[rancid orchid]

ill restart as a loner i suppose

[grave olive]

Loner or clear skies

[hoary veldt]

Hey, if you can handle the challenge, go for it

[rancid orchid]

should i bring a bigger gun with me or a pistol will do?

[hoary veldt]

I just figure that since you’re new to stalker overall, it would behoove you to start as one of the easier factions

A pistol can keep you through the early game well enough

[rancid orchid]

ayt

[grave olive]

I like the idea of the mercs too, but yeah starting in dead city is a huge oof

[hoary veldt]

The faction trader usually sells AP ammo for your pistol straight away

And you can use it to some bandits and other hostile dudes

[rancid orchid]

ap ammo deals low flesh damage tho, isnt that bad for shooting monsters?

[hoary veldt]

Unless he’s wearing an exo or radsuit, in which case there’s no shame in running away

That’s where HP ammo comes in

Swap ammo according to the enemy

[grave olive]

Find yourself a shotgun with buckshots that's what I do

[rancid orchid]

whats the button to change ammo type?

[grave olive]

hold Y

[rancid orchid]

ayt

since i am starting a new save might as well go on a rampage and kill whatever moves, lel

[grave olive]

I mean, you still should just kill whoever is against your faction lol

[rancid orchid]

bruh

i just got shit on

xddd

[hoary veldt]

I mean all you really have against you as a Loner are bandits, military and the usual suspects

[rancid orchid]

i held the trigger on point black at the head and still failed

smh

haha

[hoary veldt]

Should have doubled down

[rancid orchid]

i had an smg

[hoary veldt]

Were you loaded with AP?

[rancid orchid]

yes

[hoary veldt]

And did you have a shitty barrel?

[rancid orchid]

i had brand new equipment since i just started

[hoary veldt]

[rancid orchid]

maybe because i am playing on easy?

[hoary veldt]

No, easy shouldn’t make the enemies tougher

[rancid orchid]

i heard they get more hp or smth when you play on easy

[hoary veldt]

That’s on the base games

This isn’t the base game

[rancid orchid]

i see, i played some normal stalker when i was younger but forgot most of it

[hoary veldt]

Anyways, yeah just stick to AP ammo and doming heads when you can and swap to HP when you need it

[rancid orchid]

ayt

[hoary veldt]

If you’re out of AP, FMJ will work

Just don’t expect the same quick results as AP

[grave olive]

supply level 3 and I still can't buy 5.56

[hoary veldt]

Which trader?

[grave olive]

Oh it matters? Loris in cordon

[hoary veldt]

Bruh

#│📚manual message

Here I go

It’s coming

#│📚manual

[grave olive]

Fml.

I had read this too, but didn't figure out the whole NATO thing. And then I just went in my stash and read the description of 5.56

[hoary veldt]

You want 556 go talk to the Swampers and put in some work

[dusty basalt]

yo why is the emergency armor repair set just 2 rolls of duct tape?

[hoary veldt]

It’s in the name

Emergency armor repair set

[grave olive]

Off to the great swamps

[north turret]

so a question about the BAS mod, i remember in the older builds that the animation of some of the guns were different, can you change them editing a certain code line or something?

[vernal bough]

Does anybody know how to complete a task with a console command? And where to find the missions ID?

Thanks in advance

[small breach]

so about tool kits. out of curiosity is it still a good idea to do the technician missions for them and dose it affect how they repair your weapons? (like basic repairs a certain amount and the other higher?)

[sudden egret]

it affects their stock

pays pretty well too

[grave olive]

I'd recommend to keep one of each before giving it away but it does affect what they have

[small breach]

ah gotcha

fortunately i have 2 basic ones on me from my 1st stash pick up ill give one and keep the other

[little needle]

Dumb question, is fast travel not enabled by default?

[hoary veldt]

It is, just limited by the limit fast travel mod

[rancid orchid]

any good?

[little needle]

Ok thanks. I remember someone saying to look for green houses on the map, but I didn't see any. Is there a trick to activating it?

[hoary veldt]

Decent shotgun, slow ass reload though

At least you can interrupt it

[rancid orchid]

nice

[idle beacon]

So I disabled the Weapon Parts Overhaul mod that is included in GAMMA. Was it intentional for it to break reloading completely?

[hoary veldt]

Have you visited the spots yet?

[rancid orchid]

i spawned in the duty base and they got attacked by a cople dogs and one of the guards died lmao

[hoary veldt]

Is your gun jammed?

[warped ginkgo]

[hoary veldt]

Yeah, that sounds like doody alright

[little needle]

I guess I'm not really sure what the spots are. Is rostok one?

[hoary veldt]

Kinda hard to see but those are the spots

[little needle]

Ohh the bed?

[grave olive]

The green little houses

[hoary veldt]

Err, well, no

It's the green really hard to see houses

Someone should just make them obnoxiously purple or something

[little needle]

Holy shit

That is hard

Ok I did the where's waldo

Thanks!

This mod makes me feel like such an idiot

[grave olive]

We've all been that guy, I'm still that guy even

Great mod though

[vernal bough]

Anyone?

[graceful iron]

#│🔧troubleshooting

[grim grotto]

hey guys,I was wondering,will warfare be fixed in near future maybe? I know it's buged as hell,I was trying to play it and it's almost unplayable so was wondering will there be any fix for it?

[graceful iron]

gamma is not intended for warfare as far as i know

not sure if grok plans to do something with it after release

[grim grotto]

it would be great to play warfare with all those mods

these*

I hope he will manage to do something about it too 🙂

[graceful iron]

i wouldnt count on it, gamma is clearly focused on story mode

[heady field]

Hey. Do inspecting weapons on demand have been turned off?

[tall charm]

i thought just having the gunkit allowed you to disassemble bullets into mats?

least i remember i could, if my memory serves me right

[stoic moth]

Probably only works with old bullets. I think those are turned off in gamma

[tall charm]

hmm

[bleak egret]

Need disassembly tools, no gunkit needed for that. Gunkit is needed to turn parts INTO bullets.

[tall charm]

mmm seems it was changed then

[graceful canyon]

10/01/2022

Crash because of shaders compilation

Delete Anomaly/appdata/shaders_cache folder.
why does this not work for me?

[tall charm]

back then essentially, the gunkit would scrap any amount of bullets with infinite usage

guess that was broken?

eh

[graceful canyon]

I followed the steps for framerate optimization and after that my game started saying shader compilation failed whether I try to make a new game or load a save

I dont know if this is a crash log, but the last few lines of my logs txt is this:

[tall charm]

yea

somewhere along the line it got changed

it seems

[dusty basalt]

Used to be able to manually do the weapon examination on command by spanking the F key before the update. Post update, it doesn't do it anymore. Anyone know how I can get it back? I like to have the animations perform when I check my ammo, but there's no obvious keybind for it.

[regal rover]

is it common for the installer to get stuck?

[brisk zinc]

It can take a while to download and install everything

[regal rover]

oh ok

[brisk zinc]

It also depends on your connection and if you're installing everything on HDD

If it's stuck on instructions solving, look in #│🔧troubleshooting

[graceful canyon]

falco if u have any information regarding my problem id be grateful man

[brisk zinc]

Try to delete shaders_cache folder

[tall charm]

oi falco

when was the gunkit changed?

probably some time ago

[dusty basalt]

mans just answered his own question

[brisk zinc]

What do you mean "changed"?

[tall charm]

haha i said probably i have no idea when

Back then you used to be able to use the kit as an infinite use dissasembler for ammo

which is why you usually carried it along you to cut down ammo weight from looted bodies

[regal rover]

thanks

[graceful canyon]

i did many times still no luck, deleted user_ltx, ticked delete shader cache in the launcher none of those worked

[brisk zinc]

IIRC "disassemble ammo" was always present

[brisk zinc]

Next time say the problem directly or send a screenshot

[tall charm]

is it the same as "bulk" assemble?

[brisk zinc]

You need to delete the folder manually, not from the launcher

[graceful canyon]

i did sir

did not work, what am i doing wrong I dont know

[brisk zinc]

What are you trying to do exactly?

[brisk zinc]

Rephrase your question, I'm not following you

That toolkit has always been used for creating ammo, not disassemble them, at least from what I know

[graceful canyon]

i disabled the shader addons as told by the framerate optimization steps, after that I began to get shader compilation failed error

[tall charm]

hol up ill get some pics

[brisk zinc]

What shader addons exactly? I need names

[graceful canyon]

agressor, screen space shaders, enhanced shaders, r3zy detectors shaders, dynamic tonemapping

[brisk zinc]

On which step did you get stuck?

[graceful canyon]

8. boot the game, load your save.

let alone load save I cant even start a new game

during the loading I get the error

[brisk zinc]

Send the crash log

The whole file

[graceful canyon]

can I dm idk whats in the file I dont want to dox myself

[tall charm]

what is the difference between batch dissasemble and dissasemble?

[brisk zinc]

Batch = (should be) all of them, like you have 100, you will disassemble 100

Disassemble = some of them

[tall charm]

understandable

[brisk zinc]

@graceful canyon send me your mod list

[tall charm]

also i figured it out, back in RC1 you could dissasemble ammo for "free" I.E you did not need a multitool, grooming kit etc, to scrap ammo. As long as you had the gunkit that allowed you to scrap ammo infinitly without durrability loss.

I was testing around and it seems you now do need some sort of dissasembly tool, but now having a multitool seems to be the way to go, I scrap thousands of rounds as a test and it hardly makes a dent in the durability of the multitool

[stoic moth]

What tool gets used up when you disassemble? Multitool?

[tall charm]

so it seems the meta was shifted to using the multitool over having an infinite use gunkit

[graceful canyon]

i did some of the steps over and over and over and somehow it worked this time. thank you for the help anyway

I will try to enjoy the game now for an hour at least without any crash or something I hope

[tall charm]

probably grok will be the only one who remembers the change but yea it was a definite big change

[brisk zinc]

Good to know

[brisk zinc]

Grooming Kit -> Swiss Knife -> Multitool
From worst to good, the Multitool is the best

[tall charm]

guess it was slightly broken but the way it is now is fine as well

mm yea

[brisk zinc]

I don't know if disassembling ammo consume something though

Never noticed it

[tall charm]

it consumes durrability

or"charges" of the dissasembly item

[brazen vessel]

Does anyone know how to recharge the artefact melter

[tidal raft]

When disassembling, the engine uses the Multitool first and foremost if you have one. It uses up about 2-3% per disassembly.
Ammunition uses much less durability.

[brisk zinc]

#│📚manual or in-game manual

[hoary veldt]

Drag-

[brisk zinc]

You recharge it with artefacts

[hoary veldt]

Oh

[tall charm]

thats why artifacts are so common tho

so it aint a issue really

[hoary veldt]

[tall charm]

a throwback to old stalker where you could literally trip over artifacts

there was so much of em

[plucky narwhal]

Hmmm. I'm in the clear sky base and I'm trying to use the West exit. But every time i approach the fence gate, my screen fades to black, and I don't go anywhere. My screen reappears and I'm still here.

[plush pewter]

I have a gun, if has a pso scope and an RMR attached at a 45 degree angle, what button is the keybind to flip between them

[swift breach]

V key to swap sights #│💻keybinds-in-gamma message
check this link for the keymap

[plush pewter]

if I have V keybound to something else it won't work?

[graceful iron]

save/load

[graceful iron]

use the same button you are using for the under barrel GL to switch between sights

[plucky narwhal]

I got killed, reloaded, then restarted and tried again and it worked 😄

[plush pewter]

OMG THANKYOU

this is so sick

[tall charm]

Are the L96 and the SV98 bugged with their zoomed?

like i can zoom in

but not out

[bleak egret]

I looked into it for you. Theres like a bunch of mods affected by removing WPO. WPO is kinda core to GAMMA. Im unsure what in it has anything to do with QOL, but you needa keep it for GAMMA.

[idle beacon]

I thought so too but I checked the conflicts page and I'm currently testing things to see whether I can disable it myself.

Maybe you'll end up being right so I'll most likely delete my question once I'm done.

[tall charm]

oh wait lmao i think i figured it out

do we still have that weird "zoom" addon on this modlist

maybe thats why its double zooming in for me

[graceful iron]

the zoom addon does not affect scopes

[tall charm]

odd

[graceful iron]

last time i checked those 2 guns they can zoom in and out just fine using the scroll wheel

[tall charm]

for some reason pressing the V button which is usually for the different sights swapping causes everything to zoom in on scoped rifles

odd

i must do further testing to figure out whats goin on

[graceful iron]

i have seen that before, not sure what causes it

[tall charm]

mmm ill see if reloading does anything

if not those guns may be borked lmao

[plush pewter]

what's the keybind to use flashlights/lasers on guns?

[graceful iron]

flashlights are just models, but you can turn on the laser by holding L #│💻keybinds-in-gamma

[tall charm]

Aye it seems using V during any of the scope weapons mode permanently turns them super scoped in

With no way back

Even on reloads, placing it in staches, picking it up etc

Didn’t try disassembling the guns but not sure even then it would work

[brisk zinc]

@tall charm

Try with free zoom

[tall charm]

Is that the one with subtract plus shift?

[graceful iron]

the keybind for it should be in the mcm

[tall charm]

Ah well either way don’t worry bout it I just reloaded to another save I’ll just not press v and use scroll wheel and we’re good

[plucky narwhal]

Anyone know where the archianomily is in great swamp? I'm not sure what they mean by it. I went looking around in the southwest but only found the bog pounder

[graceful iron]

see #╭📖faq

it is the bog pounder, just a different name

[plucky narwhal]

Okay yeah, i searched for Scanner and found people talking about the same thing.

[haughty token]

There should be a map marker for it tbh

[rocky bone]

where are the documents in x18 for unisg? the documents in the final trigger do not finish the investigate task when picked up

is there somewhere i can see all the mods used

hope im not dumb for asking lol

[brisk zinc]

#❗welcome

[gray galleon]

im dumb lmao

[graceful iron]

this is actually nice and fits the discussion but its really in the wrong channel, especially when its a support channel

True, I'll nix it

Do you prefer Military kits or Science? And, do you still pop Yadulin or have a better choice for overall body post heals?

Military Medkits all the way. Cheap to make and stops bleeding as well

I use Fentanyl later on if the wounds aren't serious, but it doesn't stop the good old Yadulin + Energy Drink combo

thanks @plush wharf I don't tend to play a character long enough to get ten million, so I wanted to make it a little more balanced for the way I play I guess

[plush wharf]

I don't blame you, I just left it at 10mil and I pretend it doesnt exist since there's no way Im getting that much money on ironman

[pastel barn]

Honestly though, the way I look at it is someone could just save scum at blackjack and get to ten mil eventually

Set max bet to 10k and go from there

[brisk zinc]

Don't worry about it, GAMMA is modular and the experience isn't the same for everyone, it's intended, you can do whatever you want

@brisk zinc Thanks :] I'm just super glad I got some assistance with it. Great community here

[brisk zinc]

Always happy to receive this kind of feedback

[visual flicker]

I am trying to tweak disguise options, but I am not sure how factors work. I want to increase the time it takes npc to consider me suspicious (trying UNISG playthrough), but I am not sure if I need to increase or lower outfit factor?

[serene cedar]

For time to notice, a higher number means easier for you to go unnoticed.

[visual flicker]

So if I want to maximize time till being noticed while disgusied I just move the slider all the way to the right, right? 🙂

[desert robin]

Guys has anyone elses game just locked up? 3 times today.

It locks up or freezes then goes to a black screen, then you cant even alt-tab or anything, like you can switch between windows but you cant force close the game and its stuck on a black screen

Only started happening when i updated today. The last updated i had was the hitbox update, so something between there and now may be causing it. But it could just be me. Just posting for point of reference

[serene cedar]

As I remember, that does make the number higher, towards the right.

[graceful iron]

you are easier to be found out if you move the sliders to the right and the opposite is correct

[serene cedar]

Thanks for the correction!

[thin wagon]

i wanna get rid of the mod that only allows me to save at campfires and camps

Is it possible to make a “Disassemble” hotkey? Like you hover over the item you want to disassemble and press it instead of having to right click and stuff

Would be a decent QoL in my view

[north turret]

is there anyway to disable the time limit for Fast travel? which mod is that? im fine with the roubles needed to pay for it tho.

[serene cedar]

Under the list of mods, you can see a filter area. Type 'travel' and it is called GAMMA Fast Travel Limiter Balance

how to make the magazines addon work with gamma? i have it enabled but the gun just loads rounds directly instead of the magazine.

[serene cedar]

In the upper right of Discord, you can do a search for that. It has been asked and answered a few times before. And, it may have an answer in the troubleshooting and/or faq discussions.

[next rune]

aight thnx

[mystic finch]

so I'm meant to sleep 48 hours to fix a bug I have but gamma limits your sleep sometimes even waking you up early so what would be the best way to sleep 48 hours as I would have no idea if I had done it or not

[graceful iron]

sleeping pills/sleeping bag/bed spread

[brisk zinc]

Sleeping bag + bed spread, can't go wrong with those two

[jagged lance]

werent artifacts obtained from tasks supposed to be given in containers or was that just the merc lottery

[graceful iron]

the merc lottery

[mystic finch]

would going into god mode be the best way as sleeping 48 hours would be a lot of eating and drinking

[brisk zinc]

God Mode prevent any kind of things to go down
You can use debug mode to give you some sleeping pills, though

[graceful iron]

you are trying to debug, just use the debug menu

[mystic finch]

so I have to sleep the 48 hours out of god mode?

[brisk zinc]

Yes, out of God Mode

[mystic finch]

ok will do thanks

[brisk zinc]

In debug mode there's also a sleep function

You can try that as well, I don't know if it works as well

@graceful iron what?

It's true

[graceful iron]

nothing

[brisk zinc]

If you use a medkit (example) in God Mode, your health doesn't go up

I've tried, that's why I know

[desert robin]

I have a strong suspicion it's 'Dynamic Music' being enabled.

Does anyone randomly lose items? Ive lost a couple of things and just found an armor toolkit was on the ground outside of my stash when i was shift-transferring..

[graceful iron]

shift to drop most likely

apparently it has a delay of some sort, you can change the key in the mcm

If I change factions during playthrough, does storyline missions become available?

ie. I go UNISG for start, switch to merc mid-playthrough?

[jagged lance]

[north turret]

any idea why my scope zoom is like this? any help?

thats a PU Scope for the SKS

when i first launched the game it was like the zoom level is equal to no scope. now its like zoom out

[serene cedar]

Turn the scope around on your gun.

Check your FOV hud and normal hud settings. Reset them if necessary. FOV good one is about 50 and hud good one is near 80, up to you.

is 240- Anomaly's Name Update for Stalkers ANUS - Grulag unticked for a reason?

[clear granite]

Hello, I discovered GAMMA while setting up Anomaly and I must say its amazing in its scope and conveinence

However I also want to try Warfare and noticed that its unstable with lack of support. Is Warfare more or less stable with GAMMA compared to vanilla Anomaly ?

[willow hawk]

Well GAMMA is less stable than vanilla Anomaly that's for sure

so Warfare in GAMMA will be even worse

you can try it, but expect bugs

if it's your first time playing GAMMA, try it without Warfare

there's already a lot to do without having to tinker with smart terrains capture

[clear granite]

Okay, thanks for fast response

[untold forge]

Do important characters from enemy faction matter ? For example im playing as clear sky and happened to attack military base in cordon. What happens if i kill everyone in the base ?

[graceful iron]

nothing, they are not important unless you plan on disguising as someone neutral to them to trade or do missions

[untold forge]

Ah so, thanks

[sudden egret]

Detach and reattach the scope. This used to happen with the ip29 on the an94 for me

[charred glen]

not sure if it's a "bug" but the with the aps (loner start), you can buy a aps supressor, but it doesn't fit with the one you have, neither when you upgrade your aps with the kit available at lvl1 trader...
Could be nice to supress that little thingy

[arctic echo]

is it normal to have like 10 fps in the Army whorehouses and 80 everywhere else??

[graceful iron]

some maps are worse than others but that seems like a way too big gap in FPS, there could be a large fight going on or a lot of npcs in the same place

[arctic echo]

yea i figured i'll try not to play warfare mod

xD

[jagged lance]

thats the issue mate

[graceful iron]

i mean its not like we have a big warning that warfare is unstable and has issues #old-how-to

there is another transition from garbage to cordon to the west

[rancid orchid]

ayt

[graceful iron]

its a tunnel, you can find it on your pda map

[rancid orchid]

i found it

[willow hawk]

Not yet

[willow hawk]

Use HP ammo against mutants

[jagged lance]

hes not gonna do much to a chimera with an aps though

[graceful iron]

its do-able but no reason to go after it early game

[rancid orchid]

bruh

i was going towards the rookie village and some bandits were sitting in a bush and oneshotted me with a sawed-off shotgun

:(

[graceful iron]

btw this is the #🔨base-gamma-support channel, go to #╓☢stalker-chat to post about your adventures

[rancid orchid]

ah, of course

[jagged lance]

theres an add-on in #🖇old-mods-posting that makes bushes a bit easier to see through by taking away the leaves

made by grulag

[ebon coral]

Why do I have "demo" watermark on the bottom-right of your screen?

[ornate salmon]

godmode is enabled

[ebon coral]

Wait so this whole time my game was in god mode

no wonder I survive a lot for some reason

[split rune]

can anyone help me with this task pls? dont know where to look anymore ^^

[willow hawk]

Wild Territory, the building closed by wooden planks that is on your left after the sniper nest when coming from Rostok

[visual flicker]

@willow hawk I noticed that some shops that used to sell FMJ and HP versions of ammo (ie. 9x18) now only sell AP. Is this intentional? I don't see improvement with goodwill and I am pretty sure it used to be different a week back.

I should've also specified that I checked Loners shops in this respect only.

[willow hawk]

Be sure to restock NPCs inventory

[visual flicker]

Its a fresh save

If that matters...

[willow hawk]

which traders

Sid ?

what's your Supply Lv ? (displayed on the merchant side in trading inventory)

[jagged lance]

they were selling all ammo for me when i played earlier

[visual flicker]

Lorie and Sidorovich, supply lvl 1. I restocked via debug both a couple of times but I get 9x18 AP only. also 5.45x39 was also AP only

There is variety of HP, AP and FMJ ammo for other calibres, but I noticed these two are only AP for those traders

I noticed this change on my previous playthrough, but I bought out FMJ and HP supply of both and I thought they simply stopped restocking those. I got to supp lvl 4 with Loners back then.

Also, is there any way of fixing field cooking kit?

[jagged lance]

what do you mean

adding uses?

[visual flicker]

Yup

[jagged lance]

there isnt

you can merge them together though

[visual flicker]

phew. I didn't know that I can fix grooming kit with sharpening set and I thought there might be more things that I can add uses to with other items

[abstract void]

Get a multi fuel stove.

Then there's no need to fix one.

[jagged lance]

cant cook on fires with a multifuel though

[visual flicker]

^

[jagged lance]

have to use gas

[abstract void]

I only cook purified meals and those need liquid fuel. It's better for you.

Kerosene isn't that expensive.

[chilly saddle]

Any ideas where's the supply in dead city?

[charred glen]

if I shoot my companion by accident, will I lose rep with its faction ?

[brisk zinc]

If you just shoot him that should be okay

Maybe if you kill him

[chilly saddle]

@brisk zinc Is this stash glitched?

[charred glen]

I just killed 3 renegades in the swamp while being disguised in renegade... A message poped up saying my reputation worsened -> shouldn't it improve when I kill renegades ? Or is it because I was disguised ? 🤔

[chilly saddle]

What's your faction?

[dusty flax]

@chilly saddle its in the sewers, the entrance is under the stairs in the merc base

[chilly saddle]

Thanks a lot 🙏

I spent 10 mins looking for that goddamn stash

[dusty flax]

me too yesterday

[novel dune]

Sooo, we got a lot of updates in the last few days so I just want to check some things before I perform a complete install. 1) If we use magazines redux, we need to disable "reload and unjam with the same key" addon? 2) If we don't want dead looking zone we need to disable "Simple Autumn Retexture No leaves", "Prime
Gardener of the Zone Textures" and "Simpler Autumn Retextures bushes" - correct? Anything else?

[dusty flax]

fell in the sewer by accident and found it

[brisk zinc]

1. yes, from what I understand, check in #📢announcements
2. I'm not sure about it but it should be like that

[novel dune]

yeah, I did check #📢announcements, I check them daily, same as #📢development and #📎to-do I just wanted to check if I missed something

[charred glen]

Loner !

[chilly saddle]

That's weird 🤔

[charred glen]

Yeah, last thing, I killed them with the help of a red explosive barrel, so I didn't actually shoot at them directly... who knows..

[snow rune]

Is it normal that on the start of the playthrough maps like cordon or garbage are low populated? Dont know if I should change the value of population factor or npcs and animals will spawn more after some time.

[novel dune]

Later on more will spawn.

and if after a while you won't be happy, you can change the values

[severe shadow]

What issues could I get into using Mags Redux in Gamma? Balance stuff or game breaking bugs?

[brisk zinc]

#╭📖faq message

Apart from this, you're good to go

[sudden egret]

it does mess with the balance as you get a lot more ammo

[brisk zinc]

Also this, yes

[unique mural]

i have maximum goodwill with free stalkers is it normal for nimble in skadovsk to be supply level 1? also the mechanic spleen wont take tools for some reason does anyone know how to fix this or is this normal

[charred glen]

do you get an advantage when disassembling with a multi tool compared to field strip ?

[torn sonnet]

i don't suppose there is a good fix for certain scopes on an ultrawide monitor, right?

ope should have googled

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/bs-2d-scopes-ultrawide-219-fix

maybe this would do it

[sudden egret]

disassembling removes barrel

however, it wears down the multitool. on the other hand, you can't field strip from the looting screen so i wind up disassembling a lot anyway. also it's fewer clicks

[ancient ruin]

will they still shoot at me even if im ecologist?

[torn sonnet]

haha holy shit

[tidal raft]

You have to kill the Duty soldiers who aren't carrying an SVD for the mole to join you.

[clever trail]

For those who just can't get enough of the title screen

[clever trail]

Try these steps, if that mod update doesn't work:
#╭📖faq message

[torn sonnet]

bless u

thanks so much

that did indeed fix it but this seems like the Way You're Supposed To Do It so

[thick pawn]

So has anyone got a solution for entering a new level and getting instantly killed by 3 giant mutants (cant remember what they are called)? i didnt even have a chance to realise what happened i was killed in 2 hits the moment i touched a key when entering agroprom. this is actually really common and happens to me alot i get instantly murdered by either a group of bandits or military that just point blank kill me or mutants that end my existence. it makes me seriously put off of even thinking about trying an ironman playthrough because of absolute unavoidable bullshit like this. i did nothing wrong all i did was enter the level of agroprom and instantly face to face and killed. is this some sort of bug that is recognised or have i got a wrong setting? because this is some fucking bullshit. the game is really having a laugh when it does stuff like this.

@willow hawk

[clever trail]

Check the binoculars, someone else said the mod fixed scopes but made the bino's look goofy

[dense nymph]

So i wanted to ask, if it's actually worth playing as Bandit and if yes what does it have to offer ?

[tidal raft]

Nothing in terms of storyline tasks, except Dr.X.

[dense nymph]

hmm

unfortunate

[civic wharf]

Am I just bad at the game or should I really not be doing artifact fetch quests until I have better than starter armor? Especially the ones needed for artifact hunter seem to have such bullshit placement that I get heavily damaged getting them no matter what I do

[inland delta]

why do saves not work after mod update and can i fix tham?

them*

[brisk zinc]

#╭📖faq message
Could be one reason

[brisk zinc]

Get better armor/get better protection/both before doing artefacts hunting

[willow hawk]

#╭📖faq

[unique mural]

I cant give tools to the mechanic in skadovsk is this normal?

[vague moss]

yes Spleen the goat he dont need tools to upgrade your stuff fully

[cloud zephyr]

I really don't like the fact that you can only quicksave around fires, how do I disable it so I can quicksave everywhere?

[vague moss]

turn off campfire saves in mcm

[ebon geyser]

Greetings. Wanted to ask is it possible to add my favourite mod called dynamic mutants to this pack ?

[quiet willow]

There was a whole conversation about in #old-feedback-suggestions

The mod self tho, not about adding it or not.

[ebon geyser]

Thank you. After wtiting this I checked feedback

[cloud zephyr]

Thanks!

[tidal raft]

Some mechanics can't accept tools. Vanilla issue.

[unique mural]

thanks guys

[spice cypress]

Any ideas on how I can get this https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/loststalkerzone to work?
The AI tweaks are in the pack, but I'd like to remix the maps

[charred glen]

Hi, this is in the pinned section of #old-suggest , should I use it, or is it included in gamma already ?
thank you 🙂
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/jsrs-lite-patch-for-performance/#8292505

[cloud zephyr]

I found an encrypted pda in the swamps, should I sell it?

[brisk zinc]

You can take it to traders

It's better to unlock it before

Go to every technician, they will unlock them for you (if you pay)

[main sphinx]

where are screen shots saved

found it

[willow hawk]

AI tweaks are already in gamma

[clever trail]

Is there any "end" to the RF packages that you receive via messages from Anonymous?

I'm getting some decent shit from them, but just curious if they are essentially never-ending, randomized fetch tasks, or if there is some big payout when you find them all.

[civic wharf]

Is there a setting to prevent groups of 3+ geared enemies spawning at the location where I just woke up?

[brisk zinc]

Where did you sleep?

[civic wharf]

Garbage train yard, I'm a Merc

[quiet willow]

[brisk zinc]

Well I mean

Kinda asking for it

[ornate salmon]

[brisk zinc]

A Merc inside enemy territory

Literally asking for it

"Enemies spawned in their base, how can I prevent this?"

[quiet willow]

Afaik Duty also likes to camp there from time to time

[civic wharf]

well it was a group of Duties that spawned on me

[ornate salmon]

yeah

theyre around that place

the train yard is full of loners and dutiers

[civic wharf]

cool, reloading to try to get to the bandit camp in pitch blackness because I don't have a headlamp or a glowstick

[visual flicker]

The way this game is meant to be played 🙂

Run and knife spam

[civic wharf]

well my gameplay so far has been like spend 8 minutes playing then 3 reloading then repeat
and I thought default Anomaly start was hard

seems that early game if you spend more than 5 rounds on a single enemy the knife starts to look like the only option

[quiet willow]

The start is usually just learning what goes for what, and since you're a Merc you have more enemies and you gotta remember that Gamma uses a BR system where you have to learn which enemies you have to use FMJ and which enemies you have to use AP for.

[ancient ruin]

What are the dogs that keep teleporting when we i shoot them? there is like 15 of them in cordon and they keep eating my friend.

[quiet willow]

The.. shadowy ones?

[ancient ruin]

no they look normal

[quiet willow]

Are they just not normal dogs?

Screenshot maybe

[ancient ruin]

i cant but they look normal and when we do any damage to them they just disapear and teleport a few meters behind

[civic wharf]

I get the Tarkov-like ammo type system, I mainly have issues with which fights to pick - found out that "probably none" is the answer because everything travels in groups

[warped ginkgo]

it won't be compatible

[willow hawk]

Beginning as merc is tough

it's the hardest faction

[warped ginkgo]

bc you need to modify npcs paths to other maps or something like that

[quiet willow]

I'd say, since you're a starter Merc you should head to that train depo area where fellow mercs are

[warped ginkgo]

at least last time i tried it with warfare mode, all npc are stuck on a level switch border and they can't travel bc something broke, in the console spamming, and there were like 50 bandits camping north of garbage

[quiet willow]

Try and then pull enemies to them and maybe you can get enemy and faction based loot

[civic wharf]

which depo? Wild Territory? Garbage?

[quiet willow]

Train

[charred glen]

could there be a possible patch/way so that stamina slowly increase when walking, instead of needing to stand still ?

[quiet willow]

Oh yea

Wild territory

Maybe remembered a stash or something with train depo on it, sorry.

[small breach]

Out of curiosity what tool do you need to disassemble weapons?

[charred glen]

multitool, available from mechanics

[fresh merlin]

so early on the only way to heal is via medicine as sleep is difficult and sleeping pills are expensive? How do you get enough medicine to survive fights?

[north turret]

this is just a quick yes or no question, am i supposed to have two "[recentDirectories]" lines like such? (when following the steps to disable core 0) ((i also just noticed i didnt replace the slashes so i fixed that as well))

[brisk zinc]

No

Follow the guide in #╭📖faq

It's well written ()

[north turret]

thanks, i had been following the one in #old-framerate-optimisation so its probably a bit outdated

[small breach]

Ty my fellow stalker

[brisk zinc]

It should be the same one but yes, the one I wrote in #╭📖faq is a little bit more updated but nothing big

[quiet willow]

Remember to repair it with 3 piece sharpening kits

[north turret]

How rare are the expert tools? Already disabled brain scorcher, wish granter, became the 1# stalker in the zone but didn't find any expert tools. Are they that rare or am I just unlucky? Also, is it worth it to buy stash locations from traders? I haven't gotten any purple stash, are they just that rare or maybe they can only be found through traders?

[thin wagon]

what mod disables the mini map

[plush pewter]

You can turn it off in normal settings bigballer

[thin wagon]

oh

my b ive barely played anomaly just shoc and cs

[sudden egret]

I honestly found default anomaly harder. maybe because I played it first though

[brisk zinc]

Could be you being unlucky because they are quite rare, yes

It's worth to buy stashes from traders, yes especially if you want those expert tools

Buy them from traders in north

Expert tools can only be found inside Red Forest and north from there

Below Red Forest going south you can only find Basic and Advanced

You don't find purple stashes because the only two colors in the game are white and green

White: basic stashes
Green: a toolkit should be guaranteed IIRC, the more north you go, the more the chances you have to find expert tools

[north turret]

Oh, that would explain everything as I have been just doing quests and labs in the southern Zone. I have a few green stashes in Red Forest still, time to finally check them out

[brisk zinc]

Yes, go there

And try to get more quests in the northern part of the Zone

There's a high chance that you'll get coordinates for northern stashes

[soft leaf]

who sells stashes up north?

i thought only spore and sid sold them

[north turret]

Good to know, I was just about to go north anyway as I did most of the quests in the south, but wanted to get some better gear first so I kept looking for those expert tools. Thanks

[civic wharf]

aaaaand four Loners spawn right inside the Eco bunker as I'm handing in my first set of tools to finally repair my guns and gun me down every time
fuck this, I'm restarting as Loner

game good but me bad, I'm not spending my early game reloading seven times every fight until I can perfectly headshot all three-four guys

[sour sparrow]

You need to up your stamina recovery. Travel light, level up Strength and Endurance, and use items and belt attachments that up stamina recovery, caffeine tablets, energy drinks etc.

[quaint quarry]

What mod is allowing you/us to chop any mutant no matter what knife/axe/sword you're carrying?

[willow hawk]

Yes Merc runs are tough I told you. It's for hardened players. There's NO WHERE safe

Disguise is part of the Merc life. Just like ISG

[novel dune]

where is the addon for "same reload and unjam button" located in MO2, under which section?

[novel dune]

gamma fixes, got it

[icy nebula]

Damn how to get my hands on expert tools ? Even stashes in the northern parts of the Zone are only yielding Advanced tools at best....

[brisk zinc]

Scroll a little bit above

I answered that question

[icy nebula]

ok cool will try to find it

[grave olive]

Is there a way to bypass the level transition border? I got an npc stuck beyond it that I need to kill but I can't reach him

[rare sluice]

Is there a max number of stashes that can be displayed/active at once?

[civic wharf]

lesson learned

[rare sluice]

Do quests north of red forest, open stashes north of red forest, and pray is the answer

[novel dune]

I can't find "Simpler Autumn Retextures BUSHES" in MO2. I've found "Simpler Autumn Retexture no leaves" under "newly added addons"

[maiden nexus]

Are there any downsides to using a suppressor?

[tidal raft]

Barrel degrades faster when you go full-auto.

[novel dune]

that is why you go "tap-tap-tap-tap"

[novel dune]

is it "Grulag's dead bushes"? 🤔

[charred glen]

just to be sure I'm not doing smthing stupid, If I've found advanced tools, then I can give the basic ones to a technician, and I still will be able to craft all my stuff right ?

[brisk zinc]

No

You always need Basic Tools with you when you need to craft something

Unfortunately it doesn't work like that

I mean, yes, advanced Tools basically is an upgrade of Basic Tools

But in order to craft stuff that uses basic tools... you still need basic tools

So, for example, if you want to craft something that needs Basic Tools in the recipe, you can open your workbench with the advance tools

But you still need basic tools in order to craft that specific thing

[charred glen]

Sad ^

thank you 🙂

[brisk zinc]

Yeah... I know

[viral stone]

are you supposed to be Immortal when "Stacking" Carbon Plates?

No plate

3 Plates

[brisk zinc]

[viral stone]

i think it is logarithmic and exponential

I DO NOT THINK This is intened

[tidal raft]

Well, even with all that BR you are still going to take a bunch of damage from your lack of impact resistance.

[viral stone]

this is just a light armour

i can imagine it to be broken on Many "Medium" armours

[tidal raft]

It's probably not intended, but as I said—without decent impact resistance you'll take a bunch of damage.

[verbal flower]

I'm getting error on starting game like on screen, someone will be able to help?

[brisk zinc]

Check this mod

Right click on it, open in explorer

Check if this is the right weight

[summer breach]

kill mutant/npc tasks are completed after loading a save. and also I had two bandits not far from campfire, when I loaded - they were gone.

[ancient ruin]

found 2 mercs dying on the ground right where i spawned. Is there any reason not to stab them both? Im ecologist

[hoary veldt]

Do you have morals and/or care about your reputation?

If you answered no to either of those then you should start envisioning the two of them as 2 ready to be opened loot bags

[ancient ruin]

it wont affect my rep to the point i will be shot on sight?

[hoary veldt]

It might drop your rep down level depending on how new you are

Also any other mercs in the map will likely become hostile to you

So

Up to you to weigh free loot vs potential enemies

Your rep shouldn't get people to randomly shoot at you yet but I wouldn't know myself

[ancient ruin]

misclick i guess

[hoary veldt]

[ancient ruin]

worth, they were kinda juiced

[visual flicker]

There is an optional and experimental stealth kills mechanic. You can turn it on in options

Frankly, it is very cool unless you plan to cheese it

because you can pull sam fisher and kill everyone in base without alarm

Guys how do I remove that annoying sound when I press H to unseen the health thingy, I don't like to play with hud on

[visual flicker]

I am on USISG playthrough, so I would need something more Solid Snakey

[hoary veldt]

You could try my MGS PDA sound mod

[visual flicker]

I would seriously consider alert sounds

[midnight iron]

maybe its somewhere in mod for this health bar?

[visual flicker]

I actually wanted that vibration sound from EFP

[hoary veldt]

Maybe, I'm not modder so I wouldn't know

[visual flicker]

Couldn't pinpoint which mod changed that

[midnight iron]

trying to find it in Body Health System mod

not sure if I can find it there

[autumn elbow]

Is there a way to check ammo with weapon equipped?

[wispy sparrow]

Is there any reason to enable the warfare mod if it's main mode is unstable?

[paper sable]

is it supposed to look like this? not the prettiest thing to look at

[brisk zinc]

#📢announcements

i know about that

[brisk zinc]

You already know the answer then

i meant the contrast between the ground and grass is a bit odd

[brisk zinc]

#old-feedback-suggestions then, not really a question since, again, you know the answer

[paper sable]

allright

[charred glen]

how is modeled the NPCs armor protection ? is it global, or body part specific ?
eg: If I shoot a heavy armored military in the leg, or straight in the face, will it ignore torso/stomach armor, or no....
Thanks ! 🙂

[hoary veldt]

If you shoot guy in the face, then yes he’s gonna get hit in the face

Unless he’s wearing a helmet and your ammo doesn’t pen

Same goes for arms and legs

I have a low priority question that's a bit subjective. I'm starting out with CS in the swamps, I got that second set of armor from them. What should I be looking for in the way of armor upgrade? Any suits that drop in the swamp that I should focus on fixing up? I'd hate to work on one just to find a better one immediately.

The lowest that you can repair armor parts is 50%

Anything below that is supportive material or pocket change

[plucky narwhal]

I think I started with that crappy CS coat, then was given the CS-1. I get the CS-3 later?

[hoary veldt]

The CS-3 is given for the Machine Yard assault

[full orbit]

what repairs 50% im only seeing heavy for 65%

[hoary veldt]

It’s a good armor for the south and holds you over

Are you talking armor or armor parts?

[full orbit]

armor parts

[hoary veldt]

Yeah, a sewing kit or armor repair kit will work at 50%

[full orbit]

i want to repair my ACE but its at 22%, so i want to swap parts.

[hoary veldt]

It’s only on guns that need 60%

[plucky narwhal]

Oof, machine yard. Still on the part where I need to attack the Southeast crossing.

[graceful iron]

you repair parts using the field armour kit and sewing thread and they can repair 50% and over only

[hoary veldt]

Yeah, get some parts at 50% durability or higher and use the sewing thread and field kit

Then swap them with the appropriate tier of repair kit

[hoary veldt]

You’re close then, Machine Yard is right after that

[plucky narwhal]

Heh, I'm still trying to find that attack team and help them take the cordon crossing. Renegades and bandits everywhere.

[hoary veldt]

It’s difficult though, master and expert level military can spawn during that

But the reward for the CS3 is pretty worth considering that’ll hold you until you get something heavier

[plucky narwhal]

I'm trying to make due with my scoped K98, but these guys are accurate. I'd piece together an AK but I'm still not being offered the 5.45 ammo for it

[graceful iron]

WP factions only sell 5.45 and its on higher supply levels

clear sky is NATO

you can craft your own ammo if you get a gunsmithing kit from stashes

[plucky narwhal]

Ohhh right. And the enemies I'm fighting drop WP weapons.

Does sidor carry any if I made may way over to cordon? Or do I need to get my rep up first?

[graceful iron]

you will need loner goodwill first

[young thorn]

Hello, sorry to bother here, but I would like to know if there is a way to make the cigarette animation longer like the old one.

srry bad english btw

[brisk zinc]

Try to disable this one

[young thorn]

Thank you so much man

[brisk zinc]

Let me know if that works

[young thorn]

I will try here

[low dragon]

hey, i was in the garbage and suddenly it said I failed the quest for Kovalev's laptop, is the quest timed and I just have to go see him again in the swamp? or did alife just fucked my save?

[graceful iron]

the quest is not timed so the quest giver most likely just died, but he is supposed to be immune to all kinds of damage except the actor

do you have any extra addons ?

[low dragon]

ouch, no stock gamma

[young thorn]

Worked, thank you

[azure jewel]

Alright, installation complete

[full orbit]

anyway to repair a barrel in the gun without having to go to a vice?

[azure jewel]

If this don't work, i'm gonna throw something.

it doesnt work

come on...

[graceful iron]

same error ?

[sudden egret]

not sure if it's a bug or not but I'm getting an insane amount of mutant parts from kills. Just got two hearts, five claws, three horns from a single chimera. Is this normal?

[azure jewel]

let me get logs

[hoary veldt]

Use a toolkit

[graceful iron]

you dont need a vice. #╭📖faq has a detailed guide and its even in your pda now

[azure jewel]

Exactly the same error as last time

[graceful iron]

seems about normal, also it could have to do with high survival level

[graceful iron]

did you use a completely new anomaly folder when installing gamma ?

[azure jewel]

Yes, it has worked before I updated the game.

I'm gonna disable all of the new addons and see what happens

Odd, still nothing works

[graceful iron]

did the installer cmd show any errors when you complete installed ?

[azure jewel]

I don't think so

this is weird

[graceful iron]

you can respawn him, check the pinned message #🔨base-gamma-support message

[low dragon]

So i picked a little bit older save, travelled to the swamps and Kovalec is alright at the Church. Whats weird its that he wouldve been killed while the area was unloaded as I was in the garbage when the mission failed

[graceful iron]

check what is offline combat set to in your game options

by default its smart terrains, and i think the church is considered one

you could completely disable offline combat i guess

[azure jewel]

Alright, is there any other solution other than uninstalling and reinstalling everything.

[low dragon]

good to know I can respawn him if needed. Yes its set to smart terrain, very weird I will monitor that

for now its ok i just loaded an older save and directly went into the swamps (was in Cordon)

[graceful iron]

i cant seem to find anything about the duplicate section it has a problem with, and if you are going to reinstall i suggest you delete the mods folder and delete the anomaly folder and re-extract it and then complete install

you can backup your save files

[azure jewel]

delete the entire anomaly folder as in the game, right?

[graceful iron]

yes

[azure jewel]

Do i keep GAMMA RC3 or do I also need to delete that too

[graceful iron]

keep it, just delete the mods folder

also check if you have the 3.3 installer from #📢announcements(sorry if i already asked this, i am not sure at this point)

[azure jewel]

ah i got hit as a bot lmao

ahhhhhhhhh

[graceful iron]

[azure jewel]

well i already deleted anomaly and the mods...

[graceful iron]

and i thought you would at least have the 3.2

i dont remember what 3.2 fixed but this might just be caused by that

get the installer from #📢announcements and wait for an hour or use a vpn if you have one

#💽how-to-update complete install

[azure jewel]

great now I need to wait for stalker anomaly to download on my 3rd world wifi

[willow hawk]

Yes I fixed the moddb panic with 3.2

Please get the 3.3 version

[graceful iron]

nah its just a few hours its fine

[novel dune]

I somehow missed the installer 3.3 announcement however, I made a clean install today with 3.2 and everything in my game works great, no errors or warnings in installer console - am I fine with 3.2 for now?

[prime field]

do all artifacts drain when equipped or just the junk ones??

[graceful iron]

the 3.3 fixes the path too long error with a certain addon and all you have to do is download and extract it

[graceful iron]

only junk

[prime field]

ty

[novel dune]

but after I do it, I don't need to reinstall everything again if I got 0 errors with 3.2 ?

[graceful iron]

no, just download and extract the installer exe

#📢announcements pinned message

[tacit magnet]

is there a point in leveling certain factions rep still

cause they dont sell weapons or armor?

like should i level eco for high tier meds and sciencey stuff and duty for ammos for eastern weapons and supplies from barkeep?

[bleak egret]

Ecologists in particular have unique things to sell you cannot get elsewhere. Also, you will need vendors for ammo and attachments, and many other things. You will also need at least two factions happy, as there are Warsaw type merchants, and NATO type merchants.

[hoary veldt]

#│📚manual There are factions that sell ammo specific to a certain type, Mercs sell NATO ammo and Duty sells WP ammo

[tacit magnet]

thank you guys

[hoary veldt]

[proper prawn]

So does anyone sell guns?

[hoary veldt]

Nope, you gotta scavenge everything yourself

#│📚manual

It's very drastic, I know

But give it a try

[sullen valve]

Is there a way to increase condition from weapons at 13%? Do I just need to go to a technician?

Or is there some cheap item I can buy from the cordon trader?

[hoary veldt]

Try using your repair kit on it, you just need to get it to 30% so you can use a Hopps

[graceful iron]

#╭📖faq has a detailed guide and the guide is now in your in-game pda if you have the recent updates. but to clean the overall gun condition you can pay the technician or maintain the weapon when you have a repair kit or cleaning kit

[sullen valve]

Repair kit, gotcha

[fresh merlin]

in early game who do I sell artifacts to?

[graceful iron]

ecologists if you are friendly/neutral to them

[hoary veldt]

I'd consider keeping one for yourself though, particularly a ballistic one

A Jellyfish or Meat Chunk will serve you well during the early game

[fresh merlin]

I have zero money at the start so I need the money real bad

[hoary veldt]

However, mind that you can't just find an artifact and sell it

You'll need to empower it with the melter first

[graceful iron]

do quests, you main income is always quests

[hoary veldt]

Do quests, talk to other stalkers and do their quests

Skin mutants and keep their parts around just in case Stalkers want 'em

[sullen valve]

Running back to cordon after each mission doesn’t seem like the play lol

Running back and forth is tough

[hoary veldt]

That's the early game for ya

[graceful iron]

you have fast travel

[hoary veldt]

It's even worse in the swamps, trust me

But yeah, you have fast travel too

[sullen valve]

I don’t have enough rubble

It’s like 4K a travel

[hoary veldt]

Better start training your legs then

It's good for you anyways

Levels up your Strength and Endurance

[sullen valve]

[fresh merlin]

so I am at 18:00 in game time. It's getting dark so I don't want to venture out for quests
But it costs 4000 to get a sleeping pill to sleep
what do I do to pass time to sleep?

[graceful iron]

you can drink vodka or eat food to also increase sleepiness

[fresh merlin]

what is the cheapest combo to get to sleep

[graceful iron]

using a sleeping bag and having a bed spread in your inventory improve the quality of your sleep (you wont wake up early)

[hoary veldt]

[graceful iron]

sleeping pills are common and comparatively cheap

[fresh merlin]

4000 is cheap?

[graceful iron]

yes

2 uses

[hoary veldt]

You can sub Vodka instead if you don't wanna spend the money

[fresh merlin]

will sleep heal HP?

[north turret]

yes

[graceful iron]

it only heals limbs

[hoary veldt]

Not main HP, but limb HP

[graceful iron]

not overall

[fresh merlin]

what shader / setting should I use to have visible shadow areas?
And when I look towards the sky everything else becomes dark. Is there a way to turn that off

[olive haven]

sleep will heal one limb at a time so if you became a vegetable consider near 24h sleep to fully heal

[heavy crow]

Interesting found a locked pda with "kill strelok" any use for it other than selling it to a trader? didnt have a option to unlock it at the tech in cordon

[olive haven]

not sure you're meant to get this one

[warped ginkgo]

no

just selling it it's purpose

[heavy crow]

okay wouldve been cool if it had a questline or sum but thanks for the info

[vagrant falcon]

what do these 2 words stand forr?

[north turret]

this is getting out of hand now there are 2 of them

dick and anus

[vagrant falcon]

damn

[plush tendon]

am i doing something wrong? the ui never tells me when im bleeding and some other status effects too

9 times outa 10 i know im bleeding cus it tells me i can't sleep while bleeding out

[olive haven]

bloody screen tm

[plush tendon]

is that really the replacement for an icon? a 2008 COD bloody screen jpeg?

[olive haven]

seems so

[plush tendon]

game really needs a status menu

[jagged lance]

statuses are also in the inventory

[plush tendon]

they are? i thought that it was only stats and not statuses?

[jagged lance]

if you're bleeding your health icon will be different i dont remember the exact change

nah the icons glows and stuff

same when you're irradiated

[vagrant falcon]

is the outfit icon fixed with this modpack?

[graceful iron]

outfit icons are completely changed, idk what about them needed fixing in the first place

[vagrant falcon]

when you have the player portrait by outfit on, the icon says no data when you reload a game, so you have to reaquipp the outfit

[warped ginkgo]

[vagrant falcon]

[swift breach]

has a pulsing red glow if I'm not mistaken

[solid olive]

how do u turn on lasers?

[hoary veldt]

#│💻keybinds-in-gamma hold L

[solid olive]

thank uuu

[sterile cedar]

noticed bizon replacer is ticked off after updating and it gets overwritten by GAMMA Weapon pack addon, should i leave it ticked off?

[fresh merlin]

when I look towards the sky everything else becomes dark. Is there a way to turn that off
Does someone know?

[graceful iron]

keep it as it is

[sullen valve]

does the animation for chopping up mutants working for you guys? For me it's just the PC briefly kneeling to gather the parts rather than pulling out the knife and cutting

dunno if it's intentional or not

[fresh merlin]

I don't see anything either

[graceful iron]

the animation is disabled in the mcm for fdda

[sullen valve]

Gotcha

[graceful iron]

you can enable it but be warned it can cause busy hands sometimes especially if you spam animations

[frank lichen]

the mo2 surpport the languege localzized?

i want load chinese translate in game but seem it cause crash

[fluid depot]

How do I get the psy-helmet if I'm not playing story mode? Sakharov doesn't have the dialogue to purchase it, and the Red Forest is still blocked by a psy-field

[graceful iron]

kill sakahrov or debug it, gamma is made for story mode

[prime jackal]

I'm trying to get my armor fixed, is there any way I can get it fix?

thanks

[frank lichen]

righ click the armor

open the info

[jagged lance]

read the manual hombre

[frank lichen]

and go to find the smith

[graceful iron]

#╭📖faq and the pda in-game have a detailed guide on how to repair armors and guns

[prime jackal]

thank you

[frank lichen]

my quetion not have answer?

sad it hard to read the english

[brisk zinc]

Probably not

[frank lichen]

okay :L

[brisk zinc]

Anomaly doesn't have a chinese translation, from what I remember

[frank lichen]

i have from the taiwan form

[brisk zinc]

Okay

Anomaly is a thing, though

GAMMA is another

GAMMA is Anomaly, yes

But it's Anomaly with mods

[cedar star]

Did you ever find out?

[brisk zinc]

My guess is that your translation is causing some conflict with the other mods

[graceful iron]

only spore and sidorovich sell them and only south

[frank lichen]

it say ovverride

[cedar star]

Big sad

[brisk zinc]

That's not even GAMMA

[frank lichen]

is isnt?

this one?

but i cant open this one
