[fleet grail]

Or even 50k

There needs to be a work around similiar as 5x basic to advanced, but scaled to 5x advanced to expert but not permament, only limited access

[cobalt lintel]

Z didnt seem to fix it. Every time i reload it puts the weapon away then immediately re-equips it.

[hoary veldt]

You have Mags Redux enabled?

(Referring to Spammy, FYI, just in case)

[cobalt lintel]

Its unchecked on MO2 so I'm assuming thats the culprit?

[graceful iron]

and break the whole point of the gamma progression, sure

[hoary veldt]

No no, if it's unchecked then you don't need to worry about it

Odd though, not sure why you wouldn't be able to use a weapon even with a jam cleared

This may officially be beyond my realm of knowledge

[fleet grail]

"whole point of gamma progression"

[graceful iron]

try pressing it again, some jams need to be unjammed twice if the gun is really damaged

[willow hawk]

Just go to Radar already

The idea is that you have to go to dangerous places to get your expert toolkit

[delicate sand]

@willow hawk, hi, could you explain in two words why do the nosorogs have this section with !rad !tel !strike when the other outfits in mod_system_gamma_no_integrated are deprived of this?

[willow hawk]

To remove their integrated helmets protection

since there's no integrated helmets anymore in GAMMA

which is anyway a super bullshit idea, I don't understand who could come up with such bullshit

[fleet grail]

imo sevas should have integrated helmets.

[delicate sand]

so how can I change strike protection if needed? I made another dltx file with settings, just type strike_protection in it?

below coressponding item

[willow hawk]

Check outfits ltx files

most likely it's strike_protection yes

[cobalt lintel]

Perhaps not! Upon further investigation, weapon unjamming wasn't binded. After binding it to Z and testing it fixed the weird weapon swapping issue. At last, I can use other weapons and attachments. Farewell starter SKS with your single PU scope attachment.

[strong ice]

is there any point to using helmets like the ACH? it has almost no radiation protection, which means you can't go anywhere... just for a "decent" level of ballistic protection... feels pointless to use.

[hoary veldt]

Ah yeah, then it was jammed then. Glad it fixed it though, so now you know any random weapon swaps when reloading is because of jams

[graceful iron]

some outfits have decent radiation resistance but still will only be enough for south maps, so probably no point in using this one

[delicate sand]

Will try, thanks a lot

[willow hawk]

Helmets reduce the camera shake a lot when you are getting headshotted. Also, it prevents lots of ammo to penetrate your head = less headshot damages

[strong ice]

Yeah but for helmets that have no radiation protection, it seems unusable

[willow hawk]

it needs testing, but I'm pretty sure only helmet rads res counts

[willow hawk]

Well after dying because of a headshot, you'll see that ACH or ACHEX aren't that bad

ACHEX also have decent rads protection

Rads protectants are a thing you know....

[strong ice]

Yeah but the normal ACH seems like a bloat feature almost since it has only like 2-3% radiation protection. And radio protectants are okay, but usually not viable to use in place of a gas mask

[willow hawk]

yeah well

not everything can be unique and useful

People should stop nitpicking that kind of stuff

[strong ice]

😦 give ACH an upgrade called “respirator attachment” that gives it +10 rad protection

Makes it more viable, and worthwhile to use in place of cheaper helmets, without being too OP

[willow hawk]

Guess what,

there's one

[strong ice]

For +10?

😮

[willow hawk]

all helmets have +10 rads res upgrade

with advanced kit

[strong ice]

That’s OP

Time for new mega

Meta*

[willow hawk]

The meta is SEVA helmet early anyways

[strong ice]

Yes

[willow hawk]

I'm sometimes baffled by the amount of nitpicking some people can go......... People should play vanilla Anomaly and appreciate all the way that has been made to have GAMMA... Indeed there's a lot of little things here and there but GAMMA balance is the work of one person, for fucking free

[strong ice]

Also just letting you know, dead city starts as a merc are super hard due to the radiation pockets EVERYWHERE, in dead city.

I refuse to play vanilla anomaly anymore bc it’s trash compared to gamma

That’s why I have to nitpick gamma, in an attempt to make it even better ❤️

[willow hawk]

Mercs is high risk high reward

[fleet grail]

try unisg mfw not even possible to start with a gasmask

[willow hawk]

if you know what you are doing, everything is fine

[strong ice]

@willow hawk in turn to make up for nitpicking I can send pictures of my dog

[fleet grail]

[graceful iron]

its do-able and becomes easy once you learn how to do it, grok already buffed the starting gasmask by a little

i am on one currently and the start is kind of rough but its fun and not too difficult

[strong ice]

yeah, theres just lots of weird and annoying radiation pockets in dead city, like a super bad one that is in the south building. which is meant to be a "safe" area that lets you quicksave in.

[graceful iron]

i know that one, its dynamic rads and best thing you could do is get better rads res or avoid it

[slow fox]

How does the upgrade system affect overall stats? example: Sin overcoat has 17% bullet resistance. I did an upgrade that gives +5%. is it 22% now? or how is it calculated?

[graceful iron]

it wont be 22% not sure how exactly its calculated but its definitely not additive

[fleet grail]

Didin't Grok make it definitely additive now?

[steep pollen]

hello, is it worth it to fuse the artifacts to sell them? in terms of money

[fleet grail]

Dont think so, since 64k arte only sells for aroun 24k, and you lost charges on the arte machine

[graceful iron]

#old-feedback-suggestions message literally. @fleet grail

[grave canopy]

Sphere m12 or sphere 08?

[graceful iron]

isnt the m12 just better? you can hold left alt over items in the inventory to see their full stats

[steep pollen]

nice

[graceful iron]

you can charge the artefact melter by feeding it other artefacts you dont need

[slow fox]

is the APS pistol any good? I can see Olivar is selling it and an upgrade kit for it

Do you get more money for the quest is the condition is better?

[graceful iron]

artefact quests? yes

[lapis silo]

APS is amazing at the start

Full auto 9x18, super cheap and with the upgrade kit you can get a silencer. It really slaps

[willow hawk]

Problem is, it shouldn't be in the traders

[lapis silo]

Oh, I missed that one

[graceful iron]

the actual pistol is not supposed to be sold, the kit is fine

[grave canopy]

lebedev pl-15 any good?

[slow fox]

Wtf is a karlik

[grand fiber]

slappy psy midget

[craggy fable]

"Карлик" means dwarf.

Or midget.

Is there something in the game called "karlik"?

[slow fox]

I speak Russian i know what it means

[grand fiber]

yes

[slow fox]

I just haven’t seen one before i dont think

[graceful iron]

its a mutant, a small creature that wants to eat your face

[grand fiber]

you'll know when you find one

[craggy fable]

Huh. Haven't seen this one yet and I am up in Zaton.

Is it only in Pripyat and CNPP?

[covert tide]

Hey guys, can someone send the config responsible for the parameters of the exo armor?

[graceful iron]

its a really rare mutant

[slow fox]

I found it right now in Jupiter

Near that electro anomaly field

Yeah it was running towards me asking for money i think

Drops controller brain tissue

[graceful iron]

it has a psy effect around it, not sure if it has any psy attacks tho

[slow fox]

I heard it mumbling something I think

[tropic orbit]

Is there no way to enhance efficiency of the artefacts that cant be empowered via AM

[graceful iron]

all artefacts can be empowered except the knot (i think)

[tropic orbit]

Im running a few tests so I can understand the armor repair and artefact mechanics

Aside from the perk ones looks like heart of the oasis cant be enhanced

[graceful iron]

the heart of the oasis is the only bugged artefact, grok said he will fix it , someday

[tropic orbit]

Might be a few more unenhancable but im still checking

Ohhhh

I see i see

[slow fox]

is there a way to see which BR level each armor has?

[graceful iron]

not currently, no

[slow fox]

surely berill 5m has a worse BR than the PCZ 7P right?

[graceful iron]

i cant remember which one is that, its a duty suit ?

[slow fox]

yes its the "shell" suit

idk ive been using the berill 5m and tuned it up a bit so i have almost max rupture resist

[tropic orbit]

I think you can technically check

[slow fox]

in PCZ 7p id need to decide between 5% ballistic or 5% suit durability

[tropic orbit]

By looking for the value of the ballistic resistance via debug

[graceful iron]

check the base ballistic resistances of both

[slow fox]

the pcz has 8% base more

[graceful iron]

but i assume it loses some other protections ?

[slow fox]

yeah like rupture

[graceful iron]

the berill5 is a good mid tier suit that can carry you for a while in terms of damage resistances except it has worse anomalous, carry weight and belt slots

compare that to the shell and see if its worth replacing, i personally dont know much about that specific suit

[slow fox]

i looked and basically im getting more ballistics for the cost of 20% rupture

[slow fox]

Could someone please confirm whether the upgrades are additive? Eg does +5% ballistic give you flat 5%? If starting protection is 20%, after upgrade will i have 25% or? I know this was changed recently but i cant find it.

[tidal raft]

Multiplicative.

If your outfit have no radiation resistance what-so-ever, you won't benefit from a rads protection upgrade.

[craggy fable]

Fuck.

Would have been nice to know that.

Guess who upgraded the Nosorog last night.

[tidal raft]

Vanilla issue.

[craggy fable]

In that case the upgrade lineup really needs to be reworked, like 60% of the exosuit upgrades are fucking useless.

Especially choices like Thermal/Electric when the suit itself offers 2% resistance to both.

[craggy fable]

@willow hawk sorry to ping you like that, but please look into it. If the upgrades are multiplicative, at least the tier 3 upgrades of Monolit Nosorog are complete trash.

[slow fox]

If original ballistic def is 20%, and i did upgrades that give 10%, ill have then 22% total, correct?

[tidal raft]

It should, yes.

[craggy fable]

Yup.

[slow fox]

I see

[tidal raft]

You will benefit more from upgrading already good protection.

[slow fox]

While we are here, in terms of numbers how much does the durability upgrade affect loss of durability?

Also total damage to gear -5%?

[tidal raft]

Not sure really. Grok said he has his own values for durability damage, considering he broke that a few updates ago—but fixed as of now.
I have no clue how the durability upgrade play into that.

[slow fox]

Ok thanks. I have 10% on my Berill 5m, and I hardly ever loose durability on it

[tidal raft]

Berill is durable all by itself, same with Skat-9—practically indestructible with the recent updates.

[icy dagger]

damn. i wish i saw this earlier. gotta go buy new binos then

[uneven bison]

It's technically a bug so, I'm not gonna blame you if you debug some in idek where you buy binoculars

[willow hawk]

It's additive for physical res. It's multiplicative and weird for anomalous damage res

That's because I rewrote the physical damages to something that make sense

Anomalous damages are still a mystery using garbage engine system

[willow hawk]

It has 0 impact on physical damages but a huge impact on anomalous damages

Which is anyways what's usually fucking up your armor super fast

[willow hawk]

Not really, it helps with boosting artefacts defenses

[willow hawk]

No it should be 30% in ballistic def

Basically refer to the stats displayed on the armor

That's what the system uses to determine resistances

[slow fox]

So basically its a flat bonus?

[willow hawk]

Also, there's ammo pen resistance that plays a huge part in the defense against ammo

Also the armor bonus is multiplied if ammo don't penetrate

On which you add the artefacts defensive sum

So if you want to resist to bullets, most important thing is upgrade ballistic res and have a heavy looking armor

I'll add the ammo pen resistance stat in armors SoonTM

[slow fox]

Like pcz7?

[willow hawk]

The higher the kit, the more bullet pen resistance

[slow fox]

Would pcz7 shell have more resistance than a berill 5m? They are same weight

[willow hawk]

And usually the higher the physical defense the higher the bullet pen res

I can't check right now

Spawn them with debug, equip, get hit, all the formula is displayed in console

[craggy fable]

Basically wear a Nosorog, lol. Although even some bandit ammo still seems to be penetrating.

Can't wait to see the actual armor classes listed, yes. Right now it is a bit too much guesswork.

[willow hawk]

Well it goes that way:

Nosorog = Exo > Exolight > Skat9 > Heavy armors > Hybrid suits > Medium suits > Light suits > SPP suits

Thing is, a 5 slots medium armor with very good artefacts will reach defense cap anyways

[slow fox]

Like full empties and stuff?

[steep pollen]

what's a hybrid suit ?

[willow hawk]

Ammo pen works like, if ammo don't pen, then your armor defense is multiplied by a formula that normalize the defense value

(i.e. the scaling works backwards)

(small armors get a higher boost than super heavy armors)

(so you don't get fucked in 2 bullets early on)

But you add artefacts after that

So with like 3 Compass, you reach max defense anyways

[craggy fable]

Maybe buff the Nosorog a bit then? It was very expensive to rebuild and I honestly don't see much improvement over the regular Exo. +5 carry weight is the only thing that really matters so far.

Doesnt have to be a hard defense buff. Since it is military-style, it could reduce recoil on weapons, for example.

[willow hawk]

Scientific heavy suits

[craggy fable]

I want to be a tank but it seems like the meta is indeed to go light :)

[willow hawk]

Nosorog has better stats altogether and more mobility + better carry weight

I just made Nosorog to move at full speed (100%) while exos work at 95% speed

And Exolight at 90% speed

I can increase their pen res eventually

But with such huge armors you already reach the max defense

It's just that you need maybe only 1 compass to achieve it

Then you can stack other artefacts to auto heal etc

[craggy fable]

Yeah, it would probably be nice. They are a huge investment, especially with the battery requirements.

[craggy fable]

That is true.

[willow hawk]

Exo and Nosorogs have the same investment?

[slow fox]

Most suits ive seen have like 1-2 slots with +1 upgrades. Which ones have 5 slots?

[willow hawk]

Nosorog is just a matter of finding one

[brittle apex]

voyager

[willow hawk]

And the speed boost itself is good enough compared to an exo

[craggy fable]

I thought the upgrade costs were lower on the exo. But I could have misremembered.

[north turret]

not sure if this is the right place to ask, are there any winter mods for anomaly that are compatible with gamma?

[willow hawk]

Well who pays for upgrades

With the new system there's no reason to do it

[brittle apex]

#custom-textures message

[willow hawk]

Yes, YAWM

The particles are already in GAMMA

[north turret]

nice, so should i put it in downloads folder?

i found some tips in additional addons, nice.

[willow hawk]

CTRL+M in MO2 and show the zip

https://anomalymodding.blogspot.com/2021/04/Mod-Organizer-2-setup-and-Amomaly-modding-guide.html

[graceful iron]

press slash, you can change the keybind for it in mcm or just disable minimap in the game settings

[north turret]

it should be? just downloaded the full game, there was not a single error

[graceful iron]

right click reinstall, replace? is it the only one with a red cross ?

how many addons enabled ?

[willow hawk]

Not really important

[north turret]

I don't know what to choose from this

@graceful iron

[paper sable]

What's this?

[dense blaze]

''Darkness'' anomaly added by DAO, pretty spooky and it can even shelter a Poltergeist inside

[long path]

how do I update mods individually? Or do i have to use the whole Complete Gamma Install?

[boreal halo]

Hey guys, why am i getting damage and a sound of breaking glass when near anomalous fields near artifacts?

[stable stag]

I believe the breaking glass is your visor breaking as it loses condition

[boreal halo]

So where does the damage come from?

[stable stag]

Being inside the fields without the respective environmental protection

[graceful iron]

grok said its not important so you can leave it as it is, the number of active addons seems correct and you can completely ignore the other cross in icons

[north turret]

@graceful iron ok. my thanks)

[willow hawk]

fire is hot and your armor gets damaged

[karmic lava]

anyone had mini map constantly disappear? slash key doesn't bring it back nor does the enter key - I have to reload a save for it to appear.

[willow hawk]

Don't press Enter from numpad ?

[karmic lava]

no - nothing works. Interestingly all those UI items disappear also

[tidal raft]

Try save & reload.

[karmic lava]

already said i do that

but it happens all the time - like every couple minutes. Is it possible some other keypress is conflicting?

hmmm- seems to be somethign to do with when I'm in my inventory. Right click menu maybe? Come out of inventory and UI disappears

[magic reef]

Anyone else use 2d pda and no backpack animations? Its such a relief and more enjoyable game flow not to watch those animations

[wraith token]

I think most of us use no backpack anims at this point due to errors. And Grok is a big fan of 2d PDA, but a lot of us still use 3d

This is more for #╓☢stalker-chat tho

[magic reef]

Only animations i use are eating and pickup

Oh ok

[willow hawk]

You disabled UI

[willow hawk]

I play that way

[willow hawk]

I also don't like pickup animation lol

[karmic lava]

yes but i'm not pressing Enter at all. Something else is killing it and it won't reactivate unless I reload

[willow hawk]

Check your keybindings champ

[boreal halo]

Yeah obviously but i'm not walking inside the fire pillars and also i don't have any of the fire indicators vanilla anomaly had when getting fire damage from environment

[willow hawk]

Well I disabled those

[boreal halo]

As seen in the photo

[willow hawk]

Anyway, near fire, you should know it's hot, no need to tell you that

walking near fire pillars that are concentrated without appropriate fire res is death sentence

You don't need a PhD to get that lol

[boreal halo]

Why shouldn't i be able to feel when my body is getting burns when my protection is not enough?

Theese indicators purpose was to tell player if he was getting damage from hot environment when his fire protection was not enough

[craggy fable]

Actually indicators would be nice. Sometimes you are hit by several sources of damage and I'd like to know which exact one is fucking me up.

Right now I have to wonder if its radiation, bleeding or anomalous effect I didn't know about.

Seeing a fire icon would clear things up.

[tender tusk]

Does any trader sell replacement parts for armour like aluminized fiberglass fabrics or do i have to loot them?

[stable stag]

You'll have to loot them or dismantle from armour you find. Only weapon components are sold

[karmic lava]

is there a way of increasing population?

[craggy fable]

You can also disassemble random objects. Some of them drop armor components.

[craggy fable]

Xray crashing intensifies

ZCP has settings for it, I believe. Not sure if you are supposed to mess with them, though.

[graceful iron]

in the mcm for zcp, just dont enable any zombies and only increase/decrease in small numbers and make sure to save/load to apply the changes

[boreal halo]

Is there any option to enable them?

[tidal raft]

Yeah, play Vanilla.

[north turret]

[tidal raft]

You can, but it's at your own risk.
I've doubled the pop rate a few times before.

[north turret]

also, Stalker Squad size and variance multiplies it

to a certain extend

[tribal plover]

Well, duty expansion is kinda nice (new outpost that is), but yeah - sticky camera and, for some reason, changed rewards\task interface in dialogue window kinda nukes it. Idk why would author add something like this, when it'd be just better without it.

Is it salvageable though (i mean, can peasant remove sticky camera and rollback dialogue reward\task UI) or better just leave it till mighty might change it?

[dark wedge]

Does the "Mutants Bleeding" addon cause issues?

[lapis silo]

It's a test addon meant to test the new dialogue system coming in Anomaly 1.6. The story and everything else is more an addition to make it playable and let people playtest it and provide feedback. It's why I can't recommend it really, it won't get updated (most probably) and the missions itself are not that great anyway

[north turret]

to level up barman and sidorovich i need to do missions for them as they are both in the "trader" fraction?

[craggy fable]

I think Sidorovich scales with Loners

I only did a couple of missions for him but he has full stock for me.

I worked with Wolf a lot more.

[north turret]

that make sense

[lapis silo]

Both Barman and Sid are from the loner faction, so they scale with Loner goodwill

[craggy fable]

Where the hell is that stalker whose PDA I have to find in Garbage for the Researchers quest?

The scientist told me that he probably had issues with Bandits...

But in my game Duty has just sent a master-level squad through Garbage and all the Bandits there suddenty and inexplicably died.

So I can't even use them to find the stalker or his PDA.

[lapis silo]

Look at the quest description, they often give you hints. The one you are looking for is at the flea market

[willow hawk]

It's annoying...

[willow hawk]

It's not necessary and causes gameplay issues

I.e. mutants playing dead and jumping at you last moment

People are unnecessarily praising that addon. Mostly because they don't understand the ins and outs of the game and the engine

[craggy fable]

Been there. Everyone on the top floor is dead, for whatever reason. Two stalkers chill on the second floor, though.

But I will look more carefully.

[willow hawk]

Yes

[willow hawk]

It's hard to fix

Also, Duty goodwill scales with Owl now

So the north has a NATO trader scaling with all NATO factions but UNISG and Owl scales with Duty and Loners

[lapis silo]

You should look for a cellar

[willow hawk]

So there's always a trader with max rep usually independently of your starting faction

It reduces the unnecessary grind

Now, don't forget to upgrade scientists goodwill

Since they sell recipes for exos PSU that will cut your batteries consumption by half

[midnight shore]

Gamma is EFP or anomaly ?

[graceful iron]

what? gamma is a modpack for anomaly and EFP is also a modpack for anomaly

[tidal portal]

Might be a dumb question but I haven't really had the chance to play around with em yet -- does crafting a higher tier artifact take the previous artifacts' condition into account?

[warped ginkgo]

i don't think so

[graceful iron]

no, it randomizes it as if picked up from an anomaly

[tidal portal]

good to know

ty

[bright seal]

Does anyone sell the K98 kit?

[craggy fable]

Clear Sky at trader level 2+

Also Nimble on Zaton sells every kit in the game.

I think Freedom traders should have it too, but I don't really interact with Freedom much.

[bright seal]

Thank you bud

[graceful iron]

the mercs at trader level 2

[willow hawk]

No it's randomized

[willow hawk]

EFP and GAMMA are two modpacks for Anomaly.

[midnight shore]

GAMMA is more Story Driven ?

[willow hawk]

GAMMA has more stories yes

But it's more survival oriented

Craft etc

[delicate wharf]

It has various storyline mods. I would say it's more survival and crafting driven. Should check out #│📚manual and #❗welcome

[willow hawk]

Main source of ammo is crafting

[glad path]

how are you supposed to get that stash in the tunnel in the freedom base? All the ground around it is unwalkable and slides you right off it, and the parkour doesnt seem possible

[willow hawk]

Ctrl+shift?

[magic reef]

Hi. I stripped a gun completely except barrel that is at 65%. I must have a toolkit and vice to repair the barrel?

[willow hawk]

Cleaning kit

It's written in yellow on the cleaning kit description

[magic reef]

Tried but did not allow me. I choose use on cleaning kit but that gund did not come up in the list

Its a toz shotgun

[willow hawk]

Read the cleaning kit description carefully

Right click gun > maintain parts

[magic reef]

Ok i right clicked cleaning kit. Going to try it later. Thanks

One thing that is quite useful is if you hover mouse over weapon it shows which kits and spare parts from stash inv and trader that is compatible with it

[willow hawk]

[tidal sentinel]

Hello, I accidentally messed up my particles somehow I believe. The smoke in my game is broke. Whenever I shoot a gun or look at campfire its just black pixels. Would this be under cinematic VFX? I tried uninstalling it and then reinstalling it but it didnt do anything.

ex.

[tender tusk]

Is there a way to adjust armour condition found on enemies? I set the drop condition in the mod configuration menu for master stalkers between 80-95 but every single master stalker has broken armour with condition around 10

[brisk zinc]

You need to repair the armour you want to use

[tender tusk]

I get that but I don't think I can repair armor that has 1 condition on each part

[brisk zinc]

IIRC in that case you need to swap parts with good parts using a repair kit

[tender tusk]

That is the problem I am facing, finding the good parts, I think you can only repair parts that are above 50 condition

[buoyant charm]

The manual tab says that the mechanics can clean guns but not fix the parts and that they cant repair armor but mine fix any armor I bring to 100 on all parts but only clean the guns so I don't know what is wrong with my version of gamma. My version I downloaded about maybe 4 or 5 months ago so is that what's wrong?

[warped ginkgo]

bruh are you still on RC1?

[brisk zinc]

Let me hop in game to check repair things, one sec

[buoyant charm]

I dont know

[warped ginkgo]

but yeah, in that 4-5 months there were a LOT of changes in the progression of the game

i would suggest to try to finish your current playthrough before updating, because i'm not sure if it will be 100% compatible with a version that old

[buoyant charm]

Ive only recently started playing because I have a new job and have time to play but im about 9 hours in on a loner

[brisk zinc]

@tender tusk this is what you're looking for since you want to repair stuff that is basically broken, it's expensive though

You can also use this

[tender tusk]

Does the part repair kit work on weapon parts or armor parts? Or just parts in general?

[brisk zinc]

The first one?

[tender tusk]

Yeah

[buoyant charm]

I just looked and yes im on RC1

[brisk zinc]

It can be used for weapon parts as well and it also should be good for armours parts

I don't have damaged stuff to try it on

[tender tusk]

Thanks for the help

[brisk zinc]

I still suggest to use the other one, the field armour toolkit

The other good thing to do is, like I said, keep one armour that you like and (when you find them) swap the broken parts with the "good enough" parts

[wise sparrow]

You can get to it by holding forward against that beam on the left of your SS and then from there you can make a jump to one of the center beams and then carefully walk towards the stash. Definitely one of the harder stashes to get to in the game.

[sleek dust]

Hey ! It may be a retarded question but i haven't touched anomaly modding in a while so this pack is new to me but, is it compatible with say, RAYS OF ANOMALOUS WORLDS, Hollywood FX. Exactly how modular is the pack ?

Because i fear that once i'm done installing it i change some addons and end up fucking it up

For some reasons my MO2 decided to disabled everything, so I had to re-enabled everything then disabled what I didn't use

issue is, now I have a backpack animation when I open my inventory

how do I disable that?

[delicate wharf]

did you reference the modlist to see what should be enabled/disabled? You may have enabled some that shouldn't be

[bold stump]

wdym by reference

its in reverse order from what shows in mo2

I think it might be easier if I say what's disabled

[delicate wharf]

if you have everything enabled on your end check the list for disabled ones is probably best

also just doing an update in the installer should fix your modlist

@bold stump actually just do this. copy the modlist

#│🔧troubleshooting message

[bold stump]

wait I might have found the issue

I was going to play with limited fast travel disabled in the middle of a playthrough

lemme see if it works now

[delicate wharf]

if you fixed it good if you want to have the default modlist settings copy the one from the gamma folder to the profile as in that screenshot grok showed

that way you have it as it should be before you make changes

[bold stump]

I never modified anything, that's the thing

[delicate wharf]

if you haven't made changes then following the step in that message from grok will force your mo2 list to be the default gamma one

[warped ginkgo]

Search for ' stalker autowalk moddb' on google

[hollow apex]

inside that tunnel just went straight in behind some boxes

yes it's just lying on the ground

oh wait

you are in the wrong tunnel I think

the PDA is in the tunnel with multiple explosives

beside that watch tower

you are in the tunnel to find the artefect which is the next step

[craggy fable]

Kukri or Tomahawk? Want to upgrade my melee weapon.

[hollow apex]

just go with price I think?

[craggy fable]

I don't care about money on that run. Over 100K stashed and nothing to spend it on.

Nosorog + top tier weapons already online, just doing some artefact hunting before pushing to Pripyat and beating the main quest.

Or did you mean "the more expensive one is better"?

[hollow apex]

yes

[craggy fable]

Sometimes. Why?

Heh.

Restart the map from the autosave.

This will definitely fix it.

Also the entrance to the tunnel is not far from the entrance to the map.

[hollow apex]

no matter it's blow or not you can always find that thing in the end of the tunnel, I mean don't take a turn just go straight in, behind many boxes

[desert robin]

Is Lsz AI tweak supposed to be a Red X? And Alife fixes is disabled?

[hollow apex]

I always chuck some nades in before i went through just in case it blow my sh*t up

[serene cedar]

I'm having trouble with the Sortingplus order. Setting the categories rank, such as weapons 1, ammo 2, etc. doesn't seem to work. I have tried a variety of ranks for sorting but they don't change position in my backpack. And, I do have the sorting box ticked on. Does anyone have a fix or an idea?

[graceful iron]

alife is supposed to be disabled and apparently lsz isnt important so you can leave it as it is

[serene cedar]

Will the icons from GBOOBS normal Anomaly work in GAMMA? I like those ones more than the Cr3pis ammo icons.

[summer sandal]

is the hunter's kit worth it?

[graceful iron]

yes, and you dont have to equip it to get the bonus

its weight has been reduced as well

[willow hawk]

Disable GAMMA Cr3pis ammo icons

[bold stump]

@delicate wharf turns out I just had to disable backpack animations in the main menu > mods > fdda

[serene cedar]

I tried that and it reverted to the original icons. I'll try again.

[willow hawk]

Wait, which icons to do you want ?

The original looking ones ?

Or the GBOOBS "custom new looking" icons ?

[serene cedar]

Fix found: Uncheck the boxes at the top. The wording is unclear, but if you uncheck the Player inventory and Player trade, then you can use the custom sorting.ltx file.

[serene cedar]

Yes, those are nice looking.

[willow hawk]

Ah I think it's a pain 😅

[serene cedar]

Ohhh ok. Then I'll just use the Cr3pis ones. However, I do prefer yours much more.

[willow hawk]

Most likely, edit the texture file ui_inventory.dds

Or try to right click > reinstall on GBOOBS and choose the non vanilla icons option

[serene cedar]

I see a mod for 'GBOOB Vanilla ammo" I'll uncheck that one first.

[willow hawk]

Ah yes you are right

Disable that and Cr3pis ammo

It should be good

[serene cedar]

Yes, that did it. Thank you.

[summer sandal]

does alife fixes fix bandits? it's turned off by default and when i assaulted a bandit position, they all just stood there like idiots while i was picking them off less than 15 feet with a kar98

[graceful iron]

no, save/load to fix stuck/bugged npcs

keep alife fixes ticked off for now

[strong ice]

Quick question, do the "reliability" mods actually help with how often the weapon jams with the weapon parts durability being low? and also, what do the "Ecolog-23" shells for the KS-23 do?

[graceful iron]

reliability decreases how fast your weapon's condition degrade (or increases max condition i have no idea)

[willow hawk]

Reliability is good for weapons you use with a suppressor

[strong ice]

Does the suppressor make guns more likely to jam?

[graceful iron]

makes them degrade faster

[strong ice]

I see

[graceful iron]

same with sustained full auto fire or just firing a gun really fast

there is a heating factor i believe

[strong ice]

so if I fired 30 rounds in full auto, it will damage the gun more than if i tap fire 30 shots

[graceful iron]

yes

[strong ice]

good to know

What about the Ecolog-23 ammo?

it says it does no flesh damage, and no armor penetration

[graceful iron]

i really have no idea

[strong ice]

If I had a KS-23 I'd test it, but I haven't found one yet 😦

are they super rare or something?

[graceful iron]

its a vanilla anomaly ammo but i have no idea what they are used for

[strong ice]

hmmm, seems suspicious

[graceful iron]

monolith seem to have it

[strong ice]

Bastards, so I'll have to go and fight 3000 of them in radar or limansk to get one 😦 💔

[graceful iron]

but its true, i have not seen a ks23 in a while

[strong ice]

😮 so I am right it's super rare or bugged

I haven't seen one in like 5 seperate playthroughs,

Probably like 50 hours real time between them at least

[graceful iron]

they definitely existed at some point in gamma, just the few recent playthroughs i have not seen one

[willow hawk]

It's used to put mutants to sleep

[strong ice]

Lmao isn't that kind of OP?

[willow hawk]

It's very rare because I almost disabled it yes

[strong ice]

1 bang a chimera, or pseudogiant, etc. then just stab it 30 times for strength levelling

[craggy fable]

Does quick melee use your melee weapon damage? I have an axe but the animation is using a knife. Is it just a limitation or am I better off switching to my weapon first?

[graceful iron]

i think it uses a knife if you have one, but uses an axe if you only have an axe ?

[strong ice]

Can confirm this is correct

even if you have a knife in your inventory but not equipped, it will still use the knife. sort of annoying as I usually keep a hunting knife in my inventory to skin animals, but use an axe as a melee weapon.

.

quick question, does item condition matter when crafting? like if I wanted to craft a backpack, can I use cloth with 0% or 1% condition to craft it? or will it only count for crafting if it is above a certain % condition?

[graceful iron]

you can use armor parts that are at 0% for crafting, it does not matter

[craggy fable]

Ah, I do have a knife in the inventory. Makes sense, then.

[strong ice]

and be careful using quick melee while on ladders, or during some animations, sometimes it glitches and you get stuck with your melee weapon out and it's just completely bugged out lol

[serene cedar]

About how many days or kills before I see a helmet or gas mask drop? I've been learning the GAMMA rules in Cordon, but I'd like to head to other zones now and radiation is definitely not something to ignore.

[graceful iron]

outfits and helmets have a chance to drop and the higher tier ones will start dropping when you are a higher rank, but you should be seeing helmets and outfits on day 1

but dont expect just rookie bandits to drop a good gasmask or outfit

you can probably still survive swamps, darkscape and garbage with the starter helmet

[steep pollen]

Do you if the G43 is still in the game ?

Do you know*

[serene cedar]

There have been a few bandanas, baclava, and the top only helmet (the icon looks like a scooter half helmet).

[serene cedar]

Ok, I'll try to find something in Swamps. Thanks.

[magic reef]

Can you explain rank? Thanks

[tribal plover]

It is in game

[steep pollen]

Do you know if NPCs can drop it ? I have never found one

[tribal plover]

Well, probably bandits & renegades, maybe sin, not sure though.

213 - Trader overhaul, doesn't seem to work. Do i need to disable something from GAMMA section?

Or just move it lower in priority list?

[delicate wharf]

you will need to disable a lot of the gamma economy mods

search in the server you will find instructions

[graceful iron]

no you just need to disable gamma economy and gamma economy no bas injection mods and then enable trader overhaul, you can have both enabled at the same time but you still wont get armors and guns with traders as gamma economy is intended but will see trader overhaul effects

[graceful iron]

in the game options there is an option for outfit loot: full or progressive, full means you will always get all outfits (but there is a mod that makes it a chance anyways and you can tweak it in mcm but its already tweaked for gamma) and progressive (gamma default) means the higher rank you are, the higher tier suits can actually start dropping from enemies

[tribal plover]

Mod also highlights "232 - xenotech with balls", "gamma helmets and repair kits" and "gamma artefacts reinvention". Ignore those?

[graceful iron]

yes, just leave them as they are

[tribal plover]

Aye, thanks

Which preset of trader overhaul is used tho? Hard or normal one?

[graceful iron]

the normal one i believe, you can probably reinstall the mod manually to get the hard one

[tribal plover]

Mhm, got it. Thanks a lot.

[serene cedar]

The white stash icons are small for me. Is there an alternative color or size for those?

[willow hawk]

you need to edit the texture

ui_actor_hint_wnd.dds

[serene cedar]

Ah, ok I see. I don't have any skill in that. Thanks.

[serene cedar]

Which addon would I find this dds texture, if I wanted to check it out?

[graceful iron]

use the search filter in mo2

[serene cedar]

Wow, cool. Thanks, I didn't know it could find files.

[serene cedar]

I appreciate your help. Much thanks.

[tribal plover]

Mhm. Do ASh-12 SUP upgrade spawns, if i disable GAMMA economy mods?

Checked and restocked duty & cs traders - none seemed to have it, not to mention nuked attachment pool (sadge), compared to GAMMA.

[willow hawk]

no

Don't disable GAMMA Economy

[tribal plover]

But then trader overhaul doesn't work. Well, it works, but item pools are still GAMMA base. Moving trader overhaul to bottom of the MO mod list won't help?

[willow hawk]

@tribal plover #🖇old-mods-posting message

Trader Overhaul is bad

[tribal plover]

Aha, i see. Thanks again, will do.

[sleek dust]

bruh now i feel like a fool

thanks nonetheless

[desert robin]

What is "Shit flute" ?

[tidal raft]

Harmonica.

[muted sinew]

no idea if bug or feature from DAO but being in close proximity (without touching) to electro anomaly decreases HP and damages armor?

[graceful iron]

all electro does that with DAO

its intended

[muted sinew]

oh ok

damn it does a lot of armor damage tho

[graceful iron]

get better electro res, even an artefact

[muted sinew]

I have the artefact from eilodon it's not the best but one of the best at electro resistance

[latent otter]

Those anti environmental hazard items now have a purpose

[muted sinew]

I crafted it btw #balance

also I am wearing the merc ACE suit

I can literally stand in electro anomalies and they do nothing to me, but standing near them will fuck up my suit

I'm not complaining

it's just... surprising I guess

[lapis silo]

That suit slaps, it's insanely good. One Volat Emerald at ~50% should almost max all environmental protection

[muted sinew]

I also have the heart of the oasis (which I admitedly cheated to get it to 100% since it can't be empowered) which reduces environmental protection

so I guess that's why I'm not completely immune

[molten tartan]

what's the "shit flute" ?

[muted sinew]

harmonica

afaik that update prevents NPCs from playing the harmonica

[lapis silo]

My volat emerald is at 35% now, but these are my stats with some artis. The suit can have up to 5 attachments, which makes it even better

[willow hawk]

Yes it's one of the best suit with good artefacts

[muted sinew]

honorable mention to the duty and army heavy proto exos

[tidal raft]

Aww, I know why I didn't see the release. It's on Epic Games Store..

[willow hawk]

Still, it's pretty good

And the online works really well

[tidal raft]

It probably is. I like Salt & Sanctuary, but I don't want to shop from EGS.

[ebon coral]

Is this compatible? https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/heatvision-v02-extension-for-beefs-nvg-dx11engine-mod

[tropic orbit]

Will game break if I activate trader overhaul midgame

Moddb page doesnt seem to elaborate if I need a new save

[tidal raft]

If I remember from previous suggestions about this add-on, it isn't. Because it requires engine patching.

[tidal raft]

No.

[tropic orbit]

Nice

Ah oof its overwritten by gamma economy

Heres hoping it dont bork when I disable that one LMAO

[willow hawk]

GAMMA Economy > Heat vision cheat

[polar gale]

does anyone know which faction has a story mode? aside from unisg and free stalkers

i've just finished both the free stalkers story missions and the unisg story missions

[willow hawk]

Militaries

also there's the Clear Sky and Ecologists Artefacts Hunters Missions

[polar gale]

so military has their own story mode missions like unisg and free stalkers?

[willow hawk]

yes

[ebon coral]

anyway to make myself run a bit slower?

I am zooming

[polar gale]

thanks

[ruby rune]

Need that suit

Man g i wanna play stalker again but also wait to get a better pc

[north turret]

how to update my gamma and let all new things listed on #📢development happen?

[graceful iron]

#💽how-to-update in the installer click update gamma data and then click install only gamma addons

[graceful iron]

you can tweak this in the mcm for grok's gotta go fast, the skill system and some light suits give a speed advantage but heavier and better suits will have slower walk/sprint speeds

[north turret]

can i abadon a mission?

[willow hawk]

That usually happens for the first few hours

you'll be slow as fuck pretty soon with your backpack filled and with heavier armors XD

[serene cedar]

Yes, but not all missions. Some of the named quest givers have no way to abandon their missions.

[polar gale]

i need help, i tried installing provak's weapon overhaul deleted my old game data folder put in the provak's game data folder but provak's still does not work.. i have started a new game to check it and i dont have the the mod installed

[willow hawk]

Are you really asking for support for Provak in the gamma server .

[polar gale]

im new to the whole stalker anomaly thing i've got no idea

is it a bad thing to do?

[willow hawk]

1. Provak is bad and garbage
2. It's a bug fest
3. You are on another modpack server, do you expect people using provak pack here?
4. Just play GAMMA

[polar gale]

i've had no idea

i mean on your channel you we're using provak on a series

wait

you aren't wavey or you are

and im being stupid

[willow hawk]

Wavey is a youtuber

I'm a developer

[polar gale]

ohh

ok im sorry

like i said i really have no idea about anything

when it comes to this game

[willow hawk]

1. Uninstall provak
2. Follow #old-how-to

[polar gale]

ok thanks

[serene cedar]

Even if you are familiar with Anomaly, GAMMA changes so many things that you'll need to read up to understand how to do things. Especially the healing and economy, if you don't understand those two then you won't be able to have any progress. Good luck! I'm a newbie to GAMMA too and learning every hour as I play.

[polar gale]

ok got it

[ebon coral]

I am dying extremely quickly

barely see them and dead

[tidal raft]

How do people—new to the series—even find provaks modpack first??

[wraith token]

youtube

[tender tusk]

How to repair heart of the oasis? I know you can combine the same exact artefacts to raise the condition but I don't think there are more hearts of the oasis hiding around?

[tidal raft]

Craft them. #│📚manual

[ebon coral]

just search gun and you will see it

[fiery jasper]

When i looked up guns for anomaly first one that came up for me was blindsides

[tidal raft]

[ebon coral]

I guess that just bad luck finding the video

[tidal raft]

Do you understand the concept of targeted search engines?

[ebon coral]

who know someone might even recommended it

I remember when I was on reddit asking for mod park

[tidal raft]

I was on reddit asking for mod park
I'm sorry for your loss.

[ebon coral]

back then I have no idea about the game

[wraith token]

provaks was one of the first all-in-one packs so it got popular

regardless of how good it is or not

[tidal raft]

Fortnite is popular too, but the gameplay is garbage.

[wraith token]

same thing

[tidal raft]

Yep.

[wraith token]

I never played provaks. When I modded anomaly before gamma i just did my own thing picking and choosing and finding patches that i needed through the anomaly discord

[vale atlas]

If you have too many items in your stash can it cause the game to crash? I’ve been noticing dropped fps while looking through my stash.

[tidal raft]

I played Anomaly when I was done with CoP. After that I found Misery, after which I found GAMMA.

[tropic orbit]

It won't crash, it will just take a while to load everything in there

How many is too many anyway

[tidal raft]

It shouldn't right out crash if you have enough RAM, but yes—having an overbloated stash does cause over all slow-downs.

[magic reef]

Yesterday I was told to right click a gun and select maintain to repair barrel. But I dont have the maintain option available?

[warped ginkgo]

you need the correct repair kit

[tidal raft]

You must have an appropriate cleaning kit in your inventory.

[magic reef]

i have the universal cleaning kit. And a ToZ shotgun. Barrel is at 65 %

[tidal raft]

weapon cleaning kit.

Not universal.

You need an Aurora 12 (something).

[magic reef]

it says universal weapon cleaning kit. For all weapons?

[tidal raft]

Don't argue semantics. Just get one if you want the barrel fixed.

[vale atlas]

Ok good to know. I actually just upgraded my Ram yesterday so I will see if there’s any improved performance and I have literally been storing just about everything I can weapon parts ammo parts ammo guns armour crafting kits. I pretty much disassemble everything and then keep all parts with a condition above 50%

[magic reef]

ok thanks. Just trying to understand the game 🙂

[tidal raft]

My tip:
Only keep three of every part which you can use.

[warped ginkgo]

right clicking the items and going to the 'details' tab you can see all the items you can use to repair it, in case of weapon/armor you will see the boxkit that requires to repair the barrel

[vale atlas]

I did end up cleaning up my stash and pretty much did that and it helped with the slow down

[tidal raft]

Sell excess stuff that refill fast, like bandages, cigarettes, water, improvised stimpacks, cloths, ammunition (and their parts), etc.

[north turret]

Is that not the right stash ? Can't interact with it, i searched the other floors same spot and i didn't find anything

Gonna double check again

[tidal raft]

Wrong floor. The safe will be on the opposite wall.

[wraith token]

gotta jump into the room

there's no floor in front of the doorway

[north turret]

"I found Misery, after which I found GAMMA" You've been wish granted.

[north turret]

"This message has been moved to #question by Falco because he's not lazy at all" Dismantling Hydrashock gives AP bullets, intended ?

[grave plover]

its just a name change, hydrashock in base game were the ap bullets if im not mistaken

[ember vortex]

We have a hotkey to transfer, hotkey to drop. Hotkey to disassemble next pogchamp?

[grave plover]

there isnt .45 ap in gamma for balance reasons

[tropic orbit]

Which smgs aside from p90 can be equipped in the pistol slots

[grave plover]

mp7

[tidal raft]

We would move messages, if we could.

[north turret]

Base game was indeed giving AP bullets from Hydra, since Gamma is rebalancing it, it should change accordingly

[tropic orbit]

Huh neat mp7

[north turret]

I thought Moderator were all powerfull, what a disappointement

[brisk zinc]

It's not a powerful thing

We simply can't, otherwise, believe me, I would

I'm gonna get that thing you said as a joke because you didn't know about it

[north turret]

Thought you could move messages, sorry then Falco

[tidal raft]

I see, only a user since 24th of April. Checks out.

[north turret]

Yeah, took my time to move to discord

[brisk zinc]

Don't worry, it's fine
Like I said, again, we can't do it, unfortunately, at all. Otherwise I would have done it directly without saying anything
The only thing we have as "power" is to delete the message and point out that the channel is the wrong one to ask a question.

Blame Discord, not us It's not funny or enjoyful to do that but we need to do it in order to maintain "order" or at least some "organization"

[north turret]

In all honesty I thought that reporting the Hydra tagged as AP in the game engine suited #old-feedback-suggestions

[brisk zinc]

It's more of a question (in my honest opinion, mind you) because you actually asked if that thing was intended

It's not feedback, it's more of a question, you follow?

An actual feedback would be "I don't like that X is named differently!"

[wraith token]

[north turret]

Questioning feedbacks are questions ?

Sorry, had to

[wraith token]

It's both for sure.

Agreed with your point tho. I never dismantle 45 hydra because I usually use it. Never noticed it broke down to ap

I'm sure Grok can fix.

[brisk zinc]

Now that your question have been answered, you could put this in #old-feedback-suggestions if you want because it's a valid suggestion

[north turret]

I'm sure none of you ever dismantled .45 hydra since you're all praising the .45 god 😇

[tidal raft]

You're coming off as extremely passive aggressive.

[north turret]

It's called personality

[tidal raft]

Unintended or not, I suggest you change your tone.

[north turret]

Or I could just leave you to your little world if you prefer

[tidal raft]

I don't care which one you choose to do—pick one.

[north turret]

Well it all started with a cascade misundertanding on my feedback about the game economy. Like saying I asked for .45 AP which I never did or because I stated that UMP wasn't meta starting a "lol you know nothing". Not all this "aggressivity" comes from my side so yes, I'm off.

[tidal raft]

Fantastic.

[wraith token]

Jesus that's the driest personality I've ever seen. Must be fun.

[brisk zinc]

And I even thought I was too mean or aggressive... I do so much to be nice and understanding to everyone and this happens :/

[tidal raft]

Some people are irredeemable. 🤷

[tropic orbit]

He seems nice

Also I thought ISG is some sort of secretive end game faction

[serene cedar]

Just had a psy storm, with skies redux enabled and CVFX, but the skybox was like old 8bit style. On base Anomaly with CVFX it's a gorgeous sky. Do I have a setting that is incorrect?

[tropic orbit]

Nuggets just put up a hitsquad on me when I'm just about to enter Zaton

[ember vortex]

after rescuing rouge and stitch in outskirts and speaking to strelok for operation afterglow, what am I supposed to do, I don't have any new missions or pda pings even after sleeping

[graceful iron]

go out, touch grass but no seriously just leave the building

[ember vortex]

Ive completed all 3 storylines before and can't remember what to do

like leave outskirts?

[royal oxide]

When you start as a faction with that ha no main storylines, and then change to a faction that has them, can you do them normally?

[graceful iron]

yes, just talk to the faction leader

[royal oxide]

Nice, thanks

[slow fox]

Sounds like that guy needs to read a book about overcoming passive aggression

[sleek dust]

Is it safe to disable GAMMA Economy ? I'm not too fond of the no guns/ammo thingy but this modpack is really good

[graceful iron]

you can disable gamma economy and gamma economy no bas injection but i really recommend giving the economy a go

[azure jewel]

Yes it is safe, I disabled it myself, but make sure to disable both the regular thing and the no BAS one

[sleek dust]

gotcha

[azure jewel]

I played some with the econ for a few hours, was fun, but I liked vanilla gun sales.

[sleek dust]

and to clarify : economy is what makes guns "unsellable"

by unsellable i mean like

you don't find them in vendors

And why should i give it a go

makes the experience better ?

i did have a lot of fun in my previous playthrough when i upgraded and customized all my gear at a workbench ngl but i guess as a first playthrough with this modpack i'd prefer it to be chill

[graceful iron]

the intended gamma experience the progression and economy are made specifically for

you can try going on easy/tourist or medium/tourist to have a much more chill playthrough

[sleek dust]

yeah medium tourist is what i went for

[sleek dust]

Alright sure i'll give it a shot for a few days (:

[azure jewel]

does anyone know where can i find a tactical kit for the DS ARMS Austrian Style?

[graceful iron]

freedom

[azure jewel]

their engi?

i'll check both

[graceful iron]

i am sorry what?

[azure jewel]

the tactical kit for this gun

was wondering where I could find it.

[delicate wharf]

any nato trader

[azure jewel]

alright thank

[graceful iron]

yes its freedom that i know have it, but i was wondering what you mean by this

[delicate wharf]

I think he means tech

[azure jewel]

oh their mechanic

[graceful iron]

all of them?

[azure jewel]

tech

[sleek dust]

mechanic

[delicate wharf]

yea pretty sure the kit is available at any nato trader at some supply level

[sleek dust]

engi is short for engineer

[azure jewel]

alright thank you

[graceful iron]

no, the main trader like skinflint for freedom but you have to level up their trader level first

[delicate wharf]

also depending on how far you are in the run nimble has like all kits available all the time @azure jewel

[graceful iron]

doing quests to get goodwill with the faction

forgot about nimble

[azure jewel]

~~wheres nimble again i forgor 💀 ~~

[delicate wharf]

zaton on the ship so you may not be able to get there yet

[azure jewel]

Wasnt it zaton

[graceful iron]

shadovsk in zaton

[azure jewel]

oh yeah I already got the psyhelm i can just make a mad dash

[delicate wharf]

yea if you have the psy helm and a decent mask/armor you can def get there

[azure jewel]

thank y'all for the help

[delicate wharf]

if you do have rep with a nato faction thats probably easier

[azure jewel]

oh boy time to run through the Red Forest at 21:00 i'm sure nothing bad can happen

[craggy fable]

You'll have fun.

Honestly one of the most frustrating yet awesome experiences I had.

Watch out for Chimeras though.

[jolly sun]

guys why does my install take so long, i started it like at least 4 to 5 hours ago and it is not even at 50%

[graceful iron]

depending on your internet connection, try closing the installer and then changing the download mirrors #old-how-to last message

[jolly sun]

if i close the installer do i get to install it to where it left off?

[graceful iron]

and then launch the installer and click complete gamma installation, it should pickup where it left off

[jolly sun]

okay ill try it thanks

[long grove]

so are dynamic skyboxes or moving clouds impossible for this engine?

[desert robin]

Possibly one for Grok; What's the latest on GAMMA with the 1.5.1.2 anomaly update? Does it need a lot of effort to work with GAMMA?

[pseudo harness]

Aslan is supposed to give you more than 1 artifact for patches? I know that in other modpack he gave me like 1 Gravi and 1 Nightstar, but not 2 of each
also is there a table with what you can get from him?

[desert robin]

GAMMA reworks and nerfs patch lottery. Probably that?

[soft leaf]

aslan gives you more artis so that you can upgrade them

[pseudo harness]

makes sense, thx

[jolly sun]

how do i change the download mirror?

i downloaded it, what do i do with the archive?

There are two loners in the building nearby and three more dead bodies.

One loner has a standard dialogue and the other — Gamaiun — only has an option to dismiss the dialogue.

[pseudo harness]

you are supposed to kill Monolithians there, in case they are not there, they should be in the corner building between Laundromat and that point

[terse jungle]

i downloaded the game normally, there was nothing wrong in the install

but my game crashes every time i try to start a new game

just got it too

[craggy fable]

Ah. OK.

[terse jungle]

is it because my pc is dogshit?

or

[craggy fable]

Will look for them tomorrow.

[pseudo harness]

for me they were hiding there, there was like 8 of them

[craggy fable]

Thanks!

[obtuse orbit]

When there's an update how do I know whether I need to do a "complete gamma installation" vs "only install gamma addons"

[brisk zinc]

The stuff you found in #📢development is "Only install GAMMA addons"

The other mods that aren't tackled in #📢development is "Complete GAMMA installation"

[obtuse orbit]

How will I know there's a change that needs a complete install?

[craggy fable]

OK, is the .357 handgun caliber an elaborate joke? It's like .45 but worse.

[brisk zinc]

We have #updated-mods-in-gamma for that matter, if something gets updated, it will be posted there

Or you can simply perform a complete installation every now and then

[desert robin]

Where is this guy that i randomly have to try rescue in the middle of the night in swamps north "near the road" ?

[calm tangle]

Not sure who was telling me this, but someone said something about how certain armors protect better even if they have the same ballistic res, i.e, wastelander is worse then Skat9 even though both have 28% Ballistic Resistance by default. Is this true? Am I better protected with the Skat9 because its more focused around armor plates and stuff? While the Wastelander says to be a ballistic vest or something?

[delicate wharf]

I htink heavy vs light vs exo matters? Not sure how much

[calm tangle]

Same goes for Kevlar plates, am I only protected in my chest area? I don't understand how this works, because you aren't a full model in combat, as far as i've been told, your just a pair of floating arms that the enemies can hit.

[calm tangle]

Middle of the map, its a campsite.

West from the Machine Yard.

[delicate wharf]

he is by the road that goes from the military base area west into the swamp. If you head south from the entrace to agro to the road its a bit more to the west if I remember right. Its just a body laying close to the road I think by one of the cmapfires

[desert robin]

Fuck this mission so fucking much. Seriously why cant it be marked. spending hours walking in circles at night in rain with shit attacking me, like get actual fucked...

[calm tangle]

Funny thing, you don't have to grab it at night.

The mission will fail, but you can grab the PDA off his body any time and resume the quest line.

[warped ginkgo]

you are playing last dawn?

[desert robin]

Thanks mate.. got it. never doing this again goddamn.

[wraith token]

Hahaha

Another one bites the dust.

[bright monolith]

Gey guys
Need a little understanding of the game
So I get that weapons in that mod now have parts that u can remove, fix/repair/change and put back in the gun
So I tried to do that with my MP5, and each time I remove and put back some of the part, general condition of the gun goes down 5-9%
Is that how its should work?

[soft leaf]

yes if the gun is in pristine condition you should replace parts using a toolkit and a repair kit

[calm tangle]

Yeah, you're field-stripping it, so not really trying to keep it clean, just trying to take it apart/put together without proper tools.

[bright monolith]

Daaamn
Didnt think of that at all
Stupid me

And another question
About weapon part
So a saw that some of the part have a Green color on them, some of them are blue, Red and gold
So that colors is a grade of the part? Like gold-color weapon part is better then green-cokor weapon part?
Or colors define type of the weapon?
Like Green color - is a smg, blue is assault rifle, Red - shotgun

[sour sparrow]

How do I add a magazine to loadout?

[willow hawk]

You'll crash

[willow hawk]

Yes it's true

[obtuse orbit]

Thank

[willow hawk]

It's just the type of part

[willow hawk]

Yes, gun gets dirty. Just swap parts that are 100%

[willow hawk]

It works that way:

• register armor protection.

• check if ammo penetrates.

• if ammo don't penetrate, multiply armor protection by a specific formula that scales armor protection in a reverse manner (low protection are scaled more than big protection that are scaled less).

• if ammo penetrates simply keep unscaled protection (what's displayed in terms of % in armor tooltip).

• Add protection from belt slots.

• Multiply values by a scaler to match the inventory screen values.

• limit the protection by a specified maximum to avoid invincibility.

• the armor ammo pen res is calculated from hit_fraction from armors ltx file and it matches the ammo k_ap values. Most armors resist AP < 0.25. biggest armors resist AP < 0.8

[calm tangle]

Interesting, so a question is, how is this protection of limbs calculated? And how does it work per armor. Is there a way I can determine what armor will be safer? If the stats aren’t entirely true.

[willow hawk]

Limbs work based armor but the head that works on the helmet

[delicate wharf]

do belt slots protect your head?

[willow hawk]

Yes

[calm tangle]

relief lol

[delicate wharf]

I finally know

[calm tangle]

so even if i’m walking around in a leather jacket, if I have an exohelm, I won’t just get doinked in the head yea?

[willow hawk]

Helmets resist less well to ammo pen so usually you take full damage lol but if you have good Artefacts it's not an issue

[willow hawk]

Yup

But usually it's the other way around

[calm tangle]

That is really good to know. I won’t feel like i’m risking one-shor capability for downgrading to a slightly shittier suit.

[willow hawk]

My biggest grief is that super heavy armors are too strong in terms of ammo res

[calm tangle]

Tho, is there a way to determine what armor is better in-game, without having to check the files?

Or just assumption?

[willow hawk]

Repair kit needed

Also, base ammo res

For mutants, there's no penetration btw

It's just flat res applied to damage

[calm tangle]

I mean for limb. Like i’m sure Skat9 has good limb resistance entirely, while something like Nomad, might have better leg protection vs. Arm protection.

And if i’m understanding Grok, mods told me that artifacts are always better then attachments. So for example, I would be better off with an +2 ballistic res Artifact, because it would affect all my limbs, while +2 res Kevlar Plate, would be mainly protecting my Torso. Correct?

[willow hawk]

No it's not different

Limb protection is the same

[calm tangle]

Ohh okay

[willow hawk]

Plates work like artefacts

[bright monolith]

So if I take out gun part with 60% condition and place same part but with 100%, general gun condition will stay at the same %?

[calm tangle]

40% ballistic on two different suits, will protect the same then?

[willow hawk]

No it will also decrease, but gun condition is easy to maintain bro

Usually you clean 1 part within the gun using a cleaning kit then you can use any spray and you are good to go

[willow hawk]

Depends on the type of the suit..........

Same suit category + same protection = same protection

[calm tangle]

OKAY sorry I am stupid

I completety understand now lol

That makes a lot of sense. Then, so Medium Armor is still worse then Heavy armor, even with same res values.

[willow hawk]

Categories are like Exo, Exolight, Skat, Heavy, Hybrid, Medium armored, Medium light, Light, SEVA

[willow hawk]

Yes

[bright monolith]

Yeah, I saw that some of the cleaning stuff for Guns and armor got better
In vanilla anomaly simple sprey can give u 5% gun health if gun not less then 80%
So in ur mod its nice

Thx for answering

[desert robin]

Whats the questline where you go to the agro underground and get docs? I havent done that yet and dont remember how to get to that quest

[pseudo rock]

Living legend

[willow hawk]

From the doc in the swamp once you talked to your faction leader

[desert robin]

Who is the loners faction l- oh Sid...?

[jagged lance]

hi on the to-do it says "make guns in stashes empty" does this mean all guns in stashes will be turned into "empty" artifacts? thanks for you're consideration

[delicate wharf]

yes

[jagged lance]

Okay, that's a weird change. I'd think it actually means that there would no longer be any ammunition inside the firearm but I suppose Grok knows best. Thank you for clearing this up.

[graceful iron]

you dont have to download anything, the last message in #old-how-to explains it

[ancient hearth]

is there a chart showing what bat transmutates certain artefacts into?

[slow fox]

What effect does the Knot have?

[graceful iron]

the new change in #📢development means we wont find a marked stash with only a pack of smokes and a non-marked stash with some items like ammo and medical ? (sorry about that, used the wrong channel at first)

[willow hawk]

Some unmarked stashes were filled with marked stashes content

Not anymore

Aldourien will not find 10 toolkits in 1 day anymore

[graceful iron]

i seen a few bullets and some glues(from zcp), but never seen toolkits in unmarked stashes

[north turret]

i got some Toolkits from unmarked once, rare but it happens

basic/advanced mstly

[graceful iron]

marked stashes will sometimes have very minimal items, or a stash as far north as cnpp will have a leather jacket

[slow fox]

Actually happened to me

[north turret]

1 in a 100 stashes should be a Nosorog tbh!

[graceful iron]

haha funny

[willow hawk]

I also presumably fixed this

[graceful iron]

thanks

[slow fox]

Soo basically stashes got stronger? That an update I can get behind

[graceful iron]

when the whole purpose of grok's balance changes to the pack are to stop aldourien from speed running the progression thats one way to find exploits/meta and fix them

[solid valve]

Is the reshade in this mod meant to be minimal? If so then I can dig that, it's just that it doesn't seem to be as full on as other mods and I've gaslit myself into thinking I've done something wrong in installation.

[graceful iron]

press the home button and check if the default reshade options are enabled? there are also other shader related mods in the modlist that should be enabled by default

make sure you have 273(the default) addons active in mo2

if the reshade isnt active try clicking on presets and choosing the gamma one, if that does not work go to gammaRC3/grok's modpack installer/gamma/modpack patches and move the bin folder to your anomaly folder and replace

[polar gale]

i need help some of the guns ingame appear a dark blueish color, does anyone know how i can fix it?

[desert robin]

@willow hawk Sorry to ping, was just wondering this - and is that russian weather/sky mod also being added still? Cheers

[jagged ingot]

Hello guys, I took Aslan's Quest to kill the Black Chimera in Red Forest, but she was not spawned - is it ok or it's a bug? Will she be spawned later?

[jagged ingot]

For my post

[graceful iron]

it should have spawned as soon as you took the quest

[jagged ingot]

Looks like it's alive somewhere in red forest.

[graceful iron]

good luck finding it before it finds you

[north turret]

Why does not all mercs attack me even though they declared war on my faction? No disguise, I just walked past merc checkpoint on army warehouse headed to dushman, not even one merc attacked me they're just sitting, headed upstairs then one squad fired on me. Noticed that those who attacked me were legends and master on their ranks and the ones who ignored me are professionals and below.

I already mentioned this question last time and was not answered so I started a new run and still the same after a faction declares war on us they just don't attack me. I just notice that there are squads spawned at the beginning where they just stay at the faction base. I'm wondering if they are not affected by dynamic relations.

[slow fox]

whats the usefullness of tents? never used them

[jagged lance]

sleep anywhere i think

i dont use them either lol

[jagged ingot]

I am Ecologist can I get goodwill from bandits by doing mercs \ freedom missions? or i need to pay them first to be neutral with them

[willow hawk]

Currently it crashes, I'm migrating changes gradually and manually

[polar gale]

grok do you know how to fix the textures on some of the weapons i have?

here is a screenshot

[willow hawk]

Install BAS Properly

[polar gale]

it was already installed

[willow hawk]

Like, download it manually, it's advertised in #old-how-to

[polar gale]

maybe that caused problems?

[willow hawk]

what do you mean........?

As in, already in Anomaly folder ?

Your gamedata folder should be clean #old-how-to

[polar gale]

yes the gamedata was clean

but i already have BAS on my pc

[gleaming canyon]

Hello Grok,

First and foremost, thanks for the insane amount of work you have put into this mod/package.
To get to the point, do you know why the character seems to stutter when you walk through a doorway? I haven't seen this happen in regular Anomaly, but it does now. Essentially, walking or running through a doorway makes the character glitch/teleport forwards.

[graceful iron]

BaS is the boomsticks and sharpsticks mod, its probably missing files and textures so you have to download it manually from moddb and put it in the gammaRC3/downloads folder and then run a complete installation #💽how-to-update

[polar gale]

so take BAS and extract it into my anomaly folder again?

im sorry im just really bad when it comes to this stuff

[jagged lance]

no you dont extract it into anomaly at all

[polar gale]

so i dont understand

[jagged lance]

put it in the gammaRC3/downloads folder, then run the GAMMA installer .exe

[polar gale]

then gamma will do its thing and the textures will be there?

[jagged lance]

Yes

[polar gale]

ok so take BAS put it in gammarc3 downloads folder and then run gamma installer

[jagged lance]

yes

update gamma data and then do a complete gamma installation

[polar gale]

do i need to run it on a different desktop like when i installed it or just use any desktop

[polar gale]

will this download gamma all over again or just the missing files?

[jagged lance]

just the missing files

[polar gale]

ok

[graceful iron]

you dont need to run another desktop, opening another desktop is used so you can do other things while the installer is running

[polar gale]

ok got it

thanks alot guys

[jagged lance]

np bro enjoy

[graceful iron]

did you extract any mods into your gamedata folder in the anomaly used for gamma ?

[willow hawk]

Can you record a video of it ?

[slow fox]

You can do that with the normal sleeping bag too so idk what the tent gives you

[jagged lance]

you cant use the normal sleeping bag to sleep out in the open

only in specific areas

[graceful iron]

the tent can protect you from emissions i think

you cant sleep in a tent, you still need a sleeping bag in it

[slow fox]

And from chimeras tickling you in your sleep?

Oh okay

[polar gale]

only when i didn't have gamma installed but i did delete my old gamedata folder so it should be fine

[gleaming canyon]

Yes, right away.

[graceful iron]

oh ok

[polar gale]

also do i put in the downloads the winrar of bas or extract bas into the downloads folder?

[jagged lance]

the .rar file

[graceful iron]

no just put the winrar file in the downloads folder

[polar gale]

and i just replace it?

[graceful iron]

yes

[polar gale]

ok

then i open the installer

[jagged lance]

yes

[graceful iron]

open it as admin, click update gamma data and then click complete gamma installation

[jagged lance]

that too

[polar gale]

this shouldn't take a while right?

[graceful iron]

just a few minutes depending on the speed of the drive you put gamma in, also make sure the installer is version 3.2

[polar gale]

i installed gamma yesterday so it should be version 3.2

[graceful iron]

ok

[gleaming canyon]

It's ready now, with HD. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ux4BN3eyz7g

[jagged lance]

think that might just be a problem with collision

youll notice walking up stairs itll be janky going up but less so going down

and that sprinting up stairs is actually slower than just walking up

[willow hawk]

Bonjour

[gleaming canyon]

Bonjour haha, sorry about the background sound

[willow hawk]

Pas de soucis. Je n'ai jamais eu ce bug. Tu peux essayer de jouer en résolution 16:9 pour voir ?

[gleaming canyon]

Je regarde ça immédiatement

Aucun problème en 16:9. Donc ça vient de la résolution/32:9?

[latent otter]

There were so many changes over past few weeks, It feels like cheating by continuing on save I started my playthrough a few months ago , what would be recommended difficulty to start over? I played medium/scavenger + YACS saving and had to turn tail many times due to crushing opposition and lack of quicksave magical power

[jagged lance]

recommended difficulty is whatever you want

[graceful iron]

the gamma recommended is hard/survivalist(i think) but if you are still not sure go with medium/survivalist

[jagged lance]

my current playthrough is on easy/tourist just because i like sprinting around and jumping over people

and because the great swamps suck ass

[polar gale]

im on medium tourist my last 2 playthroughs without the modpack were with that difficulty

[gleaming canyon]

Confirmed, c'était un problème de FOV! Je suis passé de 90 à 60 et c'est bon

[willow hawk]

[fossil crater]

Can someone give me the estimated size of the both Anomaly and GAMMA folder together?

[willow hawk]

#old-how-to

[fossil crater]

Great, just played myself

[jagged ingot]

52-53 gb

[fossil crater]

Thank 👍

[jagged ingot]

Is it possible to use spawner \ console commands to force finish quests or not?

[willow hawk]

yes but I don't remember how, there's a command for that

[jagged ingot]

Found something like this

Example
task_manager.get_task_manager():set_task_completed("yan_stalker_sakharov_task_5")

Now need to find the task ID in files

[strong wraith]

Yo, am I a retard? Artifact says it takes 3msV/second, and the artifact IAM says "permissible radiation 7 msV" but I get irratiated still, altho very slowly

[jagged ingot]

use container to block all radiation from art

[strong wraith]

yeah I meant im using the IAM (the artifact module to carry it on my belt/use it)

and it says it can hold up to 7msV and the artifact itself is 3msV/sec but it still irradiates me despite being contained

[jagged ingot]

looks like a bug or typo in art or IAM description
