[dense moss]

Or cant i?

[bleak egret]

you... can

like

any other armor

you have repaired armor, yes?

[dense moss]

Yes i replaced its parts

[bleak egret]

there ya go. replace the parts, or repair the parts outside of the suit via repair tools

[dense moss]

Yea how can you repair those parts i was asking if i can

[graceful iron]

there should be more guards in the recent updates, i guess they arent enough. but yes thats just a vanilla bandits spawn where they instantly walk to the farm

[dense moss]

I know how to repair an armor

[bleak egret]

exosuit IS armor

[dense moss]

I know how to REPAIR im asking how do you repair the stuff that you'll put in it to repair it

Or i cant do it

[bleak egret]

yeah, so you repair light armor parts with lil repair bits called sewing thread

there are similar PART repair kits for other armors

[dense moss]

See

Well i was just asking that

Since i just recently know that you could repair gun parts

[bleak egret]

apologies, i was just confused how you were considering repairing end game armor without having done that on any armor leading up to that point

[dense moss]

Well I've been Killin alot of guys just for the sake of looking for better stuff to patch my armor

Sooo what do i need to fix a exo frame?

[hoary veldt]

Field armor repair kit probably

Same as most of the other armor parts that aren’t cloth

[topaz smelt]

to fix exo suit you need exo repair kit

[civic wharf]

rightclick any armor part > details

[topaz smelt]

hella expensive shit, need to craft it with expert tools, so expect that around fucking chernobyl, im currently in jupiter and still havent found single expert toolkit

back to the topic, once you get the exo repair kit

[dense moss]

I feel you

[dense moss]

Already have it

[topaz smelt]

i have sold 47 basic tools so far

[dense moss]

Bruh

Just bruh

[topaz smelt]

yup

[dense moss]

I feel your pain

[topaz smelt]

you need to go north to get better lootz

[dense moss]

It hurts

I already got it randomly in a stash in cordon

[topaz smelt]

basically with the exo tool you can replace the parts in the outfit

[dense moss]

After searching up north

[dense moss]

Uh yeah but i need to repair those said parts

[topaz smelt]

so you ask tech to use bench, open the repair tab, and change the parts

oh

dissassemble other exos

or other gear, most of the parts are used in several diferent outfits

[dense moss]

Nah you can repair then they said

[civic wharf]

I'm encountering fucking bandits wearing exos yet I still haven't found expert tools to fix guns that would actually two-tap that armor

[dense moss]

Already been doin that im getting tired of murdering an entire base for it

[dense moss]

What

[topaz smelt]

the only part you may have trouble getting will be the exo frame

[dense moss]

Bandits wearing exo now?

[topaz smelt]

yeah bandeeetos with exo is cool

[dense moss]

Bruh

Been in their base and they only brought shotguns against me

[topaz smelt]

you need to get the exo above 50% dura

[dense moss]

They belittling me

[topaz smelt]

then you can use the armor repair kits and glues to get it to 100%

[dense moss]

I told you they said you can repair said parts

[topaz smelt]

and glue and sewing kit to keep it there

[dense moss]

Ooh

So only 50 above?

[topaz smelt]

check the exo repair kit

there is minimum % to be possible to use

usually it is around 50

and yes, you can repair the parts with multitools or sewing kits, but im not sure if that is possible with the already installed parts

im trying to fix apocalypse helm right now but no damn tools man

also, what happens when you finish the task with hip?

the artefact hunt?

mah gurl got from rookie to proffesional beside me 😄

finally manages to hit something even

[thorn dirge]

I was curious when i killed a guy my character screamed something like sloshibi and was curious what it meant btw sorry for spelling it wrong lol

[topaz smelt]

mostly taunt lines

like fuck you and so

[thorn dirge]

i assumed as much just wanted to know what that specific one meant

cuz i capped 2 mercs and my guy screamed it twice in a row

[dense moss]

Simp

Join duty

[topaz smelt]

im pretty sure the lines are from tarkov

[thorn dirge]

join duty

[topaz smelt]

so you might get lucky looking it up there

[dense moss]

Indeed comrade

[topaz smelt]

also

anyone got asked for 9 packs of cocaine yet?

296 mods

[thorn dirge]

man ive only seen cocaine once in my entire playthrough i couldnt imagine trying to find 9

[topaz smelt]

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[granite tundra]

Anybody uses the magazines mod ? Does the speedload mags actually work ?

[deep zenith]

Are you able to repair kevlar belt attachments? Found one that was shit effectiveness, but havent found any way of repairing yet

Am guessing I just need to make a new one

[topaz smelt]

open details on the plate

there should be part where you have the repair tools listed

[sullen valve]

It just loads the bullets faster

Not the reload animation

[deep zenith]

I did, it just shows what repair kits can use it to increase the repairing for other stuff

[topaz smelt]

so no way to fix that

[sullen valve]

So if your in a pinch or you go back home to do crafting, it wouldn’t be as tedious or too long

[willow hawk]

JSRS not properly downloaded I think

[granite tundra]

Ah thx @sullen valve

Well i'm buying some then

[willow hawk]

Or extra add-ons

I tested it and it didn't crash

Didn't for you either

So it's not the cause

[granite tundra]

Oh yeah Grok. Thanks for body health system. Finally not dying from a random shotgun blast in a nomad suit

[willow hawk]

Could be something else in the loadouts. I need to test weird buggy shit in loadouts to see if it can cause a crash

For instance forcing a scope onto a gun that cannot have it

It forcing ammo types that exceed the list of available ammo for a gun

If this generates a crash, then I'm in to verify each line of all loadouts lol

I think the ammo are the best candidate

Like forcing ammo number 6 for a gun that only has 2 types of ammo

[sullen valve]

I just make it a rule to not take in any 40/60 mag cases unless the gun usually takes it like a light machine gun.

[granite tundra]

I could use the 45 capacity mag for the AKSU but i see no point yet

I'm not fighting monolith yet

[sullen valve]

Plus drum mags or 60 mag don’t look minimalist or tacticool to me. But yeah take the 40 mag on the aksu

I usually take 2 extra mags with me just in case I’m fresh out via load out

[granite tundra]

Currently only sporting this

[sullen valve]

I don’t mind the extra weight, very low anyways

[granite tundra]

Upload will take a sec

[topaz smelt]

i have fixed dragunow as fast as i could get my dirty hands on one

so monolith guys have big trouble with me

[granite tundra]

Trying to make my new backpack. No luck yet

[sullen valve]

I’m an otp guy myself, can’t decide if Korba looks cool or fisher price plastic tier

[sullen valve]

I usually use zero conditioned material to make my backpacks. Gives them some use

[granite tundra]

I just don't have the synthetic stuff yet

And MOST of my shit is with Xenotech. Ugh

[topaz smelt]

rip up some gear

[granite tundra]

If i was lucky

[south jungle]

So question about traders - do most traders in this pack buy all the junk you can get them?

[granite tundra]

I'm on shittiest progression. Just gave myself some money and stuff because good lord i'm not doing invictus otherwise

[sullen valve]

You shacked up with Xenotech’s place? I’m in rostok next to the technician

[granite tundra]

Haven't moved all my shit yet

[topaz smelt]

you cant sell any weapon, or any outfit

you can break them down and sell the parts

most of them to techs

and none will buy low durability shit from you

keep the trash on garbage

[dense moss]

game kept crashing

[bleak egret]

define junk

[brisk zinc]

@topaz smelt check these mods in your mod list

You're missing files 100%

[topaz smelt]

how exactly to check them? @brisk zinc

[south jungle]

in regular Anomaly I tend to end up with a ridiculous amount of equipment parts and plenty of stuff like broken flashlights, cards, jewelery and whatnot - and while I usually tend to repair guns and armors myself, I don't craft all the items... so I only set up my bases in places where I can sell basically every item to local traders

which limits me to only a couple locations in early game

[bleak egret]

so, a lot of those things are super useful once you disassemble them. GAMMA is very crafting centric. some merchants will pay more for certain things than others, sure. youll find out which ones will pay more once you play.

[south jungle]

not more, I mean at all

[bleak egret]

well, what factions are you considering to play as

every faction has a "sweet spot" to set up camp in

[topaz smelt]

so far i had to dissassemble most of the ammo, to make new ammo of the correct hurtie

[south jungle]

for example if I want to play as clear sky in anomaly I can't really set up base in the clear sky camp as there's a bunch of different items people won't buy from me - and I'm pissed off by losing out, and on the other hand can't be arsed to go to cordon farm

[topaz smelt]

as for the meds, unless youre way better than me

um

[south jungle]

so I always end up setting up base in the farm and it's getting boring

[topaz smelt]

what exactly they wont buy at CS base?

[bleak egret]

cs should buy all items? they have a medic, tech, cook, and merchant

in swamps camp

was there a particular item you were worried about?

[south jungle]

I'm asking if they buy everything in gamma - the merchant doesn't buy some items other merchants do in anomaly

regular anomaly i mean

[topaz smelt]

like i said

[bleak egret]

yes. medics wont but certain things, cooks wont buy certain things

[topaz smelt]

no weapons and armor can be sold

except for that

armor and weapon parts can be sold to tech

meat and water and alcohol to cook

[bleak egret]

sadly, selling parts is not worth it

[south jungle]

listen man I'm playing anomaly for a good couple years

[topaz smelt]

merchant will but all from ammo throut artefacts

[bleak egret]

well, in GAMMA you should be able to set up camp in swamps with no issue. it has every variety of merchant. that being said, its super, super, super out of the way in the literal corner of world

and all of the best loot is north

[south jungle]

indeed that's kinda annoying, not gonna lie

[bleak egret]

personally, i often start as clear sky and end up making camp in Zaton skadovsk

its in a much better spot, and clear sky and loners are allied

loners also sell Warsaw pact items, while clear sky sells NATO gear

but they dont sell both

[south jungle]

i personally tend to stay in early locations and enjoy life in the zone until I'm satisfied and decide to move over to more intense locations

[bleak egret]

that works too

[south jungle]

also basically an ingame kleptomaniac 😄

[bleak egret]

just remember that the entire game revolves around crafting

and expert toolkits can only be found red forest and north

[south jungle]

will cross that bridge when I get to it

so just how grindy is the crafting aspect in here, anyway?

[bleak egret]

depends on what difficulty you play on, for the most part. the toolkits are the progression gates

you will be "stuck" with light tier armor until you can get an advanced toolkit

then you can craft a medium repair kit with your looted goods and are then able to maintain a medium tier armor

[brisk zinc]

Open your MO2
See if those mods are grey or have a red cross

[bleak egret]

since technicians CANNOT repair armor

so you can only wear what you can actively maintain

[topaz smelt]

oh, i was thinking like a md check

yep around half of the mods are missing files

[tough socket]

is butcher supposed to buy everything at insane prices?

[bleak egret]

yes. he loves mutant parts

[topaz smelt]

i suppose deleting the downloads folder and do complete gamma install, @brisk zinc

or is there other way?

[tough socket]

no but he buys everything at like double the base price

[brisk zinc]

No

Don't even think about deleting that folder

That folder is sacred

It's untouchable

[tough socket]

artefacts too

[bleak egret]

everything? i know he will purchae mutant parts for the highest price in the game. if you are able to sell him weird shit, might be a bug

[brisk zinc]

Okay, yes, there is another way

We have multiple ways

[topaz smelt]

oh, but i like deleting folders

[tough socket]

i can sell literally everything to him except weapon parts

[bleak egret]

afaik thats abnormal. did you make any adjustments to the game?

[south jungle]

My usual way of playing Anomaly is that the only things I buy from traders are: water, better backpacks, upgraded PDAs/detectors, RF transmitter, headlamp, maybe some other minor stuff. The rest I make and maintain basically by myself, sometimes helping myself by getting the most basic repair materials from technicians.

[tough socket]

nope

oh wait I have trading overhaul enabled

if that changes it

probably does but this seems a bit unbalanced

[bleak egret]

so, youll find that a great deal of that gear is gated behind Goodwill. every 500 goodwill, merchants from that faction will sell new things (after daily merchant reset). you will likely be able to craft whatever you need, cheaper, and faster than what the merchants will sell you.

[south jungle]

hm that's neat

[bleak egret]

youll still buy water though

for cooking!

[south jungle]

oh yes more emphasis on cooking is great

[brisk zinc]

Use canteens for cooking

Keep bottled water for yourself

[south jungle]

Seen that suggestion, yeah

[bleak egret]

lol canteens

[south jungle]

i just want a barrel of water

gib

[brisk zinc]

#╭📖faq message

[south jungle]

I'll admit I didn't read the FAQ because it's fucking massive

[bleak egret]

its a good reference for sure

some people like a dialogue though

and thats fine too

o btw, there is a manual in the in game PDA as well

[south jungle]

also I nuked my custom anomaly pack for it so it better be worth it

lol

[bleak egret]

it is so worth it

i liked gamma so much

that i spend time here volunteering information to help the peoples

i was even able to get a suggestion of mine into the game

so the devs listen too which is lovely

i also get to torment falco

another bonus

[south jungle]

Anyway, I've noticed Grok's stash overhaul is here (which I used in my pack as well) but are there any new stash location addons? I used one in my pack and it was a real breath of life into some locations (darkscape)

[bleak egret]

man, stashes are fucking everywhere

im like... when did they add one on this goddamn roof

[south jungle]

IIRC the mod's name was 452 new stash locations or something

[bleak egret]

yeah. feels like that is in GAMMA

[south jungle]

so more than in base anomaly

[bleak egret]

for sure

[south jungle]

yay

[bleak egret]

• the RF stashes you get from goodwill

[south jungle]

there also were RF stashes in regular anomaly

[bleak egret]

i think its a bit more in gamma, possibly?

let me find it

[bleak egret]

#│📚manual message

[south jungle]

random PDA messages...

[bleak egret]

yeah, gamma is 300 mods

theres some great stuff

[south jungle]

in base anomaly you could find PDAs with reports of weird signals in them

[mighty jewel]

guys wtf is this lmao

[south jungle]

tbh I just don't wanna miss out if said messages end up being visible just for a moment 😛

[bleak egret]

a wall of text

[mighty jewel]

a text of wall

[bleak egret]

theres a log of messages in your pda

[south jungle]

error log?

[mighty jewel]

it's the anomaly log panicking

[south jungle]

not much use if I can't filter for the actually useful ones, innit

[bleak egret]

it has a filter

[south jungle]

yay

[bleak egret]

lol welcome to gamma

if you thought about it, someone else prolly did too and made a mod for it

[south jungle]

the lads thought of everything

[bleak egret]

and then grok sewed it into gamma

and then it broke cause he forgot something

[south jungle]

bleeding mutants?

[bleak egret]

and then removed it

and then fixed it

and then put it back in

[bleak egret]

nah, they did add it, but its disabled

not sure if because balance or if it breaks something else

like that one perk artifact

thistle

[south jungle]

dumb mutant attack hitboxes fixes? 😛

[bleak egret]

yup. they also use DLTX mutant agility

cats and chimeras turn on a dime now

you cant just sidestep jumps anymore lol

[south jungle]

fixes, as in hitboxes being more believeable

[bleak egret]

yeah. thats something fixed like

[south jungle]

for example snorks not hitting you from meters away

[bleak egret]

back a million years ago

[south jungle]

(so basically half of the nitpicker's modpack lol)

[bleak egret]

all the major things you can imagine

were added a LONG time ago

were down to fine tuning lands now

[south jungle]

okay I'll end with dumb questions for now

[bleak egret]

enjoy

[south jungle]

if all goes well I'll have it downloaded by the end of this week 😄

[bleak egret]

wat

you live on an island or somethin

[south jungle]

slavland

I get a couple mbps

[tough socket]

the switch sight button only works like 10% of the time

🤨

[dense moss]

Anyone know why my game just closes itself

[bleak egret]

did you add the bind to the MCM toggle scopes section?

[north turret]

how do I add magazines to my loadout?

does loadout = inventory

[trim bloom]

No

First, your outfit needs to have room for the kind of magazine (size, i.e. small, medium, or large; generally outfits can have up to three / four small and medium mags, and fewer large ones)

then, in the context menu (right click) on a magazine you can "add to loadout," after which point it should be highlighted and at the top of your inventory

[stiff nebula]

What happened to the booty on the TV screen in the bar? Stepped in a few dodgy bars over the years, can confirm it's an immersive feature.

[bleak egret]

a snork changed the channel

[stiff nebula]

Is there a way to get that remote back from the Snork someway? Like where would one find this snork? Alternatively is there a mod in the modlist or picture/video file in the game directory I can edit?

[south jungle]

I recall reading that GAMMA has the funny little mod that lets you easily move entire stacks of items by pressing shift

This is a fantastic feature imo (which I also used myself a lot) but I've noticed it can be a little unstable

(in a different modpack) I've had situations where I used it to quickly toss like 300 bullets into my stash and lost more than 200 of them

[bleak egret]

ive used it quite a bit

cant recall losing anything

accidentally dropped some quest items that way though lol

[south jungle]

bet it's some instability with ryzen

yay I'm getting a megabyte per second

[versed cedar]

Can anyone explain what this does in terms of framerate optimization
r__tf_aniso 8
snd_targets 256

[summer sandal]

how do i reset the keybinds back to gamma?

[brisk zinc]

Open the installer with admin rights and do this

Simple and quick

There's also a second way if you want, a little bit longer

[summer sandal]

like total installation? i'm doing that right now

[brisk zinc]

No, the complete install is another way of doing it but it's not recommend if you "just" need to default your keybinds

[summer sandal]

that's what i'm doing, i accedently resetted the keybinds back to vanilla anomaly after trying to get rid of a key to see 3rd person view because of a visual bug with body awareness

[brisk zinc]

Next time ask

[summer sandal]

ok

when i get the chance, i'll also report the body awareness bug in #old-bugs

[wintry ledge]

What keybind uses Mouse_5? It currently zooms in but I wasn't able to find it bound to anything in Keybindings and couldn't see it in the mod config menu in any of the options. Anyway to remove the zoom?

[graceful iron]

it appears as "!!!" in the menu, but its still bound to mouse 5

[wintry ledge]

So I see, thanks for that, going to check if I can change that now

[tidal raft]

Wrong channel, #old-bugs is over there.

[dense moss]

um no im kinda asking for help XD

but yea kinda makes sense

[tidal raft]

Crashes and bugs belong in #old-bugs.

[dense moss]

ok thanks

but really did anyone faced this problem or just me

[north turret]

thank you!!!

[astral wigeon]

something broke on the installer for me

im using the newest one Grok posted

[topaz smelt]

same happened to me @astral wigeon

[astral wigeon]

uh oh

[plush wharf]

You're both likely blocked on moddb.

[astral wigeon]

I'm gonna reinstall and try again

[topaz smelt]

rename "mods" folder and do complete download

[astral wigeon]

I'm not

I just installed a backpack icon mod

[topaz smelt]

oh

fresh install?

or update only?

[astral wigeon]

fresh

[plush wharf]

https://www.moddb.com/

See anything when you visit?

[astral wigeon]

yessir

I have full access to ModDB

[topaz smelt]

you can vpn if youo get banned

[astral wigeon]

I already got whitelisted too

[plush wharf]

hmm, did the installer close or did anything happen during installation?

[astral wigeon]

nope

it was chilling on my PC whilst watching youtube

[topaz smelt]

but anyways, my suggestion is rename/delete the mods folder and do install

[astral wigeon]

I just ran it again and it fixed it

[sullen valve]

I get massive frame drops in great swamp, and the game freezes when I talk to spore

[plush wharf]

Try playing with these. Great swamps is huge.

reduce and see if it improves fps

[sullen valve]

I dunno what happened, when I started my run… great swamps ran fine

Now it just runs like doo doo, not like I go there often. But you know, ammo and upgrade kits are important

[plush wharf]

Lots of third variable explanations. Several quests in the swamps spawn AI, etc etc

[sullen valve]

I guess I can just start shopping in freedom in the army warehouse.

[sullen valve]

Ah that’s probably it

[hexed kayak]

soo, maybe dumb question? i finished doing the clearing out of the great swamp for the Last Dawn questline, but thats the last of it I got....how do I continue the questline from there?

[wise sparrow]

you'll get a message on the radio at night for the next part then it goes to sid

[hexed kayak]

ah...so it's a waiting game then, got it..

[sudden egret]

you gotta be in the swamps at night is the thing it's kind of a bad quest too

I needed to look in the faq to finish it

[vernal wharf]

I have to questions

1. What does the "Firestarter Set" item do? It doesn't replace matches so what?
2. The "J" Keybind shown in #│💻keybinds-in-gamma doesn't work for me. Is it only for debug mode?

[brisk zinc]

2. It's a mod

You need to enable it

Teleport companions, something like this

[vernal wharf]

Ok, thanks!

[north turret]

when i change my resolution to 1920x1080 my game crashes

[bleak egret]

dont do that then

[north turret]

[bleak egret]

but seriously though lol, post your crash log

[shrewd dirge]

How do I spawn Lukash in using debug menu?

[brisk zinc]

You can simply delete Anomaly and GAMMA but please, keep the "downloads" folder you can find inside the GAMMA folder

That folder contains all the zipped mods used by GAMMA

Yes

When you'll install again GAMMA, before hitting the button for the complete installation, paste the folder inside your GAMMA folder

This way, you'll just install everything again

And won't download anything, because you already have the mods inside that folder

You can always ask here or ping me when you need help with it, it's an easy procedure when you know what you need to save

I'm always around

Oh right

You can keep your save files if you want

They're inside the Anomaly folder

I think in appdata/savegames or something like that

[versed cedar]

Ok so I’m confused whether this is a bug or not but I have been encountering clear sky members or other ally factions and I’m not in bad standing with them but something they open fire is it enemy factions in disguise or a bug?

Like there was a clear sky npc shooting at me so I went to loot him and he had mercenary patches on with clear sky armour on

[brisk zinc]

You can find patches on stalkers, that's normal

[bleak egret]

are you wearing their enemies' armor?

if so, tear off that factions patch and you can wear the armor and your friends wont kill you

#│📚manual message

[hallow tree]

did he drop it on the ground or his inventory ? am having the same issue after a few reloads now lmao

[thorny tulip]

yeah so its acutally inside his inventory

and it looks like the sme decoder strelok uses on the door

white keypad red display

ive noticed if you proc that quest and dont do it immidiately it bugs out

[hallow tree]

wack

i found it in the debug menu finally lmao

appreciate it tho

[thorny tulip]

you did?

nice, i couldnt find it in the menu when i tried and had to reload a save 2 hours earlier

[versed cedar]

Does dx9 work for gamma because I get crashes

[brisk zinc]

No it doesn't, probably never will

Use DX8 if you're desperate

Or DX10

[versed cedar]

Ah nvm I just tweaked the the settings it was the screen tearing Im using my 4K tv as my monitor for the moment haha

All good now

[north turret]

Just so I have this right, if I want to maintain an outfit/armor that's already in good quality, I can just top it off every now and then with glue tubes or whatever is the appropriate repair item, before the condition drops too low.
But to maintain a gun that's in good quality, I need to have the appropriate repair kit and routinely do a maintain part > clean [part] for every part in the gun?

[brisk zinc]

You can do the same thing with a gun using whatever item that can clean, but it's only for the gun condition

When it comes to parts, you can:

• Replace them by hand (not the barrel), this will lower the condition
• Use a toolkit + repair kit + the actual parts you want to change and use
• Use a cleaning kit, so maintain part > clean part

You can also use specific items IIRC

Like the multitool

Or the file

Or the "rod", I think this is the name

On the singular part you want to "fix"

[north turret]

Right, but most of that primarily helps, as I understand it, when the gun and its parts need to recover a lot of condition
if it's already in 80%+ condition or thereabouts, maintain part > clean part is how you keep it from going lower

which for most guns means ~5 parts, so a full kit's worth of charges

so just maintaining a TOZ or a PM that's already in good condition is going to run for like 5k roubles
I know that's not a ton in the grand scheme of things but in the very early game it sure feels like a lot

[brisk zinc]

You can always take out the parts and clean them individually with those specific items

And put them back by hand (this will lower the gun condition) of with a toolkit + repair kit

[north turret]

wouldn't that take as many charges from the repair kit as just using maintain -> clean?

[brisk zinc]

No
The repair kit, used along with a toolkit, doesn't lose charges

[north turret]

ahh, okay

so there's the rub

[brisk zinc]

The repair kit, used alone in that way, maintain part > clean, lose charges

[brisk zinc]

When you do this, you just swap parts

And you don't lose charges

Obviously

Because you're just swapping bad parts with good parts

[north turret]

gotcha, gotcha
so you can instead use charges on a cheaper repair item like a ramrod, as opposed to the more valuable repair kit

I think I get it now

[brisk zinc]

Or you're installing good parts again

[north turret]

still hard to get to at the start but not nearly as prohibitively expensive, thanks. I feel like I just got the last piece of the puzzle.

[brisk zinc]

Check in #╭📖faq as well

We have two written guides and some videos

[polar yoke]

Sorry to interrupt... Was gonna respond but seems you helped him 😄

Anyway, I have a small bug on my playthru..
First quest in Artefact Hunters is bugged on my end... should I just cancel it?
I was able to return the first anomalous artifact to Kovalev, did a detour of like 10hs of gametime, and then went back to get the two other artifacts on their respective anomalous fields .... but when I want to give them to Kovalev it doesn't seem to trigger that I have them on my inventory, even though their respective quests (Find x anomalous artifact) were completed, so I can't complete Kovalev's quest...

Any way to fix this or yes, do I have to cancel the quest?

Maybe it's the fact that before I finished the quest, I found the other ecologist quest-giver in Dark Valley, and he already had the "Did you find the artifacts?" triggered. So that could have bugged this one.

See image for more info

[brisk zinc]

You're probably missing one artefact

I suggest debug mode

Kovalev wants three samples

You have two

[polar yoke]

I gave him the 1st one already

[brisk zinc]

Ah

[polar yoke]

D:

[brisk zinc]

Try to take it with debug mode again

Maybe this will "unlock" the dialogue

You can also just forget the quest

It's a stupid long fetch quest, really

The reward isn't that good (no I don't remember what he give you but it's shit)

[polar yoke]

Hm, interesting. okay, I'll research how to use the debug mode

Yeah, I was gonna ask, is this quest crucial or something? Or can I cancel it and get again? I just dont want to get softblocked

[brisk zinc]

#╭📖faq for debug mode

Again you can just forget about the quest, you can fail it as well

It's an extra quest line

[polar yoke]

I did saw you posted what we get (with the search function) that stupid letter of congratulations at the end, but hey

[brisk zinc]

Nothing important

[polar yoke]

Perfect then

Will do that 😄

[brisk zinc]

Yes that one

[polar yoke]

Thank you Falco

[brisk zinc]

You already know it

Fuck Kovalev and his letter

Fail that quest

No regrets

[polar yoke]

Yep

[brisk zinc]

You can finish the game just fine

Don't worry

[polar yoke]

Tysm!

[sweet spade]

which tool is used for repairing carbon fibre plates?

[brisk zinc]

Try right click on the item > details

Maybe it's listed there

(or maybe you can't repair it at all but I don't know about that)

[sweet spade]

Idk if u can repair them

[brisk zinc]

Did you try to check in details?

[sweet spade]

yeah

it lists a bunch of kits but when I use them it doesn’t show up

[empty monolith]

Is there anywhere I can see what the new quests in this modpack are for all the factions?

[brisk zinc]

#│📚manual

Or in the loadout in the game IIRC

[empty monolith]

Thank you

[golden current]

Hello stalkers, is there a way to upload the modpack but keep the enemy can t see you through bushes? Stalker stealth system always sucked but i think that in this modpack is very similar to a triple A game

[plush wharf]

you could enable this

[junior junco]

Is the artifact questline limited to just fetch quests. I mean is it more interesting than the clear shy one.

[unborn sage]

anyone have any idea which mod/mcm setting makes it so guns dropped by enemies are automatically unloaded? id like to turn that off if possible

[echo elk]

In a hunt to figure out what has caused my FPS to halve from 80 fps to 30 fps since last major gamma update, I've disabled all reshade settings, but now whenever I load the preset back it comes on with everything unticked, is there any way I can re-download the preset?

[severe shadow]

Could this cause balance issues? I remember about some AI aim rebalance 1 or 2 weeks ago

[plush wharf]

Arguable. If you keep weapon tilt on, it'll be much harder to aim through and abuse bushes, since your weapon will often get hitched on bushes with that mod enabled.

The AI had received that rebalance to compensate for the fact that AI can shoot through bushes. You might consider enabling hardcore ai aim in the settings or something, Up to you

[grave plover]

yes, check the gamma directory

[severe shadow]

Fair, thanks. I'll try that 👍

[echo elk]

It's in there, it has size, but loading it just makes everything unticked in reshade.

[grave plover]

copy "bin" folder from the modpack_patches and overwrite your current installation

[echo elk]

Cheers, that's done it, much obliged.

[radiant summit]

Expedition isn't compatible with Gamma, right?

[icy root]

Hi. Can anyone tell me how to disable artefact degradation?

[granite tundra]

OK what the fuck is broken now

[golden current]

Thanks!

[north turret]

how much stalker gamma modpack takes gb?

unzipped about i think 20 or so unzipped its about 50-60

[serene cedar]

To use Cinematic VFX 3.7, would there be any other mods to disable, enable, or other things? Or, would it be better to wait for the official announcement from Grok about compatibility?

[strange ledge]

Mercs will start getting triggered if I start massacring bandits right?

In other words, will I lose trust with mercenaries if I start killing a lot of bandits ?

[serene cedar]

If dynamic relations is on, then it could go that way until about 3000 negative, then it resets to neutral.

Playing many times with dynamic turned on, it got too weird. I now play with it off so I don't screw up a playthrough (vanilla Anomaly).

[willow hawk]

Official announcement is, don't use cvfx 3.7

[north turret]

https://tenor.com/view/noting-this-down-noting-gif-17958861

[willow hawk]

I will edit the particles used by gamma from what's good in 3.7

[strange ledge]

Does the ceasefire rule not apply within an enemy base ?

as in they dont shoot at you if you have 1000 goodwill

[serene cedar]

If there is a ceasefire, then yes you can freely go in their base area, etc.

But goodwill with a faction and faction to faction relations are not the same

personal goodwill, usually over about 600 is good enough that no one will attack you. 1000 and you should be golden

[dusty nebula]

i am having trouble with the nvg, they do not turn on at all ?

[serene cedar]

Thanks.

[strange ledge]

which kind? goggles or scope?

[serene cedar]

Check the #│💻keybinds-in-gamma section. You must hold down N for about 1 second or so.

[dusty nebula]

the goggles one

[jagged lance]

Any plans on adding more weapons that can be put in the vision slot? Like the vz61?

[strange ledge]

hold down N

[strange ledge]

I wanted access to NATO weapons so i became an ecologist and gained 1000 goodwill with both freedom and mercs

[jagged lance]

#│💻keybinds-in-gamma

[strange ledge]

then I switched back to clear sky and tp'd to the freedom base

they killed me

same with the merc base

[serene cedar]

Yeah, you can go anywhere as Eco and now, even if yo uchange factions, you still retain the personal goodwill so you can still visit their bases.

Switched factions or did a disguise?

[dusty nebula]

Got it to work now, thanks guys

[strange ledge]

switched factions

[serene cedar]

In your settings, do you have the option checked to 'Reset relations'

[storm shadow]

can't activate the exoskeleton reactor powers, how to rebind that key

[strange ledge]

no I have that off

[willow hawk]

MCM menu keybinding

[serene cedar]

If you do, that will keep resetting after certain events. As I remember, changing factions is one of those events.

I'm not sure why they are shooting at you if your personal goodwill with them is over 1000.

[granite tundra]

Excuse me @willow hawk but what do you think is broken here

[serene cedar]

Make sure it's your own goodwill, not your faction goodwill vs their faction goodwill

[willow hawk]

Can be anything

Can you reproduce that crash ?

[strange ledge]

It's the goodwill row right?

[granite tundra]

Well not anymore because doing a complete re extract of all the mods

[serene cedar]

Wold you be able to send a screenshot of your relations tab with the values? I'd just like to see more clearly.
Furthermore, if you are being shot at, it could mean that some of them have a personal issue if you killed their teammate or buddy or whatever.

[strange ledge]

I thought of that but it's highly unlikely I killed someone who's friends with every merc and every freedom guy

[serene cedar]

Are all members of the faction hostile towards you?

[strange ledge]

If I switch back to clear sky, yes, all mercs and freedomers shoot on sight

[serene cedar]

It seems odd to me, but I have also experienced weird behaviors with dynamic relations. Once, I was Freedom with full rep with Ecos, did a 'kill Duty' mission, and then half of Yantar was suddenly hostile to me when I went there. Even the professor. So, I guess it is an engine issue that is causing yoru personal goodwill to be overlooked or to be nullified.

[strange ledge]

Is there anything I can do about this?

[serene cedar]

I don't have any explanation for you, sorry. You have evetrything the way you should. It is just an X-ray engine thing....

[strange ledge]

or do I just continue as an ecologist or something

[serene cedar]

You could go into debug mode and manually change the relations of an NPC

You cna find out how if you use the search as I'm not too familiar with the exact steps to take

Yeah, or stay as an Eco

[strange ledge]

will mercs kill me as an ecologist if I have poor goodwill?

I dont think I can avoid killing bandits

[serene cedar]

They should not since you are naturally on good terms and you have great goodwill with them

If you have that much goodwill with those factions, I guess you are at the endgame, maybe done with the first main questline and already doing the SIN questline, correct?

[strange ledge]

lmao no

I ignored the main quest completely and have been running around doing quests and getting guns

[serene cedar]

Hehehe If you are still in the southern areas, you will have to kill more bandits, yes.

[strange ledge]

I havent even gone north of the red forest

[serene cedar]

Last optoin is to swtich to Freedom, then you won't have to kill them anymore

[strange ledge]

hmm

I guess I'll think of something

thanks a lot

[serene cedar]

Good luck!

[serene cedar]

You may want to try a disguise before you switch factions. Just to see if that helps. If not, you can just reload and not lose much time.

[storm shadow]

weird, freedom are pretty friendly

[strange ledge]

I'm playing with disguises off. One more thing, If I go into debug and set bandits and mercs as enemies, will killing bandits still reduce my goodwill with mercs?

[errant stump]

Hi, i've disabled both immersive sleep stuff and he still says he is not tired enough? any idea where too look? mention me pls in reply if you know

[storm shadow]

smoke weed, drink vodka take sleeping pills

[jagged lance]

disabled how

in mcm?

[errant stump]

in the mod organiser

ive unticked those two

[serene cedar]

If they are set as enemies, then no it won't.

[strange ledge]

how do I do that

[astral wigeon]

where is lukash?

[serene cedar]

I'm not sure exactly. There might be some help if you check #╭📖faq or use the search in the upper right.

[astral wigeon]

and the medic is gone too

[serene cedar]

Check your PDA map for his icon. If not, you may need to find out if you can manually spawn him. It's an issue that arises from time to time I've noticed.

[strange ledge]

all right, thanks again

[serene cedar]

You are welcome.

[north turret]

he turned into the 8 pool table and the doctor is the hanging light (they are playing prop hunt)

[jagged lance]

probably passed out in the train tunnel

[serene cedar]

It will be using the debug menu, and there is some setting or place in there to adjust faction relations and/or individual NPC relations. But I don't want to give you wrong information since I've never done it myself.

[serene cedar]

I found this, maybe it will help.
#🔨base-gamma-support message

[brisk zinc]

Don't touch anything related to sleep, it can fuck up your game

It's even written in #old-how-to

[jagged lance]

"in the game options" sounds like the in-game options to me not necessarily MO2 itself as well

i can understand the confusion

[strange ledge]

It appears that that command is no longer valid. something is wrong

can you see if it works for you?

I just don't get it

I'll figure it out later

[dense moss]

Oh yeah thanks

[brisk zinc]

Do you get damage when you trip?

[opal haven]

Do "damage resistance" effect on drugs like morphine have their own icon in statuses?

i don't see it after using such meds

[dense moss]

Yes

[minor star]

They don't have an icon but Grok is gonna add one iirc

[dense moss]

But my health is full and the damage is not quite noticable

Wait is that a mod or no

[knotty patrol]

Hmm I just crafted the first night vision thing, I'm pressing 'm' and I can hear it turn on and off, but it doesn't seem to do anything?

I'm almost certainly doing something wrong, any ideas?

[minor star]

M is for scopes

Long press N for NVGs

Tapping it changes brightness

[dense moss]

Press n

M is just randomly like that for some reason

[knotty patrol]

Thanks @minor star! and @dense moss (this time )

[minor star]

[dense moss]

Bruh XD

[north turret]

hello, can somebody help me with last dawn story?

i dont have dialogue option to start quest

[strange ledge]

does updating the mods kill your previous saves (game crashes, no error message)

[primal condor]

is there a way to change the keybind to inspect the weapon?

[north turret]

Will DX9 ever be supported in the future?

[minor star]

Updating should cause no problems with already existing saves

[strange ledge]

If i'm reinstalling (changing directory), what folders should I retain?

[minor star]

I don't know about that

Sorry

[strange ledge]

np

I reinstalled but now my old save is crashing

[brisk zinc]

What about legs?

[brisk zinc]

M is for NVG scopes

[north turret]

okay its caused by anomaly hd models addon

[dense moss]

Nope its full health

[brisk zinc]

Does it happen all the times?

[dense moss]

No randomly only when running

Its very rare tho

[knotty patrol]

Is the L85 A2 any good? Or the M4A1 RAS? Trying to pick first proper gun when I get the rifle kit to repair them.

Also, thoughts on rifle vs sniper? I feel like rifle with a good scope should be fine no?

[bleak egret]

personally, of the two id take the m4

as for rifle vs dmr vs ar

ar has the best dps potential in short range for sure

but im more of an ammo conservationist, and prefer a sniper/dmr

[knotty patrol]

I found a SVD (custom), and SV98 (custom) but it has a fixed scope which sucks. And a OTs-03 SVU if that's a sniper as well?

Oh and an SKS and the Molot version as well.

[bleak egret]

so, the custom is slightly more accurate, like 4% or something, but the ots3 has a much better rof and a slightly more handling

as for the sks, its a great early game rifle (i always start with it), the molot isnt particularly great, if you want an sks, get the sks tactical

[knotty patrol]

Ok cool, no this is just what I've found so far, not really looking for anything because I haven't been able to use them without the right kits to repair them (yet)

That helps a lot though, thanks

I'm happy with my pistol so maybe I'll pair it with a sniper instead of AR

[bleak egret]

so for snipers, look out for the superb svds pmc and/or the barret

those are my personaly endgame goals for snipers

but if you are happy with a pistol instead of an ar, maybe look into dmr's as well

[idle storm]

Shotguns are also nice snipers and x51 Ammo guns. Better than actual sniper imo

[bleak egret]

i gotta disagree on that one

a dmr or sniper does the job much better than even the best shotty, plus shotties are supremely excellent at liquefying mutants using buckshot

[dense moss]

Bro you all can argue about shot gun or snipers but lets agree that a rpg does the job better

[bleak egret]

no.

[knotty patrol]

This is a very @dense moss comment 😂

[bleak egret]

damn bro eat some food and get a drink

[dense moss]

Bro i rather go with SVDS PMC

[idle storm]

This rifle beats any sniper

[dense moss]

Nah

[idle storm]

I just woke up ingame

[ornate maple]

Which addon is responsible for the Psy Health bar in the UI?

[bleak egret]

while i agree the sa58 is good

beating any sniper is a .... bit much

[idle storm]

Well, it onehits any human

[bleak egret]

especially when considering the svds pmc

[idle storm]

What more do you need?

[bleak egret]

1 tap chest exo at any range

[idle storm]

Just headshot

[bleak egret]

and yet.... i dont need to with half of the other guns

like i said

sa58 good

not great, nor best

[knotty patrol]

You have a knife in your Vision slot?

[idle storm]

I had a p90 there too

But i ditched it for weight

[graceful iron]

Yes it is

Hey, I'm at 296 and all, but when I disable 203 YACS Better Campfire saves, the game CTD whenever I attempt to start a new playthrough or load an existing one. Does there need to be another addon disabled to do away with the whole campfire saves system?

[bleak egret]

dont disable it in MO, disable it in MCM in game

[cyan ferry]

Hi!
Would anyone know how to fix this... flashlight

[fallow cliff]

do you have both headlamp and the handheld flashlight on at the same time?

[cyan ferry]

No. Its just the flashlight im holding.
I dont have a headlamp in my inventory either

[fallow cliff]

have you been fiddling with the mods in the MCM menu alot?

might have changed some setting there

[cyan ferry]

Im coming from a fresh install.
Its my first time launching GAMMA and I havent really done anything to the settings other than using the "high" preset

[fallow cliff]

thats a pickle have you tried changing your FOV?

with the in game slider

[cyan ferry]

I will try that. I restarted and Im hoping it goes back to a normal flashlight.

[fallow cliff]

try buying a headlamp and see if its the same problem

[ornate maple]

Any easy ways to change the location of the companion element on the UI? To the bottom-right, or anything. Just having it hang there is ehhhhh

[graceful iron]

also try deleting shaders_cache, its in anomaly/appdata

Why outfit loot are always broken ? I'm with progresive loot setting and I set up in mcm setting the quality regarding the rank. I'm legend rank

I can use the artifact smelter as a vice? XD

[graceful iron]

you can use any toolkit as a workbench, the artefact melter works as a toolkit as well

[dense moss]

Oooh CD

XD

[graceful iron]

you will always loot damaged outfits and guns and have to repair them, thats the point of gamma #│📚manual

[dense moss]

Its just realistic that its broken when you wasted a mag shooting at someone that is wearing it

[fickle siren]

Gun is ok it follow my mmc rules but not the outfit

[graceful iron]

its overwritten by an addon, not sure which one

[fickle siren]

too bad :'

[tropic vector]

If I want to enable some of the optional addons do I have to tick them and then update through the installer or will the additional addons just be active if I tick them in the launcher

[bleak egret]

just tick them

[tropic vector]

alrighty, thanks

[bleak egret]

mods in your MO are mods you have

whether you enable them or not, is up to you

[exotic lichen]

Had anyone bothered trying to locate RF stash wich spawns unmarked when you find responsible message in NPC pda?

[bleak egret]

yes? many times

[exotic lichen]

I think i found supposed one crate, Rf reciver beeps super loud, Lamp artifact lights it in the dark, but crate is empty

[south jungle]

generally yes but back in the day in clean Anomaly I had issues with locating them (didn't react to opening)

or were empty

[bleak egret]

so, its not a stash

its an actualy item on the ground

[south jungle]

don't tell me it's the church in the swamps

[bleak egret]

it wont be in a container

you can hold F to see it

[south jungle]

the ones from PDA won't?

[bleak egret]

the free RF "stashes" that you get from goodwill

are literal items on the ground

usually in bushes and other annoying locations

[exotic lichen]

I mean one that comes from supposebly empty passworded pda

Not that spaming dude

[bleak egret]

ah ok

[south jungle]

is it a stash in the church?

[exotic lichen]

It is on Agroprom near one of sciense and stalker caping points

[bleak egret]

caping?

camping?

[exotic lichen]

Camping*

[bleak egret]

ah

give us a screenshot

[exotic lichen]

You know, four tubes green crate near

[bleak egret]

shrug

picture worth a thousand words

[south jungle]

try putting some item inside, close the container, open it and take all?

[wise sparrow]

all of the rf stashes i've gotten from pdas have been empty. not sure if it's a vanilla or gamma issue though.

[exotic lichen]

So maybe Bug?

[bleak egret]

or feature

might be a balancing thing

[exotic lichen]

Yeah i tried putting smth

[south jungle]

I'd say it's vanilla, had a similar issue in a close to vanilla pack

[exotic lichen]

No signal dissapearing, lamp still lights it

[south jungle]

there was that one fucking box in the church in great swamps that beeped as advertised and had nothing in it, I searched around for literal dozens of minutes, I even went as far as getting the world coordinates of stashes in that region and checking if there isn't anything hidden just next to said container but nah, there was nothing

[exotic lichen]

But maybe it is somwhere around idk. There is no other filled stashes near that i found, but i recon that anomaly adds its own aditional hiding points

[south jungle]

I presume you could either clear the signal or somehow force items to retry spawning with the 'execute command' box in debug mode HUD but some script magician would have to chime in here

this might be worth addressing in the modpack tho

[exotic lichen]

Well i just was intrested if it is me who is dumb, or spagetti coding

[south jungle]

as in, either disabling the RF stashes from PDAs altogether, or fixing them

[exotic lichen]

Yea like, i think for those peoples who even bother scanning messages, trying to locate them from description, and RF + other metods, there could be somthing super nice.

[idle storm]

It is the result of any Artefakt that has been transmuted via a bat.

[idle storm]

Yeah, I've made a complete reinstall and forgot to disable it.

[idle storm]

It's this one, but I do have some more.

[buoyant oxide]

I swear I read about a bind to display an armour value if the condition was 100% but can't find it anymore. Did I have a fever dream or is it a thing ?

[minor star]

Left ctrl

[bleak egret]

Ctrl - hold it

[buoyant oxide]

ty

[graceful iron]

[hoary veldt]

I can’t believe I’m saying this but

Cat, read up

drag the file in

[idle storm]

drag it in

[graceful iron]

when did it crash ?

[granite tundra]

AHA

Bas patch

crashes it on clicking new game

[north turret]

quick question

is jgsme or mod organizer better

[radiant pollen]

I think most of us belong to the cult of mod organizer

[north turret]

why the hell doesnmod organizer dont work for me then

[bleak egret]

we dont know. provide more information.

[north turret]

ok

sooo

when i load in a mod right

and then i try to launch the game from mo2

it just shuts down

[bleak egret]

have you ever got gamma to run?

or is this you adding mods and it not working

[north turret]

nah

adding mods

actually

when i even run anomaly from the mo2 menu

it just does not start even when i hit play

[bleak egret]

have you ensured the path is correct?

[north turret]

what patch

[bleak egret]

path

sorry

[wooden fiber]

I'm curious which mod changes attachment stats to be shown as percents, does anyone know?

[bleak egret]

can be adjusted via the Artifact Condition setting in MCM

[wooden fiber]

ayy, thanks

[topaz smelt]

how unlucky do i have to be to get all toolkits in single stash but no expert tools ?

damn

[wanton pecan]

Hello what's the threshold for a piece of armor to take damage when inside a pocket of radiation?

[topaz smelt]

the damage should be proportional to the strenght of the radiation

[wanton pecan]

Hmm, would indeed make sense, having 25% makes my suit pretty much invulnerable to it even in prypiat.

[hoary veldt]

Radiation doesn't damage suits though

[wanton pecan]

It does.

[topaz smelt]

it feels like it does

[hoary veldt]

I seriously doubt that

[wanton pecan]

I had a bandit suit with only 9% and it damaged it everytime

[topaz smelt]

my suits are taking damage even when i aint taking damage at all

[hoary veldt]

I'm going to go stand in a patch of radiation right now and check

[topaz smelt]

the type of suit probably has effect on that too

the tougher the suit theless damage it takes

[bleak egret]

i dont feel like my armor has ever been rad damaged

[wanton pecan]

It was a load-bearing sunrise suit.

[hoary veldt]

Armor damage from rads has never been a thing and it still isn't

Are you sure you didn't just pass by a thermal/chem anomaly?

[bleak egret]

or electro

[hoary veldt]

That too

[bleak egret]

electro fucks armor up

[hoary veldt]

Electros will screw your armor up too

[wanton pecan]

I'm aware of that, is the parasite effect on screen not radiation?

[hoary veldt]

Yes that's radiation, but it's not gonna damage your suit

[wanton pecan]

It does though.

[topaz smelt]

im looting stashes right now and i havent touched single anomaly..

[hoary veldt]

What proof do you have?

[wanton pecan]

I had to repear and repear everytime i was in a pocket of it.

[hoary veldt]

This is all conjecture based on what you're saying

I am standing in a patch of radiation right now

My suit is still 100%

[wanton pecan]

Well that sure is weird.

[bleak egret]

hmm. lets ask a guy. @graceful iron hey, do you know if rads damage armor durability?

[wanton pecan]

My load-brearing sunrise suit with only 9% took damage before.

[hoary veldt]

I'm pretty sure you just grazed an electro near a rad patch and mistook it for rads damage

[wanton pecan]

I'm pretty sure I'm not, rookie village's radiation patch damaged it too back when i started.

[graceful iron]

i noticed taking suit damage in pure radiation anomalies, but its way too little to be noticeable unless you stay in it for long

[bleak egret]

so, it is possible

[topaz smelt]

makes sanse

[bleak egret]

ok, interesting

thanks cat

[wanton pecan]

thank you

[hoary veldt]

[graceful iron]

i think its tied to dynamic anomalies overhaul

[hoary veldt]

Mm, that would explain it

[bleak egret]

so, is NOT natural rads

but specific anomalies? or those "rad patches"

[wanton pecan]

Isn't that just normal ones?

Interesting

[graceful iron]

the time i noticed was a dynamic radiation patch

[topaz smelt]

selling another 17 basic tools..

im telling you, this RNG is pure shit

[wanton pecan]

Well thank you for clearing that up.

[trim bloom]

can turn those basic tools into advanced for quests if you need them

[hoary veldt]

Didn't see that DAO has armor damage, but I guess that's just a hidden feature or something

[topaz smelt]

well in the end it does not matter the source of the damage, keep your gear maintained!!!

also i dont need advanced tools

have 4 of those

[wanton pecan]

Oh yes always

[topaz smelt]

need expert

[wanton pecan]

Same here did pryp and the outskirts and still waiting for one.😩

[bleak egret]

radar

radar seems to have the greatest chance for expert tools for some reason

i have no idea why, but its like guaranteed for me on any run

[topaz smelt]

the chance should increase by going north

[bleak egret]

and yet. radar is my tool friend

[topaz smelt]

but people saying they got them in cordon

[wanton pecan]

I got a stash that is up a big white fenced "tunnel" of sort with a bed there, got no idea how I get there though...

[civic wharf]

about 40-50 hours into my current save, been in stashes in Jupiter/Zaton/Limansk and still no expert tools

[wanton pecan]

this hurts

[topaz smelt]

whats your stash found count? 😄

just wondering, for eh... science

[civic wharf]

where do you check, in your PDA?

[topaz smelt]

y

stats

[wanton pecan]

God I got 57.

don't know if that's many.

[civic wharf]

not ingame now but I'd say I average about 2-3 stashes per hour

[hoary veldt]

Depends on how often you go stash hunting hunting

[wanton pecan]

that is a lot

[fluid tartan]

is it safe to add new mods i read that we can but iam kinda worried xD

[topaz smelt]

also the deep pockets achievement seems broken, i went 200k over 1m and didnt getit

[trim bloom]

it's 10M
