[crisp ledge]

Does that lead to crashing? Ive been doing it out of habit still from RC1

[graceful iron]

it can lead to busy hands and possible crashes yes

[crisp ledge]

oh busy hands, lol that was every 10 mins back then.

[graceful iron]

in the most recent updates the hold alt to disassemble should be disabled by default

[crisp ledge]

I see, it hasnt prevented me from disassembling without pressing alt, i just find myself pressing it when sifting through loot

[north turret]

I understood sleeping will repair limbs, but now I see doesn`t happen anymore, is there any reason?

[graceful iron]

it should still, did you disable any addons or change anything?

also i think you need to sleep enough to recover limbs

[north turret]

I sleep over 10 hours and I didn`t touch any addon from original installation

[wise gull]

Priviet. Is there a keybind to switch geiger counter mode?

[low dragon]

am i supposed to stash every weapon/armor with bad condition I find or only certain condition? Also where do you put stuff you want to trash? does item disappear if it put them in a random box?

[willow hawk]

Stashed items are safe. Just keep the guns with barrel above 60 or guns you want to repair in the long run (ISG guns etc)

[low dragon]

Alright thanks!

[olive haven]

what kidn of scope can the Custome Toz-34 equip? Doubt the picatinny rail is only for show

[magic reef]

i updated but my guy still raise and lower guns ?

[willow hawk]

Yes ?

You can disable that addon if you don't like it

The update only concerned bushes

[magic reef]

aha only bushes ok

[wise gull]

How can i switch geiger counter to enviroment mode?

[glossy depot]

um every time after an update my settings come back to default

are those settings in user.ltx?

Is there a way to change the passage of time ingame? Sometimes it feels like it goes too fast.
Back when I was doing the "take the machine yard" mission I was walking towards it with the CS squad. We left the CS base at 1pm and arrived at the machine yard at 4pm

Mutant pats don’t sell for to much

Are they only useful for tasks

[brisk zinc]

Go to Butcher in Garbage

He's the only one who pays them well

Yes, even those mutant parts that in theory scientists would pay the most

[glad rampart]

I went to the doc and he didn’t pay to much more or maybe I thought I’d get more then I originally thought

[brisk zinc]

That's why I'm telling you to go to Butcher in Garbage

Because he is the only one who buys mutants parts at a good price

Keep the meat for yourself and cook it, sell mutants parts

[glad rampart]

Thank you

[north turret]

Hey people, proabably a very stupid question but : Ive had a firefight in GAMMA and since, my dude keeps grunting/taking damage every time I run for more than 5 seconds. What is broken inside my body and how do I fix it ? (Ive tried bandages, sleeping and medkits to no avail)
Shouldnt there be a specific icon showing up somewhere if I have a specific condition ? (guessing its a broken leg but I dont know if thats even possible)

[cinder valve]

I'm guessing the eternal STALKER distant shadows bug is "unfixable"? I'm talking about shadows disappearing as you look at them on distant hills. That is, a large shadows only appears on the margins of FoV.

Is Sakharov supposed to sell steel and kevlar plates on lvl 2 supply?

[ornate salmon]

bruh whats with my reload key not working

[north turret]

Set it again in Settings, and maybe change to F7 or else. Be sure the settings is active

[slow fox]

Are there any plans to make the ballistic plates repairable?

I mean the ones you find on people

I found a T1 and a T3 and I was wondering if I can fix them up

[woeful goblet]

Hello! Are shelters still supposed to protect from psi storms? I am Getting hit/suicide even when sheltered in rookie village.

[brisk zinc]

You're not sheltering good enough then

To answer your question yes, shelters protect from everything

[winter drum]

do exo batteries stack/combine within a suit or do they work like flashlight batteries and just replace the old one?

[woeful goblet]

Well, Sids bunker and the sleeping area are not safe then 😦

[brisk zinc]

Sid's bunker is fine 100%, I always use that when I'm there

Even Wolf goes down there

[lusty hollow]

How can I resset mcm settings to default gamma?

[woeful goblet]

I got through it by using a marijuana... somehow it did not detect I'm in a safe area, but after using some psi protect, the psi bar went back up

[little dome]

Hello! How can I change certain keybinds? For example I would like to use H for something else

[brisk zinc]

somehow it did not detect I'm in a safe area

That's literally the problem, I don't know why though

[brisk zinc]

MCM settings for mods keybinds or settings in general for "normal" keybinds, it depends if it's a mod or a simple setting you want to change

[woeful goblet]

hopefully that does not happen again!

I troubleshooted my sheltered psi-storm death a bit and it happend that by having an artifact equipped that gives negative psi protect, you just don't survive even when sheltered

[vivid basin]

can't fucking reach it...

and it's a package too so i can't exactly just give up on it cause it will keep other packages from spawning...

do i really have to go fiddle with the actor camera shit again ?

are you in a LOW crouch?

[shadow hearth]

Hi for all, I have some frame-rate problems I have an RTX 3070 and I have played for 1 month the EFP mod with 75-90 FPS on ultra the most of the time, but when I installed the GAMMA mod my framerate is lower than the EFP mod and I don't know why I put the same graphics options and fewer mods, maybe I am doing something wrong but I don't what, I appreciate your help. Thanks!

[bleak egret]

Whats the rest of your PC?

[bleak egret]

and what resolution

[shadow hearth]

1440P, I have a Ryzen 9 3950x and 64gb RAM

[brisk zinc]

3070 here as well, Ryzen 7 3700X, 16GB RAM and obviously I play in 2K as well

Shadows, sun, water, draw distance, grass, especially grass... these are the most intensive
I suggest to play the game in fullscreen and put the frame limiter to 60, you won't get 144 or whatever FPS you have anywhere

[shadow hearth]

I understand but why do I have less performance when I play the gamma mod with the same configuration as that EFP mod?

[brisk zinc]

Because EFP is one thing and GAMMA is another thing
People always fail to get this, different modpacks, simple as that

[bleak egret]

GAMMA is a monsta

could also hit HOME key and mess with your shaders

[brisk zinc]

Also GAMMA have shaders and Reshade, like Demonturtle was saying, you can try with that

Check also #old-framerate-optimisation

[winter drum]

i turned off brain scorcher and grabbed the documents nearby, the door leading out (i presume) is locked. am i meant to go back the way i came?

[grave plover]

lower HBAO setting from high to medium and you will gain a bit of performance

[bleak egret]

is that the one in Radar or in Yantar

always gettem mixed up

yeah, head back the way you came

ok cool thx

[silk granite]

hello! GAMMA makes use of JSRS right? If so, is there a safe way to remove it?

Thanks in advance

[brisk zinc]

JSRS?

This is what GAMMA uses about JSRS

[silk granite]

Yeah, the sound mod that overhauls the gunshots and such

Normaly I have a lot of stutters in vanilla Anomaly with that mod installed (my laptop is kinda weak)

[brisk zinc]

Try with #old-framerate-optimisation

I don't know if you can remove them safely, sorry

[silk granite]

ah, I see

Thank you for helping though!

[woeful goblet]

Was there a reason for asking about the artefact, as in, is it intended to lose psi health even in shelter, if you have the wrong artefact equipped?

[brisk zinc]

I've asked for the artefact because it's the first time I hear something like this

[woeful goblet]

Can the psi protect go to negatives and that be the cause, because my psi protect bar in my inventory bar is awfully nonexistent with the artefact

[brisk zinc]

You probably were losing psy health for some reason at this point

And that's why I'm asking for the artifact name, to read what it does

@woeful goblet don't me, tell me what artefact are you wearing

[woeful goblet]

I told earlier, it's the Gravi artefact

[brisk zinc]

Where

I'm blind

Yes I'm blind, sorry

[graceful iron]

you take psy damage from emissions and psy storms even in shelter if you have an artefact with negative psy res equipped

its not a bug, i think

[woeful goblet]

Roger, that's what i needed to know... I think? 😄

[plush wharf]

Any preventative measures I can take to reduce the chance of the NVG busy hands trigger?

[graceful iron]

nvgs dont cause busy hands as far as i know

[plush wharf]

Odd, the crash reports match busy hands bug.

[graceful iron]

turn on nvgs > save > crash?

[plush wharf]

yup

[graceful iron]

what RC of gamma and do you have at least a recent update ?

[plush wharf]

Updated last night, but have had the problem before updating as well

[drowsy bolt]

has something changed for exos over the last 3 days? I have lower carrying capacity and can equip helmets and backpacks separately now. i looked through the updates but cant find anything concrete

[graceful iron]

did you enable any animations that are disabled? also did you use alt to disassemble ?

[graceful iron]

this has been the case for a long time, nothing changed with exos recently

[plush wharf]

The animation toggle hotkey is disabled, and all fdda animations that are supposed to be disabled (default) are disabled to avoid busy hands

If possible, I'd love to disable the hand reach for nvgs / headlamps, but I havent found something to serve that purpose

[drowsy bolt]

huh, ok, thanks. I installed gamma for the 1st time last weekend and exos behaved like in vanilla anomaly for me

[graceful iron]

you had missing files or addons most likely

[plush wharf]

Could you describe the relation with busy hands / alt disassemble? Might be a good preventative measure

[graceful iron]

sometimes using alt to disassemble can cause soft busy hands (which does not cause a crash when saving) but i think it should be gone now since other keybinds got moved to other keys than alt

[plush wharf]

Yeah, havent experienced that. Interestingly it happens inconsistently, and Ive noticed an increase in frequency in jupiter

[graceful iron]

hard busy hands should definitely be completely gone, grok made a few fixes for it

did you disable any addons or gamma fixes ?

[plush wharf]

disabled addons: lens flares and doom animations

[graceful iron]

those shouldnt cause any issues

[plush wharf]

yup, really strange

Worth noting this is a very old save

I know things can get crazy as saves live on

[graceful iron]

RC1 save?

[plush wharf]

nope, rc3

If anyone stumbles upon a way to disable nvg arm reach anims shoot me a msg, would love to see if that fixes it

[north turret]

any plans on making craftable swiss knives/ball pen hammers/grooming kits?

[plush wharf]

Also worth noting, after testing on a fresh save, I cannot replicate the issue, so that might put that to rest.

[graceful iron]

the bug seems random at times, also yes an older save is probably more likely to run into it

[chilly saddle]

Is it just me or more and more stalkers will spawn as days progress?

[tidal raft]

No, it's always the same squad count. Unless you messed with ZCP's pop limits.

The eliminated squads are replaced every 12h.

[chilly saddle]

I think i messed with the zombies count

[tidal raft]

Which one?

[chilly saddle]

No wonder why the fps was stuttering so hard 🙂

Zombie squad size iirc

[tidal raft]

[chilly saddle]

Zombies apoc every morning friend

[graceful iron]

we should add a warning to not enable any zombies

[tidal raft]

Yeah, we should.

[chilly saddle]

It's not a really satisfying experience 👍

[tidal raft]

Enabling Zombified Stalkers will cause many issues, not only to your performance.

[chilly saddle]

Can disable midgame, correct?

[graceful iron]

yes

[tidal raft]

You can, but they will remain until the next 12h segment.

[graceful iron]

you will have to save/load and then skip time

[chilly saddle]

👌

[simple mica]

which mod would I disable to allow techs to repair armor?

[simple mica]

Im familiar with it no worries. One last question, I disabled the empty stashes, I proabbly need a new playthrough for it to work hey?

[graceful iron]

probably i just hope you know what you are doing by disabling that

[simple mica]

Anybody ever have this stash? In the Eastern Tunnel of Jupiter where you're told to hunt a Burer in vanilla Call of Pripyat It's not on the exterior, above the tunnel.

Fast Travelling to it lands me on top of the train, within the tunnel, but nothing's there and nothing's under it either. Bugged?

[graceful iron]

there is nothing on the train, its a part of the train

just keep looking at the train and find the prompt to open the stash

Just a question. Is it possible to still play vanilla anomaly without uninstalling gamma ?

you can have a separate installation of a different anomaly folder or i think you could just launch the exes in anomaly/bin

hey guys, does anyone know if theres a way to enable steam overlay/tracking for GAMMA like you do for anomaly or CoC

[woeful dagger]

Hello! I have a question about the Mags Redux mod. I have it setup and it seems to be working. I filled the magazines with bullets and put them into my loadout. But when I reload, my dude doesn't actually use the magazines, he just reloads straight from the inventory like vanilla STALKER. I have reloaded many a time and I still have 3 full mags in my loadout. Do I have to assign a different keybind somewhere or something?

[rocky bone]

is there a list of everything available from the lottery?

[graceful iron]

what gun are you trying to reload ?

[graceful iron]

no

[woeful dagger]

The Fort-12, one of the starting pistols. I used the mags I started the game with and filled them with 9x18 ammo I started with too

[teal cave]

im pretty sure it has to be a steam game

im probably wrong

but im like 70% sure

[flat folio]

You're wrong.

[graceful iron]

nope, you can add games to your steam lib to track how much time you played the game

[teal cave]

huh

interesting

[graceful iron]

could be something wrong with mags addon, never seen that bug before

did you check if its downloaded and installed correctly ?

[flat folio]

I believe it's Games > Add a Non-Steam Game to Library

[woeful dagger]

Ooo I didn't think to reinstall lemme try that real quick

[graceful iron]

check the size of the downloaded file and then possibly try installing the addon manually using mo2

the downloaded file should be in this path

[graceful iron]

i assume you tried adding the exe you are using from here?

[chilly saddle]

Can someone help me install custom reshade preset for GAMMA?

I have no ideas where to start

[graceful iron]

#╟🎑reshades #🔨modded-gamma-support

[chilly saddle]

Should be similar to this?

[woeful dagger]

no luck. I reinstalled and nothing changed 😦
I dropped all my ammo on the ground to test (leaving bullets in the mags) and now I can't reload at all. I'll play around with the mcm menu to see if I'm missing something obvious

It does work if I manually drag the mags over the gun in the inventory

[desert robin]

Why does the 'APS' silencer, not work with the 'APS' pistol?

[slow fox]

Ive seen people have different icons of BHS in the left bottom corner, how to change?

[slow fox]

Because need APB silencer no?

[gloomy falcon]

It legit says on the pic that it needs an APB silencer

[rocky bone]

He is asking why it is not an aps silencer that is needed

🤦‍♂️

[rocky bone]

https://www.military-today.com/firearms/apb.htm the apb pistol is a modernized verion of the aps pistol with the ability to have a suppressor. the original aps was not capable of using a supressor (i guess) and so the tactical kit you have on it allows it to use apb supressors (since aps supressors dont exist)

[topaz snow]

hi everyone, i would like to manually modify my carry weight (Cheat amounts) but im unable to find the correct file to modify. Does anyone know? Thanks alot!

[graceful iron]

if you are trying to test things you can enable god mode in debug, it gives infinite carry weight as far as i know

[topaz snow]

I see, anyway to modify it without messing with debug mode?

[graceful iron]

probably but i honestly dont know which file/addon it is

[desert robin]

You can look at my addon on moddb called Wider Sliders that increases the slider limits to enable things to go higher. Carry weight is included.

It might conflict with GAMMA files though. I can't remember.

[graceful iron]

addons like the skill system overwrite the vanilla carry weight

so its definitely going to cause issues

[topaz snow]

hmm that actually gave me an idea maybe i can modify the skill effect values instead or something in that line. In anycase, thank you!

[river shoal]

Is the military's Operation Monolith Retribution broken? I captured the base in the Generators, received a message (but no quest) to search the lab for documents - got into the warlab but the door's locked (even with Strelok's decoder).

[brisk zinc]

#╭📖faq
I just randomly remembered your problem

[brisk zinc]

IIRC you need to have high goodwill with the NPC faction

Ok. I'm guessing "friendly" because no one wants to follow me at "major"

[jagged lance]

depends on the rank of the guy too

[brisk zinc]

Yes

[charred glen]

Hi, since a few times, every once I visit xenotech's houses, it's always either empty, or filled with bandits.. will loners be gone from there for all my playthrough, or is there a chance to see them take the place again ?
Thx 🙂

[serene cedar]

After doing this, should I still use the Anomaly Launcher? Or, just that new .exe directly via MO2?

[brisk zinc]

The new thing you can find in the drop down menu

[serene cedar]

Got it, thanks kindly.

[brisk zinc]

From time to time bandits can go there to reclaim the farm

But yes you can and will find loners or CS in there as well

It's just a matter of who's stronger

Loris and Xenotech should also be invincible

And Xeno should also defend the place if enemies goes where he is

[charred glen]

thanks for your reply !
Yeah xenotechs wins all the time, often I come by, there are some dead bodies, and he killed them all since he doesn't want me to touch them..

[brisk zinc]

I guess you have Loot Claim enabled?

It could be that mod

[charred glen]

But will I see random loners around the campfire again ?

[charred glen]

Yeah sure I play with that

[brisk zinc]

It makes NPCs killed by other stalkers "untouchable"

So yeah you can't touch them

That's the reason

[charred glen]

Yup, I like that feature to reduce "free" loot

[brisk zinc]

Yes, it's a matter of time of course

Stalkers come and go

[charred glen]

alright, thank you 👌

[slow fox]

Is there a timer after which you can claim it?

[brisk zinc]

That place could be empty or filled with NPCs

[charred glen]

don't think so... because the body will despawn anyway..

[brisk zinc]

I don't really know but I don't think so

Idk i dont have it turned on cause im a loot goblin and would just end up killing friendlies

[slow fox]

I dont mind if they have a lot of stuff, I actually like it. Its like Christmas.

[brisk zinc]

Use that mod then

NPCs won't take anything anymore

[slow fox]

Does the aggressive looting make them try to loot your bodies faster too? Or just claim their kills?

[brisk zinc]

Good question

I know for a fact that if you try to loot them or, like, get too close, they will tell you "back off or I'll fuck you up"
So yeah they claim it

[hoary veldt]

It makes them claim a body

If you screw with it too much they start shooting

[jagged lance]

and it makes me put one in the back of their head

[hoary veldt]

If you can get to it before them they can't do anything

[brisk zinc]

So you do have a little window of time before they claim them
Interesting

[visual flicker]

Well, in my case NPC claim loot worked, but this new Aggressive one does not seem to be working.

[visual flicker]

Yea, I think this might be the case in my example too.

I just rush to body

and get it. Nobody shoots 🙂

[charred glen]

same, I've both enabled, and the agressive one I didn't notice its action... yet ?

[visual flicker]

i think you should uncheck npc loot if you use aggressive one

231- More Aggressive NPC Looting (harder game, do not use with NPC Loot Claim) - Demonized

[charred glen]

Yeah I saw that somewhere, but also saw that they could be used together..

[charred glen]

okay, then I'll trust the holy installer you're right 😇

[woeful dagger]

Ah, it was discussed here in #old-bugs
#old-bugs message

[sour seal]

is there any way to repair the gauss gun?

[plucky narwhal]

I'm doing the second clear sky mission, assault that southeastern camp to clear the way to Cordon. I've taken a couple whacks at it but these guys swarm. Where's the CS assault team? I'd link up with them if I could find them.

[jagged lance]

they take a while

[hoary veldt]

They start from the CS base and go on a path through the watch tower, then to the abandoned church, and then start moving towards the machine yard

See if you can find them on their way there

I would highly recommend assaulting the yard with them around too

High rank military can spawn and decimate you without those guys supporting

[graceful iron]

i think this one is the renegades mission, hence the "road to cordon"

[hoary veldt]

Oh

LOL

Uh

Yeah they go past the church then

I'm so used to machine yard questions my mind just immediately went to it

[graceful iron]

the assault teams for both the missions will take a lot of time and probably get distracted by anything that moves near them, you can wait for them somewhere near the church

[hoary veldt]

The paths they take to both locations always pass by the church

If you missed them, you can definitely follow after the sounds of gunshots

[willow hawk]

They steal your loot more aggressively

[plucky narwhal]

Well to be fair, there are gunshots everywhere. I see a pack of guys sometimes walking into the main base, then turning around and leaving. Five or six of them. But they're too slow to follow really. I get impatient.

[hoary veldt]

Yeah, they aren't the best at getting to their destination

[plucky narwhal]

Am I correct to assume that I should be keeping guns with 60+ barrel, then field stripping everything else? I know field stripping doesn't pull the barrel, but it also doesn't use any 'deconstruction' devices, right?

[graceful iron]

thats correct

[brisk zinc]

Yes
Weapon parts: 60 (minimum) going up
Armors parts: 50 (minimum) going up

[plucky narwhal]

I found a AK-74 that had a fantastic barrel, busted everything else. Got some AKS-Us to pull components out of and prepared to Junkyard Wars it, but then it told me the base gun was too rusty to field strip. 11%

[graceful iron]

you can clean it with cleaning kits or pay a mechanic to clean the gun, depending on the base cost of the gun cleaning it should be cheap

[plucky narwhal]

Ehh that jerk wanted like 8k to clean it.

[graceful iron]

right click on the gun while you have the specific cleaning kit for the gun and maintain parts > clean

[graceful iron]

thats very cheap..

[plucky narwhal]

Yeah I just started. I suppose i'd be too green to ask how to make quick cash.

[jagged lance]

do tasks lad

carry around an entire grocery's worth of raw meats and talk to everyone you see

[graceful iron]

getting a working gun early thats not your granpa's pistol is really good if you plan on not dying every few seconds

[plucky narwhal]

Yeah I started with the K98 and a SIG. It's pretty decent with a scope if I get the drop on peeps. But they all get the drop on me

[graceful iron]

doing missions for important and random npcs can make you more money than you think

[plucky narwhal]

Besides cleaning them up and putting them into new guns/armors, is there anything to do with all these parts I'm stacking up?

All these 0% clothing components, lol

[graceful iron]

sell them to mechanics for early pocket money, but if they are at 0 just drop them or donate them to a trader (they give very little reputation)

oh wait, some of the cloths are used to craft items like backpacks

they should have a special icon if you are using the default gamma icons

you can use items to craft even if they are at 0 condition

[plucky narwhal]

Speaking of crafting, are there any recommendations on which crafting equipment to get first?

[graceful iron]

all you need is toolkits, you find them in marked stashes depending on the map the stash is in

each tier of toolkits unlocks a tier of progression

a few things are only obtainable using crafting so make sure to keep a full set of tools in your stash before handing out extras to technicians

most these thing should be covered in your pda manual

[plucky narwhal]

Sounds good man.

There's always an anxiety to get out there and grind, hard to find time for the manual reading.

[mystic finch]

so now that our key for reload and unjam is the same you can no longer press r with pda out to make it smaller

[graceful iron]

you can try learning as you play and then quickly opening the manual when you are way too confused

[willow hawk]

Oooh shit I'll fix it

[mystic finch]

ok cool

also doesn't work with mags redux I press r nothing happens can still change mags with y though it's something I can get used to though

[plucky narwhal]

Last time I opened up my manual, a renegade snuck up beside me and tried to brain me.

[jagged lance]

tried?

[mystic finch]

lol yeah the game will do that can't count how many times I have been in a stash and a pulse tried to get me

[plucky narwhal]

He shot me, but didn't kill me. I shat my pants, he tried to run away and I dropped him with my Kar

Speaking of shitting pants, what is that thunder sound effect that sounds like a blowout? Freaks me the hell out dude.

[mystic finch]

pulse I think

[plucky narwhal]

Don't those just sound... electricky?

[jagged lance]

then they explode

[plucky narwhal]

Yeah no, this sounds like a straight blowout, starting with a deep noise, then a weird almost thunder. But I don't get any radio calls that there's a blowout on the way so I'm not sure what it is.

[north turret]

How do I remove the thingy that shows me the faction and rank of an npc when I look at them

[graceful iron]

crook's identification UI addon

[graceful iron]

emissions and psy storms have new sound and visual effects

[north turret]

Thanks

[plucky narwhal]

Yeah but this was just happening during a regular thunderstorm at dusk. I was outside organizing my stash so I would have heard if it was a legit storm/emission

I thought an emission was coming but nothing arrived.

[jagged lance]

next time it happens see if you can see a blue light in the sky

or if everything goes blue for a second

[plucky narwhal]

I hunted it down. It's literally this. Emission blowout? But it's happening during thunderstorms apparently, no blowing out.

It's from the horror overhaul.

[graceful iron]

thats a pulse

its an anomaly. your pda guide

[plucky narwhal]

Huh, that's new. Pulses used to sound like a bunch of electrical anomalies jammed together. It got an upgrade!

[graceful iron]

yes the horror overhaul changes quite a few sounds

[jagged lance]

although you have to be real close to the pulse to get it on your pda

so your confusion is justified

this time

[plucky narwhal]

Fun stuff though. Also, apparently listening to blowouts on your RF receiver is a thing?

[graceful iron]

not really like that, just hold a RF receiver during an emission and you will see

[plucky narwhal]

Get an extra helping of existential dread.

[graceful iron]

[jagged lance]

same if you have the radio on your pda on during psystorms

[craggy laurel]

you get the same prices when selling to hermann or sakharov, right?

[graceful iron]

yes

[vivid basin]

I never understood the difference btzeen zhite qnd green stashes

do green stashes have higher quality loot or smthn ?

[jagged lance]

guaranteed crafting kit

[craggy laurel]

time to migrate all my shit to yanov station then lol

[mystic finch]

As I said before pulses have a nasty tendency to show up when your in your stash and they will occasionally target you on purpose at least it seems that way to me

[slow fox]

One time i was in Yantar and the pulse was going off every 5 minutes lol

[mystic finch]

I have had them 3 times in a row but never every 5 minutes lol

I have a question about reloading and unjam being the same key now I have been playing using the mags redux option but now that this change has happened pressing r no longer changes my mag would it be possible to get this working again?

[ivory comet]

I found a few pda that mentioned specific rf frequencies far up north but didn’t get a new stash or quest update, are these just flavored text or it’s actually a package/unmarked mission?

[fresh merlin]

do we have a guide on how to get the best graphics out of Stalker GAMMA ? or do we need to install more mods ?

this has to be a popular thing to figure out

[vivid basin]

yes, in #╟🎑reshades and #╟📸screenshots , people brag about their shader setups all the time

[fresh merlin]

ok so it's just reshade then. not textures or other stuff?

[vivid basin]

just scour those channels until you find one that looks really good to you, and see if they shared their configuration

there are some texture mods

[fresh merlin]

like foliage mods etc.

[vivid basin]

like winter or autumn

#custom-textures

is it possible to look like this guy with stalker gamma?

[craggy laurel]

I think it looks like aggressor, since gamma has it's own preset(I THINK)

[slow fox]

To play with mags do i just enable the mags addon or is there another one that i need to turn on too?

[slow fox]

I started a game but i have no mags at all for my sks

am i supposed to buy them or something?

[delicate wharf]

i don't play with mags but an sks top loads

[vale raptor]

Hi everyone, new to Anomaly/Gamma, so i'm missing something: my guy sounds like he's about to hurl once every say 10 secs. Also I lost half my health while just being in the bar. I can't seem to see any stat icons telling me what's wrong. Also, food, drink, sleep and radiation seems to be fine. Smoking a cig didn't help. I did drink a little mineral water as the icon with the bottle showed up bottom left. Any idea's? Probably missing the most basic thing, but i've been reading the manual and can't find anything about this.

[digital latch]

Yeah you either start a new game with mags or buy them. Depending on what kind of SKS you have you dont need mags

I think only the OP-SKS needs them

[craggy hamlet]

hi guys can someone tell me how to cure limbs?

[slow fox]

Are fractures immune to electras? I just had one run through 6 of them and still live

[slow fox]

Use first aid or other items with yellow dots in description to get temporary health and then use post heal items with white dots

[craggy hamlet]

ok ty

[north turret]

Game crashes when I disable that addon , same goes for other addons like the campfire save one

[delicate wharf]

you also need to disable relevant patches

[north turret]

My mags eject randomly and then I have to go into the inventory and put them back

[rotund charm]

where i can find what's new in the updato of 31/05/22?

[pine gazelle]

I'm not able to see the underground map in agropram and I suspect elsewhere on the map as well, please help #🔨base-gamma-support'

[warped ginkgo]

you mean you open the pda and can't see underground?

[north turret]

Hey guys, I've installed the new anomaly game and gamma mod in seperate files, when I start a new game, it loads up and crashes before the game begins
anyone know whats up with that?

[warped ginkgo]

if that's the case it's bc there was never a underground map for pda lol

[pine gazelle]

Exactly, I only see the agropram above ground map

[pine gazelle]

Is that exclusive to anomaly?

[warped ginkgo]

nope

all stalker

iirc correctly

unless some other mod added them

[pine gazelle]

https://zsg.dk/Map_AgropromUnderground.php

[pine gazelle]

I used to remember this image from memory without using mods

[warped ginkgo]

minimap maybe

minimap works

[pine gazelle]

Perhaps. I thought they were the same thing just displayed on different parts of the UI...Damn I'm using the compass. U serely helped a lot

[north turret]

@warped ginkgo

heres my lil crash log

[warped ginkgo]

how many addons, did you disable/added any on top of gammaP

?

[north turret]

I just downloaded the normal gamma download like the instructions told me to do so

its supposed to be 261 like in the vid but this one seems to be newer idk

I followed instructions step by step idk

[warped ginkgo]

you should have 286 addons

[north turret]

I'll try to redownload it but it seems somehow steath related

it says stealth a lot in the log

[slow fox]

I just started my first run with mags, messed around for an hour and i have over 300 5x45 ammo… most of it AP. Seems too much?

Most of it came from taking it out of mags

[tidal raft]

That's why Mags is optional. It breaks the pacing.

[slow fox]

Truth has been spoken

[jagged lance]

is there anything that can be done about the time between the reload animation and the gun actually getting reloaded?

so many times ive died because ive reloaded then healed and the reload didnt actually go through

[willow hawk]

It's only for a few guns

[jagged lance]

there a list of guns that do it?

[pulsar void]

Hello. Is there a way to completely remove the head bob? using the command cam_inert 0 doesn't work is seems

[tidal raft]

Settings menu.

[tidal raft]

Just be patient.

[jagged lance]

no

its the most frustrating thing that can happen

[pulsar void]

i'v looked but can't find it can you tell me in what tab is it?

[tidal raft]

Try Visuals.

[pulsar void]

done! thanks for the help

[willow hawk]

Check the MCM menu (Addons menu) > inertia camera stuff

[pulsar void]

ye i found the mod that's responsible for some more head bob and deactivated it ^^ thanks again. P.s First time using a "mod collection" not made by me and i must say good job, love the care for the details! Cheers!

[glacial atlas]

How often do traders restock?

could use some more meds from sidorovich

[tidal raft]

Every twenty-four hours.

[glacial atlas]

ok, thanks

[queen tundra]

does having a butt ton of stuff in a stash affects the fps in that close area? so far the fps go pretty good 70fps~ garbage, wild territory, not so good in rostok, but that was an usual in anomaly at least. But now every time i go to farm in cordon while in farm the fps go to 30 I know that i have more trash than the piles of garbage inside the stash but bro...

[tidal raft]

Yes.

Clean your trash pile every once in a while.

[graceful canyon]

oh i havent tried anything yet pretty afraid ill break something out of 286 mods

[ancient ruin]

how can i start another save?

[tall charm]

Whatcha mean?

Just load whatever save you have

Or do you mean another profile

[ancient ruin]

yes

i want another play through without overriding my current one

[tall charm]

Copy and save your savedfiles and just make a blank one

[ancient ruin]

ok thanks

[tidal raft]

What?
Just press New Game on the Main Menu. There's an add-on in GAMMA which names your saves after your character name.

[ancient ruin]

tbh moving the files jsut semms cleaner

[tidal raft]

https://media.giphy.com/media/jeXiz1RAvzX44/giphy.gif

[ancient ruin]

then all my saves in the load game tab aint mixed

[tidal raft]

They are sorted by date....

Unless you swap between two characters every time you die, it won't be a problem.

[tall charm]

If it work it works I suppose haha

[swift breach]

sounds like unnecessary extra work when you can just name your saves differently

[fiery jasper]

i just move my saves to a different folder when i want to make a "new character"

[ancient ruin]

is there no chambered round option?

no mags

[swift breach]

that option is part of the mags redux addon, as far as I know.

[north turret]

My mags get ejected randomly and can't reload , only from inventory . Why is that

[tall charm]

In normal Play no there is no chambered option

[tall charm]

They need to be slotted in your armor

[north turret]

i know , and they are added to the loadout

Did grok make it hard as hell to find expert tools? ive been in mid game for a while now and searched plenty of stashes, I'm not complaining if he did, just making sure its not bugged or anything.

[tidal raft]

Not yet.

[tall charm]

Have they been green staches?

[north turret]

yes

mostly

[tall charm]

Then your just unlucky

[north turret]

damn

i thought he made them only in exclusive purple ones

[tall charm]

Best answer to give ya is to just go north and pray

[north turret]

im planning

when did you find em?

[tall charm]

Check the add on menu to see if you have the add to backpack option

[tall charm]

Haven’t on this run, though I haven’t played since RC1 when you could cheese em. But even back then people where in your exact position

Sometimes you could get it on your first day

Sometimes not

[north turret]

yes its fuckin wierd

[tall charm]

Rng is the name of the game

Rule of thumb is the farther north you go up the better kits you can get

[midnight iron]

If I want to play with mags in gamma mod, does it conflict with any other mod or something, because its crashing

If anyone figured out, please let me know

[tidal raft]

#📢announcements

[digital latch]

I took a Lost Signal Mission in Wild territory but cant find anything. my radio is beeping like crazy at one spot but theres nothing there. Am I looking for a corpse or something?

[midnight iron]

Appriciate it

[rotund charm]

i tried everything in framerate_optimisation but still can't get more then 38 fps

what should i do?

[tidal raft]

Lower the DX which you run.

[rotund charm]

should i use avx or not?

[ornate salmon]

yes

if the box is not grey and able to be ticked

definitely

[rotund charm]

grey but i can tick it

i try disabling it

[tidal raft]

AVX is an optimisation function for modern CPUs. You'll want it.

[rotund charm]

do dx10 avx

so*

[rugged cargo]

how can I move away my PDA? I think it was R in EFP but I cant move away PDA in gamma

[ornate salmon]

#📢development message

im assuming keybinds settings

unless youre experiencing something else

[rugged cargo]

well whats the special key then? 😄 its not in keybind settings

[ornate salmon]

idk man, havent launched the game since latest update

im just assuming its got something to do with that

can you not just put away ur pda by clicking R or ESC?

[rugged cargo]

I can turn it off but I cant put move away it from my face

[ornate salmon]

oh then it was something else you referred to and i missed the point (and thought of the second thing)

click R

R puts it away from your face

[rugged cargo]

its not

[ornate salmon]

then idk

it does work for me

[rugged cargo]

so its bugged then

[swift breach]

R works for me, too...

[rugged cargo]

omg its F10 and it actually is in keybind settings under weapons, not PDA, pretty confusing

and if I set it to R, it unbinds reload, thats so stupid

[ornate salmon]

told you its gotta be in keybinds, i just didnt know where since i havent played since last update

[ornate salmon]

idk man

R still works for me

but at least you found the keybind

[ebon coral]

What is merc best spawn?

[warped ginkgo]

dead city probably

wild territory will get you insta rads unless you spawn and start running to rostok or other place

[hazy ridge]

dead city is the best

limansk is comfortable enough to grind stuff

army warehouse for freedom mission

[winter drum]

anyone remember where the documents are for "investigate lab x16" in yantar? i did the main quest there but i never found any documents to fulfill that quest

[hazy ridge]

can also ask guide over there to yeet into yantar

after acquire the psy helmet you can just vist yantar from ded city to farm artifact

very good spawn indeed

[hazy ridge]

lost to the zone questline?

there are 2 locations iirc

one on the top console to turn off brain machine and one in the controller room

it been too long since i play stalker

just start again with gamma few days ago havent reach that part yet

[winter drum]

thank you i must have missed the one near the console

[hazy ridge]

im not sure if the burrer toss it around (the controller room is far enough)

so prob just start searching around the map

[manic cairn]

Anybody else get some kind of busy hands bug when trying to clear a jam with glock17, AKM, waltherrP99. Cant equip anything and it forces you to load?

[willow hawk]

Mags Redux on ?

[swift breach]

mags redux can cause busy hands?

[cloud zephyr]

So, I have a gtx 1650, an I3-10105f and 16gb can my pc run the visuals from G.A.M.M.A? And if yes, which settings should I try out?

[willow hawk]

it's just that if you have MagsRedux, disable GAMMA Unjam Reload with the same key

A complete install should actually rename the MagsRedux addon to actually advertise this

[ebon coral]

Any other model mod other than HD Models?

[willow hawk]

Yeah Dux kit and FVM

which are in gamma

[ivory bridge]

Two questions: What's the difference between GAMMA disabled mods and Optional? I'm guessing Disabled is considered obsolete or scrap?

And I like to run with mags redux and there's a 'Tarkov' version in disabled within MO2. Do I need to run the 'optional' one or the Tarkov one?

[tidal raft]

Dux Innumerable Character Kit.

[willow hawk]

what's disabled - don't touch. I recently changed the name of the Mags Redux addon to better advertise the conflict with Reload and Unjam on the same key

So you can safely remove the 'Tarkov' one

[manic cairn]

@willow hawk i'll try getting rid of the unjam with same key, Ive got it bound to tarkov keys anyway

[ivory bridge]

@willow hawk Ah I see, thanks man. 🙂

[swift breach]

let me do that before I forget

[rotund charm]

get even worst fps

[cloud zephyr]

Can somebody give a helping hand to a fellow stalker?

[manic cairn]

Cant find GAMMA Unjam reload in my mods list

[livid bough]

i'm playing stalker gamma but i'm seeing that the discord rich presence doesn't work properly, it doesn't show the status / location&co, is that normal? I already checked in the options the discord box

[tidal raft]

It's not a gamma issue. Check if the option is ticked in Settings, or ask on the Anomaly Discord if it still doesn't work.

[winter drum]

i found it laying on the floor in the controller room lmao. i fought two burers in the brain machine room and they must have grabbed it way out there and tossed it around

[silver charm]

yo guys, idk if this is a bug or i'm just dumb AF (likely) but I can't get my pistol to aim properly, all it does is aim like whe you try to shoot overhead in tarkov

[ornate salmon]

click V with your pistol in hand

[silver charm]

ohhh, ok so the underbarrel noobtube keybbinding can do that, thx thx
Havent play anomaly for like 1 year, and im new to GAMMA, thankyou very much

[ornate salmon]

np

[graceful canyon]

do I HAVE to run the game through MO2 or can I run it through the exe Anomaly DX11-AVX myself

[tidal raft]

You have to.

[graceful canyon]

understood thanks

[tidal raft]

Also please change your profile description. As per the #📄rules
I've already had to tell a bunch of other users. Sneedpost Redacted had to change as well.

[sudden egret]

where is the quest ID in the debug HUD? i tried setting it as active per #│🔧troubleshooting but I don't see it on the screen

[graceful canyon]

sure

[topaz snow]

Hi guys, anyway to respawn faction mechanics if they get killed? If to respawn specific NPCs if they killed? thanks

[chilly saddle]

Game crashed after loading save

Any experts out there can give me an explaination?

[tidal raft]

Sometimes it just happens. Load the save after starting the game again.

[chilly saddle]

Not a big deal right?

[tidal raft]

No. Unless it consistently crashes on one particular save.

[chilly saddle]

Gonna load in that save right now

@tidal raft Sorry for pinging but is this normal

Anomaly just ate half of my ram

[tidal raft]

Hmm. I don't think so. Unless some new add-on really ate up a lot more.

Remember that alt-tab'ing out of the game constantly makes it worse.

[chilly saddle]

I use 1k Texture Pack, dunno if it really did anything

[vague moss]

anyway to get your companions to where the armor you give them?

[tidal raft]

Applied for what?

[chilly saddle]

Ram usage friend

[tidal raft]

By activating DNPCAV in MO2 and then get crashes every time you try to change inventory.

[tidal raft]

Textures for what objects?

[chilly saddle]

Actors (stalkers, mutants), weapons (with addons), some items, walls, roofs, floor, bricks, ground, detail, trees, bushes, glass.

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/anomaly-1k-performance-textures-pack

[tidal raft]

So you added something extra outside of what GAMMA offers?

#🔨modded-gamma-support Ask here.

[livid bough]

already checked and it's on in the settings, but still no status in the discord rich presence, and before someone ask, yes i already added the game in the activity status in discord

[tidal raft]

Ask on the Anomaly Discord in that case.

[hazy ridge]

ayyy congrats, glad it helped

[small breach]

ok so i updated gamma went into the game loaded up my last save file and got this error message "Error Shade compilation failed check your log file for additional information"

fyi i did the quick gamma update

[tidal raft]

#│🔧troubleshooting

[small breach]

i did that and the error popped up again

[tidal raft]

Complete GAMMA Installation.

[small breach]

ill try that

probably means ill have to go through frame rate opt again though ;-;

[tidal raft]

Yes.

[small breach]

it is weird though 1st time i went through it, no issues, after updating: "nope not loading that"

[runic vault]

Well I turned off the Brain Scorcher. I also have an objective to "Investigate labs x19 and find evidence of a hard conspiracy."

Ive been looking for a couple hours now and I can't find the objective. Any assistance?

[tidal raft]

The documents are near the switch.

[runic vault]

Hmm, lemme take a closer look. Thanks.

Was too busy getting the hell outta there to notice. XD

[craggy laurel]

does the smaa and anti-aliasing settings work? I put them on high but i'm not seeing any changes tbh

[tidal raft]

Leave it on SMAA x2

[willow hawk]

restart your game

[craggy laurel]

dude's at anomaly discord said to restart, the game didn't prompt to do that

[cobalt venture]

How can I get the traders to sell 5.45x39mm FMJ bullets (AK12 bullets)

[willow hawk]

Increase WP Traders supply to Lv3

[cobalt venture]

does that mean to have a rep with them above 1500?

[willow hawk]

above 1000

0 > Lv1 - 500 > Lv2 - 1000 > Lv3 etc

[cobalt venture]

alright thanks

[maiden nexus]

So my progression is going very nicely, feels balanced and enjoyable. Except I seem to be lagging in the armor department. Is there some other way I missing than to search the zone for small piece of particular fabric I need?

[willow hawk]

Disassemble ennemies armors

[craggy laurel]

since, z used to be the unjam, it's now a free button innit?

[willow hawk]

YES

You can use it to move the 3D PDA away though

[maiden nexus]

That's what I mean, that's what I am doing but its sparse to find the right materials that are over 50%. It's not like weapons where repair kits can replace parts under 60% right? And no merchants sell any armor materials?

[willow hawk]

Yes and yes

Merchants selling armor parts, I need to add it

[maiden nexus]

Ok cool. I think it would help balance the progression a bit

[willow hawk]

altghough, the thing is, you can replace maybe 3/5 parts and finish the repair with your classic repair items

you don't need to repair the 5 parts to 100%

[maiden nexus]

Ohhh

[willow hawk]

Unlike guns, armors condition = parts condition

That's mainly because armors can't jam

[maiden nexus]

So the parts get overall condition to over 65 lets say, and then regualar sewing kits would repair the individual parts along with the overall condition?

[willow hawk]

yes

[maiden nexus]

Ok ok that makes sense thank you

[willow hawk]

there's an addon that decouples the armor condition and part condition

but it makes everything more complicated imho

[maiden nexus]

I was wondering how I had all this fancy shit and was still stuck on a sunrise suit

[willow hawk]

because you need to gather and replace parts constantly

too much micromanagement for me

and armor repair items are actually a nice money sink if you want enough of them in the minimum weight

[maiden nexus]

Here's just an idea to throw at you. Sometimes the weapons repair kits feel a bit overpowered, they just magically "replace" broken parts with shiny new ones. What if you had the same functionaltiy, but for replacing parts under 60 percent, there had to be duplicates of that part in your inventory whose conditions would add up to 60%

[willow hawk]

Honestly I'm more in favor of finishing stuff and bugfixing things and release 1.0

than changing some core mechanics

[maiden nexus]

Sure thing, just a thought

[willow hawk]

if you scavenge armors parts properly, you shouldn't have any problem repairing armors

the thing is, you don't change armors a lot

unlike guns

[maiden nexus]

Yeah this idea was for guns

[willow hawk]

so the mechanism being less dynamic isn't a problem for armors

you need to make a real choice when fixing one, and I like this

[maiden nexus]

I'm loving the modpack man. It's my most enjoyable way to play stalker. Thanks for all the work

[severe shadow]

I've just seen Mags Redux has been removed, but I've always used it because I'm a Tarkov idiot. Should I start a new game or I can just load last save and hope nothing get broken?

[willow hawk]

It's not removed

Update, Tick Mags, Untick GAMMA Unjam and Reload on the same key

Hey everyone why are there 2 red boxes at 191-Icons and GAMMA disabled when I open MO2?

[graceful iron]

those are fine you can ignore them, the one at icons is optional and you can read its name for more info as for anything in gamma disabled never enable those

[chilly saddle]

Is there a way to increase the chance of monoliths having an rpg?

I want to experience ptsd

[cloud zephyr]

Should I change anything then?

Just live those two like that?

[graceful iron]

no, just leave them as they are

Ok thanks

[graceful iron]

check how many addons are active #📍577-mods-in-mo2

and then launch the game

[cloud zephyr]

Yup

This is the first time I am going to launch Gamma.

Kinda excited!

[chilly saddle]

@graceful iron Any ideas?

[graceful iron]

you can go into npc loadouts and give more of their ranks RPGs?

[rancid orchid]

hi, i downloaded the mod today, and it boots but after starting a new game it crashes during the loading screen and no prompt is given, the game simply crashes and i can hear the windows sound when an app crashes thats it, what can it be

[graceful iron]

the crash log is in anomaly/appdata/logs #╭📖faq

[quiet willow]

(Or in this channels topic)

[rancid orchid]

ok i found it but its quite a lot of data in it, what am i looking for to help you understand my crash issue?

[graceful iron]

you can just post it here

drag and drop

[graceful iron]

you have a red cross on the stealth overhaul addon in mo2 ?

its in the gameplay separator

[rancid orchid]

i have 2 red croses

[graceful iron]

and how many active addons ?

[rancid orchid]

286

[rancid orchid]

i found the 3rd one and its the stealth one you mentioned

[graceful iron]

#📢announcements the stealth overhaul seems to have a problem when installing, you can install it manually (the instructions are in #📢announcements ) or do a complete install through the installer #💽how-to-update

[rancid orchid]

is the stealth addon improtant?

cant i just disable it?

[graceful iron]

i have no idea. i guess you can try

[rancid orchid]

wont the other 2 crosses cause an error?

[graceful iron]

no, but why are they all in one spot ?

did you move addons ?

make sure you are sorting by priority

[rancid orchid]

no i just pressed on some buttons at the top that filters them

[civic wharf]

Yo everyone, finally got around to trying GAMMA (played some 40+ hours of Anomaly before) and just getting used to all the changes and new things (playing Bandits), I'm reading about the artifact hunter questline, is there no way to get that through the Bandit faction? Should I just restart as my usual Loner/Eco?

[graceful iron]

#│📚manual you can change your faction to mercs or freedom as they have access to those quests, but bandits dont have access to them

[wraith token]

You can disguise as a faction friendly to ecos for the quests.

[graceful iron]

you can do that?

[civic wharf]

oh so I can just get the quest from the merc/freedom questgivers since I'm friendly to them?

[wraith token]

No. You'd have to change factions in game.

Bandits are enemies to ecos.

Mercs and Freedom are both friendly to bandits and ecos. So you can join mercs or freedom if you wanted to as a bandit.

Otherwise you should be able to disguise and get the quests. I'm almost positive that I've at least received the quest as a bandit disguised.

[civic wharf]

and what are the changes when you swap factions besides the obvious and the availability of gear? any changes in questlines or were they made to be faction-independent?

[wraith token]

Bandits don't have any real "faction tasks" they just do things for other friendly factions.

Mercs and Freedom can both take part in the main storyline. As well as the artifact quest line.

[rancid orchid]

i disabled the stealth addon and the game still crashed during loading screen

[civic wharf]

eh, then I guess I'll just restart as Merc and save myself some hassle

[rancid orchid]

wait... does this mean i have to reinstall the mod again?? bro... i waited around 10 hours for this to finish downloading...

[swift breach]

I never managed to use the disguise system to actually interact with people from hostile factions my cover is always blown once I get close enough

[graceful iron]

you dont have to download anything a complete install checks the "downloads" folder and installs in the "mods" folder, dont delete those 2

[tidal raft]

You need to be holding appropriate weapons for the faction as well as having a fully repaired outfit.

[graceful iron]

make sure to launch the installer as admin (also make sure the installer is version 3.3 and if its not get the newest one from #📢announcements )update gamma data and complete gamma install @rancid orchid

[rancid orchid]

alright i will do update gamma and then complete gamma

[graceful iron]

it will only check the existing archives and download any missing which should only be the stealth overhaul

[rancid orchid]

alright

where can i check the installer version?

[graceful iron]

in the installer itself

[rancid orchid]

oh, bruh

didnt see it at first

ye its 3.3

[graceful iron]

make sure to follow this

[swift breach]

it was on an old regular anomaly playthrough... the outfit was 100% with the faction's patch and all my guns were holstered. Not sure if I'd still need "appropriate weapons" even if they're not on my hand

I could get pretty close but not close enough to interact with them. When I got into "talking range" they'd aggro :c

[vivid basin]

What nato traders do loners have access to ?

[graceful iron]

clear sky and freedom #│📚manual

[vivid basin]

Aight thankss

[shell magnet]

how can i go to sleep ?

im never tired

lol

?

[hoary veldt]

Take some sleeping pills

[shell magnet]

there is sleeping pils in the game ?

lol

ok

[tidal raft]

#│📚manual

[midnight iron]

Did anyone experience any problems with having unjam and ammo check binded on one keybind?

[graceful iron]

#📢announcements

[midnight iron]

I can't read, sorry..

Thanks

No, but wait I am asking for ammo check not reload

[tidal raft]

You can rebind the key in MCM > MagsRedux and try to keep them separate.

[midnight iron]

I have them separate, but will I have any crashes having them on one keybind

I know about reload and unjam, but unjam and ammo check

[grave olive]

Not sure if I should post this in bugs so I'll post it here first. Is that a skybox bug or are nights that dark?

[sullen valve]

Both my legs/right arm is heavily damaged. Is there anything early game I can do to heal them without using expensive first aid kits?

[magic reef]

Is there still a naming problem on npc?

[grave olive]

I use bandages and ibuprofen in that order

but ibuprofen isn't that cheap so maybe use yadulin instead

[sullen valve]

Unfortunately it’s temporary heal

[brisk zinc]

You're doing it right, bandages is post heal, Ibuprofen is "heal"

[sullen valve]

I heard that sleeping can help heal it

But my character isn’t tired enough

[grave olive]

You got me confused there Falco ngl

[swift breach]

you use a temporary heal item (yellow, temporary HP) then you use a post-heal item (white) to turn that temporary HP into permanent HP

[brisk zinc]

Check #│📚manual

You also have the manual in game

[swift breach]

also if you think healing items are expensive, just walk to the nearest doctor and get fully healed for less than 2k ru

if there are any available nearby of course

[grave olive]

Sleeping will take forever to heal it I reckon

One thing I've been wondering, where can I find 5.56 ammo? Nobody seems to be selling it

[halcyon sedge]

I have it too. too many with npc_stalker_123 herbert as names

[sullen valve]

Thank you

[sudden egret]

re-enable ANUS in mod organizer

[halcyon sedge]

oh, check. ok

[rancid orchid]

i am losing health in game but i dont know what item to use to counterract the negative effects

i dont want to use every healing item until i find the right thing when i can only use one(maybe)

how can you identify what is affecting your character?

[brisk zinc]

#│📚manual or in game with your PDA to learn how to heal yourself

[rancid orchid]

thank you

[brisk zinc]

Check the bottom left, you can see your arms/legs/torso/head

If your legs are "broken", running will result in losing health

[rancid orchid]

ok but for instance how can you tell when your character is bleeding

is that shown with an icon next to the arms/legs/torso/head?

[hoary veldt]

There’s a pulsing red effect on the edge of your screen

Plus your character will begin to breathe heavily

[rancid orchid]

is the pulsing red effect because of bleeding?

how many bandages does one normally need to stop that bleeding?

[hoary veldt]

Yes, you’re bleeding if there’s a red splatter pulse

Depends on how heavy the bleeding is

Can take from 1-3 bandages to stop the bleeding

[rancid orchid]

i see

thanks for letting me know

[hoary veldt]

Tourniquets are better but more expensive

[rancid orchid]

just getting started with stalker

[hoary veldt]

Chose a helluva mod pack to start with then

[rancid orchid]

well, performance is not an issue since i have a decent pc and i wanted to start with something that isnot from 2005 espeacially the graphics so ive seen some videos and heard some very good reviews about this modpack

[tall charm]

camelbacks still dont require water right?

[rancid orchid]

what pills are best to take after you use a medkit?

[tall charm]

ibuprof or yad

[tidal raft]

No.

[rancid orchid]

thanks

[tall charm]

nice

[sudden egret]

dead body dots on pda disappear on reloading save - known issue?

[rancid orchid]

what if the character is coughing like he has covid? radiation?

[swift breach]

radiation and/or low health

[regal rover]

Can u use a copied anomaly folder?

To install gamma

[tidal raft]

Only if no other add-ons have been injected into the installation.

[regal rover]

Problem is mo2 doesn't recognize the folder

[tidal raft]

What do you mean "recognise the folder"? You select the path to the Anomaly folder when MO2 is first opened.

[rancid orchid]

bro why is ibuprofen an item that you always need to have with you since its the only thing to increase your health with but its like 2000 roubles per thing....

[swift breach]

welcome to gamma

there are cheaper alternatives I think?

[grave olive]

Crafting is your friend

[hoary veldt]

Just take a Yadulin if you can’t afford it

That and energy drink or caffeine tablet clears up the dizziness

Get creative

[swift breach]

also if your faction has a medic in their base, you can pay them to heal you

it ends up being cheaper than the combined cost of heal+post heal if you have the luxury of going back to them after being wounded

[vernal bough]

Does anybody know the exact location of this stash? I'm in Freedom Base, at Warehouses. I think it might be a bug :S

[graceful iron]

its in the tunnel with the burnt fuzz anomalies

in the rubble

[rancid orchid]

i started with the mercs at a bunker, does anyone sell ammo?

[vernal bough]

OMG thx, quite a tricky stash. Had to do a lil parkour.

[graceful iron]

the yantar bunker? no

[rancid orchid]

alright

[gray galleon]

is ammo check (press a button to check your ammo in your current mag) already a thing, couldnt find it in keybinds or mcm

[graceful iron]

you will have to go north using the safe route to dead city

[graceful iron]

if you have mags redux enabled it should be in the mcm mag check tab

[gray galleon]

lemme check that, thanks

[vernal bough]

I don't know if it's a bug, but you can cross the route to dead city without getting tp'd there.

[graceful iron]

its a known bug, probably not getting fixed idk

wait?

without getting tped ?

[vernal bough]

Yes

[graceful iron]

how?

[vernal bough]

Teleported to Dead City

I don't really know, but it happened to me

[rustic halo]

Hey I just completed one of the first main military quests and got another berill suit, is it actually able to be sold anywhere or no, i've tried the traders in the base in agroprom 😮

[vernal bough]

I just went pass

[rough nebula]

is there anyway to tone down the radiation? i understand it supposed to be punishing its just a little to punishing for me...

[graceful iron]

#│📚manual you cant buy or sell armors or weapons, disassemble the suit for parts

[graceful iron]

or get a better gasmask and dont go north without a proper external rads protection and some meds. i have no idea where you would be able to change the radiation values

there is a manual in your pda as well

[rustic halo]

@rough nebula if you aren't coughing it'll go away eventually if you only got a little, always start with a respirator as well, radiation scales with how north you are

[graceful iron]

radiation damage has already been toned down if you have very little of it #📢announcements #📢development

[rustic halo]

and thanks @graceful iron

[rough nebula]

Gotchu, thank you!

[hoary veldt]

I said it once and I’ll say it again

Radioprotectant saves lives

Cheap, strong, and lasts a good while

[tidal raft]

✅

[rancid orchid]

my health is not going up

how do i know what i need to use in order to raise my health up

[grave olive]

That's where the first aid kit comes in

[rancid orchid]

bruh

i use a whole first aid for that

[tidal raft]

Any medicine with "health regeneration" in it.

[hoary veldt]

Use a medkit or a stimpack

[grave olive]

^

[hoary veldt]

Or Yadulin

Or Fentanyl

You got a lot of options, really

[rancid orchid]

alright, thanks

[tidal raft]

Also, having only lost that small amount of health is fine.

[rancid orchid]

its just so weird that everything is SO expensive

its crazy

[hoary veldt]

You wanna see expensive, play EFP

I heard prices are jacked in there

[tidal raft]

Dead Air.

[hoary veldt]

[tidal raft]

5000 RU for a bandage in Dead Air.

[hoary veldt]

Not if you constantly want assurance of one shot protection

[tidal raft]

Don't get hit.

[hoary veldt]

Shit, you’re right

[grave olive]

You're just starting out, eventually you'll craft yourself a decent armor and it'll get better. Do tons of tasks to get easy money at the beginning. Eventually you'll get stash coordinates and then prey to the rng gods that you get a basic tool kit to get you started

[hoary veldt]

Or you can kill some banditos

And get that sweet Toz-194 with buckshot to give to hip and get some guaranteed basics

[rancid orchid]

should i be worried?

a thing keeps following me

[hoary veldt]

What, that poltergeist?

[rancid orchid]

idk

[hoary veldt]

It’ll throw shit at you if there’s stuff around

And it can hurt depending on how heavy it is

[rancid orchid]

its going in circles around me

[hoary veldt]

It’s usually harmless otherwise

[rancid orchid]

alright

[hoary veldt]

If it bothers you that much just shoot it in the center

[grave olive]

Did you start as a merc?

[rancid orchid]

btw i know how to get basic tools each time

[hoary veldt]

Or just crouch walk and it’ll ignore you

[rancid orchid]

i did it a few times a soon as i started

are they important

[rancid orchid]

yeah

[grave olive]

I really, really wouldn't recommend mercs if you've never played anomaly, or just gamma

[hoary veldt]

Basics are basically the gateway to getting a good early gun

Also this

Mercs have a harder start than others and the people are always asking for top tier mutant parts

Loners in the rookie village ask for reasonable things like flesh hides or boar pelts

[bleak egret]

you are gonna be farming them later for gear too

[rancid orchid]

you take a mission with a guy fanatic in the begginning where you have to hunt boars and you dont help him and he dies and always has basic tools on him

[hoary veldt]

I won’t stop you, just know you’re basically going snorkeling without the snorkeling gear

[rancid orchid]

bruh, idk
