation, now there are 273 mods active

and mod 140 is red crossed

[tidal raft]

Open the Launcher from your Anomaly folder, not MO2.
Tick the Debug box, launch the game from the launcher, exit when you get to main menu.
Open MO2, run Anomaly with DX11-AVX, play as normal. @north turret

[severe seal]

:/ did exactly that, still didn't work

[vivid basin]

Also is the emplacement for stashes tied to who you kill ?

Like monoliths give northern stashes more often ?

Cause out of the 132 monoliths I killed until now only one gave me a stash up north

[tidal raft]

Are you sure you're launching the correct installation of Anomaly (assuming you have multiples).

Did you also click "Save Settings" after ticking the box?

[north turret]

yes

[tidal raft]

Works in reverse.

[north turret]

WELL I WAS PRETTY SURE BEFORE YOU ASKED ME BUT NOW I'M NOT.

the binary and start in might be messed up now that i look at it? one should be set to c:\anomaly\bin and the other one set to \bin\ .exe, right? thing is,my binary is set to C: and my start in is set to D:, it works just fine and i can play the game, but if i switch the binary to D as well it doesn't work. my gamma install is in D, and my new download of anomaly is also in D, the one in C is an old one.

[tidal raft]

So you have two Anomaly folders.
You've linked MO2 to C:, but the start .exe from D:?

Also, don't use all upper-case just because you're frustrated.

[tidal raft]

Check your paths (🟢) and executables (🔴) :

[north turret]

if both are set to c it doesn't even open the game, if both are set to d it crashes. i'll try to solve it later, gtg now but i think i might know where i fucked up now, thanks.

[calm tangle]

Hey, how do I upgrade an MP5 with the handgun repair kit?

[glad path]

you need a tool set

[calm tangle]

Do I still need a set of tools to upgrade it? I can't add weapon upgrades, but I have the repair kit.

[quick ravine]

you need the repair kit, tool set and the upgrade material (actually nvm Im not sure if u need the repair kit)

[calm tangle]

Okay, it doesn't say what tool set specifically. I'm using the drug-making kit to access the menu.

[brisk zinc]

You need to open the toolkit, select the gun and the upgrade

When you choose the upgrade, it should tell you what you need, basic/advanced/expert (iirc)
If you can't, it should tell you something like "you can't upgrade this weapon because you're missing this thing"

For the upgrade (iirc again) if it is something that needs the advanced tools, you also need the basic and, obviously, the actual upgrade you want to use

[hoary veldt]

For upgrading, the corresponding repair kit to install the upgrade does get used up every upgrade installed

So bear that in mind

[calm tangle]

Okay, just making sure. For me when I hover the upgrade it just says:

[hoary veldt]

lost my Exo repair kit that way, never again

Yeah, you need the upgrade part that corresponds with the icon to the right

[tidal raft]

You need a basic toolkit.

[calm tangle]

And I can't remember, Grok mentioned the idea, of when upgrading, it doesn't consume any uses from the repair kit, has that been enforced, or does it still use up the kit?

[hoary veldt]

IIRC when I upgraded, it used up uses of my kit

1 per upgrade installed

[calm tangle]

Okay, thanks for clearing that up guys. Just wasn't sure.

[tidal raft]

Coming later.

[hoary veldt]

It's the repair and other bits that don't get kit usages

[glad path]

I still havent found the briefcase, does anyone know where it could be?

Dang. but also nice. Very happy about that.

Ok, Artifact Hunters has crapped out for me. Did all of them including Yanov in Jupiter. He tries to send me to Prof vorobushkin who allegedly is in Zaton. However, the mission immediately failed. I went to Zaton where he "should" be, and aside from dying instantly now due to insane radiation, he wasn't there.
Is there a way to respawn him via debug or console? In which case does anyone know the ID (for debug) or the command in console?

[north turret]

loners can spawn in agroprom, i'm pretty sure. there's like three possible spawns if i'm not mistaken. you might have not changed the "random location" thing in the new game screen?

idk

[wise sparrow]

There's a way to respawn quest NPCs as I know there was a post made about it SOMEWHERE because gatekeeper kept dying for some players and it made the main anomaly quest unfinishable. I don't have time to search it now but maybe look around for that and you'll get your answer.

[north turret]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/forum/thread/living-legend-call-from-the-north-quest-failedrc22

this?

[vocal relic]

My game keeps crashing with no log file or error message

[wise sparrow]

yeah that's the one i was thinking of. i haven't had to do it myself but it did pop into my head that you can respawn unique npcs

[untold spindle]

Does Stalker Anomaly contain the original game quests?

[warped ginkgo]

no

[brisk zinc]

What theGoldestein said probably

[vocal relic]

is it possible to change the size of flashlight cones?

[ember herald]

are the executable based on this https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/dltx-differential-ltx-loading/page/2#comments

or is it custom made for GAMMA specifically

[untold oriole]

what exactly do suppresors do

is it literally jsut upside to have one?

all they really do irl is reduce muzzle velocity which in reality makes next to no difference to stopping power but I don't know how this pack handles them

[bold stump]

What's better, the ecologist or the merc saiga-12?

I found both, so I'm wondering which one I should repair

I'll go for the merc one since it has the picattiny and the muzzle brake

[warped ginkgo]

gamma uses those exes

well, not that exactly one, rather the one from github that has combined the ones available

fdda/duty expansion/dltx

[strong ice]

So, I found variants of an SKS, an old one, and a newer one, they take the same parts, but I'm not sure how I go about swapping the barrels on them? There is no option for me to pull the barrel off of either of them.

[ember herald]

ty

[warped ginkgo]

think you need a multitool or one of the big kits

[strong ice]

I have a multitool, but still no option to remove the barrel. I had the appropriate toolkit to replace all the parts on via workbench, but it wouldn't let me remove the barrel from either of them to swap to the other, other parts were fine as they could be removed via "field stripping" them.

Only way I could do it was via Dissassembling one of them, and getting the barrel that way, which worked.

[ember herald]

Yeah you can't remove barrels from a weapon

At all

[north turret]

i'm getting quite high average fps in gamma, higher than in vanilla anomaly (...that game needs lots of reshade to look good), but holyshit i'm having a LOT of stutters, and that never happened to me in anomaly. does anyone have any idea what could be causing that? the stutters seem random and not necessarily related to npcs spawning or whatever.

[soft shard]

In GAMMA, they make a weapon overheat faster, which afaik just causes faster part degradation while overheated. I personally haven't used suppressors much in this mod, so someone else may know more; but they basically seem to be balanced so you'd want one on a rifle for taking potshots while sneaking around an enemy base, but NOT want one on an smg you use for mag-dumping into hordes of mutants.

[untold oriole]

I had to install it on my c drive to fix this issue, maybe that'll work for you?

[soft shard]

The 'overheating' thing may or may not also directly affect jam chance; someone who knows would have to answer that.

Obviously IRL suppressors will overheat / wear down and need to be refurbished, but they don't degrade in GAMMA'

[strong ice]

when playing with Mags Redux, What supply level/trader do I need to buy the standard SKS mags? Right now I'm at supply level 4 with Sidorovich, but he doesn't sell me any SKS mags... I can buy Quad stack AK mags, SVD mags, etc. but no SKS mags? seems broken... or maybe I'm just stupid and I'm missing something.

Any input would be appreciated!

[wise sparrow]

it might not be injected correctly by mags redux

or more accurately it's not being injected into their item list

[gusty kestrel]

So Ive been playing and the traders that I go to none sell weapons...like sid and the like

[calm tangle]

They don't sell weapons or armour

[wise sparrow]

#│📚manual message

#│📚manual

[calm tangle]

Grok mentioned a new antibiotic at Medical Traders? What is it? Haven't seen anything new at the traders yet.

[wise sparrow]

which sks are you using? only molot and tactical use removable mags, the others have fixed magazines and use stripper clips

[gusty kestrel]

oh...thanks

[strong ice]

The molot one lol, was hoping to find a Tactical, but I found a molot first. Can't find the mags for it at traders, and it only came with one mag in it... so It's almost unusable. any idea where I can buy the mags?

[gusty path]

is the RAPTR in yet?

[willow hawk]

You need the repair kit

[willow hawk]

Try disabling core 0 #old-framerate-optimisation

[magic reef]

Whats the reasoning behind broken weapons on stalkers i have defeated? I mean all of them are around 20% and the npc have no issues using them. I find it a little unrealistic that npc stalker weapon loot is in such a bad condition.

[willow hawk]

Progression balance

Getting prestine guns on dead stalkers makes the gun pretty unfun

And the progression really short

Realism =/= fun

Kill a random dude, get a functional AK = oh wow I just skipped 9h of content

GAMMA aims at providing a long progression

And gradual

While removing the frustrating aspects (like unfair one shots) while giving you a challengeb

[magic reef]

Yeah i understand but around 20% is maybe a little low. Perhaps 50%? Or make it so that guns malfunction for npc too when they are low?

[willow hawk]

There's no difference between 20% or 50%

The gun is still unusable because of damaged parts

#│📚manual

And cleaning items like grease spray etc got their minimal condition made much lower

[magic reef]

Yeah. I meant parts. If the parts are broken npc should have weapon malfunctions like if the player picked up the weapon. Just an idea :)

Still best stalker mod out there👍

[willow hawk]

But they actually do

The lower the level of stalkers the more they unjam their shit

[magic reef]

Aha ok did not know

[slow fox]

hi ive updated my mod pack for the first time, the last line says Copying modpak modlist.txt file. is it finished

is the update done?

[strong ice]

@willow hawk Where do I buy Standard SKS mags? I have supply level 4 on Sidorovich but still don't see any...

[willow hawk]

I don't use mags

[willow hawk]

If you can click on close, yea

[slow fox]

now it crashes when i load my save game 😦

sorry wrong subthread

i updated with the update method 1

[strong ice]

Do you know where I can look to figure that information out? since I'm not sure about the small.

[strong ice]

Did you disable the "pretty pistols" pack? if youre updating your pack from RC1-2 to RC3, the Pretty Pistols pack crashes old saves, so you gotta disable it. Pretty pistols is mod #91.

[slow fox]

i dont think i was on rc1 or 2

i downloaded the thing recently

[strong ice]

Try it either way, it might fix it. and it only takes a split second to do. Open the MO2 link, (the green gamma icon), click on "Gunplay" untick "pretty pistols pack", try loading save.

worst case scenario it doesn't fix and you can re-enable Pretty pistols pack. or it does fix it, and you're good to go.

[patent spindle]

hey guys, about the Faction identification addon, is there a option that makes player have to talk/loot NPCs to learn their names

[willow hawk]

Mags Redux addon files in relation with items/trade

[late herald]

i did an update few hours ago and now the game wont start , just the logo and nothing after

[willow hawk]

reenable mags redux if you had it enabled before

[strong ice]

I'm too stupid to understand what that means...

[willow hawk]

after looking into the files I have no clue, better ask the authors

[strong ice]

Okay, I left a comment on the moddb page for the Mags Redux EFT Reposition addon. will post anything I find out.

[late herald]

i never had mags redux enabled

[willow hawk]

Ok. Can you crash and send your log in #old-bugs ? Log location is in #old-bugs channel description

[fringe radish]

How do I disable the recent rad changes?

[slow fox]

@strong ice unfortunately its not the pretty pistols

[karmic shore]

Is there a way to modify my carry weight?

[rotund moss]

you can find a setting in i think gameplay difficulty and if not there progression difficulty - how ever it will most likely have no effect (if not fucking your invictus run over) since i think its already set to 50kg (max) and the skill system "unlocks" more and more of that over time

but you always can go for a bigger backpack and use them together with loadbearing suits/Protoexos (Normal exos are ususally to heavy on them self) to haul stuff, together with some Goldfish artifacts (23kg+ if memory serves right)

[karmic shore]

Ok ill try that!

[north turret]

By default it's maxed i'm pretty sure

[graceful iron]

yes and it was enabled by default in the mcm for crook's UI, but it could be one of the causes to busy hands so it should really stay off

[neat hornet]

yo, quick question - armors have to be crafted or will they pop up at good enough goodwill at vendors?

[strong ice]

@graceful iron Do you play with Mags enabled?

[graceful iron]

no

[graceful iron]

only looted from stalkers and stashes

[rotund moss]

you have to find them either on dead stalkers or in stashes and fix them up

[neat hornet]

fuck xD

[strong ice]

Anyone here that plays with mags enabled: Do you know which trader(s) sell SKS mags?

[neat hornet]

Also, if I wear Bandit armor I'll stop being treated as Loner?

[rotund moss]

getting tasks done will grand you stash infos, or you can by stash infos from Ppl like Sid or Spore

[graceful iron]

disguise system #│📚manual , but if you wear any suit of another faction while no one is seeing you then you will be disguised as the faction of the suit, you can wear the suit while someone is watching you or tear the patch of after wearing it and you wont disguise anymore

[rotund moss]

if nothing got changed, both Traders in Cordon (Sid and the other face in the Farm), Spore in the Clear Sky base did have some, but im not sure if they are basic stock or got sold from other random stalkers to him and the duty trader, IF memory serves right and nothing changed by now)
Also only one SKS uses mags, usually you should not need one (since SKS is strip feed internal mag)

[strong ice]

Do you know which supply level sid sells em at? I have supply level 4 on him but he didn't have any in stock

[rotund moss]

which SKS do you have btw they are all Strip feed with internal mag, besides one (the Moloth or something)

[strong ice]

I'm rocking the molot sks,

[neat hornet]

Thank you!

[strong ice]

theres also the tactical one which requires mags

[fringe radish]

How do can I revert the recent Radiation increases?

[strong ice]

but I just found a molot one and swapped to it from my old standard SKS since the molot one can actually use scopes aside from the PU scope, + I can get the nice 20 rounds in it from mags rather than being forced to run 10 rounds internal.

[rotund moss]

well F then, i wasnt playing with mags for a while now - but SKS is WS-Pact and you should find mags for it at the trades who have that stock (Army, Duty, Sid (at times))

[strong ice]

I'll keep looking around, I have a suspicion that it may be bugged and isn't spawning in WS pact traders. thanks for the info!

[whole pewter]

Thank you matey, and thank you @wise sparrow .
I will try later on to go through various files etc and find out the object name for Vorobushkin. I'm wondering if there are any clues to that in the save files, as that article seems to mention that the data is stored there by adding a DB entry. This could be a lengthy project.
Thinking on it, I am inclined to suspect he might have died during operation afterglow, as that outpost is the scene of a lengthy firefight between my "team" and Unisyg up there. If he does indeed loiter in the top floor of the building I have seen him in YT vids, then he is right where a firefight takes place.

[lapis silo]

Petrenko in Rostock sells some at Suply lvl 1 or 2, i am pretty sure. Also, the trader inventory for mags is pretty bad, you are better off finding them on dead stalkers or unloading them from weapons. I sometimes just spawn in 3-4 mags via debug, if I really cant find any

Trader Overhaul greatly increases the availabilty of mags at traders though, your call if you want to use it

[strong ice]

Does the trader overhaul “break” anything by using it?

By break I mean like make stuff arbitrary

[graceful iron]

you will need to disable gamma economy to use it

[lapis silo]

No, it just overhauls the traders and makes them offer more stuff. Is maybe makes the game a bit easier, since you can buy more stuff, but that is OK in my eyes

[lapis silo]

No?

[strong ice]

What does that mean for Gameplay?

Sus…

[graceful iron]

choose one gamma economy or trader overhaul

[lapis silo]

I was using it up until very recently longest time with Gamma economy for the longest time

Worked great

[graceful iron]

did you try TO with out economy ?

[lapis silo]

No, since I wanted to keep the Gamma economy.

Now I am on Gamma economy without TO

[graceful iron]

TO overwrites gamma economy i believe

so having gamma economy makes no difference

[lapis silo]

Nope, Gamma economy defintely overwrites it and it works together great

[graceful iron]

wut ?

[lapis silo]

I have played with TO before Gamma, so I would know

[lapis silo]

I am completely honest I swear

[graceful iron]

bruh my whole life was a lie ? nooooo

[lapis silo]

Seems so? But it's good news, yes.

[strong ice]

Idk wtf is happening 😮

Confusion 💯

[lapis silo]

With TO active, Barman and Hawaiian are selling ammo and more consumables etc.

[graceful iron]

and with both?

[strong ice]

😮

[rotund moss]

they bonding dont worry about it

[lapis silo]

You can activate Trader Overhaul without issue and try it out. If you dont like it, you can simply disable it again.

[lapis silo]

Sorry I meant with both on they sell ammo etc.

[strong ice]

What about with none active?

[graceful iron]

you go back to the anomaly economy

[native gust]

Removed 4 messages.

[rotund moss]

was that divine intervention? checks Online list yep

[strong ice]

So with TO and GE active, traders still won’t stock guns and armor right?

[lapis silo]

Yes, you need to disable Gamma economy for them to stock guns and armor

[strong ice]

Okay perfect, and with both active there aren’t any like big progression skips/breaks?

I.e. supply level 1-2 isnt giving out AP ammo, etc. right?

[rotund moss]

i would assume you can find more ammo and consumables to buy

[lapis silo]

Yes, it should be fine. Trader inventory is still tied to Goodwill, so you wont be able to "skip ahead"

[strong ice]

Very good

I might give that a try then, thanks for the info!

[lapis silo]

It just makes more traders worth visiting, instead of them just offering a bottle of water and a can of tuna

Sure, no worries!

[graceful iron]

thanks for clarifying all this, i guess trader overhaul is still an option with gamma economy

[lapis silo]

My pleasure, I quite like the addon and will probably reactivate it soon for my current run

[late herald]

keybind for a jamming weapon?

[dense blaze]

#📎mods-added-for-next-build There's gonna a new build/release client? Or is that just referring to the moddb release?

[magic reef]

Whats the stance on updating vs reinstall gamma everytime there is an update. Some say it causes crashes with update only

[cedar raptor]

@willow hawk is the lightning supposed to look like that on the SR25 replacer?

[willow hawk]

Yes ?

It's just that Hip was pointing her flashlight at it

[cedar raptor]

hm

[magic reef]

Is it possible to code a npc free zone around entrance and exit of maps to prevent instant death when loading in?

[graceful iron]

z, #│💻keybinds-in-gamma

its in the game control settings

[graceful iron]

its safer to update using a complete gamma installation, but grok is investigating why updating seems to cause more errors i guess ? you can use a complete installation to update every few days or even every week or two

[magic reef]

Ok thanks

[noble oar]

the optional trader overhaul, do you use it with the gamma economy overhauls or do you use it separately for a different experience?

[graceful iron]

apparently you can use both or one of them

trader overhaul by itself allows you to buy armor and guns so it takes from the intended gamma experience

[noble oar]

I see, I wasnt sure how they'd interact together but I think that makes sense

I'll keep that in mind

thank you

[graceful iron]

#🔨base-gamma-support message see this conversation above for more on that

[fringe radish]

Is there any way to revert the Radiation changes done recently?

[sterile cedar]

crashing everytime i sleep, any ideas?

sleep deprivation is on so is water deprivation, i read to never touch them but they already came turned on

[graceful iron]

what does this error say ?

[sterile cedar]

the waiting time has been reached or some shit like that, its in portuguese

[slow fox]

Stupid question, where do i find the red gas balloon? Its needed for the liquid fuel stove

[lapis silo]

Buy from traders, Beard or Barman has em. Its locked behind supply level 3 or something like that though

[graceful iron]

its bought from traders, kerosene is more cost effective tho

[slow fox]

I need it to craft the stove

[graceful iron]

oh..

[slow fox]

Unless there are other suggestions?😀

[graceful iron]

nvm then, you can buy the stove from butcher for less than most other traders ?

the garbage depot trader

[slow fox]

Yeah barman is a pass i play as unisg

Oh sweet ill check butcher out

[lapis silo]

F lol, the merc trader is your only option. Or disguise

[slow fox]

Yeah i checked the merc trader but he doesnt sell it

[graceful iron]

you cant do that as a UNISG unless you use some disguise to get to these traders

[slow fox]

May be supply level too low

I got supply level 2 with merc

[graceful iron]

higher level probably, also make sure to check aslan, the trader on the second floor of merc's base

[slow fox]

Why? Butcher is fine with who i am

[north turret]

Aslan sells food so probably

[slow fox]

I bought a lot of stuff from him he likes me

Ok i ll get the supply up then

[lapis silo]

Thats probably the way to go

[graceful iron]

i mean if you can talk to butcher as a UNISG then sure, its best if you buy it from him

[slow fox]

Getting from dead city to garbage is a pain

[sterile cedar]

okay so using the sleeping bag (the item) doesnt crash the game but using the bed in rookie village does crash the game.... thats a certified x-ray moment

[graceful iron]

its better to sleep in a sleeping bag anyways (who needs a bed anyways)

[slow fox]

Ok i can actually buy the multi fuel stove from Dushman with level 2 supply

[brisk zinc]

@graceful iron I'm not sure about it but I think that Butcher can't be leveled

[tacit sparrow]

What should I spend my monney on

[graceful iron]

i was not saying he can be

[brisk zinc]

I know

[graceful iron]

ammo, meds and food or cooking equipment for better food

[brisk zinc]

Look the name of the channel

[graceful iron]

you are asking ?

no he cant be leveled

[brisk zinc]

Yes
It's related to what MagicTuna was asking as well

Because if he's trying to get it from Butcher, maybe it's impossible if Butcher can't go up

I've done many tasks for him, always lvl. 1

[graceful iron]

he has the stove from the start, so he does not level up and no need to level him up

[brisk zinc]

Perfect then

[warm cliff]

is it possible to save my keybinds so they don't reset every time I update GAMMA?

[graceful iron]

this for mcm.
for game settings you can back up the user ltx in anomaly/appdata and then move it back after updating

[warm cliff]

nice, thx

[whole pewter]

Relating to my earlier issue with Vorobushkin. I wanted to update anyone else with the problem. I almost have it fixed. I can respawn him, and assign the logic to him etc, I can also remove him from being dead. He appears to respawn with the map. However, the previous part of the mission still shows as failed trying to redirect to the "find Vorobushkin". I am investigating, and will update if I manage to find a fix for it.

[slow fox]

Question thats worth a million bux, can i as unisg go and buy an artefact melter from sakharov?

Maybe disguised?

Last time i was hiding in his bunker from a psi storm and he came in from the outside, saw me inside, and yeeted the hell outta there

Hatchet was slain with ease with the modded k98 with ap ammo

[graceful iron]

only disguised, yes

[wraith token]

You kill Hatchet, then expect papa Sakh to still sell you stuff?

[slow fox]

What if i pay Aslan to make them not shoot me, then go to sakharov? Is he gonna sell or do i still need disguise?

[slow fox]

Hatched started it

[graceful iron]

you need the disguise, paying someone to have a faction not shoot you does not allow you to go close to them to even talk to them

[slow fox]

Ok thanks

Someone was mentioning that with the new update AP slug sniping is now viable? Has this happened do you know?

[wraith token]

You kinda could always

Just needed a shotgun with a scope

[slow fox]

I see

[graceful iron]

AP slugs got a buff to bullet speed

[wraith token]

Grok was specifically talking about how the new RAPTR shotgun will be able to take a larger scope

For easy sniping

[slow fox]

Has it already been implemented?

[wraith token]

The raptr is not

[slow fox]

Ok

[wraith token]

but the buff to bullet speed is

You can pretty easily hit targets with slugs even without a scope

[slow fox]

I just got a saiga that i fixed, should be sweet

So far one could classify my run as a k98 modded run. Not even on purpose lol

[sonic field]

Hey Grok I understand this is probably a common question but what is your vision for GAMMA 1.0 and will it be installed differently to it’s current method?

To reiterate, at what point will GAMMA be ready for a 1.0 release?

[willow hawk]

GAMMA 1.0 is soon

No the install process will be the same

check #📎to-do , there are some indication about what's needed to do before 1.0 release

[grave plover]

[north turret]

Gamma 1.0

[sonic field]

Cheers mate

[willow hawk]

Most important things to do: add the new guns, revamp NPCs loadouts to include the new guns, fix the sleep bugs

[grave plover]

dont know if it will help but, for me i crashed when i had middle bars (game didnt let sleep) and i took sleeping pills, then proceed to sleep 8+ hours with sleeping bag

[willow hawk]

Yup I know sleep stuff is shaky

I'm doing my best to finish guns then I'll work on that

[midnight void]

Does the total number of stalkers in zone change after starting a new game. I raised the mutant and stalker population in ZCP to 1.2 and 1.5 respectively and started my gameplay as freedom but the total stalkers seems to be at 296 at start. I tinkered with anomaly's original population settings before that.

[hollow wyvern]

when I press M key- I hear strange beep sound. I checked game keybinds and in MCM too - and couldn't find anything on that button

[graceful iron]

they change after save/load, that stalker number is not accurate

[graceful iron]

night vision scopes, can only be changed in the gamma keybind fixes mod files

#│💻keybinds-in-gamma

[junior junco]

Thanks

[graceful iron]

also, 1.5 is quite a bit you might want to reduce that a bit

small changes to zcp can lead to huge differences

[hollow wyvern]

how can I enable quick slots gui?

[graceful iron]

its in UI/HUD settings ?

[hollow wyvern]

in ingame options?

[graceful iron]

oh wait.. sorry about that

i thought it meant the belt slots

i think its disabled by the minimalistic HUD ?

[hollow wyvern]

in MO2?

[graceful iron]

a mod, not sure if you can change it easily or not and i am not even sure it is what changes this

[hollow wyvern]

I look rn on ui_keybinding.xml in that folder
and dont know how to change the keys, because it has some custom exes?

[graceful iron]

open in explorer

[hollow wyvern]

ok, so if I change _M to other key - it will work like I want?

[graceful iron]

yes, but if you want a special key or a mouse key then its a different story

but letter keys work the same as the M

[hollow wyvern]

ok. just in case: where can I get special key list?

[graceful iron]

not really sure how the special keys work, but i know mouse keys are numbers

[odd finch]

Not sure if this is the best place for this... I Get a slight stutter every 4-5 seconds, anyone have any ideas?
doesnt sound much, but it really takes you out of the game XD

nvm gonna try this:

Grok — 04/08/2022

Game stutters and have bad Framerate

Removing stutters by turning off core 0 for Anomaly.exe once launched.

Turn off core 0 for Anomaly. CTRL+Shift+ESC while in game. Right click Anomaly process > Details > Set Affinity > Untick core 0. Also, click Priority > High. You can also check this guide: https://www.makeuseof.com/how-to-manually-allocate-cpu-cores-windows-10/ (edited)

srry guys 🙂

[junior junco]

The reason I increased it was because I saw no one other than a random freedomer and just important npcs when I started the game

[graceful iron]

its a bug and it can happen even with 10 population, its not a population issue

you can keep the standard population settings(0.6 for both) but try starting a new save and see if random stalkers start to appear again, also make sure mutant population in game settings is on .25 and stalker is on 1.0 just in case those still affect population somehow

[hollow wyvern]

found full list of dik_keys http://www.flint.jp/misc/?q=dik&lang=en

[graceful iron]

thanks

[graceful iron]

wait are you sure those same ones work for the anomaly engine?

[hollow wyvern]

it is the same dik keys for any other programs, no?

numpad worked for me at least. lol

[graceful iron]

its not the same for mouse ones i believe, so i am not sure

[graceful iron]

i guess it works then

[hollow wyvern]

about the mouse - it didn't work for me from your screenshot

[graceful iron]

the numbers ?

what keybind did you change ?

[hollow wyvern]

yep

I tryed DIK_341 and DIK_337

it is mb4 and mb1

[graceful iron]

yes but for what keybind? also those are already used and have something conflicting with them in mcm or game settings most likely

make sure to change these first if they conflict with what you changed the keybinds to

[hollow wyvern]

for night vision scopes - M

default

[graceful iron]

mb one is shoot did you try mb 3 or 5 ? but 3 is bound to quick melee in game settings

[hollow wyvern]

tried 5 - no luck

[graceful iron]

weird, are you just listening to the sound or are you testing on a night vision scope? some sounds dont carry over to the new keybinds

[hollow wyvern]

sound)

shi. but sound was carry over on numpad 5

[graceful iron]

now i am confused, ok so its probably not working for mouse keys for some reason ?

[hollow wyvern]

maybe some brackets needed IDK

lilke []

[graceful iron]

someone tested these mouse keys before, they should work just fine

[north turret]

Any reason why FDDA rework is disabled by default ?

[graceful iron]

causes a crash, for now

[junior junco]

I set these settings to default with no effect. Then I realized I had enabled zombie spawns in MCM. Disabled it and now stalker population is back to normal

[graceful iron]

never enable zombies, they take the spawns of other stalkers and can spawn almost everywhere

[junior junco]

yeah i just realized that now. Wondered why they were disabled

[graceful iron]

somethings are like that for a reason, not just cuz why not . its always better to ask first

[junior junco]

i thought zombies were classified as mutants. Is this the same for zombified stalkers?

[north turret]

Oh i see, thank you! I'm curious, what's causing the crash ? If it's known of course

[graceful iron]

if someone knows it would probably be grok, but i have no idea and there is no error i can recognize myself in the crash logs

[graceful iron]

wait... its only zombified stalkers that break spawns, normal zombies are fine

[magic reef]

A question, I press the END key and is that to turn off the whole reshader? Pressing it brightness, bloom and color saturation goes down a bit but I actually prefer that greyish look more?

[graceful iron]

dont change this (first image), keep this disabled (second image) and keep the normal zombies enabled (third image) @junior junco

[junior junco]

Actually i had both on. Spawned myself at another starting location and zombies spawned along me in the base. anyway I was trying out different settings before starting a new game

[north turret]

I see thanks, you know what triggers the crash ? I'd still prefer playing with it IF it is avoidable or something

[junior junco]

Ok gotcha!!

[graceful iron]

it crashes on load or new save so i dont think its avoidable, and right now fdda is enabled so you dont have to worry about that, you still have animations for drugs and food and you can change what is enabled and disabled in the mcm but try to not enable skinning and looting anims as they can cause busy hands

[north turret]

Got it thank you ! So i can leave rework disabled then ?

[graceful iron]

yes

[north turret]

Thank you

[fleet cedar]

How do you raise efficiency of anomalies ?

[graceful iron]

anomalies? do you mean artefacts? #│📚manual artefacts reinvention

its a device called the artefact melter

[odd finch]

how do I put the heart anomoly (in the n00b quests) into the damn storage container? it's driving me nuts 🙂

[graceful iron]

is it a radioactive artefact ?

[odd finch]

I assume so

as the quest giver (Fanatic) gives you the storage for it

and mentions that most of the atefacts are raidoactive nowerdays.

[graceful iron]

what is the artefact called?

if its a radioactive one you can drag and drop it on this (containers)

[odd finch]

"heart" and yeah, i think you are right, Nothing on it says it is radioactive

[graceful iron]

since when does fanatic ask for a "heart" artefact?

what is going on here

[wraith token]

Think homie got lucky and found a heart while doing the quest for fanatic to get a jellyfish

But is confused.

[graceful iron]

there is no heart artefact that i know of(unless its one of the artefact hunters ones)... and there is no way to obtain hear of the oasis other than the spot at jupiter

[wraith token]

Heart is one of the perk based ones added

[graceful iron]

oh.. nvm i forgot that one existed

[wraith token]

Yeah. But you are right that fanatic wouldn't be asking for one.

Unless grok changed the quest.

[proven lynx]

he still asks for the jellyfish

[graceful iron]

he wants another artefact that spawns in the trash compactor anomaly, its called jelly fish

[odd finch]

O.O so i got luck and got one to spawn that i wasnt supposed to get?

[odd finch]

yeah im there

[graceful iron]

its random, not much luck there just RNG

[odd finch]

but right next to the random radioactive bread was the heart, so thought that was it XD

[proven lynx]

radioactive bread is best artifact💪

[odd finch]

yeah he still asks for jellyfish

[graceful iron]

you only need the jellyfish

keep looking around

[whole pewter]

In answer to my question ages ago. I have solved the Vorbushkin dying during Artefact Hunters and that story ending. Took me ages researching all the correct files to get the answer, but this is now tested & verified. It's all in the txt file I am attaching. This should also work (using the correct syntax) for other NPC's in that storyline if they should die. No idea why he died, he is set as immortal correctly, but perhaps I shot him during the Operation Afterglow story?

[odd finch]

ok thanks guys 😄

[wise sparrow]

I've had them die after I wake up from sleeping.

[wise sparrow]

good work though

[whole pewter]

I don't like unsolved mysteries 🙂
Took a lot of digging to find all the right syntax, and had to refresh my memory on the game structure to do it, but got there in the end. In theory should be able to track down any other problematic npc's now, until my old age causes me to forget how again

[dapper iron]

I enable compass in MO2, but How do you show the compass instead of the minimap? Which botton to press or what option in the menu? I dont know where it is. I still see the minimap

[odd finch]

any tips on rads? I cant get the artifact without dying from rads shortly after -.-

-.- nvm i havnt actually been wearing my mask and armour

[wise sparrow]

you need to only have one ticked. untick minimap in that section and have compass ticked. use forward slash to toggle minimap/compass in game. the compass will be at the bottom of your screen.

[dapper iron]

[hollow wyvern]

why I cannot hear my anomaly detector.

when I near anomalies - there is no beeping sound

[brisk zinc]

Options

Check in there

There is an option you need to turn on

[hollow wyvern]

ah, I thought that sound can be played only if detector is in the slot

[brisk zinc]

You don't have a detector for anomalies from what I remember

You have a detector for radiations, you can enable or disable the sound for that as well, as in "you need to have it equipped in order to hear them" or something like that

[hollow wyvern]

yeah, but I thought that detector of artefacts can be used for anomaly detection as well

[sterile rapids]

Is there a way to lower the amount of max carry weight, feel like 80kg is already a tad much

[brisk zinc]

And I mean anomalies, not artefacts

[brisk zinc]

No you're right, there is a detector actually

Svarog IIRC

Or Veles if the name is correct

There is one detector that lets you see them on the screen

[hollow wyvern]

feature request then) make beeping sound enabled only if you have detector in hands)

even the shitty one

[grave plover]

put it on #old-feedback-suggestions

[brave hemlock]

post the crashlog whole

[slender thicket]

Is there any way to remove damaged legs from hurting you while sprinting? it's a huge pain to micro manage when you start taking damage at like 74% leg health

[brave hemlock]

folks, what's the best exo?

[slender thicket]

I figured it out. MCM > Body Health

[severe seal]

hello

I have done certain Arena combats and my sight is messed up!

has anyone an idea how to fix this?

the sight remain after ending the arena cycle

its weirdly streched

[south pagoda]

OpenAL is configured properly, Audio's good in other games, Anomaly included - where i dont experience what i am in Gamma: I get this sound, often around campfires - but not every one. Happens in other situations, maybe near certain anomalies, other things - sound like - hollows out, gets way more quiet, subtle muffling and crackling like if someone where fiddling with a bit loose headphone jack, sometimes resolves after 20-30 seconds, other times seems i need to move away from the area.

Others experience this or similar in gamma?

[brave hemlock]

ok, artefact and containers are bugged? I made three full empties, merged them to get one with 44% efficiency, decided to use it so put it into the advanced container. Looked at it and now the efficiency is suddenly 14%

I took the full empty out and now the efficiency is 20%

WTF?

[south pagoda]

gamma up to date? i had that recently, less than a week ago, updated install, good to go

[brave hemlock]

updated it a few days ago

[south pagoda]

maybe do again, there was an update i think that artifact repair broke, then a fix to it right after

[brave hemlock]

omfg

I normally have to reinstall everything from scratch on updates

the update functionality is not very robust

so it would be good to make sure I lack updates

[topaz berry]

can u find exp tools in limansk?

[willow hawk]

I agree...

[willow hawk]

no

[topaz berry]

but you can find them in red forest right?

or no?

[willow hawk]

Yes In Red Forest +

Every zone you need the psy helmet for

[topaz berry]

so why not in limansk?

is there a reason?

[willow hawk]

Cause you can access it early

Well I had the choice of making limansk accessible or not

I like the fact that you can take the risk to rush limansk to get good gear

but getting expert kit there ? Oh hell no

[topaz berry]

but you can access red forest early

[willow hawk]

you gotta farm Radar or other much more dangerous areas

[willow hawk]

Oh yeah sure, try getting there

and enjoy your death by the psy barrier

[topaz berry]

ye but you can buy the helmet and go there

[willow hawk]

You can go to Limansk and hospital if you are crazy enough

[willow hawk]

sure

you need the helmet though

[brave hemlock]

ok folks, where I find bleprints for advanced power supplies? Can I get all of them from Sakharov?

[willow hawk]

and rads will most likely kill you

[willow hawk]

Sakharov and Mercs, Supply Lv5

[brave hemlock]

will Sakharov lv5 be enough?

I don't wanna do quests for mercs

[topaz berry]

i think i can manage with a merc pathfinder and a sphere helmet

[willow hawk]

If you got them, for sure, and it's intended

You can grab the helmet and go to north early if you want

[north turret]

i had decent'ish gear and when i tried i got destroyed by either Rads or Monolith

unless you play on easy and lowered mcm

no chance

[topaz berry]

i usually carry the rad resist meds

[north turret]

you will run out pretty fast

[topaz berry]

i actually found an interesting exploit

if you buy

science med kit

like the box

idk how its called

the 16k one from ecologists

you can unpack it

and sell stuff for profit

and keep what you need

but only if you buy it from them

on medium difficulty and medium progresion

[willow hawk]

you mean you make more money selling its content than buying it ?

[topaz berry]

yea you can buy the kit for 16k

and sell everything for 20-21 k

[willow hawk]

another fix to push

[topaz berry]

only the epipen is 6 k

i usually keep the water and rad meds

and sell everything else

[flat cairn]

Is there a way to keep user settings and mo2 loadout? I would like to update, but don't want to change settings

[willow hawk]

There's something called GAMMA MCM (rename it blabla)

Just rename it as indicated

[flat cairn]

❤️

[willow hawk]

Your user.ltx (graphics) will be reset though

If you do a complete install to update, make sure to keep the MCM folder

In the next version of the installer I'll make a single purpose button that will remove "GAMMA owned" mods and reinstall them

[brisk zinc]

Remove the "- Rename to keep your personal changes"

Next time you'll do an update, you'll get the same mod with the same name

Delete the new mod and keep the one you named

[flat cairn]

❤️

[delicate wharf]

Or just be like me and take the 2 minutes to redo your settings when you update

[hollow wyvern]

@willow hawk can you pls move russian channel to be above the social channel?
It is hard for new users to see that there is official russian chanel here)
I didn't know it. And some new guys too)

[hollow wyvern]

zcp zombie spawn - why is it dissabled by default?

[north turret]

They already spawn

if you activate them there it will screw with spawns

[brave hemlock]

How does it work? There's nobody around me:

my followers?

[north turret]

Your followers.

[hollow wyvern]

how should I know if same settings will screw another?

[north turret]

it's just that one

[brave hemlock]

omfg, obnoxious AF

[real chasm]

Rads got updated to be more of a threat, but were they also changed to be harder to get rid of? Soaked up about 1/5th of the bar and even anti-rad drugs aren't making them go away

[north turret]

I Have a question, how to i load the old GAMMA addons, i disabled some and now i want to have again 250 addons in the Mod Organizer

[hollow wyvern]

about BHS - will my limbs heal when time passed?

[real chasm]

They will if you sleep. You can edit the script file to change that, though

If you search for "injuries" in MO2 you can find it in gamedata -> scripts

you can change the time for "local regen=0" from 0 to however many milliseconds you want. So if you changed it to local regen=600000 then you would regen one point every 10 minutes

[brave hemlock]

folks, is there a way to toggle the info panel that appears on hover?

It's quite annoying to look for parts and whatnot when the thing appears

[brisk zinc]

GAMMA have a mod that take the tooltip on the left part of the screen just for that reason

[brave hemlock]

well, that's not helpful since I often look for parts in trader's inventories or in my chest

in fact, it would be more useful if that thing would always be on the right side if the left side inventory is taken

or better yet, toggle the thing

I've been using my Howa type 20 lately. A pretty good gun. The only thing I miss there is the silencer. But nothing fits 😦

[west heath]

what do you do with artefacts? can't sell them for money and when I equip them they seem to degrade really quickly

[brisk zinc]

Before you use them you need to get them to a good condition

You need to use the Artefact Melter™️

[west heath]

i use them at 100% efficiency but they go down as soon as i wear them

[brisk zinc]

Well that's normal

They're not infinite

[west heath]

well it seems to go down really quickly like its not even been 30 minutes and it is at 80% already

is that normal?

[brave hemlock]

you can make them infinite though in the config. I don't bother with the durability of artefacts.

[west heath]

where can I find the setting to toggle that?

this?

[brave hemlock]

looks right

[west heath]

ty

[brave hemlock]

np

[west heath]

also is there a setting to reduce the effect of hunger/thirst?

make them last longer before I have to eat again

[brisk zinc]

Don't know about a setting but I suggest you to eat mutant meat

Forget about other type of food, mutant meat it's the best

[brave hemlock]

ye, it has lots of calories. Just cook it beforehand

[west heath]

i generally keep away from zone foods because of radiation

[brisk zinc]

You're in for a treat then

You can cook it

[west heath]

so i've just been buying canned food

cooking removes rads?

[brisk zinc]

Save your money and trust me

[brisk zinc]

Of course

[hoary veldt]

Cook the food with Vodka/Purified Water and watch the magic

[west heath]

haha fuck i've probably spent like 100k on fucking cans of sweetcorn

[brisk zinc]

You'll wonder why you didn't do it before

100%

[hoary veldt]

Purified Masculine Meals filling my belly and my carry weight

[brave hemlock]

lol

[west heath]

where can I cook it?

[brisk zinc]

It's really much better than eating MRE or canned food

[hoary veldt]

Any campfire works with charcoal recipes

[brisk zinc]

Campfires but you need the right tool

[hoary veldt]

For those higher tier meals, you'll need a hi-tier stove + kerosene/jerry can

Well worth it, trust me

[west heath]

for some regular dog meat or something, do I need anything or can I just bring it to a campfire?

[hoary veldt]

Yeah, just head to a campfire with a cooking kit

Looks like a blue stove

[west heath]

got it

[hoary veldt]

That way you don't have to carry or buy heavy ass charcoal around

Keep the vodka and the canteens of water in your main stash

Stuff is heavy and helps cook the meals

[brisk zinc]

@hoary veldt correct me if I'm wrong

With "charcoal recipes" you don't need charcoal with a campfire, right?

[hoary veldt]

Nope, just be near a campfire and have a cooking kit

If it doesn't work, move closer

[brisk zinc]

@quiet willow go and make us proud

[brisk zinc]

Exactly

I told Grok about it

It should be fixed now

[hoary veldt]

[west heath]

[hoary veldt]

That's the one

[brisk zinc]

Yes

It have limited uses like everything so be sure of what you want to cook

Spare your money for vodka and water and forget about everything else

Cooked food it's incredible and it's one main key feature of GAMMA

[hoary veldt]

Stewed is good

But when you've had a taste of the buffs Purified food gives you

[delicate wharf]

also if you just massacre enough stalkers and get stashes from missions you will get plenty of high tier mutant food from my experience

no cooking or buying needed

[graceful iron]

i am sorry, high tier mutant food ?

looted ?

[delicate wharf]

yea as in cooked with water/alcohol level of food

[graceful iron]

no no, i know that but you looted the cooked food ?

[delicate wharf]

yup

[hoary veldt]

Monolith sometimes drop Stewed or Purified foods

[delicate wharf]

stashes and stalkers

just keep killing

[hoary veldt]

Very rarely though, every 1 in 40 rock worshipper I killed has them and it's usually stewed

[delicate wharf]

first 1-2 days in the zone you have to probably buy/cook but once you are rolling in stashes? I get plenty

[graceful iron]

only cooked food i ever looted was zone produced and some stewed, never knew purified was possible to loot

[hoary veldt]

I've had it happen like, twice or so

So it's incredibly rare and honestly it's usually purified Dog Chops

[graceful iron]

are you sure its the food with buffs you are looting ? sorry but through the many runs on gamma i never seen purified food on stalkers it really seems impossible to have that much of it you dont even need to cook it

[delicate wharf]

this is just the food on me rn

I have more stashed

[graceful iron]

thats 1

[delicate wharf]

I have never cooked anything but a couple things of zone produced bacon

[brisk zinc]

Cat isn't very quick today
