totally forgot

Scratch that @bleak egret

[hoary veldt]

Part of the pain of playing Mercs is knowing that you can't fly your own factions colors unless you deliberately get some of them killed just for a chance at their armor

[bleak egret]

Yeah, no buying for me! TBH I LOVE killing SEVA dudes. That glass shattering sound when you headshot is perfection. Off to outskirts to murderlize some more dudes.

[hoary veldt]

But anyways, Dead City -> Limansk -> Zaton Substation -> Outskirts Bookstore should be your ideal rotation for Merc farming

I have no idea why I'm telling you this as a Mercenary myself but it's out there

[bleak egret]

merc farming lol

[hoary veldt]

[quiet willow]

If you kill your main faction with a enemy outfit on does that -goodwill your main faction?

[azure jetty]

Tbh I play mercs just so I can spin the lottery wheel and feel like I can justify everything by "I got paid for this"

[hoary veldt]

Only through quests as far as I know

[azure jetty]

When do technicians sell part repair kits? At which supply level?

[hoary veldt]

Like, specifically part repair kits?

[bleak egret]

Which ones? The first one is Handgun at 500 rep

[hoary veldt]

I think they sell them at Supply 1

As for specific gun repair kits, it depends on the toolkits you give them

Basics will make them sell light armors and historic kits

Advanced makes 'em sell the medium armor and army rifle kit

[azure jetty]

I mean the repair kits that repair the parts that the file, ramrods and multitool can't cover

[hoary veldt]

Experts will make 'em sell the heavy stuff

Soo, the part repair kit itself, then?

[azure jetty]

yes

[azure jetty]

They don't sell them at supply 1

I know it's still early in the game, but I hate picking up a new gun, polishing it a bit, then just

[hoary veldt]

Probably at Supply Level 2, then

[azure jetty]

Well, I'll find out soon, just have to find some toolkits and butter them up

[misty rock]

I have a problem. I'm trying to track one faction supply package at meadow with the receiver. But when I do, signal pops out every where around the north part of the map - it doesn't lead any where and in the middle of the search it overlaps with another detection sound. I searched the place with most activity of these sounds and found literally nothing. Any easier way to find them? I'm getting an headache from those beeps and boops...

[hoary veldt]

The only way to make it easier is to find a Lamp artifact, they'll make the package flash

But you obviously have to find one, so I don't have any tips for beyond holding F around where the beeps are

Occasionally a stray beep will filter into your RF, try to focus on the one that's consistent doo-doot

[misty rock]

It's weaird becouse I get two types of sounds - one I think was from packages, other was from lost signals.

[bleak egret]

WHAT. Man I abandoned those RF missions back at the start due to them being just awful. I want a lamp...

[misty rock]

And they both overlap.

[hoary veldt]

Mmm, I'd try and find the dead bodies first

They're a lot easier to find then some random-ass package hidden somewhere

[misty rock]

Problem is, I don't have a dead body there.

[hoary veldt]

But you have a lost signals quest, so it's obviously around somewhere yeah?

Check inside the buildings and all that

[misty rock]

I do. But I'm in Meadow and the other one is in Truck Cementary.

[hoary veldt]

Wait, are the Lost Signals and Package on the same frequency?

But then

The other shouldn't matter

You only get beeps for the thing in your area map

If your Lost Signals is in Truck Cemetery, it'll only beep for Lost Signals if you're in the Truck Cemetery map

So your only beeps should be the one in Meadows

[misty rock]

What the hell... that package was at so random location.

Beeps barely even helped.

First it lead me to one building, then to another set of wrecks only to find out it was like 20 metres from the wreckages, near the building behind the wall.

[hoary veldt]

That's just how it is sometimes

[misty rock]

That was one of the most cursed packages I got yet.

Great.

[hoary veldt]

If you find a Lamp and you intend to get more RF packages, keep the Lamp handy

I promise you it gets infinitely easier with one equipped

[misty rock]

Right! Of what Tier is Lamp? And how to get it?

[hoary veldt]

Lamp is a perk artifact, you can find practically anywhere lying around

[misty rock]

So just a junk one?

[hoary veldt]

I've had most of my luck finding it in gravity anomaly fields, but your mileage may vary

Just a junk one, but all junk artifacts have been converted into ones with perks

[misty rock]

I'll be on the lookout for that. :]

[hoary veldt]

So just watch out for 'em

Good hunting, Stalker

[misty rock]

I know, I already got plenty of them.

[hoary veldt]

[misty rock]

Thank you, too you too Stalker.

Also, the package was ultimate grabage.

[quiet willow]

They're full of meds right?

[misty rock]

Random.

[quiet willow]

Oh.

[hoary veldt]

Yeah, it's random

You can get ammo, glue, meds, whatever the hell

[misty rock]

They don't get you any insane gear, but sometimes they can get you really sweet stuff If you are lucky (from the secret stash inside the package), like artifacts.

I think I got some detector out of it once?

I don't remember.

They are fun and give nice stuff and are worth it, as long as they don't freak out and give some insane locations like that.

[bleak egret]

Is there a chart somewhere that lists the melee weapons attributes? The spetznaz knife was the best in stock Anomaly, but they added some turbo rambo knife now, and them axes I hear about too seem nice.

[hoary veldt]

As far as I know not really. Personal experience tells me it's Kukri > Axes > Knives

[uneven cove]

So it returned everything to the base of G.A.M.M.A. and unfortunately it seems that I would need to begin to operate the X-Ray SDK in order to manually adjust the particles for the current Gamma mod version. It works just fine as it did with the backup, I just wanted to edit some things within the Cinematic VFX mod to remove the yellow vortexs from the Whirligigs etc to make them harder to detect. The previous linked fix from above is a few months old, and I imagine new mods with new particles have been added, making it inoperable.

[bleak egret]

TF do you find a Kukri

[hoary veldt]

You buy them from the faction shops

[bleak egret]

And can I skin with it LOL

[hoary veldt]

Yeah? I think it's stronger than an axe

Unless I'm not remembering correctly, I two-shot a pseudo with it

[bleak egret]

Guess I need to max out my Loner rep

[hoary veldt]

Apparently it's made from metal from an anomalous bus or whatever the hell

I just know it's strong

[bleak egret]

FFS lol

Yeah, that seems like happy fun times

[tall charm]

anyone know what addon is controling the headbobbing? Didnt notice that last time i played on RC1

wait found it

its INERTIA

[craggy scroll]

where do i submit my crash log so that i can know what i need to do to troubleshoot?

[brisk zinc]

You can do it here as well if you want

[craggy scroll]

ight

crashed two times already (this being the second time) when assaulting the machine yard and killing the military

it freezes, cuts to black then my gpu driver crashes

[brisk zinc]

AMD?

Yes it's AMD

Try the fix in #│🔧troubleshooting

GPU device instance

[craggy scroll]

thx thx

[brisk zinc]

Let me know if that works

We're always looking for feedback

[graceful plaza]

Ive had crashs and been directed to that, unfortunately the amd fix did not work for me

[brisk zinc]

We also have another fix if that one didn't work

[brisk zinc]

Let me find the other fix

@graceful plaza

"I've got a "solution" for the AMD crashes, at least it worked for me. I have been playing 3 hours straight without a single crash (something that wasn't possible before). I undervolted my Rx 5700 XT and the game has been working very smooth."

[young reef]

Do equipped artefacts with passive benefits but not stats (like the Cell - reduced bullet damage by converting the damage into radiation) degrade while not using their effects, so over time? If so, does unequipping them protect the degradation? Also, do they degrade in your inventory or LLC??

[hoary veldt]

They only degrade while active on the belt

Otherwise they remain as pristine as you left them

[young reef]

So in this case, Cell would activate only when I'm shot?

[hoary veldt]

Cell will degrade actively while in your belt

It won't go down in durability when you get shot

[young reef]

Got it, thank you

[hoary veldt]

No prob, just remember to become a smokaholic afterward

[craggy scroll]

did u undervolt it manually or did u use automatic amd software tuning?

[brisk zinc]

@zealous trail I need your service here

Because I know that you did that but I don't know how

[zealous trail]

It depends on your graphics card, u need to check the exact model and do it manually

[graceful plaza]

@brisk zinc I did see that part in the troubleshooting, im just not exactly confident in trying that

But I would give it a shot with some direction

[azure jetty]

What's the minimum detector you need to go on those quests to gather anomalous junk?

[quiet willow]

Basic one

Echo

[azure jetty]

Weird, it's not working for me, I must be too far away from the junk

[quiet willow]

Yeah some samples aren't where the map say they are

Are you maybe searching for this one Joris?

#╭📖faq message

[graceful plaza]

@brisk zinc I guess first I should make sure that is the fix I do need

[azure jetty]

I'm searching for the one in Hell's walls in the Army warehouses

I even dolphin dived into the flames, and no beeping on my echo

the one north of Bloodsucker village

(I started as a Merc)

[tall charm]

Not sure if anyone has implimented this shader but

Textures: Grim zone

For a very grim looking zone, you can try out this pack, be sure to disable Agressor Grounds and place it AFTER Agressor Grounds if you want to keep GAMMA Weathers, or place it just BEFORE/ABOVE Particles Cinematic VFX3.5 1.1.2 BOTZ YAWM

aggressor grounds

wouldnt happen to be this would it?

aggressor awene?

im doubtfull and im not the most well versed in using aggresor but im inclined to think its within the reshade options ingame if im not wrong

[hoary veldt]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/922555488665743391/975271402011766804/unknown.png

Try one of those houses

[tall charm]

ah nvm i believe i found a way to finagle it

[azure jetty]

It's in some scorching house, where I need some sort of fireproof equipment or artifact to get in

[hoary veldt]

Yeah, that sounds about right

Probably

[craggy scroll]

finished the machine yard quest but i crashed when i was in the clear sky base after getting a quest from spore

game froze but didnt seem to close when it crashed, was just a windowed black box on my desktop and still could hear the ingame sounds (me jumgping and etc)

[north turret]

does it matter if you hand in the Lab X8 documents to the merc for money?

[graceful plaza]

Thats the same that happens for me ISDA, except I cant seem to get out of rookie village, since everytime I do it crashes

[craggy scroll]

welp time to undervolt it

[little needle]

Hello fellow orb ponderer

[brisk zinc]

Yes it's what I send you

The GPU thing in #│🔧troubleshooting

[graceful plaza]

I did do the first part, Im having issues figuring out the undervolt aspect of the second part

[brisk zinc]

I can't help you with that, I'm sorry

[graceful plaza]

Thats alright was trying to get sosop regarding it, but looking at it seems like I just need to figure that part out

[ivory palm]

Taking damage when I run...
Is this normal?

[plush pewter]

does barman give more for pdas than sidorovich?

[zealous trail]

Heal that arms and legs with a medkit or a tourniquet and then take some pills or something for post healing

[brisk zinc]

What Sosop291 said

Read the #│📚manual

[zealous trail]

Oh so there is a manual HAHAH

[brisk zinc]

The manual it's actually IN GAME

Open the PDA

You'll find it

I'm serious

[zealous trail]

I had to learn that by dying lol

Cause I didn't notice that

[brisk zinc]

https://tenor.com/view/aidan-gallagher-aidan-aidansarmy-lemoncult-the-more-you-know-gif-24039600

[zealous trail]

[brisk zinc]

Seriously we even have A MANUAL in game

[agile dune]

So how exactly does the weapon sway work? I've noticed that sometimes I have nearly none and sometimes I have a ton is it something to do with how wounded you are or what?

[brisk zinc]

And soon we'll also have the thing in #╭📖faq about repairing weapons and armors

[brisk zinc]

Yes

It's about your arms health

You can change the behaviour in MCM

Like how many HP you need to have in order to have the sway

[zealous trail]

Thanks for the info Falco, if I get the game working I'll check it hahahah

[ivory palm]

I keep healing it but it goes down again

and yes I use post heals to get it white

[brisk zinc]

You're doing it wrong then

It's yellow-white

Are you doing yellow-white?

[ivory palm]

yes

[brisk zinc]

It's more green than yellow but you get the point

What's going down exactly?

[ivory palm]

I use a first aid kit to get it yellow then a pain killer to get it white

[brisk zinc]

Pain killer = name?

[ivory palm]

the Russian one

starts with a Y

[agile dune]

Yadullin?

[ivory palm]

Yes

Is it broken maybe? Is that a mechanic?

[brisk zinc]

No

You need to do it quick

Medkit and then Yadulin, one after the other

[ivory palm]

That's what I did

[brisk zinc]

Take a screenshot of your health bar then

Let me see

Are you bleeding?

Radiations?

Water? Food?

[ivory palm]

POV: I'm dead 😂

[brisk zinc]

Well yes

Use a medkit first, then the Yadulin

[ivory palm]

Didn't get into any engagements, walked across Garbage

Managed rads and all that

My food is white and sleep is yellow

[brisk zinc]

You need to sleep then

[quiet willow]

Can sleep neglect damage?

[brisk zinc]

Food should be almost okay

[brisk zinc]

I'm sure it cause dizzyness (don't remember the correct word)

But I don't remember if it cause damage

[quiet willow]

Drowsiness, dizzyness

[brisk zinc]

Dizzyness probably yes

[ivory palm]

I understand taking damage walking on a blacked out leg
But it still drains to nothing after I bring it to white 75%

[brisk zinc]

Walk with "broken" legs don't cause damage

Sprinting, yes

Try to heal yourself again

[ivory palm]

Now I'm out of post heals

[brisk zinc]

Reload an older save?

[ivory palm]

please

no

fucking zone

[brisk zinc]

I was saying it for you, you can't walk in those conditions

If you manage to survive, good for you

[ivory palm]

too stubborn to quit at this point

btw do traders pay better/have better prices as you level up

[quiet willow]

No, just more supplies.

Medics level once with drug making kit and mechanics with each tool kit you give them.

Don't know if bartenders/food traders level up.

[brisk zinc]

More supplies, you pay something less

[ivory palm]

Ok cool

Btw I'm finding nothing in the stashes in Cordon and Garbage so far

is that normal in the beginning?

[olive haven]

only stashes with coordinate you have been given contain stuff otherwise you will with luck find some random med or a few bullets

[full plume]

Id there english voice for stalker and the actor?

[olive haven]

depend i've seen some option liek weapon jamming have russian/english option

[brisk zinc]

Yes, you're in the southern part of the Zone after all

You can however get coordinates for northern stashes, it can happen

[brisk zinc]

For mercenaries, yes

[olive haven]

my NVG aren't working, set the keybind to N but it does nothing, seems locked on "," but I only get the sound effect

[brisk zinc]

For stalkers, not sure about it

[brisk zinc]

It's already on N, what are you doing?

[full plume]

Can i add a mod for that

[brisk zinc]

If you have one, yes I guess

Put it at the bottom

[olive haven]

by default its says N but that keybind does nothing

[exotic creek]

mf are there even batteries inside the NODs?

[olive haven]

, make the power up/down sound

I have a full battery in yes

[full plume]

Trying holding N key for some time

[brisk zinc]

It can't possibly be ,

#│💻keybinds-in-gamma

Unless you touched something, obviously

[olive haven]

only keybind that even does a sound and rebinding has no effect

[full plume]

You must be using beefs NVD's mod

[brisk zinc]

Are you on DX8?

[olive haven]

thats set by default using DX11

ah nvm

[brisk zinc]

Yes, that's why I'm asking if you're using DX8

[olive haven]

keybind it is

LONG press to turn on/off

tapign is just brightness

[brisk zinc]

[full plume]

I told you

[olive haven]

never seen NVG brightness as somethign that needed an adjustable bind to it

planning to use those in daylight or something?

[ivory inlet]

could anyone help your boii out with finding a task id? im trying to force complete the ecologist escort for spork or whatever his name is

[warped ginkgo]

spokr LOL

[ivory inlet]

for spoon

I also am unable to get the command to work to force complete it but i think its because i do not have the correct id

[brisk zinc]

In night time, you can find yourself to up the brightness or lower it
It can happen

[ivory inlet]

want to bump my original question if anyone can help:
trying to locate a task id to bypass a quest i cannot complete

[covert dove]

How do I remove the blood splatter thing

When an enemy is hit

[vagrant falcon]

should i turn these on?

[hoary veldt]

Better to leave them disabled

They all have bugs or have performance issues

[graceful iron]

anything thats in the disabled separator is there for a reason, never enable them

[vagrant falcon]

damn

so can i add my own addons now?

[graceful iron]

you can, make sure to install them correctly and put them at the end of the modlist

but for any support go to #🔨modded-gamma-support if you add any mods

[junior junco]

Is 'dont spawn old ammo' in MCM Off by default?
Its On in my game.
Also I have never found powders or cases for crafting.

[craggy scroll]

how do i do the windows defender fix?

[kindred wing]

whats the deal with this scope afterimage/fuzz?

iirc there was a command I could use that would zoom the foreground in as well and that would fix it, but I dunno what that is

[graceful iron]

did you update recently ? dont spawn old ammo is on by default and ammo materials should start spawning on stalker loot (also you could disassemble ammo to get materials)

[junior junco]

I'm about 20 days in game and havent found any. I'm using the magazines mod and I've noticed that old ammo that spawns on dead npcs and stashes are converted to regular ammo on transfer to my inventory.
Also the reason I asked this here is I seem to find a lot of ammo, more than what I had anticipated with this economy. I'm on scavenger difficulty BTW and have yet to travel to radar and forest

[graceful iron]

magazines redux ends up giving you way too much ammo thats known, one of the reasons why its not enabled and not recommended

old ammo is supposed to be turned into normal ammo as soon as you pick it up

and as grok says : dont enable mags, easy fix

[vague siren]

Rookie question but how does one level up butcher goodwill?

[graceful iron]

butcher does not level up

[craggy scroll]

so i just made an exclusion for gamma and anomaly and this starts happening

[graceful iron]

he buys mutant parts for a lot of money and sells HP ammo for really cheap, no reason to give him supply levels

[graceful iron]

exclusion from what?

[craggy scroll]

windows defender

[tranquil dew]

what does it mean by having mo2 as a global instance

[vague siren]

fair enough

[mossy silo]

ermmm, my game just crashes when i load any save, been playing for a week now no problems until today

game is on desktop may causue issues because it a special system folder?

[graceful iron]

#old-how-to

[graceful iron]

when using mo2 it asks you if to use either a global or portable instance to manage addons

a global one usually asks you to install mo2 itself which can cause issues so its recommended to always use a portable instance

[junior junco]

Seems the mag mod overrides powder spawn or something

[graceful iron]

did you even update recently to get the changes ? #📢development

[willow hawk]

Yes you need the SDK to edit that

[charred glen]

do you guys play with helicopter patrols ?

[vague siren]

I am no masochist

[willow hawk]

No

[craggy scroll]

now my game is crashing on startup

[split jewel]

very new to this modpack and trying to find multi tools. do traders sell them or i have to go out and find?

[charred glen]

do you guys play with life granter in iron man ?

[willow hawk]

Mechanics sell them

[willow hawk]

Was it working yesterday or before ?

[junior junco]

How does the sun artifact work. Do you have to stat out in clear weather for max effect

[craggy scroll]

yes

just awhile ago before i did the windows defender fix

[split jewel]

any way to find out what is killing me? im just slowly losing health

used meds. not bleeding. not irradiated

[willow hawk]

Well, add GAMMA RC3 folder as exception

Windows defender can be triggered by MO2 virtual file system for some reason

[willow hawk]

Running on destroyed legs ?

[split jewel]

no body is at full health

[willow hawk]

Or you are dehydrated

[split jewel]

all limbs full

[willow hawk]

Or hungry

[split jewel]

water has 2 bars left

that does damage?

[craggy scroll]

ight

[willow hawk]

Yes

[split jewel]

hmm yep that was it thanks

also gun condition affects the spread correct?

can't hit shit lmao

[craggy scroll]

only gamma?

do i just make an exclusion for the whole folder?

[willow hawk]

The whole folder

If you don't trust the installer there's a virus scan pinned in #📢announcements I think

[craggy scroll]

only the gamma rc3 folder?

it crashed my gpu driver again

[molten tartan]

||I destroyed the C-Consciousness. Is that the end of the storyline?||

[willow hawk]

Hum did you finish the Sin questline ?

[vague siren]

Anyone know how to prolong bullet hole decals at range? They seem to disappear only a few metres away after shooting something sometimes

[molten tartan]

no, I thought that was side quest.

[willow hawk]

No no it's not

[molten tartan]

ah, good to know 🙂

[primal relic]

so, I found a stash in jupiter I can't open because it's under the water. Is there a command I can use to force open it or something like that? debug?

I'm desperate for expert tools, lol

[willow hawk]

Ctrl + shift ? @primal relic

[primal relic]

I tried that

[willow hawk]

Can you see "open container"

[primal relic]

i'll go look

gimmie 3m

@ me if you need a log or anything

[willow hawk]

Try numpad 0 to open it from below

I know that's weird...

[primal relic]

really? lol

ill go try

ty

it worked

LOL

[little needle]

Hey guys, when add on get updates, how do those updates get into my game? Does mo2 download automatically?

Basically need to know if I need to take action/get my vpn running to let it update

[willow hawk]

#💽how-to-update

[little needle]

Gotcha, so it's the same as when new add ons are added. Thanks!

[craggy scroll]

yeaahhh undervolting my gpu is causing problems for my other games so i guess ill leave GAMMA alone for a while

[willow hawk]

Just make two profiles

In msi afterburner

[north turret]

Is there any point in running 7.62x39 if the damage increase is only around 3-4 points higher?

Should this not get buffed?

[willow hawk]

7.62x39 has much better pen

Like 32 vs 27 for FMJ ammo

And over 60 for AP ammo

But it still uses small rifle propelant

It's like the best ammo in the whole game imo, especially considering the low recoil options of that caliber

[north turret]

You know, no matter what game it crashes on then your OC is NOT stable whatsoever bro lol. Holy shit im having a stroke wtf i cant write

I found that new AK but it needs expert tools to fix how rare are “expert tools”

[north turret]

Are those numbers big in game?

[astral wigeon]

dumb but important question to me... does Gamma have the HD models for characters or is it just the base ones?

[willow hawk]

Above Red Forest rare

[willow hawk]

Just compare to other ammo

[north turret]

I’m a bit over 20 days into my clear sky character right now and still have so much to do @willow hawk

[willow hawk]

That's how GAMMA is

Usually around 19 days I have an exo

[north turret]

Noob

[willow hawk]

Can be faster depending on luck on quests etc

[willow hawk]

Well the 40k psy helmet is hard lol

[north turret]

40k?

wha

[willow hawk]

Yes that's in the new update

[north turret]

[willow hawk]

17k was a joke

[north turret]

the speedrun community is in shambles..

[willow hawk]

I was able to buy psy helmet on day one in hard survivalist

[north turret]

[ornate salmon]

my soul and sanity is in shambles

5 total med items, 1527 rub

[willow hawk]

I will reduce the price of artefacts melter most likely

And maybe reduce the psy helmet to 30k instead of 40k

[north turret]

i don't think 10k will make a difference

lmao

lower price for melter sounds plausible

[north turret]

No luck so far 😦

[willow hawk]

In radar it's pretty common

[quiet willow]

Is the log suppose to be xray_(username) ?

Im being fatal errored by a orange glowstick

Please send help

[north turret]

Alright I will plan a trip

[visual flicker]

How aimpoint works?

[willow hawk]

Because you removed some addons

[willow hawk]

Centre of screen all the time

[north turret]

Is there a such thing as thermal binos or a thermal bino mod coming in the game?

[ornate salmon]

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

[north turret]

More like FLIR

[ornate salmon]

MIGHT be compatible with gamma since its an extension for beef's nvgs mod already included in this modpack

[north turret]

Is there a FLIR version?

Black and white thermal

[ornate salmon]

might be an optional thing or edited in mcm, idk

[north turret]

Cool, thank you, appreciate it

[ornate salmon]

this is from what i sent above btw

tho i didnt test the mod so go ahead if you wanna

@north turret

[north turret]

It says it's standalone, but it works with Beef's nvgs

[ornate salmon]

thats because its an engine mod

it replaces .exes

but DLTX also does that and its already in gamma

so idk how those 2 would pair together

[quiet willow]

Or I'm a, forgot to launch through MO.

[north turret]

apparently this doesn't work with Gamma because of Engine Updates

or different .exe's

would extremely epic if it worked though

[mild yoke]

Will someone help me trouble shoot please? I have not had any issues playing for a week, was playing last night, and quit playing without any problem. Then this morning when I try to launch MO2 I get an error message: "Cannot open instance 'Portable', the game plugin 'STALKER Anomaly' doesn't exist. It may have been deleted by an antivirus. Select another instance."

[willow hawk]

Windows Defender update fucking up the whole thing it seems

[mild yoke]

Has this been happening to other besides me?

[willow hawk]

Some people increasingly reported issues with antiviruses and MO2 these past few days yes

[mild yoke]

And is there a fix? Sorry I'm very bad at troubleshooting. I need an adult.

[brisk zinc]

What antivirus are you using?

You need to put in "exceptions" your Anomaly and GAMMA folder

[mild yoke]

Malwarebytes

[brisk zinc]

Okay, probably it deleted some files you needed

I suggest to delete those folder and put them in "exceptions"

[mild yoke]

Okay I'll try that

[brisk zinc]

Keep "downloads" folder that is inside GAMMA

It contains all your mods, you won't download anything if you keep it

#╭📖faq message

[oak vine]

does AAC stop or hinder Artefact Degradation in any way?

[brisk zinc]

Artefacts degrade when you put them on your belt

Keep them in your inventory and they won't degrade

[mild yoke]

Is there a way to keep my saved game data?

[brisk zinc]

You mean your progress?

[mild yoke]

Yes sir

[brisk zinc]

Inside Anomaly there is a folder with your savegames

I don't remember the path now

But it's in there

[mild yoke]

So it's safe from deleting my gamma files?

[brisk zinc]

Yes you can safely delete the GAMMA folder

Keep "downloads" somewhere safe

Read what I've send you in the link

You can find your savegames in "appdata"

[mild yoke]

Okay and after I reinstall I should tell Malwarebytes gamma/anomaly is safe.

[brisk zinc]

I suggest to do that before install everything again

[mild yoke]

Okay. Thanks for your help.

[grave canopy]

whats the point of characters like meeker or nimble since they dont sell unique items anymore

[young plinth]

Does anyone know the task id for Last Dawn: Find the Mercenary Scar?

Although I'm not sure if completing it with the debug menu will work because Scar completely vanished from the map

[potent summit]

Maximum difficulty at the start of the game and the maximum difficulty in presets differ in several parameters. Which of these is more fair to the balance that is intended?

[willow hawk]

Depends on your skill. Everything is balanced

[potent summit]

Maybe I didn't express myself very well. But thanks anyway.

[zealous wren]

total Stalker newbie here, so pardon my ignorance 🙂 I tried to read as much as I could in advance, but some things might only start making sense, once I started my first playthrough.

One thing before I do that - I do see regular #📢development showing up. Q: How does one handle those during a playthrough? Regularly update GAMMA or stick with the state I started the game? I don't want to break existing save games one I started 🙂

[willow hawk]

Regular updates

They won't kill your save

[grave canopy]

who buys pda in jupiter

[willow hawk]

Owl

In Zaton

[oak vine]

that's not what I asked. I meant if they slow that process down?

[brisk zinc]

No.

Because artefacts starts degrating THE MOMENT you put them on YOUR BELT.

Keeping them inside your inventory or a stash will maintain their condition.

And no since I can already see another "not what I asked", there isn't a way to STOP or SLOW that process down.

[grave canopy]

best place to get nosorog?

[pseudo harness]

found mine on monolith fella

I see that loadouts got updated and I have question - can you find anywhere K98 or Russian Contract Colt 1911 ingame? does any NPC's have them in their loadout?

[slow fox]

Is the new SMG in the game already? Vector or something?

[covert dove]

Why is Jupiter so stutters gahdamn

[mild yoke]

I tried everything you suggested and still could not get it to work, so I uninstalled/reinstalled both anomaly and gamma. Now when I download the mods through MO2 there are only 241 active mods and nearly all are flagged. I have tried deleting the mods folder in gamma and hitting "complete gamma installation" but no dice. Am I doomed?

sorry for ping btw

[brisk zinc]

Don't worry for the ping, it's better if you do it if you want an answer, I check Discord but not that often

You're blocked on Moddb, probably (it's temporary)
Open it up and check if you can browse it, if you can't, you're blocked

Don't spam "complete install" every two seconds, it will get you blocked

[zealous hawk]

how do i repair amour?

[mild yoke]

fuck me

how do I get unblocked?

[brisk zinc]

Wait it out

Don't check every two seconds if the timer goes down

Look how much you got left, close it and wait

[brisk zinc]

#╭📖faq we have an extensive guide for it

[mild yoke]

Okay. So in 48 minutes I should delete the mod folder in gamma, and reinstall through MO2?

[brisk zinc]

Yes

But before you do that

Check if you're unblocked

Don't go "full blind"

[mild yoke]

Okay. Thanks again. I really appreciate it!

[brisk zinc]

Stop MalwareBytes before you install everything again, it should help
And try to put those folders in "exception"

[mild yoke]

Already done.

[brisk zinc]

Perfect

Wait for the unblock then

It could take more than that hour, mind you

For now, wait, forget about it

[torn sonnet]

whew, i feel like i'm getting lasered from 150m by guys with 20% condition AK-74s 😅

is there any way to reduce accuracy or the distance they will notice you at?

[pale mauve]

Is there a way to disable the Body Health system?

[grand marsh]

Is it possible to have the full HUD (not minimal) and get the status icons to work? Currently if I turn off minimal HUD the status icons cover the ammo type icon

[junior junco]

If it is not causing any errors I suggest you leave it as it is. Gamma is very balanced in its own way and grok has made everything to prolong the gameplay without making it a chore. The way it's designed is to address the late game stage were the game is still fun.

[pale mauve]

Will I have to eat Akvatabs to heal a broken limb?

(i haven't played it yet)

[young reef]

Do any traders give better prices for certain things, or is it roughly the same across the board?

[junior junco]

Please read the #│📚manual
There's a lot of info in there.
Medkits for temporary heal & ibuprofen, yadulin to make it permanent

[junior junco]

For med supplies, sakharov is cheapest

[young reef]

Yeah, I figured that, I meant more like sale price markups, so if I should sell junk to one vendor, meds to others, etc

[junior junco]

I haven't checked. But since gamma is exclusively depended on crafting, I suggest you stash everything

[ornate salmon]

is it just me or can i not change companions' armors

[tidal raft]

You can't after DNPCAV was disabled by default. See description in MO2.

[pale mauve]

Nothing specific

[ornate salmon]

i have it on

theres no crashes, its just

it doesnt seem to work

[tidal raft]

🤷

[junior junco]

The all healing meds indicate what they heal, whether temporary or permanent & how much. It's not complicated

[pale mauve]

I meant that I can't find the specific values

[astral wigeon]

what is adding "daddy tokens"???

[junior junco]

That's why I said that it not complicated. You'll get it once you play. Don't worry about it.

[unique tundra]

Hi, can i change faction while playin as merc to ecolog?

[pale mauve]

No, I understand how it works, I've tried BHS before and I haven't had a good time with it.
I just want to know the values so I can decide whether I wanna play it or not.

[signal dragon]

yes

i think

[junior junco]

In that case you'll have to ask grok. It's not like EFT or EFP if that's what you're asking. Meaning its comparitively easier to heal limbs

[pale mauve]

Is pinging an important person here a death sentence?(Like in the Anomaly discord)

hold on

[pale mauve]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/100-groks-body-health-system-redux-for-151
Is GAMMA using the exact same version of this?

[junior junco]

I haven't used this separately, but it looks similar. However there are meds that post heals much better and cheap like yadulin

[pale mauve]

aight

I'll try it someday

[brisk zinc]

Check inside the mod list

[pseudo harness]

you should be, if you get yourself to Yantar and ask Sakharov - he should have dialogue like I want to change faction

[brisk zinc]

Yes

I don't know about being a Merc

But Sakharov do have the dialogue

[zealous trail]

I fixed that adding this to exceptions

[brisk zinc]

Perfect perfect

[unique tundra]

Can i do it too as loner if i want to become merc?

[pseudo harness]

not sure - if you have Dynamic Faction Relations and you get yourself friendly with mercs, Aslan should give you the dialogue
or if you disguise yourself as faction which is friendly/neutral to Mercs, again, speak with Aslan

[zealous trail]

I have been playing with a manual undervolt, the regedit fix and the win defender exceptions for 2 hours and 30 minutes straight this morning and no errors

I hope the game stills working that way xD

Go make a #╭📖faq post please king 👑

[bleak pollen]

.. Just to be sure.. If I want to swap damaged parts off my armor, I'll need the appropriate light / med / heavy repair kit ?
Same goes for guns ?

I usually overlooked part condition in anomaly by buying fresh guns so.. 😄

[pseudo harness]

if you right click your armor and choose details, scroll down and you will see which repair kit is needed

[brisk zinc]

Yeah I'll try to put something together

[bleak pollen]

Gotcha, thanks ! Only got a single gun repaired ever, so my memory was blurry and missing steps

[brisk zinc]

[pseudo harness]

for example

[willow hawk]

Read in game manual in PDA > Guide > GAMMA

You guys are almost too helpful, sorry for the basic disturbance..

Great modpack btw, really loving it so far !

#╭📖faq (yes)

[pseudo harness]

is there a way to change volume of sounds which my character makes when he is low on health? because somehow those sounds are really loud in comparison before I updated GAMMA (update after like a week)
and yes, my ingame sounds are both on 0,1 (only environment sounds are on 1 )

[north turret]

I can't find the the laptop for the scientists quest, any help?

[willow hawk]

Top level

[north turret]

Ahh, it said 2nd floor

Got it, thanks

[willow hawk]

2nd floor

That's correct in European terms

Since we have floor 0, 1, 2

Vs america floor 1, 2, 3

[north turret]

What does the laptop look like?

I only see a computer and no prompt to pick anything up

Nevermind found it

Do you actually need the laptop?

[graceful iron]

there is a way to enable easy healing for the addon but its already simple and easy enough (its been rebalanced in gamma) you can remove it by disabling the body health system and gamma minimalist HUD but you should give it a shot if you are new to the pack

[north turret]

Oh hey okay cat

[graceful iron]

?

[north turret]

Hope you're doing well, I've been thinking to myself that the Grok's economy system is alright for weapons, but is there anything specific to the outfits>

?

Cause it's really hard to come by the materials for armor, and gasmasks are pretty rare unless I take a ton of time fighting mercs or military, and their gasmasks are immediately busted

Unless there's a trick to farming for materials for armor, I'm kind of stuck with bad gear, unless there's quests for better gear

[graceful iron]

first make sure to check the manual in-game in the pda and see the armor repair section in #╭📖faq but for parts its mostly disassembling any outfit and helmet you find with parts at 50% and above and taking those only

grok is also planning to add armor parts to mechanics like gun parts

[north turret]

Ah alright, I thought it was the same with gun parts, needing to be 60 percent

[graceful iron]

no for armor its at 50

[north turret]

Are there any npcs that give some good loot that I should take note of

I finished the Clear Sky Cold questline for the armor

[pseudo harness]

from my experience you get Grizzly detector from artefact quests if I remember correctly

[north turret]

Specifically from the ecologist with turning in their desired artefact?

[graceful iron]

i assume you already have access to a basic toolkit but if not hip gives a basic toolkit for doing her toz194 and 20 buckshot mission while you get a basic from giving spirit some vodka. the aslan patch lottery has chances for both basic and advanced toolkits

doing the artefact hunters for the ecologists around the zone gives some useful belt attachments sometimes

[pseudo harness]

not sure if I remember, but I believe it was for delivering 3 meta artefacts - and it was in Agroprom?

[willow hawk]

Any npc give good loot

[graceful iron]

i think they are asking about mission rewards

[willow hawk]

Aaah

[pseudo harness]

and yeah, Aslan has lottery where you can get artefacts, weapons (MP7, P90 with ammo), toolkits

[cinder valve]

Does "Complete GAMMA installation" after "Update GAMMA data" also update the addons which are mentioned in the #updated-mods-in-gamma section? Or do I have to manually download and copy/replace?

[brisk zinc]

#╭📖faq

[cinder valve]

I know, but I'm asking because a lot of mods haven't been updated even though I ran the Complete Gamma installation

[brisk zinc]

What do you mean "haven't been updated"? Like how do you know exactly?

[cinder valve]

Well, for example, even though I just ran and completed the Complete Gamma installation the mod "Screen-Space-Shaders" which is at Update 6.1 currently is still at Update 4 (03.04.2022)

At least the ModOrganizer says so

Unless the ModOrganizer is pulling wrong info

[brisk zinc]

No you're right about that

@willow hawk

[bleak plank]

so I been playing for a little bit

now

and wondering if I can active trader overhaul midway through?

any known issues?

or is new game required

[brisk zinc]

#╭📖faq

[bleak plank]

hmmm I don't see there if i need a new game

[brisk zinc]

@graceful iron I need your guidance on this one

IIRC it's not required because it's a "restock thing" but I'm not sure about it

[warped ginkgo]

no need

will have to wait for next restock cycle

[magic reef]

is there a setting to avoid auto equipping side arm when picked up?

[warped ginkgo]

i think its a script that grok added, but i have no idea what addon has it

[magic reef]

oh ok

[willow hawk]

I'm forcing an old update #📎to-do

[willow hawk]

It's vanilla anomaly

[sour seal]

universal cleaning kits can maintain parts right?

[graceful iron]

no

[pseudo harness]

Part repair kit can

[sour seal]

hmmm. but it does say in the desc that it can

i have both universal and part repair kit but maintain parts doesnt show up

just trying to clean parts that are 80%

[graceful iron]

it cant, the description got fixed

update

#💽how-to-update

[sour seal]

isee

so is there anyway to clean parts apart from field stripping and maintaining manually?

aside from replacing with kits

[hoary veldt]

Ramrods, files, and multi tools

[graceful iron]

right click the gun and maintain when having a cleaning kit

[hoary veldt]

Oh wait, cleaning while they’re in the gun

Nevermind Cat is right

[willow hawk]

Read the Guide > GAMMA in your PDA. It saves lives.

[pseudo harness]

right click - maintain parts - select part
and I believe you can only maintain when that part is orange?
and yeah, I thought you meant repair weapon part in inventory

[sour seal]

alright. ill try it out when it drops to orange

just lazy tbh

[hoary veldt]

Well, it’s be best for you to maintain the part before it drops below 60% condition

I’m pretty sure its unsalvageable once it goes below unless you buy a part repair kit

[sour seal]

yup or replace part with the corresponding gun kit

[marble kelp]

My game is too dark, what can be the case?

[willow hawk]

Your Nvidia or AMD parameters or your screen calibration

[marble kelp]

I mean it was okay before, but recently started the game and it became dark even at day time

[willow hawk]

Check #│🔧troubleshooting there's a section dedicated to fix a game that is too dark

[marble kelp]

Thanks Grok! Love your mod pack

[ornate salmon]

i agree with this morty person

[opal haven]

I have stupid question about the core 0 disabling/removing guide. There is method with task manager and separate guide to modify modorganizer ini. I suppose the last is to make changes permanent, so i don't need to disable it from tm while in game every time?

or i need to do both anyway?

[willow hawk]

Correct

[opal haven]

Ok, thanks

[daring fox]

Kinda dumb question as I haven't seen it yet. Should I be able to interact with existing beds in the world to sleep, or am I required to have a sleeping bag in my inventory to use the sleep feature?

[graceful iron]

you can use some beds, see on the map if they have a bed marker

but its better to use a sleeping bag and to have a bed spread in your inventory for less chance of waking up early

[daring fox]

@graceful iron nice, thank you. overlooked the pda display there

[steep pollen]

hey guys ? how to quit noclip ? un pressed something on my keyboard and my camera is flying :/

[graceful iron]

numpad 0 for freecam and press esc to go back to the actor

[steep pollen]

thanks !!

[oak vine]

is veles betterthan grizzly? why should i waste my electronic parts?

[novel dune]

How many vodka bottles I need to bring to Spirit for a basic tools set? Is it nemiroff?

[graceful iron]

the grizzly is crafted with advanced toolkit and detects all artefacts (like a veles) but works like a bear

[oak vine]

its just so much cheaper

[graceful iron]

also works better at night than veles and svarog, but wont show the exact locations of artefacts

[oak vine]

yeah thats really not that important, but I guess it helps some people

[pseudo harness]

it is mentioned in notes, how many and which one does he want - I guess 25 in total?

[novel dune]

25? geeesus

[oak vine]

well its a basic toolkit

[novel dune]

true

[graceful iron]

its 25 uses, not bottles

i think

[novel dune]

oooh

[hoary veldt]

25 uses, totals up to about 5 or so full bottles

[oak vine]

and he gives a beryll suit. is that actually in goodcondition?

[novel dune]

[hoary veldt]

Berill?

I think you mean Basic Toolkit

[pseudo harness]

he doesnt give Berill

[oak vine]

na i mean a diferent guy

[graceful iron]

he no longer gives a suit

[oak vine]

the cook

[hoary veldt]

Yeah, uh

Same guy

[oak vine]

in the dialogue it says suit

[graceful iron]

also known as spirit yes he gives a basic toolkit

[ornate salmon]

how many bottles does he need again?

[graceful iron]

no it does not, grok already fixed the dialogue

[oak vine]

time to update then

[pseudo harness]

https://github.com/Grokitach/Stalker_GAMMA/commit/ce028422ebcfef24294f21f70217b98c7ec8546f

[ornate salmon]

[pseudo harness]

and if you talk to him, you get note from spirit

[ornate salmon]

btw @graceful iron it was good seeing you in vc today

[pseudo harness]

and it contains all info on how much for what

[untold umbra]

If I wanted to really crank up the damage on everything so stuff (including me) drops really really quick where in the settings would I go about doing that? would it be this setting? or is that just a screenshake thing or something

[graceful iron]

damage balancer and GBO overwrite those settings, unless you are trying to make the game impossible to play dont try to mess with damage and if you want a harder experience just enable master difficulty #📢announcements

#📢announcements message

[ornate salmon]

yoooooo

wtf?

thats a thing?

looks like i stumbled upon another great thing

BUUUT, even if i lost my chance to get invictus since i died 2 times like a retard, i wont turn on master on ironman since im not THAT insane

I updated the game through the installer but the issue is still there

[warped ginkgo]

stack trace takes another victim

[graceful iron]

save > open debug and delete common squads > sleep for 48 hours and then try again

[warped ginkgo]

doesn't that delete important npcS?

[graceful iron]

common squads does not, delete squads does

[warped ginkgo]

[late depot]

Is there any way to force sleep? Or do I just chug sleeping pills?

[graceful iron]

sleeping pills, and since you are trying to debug just use the debug menu to get some

[late depot]

alr, ill try now, thanks alot

It worked perfectly @graceful iron thank you very much

It also failed a pesky mission I couldn't finish lol

[graceful iron]

[late depot]

So no more mission clutter

[hidden girder]

Is it normal that a pseudogiant spawns near rookie village?

[graceful iron]

it can happen but very rare

[hidden girder]

Well

[graceful iron]

try to lead it into an anomaly or just ignore it

[hidden girder]

It happened right as I started my first playthrough

Ok so its not just me being crazy😂

[graceful iron]

its fine

[agile dune]

Idk man seems pretty good to me I mean I had an entire squad of Military right on top of me when I went to Garbage.

[graceful iron]

that could be a bounty squad...

[agile dune]

Oh god really?

[novel dune]

what is aimpoint? 🤔

like a weapon laser? how do we use it ?

[graceful iron]

which? if its a laser on the gun hold L to activate it

#│💻keybinds-in-gamma

[novel dune]

red point aimpotin

L is lamp

and I can't add it to a gun?

only on quick use

f1-4

[graceful iron]

thats an optic ?

[novel dune]

i guess it requires a specific gun then

oh, it has "use" option - I tried to drag n drop it on a weapon just like a scope or silencer

[graceful iron]

its a kit?

[novel dune]

how do I add it to a weapon? when I press use i hear clicking sound (weapon attachment sound) - but when i press and hold L, only the lamp turns on/off

keymap says L and long L

L for lamp, long L for laser

[pseudo harness]

check if it was even attached to that weapon - it can be mounted only on some glocks or similar weapons if I can remember

[novel dune]

I've got APS handgun, TOZ-34 and AK-74M

[pseudo harness]

try to move that attachment on weapon inside inventory (like when you mount scope or silencer) and check if it attaches on the weapon you are trying to mount
OR you can hover over your weapon and if that attachment is available for that weapon, it becomes green

[novel dune]

when i hover it is not compatible

I guess I need another weapon, thanks!

[pseudo harness]

also one quick thing - if you have Warsaw Pact weaponry, you will most likely mount only "russian" scopes and if you have NATO weaponry, you will mostly mount NATO ones (like ACOG, AC1602 red dot etc.)
there are also specific scopes for some weapons (Mosin/SKS, K98, Groza, Galil etc.)

[novel dune]

yeah I know that already. and now that you mentioned it, it makes total sense for lasers as well

[untold forge]

Is path too long error normal ?

[graceful iron]

did you start the installer as admin?

[novel dune]

I had that issue while installing for 1-2 addons. after downloading them manually it was gone

[untold forge]

Yes

[graceful iron]

it should be fine

[untold forge]

Aight then, thanks

[agile dune]

Is there a way I can prevent my character from constantly talking/ complaining when tired or injured? The frequency is way to high and becomes very obnoxious after a while.

does it consume ammo i leave in their inventory?(like if i wanted them to use AP ammo while exploring jn monolith territory)

[unique tundra]

okok

ty

[brisk zinc]

Read the manual...

You have it on your PDA...

[graceful iron]

the condition does affect how much they jam but its not worth trying to repair their weapons, the condition goes down so fast when they use them
you cant give them ammo to use. they have unlimited ammo

[winter drum]

haha i did notice they jam a lot so i let them carry my repaired rifles im not using, was just curious if they would break them over time

[agile dune]

Do pink level stashes still exist or is it just the white and green ones now?

Hey, am I able to move the game to another drive and keep my save file?

[graceful iron]

yes, just back up the save file and move the game folder and then make sure to set the mo2 paths correctly

[languid fox]

what does the bottle stat icon mean?
is it bleed because my health keeps ticking down and I have no idea why

[graceful iron]

if you are going to move the gamma folder as well you will need to delete the mods folder in gammaRC3 first

[north turret]

Where is the save file located

[graceful iron]

you are thirsty

[languid fox]

bro no fucking shot

[graceful iron]

anomaly/appdata/savedgames

[north turret]

Why should I delete them?

[graceful iron]

see the stats UI in your inventory ...

[graceful iron]

windows has issues with moving long path folders/files (which some mods in gamma have that) so you will have to delete the mods folder, move gamma and then run a complete install after setting the mo2 paths

[north turret]

Is it good if I just copied and pasted the files?

[graceful iron]

the mods folder?

[north turret]

Yes

[graceful iron]

i really have no idea, but it can give you path too long error

[north turret]

For now I'll keep it as that, if I run into any problems I'll reinstall the modpack, but to make sure, what do I need tot do with the MO2 path?

[graceful iron]

set them in this window

after you move anomaly

[north turret]

Couldn't open MO2 sadly

Gotta redownload

[graceful iron]

what? why?

[north turret]

Not sure

Qtpin error or something

[graceful iron]

try to re-extract gammaRC3 ?

What's the purpose of this thing?

You can't sleep in it, you can't pass time...

[graceful iron]

it protects from emissions apparently

you can place a sleeping bag inside

since you cant just sleep anywhere using a sleeping bag, you need this

[brisk zinc]

Too much collision but I see the point

[brisk zinc]

Oh, that's useful then

[graceful iron]

it is quite tough to do...

[obtuse osprey]

I have an ak-105 swamp thing with what looks to be a side mounted sight along with a scope, but I can't figure out how to switch between them...
Anyone know?

Already tried, doesn't work

[agile dune]

It's your under barrel grenade launcher button

iirc

[graceful iron]

whatever you changed your under barrel GL to

[rancid gale]

Yo, there is 2 updates for mods : Screen space shader and ZCP.. Have ZCP some gamma modpack edits and is better to wait or i can update it myself ? 🙂

[obtuse osprey]

Ah thanks a lot! 😃 👍

[graceful iron]

you should try to not add any addons yourself unless you know what you are doing. they will be updated in the pack at some point

[sleek dust]

I would like to install prosperity reshade but i'm unsure how to, when i right click and install mod it tells me "the content of anomaly is invalid"

[pale silo]

is there a way to disable the chromatic aberration from the binoculars?

[radiant marlin]

Is it possible to start with warfare and story modes together (Warfare Alife Overhaul is checked in MO)?

[graceful iron]

yes

but warfare is not recommended for gamma and we dont provide support for it

[radiant marlin]

Yeah, i know but i cant check both

[graceful iron]

move warfare Alife overhaul to the end of your modlist

[warped ginkgo]

hello
go read the manual is in your PDA!

[graceful iron]

?

[radiant marlin]

Thx it works!

[obtuse osprey]

Hey, for cleaning a 60%+ barrel of a gun it says in the manual that you can just right click the gun and clean it, but I have no such option?

[hoary veldt]

Do you have the appropriate cleaning/repair kit?

A handgun needs a Progress Cleaning kit to maintain a part, for example

[obtuse osprey]

Have rifle cleaning kit

and its a rifle

[hoary veldt]

Specifically which gun?

Right click the gun and click details

[obtuse osprey]

ak-105 swamp thing

[hoary veldt]

It'll tell you what kit you need and what you need to clean it

Army rifle kit and the barrel is above 60%, then you right click and see if maintain is an option there

[obtuse osprey]

Get the feeling i can only do it with parts and not the barrel

[hoary veldt]

Does the Swamp Thing need an advanced kit or army rifle?

Did you check the details?

It should clean the barrel, not just the parts as long as they're above 60%

[obtuse osprey]

Oh it worked now...

[delicate wharf]

if you have the army rifle kit you can maintain the barrel at any %

[obtuse osprey]

Weird, tried it before and it didn't react to it

[hoary veldt]

At least it's clean now

[obtuse osprey]

Oh well, yeah its clean now so ;P

[delicate wharf]

the 60% is if you don't have the actual repair kit

[obtuse osprey]

Thanks for the info!

[hoary veldt]

Mmm, must be confusing the two then

Thanks for the clarification

[delicate wharf]

np, you can maintain any part at any % in the gun at the cost of a charge on the appropriate kit

that way you don't have to find every part in a gun

though it is cheaper to do so

[obtuse osprey]

Also real quick question, when will the traders begin selling rifle ammo for ak's and m4's?

[hoary veldt]

Around Supply level 2/3 they start selling FMJ rounds for 5.45 or 5.56

[sudden egret]

is there an easy way to extract the data for repair items (e.g., cost, repair amt, repair threshold) or would it be easier to just copy it down manually from debug menu

[swift breach]

Hey folks, do I have to activate any add-ons in order for unmarked stashes to be empty? I opened a random unmarked stash and there was stuff in it.
Granted it was trash items but I thought they were empty altogether

[quiet willow]

Already tuned everything to 0 in ZCP?

[swift breach]

oh so I had to tune things. Thought it'd be like that as default. Thanks

[late depot]

ambushed by monolith and nearly died, but i got Carbon steel plates out of it so I call this a great win

[brisk zinc]

Ask in #🔨modded-gamma-support

[warped ginkgo]

it should be in the .ltx of the item

[austere frost]

anybody know how to disable my character not being tired enough to sleep

im just trying to make it the next day

[bleak egret]

Take some sleeping pills or get drunk

[austere frost]

cant i just turn it off

[bleak egret]

Im pretty sure very bad things happen to this mod if you do. ITS LISTED IN BOLD CAPS DO NOT TURN IT OFF in the FAQs

[brisk zinc]

Thank you

[brisk zinc]

No

[austere frost]

bro rlly

[brisk zinc]

Yes

[austere frost]

just slammed a whole bottle of vodka

[brisk zinc]

Did you touched sleep deprivation in settings?

[austere frost]

i didnt

[brisk zinc]

Okay

Keep it that way

[austere frost]

its on tho is it supposed to be

[brisk zinc]

Don't touch it

Leave it how you find it

[pseudo salmon]

With the new ballistics/armor system, can i still kill enemies with Hollow Point headshots? Like if a bandit has T2 body armor, can i dome him with .45 hydroshock?

[swift breach]

if they're not wearing helmets, I assume you probably could

[zealous wren]

I'm on my first playthrough ever - never player Stalker and just dipping my toe into the vast complexity - starting with GAMMA from the get go. I've read the manual about the mechanics and such, but my real question is - is there a general "DOES and DON'T guide" ? Or a beginners guide in general?

I'm so blown away from all those mechanics and items at the moment it's unreal 😄 but in a good way.

[jagged lance]

just play it and you'll get the hang of it mate

just make sure you read the manual before you ask something please lol

[bleak egret]

Biggest thing is to take a backpack, right click on it, and create a stash at a convenient location. This will be your "base". This backpack can hold infinite amounts of stuff. You will be stashing so much crap in there you will lag when you open it. There will be LOTS of crafting later when you get toolkits. Keep every item that has a weapon part that is at least 60%, and armor that is at least 50%. Stash stuff you cant even imagine youll need. "Oh, what you want me to stash broken wood and metal pieces???" Yes.

[zealous wren]

much appreciated tips! thx

Is there a recommended faction for a total beginners?

[bleak egret]

Loners or Clear Sky. Loners are, well, independents, basically. Clear Sky is the same, but with more of a moral mission to do good things and fix up the zone.

[pseudo salmon]

Ecologist is good for beginners too. I would watch a Lets Play to learn the basics of GAMMA - Cheeki Breeki just posted one.

[zealous wren]

nice - I already put 5hrs into a Clear Sky char 🙂

[bleak egret]

You are now a swamp rat

[zealous wren]

will do 👍🏻

[zealous wren]

I think I bugged out the sleeping bag with the compression bag. I put the sleeping bag in the compression cover and by accident moved it to the F4 hotkey/slot. Now I can no longer unpack the sleeping bag. Am doing something wrong or broke smth?

[pseudo salmon]

GAMMA has an addon which makes Cordon (Starter zone for Loners) easier during the first few days. Less mutant spawns. Also the missions in Cordon from Wolf outside Sids bunker are super easy and a great way to farm up $ to buy a handgun repair kit or mats to craft a Light Armor kit.

[bleak egret]

TBH i just disassemble those anyways. Free cloth. Its dangerous to sleep outside, so I just head back to base at the end of the day, do my crafting, cook some stew, sleep in the free beds.

[zealous wren]

well - here's a little horror story of mine

I did the mission were I had to support the assault on the Machine Shop or how its called. Stupid me ventured there alone, at night but was lucky enough to get Clear Sky company. Was an intense firefight .... I survived with a few bullets in my chest but that was fine. Tired, exhausted, hungry and almost blind due to the weather conditions, I made my long way back home. Most intense 45 minutes of my playthrough so far 😄

So I thought I'm gonna buy a sleeping bag to not have to venture all the way, in case of such a situation again

[bleak egret]

Yeah, such is life in the zone. I would invest in some Night Vision Goggles. Purchasing them is expensive, but if you have a basic or advanced toolkit you can whip up some nice stuff. Crafting really is key in this game.

[zealous wren]

Is there a way to add the required toolkits to a mechanics vice? Or do I have to find just a fitting mechanic that has a better equipped vice?

[bleak egret]

So you CAN give them to any mechanic via asking them if they have any missions. They pay a lot of em too.... BUT.... you then have to pay them 1000 roubles to use the vice. Alternatively, you can just right click the tools in your inventory for a "mobile vice" thats just as good, and free.

[zealous wren]

just watching this YT and when I looked at my Clear Sky starting mechanic, he has none

[zealous wren]

but that will deplete my tools usage, right? the static vice costs cash, but I can keep my repair kits

[bleak egret]

All the toolkits are permanent as long as you dont sell them or give them away for quests.

[hoary veldt]

GAMMA has changed the repair kit usage, the only time you use them is if you use the kit itself to repair an armor

[zealous wren]

I see - I might mixing things up, with all those kits 😄

[hoary veldt]

I wouldn't use a Mechanic's vice for any reason since toolkits offer the same service for free and on the go

[zealous wren]

rgr - thx

alright, it's 4am over here - time for some shuteye. thx for all the answers folks, appreciated

[bleak egret]

The only reason to give them to the mechanic is A: CASH MONEY, and B: Getting the Achievement for doing so.

[royal glacier]

hello there, im in lab x8 and cannot find anything to grab (documents, etc) and ther are only rats, no other enemy
is it bugged?

[south pagoda]

Could someone who is using / has tried the Autumn Season Redux from #custom-textures - how is the gunplay during the extremely foggy weathers? Can npcs see through them, and shoot at you, while you cannot? Or are adjustments made in some way to allow for fair sight between npc and player?

[agile dune]

Are any of the tactical lasers IR?

[swift breach]

this is gonna sound dumb, but how do you completely clear a keybind?

[hoary veldt]

Which one are you looking to remove specifically?

[swift breach]

the pda

[hoary veldt]

Try putting another key on it, and putting said key on its original key?

I.E put M1 to PDA, then put M1 to fire again

[swift breach]

that worked. how about mcm keybinds?

[hoary veldt]

I think you have to use backspace on mcm but I’m not sure

[swift breach]

backspace is being accepted as a keybind

[hoary veldt]
