Come back in daytime

[untold forge]

I have been trying to find package with rf reciever in old church in great swamp but i cant find it anywhere, does anyone know where it could be ?

[graceful iron]

[slow fox]

Try using Lamp artefact, it wil highlight it

[untold forge]

I dont have one

It also beeps different, it doesnt change quantity but just volume of the beeps

[slow fox]

Try walking around with your F key pressed the whole time

[untold forge]

Already tried

Nothing

[slow fox]

Yes the faster the beep the closer you are

[untold forge]

Seems like its on roof of the church but theres to way to access it

[untold forge]

This time it just beeps louder

[slow fox]

Its usually a bit hidden, try looking under stuff, like under the table, or inside car

[alpine moon]

What's this?

[untold forge]

I really searched everywhere

[graceful iron]

your psy health

not sure why its stretched

ultra wide monitor ?

[alpine moon]

Yes. 3440x1440

It's not that big of a deal but if there is a fix, it would certainly be welcomed.

[north turret]

when you choose the difficulty to highest. do both AI and you die easily?

or you are the only one that just dies easily?

[graceful iron]

no, difficulty changes the actor's protection and the AI's accuracy

i think it affects some other things as well

[north turret]

ayt thanks for the info ❤️

[graceful iron]

but if you want to kill enemies fast get a large caliber gun with AP ammo

even 545 and 556 can one tap heads

[echo elk]

Can someone remind me how to respawn an NPC? The 'military cook' in Yantar's base never appeared for me.

The one that also has trades for vodka.

Nevermind, found his ID - yan_povar_army_mlr

[fallow cliff]

this might seem like a stupid question but can i use the fireaxe to skin mutants?

[jagged lance]

not as far as i know

you dont need the knife equipped though you can just have it in the inventory

[fallow cliff]

oh

[north turret]

you can have like 5 guns on you

[fallow cliff]

btw does the quick melee button work for increasing the Skill?

or do i need to actually equip the knife and use it for it to count for meleeing mutants

[visual flicker]

Anyone knows if WP traders sell PBS-1 suppressor?

[jagged lance]

believe so

pretty sure ive seen duty sell it

[graceful iron]

it is in fact a Russian suppressor

all WP factions sell it at a certain supply level

[visual flicker]

alright. its not sup. lvl. 2, so I guess I need to grind a bit more 🙂

[willow hawk]

Still the same, very passive

[astral wigeon]

I press "R" but it doesn't unjam the weapon for some reason

[brisk zinc]

If you updated recently, it should be double tap F or Z

[willow hawk]

R or double tap F

[tawdry ruin]

I looked at the pins and message history and did not understand
logless crashes during sleep fixed or not?
and what are they caused by

[mystic finch]

Do you have a section for player edits? I have done some edits to get the ukranian voices mod to work with everything I believe and I would like to share it if you guys don't mind

[main sphinx]

does anybody happen to know what things are ticked in the re shader menu in game by default? I unticked all of them for frames but want to enable them again

[median lagoon]

this is what I have on my gamma install, not sure if it will help you

[main sphinx]

thank you bro I appreciate it

[astral wigeon]

Reshade is based off of presets you install and configure them anyway you want

[shell osprey]

Yo, did anyone find expert toolkit

I have searched many stashes, but cant find it

[graceful iron]

make sure to search north, they can only be found in marked stashes in red forest and further north

[mystic finch]

let me know if you guys would like me to share my edit or not

[shell osprey]

oooh, okay

does zaton and jupiter count as north?

[mystic finch]

yes they are beyond red forest

[graceful iron]

yes, but you might have better chances in radar/outskirts/pripyat/cnpp than zaton and jupiter

[mystic finch]

oh so very far north I haven't even found my advanced yet I have no clue where to look

[graceful iron]

advanced tools spawn around the army warehouses area, or try crafting 5 basic kits into one advanced if you have enough

[mystic finch]

yes I was in the process of doing that

thanks for info though

[main sphinx]

i cant even find advanced tools 😦

I need rad protection to go north right

[willow hawk]

yes

use radprotectants

[graceful iron]

yes, there are some good gasmasks that can be repaired using a basic toolkit

[astral wigeon]

lmao

I just found advanced tools just now

[median lagoon]

are there other factions npc like Hip that you can recruit and are linked to a quest?

[willow hawk]

Not really no

[main sphinx]

where 🥲

[astral wigeon]

truck cemetery for a quest from a random duty twat to go find a stash

[main sphinx]

lmao

[median lagoon]

shame because if you play other factions you might not be able to recruit, Hip seems strong compared to other npc I have recruited so far. maybe it's just my impression

[main sphinx]

how do you turn 5 basics into an advanced?

[graceful iron]

in the crafting menu

repair items section

did crafting repair kits get any changed recently ? crafting an army rifle repair kit seems to give a repair kit with 3 uses instead of 5

i tried multiple times and once it even gave a 2 uses kit

the crafting menu still says it should give 5 uses

[astral wigeon]

what's the best method to obtaining a better version of the Duty armor I have now? just get rep up or something with Duty and then pretenko will restock with armor?

[alpine moon]

How can I repair my leather jacket? I have glue tube, field armour toolkit and advanced sewing kit yet I can't repair it

[mystic finch]

what is augmented weapon pack addons? This file is new but it isn't enabled

[mystic finch]

no you can't buy armour follow around you fellow dutyers and hope they drop you some armour should they die

[tardy bramble]

Sorry for the noob question but how do I heal limbs?

[graceful iron]

#╭📖faq has a fully detailed guide on how to repair guns and armor

#╭📖faq message

[charred glen]

-> #│📚manual

[graceful iron]

first aid and then post heal, the most basic way is to use a medkit and then a yadulin

[tardy bramble]

Thanks! 🙂

[graceful iron]

read the manual in your pda

[graceful iron]

it adds some AUG gun variants

it should be enabled

did you update with a complete install ? #📢announcements

[astral wigeon]

so then what is the best method of obtaining better armors if not buying them?

[graceful iron]

looting stalkers or stashes

[astral wigeon]

is there a mod removing armors from trader loot pools?

[mystic finch]

yes I just performed a complete install the file is there but it is not selected and it's in gamma disabled category

[graceful iron]

check if its a duplicate, and if its installed correctly

[severe hemlock]

Hi guys, I just installed and tried modpack. I have really strong machine, but even if I disabled reshade effects I strangely get 45 fps when I look at the ground, when I look at the sky i get 100. Also when playing looking normally at the world my fps seem to oscillate fast between 70 to 40 and I get such strong stuttering that my movement is stuttering with it. What might be the cause?
Only modification to graphics that I made is that I lowered grass distance and density and increased world distance a bit and added volumetric light.

[mystic finch]

the one that is currently enabled is 233 augmented weapon pack the one that is disabled is 243 augmented weapon pack addons

[graceful iron]

#╭📖faq message #╭📖faq

[alpine moon]

And another noob question. How do I get workbench? From some traders?

[graceful iron]

you just right click on any toolkit you have and open workbench, make sure to read the manual in your pda

[astral wigeon]

ty 🙂

[sour sparrow]

Vsync or cap your framerate, check out #old-framerate-optimisation

[mystic finch]

so do I disable 233 and enable 243?

[graceful iron]

it should be 233

[mystic finch]

it is I was just asking about 243 but I guess I will ignore it

[graceful iron]

make sure that you have #📍577-mods-in-mo2

[severe hemlock]

Thank will do 🙂

[fiery plover]

hey guys, any way to "show tooltipos faster" ?

[graceful iron]

probably disabling the not so instant tooltip addon

[hybrid kayak]

Hi, can someone please tell me how to heal body parts? Such as arms and legs...

Very new to the game

[alpine moon]

I don't get it. When I open field armour toolkit like it says in the manual I get this

I don't see workshop menu

[fiery plover]

the medic dude can fix all i think

[hybrid kayak]

In outposts? there is no like splints and stuff ?

[sour sparrow]

That's for repairing armour parts, find a set of basic, advanced or expert tools

[median lagoon]

buy and use meds with white heart icons, in the descritions will tell which parts they heal. Doctors also if it's available

[sour sparrow]

#│📚manual message

[mystic finch]

that's for repairing certain armour parts with identical parts if you want the workbench you need to use basic, advanced or expert toolkits

[graceful iron]

#╭📖faq message it cant get more simple and detailed than this explanation

right click any toolkit(not repair kit) and open workbench

these are toolkits

[rocky cradle]

is this kind of stuff something i should worry about? started seeing that during an emission, not causing any crash or anything. Just curious. i think that script is from gamma ui, since i got the square minimap mod disabled

[mystic finch]

well I did another complete install and still only 290 active mods I don't get why it's not installing correctly

[alpine moon]

@graceful iron Thanks. And I find these hidden in the zone or from traders?

[graceful iron]

in marked stashes, this is also mentioned in the manual in your pda

you get stash locations from completing quests and looting dead bodies

stash content depends on the map they are in

[severe hemlock]

Hi again, I followed the framerate optimisation but it doesnt help, this is indeed strange. Something is not optimised by the mod, beacuse this doesnt make sense, when I look with my character normally horizontally I have more fps than looking at the ground like straight underneath me. I get 45 fps when looking at my feet, 50 to 70 when looking normally and 150 when looking at the sky. Why is this super strange is that usually you know when you look at the ground underneath your feet the fps should spike to high values. Something is not optimised properlly here this doesnt make any sense...

[graceful iron]

if there is no crash or any sort of fps hits then you can probably ignore that

[rocky cradle]

alright, thank you!

[sour sparrow]

It does sound strange. Are you running the game on an SSD? You could try opening the debug menu and deleting all common squads, if that helps it might be cpu related

[brisk zinc]

Lower grass, sun, shadows, render distance and water

[severe hemlock]

How can I do this? Yes its SSD NVMe

[sour sparrow]

Enable debug in the launcher, then f7 in game

[charred glen]

what do the "flatness" do for weapons when you upgrade them ?

[graceful iron]

less bullet drop over range

[severe hemlock]

Its not helping, probably i didn't delete a right shader or I missed I thing there, because only thing affecting that would be something with shaders doing to the ground when i look at it so it affects fps drop.

[sour sparrow]

Damn, that's about all I can think of, someone with more technical knowledge might be of more help here sorry mate.

[digital vine]

what is the best way to fix corrupt bin files?

[digital vine]

nice thanks

[north turret]

i got a question. The "Anonymous" person that lets us search for packages on the RF reader. Where do i give these packages to?

[stable stag]

You simply open them for supplies

[graceful iron]

they contain random supplies and sometimes gun parts and perk based artefacts

[north turret]

ooohh im suppose to unpack it. im such a dumdum. Thanks mate

[severe hemlock]

Thanks for the effort man I really appreciate it 🙂

[silk granite]

Hello, I've just saw that Grok updated the modpack to optimise sounds, if I have the time I'll test it to see how it works

I too have a very underpowered laptop, gunfights were problematic but like I said, i'll test it to see how it works now, hopes are high!

[visual flicker]

anyway to save game settings, so that I don't need to change them after every update?

[charred glen]

don't you find the fire rate a bit slow for pistols in general ? 200 rpm ish feels a bit low to me, is there a way to change it ?

Hi, is there a way to keep my reshade settings (adjustments to effects/screenshot path) persistent through gamma updates ? thanks 🙂

[sour sparrow]

The what?

[sour sparrow]

You got an Amazon wishlist or somewhere I can donate cat? I don't know how you haven't thrown your monitor through a window with some of the braindead questions you get here, you deserve something nice.

[static lake]

So my mp7 mags got turned into modified mp7 mags that require 9x19. But the mp7 still uses 5.7(or whatever previous ammo it used)
Is this expected or is it a bug?

[willow hawk]

Do a complete install to get the update

[silk granite]

I'll do it, thanks legend!

[ornate salmon]

wait

grok

that update was supposed to increase performance as well?

[willow hawk]

Hum yes

Removed the smoke particles from guns

And decreased the total number of audio sources

Should help for some rig I guess

[ornate salmon]

huh, i see

tho i still dont think it will help my amd a lot

since apparently xray hates amd

[brisk zinc]

@willow hawk change #📍577-mods-in-mo2

It's 290

Not 291

[willow hawk]

Oh

But I added one mod

[ornate salmon]

minor inconvenience

[brisk zinc]

Just did a complete installation

[willow hawk]

Ok

[brisk zinc]

I don't want another wave of "it's 290, not 291!!!" since it's already happening

[willow hawk]

People are too sensitive to this yo

I have 305 mods

Testing stuff you know

I'm joking

[ornate salmon]

i got 311

(without the latest updates that made it jump from 286 to 290)

Hello, did the option to compare suits in stashes to the one you're currently wearing with alt+hover get removed again? It doesn't show, how the stats would look if 100%. Didn't play for a few weeks and just complete updated

[stable stag]

Hold ctrl whilst hovering

[stoic axle]

Ah thanks! That was it. Confused it with alt+disassemble

[spice cypress]

Is it normal that some traders/mechanics never spawn into the world?

[bleak egret]

No? which ones are missing?

[spice cypress]

The trader next to Xenotech, Wolf never spawned, and I'm sure I'll find more as I explore

[latent otter]

Have You enabled something in ZCP or lowered population factors ?

[spice cypress]

Think it could be the Stalker Bases Population setting?

[bleak egret]

yeah, thats not normal, Wolf should always be chillin outside of fat bastards' place. The trader next to Xeno sleeps at night, so he might just be "in the back"

[spice cypress]

I went into the back and he's not there, nor should he be at mid-day

[bleak egret]

Have you modified anything? Or have extra mods?

[spice cypress]

No extra mods, but I set ZCP's Stalker Base Population to Survival, Squad Size variance, but that's it

[azure jewel]

for some reason I crash whenever i travel/fast travel into army warehouses, I can spawn in just fine in dead city or something but oddly enough, its only crashing in army warehouse.

let me get logsa

[bleak egret]

yeah i dunno, might have been your changes in ZCP. Either way, head over to #old-bugs i'd say. Might be worth changing the ZCP setting back to "stock", starting a new game, and seeing if they show up. If so, theres the culprit.

[bleak egret]

post it in #old-bugs

[main sphinx]

I'm a bit confused when it comes to repairing armours, do I 100% need parts to repair armours? There's no other way?

[brisk zinc]

#╭📖faq #│📚manual

You also have the manual in game with the same stuff

[ornate salmon]

check the damn manual

[brisk zinc]

To answer your question directly, no, you don't need 100% parts

[ornate salmon]

[main sphinx]

I have tried and I'm looking at the image where it tells you how to repair I'm just confused still..

[bleak egret]

maybe you were not meant for the zone, stalker

[main sphinx]

I'm just trying to learn

[lapis silo]

Maybe specify the part you do not understand

[bleak egret]

i feel ya, but its all in the manual. anything we say here will just parrot what is written there

[graceful iron]

once you open mo2 it should give an error and then ask you to point to the path of the game

[main sphinx]

How to repair armours, I have a light repair kit which this armour piece needs but I don't have the parts to repair so how can I repair it

[graceful iron]

(nvm sorry thats not it)

[bleak egret]

get repair parts

[bleak egret]

hes already got it sorted in #old-bugs cat

[main sphinx]

like the thing i need to repair is 10% condition

[bleak egret]

you need A: toolkit to open ye olde workbench. B: repair kit (you have this) C: armor parts to replace the shit ones in your armor

[main sphinx]

and if i dont have any parts i need to find them?

[bleak egret]

disassemble other armors you find. keep the parts that are at least 50% quality

[brisk zinc]

I'll make it more simple for you, since Demonturtle already did it for me

To change parts, you need at least:

• A basic/advanced/expert tools
• A repair kit
• Parts you need to use

When you have the repair kit and the parts you want to change in your inventory, open the basic/advanced/expert tools and navigate to the "repair" tab
The repair kit will be already there, you don't need to select it
Select the armor you want to repair
Choose the parts you want to change
Done

[main sphinx]

okay so I guess im missing parts and i need to dismantle more armours?

[bleak egret]

many.

[bleak egret]

basically what you need is to take a backpack, create a stash near someplace convenient with merchants or something. this is your base. everytime you come back from your adventures with meats and new parts and maybe a new gun or two, you stick it in the stash. eventually youll have lotsa parts and food and spare meds and whatnot.

[main sphinx]

finding a lot of 0% parts

[bleak egret]

Yup. told you itd take a while. Every body you loot levels up your scavenging skill too. Stepping stones.

[civic wharf]

What should I be picking up from bodies? So far I've been collecting ammo + trash to sell or dismantle, meds + food to keep, dismantling armors for parts, pulling green parts from guns and leaving the rest on the ground

[warped ginkgo]

so, duty expansion doesn't have the nibmle bug anymore?

[bleak egret]

All armor parts 50% or higher have value. Most people do not need nearly as much gun parts as they think. And yea, all ammo, food, disassemble things.

[fiery plover]

with all the diifferent story lines, i guess to start u pick "living legend: old friend" ?

[civic wharf]

Can you repair armor parts by using the same parts, or is that through armor toolkits/toolsets?

[bleak egret]

Sewing thread and the like. Not armor repair kits, but part repair kits.

[bleak egret]

Do what you want. Each faction has a storyline, as well as the main big story, living legends and the like.

[slender hamlet]

I really love the guitar song in GAMMA menu
does anybody knows what song is?

[brisk zinc]

It comes from Inscryption IIRC

[civic wharf]

Is there an image or chart for all the kits?

[civic wharf]

yeah that's from Inscryption

[slender hamlet]

just found it

thanks !

[bleak egret]

I dont believe so. Though, as you gain rep with a faction, the technicians gain new things to sell every 500 rep. Either that or you can check in your toolkit's workbench menu, some might be craftable.

[azure jewel]

Does anyone know what mod changes the repair thing from a simple number to a part-based system?

[fiery plover]

so wolf should give you a new mission to start "lost to the zone" are there pre-missions needed? i only see the living legends misson

[spice cypress]

Can confirm that it's ZCP's Stalker Base Population setting

[bleak egret]

ah good to know for future dudes

[bleak egret]

talk to fat bastard

[fiery plover]

only gives living legends atm

[bleak egret]

yeah, so youll need to finish that for part one

[azure jewel]

anyone got an answer?

[brisk zinc]

Can you show me what you're talking about?

[azure jewel]

Like you know how instead of a 1-100% system vanilla has, instead, the 1-100% means how clean the gun is and the main thing to repair guns is the parts

[warped ginkgo]

i think he means instead of 13% or 3% to 5-25-50%

[bleak egret]

Well the 1-100% is an option in stock anomaly. As for the full monty part repair system, the mod WPO is what does that.

[azure jewel]

Alright, thanks

[median pivot]

hi, simple question. Can I turn off "new economy system"?

[fiery plover]

wich mod is for the ammo hud ?

[brisk zinc]

You want guns and armors back again?

[azure jewel]

If you go into mod loader and disable 'GAMMA Economy' and 'GAMMA Economy no BAS Injection' you get it pretty close to vanilla

[median pivot]

actually is not my question. My friend saw that mod, and thinking about that situation. I prefer much more new system 🙂

I saw that mod on stream, and actually that was the reason, why I interested that mod too, cause when I played, I started only with knife, and nothing else, and tryin to survive. Thanks to this mod, everything should be much interested now. Thanks 🙂

The installation is simple? I'm boomer, so everything with mods is new for me 😄

Still can't figure... used all possible medicine from trader which has white and red hearts and says what parts it heals.. it becomes from red to yellow for some time and than drops back to low (red)

It's a guy in a labcoat, not the first dead Stalker

If you can't open the last door with the code, reload the autosave from when you came in.

Sidorovich gave me a contract killer task and when I put the guy in my sights I find out he's also a Loner - intended or bug? Best way would probably be to lure some enemies to him?

[graceful iron]

you should read what the quest is before taking it

some quests can ask you to kill friendlies, not a bug

[charred glen]

Thanks ! found them 👌

[graceful iron]

leading mutants or enemies to them could work

[civic wharf]

had no idea friendlies were even possible targets since it's never happened to me before, I'll figure something out
if I snipe the guy from far away, will I lose Loner reputation?

[graceful iron]

its still considered a kill so yes

[spice cypress]

I think the reward should offset the loss

[graceful iron]

that is assuming the target wont have a squad that will want to avenge him

you will have to kill more if he does

[bleak egret]

cant he just cancel the mission?

"Im sorry super fat man, i cant do this mission for you"

[graceful iron]

nope

Hey any reason why the Actor Shadow setting is off by default? looks nice with the new actor body model

Probably eats frames for very little reward, so off by default.

[bleak egret]

Nope. Use backpacks.

[spice cypress]

seems like a good feature to add since the world stashes are already there, it's redundant having to buy backpacks when I could at least have the option to write it down in my PDA

Under the section of Repair tools.

[slow rapids]

Another question. Game started to fell like fisheye or something

Its really strange. Any idea to fix it?

[bleak egret]

Do you have a helmut on?

[slow rapids]

no. just respirator

[tidal raft]

Check your FOV settings in the main menu.

[slow rapids]

trying it now

[shell osprey]

I couldnt find it in FAQ

[slow rapids]

It was FOV. Thanks a lot

[shell osprey]

Im doing the last dawn quest in outskirts where I have to save a band of outcasts, I found a loner with clear sky armor, but I cant really talk to him

[tidal raft]

Check nearby buildings for Monolit troopers.

[bleak egret]

Theres a squad of dudes in the building immediately north of there u need to kill

[bleak egret]

Aldo you might wanna add a #╭📖faq for that part too. It gets asked a lot.

[tidal raft]

No one reads #╭📖faq

[bleak egret]

LOL. I mean, this guy did whose name i cant type, and I did the first time before I tried to ask in questions. Theres plenty of us! At least 2!

[agile prawn]

Is there a way to refill my water flask or an "easy" way to get water?

Havent found a settlement in ages

or a vendor

[shell osprey]

aah, thanks my dude

[bleak egret]

Well, no. Honestly i pick up all the mineral water i can whenever im at a food vendor. Try to keep the canteens for cooking.

[spice cypress]

This ain't no Fallout

[agile prawn]

ye I know

just getting used to being fucked all the time

[sudden egret]

Free zoom can cause bugs with the FOV in my experience

[slow rapids]

It started after i got hit by a shot

[celest junco]

How would I go about transforming the environment into the lush and green version of the zone with Gamma?

[bleak egret]

#📢announcements check there

#📢announcements message

[celest junco]

ty sir

[cobalt venture]

Is there any reliable way to get expert tools? I have been going to stashes all over the map for about 4 hours and I still can't find one, just basic and advanced

[bleak egret]

Dont look all over the map, look at stashes only north of Red Forest.

[cobalt venture]

does that include zaton and jupitor?

[bleak egret]

To a lesser degree, yes. The best choices are of course as north as you can go.

[shell osprey]

Yep, found my first expert kit there

[cobalt venture]

alright thanks, now to just find stashes in the north since most of the ones I found are south

[bleak egret]

make sure to be readin the pdas the monos drop

loooooooots of stashes that way

[primal condor]

sorry for the stupid question, but how do i reload? i know the keybinds are very different in GAMMA but it still says R is relaod for me, yet when i press it it just makes my pistol go down and back up with a sound cue

(i have the mags enabled, and theyre assigned to my loadout and full, tried unjamming but it doesnt seem to be jammed either)

[bleak egret]

well, for one, #│💻keybinds-in-gamma . And GAMMA does not support mags, lotsa issues.

[primal condor]

ooohhhhh thank you thank you ill remove it then

[willow hawk]

Cause you have mags redux

[plush pewter]

there are 2 anomalies not on by default, mephistopholes and I think radar

[willow hawk]

And you didn't read the addon description

[plush pewter]

should those not be on?

[willow hawk]

As you prefer
I don't like them

And you'll get why when turning them on probably

[plucky narwhal]

So, I feel like i'm hitting brick wall after brick wall here. Every time I find something I want to restore to service, I either don't have access to the items to buy, or don't have the tools I need. I've been playing for hours and I've only ever been able to use my starting weapons.

I've got 500+ rep with CS, and neutral with Loners. Neither mechanic in swamp or cordon has anything other than pistol repair kits.

[bleak egret]

Make your own. GAMMA is allll about crafting.

[plucky narwhal]

That means I can't rebuild really anything I find out there. Unless I find something that's over 20% durability with a barrel over 60%.

And there's the other gate. I have no tools. I found medicine making kit, and weapon kit, which allows me to make ammo. That's it.

[bleak egret]

Pretty much every faction gives you free basic tools for their starting story missions.

[plucky narwhal]

Not CS.

I've done a couple of tasks for Sid and he's given me squat.

And mind you, every corner I step around I'm getting into a gunfight with 8+ bandits or renegades.

[hoary veldt]

Did you give Hip her stuff?

[plucky narwhal]

No, I haven't found it.

[hoary veldt]

She gives you basic tools for a Toz-194 and 20 buck

Odd, given the amount of bandits you’ve probably killed one of them should have had it

[plucky narwhal]

I've gotten every other type of TOZ under the sun.

[hoary veldt]

Then you can try buying Vodka instead

Give it to Spirit over at Yantar

He also gives you basic tools

Vodka is a lot more guaranteed

[low dragon]

only just found it in army warehouse on some beefy bandits with exo

[hoary veldt]

Seven bottles and basic kit is yours

[mild trout]

wait, does Hip require a fully repaired Toz

and does it have to be the scoped one

[hoary veldt]

No, it can be as shitty as it was

[plucky narwhal]

And again, how am I supposed to be fighting exo armored bandits with my starting weapons?

[hoary veldt]

No, it’s the TOZ-194

[low dragon]

does the toz 194 has to have repaired parts or only general condition?..

[mild trout]

i seem to remember in vanilla anomaly she needed that scoped one

Bizon something

[hoary veldt]

It’s changed, only the Toz-194 and 20 buckshot

Doesn’t matter what condition

[mild trout]

that's nice

good to know

[hoary veldt]

Avoid those exo bandits then

Go get some vodka and head to spirit

[plucky narwhal]

I also think i boned my rifle. I bought the 50k upgrade for my k98, making it far more effective. But now I don't know how to repair it. The barrel is starting to wear down, and rolling over it in the vendor screen shows the 12ga cleaning kit works. But I don't get the option to maintain components.

[low dragon]

okay thanks will try

[hoary veldt]

Get your basic tools and make yourself a historic kit

How repaired is the barrel?

[plucky narwhal]

Like 89%

[low dragon]

Also who is that guy Spirit?

[hoary veldt]

Yantar’s cook

So when you right click the rifle

It doesn’t give you the option to maintain the part?

[low dragon]

thanks dude cause i can't find those basic tools, i got the advanced tool

[plucky narwhal]

Right clicking gives me all the options, except to maintain parts.

[hoary veldt]

Give Spirit 7 bottles then

And you have the Aurora kit with you?

[plucky narwhal]

The one that says 12ga?

[hoary veldt]

Yeah, Aurora 12g cleaning kit

[plucky narwhal]

Yeah, several.

[hoary veldt]

Uh huh…

And what kit do you need to repair it?

Historic?

[plucky narwhal]

'Advanced weapon'

[hoary veldt]

I thought it was changed to historic

[bleak egret]

The upgraded Kar is different lol

[plucky narwhal]

Might have been for the stock k98, but I got that 50k upgrade kit with all the bells and whistles

[hoary veldt]

Yeah, you might have boned your rifle for now

Which is why getting vodka over to Spirit is even more important

So you can get basics for the historic kit

[hoary veldt]

I swear Grok said something about making it historic

[plucky narwhal]

It was the only way to get a better weapon since I'm not allowed to get any BETTER WEAPONS yet. lol

[hoary veldt]

Well, I understand that but again

Now that you know about Spirit, go give him the 7 Nemiroff

Get the basics

Get a historic

Find a shotgun and some slug ammo

Then hunt around for an advanced so you can repair an AK or something

That basic will let you make a light armor kit to maintain your armor too

[plucky narwhal]

Oh my god, THE HOOPS.

[hoary veldt]

It’s not that bad, honestly

If you can’t find it in a stash, that’s the way to go about it

[plucky narwhal]

This stuff's supposed to be intuitive, but now it's buy vodka, go to spirit, get tools, make kit, find shotgun, fix shotgun, buy slugs, and put away the rifle I spent all this time and ruble upgrading because it's too good for me now. -_-

[bleak egret]

#│📚manual

[hoary veldt]

[sour sparrow]

Debug mode, give yourself a normal k98, fix it, then apply the kit

[hoary veldt]

I swear Grok changed the Kar Advanced to historic at one point

[bleak egret]

[hoary veldt]

I dunno, Stalker hasnt ever felt particularly intuitive to me

[bleak egret]

thats the fun

[hoary veldt]

It seems like a lot on text but it’s not that bad

[bleak egret]

die, learn, die, learn, die, learn, win

[plucky narwhal]

Yeah i'm getting good at handling engagements with bolt action rifles. I was just hoping I'd have a little something better by this point but it seems like everything is hard-gated. You have to be in the mid-game to be able to do anything at all.

[bleak egret]

Could always just drop the kar and get an SKS, its the better early rifle. The tactical can be used till endgame pmuch.

[plucky narwhal]

Like to be able to fix an AK, you need advanced tools to make the rifle repair kits.

[hoary veldt]

I dunno, a Kar can carry you pretty damn far

I’ve taken engagements in Limansk as a merc against monos with the basic Kar and come out on top

[plucky narwhal]

Well II'm holding onto any decent SKSs I find, but I'm still in the same boat when trying to actually repair one to usable.

[hoary veldt]

After that it’s a matter of mad stash hunting for the tools

[bleak egret]

well, you can get the free basics, as for advanced you can always craft em

expert is the Great Stash Hunt™

[hoary veldt]

Yup, 5x basics and 5x metal scrap will get you the advanced

[plucky narwhal]

I'm just imagining the grind.

[bleak egret]

thats the game m8. and honestly, its not just that, its wandering around doing missions, cooking, crafting, getting some sweet artifcats etc.

[low dragon]

About stash hunt, there is one in the electro tunnel in the Wild Territory but its nowhere! not outside either, anyone remember?

[bleak egret]

well, its either above the electro tunnel, or its in the electro tunnel

[hoary veldt]

It’s in the electro tunnel

[bleak egret]

eithet way, electro tunnel will SHRED your armor if you stay in there long without a seva or surge protector or something

[plucky narwhal]

Yeah and I can't have fun doing any of those because my up-road crawl to having just a decent weapon seems endless.

[hoary veldt]

It really isn’t that bad, progression just isn’t “grind money and buy weapon” now

[low dragon]

I looked the car pile for 10 minutes and there is nothing, any chance a stash get bugged?

[bleak egret]

i call that a challenge, and challenges are fun

[plucky narwhal]

Just going from cordon to the swamp, I ran into a group of bandits at the zone-in that had 3 exo-suited guys. They all required like 5 headshots from the upgraded kar.

[hoary veldt]

It’s not a stash

[bleak egret]

could be under a car, could be in a front seat, could be a box

[low dragon]

I used radio protectant but I was wondering why I was loosing life badly, didnt look the armor, do radiation destroy the armor? (its not seva lol)

[hoary veldt]

Wait nevermind

You’re talking about a stash

[bleak egret]

its not radiation. its electro damage

[low dragon]

oh okay

[tough veldt]

do I need to buy a route from someone to get from cordon to great swamp?
I tried going through a transition and the screen goes black then I reappear in cordon?

[low dragon]

looked everywhere under the car, inside, around 😦

[plucky narwhal]

I'd have fun with the chalange if I didn't feel like I was backsliding instead of progressing. I'm being told that the one weapon I have that makes me able to fight the exo-suited bandits I'm finding in the swamp needs to be put away because I'm too noob to repair it.

[low dragon]

spammed F too

[bleak egret]

nope, thats a bug

[hoary veldt]

AP slugs on a shotgun can down some exo guys easy

[bleak egret]

man, just head north and get your basics from the drunk in yantar

[plucky narwhal]

That's gotta be step one.

[bleak egret]

thats like the only step, youll get a lot more and better weapons up north

[plucky narwhal]

If I felt I could survive for more than two seconds in the north when I'm save-scumming my ass off in the swamp.

[bleak egret]

man, ive gona to limansk with like a toz34 and a sks and was "ok"

swamp sucks, cant see shit

head to civilization lmao

[plucky narwhal]

Yeah i mean git gud, but I've got piles of weapons I want to repair and try out, loads of gun components ready to slot in, armors and masks I want to fix up and the more I learn about what things I'll need to get up to the level where I can even try makes me sad.

[bleak egret]

you can do ALL the things you want

if

you

just

go

to

yantar

[plucky narwhal]

Aright bro, I don't mean to get you worked up. Basic tools yeah.

[cyan wing]

someone knows if there is a way to change the sprint animation?

[bleak egret]

I dont believe anyone has done any work on the third person stuff, since no one really plays that way

might be a mod though

[hoary veldt]

First person or third?

[cyan wing]

i'm talking about first person

[cyan wing]

first

[hoary veldt]

You can disable this

It'll change the sprint animation

@plucky narwhal Hey, did you update lately?

[plucky narwhal]

uh last couple days ago

[hoary veldt]

Well, that's weird, because

As you can see here

The upgraded Kar needs a Historic Kit to repair

Not an advanced

So I'm confused why yours needs an advanced repair kit

[plucky narwhal]

Hmm, i'll have to check my game

[bleak egret]

o snap

[sullen valve]

Before you start the game, tourist progression is considered easy mode right?

[plucky narwhal]

You're right, it does say that. I was looking at the rifle from the Vice view, where it shows the Advanced.

[sullen valve]

If I bump up the progression, will the bandits get more than shotguns?

[hoary veldt]

That's even weirder

Better post that in bugs

Grok should change it so you can use the Historic to swap stuff out

[hoary veldt]

Not really

It'll just make trader prices higher

[plucky narwhal]

But yeah I see what you see in the advanced

[hoary veldt]

Also

Can you repair the barrel now?

Because I just tried with the 12g, I can maintain the barrel

Maybe save and reload, see if you can maintain then?

[stoic moth]

Probably because you're using the mod kit and the game considers that a different weapon than the K98. Should be an easy thing to fix

[bleak egret]

yes

[sullen valve]

Aww

The game is hard enough as it is lol, I can’t deal with the inflated prices of the zone

[plucky narwhal]

It doesn't give me the option

[molten siren]

Will the sun ever shine again? It’s been 7 days and still no blue sky..

[bleak egret]

Theres currently a bug with the weather after the latest update. Ive seen several people complain about permanent rain, fog, etc. Drop a note in #old-bugs

[hoary veldt]

Weird... try restarting the game and see if that works?

[plucky narwhal]

Well I checked it last night and reloaded the game now today to screenshot it.

[pliant garnet]

Evening fellow stalkers , does anyone know if the nps/ai can hear the radio or music player ? i know they hear gun shots / loud footsteps etc ?

[molten siren]

Thank you

[hoary veldt]

That is really strange...

[sullen valve]

What’s the safest way to get to the ecologists as a loner? I found some artifacts I wanna sell

[hoary veldt]

Try Agroprom or Garbage

[bleak egret]

First they need to be at least 30% condition. Youll need to head to Yantar and get the artifact discombobulator there.

[hoary veldt]

Garbage is safer because no Military and Agroprom sometimes also has Mercs there

There's also mercs at Yantar sometimes so watch out

[hoary veldt]

It's calle a Melter, not a discombobulator

Though that name is funny

[sullen valve]

Oof yantar, I guess I need to use the disguise feature

[hoary veldt]

Eh, the mercs aren't that bad

Pop 'em in the head and you'll be fine

[sullen valve]

Alright, I never really do artifact runs at all, but I did run into a couple last night by accident

[bleak egret]

No, no mercs in Yantar on the east side

[hoary veldt]

Ehhh...

Sometimes

Not all the time

[bleak egret]

Ive only found ecos with mercs over in Jupiter

[hoary veldt]

Depends on your game, I suppose

[bleak egret]

Tru

[hoary veldt]

I've heard gunfights between mercs and loners at Yantar a lot, had to drop a lot of Loners on the way from Dead City to Yantar

[bleak egret]

OOOOOOO dirty merc boy

[sullen valve]

I tried playing as a merc yesterday and tried to go to agropam, nope… a controller was at the entrance point lol. Killed me easy

[bleak egret]

lol controllers are one the best enemies ive ever seen in a game

so much fun

damn near shit myself when i first fought one back in 07'

[hoary veldt]

Yeah, I’m a mercenary. I kill Loners, and I don’t regret a thing

[sullen valve]

Hopefully one day I’ll be good enough to play Merc.

[hoary veldt]

[hoary veldt]

You’ll get there, it’s definitely a hard time lol

[bleak egret]

I farm your people for armor

[hoary veldt]

I farm your people for money

Which is more guaranteed, bucko?

[bleak egret]

i mean, you cant get the best armor in the game then?

HMMM

no armor for u!

[hoary veldt]

Best armor in the game? You mean my easy access to Monolith farming in Limansk for an Exo/Nosorog and also Res Forest for artifacts?

Yeah, pretty good armor I’d say

[bleak egret]

bah

pretty good isnt best

Merc Noso and ye olde ACE suit

[hoary veldt]

Psh, who needs best to beat the game? You just need good enough

(Anyways, we should stop here or something before the mods come and kill us)

[bleak egret]

haha yeah

though they cant kill me (best amor LOL)

[fresh merlin]

is there a way to disable goodwill penalties for quest failures because an NPC is dumb enough to kill himself

[bleak egret]

probably, but Grok recently increased goodwill gains. probably a lot easier to just pick up some more quests and be back before you know it

[plucky narwhal]

Yeah that's odd, i'll have to run a full update

[hoary veldt]

That's really weird

I really don't know how to fix that, unfortunately

[bleak egret]

You should head to #old-bugs and drop a note.

[plucky narwhal]

Well I'll want to make sure I'm fully updated first

[stoic moth]

It's probably in the k_98_mod file in the BAS mod folder

[plucky narwhal]

Hmm, updating gamma only didn't fix it. I'm doing the complete now.

[cobalt venture]

Is there a better way of getting stashes in jupitor for example if I am jupitor then if am in a another zone. like you can buy information on stashes from trades, is there a better chance of me getting a stash in jupitor if I buy the information from someone in jupitor?

Is there a better chance of ...*

[plucky narwhal]

If you're asking if you can buy stashes off traders, I know the main trader in the CS base sells stash locations.

[cobalt venture]

I know that

[plucky narwhal]

Since 98% of the stash locations I found in swamps weren't for stashes in swamps, I'd say it's all random.

[hoary veldt]

Yeah, it's all random

But doing quests in the North gives a higher chance of stashes spawning in the North

[cobalt venture]

alright that's good enough I don't want stashes for dark scape while being in zaton that would be annoying

[stoic moth]

I took a look at the upgrades for the nodded K98 and I think the reason why it required an advanced kit is because it uses the same upgrade tree as the SVD which requires an advanced kit

[plush pewter]

Has anybody somehow successfully been able to port In the mutant behaviors from gunslinger to gamma by chance?

I just saw a controller make a guy shoot himself lol I need that

[brittle trench]

Anyone know a full weapons list?

[bleak egret]

its in #│📚manual

[brittle trench]

Thank you

[remote night]

So i just entered the trash compactor anomaly with fanatic, grabbed the artifact and entered in the container but the radiation maked me run out of stamina and i can't move, am i missing something?

[jagged lance]

radiation takes away your stamina

[grand willow]

Is there a way to turn enemies not shooting through bushes back on?

[remote night]

welp but how are you supposed to get out of the anomaly field then

[jagged lance]

pop radioprotectant

have a cig

drop your backpack outside and only take in antirads and a container

[remote night]

Thanks

[bleak egret]

have a better helmut

[jagged lance]

dw rads can be a pain

once you get a good gasmask theyre only a problem in really bad spots

[grand willow]

Like trying to fight in Great Swamp is stupid hard now with the AI shooting though bushes

[remote night]

holy hell

medicine is so expensive

what is this, USA?

[sudden egret]

Enable the mod in mod organizer

[bleak egret]

its the zone. dont like the prices? craft your own meds.

[grand willow]

Sick. Thank you

[jagged lance]

only buy medicine from medic npcs

[hoary veldt]

Or the ecologists

[plucky narwhal]

Well, did a full update and it still won't let me use the 12ga cleaning kit on the k98 forester

[bleak egret]

#old-bugs

https://tenor.com/view/eww-bugs-eww-bugs-ew-ew-bugs-gif-20566522

[agile prawn]

Whats the easiest way to get a companion? I had a safari hunt quest in Cordon

but after handing it in theyre gone

so im contemplating not delivering that quest

[bleak egret]

befriend their faction

[jagged lance]

rank up too

[bleak egret]

tbh companions kinda suck. better to solo

[jagged lance]

or find a toz-194, 20 rounds of 12ga buckshot and a can of tuna

[cinder valve]

The quest where you need to return the tracking device that was on a mutant bugged out. I've enabled the Debug HUD, but I don't see the task ID anywhere. Where exactly do I need to look to get the task ID of the active quest?

[bleak egret]

Random mission? Or main storyline?

[cinder valve]

Secondary Task.

[bleak egret]

Well, first this

#╭📖faq message

As for the task ID, i have no idea lol

found it

#│🔧troubleshooting message

[cinder valve]

I know all of that

The question is, where on the damn Debug HUD is the active quest ID stated

[bleak egret]

"First you need to get the task ID which can be seen with the debug HUD activated and when you set the quest you want to solve as active." ?

[fallow cliff]

does weapon condition matter to your companions?

[brisk zinc]

No

Don't give them weapons in good condition

[fallow cliff]

kk

[agile prawn]

Whats the closest workbench from Cordon?

[bleak egret]

Farmstead nw of the railroad bridge.

[cinder valve]

The task ID is nowhere to be seen on the HUD, nor can I find any commands which I could execute which would return the TASK ID

I have activated the damn debug HUD and I have set the quest to solve as active, nothing changes

There are literally 5-6 questions in the past few days, and nobody seems to answer the same question: "Where is the task ID hidden" once you activate the debug HUD.

[plucky narwhal]

I can't seem to enable debug menu, is there a trick?

[jagged lance]

is debug mode enabled in the anomaly launcher

[brisk zinc]

#╭📖faq

[bleak egret]

@brisk zinc any ideas about Mr. Frodo's task id thing?

[plucky narwhal]

Got it, sorry.

[cinder valve]

This is the damn debug hud. Nowhere does it list anything that would resemble a "Task ID"

And here is the active quest shown. Is there some sort of a command I need to execute which returns the string of the task ID or what?

[brisk zinc]

Check in #old-bugs, we found the solution to your problem

[plucky narwhal]

Okay, i figured out something too

[cinder valve]

Because this quest is broken. Well, broke. Can't tell if it was broken from the start. The device is nowhere to be found, on the ground, nor on the mutant. Literally went to do it the moment I got it from the scientists bunker, via marching the long walk. Still, reloaded and all, and the quest remains bugged

[brisk zinc]

I think I know that quest

For me it was a blind dog

Obviously no PDA/tracking device

[cinder valve]

I checked all of the surrounding mutants. I can now only enable the PDA debug HUD to track all of the mutant squads and eliminate them one by one

[brisk zinc]

I "solved" by reloading the game, now I don't remember though if I loaded a save before taking that quest

Because yes it's clearly broken

[cinder valve]

And there is no quest ID for it?

I mean... there must be. Otherwise the game would crash as the object would be pointing to a null

Or whatever it's called in LUA

[brisk zinc]

"First you need to get the task ID which can be seen with the debug HUD activated and when you set the quest you want to solve as active."

Basically it should be:

1. open debug mode
2. select debug HUD
3. set that quest to "active"

[cinder valve]

I have done it. Nothing is in the console, nothing is on the debug HUD

[brisk zinc]

I'm trying it as well, I don't see anything, hm

[cinder valve]

Well, nothing new. I've posted the pictures above which are after I've completed those steps

So at the very least, the #│🔧troubleshooting needs to be updated in that chapter

The most annoying thing I'd hate to do is unpack the anomaly files just to search for the quest description and find the ID that way. But that's way too troublesome

[brisk zinc]

@cinder valve I have an idea

I don't think the debug HUD is needed, just debug mode is okay

Set that quest to active

Right click on it

It should give you the ID

Right click on the "white circle"

[cinder valve]

I will try it with the debug HUD disabled tomorrow. Gonna sleep now. I've already tried it with the debug HUD on. Clicked everthing both right and left.

Nothing came up. Maybe I missed the click box.

[ornate maple]

Does anyone have any experience with this bug where when your gun's not out, you lose the ability to unholster it, along with losing the ability to do a ton of other random shit like saving, pulling your PDA out, checking your inventory?

[hoary veldt]

Ah yup

Classic symptoms of Busy Hands

Save and reload

[bleak egret]

is that the legendary busy hands!?

[ornate maple]

I can at least jump

[bleak egret]

hands, not feet son

[ornate maple]

I can't quicksave or hard save despite being on top of a fire

[jagged lance]

type "save" in the console

[ornate maple]

CTD, based

[jagged lance]

did you do it with the quotes

[ornate maple]

Ah, my bad I tried it w/o the quotations

[jagged lance]

nah you did right

saving works for me idk

[midnight void]

Any tips on where to find this document in Agropom Underground? Searched the entire place and no signal

[bleak egret]

Should be with Strelok's stash room.

[midnight void]

Gonna check there again

[north turret]

Is it a feature or a bug that sometimes when field stripping a gun a part that was at 80% durability will drop down to 1%?

[wary field]

Is there any point to continuing to get ballistic resistance once the bar in your inventory is full?

[plucky narwhal]

I don't recall field stripping reducing the durability. Only puting the parts back in.

[bleak egret]

its a featured bug LOL

[fluid jolt]

which mod is making the anomalies look so nice?

is it a texture pack?

[north turret]

Is it normal for stalkers without helmets to survive 3-4 headshots from rifle rounds?

It feels like I'm playing a hero shooter

[bleak egret]

using AP rounds?

[north turret]

HP

it's their uncovered face

[bleak egret]

... HP does super low dmg to armor m8

[north turret]

Are foreheads armored?

[bleak egret]

like, THE worst ammo

[jagged lance]

dont use hp against stalkers

[bleak egret]

yes, almost always. ppl love dem helmuts in the zone

[brisk zinc]

@north turret read the #│📚manual

You have it in game as well

Open the PDA and read it

[jagged lance]

the character models dont always line up 100% with what theyre actually wearing

[bleak egret]

https://tenor.com/view/monty-python-fixing-helmet-helmet-gif-17521077

[north turret]

Nothing in the manual says that character models will have armor that differs from the visual cues

if I can see blood spatter from this dude's forehead on 3 different hits I just assume I'm not hitting a ceramic plate

[bleak egret]

well, either way, you have the answer

[brisk zinc]

#│📚manual makes you understand the difference between the bullets you have to use and when you have to use them

[bleak egret]

you are using shite bullets. go ahead and use better bullets and a better gun wouldnt hurt. your wep might also be low condition

[brisk zinc]

In general, FMJ are for non-armored targets, HP for mutants, AP for armored targets

This is the easy and quick version

[north turret]

I'm literally in a swat team IRL, I know how bullets work my man. My confusion was to the implementation of the damage model in-game, as headshots on flesh were doing no damage.

But it seems to be that for NPCs the armor is just a blanket value

not tied to specific hitboxes

[brisk zinc]

How would I know that you're in a SWAT team?
Apart from that, my daily struggle is to repeat the same stuff all over again, try to understand me

[jagged lance]

also whats the barrel condish on your gun

[north turret]

93%

if 7% condition loss is doing this I will commit harakiri

[brisk zinc]

Nah don't worry

[jagged lance]

nah you're good

[brisk zinc]

93% is okay

[hoary veldt]

There's sometimes an issue with DICK where some models don't match up with what the stalker is actually wearing

It might be one of those cases

[brisk zinc]

@north turret
Here's a small table comparing the new and old multiplier depending on barrel condition:

[brisk zinc]

Could also be this, yes

[north turret]

lel, switched to 5.45 AP and it still took 4 headshots

whatever mod is dealing with damage is borked

or comically mistuned

[hoary veldt]

If you hit the dude in the head and it makes a tink noise and his head is uncovered

Yeah that's DICK

I've had moment where guys wearing SKAT-9s visually turned out to be wearing Exoskeletons

[azure jewel]

What does the 'fun level' option do in the WPO mod settings?

[brisk zinc]

Different sound when your weapon jams

[azure jewel]

aight thanks

[granite ledge]

Is there a way to restore reshade to default settings like when gamma is first installed? I unticked everything but forgot to screenshot what they were lol oops

[bleak egret]

well, reinstall the game i suppose

[brisk zinc]

I appreciate the help but don't just go "reinstall", people will understand "delete everything and do it again from the beginning"

[bleak egret]

sure, but that is an option

[brisk zinc]

Yes it's an option but I'm not saying "don't say that"

[bleak egret]

lol gotcha

[brisk zinc]

I'll rephrase

Don't say "reinstall"
Use the longer version of it

[brisk zinc]

I don't know if it will work but open the installer and press "Only install GAMMA Addons"

If that doesn't work:

1. Press Update GAMMA data
2. Complete GAMMA installation

[north turret]

are stashes the only places where armor/gunsmith/[insertnamehere] toolkits will spawn?

[granite ledge]

@brisk zinc I will try that, thank you :)

[jagged lance]

yes. green stashes has a guaranteed chance of having a toolkit

[brisk zinc]

[azure jewel]

so i 'accidentally' killed the midnight flea market trader with a... 'well placed bullet on a potential enemy', is there any way to get them back or is he gonna stay dead forever.

yeah that mf staying dead dont answer that

[obtuse timber]

So like how do I level up my traders is it based off of reputation or your trust with that exact trader (Doing jobs for them)

[jagged lance]

goodwill

basically faction rep

[bleak egret]

based off faction rep, every 500 goodwill gets u new goodies.

[obtuse timber]

sweet, so basically just do jobs for your faction in general (Sweating because I decided to play a monolith run for my first G.A.M.M.A run )

[jagged lance]

yessir

[obtuse timber]

Do certain jobs get you more goodwill? Or is one job X amount

[jagged lance]

think it depends on the type of job but i dont know the specifics

[obtuse timber]

Alright so last question, where do I find my good will?

[bleak egret]

PDA tab

Relations i think

[jagged lance]

and theres an exact goodwill values button on the right side

[obtuse timber]

I am looking through my PDA and I'm not seeing it, because I assumed it was there

oh relations? Didn't think it would be there I'll check

[jagged lance]

where did you think it'd be? radio?

[obtuse timber]

lmfao in stats

I'm still not seieng it though I'm a little dumb

[jagged lance]

its the top values

[bleak egret]

so, goodwill has its own row

[jagged lance]

top row

[obtuse timber]

So the 2000?

[jagged lance]

no

[bleak egret]

140

[jagged lance]

top row

it says goodwill on the left

[obtuse timber]

OHHHH

[bleak egret]

lmao

[jagged lance]

so you have 140 goodwill with monolith

🙂

[obtuse timber]

okay thank you

[jagged lance]

np bro

[azure jewel]

Hey how do I repair my gun barrel? I've bought a rifle cleaning kit (not universal) for my AUG A1 but I don't know how to remove the barrel/repair it, and the manual seems to be either outdated or i'm missing something

[brisk zinc]

#╭📖faq

[jagged lance]

if its above 60% you can clean it with the respective weapon cleaning kit by rightclicking

[azure jewel]

Ah, got it

Yeah my AUG's alright again, thanks

[desert robin]

Should Agressor reshade be disabled in MO2? I just did a clean install and it is.

[indigo wasp]

dont know if this is an anomaly or gamma question but, how do you see the songs included in the game? I heard a song that roughly goes ||"Where are all the children that play here, only heaven knows" ... "The firemen were brave". IDK something that sounds lie a tribute song to those that died in the Chernobyl disaster that were fighting the flames||, Sorry fo an odd question

[brisk zinc]

There is a mod for that

Anomaly Radio Extended, something like that

[jagged lance]

last i checked the mod didnt even list the songs

[indigo wasp]

ahh thank you, that narrows it down to that directory at least, ty

[desert robin]

Wasnt there a setting in MCM to display current playing song name? edit: nvm think thats a different thing

[jagged lance]

but ive found playlists on spotify that are the anomaly stations

[indigo wasp]

if you got the playlist link that could help too if ya dont mind

[jagged lance]

also im pretty sure extended only adds faction radio stations

and doesnt change the pda stations

[jagged lance]

just search anomaly radio

[indigo wasp]

aight, thank ya

[brisk zinc]

It's not a "list"

Songs are in there

[jagged lance]

are they named

[brisk zinc]

You just need to open the right folder and listen to them

[brisk zinc]

I just told you it's not a list, no, they're not named

Shazam exist for this reason

[median grail]

does this modpack have vanilla style weapons or modular scopes and attachments like EFP

[bleak egret]

both

[median grail]

neat cheers mate

[jagged lance]

lazy modders smh

[north turret]

sorting seems to be inactive after the update.

[remote night]

So what's the intended way to obtain tools

[jagged lance]

stashes

specifically stashes you have the coordinates for

[remote night]

Thanks

[brisk zinc]

?
What do you mean "inactive"? Grok didn't changed anything about the mod list so I guess it's a mirror issue
Try with 127 NA

[north turret]

yeah i reupdated the gamma and likely is a minor issue.

is it the sortingPlus mod that is responsible for this?

theres a X on it.

[north turret]

okay il try that :3

[nova nacelle]

hello for some reason i can't change the frequency on my rf receiver any ideas?

left click isn't changing the frequency?

[jagged lance]

do you have your knife or gun out

[nova nacelle]

nothing out other than the rf

[brisk zinc]

Let me know, Grulag in #old-bugs had the same issue and he fixed the problem by using that mirror

[hollow beacon]

I thought I saw something that allowed you to change devices ie hand flashlight, detector, geiger counter without opening inventory. How does this work?

[wise sparrow]

it's a mod but I don't think it's in gamma

[hollow beacon]

Ah okay

[jagged lance]

#📎mods-added-for-next-build message

not in yet i dont think

[north turret]

yup its fixed. changing it to 127 NA fixed the Sortingplus. POG

[broken rock]

Hey! I'm new to the server. I may be overlooking something, but is there a list of addons in this pack?

[jagged lance]

#❗welcome

the github has the modlist.txt

[broken rock]

Thank you!

[brisk zinc]

[maiden nexus]

I hope I don't get rotten fruit thrown at me but... can I opt out of the ballistics system? I've run it for a few games now and think I just prefer the vanilla one

[desert robin]

lol did i just get an escort mission from military, as a loner?

never seen that before.... Im guessing some update changed or did something here.

[obtuse timber]

Alright got another question, So I have been playing on monolith line for a bit, and been playing Without Mag redux

Well I decided to try it out on this exact save, and I noticed that it glitched out my current guns where my guns just pull out magazines out of thin air, and then I got a new gun and it seems to be working with magazine redux, but upon trying to reload mags from my loadout, it just does not work, when I shoot a mag completely empty, or partially, I have to go into my inventory to force a reload.

I have seen that this is just causing issues for this save and figured that it would probably be better to just cancel it out for this playthrough, but upon trying to disable the mod and loading the save, it just crashes the game, meaning the mod has already been built into the save, and without it, it is unable to be loaded.

So either, Can someone please help me figure out how to take magazine redux off completely, or fix my mag problem.

Thanks for time for read and answers.

[hazy ridge]

iirc you cannot enable mg redux mid save or take it out mid save
both process will result with completely new play through
i hope some modder can help you

[hoary veldt]

So, I'm really sorry to say this

As far as I know

You cannot remove Mags Redux from an existing save

[obtuse timber]

I was afraid that yall were going to say that

[graceful iron]

left and right click change the frequency

[nova nacelle]

yeah it doesn't do anything tho

[graceful iron]

did you try re-equipping it?

[nova nacelle]

yes

[graceful iron]

do the numbers actually show on its screen? you need to press the detector key to use it

[sterile berry]

how come my traders arent getting new items when i go up a supply level

ive got novikov to supply level 4 but he has the same stuff as supply level 1

[graceful iron]

they are supposed to get more ammo types, more attachments and other items like food

wait who is novikov

which trader?

[sterile berry]

clear sky repair dude

[graceful iron]

you gave him toolkits for his quests to level his supply ?

[sterile berry]

yah

also how do i level just regular traders like spore and stuff, just do missions for them?

[graceful iron]

get goodwill with their faction by doing quests for any faction members or important characters

[limber sorrel]

Is duty expansion sort of stable now since the new update?

[graceful iron]

it got updated ?

cant seem to find anything on any recent updates so i dont think any of those game breaking bugs got fixed

[limber sorrel]

in #📢development

e28abaa Unjaming Reload fix by Lucy - Grokitach
465e96f Dialogs fix for Duty Expansion addon - Grokitach
b629676 Load order fix for Augmented Pack Addons - Grokitach
1044bdc Update G.A.M.M.A_definition_version.txt - Grokitach

[graceful iron]

oh... grok made fixes for it?

[sullen valve]

I got my hands on some nato weapons. I assume that places like Cordon/Rostok doesn't sell the ammo for it right?

😦

[hoary veldt]

Nope

Go talk to Clear Sky and do some elbow grease for them

They'll sell you NATO ammo

[sullen valve]

Great swamps i go then

[sullen valve]

ty, they don't let you buy the ammo outright?

[hoary veldt]

You wanna earn get some of their good ammo, you gotta earn their trust

Just like how you had to earn the trust of Duty/Loners to get some decent ammo

[sullen valve]

gotcha, and thats where I'll be then

[little needle]

What's the trust level for 5.45 ammo?

Want to retire my sks

[hoary veldt]

Ought to be supply level 3

Or 1000 goodwill

[little needle]

Thanks

[sullen valve]

supply level 3?

[little needle]

A ways to go with duty. Not too hard though

[sullen valve]

whats supply level?

[hoary veldt]

Basically the tier a trader is at

It determines what they sell

[little needle]

Ohh wait, I guess night market is loners as well?

[hoary veldt]

Supply level 1 is where you start

[little needle]

So I should head there

[sullen valve]

i'm guessing i gottta do quests for the trader?

[hoary veldt]

Not the trader specifically, just for the faction as a whole

[sullen valve]

is there any difference with supply level and faction rep?

[hoary veldt]

It's the same thing

[sullen valve]

lmao could've led with that

Alright, well my loner rep is MInimal atm

I guess I can't complain too much about the amount of backtracking I do in the starter zones. Helps me get familiar with the area

[little needle]

I hate going all the way back to see sid

[sullen valve]

For my current playthrough I did up the reward factor to 2x

I think the reward money default is like 1.25x?

[little needle]

Is owl considered a loner trader?
