[little needle]

So I went and grabbed it

[graceful iron]

most of the time, yes

[whole sapphire]

Wohooo, after 4th reinstall its working

It was the fckn mirrors

[humble dagger]

@graceful iron hi. ^^ question time. PSI Helmet. How to wear ? I dont get it.

And do i get in Gamma the Since Suite at some Point , cuz i kinda f up my Cloths.

[graceful iron]

you dont need to wear the psy helmet, just leave it in your inventory

[humble dagger]

that simple ^^

[graceful iron]

not sure what you mean by the second question, getting an ecologists suit ?

[humble dagger]

yeah sure

[graceful iron]

what?

[humble dagger]

😄 i love shinaibos . I Rember back then that the Siecn guy in Yantar gave me a ecologists suite. will this happen in Gamma ?

*Sience ( still wrong );D

[tidal raft]

I'll attempt to translate.
"I love Ecologists. I remember receiving an SSP-outfit from Sakharov in Yantar. Does he still give one in GAMMA?"

[humble dagger]

@tidal raft Thank you so much Stalker

[graceful iron]

in what game does he do that? i know some of the other mods for other games had that but not as far as i know in anomaly

[tidal raft]

Might have been from the Bunker in Jupiter from CoP. I don't remember Sakharov handing out outfits in Anomaly—unless it's from ShoC/CS.

[graceful iron]

in anomaly scientists dont give you outfits, same goes for gamma

[humble dagger]

Thx you both. It defently was a Vanilla game but i couldent say wich . SoC Probebly . At some Point at the Story u need such suit to progress. thats 4 sure.

Ok then . Any tipp how to get a good suit in Anomaly /Gamma.

[tidal raft]

Find one and repair it. #╭📖faq #│📚manual

[humble dagger]

👍

[sour seal]

is there a known issue where artefacts on AAM weigh too much compared to individual weights?
AAM weighs around 3 kgs and a full empty is <2kgs
but AAM with full empty is >10kgs

[stoic moth]

Does the area outside the mining complex in red forest always have low framerate?

[charred glen]

Are the recent updates about loadouts affecting starting loadouts, or npc loadout in general ?

[hoary veldt]

NPC Loadouts

[hoary veldt]

It's probably because of the density of the anomalies near there, or at least from what I've observed

[graceful iron]

its in #📎to-do

[rain owl]

What's the best texture and object detail settings for potato PC?

[radiant pollen]

sometimes when I'm looting/trading (npcs and stashes) I see items vanish from the other inventory, is that intentional? I'm assuming it's a mod getting rid of items I shouldn't have access to yet but I want to make sure

[fresh merlin]

They vanish in companion inventory right?

[graceful iron]

yes thats correct, some items get replaced and some get removed

[radiant pollen]

Cool, thanks

[simple cipher]

the "enemies cant see through foliage" mod causes an issue where you cannot aim when crouched in grass, right?

[graceful iron]

no

it just makes npcs "dumber"

[simple cipher]

well, i've turned it off and now the issue doesn't happen anymore

i think the mod actually implements grass as very short objects. the PDA also leans towards the player when entering tall grass, same happens with guns. its like you're near a wall

[graceful iron]

thats not enemies cant see through foliage, thats weapon tilt addon

[simple cipher]

yeah, i get what you're saying

but what i'm saying is that is probably how the "enemies cant see through foliage" is implemented: grass is a short object, and as such, the enemy cant see through it

[graceful iron]

could be actually, i dont know how exactly the cant see through foliage works

[north turret]

should i enable silent kills or is the mod doing it already?

[graceful iron]

you can enable them but they can make fire fights too easy

[north turret]

when sniping mostly?

[graceful iron]

no, you can clear entire bases/outposts without being noticed

[north turret]

i see

So basically it allows you to kill an npc without the whole camp being alerted as long as they don't see him or that no one sees you shooting/killing him?

it doesn't allow you to oneshot an npc, or oneshot if you aim for the head

?

[graceful iron]

not sure if it allows you to one shot headshot with a suppressed weapon but it does allow you to kill someone without alerting everyone else if done correctly

[north turret]

ok i see

do you oneshot npc when aiming for the head by default?

or it depends on guns?

[severe shadow]

Is there a way to change radio frequency other than endless clicking? Can I somehow change the key bind on the mouse wheel?

[graceful iron]

depending on the gun and ammo type

[graceful iron]

you can hold shift to change it by 10 instead of one

[severe shadow]

It depends on your gun, your ammo and the armor the guy is wearing, I think

[dense moss]

no depends if the guy is wearing an heavy armor or not but i can vouch if you have a gun like a sniper that uses an .380 magnum it definitely will take down any guy in one shot in the head

anyone have suggestions in armor?

[north turret]

alright, thank you all

it's a really helpful community, i rarely come across such communities

[dense moss]

good games have good stuff like they say

oh yea you can see the gun damage so anything that is 178 will definitely one shot in the head

[north turret]

i was checking out this video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9bI8r7wJOE

i give some early tips

[dense moss]

bro no need for vids

[north turret]

oh

[dense moss]

well what factions u playing?

[north turret]

loner

wait

it's not called like that

[dense moss]

pffft move to duty for much easier way around

hmm?

[north turret]

i did on stalker anomaly

[dense moss]

ok what faction are you on? duty?

[north turret]

no now loner

it is called like that ^^

[dense moss]

go join duty when you can

its easier to ear money from their missions

[north turret]

i'll try, i have to finish the tutorial and move north-east

[dense moss]

and while earning money you can earn ammo given you want to wipe out half of freedom

alright then

btw can anyone recommend an armor?

im moving up in the north im wondering if i should go for more rad protection or bullet protection since its filled with monolith

[north turret]

yeah i'll probably join them

but for some lore reason, i decided to play loner this time

maybe later in the game

good tips though

[dense moss]

you can play the main lore in duty also

and the agropm or whatever the name of the main duty base is in an ideal spot in the map

[north turret]

Hello there! I need to know how can I turn off the campfire saves? is it even possible?

[dense moss]

Yes by disabling it in the mod manager if im right

[bleak egret]

Just go into MCM and disable what you want via YACS

[north turret]

awesome, thank you guys

[calm tangle]

Bullet

Rad will come with your mask usually.

get a good rad mask, and a good bullet res suit, and you can be somewhat spongy.

don’t forget about metamizole or morphone for damage resistance

[final loom]

Is the ZCP (spelling?) Addon responsible for monolith and Uni in Cordon? Or which mod is responsible for "dynamic squads"?
Cuz monolith in cordon is a bit op only because I don't want access to great guns at the start

[brisk zinc]

@hidden bloom

[final loom]

I remember using ZCP on base anomaly awhile back and it would make entire groups of bandits spawn at one time. Like 10-20 at vehicle depot all grouped up lol

[hidden bloom]

yyes its ZCP

[brisk zinc]

I knew it

It's an inside joke at this point

[hidden bloom]

only if you increased stalker population levels tho, or squad size or such

[hidden bloom]

at this point no one can even tell anymore what ZCP does

literally black magic

[final loom]

Not at computer but I do remember seeing squad size scales but not in the gamma version lol.

Yeah, I had that thing adjusted all kinds of ways with pop/spawns etc and could never pinpoint exactly wtf it was doing.

It never did remove the damn zombies......

[hidden bloom]

that was an older version then i suppose 🤔

those did have some problems with zombies at some point

[final loom]

Yeah this was months ago, probably before even 2.0 efp. Or around that time

[hidden bloom]

many bugfixes since then, as far as I can tell the current version only has very minor bugs

well, I always made sure not to introduce anything that fucks over peoples savefiles at least, unlike dynamic mutants or other shit mods

[stoic moth]

What can I do to reduce load times as the game goes on?

Or is it just being caused by my stashes?

[royal oxide]

What's better? Thales F90 or L85 A2 Tactic?

[brisk zinc]

Having the game on SSD helps a lot

Don't play it for hours, close it from time to time

[brisk zinc]

IIRC yes

Try to not stash all the stuff you can find

[stoic moth]

Damn that goes against my loot goblin tendencies

Alright thanks. I already have it on an Ssd so I guess it's time to clear my stash

[brisk zinc]

Always IIRC we're talking about big numbers

Like 10000 item ID or stuff like that

[stoic moth]

I've got a couple thousand gunpowder

[brisk zinc]

That should be fine but again I'm not entirely sure

[strange ledge]

are extra gunsmith tools and medicine making tools just for selling?

[stoic moth]

I keep 2 or 3 to give to other mechanics and medics. Theyre worth more that way than just selling them

[left plume]

This question is for anyone that uses the addon looting takes time. Has anyone ran into any issues with this mod? Issues as in stuttering when holding SHIFT and transferring anything from a body to your inventory same with a stash? Also loosing a lot of FPS when your open your inventory and are in a trader inventory/your stash as well?

[brisk zinc]

You can sell gunsmith tools

Keep one

Mechanics don't ask for them

[low dragon]

any known way to fix the broken quest Last Dawn : Find Scar? marker vanished and scar isnt there

[brisk zinc]

Another dude had the same problem, don't remember if he asked here or in #old-bugs, still without solution from what I remember

[low dragon]

Yes I saw that from the search 😦

[simple cipher]

can companions pick up artifacts?

[gleaming robin]

Is there a way to extract Modifications from damaged suits ?

[topaz berry]

idk if its a bug

but my game crashes at start

[tidal raft]

@simple cipher No.
@gleaming robin Yes, random amount of upgrades will be extracted when disassembling them.
@topaz berry Post your crash log.txt in #old-bugs

[topaz berry]

fixed it by updating, my bad

[fresh merlin]

does anyone know how / which mods in Gamma changed the AI?

and do you have ways / personal settings to make the AI better (in terms of strategy and not aimbotting)?

[dense moss]

any good armor you can recommend?

[calm tangle]

Hmm not off the top my head no. Anything that has 35> BR is probably good though

Skat9 armours are probably the best Pure damage resist armor.

[dense moss]

alright thanks

[fringe coral]

what do i need to disable in hit effects to get rid of sounds when shooting npc's? just hide the whole sounds folder?

[strange ledge]

anyone know where to look for the "stalker base" stash?

[brisk zinc]

Stalker base?

[strange ledge]

It's a stash named as "stalker base" in agroprom

It's near a pipe and a tree near a wall according to the map but I cant seem to find it

[tidal raft]

You do know that stash names are randomly generated, right?

[strange ledge]

ah F

I didnt know that

[fresh merlin]

can you print screenshot

[strange ledge]

shall I send an ss?

[tidal raft]

No. I know which one it is.

Jump down onto the pipes you see above. There's a ladder to the roof on the same wall they connect to—walk on them to the tree.

[strange ledge]

ooo

ty

[dense moss]

having the same problem lol

[final loom]

I find putting it on an SSD works wonders, however thr longer I play the more time it takes so I take an hour or so break when I'm really in the mood for it.

[brisk zinc]

You can just close and reopen right away

[dense moss]

Does anyone knows anything about the scar artifact?

[brisk zinc]

You can't get more generic than this

[dense moss]

XD

Nvm i just found out myself with an demonstration

[brisk zinc]

IIRC you have a description in game as well

If you want a "demostration", I can't help you with that

[dense moss]

Im just asking about the things it will do since it did not specify

[dense moss]

Nah i was using it and now i know what random things it will do

[brisk zinc]

You wanted to know about the crazy stuff it can do then, okay, now I get it

[dense moss]

Yea it scared the living hell out of me

Can anyone recommend a good gas mask?

For rads

[willow hawk]

check their stats by holding left control key

[sleek rune]

Hey, does anyone know how to add custom radio stations? 🙂

[fallow cliff]

I read in the manual you can get the Basic tier 1 kevlar plate from quest or craft it does it mean some quest gives the recipe for it because i dont have the basic recipe

[brisk zinc]

There was a conversation about this but I can't remember now how to do it, it's possible, try to use the "search" button

[sleek rune]

thank you!

[brisk zinc]

Sorry I can't help you any further

But it's possible 100%

If not "radio", "songs" is definetely possible
Maybe radio as well

[sleek rune]

its all good, ill try to find the previous discussion ❤️

[brisk zinc]

IIRC you can get one from quests for CS

For the recipe I'll try to look

[fallow cliff]

i got the advanced ones but cant craft them without the basic one

[queen torrent]

hey guys, im currently trying to repair a mossberg i found in a raid. (im a merc started in their main base) so currently i have a 100% barrel im trying to attach but it says i cant do that in the field. Im guessing i need a work bench, toolkit and a shotgun repair kit for that?

And also, is there any use for a bolt that has 57% durability? At 60 i could use a file to repair it but as of right now (supply level2) my dude doesnt sell anything that repairs things under 60% durability

[brisk zinc]

I can't find them either

[sleek rune]

what does "gamma fdda rework" do? is it stable to install it? is the "Gamma NPC cannot see through foliage" safe and stable too? don't wanna destroy my game but just been looking over the addons that i didn't enable before 🙂

[brisk zinc]

Everything under Disabled needs to stay disabled, that mod is about animations

You can enable the one about foliage, yes
It's disabled because now the Zone is basically dead

[sleek rune]

ah okay, i'll leave the disabled ones alone then, thank you!

[queen torrent]

oh shit.. i have the angry chimera growl on, did i done goofed now? Or should i just deactivate it?

[brisk zinc]

You can disable it, it shouldn't be a problem

[brisk zinc]

For this, we have an extensive guide in #╭📖faq, even a video

[queen torrent]

alright, thanks

[queen torrent]

ah my bad, thanks again!

[brisk zinc]

To answer your question very quickly and very badly

You can replace everything in your gun

Except the barrel

For the barrel, you need a toolkit and a repair kit

is there any use for a bolt that has 57% durability

You can clean it with a cleaning kit or a tool that lets you repair it

[queen torrent]

ah alright, watching your vid anyway now. Cant hurt to know how everything works :D

[queen torrent]

i actually didnt try that yet... thanks yet again!

[brisk zinc]

The video is pretty good, the image have everything you need to know

[dusty lintel]

how long would it take to get to endgame?

[radiant pollen]

Depends where you start, how lucky you are, how good you are, how easily distracted you are, whether you rush the psy helmet etc etc

[bleak egret]

depends on the difficulty settings, whether you fast travel or not... loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooots of factors

[north turret]

Ok is 40+ stashes not containing Expert Tools normal? becuase its kinda getting to the point where its like a bug or something.

[hoary veldt]

Are you looting them in the south or the north?

Areas at Red Forest level and above, specifically

And yes, it's all dependent on RNG

[brisk zinc]

I'm not exactly sure what I need to do here

Army Warehouse

[mild trout]

I had that quest and it autocompleted as soon as I stepped in army warehouses

[brisk zinc]

Well then

https://tenor.com/view/will-smith-yaaah-yaaaaa-you-tube-rewind-its-time-gif-17139385

https://tenor.com/view/will-smith-rewind-time-happy-gif-14810665

[north turret]

its been south and north togethee, but mostly south, like 15 stashes in army warehouse alone and nothing, im not getting many north stashes.

[hoary veldt]

Experts can only be found in the more northern areas

Red Forest, Radar, Limansk, and above

Below them, you can only get Advanced and Basic toolkits

[north turret]

alright, i have tow stashes in Radar, should i risk it?

[hoary veldt]

I've heard people have good luck finding Experts in Radar, and I myself just chanced two stashes while nearly overweight and did indeed get my own set of Experts for this run

[north turret]

hmm, ok radar it is then!

[strange ledge]

where do I go to buy NATO supplies (magazines, upgrade kits, replacement parts)?

[north turret]

mercs probably

[hoary veldt]

At the NATO traders

#│📚manual message

Check here for said list of trader factions

[brisk zinc]

@hoary veldt do you know anything about this?

[hoary veldt]

[strange ledge]

the clear sky guy is worthless af, he's got mostly warsaw with a couple nato items

[hoary veldt]

I presume this is killing a set of spawned enemies in AW, maybe the spawned squad you need to kill wandered off elsewhere?

[brisk zinc]

I can see four Freedom there but they're obviously neutral/friendly to me
As soon as I got the quest I went there

[hoary veldt]

I mean, he sells me NATO ammo and gear but I have max goodwill so

Regardless of that, he should still sell you NATO stuff if you raise their goodwill

[mild trout]

@brisk zinc if the Duty guy gave you that quest you probably need to kill them

or just wait until they die

i'm guessing

[hoary veldt]

Those four said freedomers are probably your kill targets

[strange ledge]

Is there something special I need to do to advance past supply lv 5? It seems like ive been on this level forever

[mild trout]

"storm the enemy"

[brisk zinc]

I tried to do it but apart from making enemies practically the whole faction + having some ? on the map, nothing happened

[mild trout]

that's really weird

killing them should complete it no

[hoary veldt]

You're at the max, so I dunno what else to give you

[brisk zinc]

5 is the max level

[hoary veldt]

What are you looking for, specifically?

[strange ledge]

7.62 barrel, magazines, sig p226 mags, UMP mags

It's as if I have every other thing except these

[hoary veldt]

Personally don't play with mags, but last I recall those types of mags were sold by the Mercs

7.62 barrels can be at any tech, afaik

Just kind of check around and see

Maybe Peregrine at Yantar has one

[strange ledge]

right, ty

[mortal flame]

parts sold by tech are random and it's changing when restock time come

[tropic vector]

would moving gamma to my ssd make it stutter less

kind of a stupid question but i just wanna be sure before i do it all over again

[mortal flame]

it's helping with loading stuff and saves, level changes, but ingame sutters... idk

some could say it is, but when im comparing my and my brother game (i have on ssd, he's got with his pc on hdd) it's mostly about loading time, with really noticeable diff

[brisk zinc]

@mild trout @hoary veldt Apparently I had to kill those four people + the ? on the minimap

[hoary veldt]

Yeah, that sounds about right

You did it

You murdered

[dense moss]

XD

Is murder bad?

[radiant pollen]

I'm on SSD and it hangs up every now and then (I just pray it doesn't crash) but not too often. there are some issues if you're AMD as well

[radiant pollen]

Depends if you get caught

[dense moss]

And uh...is killing the whole freedom guys in the army warehouse still murder?

I did no get caught tho they all died 😁

[radiant pollen]

then who can say, I think you're innocent

[dense moss]

Yay 😁

[mortal flame]

not real question, but maybe it fits here: what do you think is harder to play, less stalker population (less stuff to find but smaller firefights) or higher population with more looting but also bigger firefights? xD

[dense moss]

Very nice

[dense moss]

Bruh go play as bandit than raise that thing to the max

Its easier the less fire fight you get in to since most of the guys they tell you to kill in missions have good guns already

[severe shadow]

Dushman in Dead City at supply level 3 is not selling me M4 ammo, where can I buy them?

[hoary veldt]

Did you refresh the trader?

[dense moss]

You need to lvl up the merchant

Up to lvl 4

I think

[mortal flame]

well, i want some challenge but with story mode, so im looking at duty this time, because of no barrier defence + no aslan lottery and no more looting monolith in limansk

[dense moss]

My 5.56 came out at lvl 4

[dense moss]

Play freedom

And raise population in almost max

[mortal flame]

nah, i did merc run and after disabling brain thing it's just like freedom with extra steps

[dense moss]

Most of the lower lvl have duty on them

[mortal flame]

• aslan lottery is really op

limansk looting too

yep, im playing for too long xD

[dense moss]

Or better yet

If you want hell

Turn up the accuracy of the bots

To the point that you'll question your own self on why you're still breathjng

[mortal flame]

i want to make it little bit harder but still fair

[dense moss]

Just raise it a bit

[velvet mantle]

Is there anyway to make the geiger counter beep again when close to radiation areas? As well as Dynamic radiation areas?

[dense moss]

Turn the population half and lower down the population of mutants for realism

[mortal flame]

for ,,realism'' zone should be VERY populated and green af, but we're not here for realism

[bleak egret]

realism

[dense moss]

There's no way that a army of dogs just exist there along with a army of cats

[bleak egret]

Man has no problem with magical rocks and mutants

Dogs and cats?! TOGETHER?

Absolutely not

[mortal flame]

well, i guess i will just start as dooty with doubled population slider for start... and maybe give myself ppsh as starting weapon, lol

[bleak egret]

eh

double population just means more loot

i wouldnt call it harder

[mortal flame]

so you recommend to do it the other way? make it half?

[bleak egret]

i wouldnt touch it tbh, grok dun balanced it pretty well

you playing on hardest difficulty ya?

[mortal flame]

yep

[bleak egret]

could try ecologist

with only melee

artifact king.

[versed dune]

Im getting stutters / frame drop while walking or a group of other stalkers walking. Any fix?

[mortal flame]

it started to be like that after some update, or just this is how you started? maybe try lowering some graphic things

[radiant pollen]

how is ISG as a starter?

[bleak egret]

#old-framerate-optimisation

[versed dune]

Im assuming its core 0 since Ive done at least have of the things said in #old-framerate-optimisation

[radiant pollen]

seems weird that it's only when walking though

[north turret]

hey do any of ya know what Anamoly Redux is? i found it from a russian youtuber and its told its diffecult but there is no general information of it anywhere just some download links to a game idk what it contains, if anybody can give me a breakdown of it and if its worth trying.

[idle storm]

Where can I find my crash logs?

[past elk]

appdata logs

[idle storm]

And where exactly? I have no Stalker nor Gamma folder in either appdata folder

[mortal flame]

appdata in anomaly folder

[idle storm]

Also no anomaly folder.

[mortal flame]

so... how are you playing gamma then, if you dont have base anomaly?

[idle storm]

I do.

[mortal flame]

yes, i mean that ,,main'' anomaly folder

[idle storm]

Are those my logs by any chance?

Ah... Okay.

It's this for me: S:\S.T.A.L.K.E.R\Anomaly-1.5.1.2\appdata\logs

[burnt topaz]

Could i use any shader on dx8?

[visual flicker]

Cancerous. You either speed run with shitty equipment to first three objectives or grind Merc rep while working on outfit that will be your future disguise

Personally

I loved it

I would seriously consider addon that allows you to select other factions outfits as ISG. Nothing major, but you avoid most of the boring grind and jump into ordinary grind

[radiant pollen]

Might smash my head against it at some point

[radiant pollen]

Big russian modpack, a la gamma

[mortal flame]

well, isg is meant to be a true challenge

for start, ofc

[north turret]

what do you mean?

[visual flicker]

Mid-game is godly, because you stash various outfits around the map and simply solid snake past enemies and allies who mistake you for enemy.

[radiant pollen]

It's just a modpack, like GAMMA, 150 mods or so

[north turret]

is it good? is it hard? does it have some big changes?

[radiant pollen]

couldn't say

[visual flicker]

Not much is challenging unless you play on ironman. Just lots of reloading untill you fix first outfit

[brisk zinc]

Next time use #╓☢stalker-chat, #🔨base-gamma-support is for GAMMA related questions (I thought that was obvious...)

[bleak egret]

bruh, go find that mod's discord and check it out. im sure its solid, but im not sure you are gonna find a lot of info here

[north turret]

nope.

[brisk zinc]

So it's not obvious to ask questions about GAMMA in the dedicated server for GAMMA but it's obvious to ask about other mod packs in the #🔨base-gamma-support channel of said dedicated server?

Seriously now?

[visual flicker]

"Is GAMMA better then that other thing? Yes, no, why?" :D

[north turret]

its a question, don't get you panties in a twist.

[brisk zinc]

Not a question related to the game

Can someone translate what the last thing he said means?

[bleak egret]

He insulted you, basically

[brisk zinc]

Yes it's a serious question

You know I'm not english

[brisk zinc]

I need to twist my panties?

What kind of insult is that?

[bleak egret]

suggesting you wear panties

[idle storm]

Ah!

[radiant pollen]

don't get your knickers in a twist = don't get worked up over it

[brisk zinc]

Now that's a question

[bleak egret]

its an older insult, but it checks out

[visual flicker]

Yer father sir, was a drunk and a Catholic

[mortal flame]

well, it's questions channel in ,,gamma support'' category, that should be enough, lol

[brisk zinc]

p!mute @north turret 4d disrespectful against a stranger (I don't give a single fuck about being a moderator, I'm a Discord user just like the rest of you), asking shit in the wrong channel (I even ask kindly to do so in another channel next time), told me about wearing panties, insulting in general... four days should be enough, be quiet for several days and learn how to behave or get the fuck out of here manually, I won't ban you

[native gust]

@north turret has been muted for 4 days.

[bleak egret]

elric will not survive the zone

[brisk zinc]

Seriously was that hard to grasp?

[bleak egret]

hes got bandit iq

[brisk zinc]

And again I just asked to write those kind of questions in the correct channel

Since #🔨base-gamma-support is for GAMMA related questions, it's a fucking support channel

Not a "asking point for other stuff to play"

[bleak egret]

hey @brisk zinc what do you speak anyways? french? italian?

[brisk zinc]

Italian, I made that clear several times

[idle storm]

Pizza!

[bleak egret]

i forget

[visual flicker]

Oy, only recently I realized I can turn helicopters on... Still haven't seen any. What do they do? Shoot or just circle around?

[bleak egret]

they circle around while shooting

its a stock anomaly thing

even an achievement for shooting em down

[brisk zinc]

I don't suggest to turn them on

[visual flicker]

Stock Anomaly? Not even once

[visual flicker]

Why

[idle storm]

But don't they all just fall out of the sky in the videos about the game?

[brisk zinc]

Because they still remain "around" even if you disable them

[visual flicker]

Oh

But

I have RPG

[bleak egret]

hes saying they are bugged

[brisk zinc]

I thought Grok removed those from the game (RPG)

[brisk zinc]

Helicopters? Yes, basically

[visual flicker]

So how they are bugged exactly?

[brisk zinc]

"Because they still remain "around" even if you disable them"

Just told you

That's the only bug

Apart from that, you can shoot them

They will shoot you (IIRC)

I don't remember if they actually drop loot

[radiant pollen]

if you turn them on and decide you want them off again... time to restart

[bleak egret]

not that i recall, you just get an achievement for shooting them down

[idle storm]

srsly?

[visual flicker]

Oh geez, if I only saw what you were gesturing at the same time I would got it the first time :P

[bleak egret]

the achievement just makes them weaker

[brisk zinc]

Yes
I don't remember if there is a "okay no more helicopters" but I do know that they stick around

[visual flicker]

But I like the idea of a helicopter scouting the zone

And shooting mutants

So I guess turning them on is... Fine?

[brisk zinc]

Again, yes, you can do that

Just know that they won't go away

[radiant pollen]

it won't be the end of the world

[visual flicker]

Do they shoot military?

[brisk zinc]

You're asking too much
(I don't know, good question, let me know if you see it)

[bleak egret]

just dont turn em on m8

lol

[radiant pollen]

I mean, they are military, no?

[visual flicker]

I think so

But who the fuck knows

[idle storm]

It is a good question, since only millitary could have air support there because it is a restricted air space.

[visual flicker]

Maybe they are just gender fluid people

[radiant pollen]

[visual flicker]

Ok, it's an old meme

[radiant pollen]

oh

attack helicopters

i gotchu

[idle storm]

Ah!

[visual flicker]

Ffs

I am old

At least 10 years old

[radiant pollen]

at least

[visual flicker]

I mean there are some pretty smart 4 year olds... but not sure those kids are into memes

Anyway, I am still not sure how disguise interacts with goodwill

Sometimes i shoot faction that likes me in the face and no goodwill lose

Sometimes I lose goodwill

Maybe it depends on caliber

[radiant pollen]

I've gone on killing sprees that didn't touch goodwill, I'm not sure how it works at all for negatives

[idle storm]

I have 2 factions hunting me who are at 3000 with me.

[visual flicker]

Frenemies :P

Yea, last session I finished next to loner with sweet looking AK PMC

I mean, I am ISG, I am 2300 with Loners, but I am not sure what is going to happen

[radiant pollen]

if he's alone, murder away

[visual flicker]

I mean, I am taking that AK, I just wonder about goodwill

[idle storm]

Bounty on your head. But no goodwill loss.

[radiant pollen]

nobody will know

it'll be our secret

[visual flicker]

Oh they will know, he has like 3 friends

[radiant pollen]

...grenade?

[visual flicker]

Ye, grenade. Or IED

[brisk zinc]

I think grenades don't do anything

As in = no goodwill lost, no anything lost

[visual flicker]

They aggro npcs so game knows who throws them

Or maybe they just always assume it's me?

Usually it is me

[radiant pollen]

if you're nearby they might know, I think there's a time limit on suspicion

that might just be with stealth enabled though

not sure

let me just throw a grenade in the bar... for science

[visual flicker]

So nobody really knows how goodwill works?

I mean, losing it

[radiant pollen]

I think they know it was me

[brisk zinc]

IIRC if you shot people, goodwill goes down

[visual flicker]

But if I wear disguise of faction that is enemy to people that I am shooting at?

[radiant pollen]

they're not shooting me... just squatting and pointing

[visual flicker]

The other day one loner was just running into me and pointing gun at me

[brisk zinc]

It's because they're suspicious

You just throw a grenade after all

[visual flicker]

When I was ISG and had no disguise, but had 2000 goodwill

[brisk zinc]

They're neutral/friendly to you, hence the squatting down without shooting

They're mentally asking you why did you do that

[radiant pollen]

I'd have shot me, I'm not that forgiving

[visual flicker]

I would too. You wasted like 2000 rubles

[brisk zinc]

• you didn't kill anyone probably

If you kill someone they start shooting

[radiant pollen]

murder = bad
attempted murder = fine i guess

[brisk zinc]

Well I'm neutral/friendly with Freedom

I killed four of them + two guys far from them wanted me dead but the whole faction is okay with me

(It was for a quest)

[radiant pollen]

no goodwill change?

[brisk zinc]

I didn't get any "you lose stuff for this faction", so no, I guess

[burnt topaz]

@brisk zinc After the update i launch the game but it dont open?

any ideia of what it can be?

[brisk zinc]

What did you do exactly?

[visual flicker]

You definitely don't get any goodwill loss from killing companions. I killed enough ISG followers for gun-... I mean treason, to be sure.

[burnt topaz]

After downloading the update i install i try to open the game and it does not open

[hoary veldt]

Did you have mags redux enabled before?

[burnt topaz]

Thank you falco 👍

[idle storm]

That would result in CTD upon loading the save.

[radiant pollen]

falco so good he doesn't even have to say anything

[hoary veldt]

Oh, good point

[brisk zinc]

My man 🤝

What exactly did you press?

[idle storm]

"Show on this doll where he touched you"

[radiant pollen]

he touched my no no button

[burnt topaz]

update gamma

then complete installation

[brisk zinc]

Okay

How many mods enabled do you have?

[burnt topaz]

286 cuase i dont use shaders

[brisk zinc]

How many mods did you have before disabling the ones you don't use?

[burnt topaz]

I don't know exactly

[brisk zinc]

Okay, do this then

[burnt topaz]

but they were less

[brisk zinc]

Check if you have 196 and 197 and let me know

[north turret]

Hello, can someone explain to me the metabolism/medical system. I've read the manual, and watched some videos on youtube, but it still doesn't make sense. So when I look at the hud, I see a white character. I guess that's my general health. Then you have all the small white bars for the different body parts.

What does it mean when the small bars turn yellow? What do I need to make it white?
What does it mean when the small bars turn red? What do I need to make it white?

Sometimes, the screen turns red at different intervals, and my character grunts out of pain. How does that relate to the small bars?

[sleek rune]

red flashing on your screen is bleeding, so bandage. Yellow health is "temporary" limb health. White is permanent

certain meds give yellow and white limb health

They should say it in the tooltips

[queen torrent]

to turn yellow into white you need pain killers

or rather healing item that say "post healing" instead of "first aid"

so for example if your right arm is damaged, you take a first aid kit, then pain killers and the bar should immediately jump to the amount it would have healed over time instantly and turn it white

and i think (im still not sure) if you only use first aid it will slowly go back to what it was before you used the first aid

like a "temporary fix" so to say

[north turret]

just to be clear, the white character is the general health. If it reaches the bottom, my character dies, no matter if the small bars are white, yellow or red?

[brisk zinc]

I guess that's my general health. Then you have all the small white bars for the different body parts.

Yes

What does it mean when the small bars turn yellow? What do I need to make it white?

The yellow bar is "temporary heal", you need to "permanent heal" your head/torso/arms/legs with a white medicine
For example, when your right arm is "red" or "empty", you do this:
Medkit or a bandage (whatever is yellow, temporary) -> Ibuprofen for example (whatever is white, permanent)
Then it depends on what part of your body you need to heal, refer to the tooltip of each medicine

What does it mean when the small bars turn red?

It means you don't have "hp" left in that specific part of your body

Sometimes, the screen turns red at different intervals, and my character grunts out of pain. How does that relate to the small bars?

You're bleeding or you're taking damage, sometime your character grunts out of pain because you're running while your legs are "broken"

just to be clear, the white character is the general health. If it reaches the bottom, my character dies, no matter if the small bars are white, yellow or red?

Yes

[north turret]

Can the temporary heal get removed when I start running?

[brisk zinc]

No, it will however "wear off" because... it's temporary, so the best thing to do is to permanent heal asap

[north turret]

or when I carry too much?

[brisk zinc]

No, same thing as above

[north turret]

ok

[brisk zinc]

Now where's my 💯

[north turret]

wait, i still have questions

i'm rereading your answer

^^

then you get many 💯

^^

if it's red, i use a medkit/bandage to refill the bar, but it will turn yellow?

[brisk zinc]

Yes

[north turret]

ok

!!

[brisk zinc]

Medkit and bandage in particular are "yellow"

[north turret]

so then post-heal white and it's back to white

[brisk zinc]

Yes

Like Ibuprofen (blue bottle)

Or Yadulin (white bottle with a + on it)

[north turret]

if it's red, can i use white directly?

[burnt topaz]

here falco

[brisk zinc]

No

[north turret]

mmm

[brisk zinc]

It's yellow -> white always

[burnt topaz]

lmao at this point i might give up

[north turret]

red > yellow > white

[brisk zinc]

https://tenor.com/view/honestly-what-is-this-a-center-for-ants-rage-pissed-off-gif-17891853

[brisk zinc]

Yes

[burnt topaz]

when i launch

it appears

[brisk zinc]

I can't read it

It's too small

[radiant pollen]

How do I screenshot with so few pixels

[burnt topaz]

Me too

[burnt topaz]

Being poor

[brisk zinc]

af_ah_a2

That fucking error Discord won't let me search

[burnt topaz]

active mods are 286

[brisk zinc]

You're missing mods then

[burnt topaz]

oh

[brisk zinc]

You need to do another Complete GAMMA installation

[north turret]

if I get into a fight with bandits or a monster, but i escape, will they stop aggroing me? If I hide, will they know my location, or is it a 'last seen' location?

[burnt topaz]

ah

so when other update comes i just need to istall addons?

right

[brisk zinc]

I think that if you get out of there, they will stop aggroing you
They sort of have a "last seen" location but Stalker AI is cheaty and everybody knows it

[brisk zinc]

#╭📖faq message

Learn the difference

[radiant pollen]

cheaty is putting it mildly...

[north turret]

that's what I thought, so getting injured/healing is pretty much impossible for a newby like me. I'll have to kill them first and then heal, and use whatever I have and use in my panic mode

[brisk zinc]

The less you heal yourself during a fight, the better

You can just temporary heal during a fight if you want

Just to stay alive

[north turret]

i see

[burnt topaz]

I got it now lmao, thanks falco

[brisk zinc]

Or you can use certain kinds of medicines that make you "tougher" for a while

[north turret]

ok so last questions about radiation/anomalies. Small radiation, water bottle or cigarettes, average to big radiation dose, vodka

?

[radiant pollen]

morphine is good during a fight, healing + resistance

[north turret]

it's expensive, i'm so afraid of buying anything at the trader

i'm only buying what i can get when starting a new game

[brisk zinc]

It depends on the situation

I'd keep vodka for food

And smoke cigarettes like a chimney

[radiant pollen]

I ignore radiation until it goes over 200 msv, then just smoke

[north turret]

but you lose health if you ignore it?

[brisk zinc]

Yes of course, you lose health if you ignore them (sorry I've read that wrong )
You can avoid them and start to worrying when your health goes down or when you start coughing

[radiant pollen]

I never have full health, I live on the edge

[north turret]

damn, i get panic attacks from this game

[brisk zinc]

Welcome to the Zone

And to Stalker in general

[radiant pollen]

It all becomes second nature after a while though

[north turret]

https://tenor.com/view/monolith-preacher-games-stalker-gif-19391373

[brisk zinc]

Yes that's true

[north turret]

going nuts after losing most of my health and using all of my medicine

[radiant pollen]

sounds about right

[north turret]

anyway, thanks a lot

i'm ready for the zone

[queen torrent]

you rarely ever are :D

we all need a falco in our lives

[north turret]

oh that's handy, thanks for the info

[lunar obsidian]

Stupid question. Is there a list of key features in the mod?

[brisk zinc]

#❗welcome

[lunar obsidian]

Thanks. I'm an idiot. I did check it when I joined the server but that was maybe a month ago? My dumb ass forgot about that.

[rocky crane]

Hunting Hogs, what is the best shotgun round? AP slugs, Slugs, or Buckshot?

Or do you just completely not use shotguns all together lol

[plush wharf]

If you're after mutants just go with buckshot. Cheap and extremely effective

[rocky crane]

Cheers.

[radiant pollen]

[versed dune]

So I made sure core 0 is off and the necessary things in #old-framerate-optimisation . For some reason I am still getting stuttering while walking, or a group of people walking. Anyone ever experienced this?

[burnt topaz]

@brisk zinc Thanks man u solved my problem

Im even playing in dx10 now

with sahders and shit

[knotty patrol]

@burnt topaz what did you do?

[burnt topaz]

Just installed everything again

Tried shaders

and boom

I was afraid to try, but i put a lower resolution

and the game is running decent

[final loom]

So I encountered a few errors, fixed them, 292 mods etc, however. Right before this there was an optional backpack animation when opening inventory is that enabled in-game or through mo2? Cuz I can't seem to find it.

And of course things come up so I'm not at comp

[trim bloom]

To my recollection, it’s an in-game, MCM option

[minor star]

MCM option, it's under FDDA

[fresh merlin]

Against mutants, how bad is slug compared to buckshot

And is there like distance beyond which slug is better

[bleak egret]

Buckshot is best. Slug isnt bad, but buckshot is very very good if you have a decent, accurate shotty.

[noble vapor]

why doesnt human npc die to anomalies? i've seen mutants (and of course the playable character) die to anomalies but npcs not

[radiant pollen]

If they did, you'd run out of people to give you missions. Their AI isn't the best, they walk through them all the time

And improving the pathing to the point where they could navigate around them would probably be a bit to much strain

[noble vapor]

its kinda unfair for a monolith to walk in a gravity anomaly (even tho kinda lore "friendly" hahaha jk)

[jagged lance]

its better than the alternative

[radiant pollen]

as with anything there's an addon that will enable it, so if you want to see some monolith get squished, go nuts

[fresh merlin]

so... those mil-spec power supply thing that enemies drop
are they just trash or can I find a good buyer? I already have a PSU

[jagged lance]

sell em

ez dosh mate

[versed dune]

for some reason Im hearing the radiation ticks and slowly losing health, but no radiation symbol is shown..

[knotty patrol]

How long do you guys take to play through this? I feel like I'm spending way too long in Cordon and not finding any upgrade kits. I have all these shotguns/rifles/snipers but can't do anything. I don't even have basic toolkit, and all the stashes on my PDA are in far away zones any advice?

[final loom]

Honestly it should vary

Don't feel ashamed for taking "too long". This is YOUR game, take it at your pace

Honestly i have been playing for probably 12hrs on current save and have visited garbage twice, swamps once and cordon the rest of the time.

[knotty patrol]

Yeah, I definitely don't feel bad, I'm enjoying the slow burn. I just want to make sure I'm not doing anything wrong or missing something obvious. It seems like the progression opens up with better toolkits (hunting stashes).

I've been playing maybe a week, few hours a day, and I still only have basic Sunrise armor and mask, and some 9x19 pistol.

But my stash is full of broken armor and guns, heaps of parts, etc.

But I'm also leveling up I guess, and the patrols and mutants are getting harder

[mystic finch]

Yeah take your time mate if you really want those basic tools keep doing missions eventually you'll get a green stash location and hopefully it will be your basic tools

[radiant summit]

Uhh, I have the mission of finding a hard evidence of a conspiracy, but I think I sold the X16 documents before I got the quest

Did I screw myself?

[graceful iron]

you can get them from the debug menu

[radiant summit]

How do you do that? What's the command?

[graceful iron]

you need to enable debug mode and the in game press f7 and spawn the documents from the menu

#╭📖faq for enabling debug mode #╭📖faq message

[astral wigeon]

what font is this?

[charred quarry]

I've been playing for a little while now. I did the first last dawn quest with spore where you get the scanner just to the north west of the base and give it to him and now nothing. Am I supposed to get another quest from him or am I missing something?

[graceful iron]

the next one is triggered after a while, you will get a pda message to find a scout

[charred quarry]

Thanks, just wanted to make sure I wasn't bugging out or missing something

[fresh merlin]

Stash hunt. Do them. Quests are for stashes which are the only way to get tools

[knotty patrol]

Ok thanks. Separate question, is there any loss with disassembling ammo? Or is it like a 1:1 for components, so you can freely disassemble & craft ammo without worrying?

[fresh merlin]

Little loss for fmj ammo. More for HP. AP is high cost

[sullen valve]

Is there a way to change my character's voice to Engrish?

I know there was a setting for the profanity to be in english when my gun jams

[brisk zinc]

Playing as a Merc is the fastest way and I know it's a mod that change the voice for that faction
I don't know how it would be possible to put it on a russian character, probably moving mods would be enough

[knotty patrol]

Thank you

[fresh merlin]

how is the ks-23 in gamma currently?

worth getting or fixing?

[willow hawk]

So so. I need to buff it

[echo patrol]

in this mod pack does the enhanced shaders include the color grading part?

also, i see some reshades require inputting console commands, does clicking on clear shader cache on the launcher take those values back to default?

[sullen valve]

Is there better holographic optics than this? I feel like the 2nd dot under the center is really distracting

[willow hawk]

Yes. And no clear shader cache doesn't do that. Complete install does.

It's stored in user.ltx file

[echo patrol]

thnx, i just input some and tried to clear cache now my game looks like this good thing i backed up the user.ltx

[fresh merlin]

be careful that the content of overwrite\bin in Gamma folder, will overwrite the content of Anomaly's bin folder. So you want to put reshade ini files into overwrite\bin. And while the game is running, don't try to change the contents of overwrite\bin.

[sullen valve]

Is there bullet drop in stalker?

[fresh merlin]

of course

[sullen valve]

I feel like I’ve always hit my targets dead on even without leading my shots

[fresh merlin]

you notice this most with subsonic rounds

because supersonic bullets are meant for targets much further away

you will see this more clearly when you are at sniper range or use subsonic ammo

[willow hawk]

The distances in game aren't big

Maps are small

And rifles are made to shoot far away

The ballistic drops of ammo is pretty accurate

It's just that your usual online shooter game isn't realistic at all

Like Battlefield is completely ridiculous

Having to shoot above something at 100m with a 5.56, excuse me

[fresh merlin]

however, even though there isn't much drop, the bullet damage seems to decrease unless you use sniper rounds. it's the air resistance stats.

[willow hawk]

5.56 in a M4

It starts dropping at little bit at 200m

Now check distances up to 200m in game

There's almost none, maybe in Zaton ?

It should be noticable at 300m and it it's noticable at 300m in game

[sullen valve]

I'll just switch to the Red dot, much easier to see my target

[willow hawk]

That's for 9x39

There's also barely any drop IRL at 100m

[fresh merlin]

it's not the red dot that I like here, but the absolutely thin frame that does not obstruct vision. makes using those other chunky sights horrendous

[sullen valve]

I can deal with the chunky frame, its when the reticle itself gets in the way. Now I'm just purposefully punishing myself for no reason

https://youtu.be/EJvH635egVk

[visual flicker]

lol battlefield 😛

[fresh merlin]

and what do you think about this

[sullen valve]

red > green

[fresh merlin]

I don't mind any color tbh

[sullen valve]

It's basically the same, but yeah I think i like squad's better

I dunno maybe because his graphics look alot nicer and smoother than my game

it's easier to shoot with

[fresh merlin]

not really, I think the iron sight in the holo sight in that video blocks more

[graceful iron]

XRay doing things

Is this a new game ?

[final loom]

Lovely xray.

Yes.
Did a few, not all of the performance tweaks just to see and am averaging about 50-80 depending on what I'm looking at.

If I go by cheeki breekis efp 3.0 performance guide it jumps to 120+.

I seem to be testing things more than playing...damnit....

[brisk zinc]

Lower you grass

[final loom]

Grass is lowered to zero. First thing in any game. Kinda used to that look since gaming on Intel HD graphics for 10 years

[radiant summit]

Do you need anything extra to get into the brain scorcher?

[brisk zinc]

The psy helmet IIRC

[final loom]

Besides the usual psy helmet? Iirc?

[radiant summit]

I do have it

[brisk zinc]

Go for it then

[radiant summit]

I've done X16 already and disabled the miracle machine

[final loom]

Psy meds I'd say, and ammo

[brisk zinc]

BS is after MM

[radiant summit]

Not really, because when I get very near the brain scorcher I get the "dangerous psy field detected" message

And it lowered my psy bar

[willow hawk]

Do you have the basic psy helmet ?

You need the fully calibrated one iirc

[radiant summit]

It is the fully calibrated one

[radiant summit]

also hi man, I'm loving your mod

[graceful iron]

you got to the spot on the train tracks where the emissions are the strongest ?

[willow hawk]

[radiant summit]

yeah.

[willow hawk]

You need to disable the BS to go there

[radiant summit]

Like almost under the antennas

[graceful iron]

dont walk over that spot, its where the emissions start and nothing can protect you from them

[radiant summit]

huh

[willow hawk]

You don't need to go there anyways

[graceful iron]

disable the actual scorcher first, its in an underground lab

[radiant summit]

The one in radar

right?

[graceful iron]

yes

[willow hawk]

Yes

There's the train track going in a tunnel, that's where you need to go

[radiant summit]

I don't recall going to that place you told me, but I'll try again, maybe I hit a very bad spot of psy

[willow hawk]

And when going in the lab, you'll have a timer

[final loom]

Would anyone like a port I've "finished"? its a shitty looking AK with no dust cover and wanted to do some extra testing with it

[sullen valve]

If I do the story, the mercenaries will leave me alone?

Because I haven’t really done any of the story yet, and I feel like going north is more of a headache

[graceful iron]

what faction are you?

[sullen valve]

Loner

[graceful iron]

why would the mercs leave you alone?

[willow hawk]

Mercs will have your butt

[radiant summit]

we will harass you non-stop man just give up

[sullen valve]

I may be mis remembering but someone said if I did a story mission, they’ll be chill or something

[graceful iron]

thats the other way around

[final loom]

maybe ask super politely?

[graceful iron]

if you are a merc and disabled the brain scorcher the loners will leave you alone

[radiant summit]

holy shit really?

[graceful iron]

yes

[sullen valve]

Anyways is there a friendly faction base up north to set up a safe setup

[graceful iron]

yanov in jupiter or the shadovsk in zaton

[willow hawk]

In AW it's pretty chill as a loner

Duty and Freedom leave you alone

[sullen valve]

Zaton janov, gotcha

[willow hawk]

Ah in the north, yes Zaton

[sullen valve]

Yeah I’ve been doing some shit jobs for freedom to get access to nato ammo

[radiant summit]

go to dead city

[sullen valve]

They have me fucking traveling across the world

[graceful iron]

AW is good but not always north enough for certain things, also as a loner mercs and bandits might send squads after you

[willow hawk]

Who needs NATO ammo

All you need is 7.62x39

[radiant summit]

Fuck man I've crafted 500 5.56 bullets already

[sullen valve]

Nah bruh, have you seen the Ak optics? Looks like shit compared to ar15 tacticool gunporn

[willow hawk]

Actually I'm planning on buffing 9x39 FMJ to 30 AP

[gentle sorrel]

imagine not being able to read a PSO

[sullen valve]

I dunno how you get access to so many crafting parts

[radiant summit]

I uhh

[sullen valve]

I hardly get any, maybe once every two days of mission grinding

[radiant summit]

I bumped a little bit the ammo drop count, that's all

[sullen valve]

I can craft like 30

[willow hawk]

AKM Alfa takes NATO scopes

AKM ISG as well

[sullen valve]

When i get access to those, I’ll try ‘em

[radiant summit]

Is the Strelok loadout win possible in gamma?

[willow hawk]

Disassemble ammo ?

[sullen valve]

Oh yeah, I completely forgot about that feature

Thank you

[willow hawk]

Then craft new ones

Buy shit ammo from traders and disassemble them

[sullen valve]

Saved me a couple rubbles and trips back from shitty swamp land

[willow hawk]

Like 9x18 FMJ or buckshots for pistol powders

7.92 for red powder (biggest NATO Advantage)

Green powder can't really be bought

But usually these ammo are found everywhere anyways

[final loom]

hey @willow hawk have you considered adding Raven800's compass mod? probably wrong channel actually

[willow hawk]

It's already in

As an optional

[final loom]

wait really?

no one saw that, I'm dumb

[graceful iron]

they already use artefacts or do npcs sometimes just put artefacts in application containers ?

[radiant summit]

Seeing how they have 500 guns in their inventory sometimes, I guess they could just store them

[fresh merlin]

from the radio chatter they say they pick up artefacts. have never seen it but possibly

[graceful iron]

i know they collect artefacts but never seen them store the artefacts in application containers

[willow hawk]

They store them

Container is random iirc

[dusty lintel]

can i disable campfire saves?

[graceful iron]

in the mcm yes

[sullen valve]

Psy helmet is a belt attachment right? I don’t have any to check

[strange ledge]

If I want to move the game to another drive, do I need to install it again from scratch or will it validate and reacquire any missing files?

[mystic finch]

These were designed for long range? They don't seem very comfortable at long range the sight is far too small

[graceful iron]

its an item that stays in your inventory

[mystic finch]

I'm using it it's not a bad option actually

[sullen valve]

Oh thank god, I don’t have any armor sets that require belt attachments

[mystic finch]

What are you using?

[hexed kayak]

soo, I might just be blind here, but is there a meter for your psy-health? or do I just have to guess how long I can survive in this?

[jagged lance]

its the top bar on your health hud

[mystic finch]

I have one

[jagged lance]

the one made of squares

[hexed kayak]

AH, alright, thanks c:

[mystic finch]

it's labeled Psy

[tacit magnet]

what factions should i farm to try and get an m700?

I am a loner

[mystic finch]

sorry I goofed you can't buy weapons in Gamma you need to find them on dead stalkers or in stashes so for the m700 you would have to farm nato stalkers or get lucky with a stash

[civic wharf]

Alright I'm legit desperate at this point.
I have reinstalled twice from different mirrors, disabled core 0, edited the registry to increase GPU processing, undervolted my GPU, disabled steep parallax and tesselation and whatever fucking else I've found could help and my game still randomly crashes due to driver timeouts, sometimes as bad as every 5 minutes (for example X16)

I don't know what to do, I really don't

do I try to play on DX9 before I completely give up and go back to vanilla Anomaly or what

[brisk zinc]

No

Only DX8, DX9 doesn't work with GAMMA

I guess you already tried with #╭📖faq about AMD?

(do you have an AMD GPU?)

[strange ledge]

Where is this stash? (the one my character is on) location: wild territory

[civic wharf]

Yes, tried everything I could find in faq
could send you my modlist but I haven't changed anything since I reinstalled

[civic wharf]

post a screenshot of where you are, I have an idea but not sure

[mystic finch]

That could be in the anomaly tunnel near the helicopter if so good luck it's nuts down there

[grand canopy]

Where's the third artifact you need to find for the ecologists in the wild territory?

Only two are marked on the map.

[royal oxide]

In the underground tunnel most probably

[strange ledge]

Is that a separate area?

[paper sable]

Isn't it on top o that that tower? The underground tunnel doesn't stretch that much

[civic wharf]

that's either in the underground tunnel (look for a road down to a sort of underground garage near the helicopter) or climb the tower (should be a campfire nearby), parkour on the thin wall closest to it and look under the corner of the roof of the small building that hugs the campfire opposite the tower (has chemical anomalies)

[keen field]

Anyone can help me with this issue: I repaired myself an AK with underbarrel grenade launcher. But now, when pressing the ammo selection hotkey to select AP ammo, i only ever get the selection of grenades for the launcher, not ammo for the gun. Even when i take the underbarrel launcher off! Any ideas?

[civic wharf]

playing on DX8 atm and no crash or stutters in 20+ minutes

also if anyone knows how to get to this because I have no idea (it's on the roof of the boiler room near where you can jump the hole in the wall inside the complex)

[mystic finch]

I believe for this one you need to take the side entrance to the plant see the two tiny buildings to the south? There should be a broken wall somewhere around there then follow the path you should be able to get to the roof from this path you will just have to figure it out just don't jump over the wall at the end.

[civic wharf]

@strange ledge I'm in Rostok rn so took a screen for you, not sure if it's the same as yours but there IS a stash location there

[graceful iron]

you climb a destroyed wall and follow the red line and then climb the boxes you will see, jump from there to the roof of the boiler room

[dusty lintel]

my game just crashed when i slept

[civic wharf]

so it is from that side of the wall where the boxes are, I thought so, ty

[strange ledge]

Thanks guys, it was in the tunnel underground

[north turret]

I have a broad question about the general flow of play:
I always had trouble keeping up with all the many small items in Anomaly, especially the weapon and outfit component parts, and the many repair items including those that repair or bolster each other. Then there's all the small items that seem to be useless but work as crafting ingredients. It's a lot to keep up with and I often don't know what to sell and what to hold onto.
My question is less "what do I sell" and more about what I keep with me, I guess?
Like is the basic flow of gameplay to dump all your parts, components, repair items, kits, and so on into a box at whatever base you've decided to live at, near a vice, and then only keep your actual useable items on you + a few small repair items to top off your gear as you go?
When you loot corpses, do you just break down every weapon/armor you find unless you think it can be repaired to be better than what you have now? Or do you mostly just not loot them at all and only pick them up if they have well maintained parts on them you can strip out?
I know this is kinda vague but I'm just not really sure what the game expects of me when it comes to looting and hoarding and what'll bite me in the ass down the line.

[stable stag]

Designate a stash near the faction you're friendly with to store components. Strip weapons of yellow components, and outfits of anything 50%+. Attachments are big money, sell to the medic as they pay more than traders. Disassemble electronics for stuff to make a decent detector with. Metal fragments are used for upgrades. Not terribly important. Grease too. Any weapons/outfit you like the look of are also worth taking to your stash.
I've never really needed to carry much in the way of weapon repairs, only a few bits. Outfit repairs you'll want to keep a bit more of.

[solemn lagoon]

I keep a lot of components, and dissemble everything early game, then as I progress I start keeping only 85% or better later, and I offload all toolkits and repair items in a stash, I even dissemble all ammo I know I won't be using.

Every now and then I clean crap out, I'm the same with excess meds, when I have an excess of cash, I'll top up on everything and keep a surplus in a bag.

Only keep what I need on me as well as a couple extra things like Panic Button meds, such as the Survival Kit, or a Rebirth.

[final loom]

Npcs still won't touch your stashes right?

[graceful iron]

something to note is part and junk icons have small indications that they are used for crafting if you are using the base gamma icons pack

[graceful iron]

no #│📚manual

[willow hawk]

sleep elsewhere, like in another map. A lot of stuff happens when sleeping, and it can crash your game rarely

[north turret]

is that the hammer + wrench icon?

[graceful iron]

yes

[north turret]

Thanks, this helps a lot. So basically when it comes to looting, grab most things except armor and weapons, and only grab armor/weapons if you either want to start using them (after repairs), or if they have yellow+ parts in them to strip out.

and I assume it's much naturally easier to carry a disassembly item and do that on the spot than to carry around entire weapons and outfits

[graceful iron]

yes, a multitool is the most efficient and having 2 sharpening stone sets is usually more than enough

[wooden belfry]

Is there a way to adjust artefacts degradation rate?

[graceful iron]

in the mcm for perk based artefacts. perk based artefacts are the only belt attachments that degrades so dont change any other artefact condition settings

they can cause issues

[wooden belfry]

Gotcha. Thanks. It feels weird how fast they degrade without adjustments

[thick pawn]

has barrikada for the KS-23 been disabled? KS-23 only shows it takes shrapnel-25 nothing else, and no traders are selling barrikada, but if i press Y to change ammo thats when barrikada shows. wierd bug?

[graceful iron]

you can craft barrikada

its been disabled from looting and buying

[thick pawn]

ok, how come when hovering mouse over KS-23 it doesnt say that barrikada is a possible option?

but it does show when i press Y

[graceful iron]

wait actually its still sold at WP factions at higher supply levels. not sure why the gun itself doesnt show the ammo but its still useable

[thick pawn]

righto, im max level longer

legend/loner

ive only checked butcher and duty/petrenko so far

[graceful iron]

they dont sell it ?

[thick pawn]

nope, i swear i saw butcher selling it ages ago before i got KS-23

[graceful iron]

butcher doesnt sell it in gamma

[thick pawn]

yeah even in gamma, i swear i saw him selling it last night or a day ago before i updated

doesnt explain though why KS-23 only says it takes just shrapnel 25 and barrikada only shows in Y

ill see if its actually craftable 1 sec

ah found it barrikada is craftable

just odd that KS-23 doesnt say it can take it, all good though.

[sullen valve]

is the ks-23 even good?

[thick pawn]

well id hope so, it's a 4 gauge shotgun.... its a small flak gun. the soviets actually made KS-23s out of old unused AA gun barrels.

[graceful iron]

sidorovich at level 5

[thick pawn]

havent used it yet, i just got one

sid?

wtf

ill see if my sid has it

[graceful iron]

if its not there you probably messed with something in the economy

[thick pawn]

well ive def touched nothing

everything is default

[tough socket]

can I add michiko's weather revamp without breaking anything?

[graceful iron]

ask in #🔨modded-gamma-support

it probably conflicts with gamma weathers

[tough socket]

alright thanks i'll ask again over there

[sullen valve]

I recently got a svd, but not even the PU scope works with it

[thick pawn]

wow sidorovich is selling 10 barrikada shells at 14k lmao

[sullen valve]

who sells a compatable scope?

[graceful iron]

its really powerful, so the price is the balancing factor

[graceful iron]

you can right click and see the scopes it has in details

[grand canopy]

When a mutant pelt says that it has certain resistances, do I sew those into my clothes or do I stick it onto my belt like an artifact?

[sullen valve]

it said like flash muzzle thingy

[graceful iron]

just put them in your belt slots

[sullen valve]

non of the duty traders have any compatible scopes. and my suppy level is max

[graceful iron]

its the SVDS?

[sullen valve]

svd

and svd98

but svd looks nicer

[graceful iron]

the regular SVD takes WP scopes as far as i know

[north turret]

hello, quick question: what do i need to craft shotgun shells?

[grand canopy]

I figured, but was kind of disappointed. It would be cool to have the ability to literally reinforce your gear by adding powerful mutant hides to it, like swapping out the parts inside of it for mutant parts.

But that's also a bit more monster hunter than I think this mod is going for, lol.

Also, thanks for answering so many questions so quickly! I've had like, half a dozen so far and you've been on the ball almost every time!

[graceful iron]

i think grok has plans to improve mutant pelts at some point

[graceful iron]

a gunsmithing kit and shotgun parts, blue powder, shotgun casing and depending on the type of the shell you want to craft its saboted dart or lead shot

[north turret]

awesome, thank you 🙂

[north turret]

nice infographic, i'll try and let you know

is it worth buying a gunsmith or should i better wait and just buy shells/slugs from the trader?

[graceful iron]

buying a gunsmith ?

[north turret]

gunsmithing tool ^^

[graceful iron]

you get gunsmithing kits from stashes

you cant buy one

[north turret]

i was wondering where the gunsmithing tool is at the trader

..

ok

i have no shells/slugs anymore, so i'll have to buy some, but the trader died

is he going to respawn?

[stable stag]

Unique characters dont respawn

[north turret]

even the trader at the northern farm (cordon?)

[graceful iron]

how did he die ?

no he doesnt respawn

[north turret]

bandits

............................

[graceful iron]

but they dont target him, he is neutral

[north turret]

https://tenor.com/view/awkward-shocked-shookt-omg-dog-gif-13210431

[graceful iron]

unless its a grenade

[north turret]

ok, so i'm left with the other trader at the rookie village

[civic wharf]

So, for whoever is still experiencing crashes on DX11 even after trying everything in faq, I've narrowed it down to two things - either it's the fucking Reshade, or this might help https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases/tag/v1.10.1 (a Vulkan wrapper for DX)
but it's probably just the fucking Reshade, playing for an hour or so without it and zero GPU driver crashes

[final loom]

For gpu, are you using an rx 5700xt by chance?

[civic wharf]

570

[modest mountain]

guys ı need help , ı want to disable ballistic overhaul

ı disabled 3 of groobs ballistics overhoul at high priority section

but when ı shoot at npc ıt crashes

disabled addons; 181-182-183

[hazy ridge]

is the transition between dead city and yantar (bottom left of DC and top left of Yatar) bugged?
you can only go from DC to YT but not the other way

there is a invisible wall preventing you moving to DC

[graceful iron]

you can, its just a really specific spot you need to walk through to activate the transition

[hazy ridge]

time for pixle hunting

[graceful iron]

[mystic finch]

I have noticed there are some parts you use for upgrading the ballistic plates that don't have these icons reinforced polyethylene fibre layers and carbon fibre layers

[graceful iron]

its in #📢announcements, will be fixed at some point

[mystic finch]

ok I will have to keep a note of it then I have been skipping these parts for the longest time as I didn't notice

[graceful iron]

disabling/adding mods to gamma #🔨modded-gamma-support

[jolly spire]

did u know where to buy ks23 drozd

[tough socket]

dead city is super dark i can't see anything is it a bug?

everything is dark even though the sun is out

[graceful iron]

try the fix in #╭📖faq for black screen #╭📖faq message

[graceful iron]

its a kit but i dont know which type of faction sells it, probably WP

[civic wharf]

Which values should I look for to adjust in Dynamic Tonemap to make rainy weather brighter?

[heady field]

Hey. I have a question about "Toppers" quest from Snitch. Im at 11 place in leaderboard and started this task checked it by fast travelling to 10th guy killed him and I was promoted to 6th place. Will I have a crash if lets say I will be at 1st place and game give me task to kill 1st place stalker? (cant check further because I have fast travel time limit on and just dont know how to disable it heh)

[stable stag]

The toppers task is just for monetary reward. Not to work your way up the leaderboard

If you're 1st and you reach the final step to kill #1 it'll just assign you someone in another spot

[heady field]

Thank you Dig Dag. Cant start this task when Im 9 on the leaderboard thou. Im sacrificing 2hours of my playtime before I reached top 10. I just want to make as much content as I can on my first playthrough in this amazing modpack hehe cheers.

[strange ledge]

can I maintain relations with both freedom and clear sky? as in is it possible to get supply lv5 on both the traders at the same time?

[bleak egret]

Easily
