[stable stag]

Oh my bad. Didnt see it got updated to include that. I put up with crashing for ages before figuring it out

[noble oar]

Does anyone know what mod disables random stalker trading?

[uneven moat]

Don't know which mod does that. But Grok made a post in #📢announcements about him disabling it.

[willow hawk]

GAMMA no trade with random stalkers

[noble oar]

okay, its a standalone addon, cool

[wanton trellis]

hey man, I am still cant find it, is it suppose to be here?

[lapis silo]

#╭📖faq message here is your answer

#╭📖faq @wanton trellis

[wanton trellis]

omg, thank you very much, rly helps me out, thnx man

[brisk zinc]

You're welcome

[slow fox]

What does reduced Alife mean gameplay wise for npc and mutants? In terms of simulation distance or behaviour?

[warped ginkgo]

they dont load for the player and dont do anything i think

[slow fox]

Ah so i wont get swarmed by freedom once i shoot one of the guys outside the base

[warped ginkgo]

like if its very low you can snipe a squad from far ande they dont do anything st least thats what i read once

[vernal wharf]

The artifact didn't spawn i think, i can't find it and the detector doesn't pick it up either

[muted spindle]

is there a loner trader in Agropro area? there was one in tunnel if I remember, but not here

[graceful iron]

go further south, its in a 2 floor building

[graceful iron]

no, probably in another stalker game there was a trader there

[muted spindle]

ok, thx

[vernal wharf]

Thanks, i got it

[gleaming robin]

X Where can I donate to Grok ?

[graceful iron]

#💰donations

[gleaming robin]

Oh thanks didnßt see dat

[carmine wyvern]

The hole in the fence for Doc should be added as a Waypoint for a questmarker

As a newby its annoying to find the passage

[elder wedge]

is it normal not to see any traders selling guns/armor throughout my playthrough?

[exotic creek]

yeah, it's part of the 'gamma economy'

makes you have to look for the good shit instead of buying it

you can disable it in the mcm and use trader overhaul instead if you dont like it

[elder wedge]

appreciate it pal

[mild trout]

Is the ranger gasmask considered the best overall? Or do you guys carry another one that has decent ballistic protection

[north turret]

I'm gonna try my luck asking again, so if you know anything that can help me out, pls reply thams. I'm using linux, and EFP runs fine, but Anomaly with GAMMA does not, and I already tested enough things to know the problem is the patched binary executable of the game, since replacing it with vanilla anomaly's binary will run the game and return the jar error as it should be expected, this is probably wine (the windows app runner) missing a deppendency, if anybody knows, what is the difference between the patched EFP binary and GAMMA's?

I find so strange that one runs and the other doesn't

[brisk zinc]

TO isn't about getting weapons and armors back

It's not related at all

[exotic creek]

oh my bad

thought it was, read it wrong then

[brisk zinc]

#╭📖faq message

[exotic creek]

yeah, my mistake

[willow hawk]

Disable Reshade

Remove dx something dll file from Anomaly bin folder

[exotic creek]

dxgi.dll i think

[native night]

is there supposed to be snow or is it just fucked up shaders and my gpu is dying?

[willow hawk]

#│🔧troubleshooting

[north turret]

moved the reshade folder and dxgi.dll from the folder, no luck

[severe scaffold]

is #📍577-mods-in-mo2 include Agressor Reshade? because its unchecked by default for me. I only have 297 active mods, I did complete install multiple times and I still getting crash after loading . Here is the log.

[rare sluice]

What hardware you using? This is what went wrong "Not enough memory resources are available to complete this operation." Also, aggressor is not included in the #📍577-mods-in-mo2.

[severe scaffold]

Ryzen 3 5300U, its a laptop. It was fine before the update

[rare sluice]

When did you last update before this?

[severe scaffold]

like 10 minutes ago, I do it multiple times and the result are the same

[rare sluice]

Did you check #╭📖faq and #│🔧troubleshooting ?

[brisk zinc]

How many mods do you have? Any red crosses in MO2?

I don't like that "multiple times"

[rare sluice]

He said 297

[brisk zinc]

Hm okay

I don't know what's the new mod

It should be that one about no trading with random NPCs

But it should be an optional

[severe scaffold]

I'm gonna try this first I guess. Thanks for the help

[rare sluice]

That one is not optional

[brisk zinc]

Seriously?

Rip

It doesn't even have any dependencies or conflicts

[rare sluice]

Do you mean optional as it comes active?

[brisk zinc]

It's enabled by default

But you can disable it

Source: me

Because my game works without it

297 without, 298 with

Found the missing mod (probably)

@severe scaffold check in #╭📖faq how to send your mod list and send it here

[severe scaffold]

here it is

[rare sluice]

@brisk zinc He has no trade with random stalkers

[severe scaffold]

no trade with random stalker is active

[willow hawk]

Search for "Linux" on this server. I think people solved it already

[brisk zinc]

You're missing "Grok's and Darkasleif's Armor Exchange"

Even this should be an optional

Your problem is related to memory in some way

[abstract trout]

is there somewhere where I can read the differences between dx8-10-11?

[brisk zinc]

DX11 have NVGs, DX8 as well by doing something, DX10 probably too

DX11 needs a beefy computer, DX8 and 10 doesn't

[abstract trout]

thx

[vernal scaffold]

I'm not an expert here, but that happened to me when playing around with the gloss_factor. Keep it to 0.001

[molten siren]

How do I stomp little creatures?

[wise sparrow]

press your use key, default is F

[north turret]

it works now, thank you so much

[willow hawk]

What was the issue ?

So we can write this down in #╭📖faq

[exotic lichen]

Mhm dudes, is it okay that an monolith squad had come to an ATP at cordon and in first hour of gameplay?

Kinda nice from the game to help me after save_files incompatability after update

But questionable

[muted spindle]

is your sky same at night? It looks quite pixelated and I dont know why. But only at night

[exotic lichen]

Upd looked at gunfire through demo_rec, second squad attaks rookie willage

[wise sparrow]

can anyone confirm if regular zombies are dropping meds again? I loaded up a really old save and some zombies that were spawned by a task for butcher dropped an army medkit and a fentanyl.

[north turret]

for me, making gamma work on linux:
required using a precompiled version of wine pretty sure the compiled one I was using was giving some issues, right now I'm running it through wine 7.2 on lutris with these options (see picture)

for the dlls needed to run the game, or at least what worked for me, using winetricks:

• cmd
• d3dcompiler_47 (should be enough but I got 46,43 and 42 installed too just in case)
• d3d11_43 and/or any directx version you want to play with
• d3dx9
• dx8vb
• dxvk for vulkan translation from directx
• quartz
• vcrun2019 (should install all packages from 2015 to 2019)

DO NOT ENABLE WARFARE ALIFE OVERHAUL
it made my game crash on the loading screen

for the installer I was using a virtual machine and it did the job, but I guess installing dotnet from winetricks and powershell on linux, should make it work, although I can't be arsed to look into it atm

have tested this just with dx11, want to do some tests with dx8 because I like my game to look janky
edit: it works on dx10 and dx8

[south jungle]

So, tell me. The ingame tips say that pressing left Ctrl when hovering over an item displays its stats at 100% durability. Somewhere in here I've read that it's left Alt. Neither seem to work.

Are my keybindings screwed or something?

[vernal wharf]

Is the armor traiding system supposed to give always the same armor if I chose the sameoption?

Traded 5 different armors and this is what i've got. Also cant trade the merc one for some reaseon

[sudden egret]

mine looks like this often and I hate it

[chilly nebula]

@willow hawkI know you have a very precise idea and I don't want to doubt it. So please understand it only as a question: What do you think about stalkers being able to trade weapons among themselves? Within the faction for the sake of trust and "ballanced" in terms of condition and prices. So it's almost as if it were taken from real life and therefore, at least in my mind, very realistic? Is that possible at all?

[abstract trout]

I have the same problem. Have been searching for this and tried everything. No solution. It is called color bleed and banding btw if it helps...

It is most probably about sky brightness. So far I found that we cannot change sky brightness only. We change all brightness and in this case we need to somehow change sky brightness only. Some ppl were saying that if you turn on debug menu, press f7 in game and press 3 afterwards, you will see sky brightness value for each type of weather. But there was no such option.

[mystic oar]

Your game looks super over exposed, so that would be what's causing (for the most part) the banding in the sky

[muted spindle]

its full moon night

[dire garnet]

ZCP random squad enabled ?

[carmine wyvern]

whats the button/name of the setting to switch the magnfication on the elcan ?

or use the canted reddot on other guns for example

[sudden egret]

underbarrel grenade launcher, default v

the specterdr can't actually switch 1x/4x iirc, it just swaps to backup ironsights

[carmine wyvern]

interesting thank you

[desert robin]

With the alife distance change in the last update, basically you won't hear distant battles anymore, there will be less 'action' in general by a considerable margin, by like 2/3 due to the distance from 750 to 250 as anything outside of 250m will be considered 'offline' now won't it? Was just wondering why this was changed. Not saying its bad or anything, just it takes away a bit of the 'happenings' of the map you're in by such a huge amount.. I'd figure it gives some significant performance but just curious if theres anything else

i guess it 'localizes' happenings to be more around the player, than some distant duels and stuff taking place far away from you. Maybe thats a good thing, idk. The world is just less alive than it was before by quite a big margin is all.

[willow hawk]

It can happen with ZCP sometimes

[willow hawk]

It's left control

[willow hawk]

Yes always the same armor. It's just to got an armor from your faction for RP, nothing more

[south jungle]

Weird. Okay, gimme a sec to check again.

I presume that I press it when hovering over the item?

[willow hawk]

My problem is, I don't really how to balance this to make it interesting while not being OP

Trading very bad condition guns for a price is useless

Trading good condition guns for a price is too OP and defeats the purpose of the current economy

[south jungle]

Okay, it works, thanks!

(I thought it'd also show the condition at 100% and was looking only at that, dumb me)

[ruby rune]

Listen if you get a gun to 100% you either use it yourself or keep it for parts xd

And parts you can sell

So keep that in mind atleast

[willow hawk]

#old-only-installer-support and try reading #old-how-to the video is a bit outdated

[ruby rune]

I think you should go to #old-only-installer-support

[amber tide]

ive enabled the mod that allows npcs to wear armor you give them but it doesnt seem to be working, ive done it mid playthrough so maybe thats the issue? any insight would be helpful

[tranquil matrix]

Cheers

[ruby rune]

Cheers mate

[amber tide]

this one to be exact

[fallen roost]

So i updated my gamma installation today and now my game crashes when i try to change levels. Had a savegame in Rostok and tried to change level to Warehouse and after the loading bar was complete it crashed. Checked the Anomaly files in the autostarter and now it shows that all my DX8-11.exe files are corrupted.

[wise sparrow]

Gamma uses modified exes so that’s normal. Post your log in #old-bugs

[brisk zinc]

It's broken, we already know

[amber tide]

oh i didnt know it was broken, but i reinstalled it and its working now

[brisk zinc]

Well that's new

What did you do?

[fallen roost]

I posted the log in Bugs.

[brisk zinc]

Answered you already

The game is on your desktop

Read #old-how-to properly

It's clearly written what you CAN'T do

Putting stuff on desktop is asking for troubles

[fallen roost]

Okay damn. It worked the whole time tbh

[brisk zinc]

Doesn't matter

It can work forever or for five minutes

It will break sooner or later, 100% guaranteed

You are the living proof it breaks

And you're not the only one as well

[fallen roost]

so can i simply copy the game to D: and its fine again?

Or is it now fu*ked 😄

[brisk zinc]

You'll need to change paths in MO2, you're not fucked, don't worry

If you managed to change paths, that's fine

Or

You can move everything to D:

You delete the "mods" folder inside your GAMMA folder

Open the installer with admin rights

Update GAMMA data > Complete GAMMA installation

No, you won't download everything again

You already have the mods inside a folder called "downloads", inside GAMMA

[fallen roost]

yeah

[brisk zinc]

This is the quickest and safest way if you can't manage to change paths in MO2

[fallen roost]

Thank you

[brisk zinc]

Make sure you have the latest installer, grab it in #📢announcements

Version 3.6

[chilly nebula]

Maybe as something like that you have to get them into round about 60 to 80% condition before sellig them? But yes... this way it´s to easy. Or could the weapon parts also be taken into consideration? Would that be possible?

[fallen roost]

oh yeah im on 3.1

[brisk zinc]

Change it asap

Don't do the complete installation without the latest installer

[chilly nebula]

Yes, I know that. My only concern with the idea was the realism factor. Just like in real life: official traders are the ones who get screwed, while the black market is a hot one. 😉

[quiet rock]

guys hello

anyone knows what causes this?

[ruby rune]

Man 🤝

[quiet rock]

it happens from time to time

to hand a weapon models too

[chilly nebula]

🎤 let it snow let it snow let it snow...

[chilly nebula]

did you change anything in the agressor preset?

[ornate salmon]

i swear you guys never read #│🔧troubleshooting and #╭📖faq ...........

[quiet rock]

nothing

[ornate salmon]

@quiet rock type this in console

r2_gloss_factor 0.001
r2_gloss_min 0.5

[quiet rock]

is it a permanent change?

[ornate salmon]

type it

[quiet rock]

just did. it worked

thanks

[ornate salmon]

no problem

[quiet rock]

so, every time that happens i type that? or is there a permanent solution to it

[ornate salmon]

every time it happens, type that

yes

for easy access put it in a notepad or smthn

thats personally what i did

[brisk zinc]

Soon™️ on #╭📖faq

[carmine wyvern]

is there a big difference between improvised psy helmet and improved except the cost ?

[ornate salmon]

dont worry about it

go for the calibrated one

just dont even think about the comparison or question

[brisk zinc]

You can't proceed in the main quest story after a certain point

[ornate salmon]

100% go for calibrated

[carmine wyvern]

i always went for the calibrated one

[brisk zinc]

I don't remember exactly where though

[carmine wyvern]

i just didnt know if if the 17k roubles in difference actually do something

[brisk zinc]

The better version is better because it "protect" you in that specific place

That's why you need to pay 17k roubles in difference
Because it's better

[carmine wyvern]

probably the powerplant or generator

[brisk zinc]

IIRC but I really don't, the first thing you can turn off it's fine

The second, no

[carmine wyvern]

so the lab in Yantar is probably fine

but the lab in Radar probably not so much

[brisk zinc]

Using names, IIRC, the Miracle Machine is fine

The Brain Scorcher no

[carmine wyvern]

gotcha

thanks

[brisk zinc]

Again I could be wrong but that's the thing

Like I said, better is better because better protection

[carmine wyvern]

30k isnt the world so i will go for the calibrated one as per usual

[brisk zinc]

Yes, it's for the best

It's only a story item

[carmine wyvern]

the 3 day waiting sucks tho

[brisk zinc]

It doesn't really protect you

But for the story you need to have it, so it's better to have the calibrated one on your head

[carmine wyvern]

ye i know

[sudden egret]

imo the non calibrated should just be removed

It's a trap for new players basically

[little needle]

I thought ( could be wrong, haven't tested in a while) that the non calibrated reduced the timer on both machines before you die when trying to turn them off.

But when I did the yantar one, I don't remember any timer at all this playthrough. So maybe it's been removed?

[faint hull]

Do you lose reputation and goodwill for killing another loner if theres no witness?

He kinda looted my kill

[ornate salmon]

dont give me the credit on the command falco, give me credit on helping people WITH the command, the command is originally in #│🔧troubleshooting but nobody bothers to look there

its so high up

[hearty granite]

guys i enable the npc armor visual mod, and my npc still doesnt wear shjts that i give them

does it require a fresh new game?

[frail sphinx]

where can I get the psy helmet if im a bandit

[dense ridge]

The technician area in the rookie map (northwest of the railroad bridge) is always filled with bandits. Even inside just fighting while traders sitting there. Is that normal haha?

[atomic briar]

i got from secret compartment prototype of life support system but it disappeared from inventory i have used debug mode to see what it whas i see it has yellow icon insted of white it is not the first upgrade kit 'yellow' that vanish after picking it up am i missing some mod or ?

[south jungle]

You mean, the farm in Cordon?

it happens quite often, yes

bandit squads sometimes get it as a travel target, and sometimes manage to defeat the stalker squads that are in the location (or sometimes there's just nobody home) and end up standing in the building and unloading on the immortal technician

[dense ridge]

Haha yup exactly what I was experiencing that's funny

[south jungle]

I call that free items

[dense ridge]

ya for sure

[south jungle]

Although there supposedly is a mod in GAMMA that makes him defend himself

[tranquil matrix]

Guys am I just bad or can I not figure out how to cook. Super close to active camp fire, right click food and nothing. Do I need a vessel?

a dang spork!

[faint hull]

you need one of these two

[tranquil matrix]

DANG BOI THEY SPENSIVE!

[faint hull]

as you can see there they have a lot of uses

you also wont need to pay for food so it kind of pays for itself

the red one needs kerosene but the blue one just a campfire

[tranquil matrix]

Appreciate ya pimps

[tranquil matrix]

I'm losing blood from these limps. Bandages don't seem to work

I belive i'm a healthy boi, yet still I suffer.

[frail sphinx]

how can I get a spy helmet?

[tranquil matrix]

^^ I'm dying Alcard! Help me please god!

I'm rotting from the inside you have to help me Alocard!

[frail sphinx]

are u near a eletrical anomaly?

[limber sorrel]

Just stop dying

[tranquil matrix]

Na I'm in Condon

Cordon*

[frail sphinx]

send me a print of the full screen

[tranquil matrix]

I'm healthy Right! Tell me im a healthy boi!

[frail sphinx]

hmmm u seem to have mutant aids

[tranquil matrix]

I knew it!

[frail sphinx]

[tranquil matrix]

its creeping down

I'm wasting away. (can you actually tell me what it is?)

I figured it out, I don't read things well. I'm never going to make it out of the zone

[quiet rock]

did you use post healing meds?

[exotic creek]

#│📚manual message

quick guide on healing

[tranquil matrix]

Copy. how do I concrete the torso health?

[exotic creek]

bandage for yellow healing

[exotic creek]

vinca or yadulin for white torso HP

yadulin heals like 30-40% of the bar

[quiet rock]

ibuprofen also *post-heals all body parts

[tranquil matrix]

Okay jesus

[quiet rock]

it's a bit difficult to come by. i usually craft it

[tranquil matrix]

God dam Rubik's cube

[exotic creek]

bro, read the manual man. Cannot recommend it enough

[fresh jewel]

got a random question

how do I get expert tools?

[quiet rock]

stash rewards

[exotic creek]

it may look complicated at first, but you'll get the hang of it once you read it

[quiet rock]

on the northern maps

usually green icon stashes have better chances of dropping it

[fresh jewel]

okay so stashes in Zaton? or outskirts/prip

[exotic creek]

yeah

[quiet rock]

i guess so. i'm at Jupiter atm but don't have much stashes marked

[fresh jewel]

jeez im unlucky then

[quiet rock]

and didn't drop either

[fresh jewel]

I have found multiple tool kits but no expert yet

[exotic creek]

yeah expert is kinda rare, like it should be. Just keep looking north of the zone

places like red forest and above

[fresh jewel]

roger

just want a set so I can run an Exo

[little shoal]

So, I had enough fun with dynamic faction relations memes.
How do I edit faction standings back to default values?

[exotic creek]

save up some dolans before you rush that exo

they're a little pricey to manage

[fresh jewel]

I am loaded

I got my gucci loadout before I got to rostok

[exotic creek]

haha, nice man

[frail sphinx]

oh u ment the yellow bar XD

[fresh jewel]

This is my current setup

[exotic creek]

nice!

you a heavy boy

[fresh jewel]

I horde repair stuff so I weigh a lot always

also have a shit ton of 556

[exotic creek]

yeah i see that

personally i like doing stashes around the map

most of my hunting shit is in garbage in a nutsack near Butcher

Big boy stuff in Yanov, etc

[wise sparrow]

are you wearing a helmet?

[frail sphinx]

is there any way to get the psy helmet if im a bandit

[exotic creek]

disguise yourself

[fresh jewel]

yup disguise

[frail sphinx]

so i need to kill a ecologist and go on their base?

[fresh jewel]

no any faction thats neutral with them

stalker,duty,freedom,clear sky

any of those outfits will work

[exotic creek]

no, kill a random stalker the ecologists are allied/neutral with. Wear their skin in good condition, and talk to sakharov

[frail sphinx]

well im using a monolith

so need to change

xD

[fresh jewel]

yeah that wont work

[exotic creek]

yeah just kill a clear sky. they're friends with like 80% of the factions if you cant get a nerd suit

[fresh jewel]

clear sky best faction

worst armor though

[exotic creek]

chad sky

[fresh jewel]

minus the exo

[exotic creek]

bandits are the best faction imo

to each their own

[frail sphinx]

well I killed a mercenary I was on their base xD

[atomic briar]

Ok how to turn on laser on the gun

[frail sphinx]

i think is always on

[fresh jewel]

hold L

it will turn on and off the laser

[atomic briar]

ty it did

[fresh jewel]

with the laser on some guns can use the laser as an alternate optic

so acog plus laser

hit v and you can swap between laser and acog as an optic

[sage bloom]

is there an option to repair armors besides crafting the repair kits?

[buoyant grove]

Anyone know where I can get mags for the forester k98?

[woven garden]

whenever i pull up my pda it says "fatal error: internal memory corruption detected"

not a crash or anything it literally just says that in the pda

[faint hull]

Does the hit sounds have any meaning?
When i shoot a dude and it makes a metallic noise does it mean he took no damage?
When it makes a punch impact noise?

[quiet rock]

yes they do

metallic either you are hitting bullet proof? zones and your ammo isn't enough to penetrate it

i guess

[warped ginkgo]

maybe you disabled pda usage, i think it's a option in ZCP MCM tab if i don't remember wrong

[woven garden]

oh yeah i did haha

im so stupid

ty bro

[rocky bone]

will any isg members disappear after their storyline is finished when playing as them?

[worn elbow]

hey Grok, if i want to change crafting recipes for ammo where would i look

gonna tune down hydro crafting recipe a little

[dense ridge]

It says to highlight to show what tools i'm missing but nothing shows

This is for a handgun and I have the handgun toolkit

[vapid harbor]

You need basic tools

[jagged lance]

you need basic tools for the first tier

[vapid harbor]

It's weird that higher tiers don't retroactively work, it's a vanilla thing

[jagged lance]

idk how it works because some midtier upgrades can be done with mechanics and some cant

[dense ridge]

okay thanks

where does one get basic tools xD

[vapid harbor]

Stashes

[dense ridge]

okay perfect i have like 10 to hit up

thank you

[wise sparrow]

you also get a guaranteed set for giving hip the toz194 + 20 buckshot or bringing 20 sips of nemiroff to spirit at the ecologist bunker in yantar

[vapid harbor]

Oh that's right

[worn elbow]

can also get them from the lottery but it's kinda rare

and also

not what you want by that point

lol

[graceful iron]

there is an addon "smoother upgrade progression" or something, it allows some upgrades and also changes upgrade prices

[dense ridge]

is that in the mod pack already?

[graceful iron]

yes

[dense ridge]

like you just have to enable it

nice

[graceful iron]

lower tier upgrades are less expensive and higher tier ones are more expensive

[dense ridge]

but you can use the mechanic to do them?

[graceful iron]

yes, you need to give the mechanic those toolkits first tho

you should always keep one full set of tools and give extras to mechanics

[dense ridge]

nice nice thank you. Made my first full gun 100% condition and parts. Just need to do armor. Are basically all kits going to come from stashes?

[worn elbow]

tool kits? yes

armor/weapon repair kits? no

you'll generally buy those or craft em yourself

[dense ridge]

oo okay

are binoculars hard to find?

haven't seen any

[graceful iron]

you need to start with one or craft it

basic tools should allow you to craft one

[dense ridge]

got the tools. Wow I feel like I missed a lot not getting this quicker

[pine glacier]

Where can i buy 5.45 ammo as a loner?

[worn elbow]

freedom, CS

[dense ridge]

i'm getting an unknown path message when i walk into a particular room in dark valley

[carmine wyvern]

You didnt unlock the Path yet

You need to go to a Trader and unlock the passage for x amount of Roubles

You need the Passage for Lab X-18

[dense ridge]

interesting, thank you

[carmine wyvern]

That one is also relevant for a quest later on

So you might aswell get all the Passage for the different Labs while you are at it

[soft leaf]

there's a quest item that unlocks that route

[carmine wyvern]

Or you might also get it from Stalker PDAs

[soft leaf]

you find it really early on in living legend

[soft leaf]

pdas don't give out those routes

[carmine wyvern]

Mhm

I play with Accesible Mode off anyway

But good to know that I can save some money

[dense ridge]

i turned that off too

it's my first time will it make it a lot harder

[carmine wyvern]

Its more fun that way

Cuz you got another money sink so you cant progress as fast

But that is not an issue in Gamma anyway

[dense ridge]

i'm everything on easy right now haha

took me awhile to figure all this out, but now I do feel the guns could do more dmg

like the npcs shooting me

[carmine wyvern]

I play Hard + Survivalist + non Accesible Mode + Campfire + Agony

Safe to say I hate myself

[dense ridge]

:p

[carmine wyvern]

I spend 3 hours yesterday trying to kill 2 Duties in Garbage

After 10 tries I've finally done it

And let me tell you, hitting a F5 at a campfire and seeing "game saved" was one of the best feelings

[carmine wyvern]

Damage depends on Barrel Condition and Ammo

[dense ridge]

Yeah

[carmine wyvern]

If you fight Stalkers, AP Ammo is almost always neccesary

[dense ridge]

that stuff is pretty light coming from tarkov

[ornate salmon]

oh no

[dense ridge]

i just mean the gunplay could be harder now that I've spent a few hours figuring this out

[ornate salmon]

but anyways, remember not to use good ammo on bandits in the south areas

those mfs die to a single buckshot shell from 20 meters

unless they have a lc suit

[ornate salmon]

or at least in my experience

10-20 meters

[dense ridge]

pretty much

so far it seems like they did a good job of what ammo you need to use from looking at them

jackets

armor etc.

[ornate salmon]

think of them as low level scavs not worth of your BP ammo

since u come from tarkov

[carmine wyvern]

The barrel of my AK12 had 25% condition and I had to shoot 30 rounds of 5.45 AP to a Monolith Nosorogs Head for him to finally drop

[dense ridge]

are there shops in this meadow area

[carmine wyvern]

After "upgrading" to a 48% Barrel it took me only 15 rounds

[carmine wyvern]

Meadow feels like a Placeholder Level

There nothing of relevance in there

[dense ridge]

there was a bunch of loners here I thought maybe this was the other starting zone

ah well off i go then

[carmine wyvern]

Nah

Meadows and Darkscape are fucking useless

[dense ridge]

does anyone mess with the 'can't see foliage' option?

[carmine wyvern]

Stalker Lost Alpha did something interesting to Darkscape atleast, but in Anomaly its barren

[dense ridge]

grok says it's imba

[carmine wyvern]

Disable it

[dense ridge]

what if i make the AI harder

[carmine wyvern]

You can shoot through, enemies cant, you can easily cheese them

[dense ridge]

i feel like i get cheesed in the swamp

when i can't see shit xD

[carmine wyvern]

Swamp is the exception

[dense ridge]

oh okay

[carmine wyvern]

But I would keep it off regardless

[celest mural]

Anyone know why it gives me a dll file error when I try to launch the game?

[dense ridge]

i downloaded more ram

[carmine wyvern]

How many mods do you have @celest mural

[celest mural]

I don't have any mods for it rn I just downloaded it

[carmine wyvern]

Theres the issue

If you have #📍577-mods-in-mo2 in your ModLoader everything is fine

[celest mural]

Really

[carmine wyvern]

Whats your Installer Version?

[dense ridge]

thanks for the help

[celest mural]

1.5.1

[carmine wyvern]

Thats anomaly

I mean gamma

The Gamma installer

[celest mural]

Oh I haven't installed gamma yet cause I couldn't get the game to launch

[carmine wyvern]

Oh okay

Did you unpack the Anomaly files with 7Zip?

[celest mural]

Yes

[carmine wyvern]

Okay and if you try to start via the Anomaly Launcher it crashes

[celest mural]

Yes and it gives me the dll error

[carmine wyvern]

Weird

[tidal raft]

If you have problems launching Anomaly itself, you should probably ask for help on the official Anomaly discord.

[celest mural]

Oh ight

[muted spindle]

Is there a reason, why is every artrefact found in enemy bodies almost ruined?

[vale timber]

what does "reset graphics settings" do?

[tidal raft]

For balance.

[oak vine]

how do I get an wxpert toolkit? is it just really rare?

expert

[tidal raft]

They are rare and only appear in stashes parallel with Red Forest and upward.

[oak vine]

ok thanks does the loot change all around up there?

[willow hawk]

read up the manual in PDA > GUIDE > GAMMA

[tidal raft]

Grok recently pushed a change to make contents in northern stashes more worthwhile.

[oak vine]

it does exactly that.

[vale timber]

oh

[carmine wyvern]

I love that the Workbench time is 5 minutes

[brisk zinc]

Where is the question?

[tidal raft]

Just open your own from inventory.

[brisk zinc]

Also yes, use your toolkit, the vice is useless

[carmine wyvern]

With toolkit you mean the ones for the mechanics?

[tidal raft]

#│📚manual

[carmine wyvern]

Got none, gave it to Hog

Need the rep

[tidal raft]

#JustMercThings

[carmine wyvern]

Exactly

Need Rep and Money

[tidal raft]

-for brains.

[carmine wyvern]

Sounded like a smart decision in that very moment

[tidal raft]

[carmine wyvern]

And since I saw that a Advanced Toolkit costs 5 Basic Toolkits + other small stuff I am certain i will find more 😂

[carmine wyvern]

Are there a finite amount of Ecologists offering the Anomaly Sample Quest?

I killed the Ecologist in Army Warehouse due to bad relations, will a different one spawn or did I fuck up by accident

I know of one in Dark Valley, but I try to avoid him for the time being

[brisk zinc]

It's a main quest

Don't worry about it

It's a stupid useless fetch quest

Do yourself a favor and fail it if you have it

[carmine wyvern]

😂

[brisk zinc]

The quest isn't infinite

You get a letter at the hand

Stupid ass broken quest

[north turret]

same goes with package quests unless your grinding rep unpack that shit like its a early christmas present

its ALWAYS worth it

you get either all the good repair tools or some good meds

hell i got 2 rebirth meds from a package one time

its pretty much guranteed to get either a army medkit or a science stimpack

[carmine wyvern]

Might do that with Factions i dont neccesarily like

[north turret]

i always do that to one where i gotta give a package to duty

fuck duty

fucking stupid ass military larpers that their rich dads couldent get them a high rank in the actual military

[clever hound]

I don't understand, Why Grok pushing Gamma so much to Gamma 1.0 ? What's the point of that ? He already adds content almost everyday and provide fixes.

[frail sphinx]

I just want the magazine update

[granite tundra]

Question if anybody knows

WPO has this option in MCM called "fun level"

The fuck does it do ?

[north turret]

i think he justs wants a "finished" version of it so people can make yt videos on it and get GAMMA more coverage

[clever hound]

But Gamma will never be finished. It's like having a disabled child. You have to take care of him or it will crack its head somewhere and die.

[north turret]

fucking hell that went to a 100 quick dident it?

[frail sphinx]

wtf did I just read

[clever hound]

There is always something to fix

Gamma is not a destination. It's a journey

Therefore, it doesn't really matter what version Gamma is called. Those who wanted to experience this trip has already found this Discord and its amazing community. And I hope more people will find it and experience unforgiving zone.

[south jungle]

Gamma 1.0 is the friends we picked up along the way

[graceful iron]

has to do with voicelines when jamming, nothing important

[muted spindle]

how can I recruit Hip? I bring her a shotgun, but now she doesnt speak with me

[civic wharf]

check if it's the exact model, it needs to be 100% condition (parts condition doesn't matter), then I think you have to wait until night or for a day to get another quest from her

she should say something like "let's talk by the fire"

[muted spindle]

well, its some time from the shotgun quest...

nothing else

[tidal raft]

Did you read the dialogue after delivering it?

[muted spindle]

yea, but its some time, I dont remeber, what was it about

[brisk zinc]

Try to bring her a can of tuna

[tidal raft]

Bring a can of tuna.

[civic wharf]

yeah that was it, the can of tuna then you get the quest to collect artifacts for Sidorovich and she should be able to come with you at that point

[muted spindle]

[obsidian patrol]

Anyone else has issues with the personal stash loading time, if there are too many items in it? I should make some ammo to get rid of the components I guess.

[muted spindle]

and one more problem, trader on farm can be killed? Its noon and he is not here

bandits often spawns here , so maybe it was them

[frail sphinx]

someone knows where is it?

[civic wharf]

every container loads longer the more different items you have in it, my main stash is ~15 guns, a couple armors and lots of repair stuff, takes about 2 seconds to fully load, nothing too bad

[brisk zinc]

It's normal

Create multiple stashes

Don't overfill just one

[frail sphinx]

I think at night he is not there

[obsidian patrol]

Is there a danger to crash the game? Because meanwhile even the music cuts für a second

[brisk zinc]

If you don't want to create multiple stashes, just don't overfill the one you're using

Or donate stuff to traders/drop it around

[muted spindle]

yea, i know, but i have 11 am right now

[brisk zinc]

No it shouldn't be a problem

It just takes some time because you have stuff

[obsidian patrol]

Very good. Because I'm a hoarder. Thanks!

[civic wharf]

this is your friend

[brisk zinc]

Unfortunately being a hoarder lead to this

[frail sphinx]

bruh the stash was right on my face

[brisk zinc]

Rip trader

New game time

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

[muted spindle]

really?

[brisk zinc]

From what I know you can't just "resurrect" a trader

[obsidian patrol]

After collecting roughly 5k bullets, casings and propellant i was a bit scared the game froze for a second

[brisk zinc]

You can also reload an older save, of course

[muted spindle]

well I dont know, when this happend 😄

I just came here, and he was not there, so I go to Darkscape and back and still nothing 😄

[brisk zinc]

He can't really go anywhere, you know

He's probably dead because bandits and the body despawned after a while

[frail sphinx]

then he is not dead

[muted spindle]

F for him...traders should be imortal...

[frail sphinx]

just come back later and he will be there

or be like me become the bandit

[brisk zinc]

He can't go anywhere, he can't move, literally

[muted spindle]

he is not important, or is he?

[frail sphinx]

he can he disapeared a lot of times on my last run

[brisk zinc]

He's just another Sidorovich, I don't think he have special stuff, it's good to have him there because Xenotech is there

[frail sphinx]

then I sleept and puff he was there again

[brisk zinc]

Try to sleep at this point

[summer sandal]

can you use life granter on invictus?

[muted spindle]

well he dead

F

[brisk zinc]

Told you

[muted spindle]

but still think, trader should be immortal. Time to make base somewhero elso

[frail sphinx]

this monolith are fucking rich

[north turret]

well they worship a magical wish granting rock im sure one of them wished for a gold plated deagle

[frail sphinx]

already found 3 of them xD

[graceful iron]

yes but invictus itself is only 2 lives

[graceful iron]

did you update recently? traders and important npcs disappearing was a known issue that was resolved already

[muted spindle]

yea, yesterday last time

[silk plaza]

how do you recharge an exosuit battery?

[graceful iron]

you get a new one and drag it into the exoskeleton

[fresh idol]

Can someone please shine some light on the issue im having plz.. Why can I not upgrade my armor if I have all the things i need to do so ??

[graceful iron]

you need advanced tools for the tier 2

[brisk zinc]

Literally

[north turret]

[fresh idol]

So why does it saying it need a medium toolkit in the bottom right corner and not a advanced one ??

[graceful iron]

[fresh idol]

kinda misleading

[graceful iron]

you need both

[brisk zinc]

I can see the problem Legion is having

It's just a little bit confusing

[graceful iron]

advanced tools and medium repair kit

[brisk zinc]

Because you have toolkits, repair kits, cleaning kits, english is hard

[graceful iron]

https://tenor.com/view/umm-confused-wtf-blinking-okay-gif-7513882

[brisk zinc]

@fresh idol you're missing the ADVANCED toolkit (right @graceful iron? )

[fresh idol]

Ok Im still in the process of finding a advanced toolkit and see if that works.. It doesnt tell me that and the fact i was able to do the middle upgrade with no issue just threw me off

[graceful iron]

you need both advanced tools and a medium repair kit

[fresh idol]

anyways cheers for the help

[brisk zinc]

@graceful iron that's what I was talking about

Not having a clear thing that says "you need this" it's a little bit misleading

inb4 "but you can click "Details" on the thing and you would know it what you're missing"

And you're absolutely right about that

[graceful iron]

https://tenor.com/view/-gif-3784246

[brisk zinc]

People will always complain, it's the human nature... it always goes like this
Problem solved, BUT

[graceful iron]

[mild trout]

how does Hips questline end if you decide to go to Barkeep instead of Lukash?

i always did the Lukash route

cba reloading

[north turret]

What are good areas to hunt sin besides red forest?

[brisk zinc]

Probably just Red Forest, I don't recall Sin in other parts of the Zone

[north turret]

alright thanks 👌

[brisk zinc]

Wait for someone else, maybe they have a better answer than me

But I seriously never saw Sin outside the Red Forest

[minor star]

Sometimes they wander off to Jupiter but Red Forest is your best bet

[graceful iron]

limansk, red forest and rarely in zaton

they start spawning more when you reach mortal sin storyline

[civic wharf]

where/how do you trigger that storyline?

[tidal raft]

Anyone playing on the latest versions of GAMMA: Could you confirm how lethal one C4 (chemical IED) is against current SINners?

[mild trout]

how good is the M4 Butcher?

besides the 60 mag

[unreal anchor]

heyyy, maybe somebody knows where I can buy 5.56x45 ammo
(NATO ammo for m4 for example)
I have a reputation with Mercs and freedom and there's still nothing
Last time I checked, duty also don't sell them

[mild trout]

i think Skinflint has FMJ ammo at below 2k rep

gotta go to Yanov for AP ammo

i think

or get higher rep with Mercs and Freedomers

[unreal anchor]

Ok, I will check, thanks, cuz it's strange that they don't show up on 1k rep

[mild trout]

i know i have around 1,6k with freedom and skinflint only has FMJ ammo

i thought the same, yeah

[graceful iron]

the main storyline thats after living legend

[civic wharf]

ah alright, it currently wants me to go to Generators so I was worried I missed something

[visual goblet]

Oh, is the huge underground complex in the Generators used for anything? Haven't gotten there yet in my Gamma playtrough, but I remember being disappointed when I've visited it in Anomaly and found it completely empty

[tidal raft]

Nope. Not the one you find in the western area of Generators.

[visual goblet]

shame

[winter raptor]

how long is the military exclusive new storyline?

[tidal raft]

Just about as long as Mystery of the Zone, iirc.

[winter raptor]

oh then thats pretty good

something to look forward to as military

[silk plaza]

Can someone who knows better than me tell me what do you character skills do?

[delicate zenith]

Will ANUS and the additional portraits mod be in 1.0?

[brisk zinc]

ANUS is already in

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/dltx-151-more-portrait-icons-and-actor-visuals
This will be added as well

[delicate zenith]

It’s disabled for some reason tho

[brisk zinc]

Because it's optional

[delicate zenith]

Ah, weird

[brisk zinc]

Not really

[delicate zenith]

Always saw it as one of those net positive with no negatives kinda mods

Good to know though

[brisk zinc]

#╭📖faq message

That's why it's an optional

[delicate zenith]

Gotcha

[frigid stream]

Does anyone know if console commands like time_factor invalidate invictus? (trying to suffer through last dawn questline with the npcs that take 15 minutes to travel to combat)

[mystic oar]

bro that quest fucking infuriated me

[stray knot]

Accidently managed to turn on these parameters while panicking in a firefight does anyone know to turn them off? https://gyazo.com/4b8b1309f9b7fa800d90e6c3ed380b67

[viral vector]

"rs_stats off" in console should do it

[stray knot]

Thank you gamer 🙂

[native night]

To whom should I sell my artifacts?

Sid pays jack and shit

[stray knot]

Yantar scientist, try and get higher goodwill with them first as you will get a better price

but he pays the most

[native night]

thanks

[languid fiber]

Sorry bois i have a stupid question. When i run i lose my HP a little bit. I am not radiated nor any status is being shown that something bad is happenning

Any tips

?

[lapis silo]

Your legs are hurt, look in the bottom left there is a body health hud

If your legs are under 3 hp I think, you take damage. They have 5 max

[languid fiber]

True i got 2/5

How can i heal just my leg?

[lapis silo]

Bandage -> Ibuprofen

Is the easiest way

Ha no wait!

We have an in game manual for that now! Look in your PDA under Guide, there is a GAMMA guide now

It explains healing as well

[languid fiber]

Mod looks more and more interesting 🙂

[willow hawk]

It's bad for the russian player-base

[willow hawk]

No it doesn't

[frigid stream]

Thanks, incidentally I can't seem to activate time_factor in console anymore

maybe it was only there with debug mode enabled and it's never available during normal play in the first place

Yeah, seems like it's tied to debug mode, RIP to speeding up the last dawn quests xd (on invictus)

[amber tide]

sorry didnt see you reply, but i didnt do anything special i just right clicked reinstalled and it started to work next time i booted up

left only these checked as well

[spring grove]

small thing I noticed, in a previous playthrough I could see my character's legs, however just now updating that no longer seems to work. Was that mod removed?

[brisk zinc]

Thank you

[brisk zinc]

Just noticed myself as well

The mod should be in

I have the MCM menu

[amber tide]

no problem

[spring grove]

whats the name of the mod?

[brisk zinc]

Should be this one

[wispy crest]

Guys, is it possible to disable die degradation of the artifacts? I tried everything but cant change it..

even tried changing the scripts

nothing changed

[amber tide]

looks like with the new update he has it too stay enabled maybe? probably due to it being coded in and not easily disabled, but i dont know enough about the details of modding i just push buttons and it works or it doesnt lol

[wise sparrow]

i think it was causing empowered artefacts to be randomized when moving them around

if you changed or disabled degradation

[brisk zinc]

@vapid peak send the crash log here

Anomaly/appdata/logs

xray_yournamehere.txt

[brisk zinc]

You need to update GAMMA

Make sure you have the version 3.6 of the installer, you can grab it in #📢announcements

Then:
Open the installer with admin rights
Update GAMMA data > Complete GAMMA installation

[vapid peak]

I did before the installation need to do it again?

[brisk zinc]

Hm

[vapid peak]

Oh wait I need a new installer?

[brisk zinc]

Yes

Don't update now though

Wait for at least an hour

Moddb will block you if you try to do a complete installation now

You can update the installer if you want

Just don't do anything else

[vapid peak]

Alrighty. So I'm making a whole new client then. How do I bring my saves over?

Or I just replace the exe with this

[brisk zinc]

What

You just need to replace the exe

Don't delete anything

[vapid peak]

Oh okay good

[willow hawk]

If your game crashes when talking to traders or on startup about duplicate dialogs XML nodes:

Delete the following folders:

• GAMMA RC3\.Grok's Modpack Installer\G.A.M.M.A\modpack_addons\Grok's and Darkasleif's Armor Exchange\

• GAMMA RC3\mods\Grok's and Darkasleif's Armor Exchange\

Then Launcher the installer, perform a Update GAMMA Data > Only Install GAMMA addons.

This will fix your issue

[fresh merlin]

Can 2-scope guns have variable zoom now?

[restive condor]

Were zombified stalkers re-enabled by default now? I did an update and complete install and noticed they were spawning in a new save

[stoic moth]

They always could. Your second scope is just gonna have it as well

Variable zoom gl is hilarious

[distant pumice]

Is there any submods i can find ?

[vernal scaffold]

GAMMA already implement this kind of changes? https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/footsies

[lavish bone]

how do i heal hurt appendages (legs, arms etc)

[brisk zinc]

Read the #│📚manual
It's on your PDA as well

[vapid peak]

Says I have 297 mods active now

@brisk zinc what is armor exchange under?

[willow hawk]

yes more or less, you can try it out though

[brisk zinc]

Position 329 following the priority order

[willow hawk]

I think it still needs a bit of work before being implemented

[median lagoon]

stupid question, is latest update a supposedly gamma version 1.0?

[vapid peak]

I'm missing that one

I updated and did the add on install

[median lagoon]

I just launched the update now as per instruction in announcement and gama data was up to date. I did the complete install just to try anyway

[willow hawk]

no

[stable stag]

Sometimes medics will heal my limbs and health when I ask for a heal, other times they will only heal overall health. Anyone know what the variable is?
It's when your limbs have been pre-healed, nvm

[median lagoon]

noooo |:-D

[median lagoon]

they should always heal you full, limbs and hp

[stoic moth]

They should, but sometimes they don't. I've had it happen before too

[warped ginkgo]

hey grok how did you change the splash screen?

[sudden egret]

is the NPCs die in emissions mod going to be added? I know Grok said it was likely but it isn't in add-ons for next version

[magic reef]

i have a question, why the changes in protection when pressing ctrl? The mask is fully repaired?

[vernal scaffold]

No man, I'm fine with GAMMA. Just curious. Thank you!

[amber tide]

how do I switch from iron sites to optical scopes on the fly?

[dusky kite]

big dumb question but armour parts can be repaired somehow?

[bleak egret]

yeah, with part repair kits. sewing kits and whatnot

[dusky kite]

ok ty!

Damn then wtf

[hybrid kayak]

Hi, is there a way to disable GAMMA mods without deleting the game? So I can play Anomaly by it self?

[vapid peak]

You could download a separate anomaly file and put it somewhere not where gamma is

[warped ginkgo]

just run the normal anomaly folder

[bleak egret]

well, anomaly already is by itself

[warped ginkgo]

and not via mo2

[bleak egret]

have you updated? the update was today

[hybrid kayak]

Oh it works now, on first few attempts I had error, thanks.

[vapid peak]

Yeah a few minutes ago

[bleak egret]

dang, drop a note in #old-bugs i suppose

[sudden egret]

is there a bug with the parts condition color fix?

saw it was disabled in an update

[willow hawk]

yes it was crashing

will be updated later

hey is there a way to turn off accessible zone after the game started i accidently left it on

[dusky kite]

whats the easiest way to tell if a weapon is better than what u have or not?

is it something u just learn over time?

[bleak egret]

something you learn, or you can ask in #╟🔫loadouts . there are some guns that are generally considered better by the community

[dusky kite]

ok ty

[lavish bone]

hey is there a way to turn off accessible zone after the game started i accidently left it on

[carmine wyvern]

Nope you need a new game

[lavish bone]

shit ok

[bleak egret]

it was a trap

[carmine wyvern]

While you are at it, you might also wanna disable the Mod "Additional Level Transitions"

[lavish bone]

thanks man

[lavish bone]

lol

[carmine wyvern]

They are still included even with Accesible Mode off and are pretty easy mode

[drowsy bolt]

Reamde for perk-based artefacts says that there are 2 versions: full (which nerfs vanilla artefacts and adds perks) and lite (which only adds perks). Which version is gamma using?

[rigid kernel]

I silly question

How do I turn on and off a laser in a gun?

[warped ginkgo]

hold down the flashlight key. 'L' by default

[rigid kernel]

Thanks sir 🙂

[fleet badge]

Loading and saving causes my game to freeze for a bit, is there anything I could do to minimize the freezing time?

[rigid kernel]

Also,I am not being able to find the way to fast travel

Yes,I have it enable

[bleak egret]

look for the green houses on the pda map

[rigid kernel]

Yes I see them

But i canot interact

Neither a "menu" or doing right click

[bleak egret]

unfiilter "areas" on the pda map

[rigid kernel]

Its the same

[bleak egret]

left click

maybe?

[rigid kernel]

its the same buddy

thanks for the help anyways 🙂

[fleet badge]

you could try having debug mode on so you could teleport to nearby smarts if the main point is obscured

may not fix your problem but it may help

[rigid kernel]

Thats an option

Thank you

[strange ledge]

Anyone know how to complete lab X-8? I can't seem to find any enemies inside and I can't find all the documents either

nvm, switched to dx10 and the game doesnt freeze

hellooo getting an issue launching with all the additional addons https://pastebin.com/5dc91ATq

[bleak egret]

what additional addons?

[astral wigeon]

if I backup my current save so I don't lose this playthrough am I good to update and shit won't break? I know if this was FNV that would kill your game since it uses a plugin system but idk if Stalker hates it as well.

[bleak egret]

i update like twice a day and have never borked a save

but sure

a backup doesnt hurt

[astral wigeon]

aight

I just really don't wanna lose this one

it's the farthest I've ever been in the game

[north turret]

most of the additional ones you can tick in MCM, default in gamma

duty expansion and motz for ex

[bleak egret]

well duty is not default btw. its part of the "good addons with issues and bugs" section

and you have found some issues and bugs lol

[north turret]

upon disabling apathy's better detector, ravens tooltips, darkasleif's, runs again

well i been playin with it lol i meant default as in already included with the gamma package.

[rare sluice]

It was my mod. I forgot 5 commas.

I can send you the fixed version if you want?

[north turret]

would be great, thank you!

[brisk zinc]

Send it here

I'll install it in my mod list later

workin great now! old save loaded back up as well, thanks Darkasleif. also running on latest update of GAMMA with Eden and several mods from the other channel

[dense ridge]

Couldn't tell what it should be classed as thanks though

[drifting hearth]

Does difficulty settings affect whether or not certain equipment is sold at all? I'm at max goodwill with Loners and Sid never has any kevlar plates

Been lucky enough to find a few

[glacial prawn]

Any guesses to why I can load new games as every faction but unisg? I've got a save file with all the "bonus" factions unlocked but after loading the prompt to enter the zone appears briefly before crashing to desktop. I've played unisg before, but I was looking to start a new run and really role-playing with the disguise system

[bleak egret]

post the crashlog in #old-bugs

[glacial prawn]

I'll do my best lol

Looks like no log to post until desktop discord updates, but it's a fresh update with no additional optional mods. Could a weather or spawn multiplier be affecting the initial load somehow? It's the only two major changes I've made in the settings

Seeing now that the new updates may require a full fresh install so I suppose I'll try that overnight

[sudden egret]

is artifact price affected by condition, i.e., is it worth it to empower to full before selling?

[wise sparrow]

yes

especailly if you have a task for a high tier artefact

[fresh jewel]

got a problem with the explorers questline

got all the way to needing to meet professor vorobushkin

but the moment I get the quest it auto fails

hes dead obviously but does anyone know his Spawn ID so I can spawn him in to fix the quest

[wise sparrow]

there was a way to do this and it was pinned in #old-bugs but now it's not pinned anymore or at least im not seeing it

found it, it was pinned here in questions no wonder i couldn't find it #🔨base-gamma-support message

@brisk zinc maybe put this in the faq

[versed cedar]

Anyone know what’s going on with the water flickering effects it happened on my last install too if there’s a way to fix it

Seems to be only screen space

[faint hull]

So.. In Gamma, to get a 100% Artifact, either to use it or to sell it, you need to find duplicates of the same artifact to melt them together?

That means you need to hunt for 2, 3 of the same artifact in order to sell One?

[minor star]

I think you can sell artefacts without them being at 100% condition, of course you won't get that much money back

But tbh they are better off in your hands. 1) artefacts are powerful in GAMMA. 2) you can use low-tier artifacts to craft higher tier ones

[graceful iron]

#│📚manual yes you empower one artefact with artefacts of the same type

[faint hull]

yeah but it kind of raises the bar of entry, you need to invest a lot more money and time on it to profit.
I never really liked to mess with artifacts but on anomaly, whenever i found one I knew it was some good money.
In Gamma I find an artifact and.. ehh.. They're in so bad condition the trader doesnt even want it, If i want to fix it i need to find another of the same exact type to fix it up and sell it (that considering that 1+1 make 100% so you only need 2)

[bleak egret]

my man, every zone i walk into i get minimum like 2-3 artifacts, either from scooping them off of dead stalkers, or doin a quick run through of a nearby anomaly. you dont even need to get them to 100%, last i checked minimum was 30% to sell

[wise sparrow]

artefacts in gamma are twice as powerful as base anomaly. empowering one to 50% will be the same power as vanilla so getting a 100% artefact is well worth the effort.

[summer sandal]

what progression difficulty is worth it?

[bleak egret]

need more details m8

[rare sluice]

Do you enjoy the process of getting better gear or do you like having good gear?

[summer sandal]

i find tourist difficulty too easy, but i want to find a balance where it is both immersive, but also not too easy or too hard, l'm looking for a lore friendly progression difficulty

[graceful iron]

lore friendly ? confused screaming

[bleak egret]

well, maximum difficulty would be the most lore friendly

since the zone is fucked

[wise sparrow]

scavenger is probably good then. i like survivalist but it does limit your money quite a bit which is good if you know what you need but if you want to try out lots of different weapons/gear you'll feel limited

[summer sandal]

thanks

[wise sparrow]

you can always change/customize your difficulty in the settings as well once you have your game loaded so there's no need to lock yourself to one setting per run

[sudden egret]

I think survivalist is honestly fine even for new players

[wise sparrow]

it's balanced yeah but if you want to just repair everything and try it out it gets in the way

[faint hull]

Does backpack travel cost money?

[wise sparrow]

yeah it's just fast travel. you can adjust the fast travel costs and time delay in the mcm.

[faint hull]

what is "Fun Level" at Weapon Parts Overhaul options?

[wise sparrow]

which voice lines are used for cursing on weapon jams iirc

[fiery blade]

Hi ppl!
Big Q: can anyone tell which pistol is the quietest of them all? With silencer attached, of course.

[willow hawk]

Hard survivalist, that's what the economy and difficulty has been tailored to

[summer sandal]

i've been recently playing INVICTUS runs with mercenary and ironman Roguelite because i got bored playing Clear Sky all the time

so Hard and Survivalist i just recently got into a day or to ago, and to be honest i had more fan than easy tourist with clear sky

plus, i got into appreciating the TOZ-106 because of how cheap it is

[summer sandal]

thank you for letting me know

[willow hawk]

Yep. Easy is really easy

Especially as clear sky

It's meant to be able to learn the mechanics without being too harsh

Once you know the mechanics, you can try hard survivalist

[cerulean flume]

I tried to make my own custom mod list and it fucked up the mod list order lol Anyone know how to revert it?

[wise sparrow]

sort by priority

[summer sandal]

i'll be honest it took me a while ( i don't remember how long ago, sometime when wavey started doing GAMMA livestreams) to figure out how to fix guns and armor, i used clear sky as a sort of training wheels, now i'm up for a challenge, so that's why i chose to invictus as a merc

[cerulean flume]

Oh right. I am such a dumbass 😂

Thank buddy!

One more thing, I just realize I am missing the first mod. Is it normal?

[wise sparrow]

the first "mod" is the separator itself

[cerulean flume]

Okay. I was thinking if this is the reason as well. Thanks again

[wary field]

Does hunters kit affect zombie "skinning"?

[tranquil matrix]

I want to make fast travel easier because the back tracking is sort of buming me out. What level of fast travel do you guys play with?

[exotic creek]

you can disable the fast travel limiter. it will remove the cooldown, but keep the price

[tranquil matrix]

Would that make me a punk bitch though is really my question.

Do you keep yours on?

[exotic creek]

play however you want man, i personally keep mine on cause it encourages me to pack better until i just become rich as fuck

[brisk zinc]

With debug mode

[graceful iron]

cheats

[exotic creek]

red name behavior

[graceful iron]

carry less, use carry weight increasing meds and food, get better carry weight backpacks and suits and level up your endurance, running around the zone becomes easier and faster (also, the gun you are holding affects movement speed)

use fast travel for really far trips to places you already visited or to move your stashes from place to another

i keep my fast travel on the defaults

6 hours and 1 cost

[exotic creek]

Become Gigachad Ukrainian: Snort 3 lines of coke, drink Stalker energy, eat baba's pork (vodka hormones required), bring Rucksack, Wear Voyager Drip.

[willow hawk]

Yep exactly.

Be a chad and carry 200+ kg of shit using home cooked chimera meat + Nosorog suit with fat backpack + simply cut every mutant you find with your axe to levelup your strength

[summer sandal]

i got a weird question to ask, well technically two, how effective are TOZ-106s vs leather jackets or light armor, and is there a way to make or get slugs for 20 gauge?

[exotic creek]

If they're not wearing a helmet, barrel stuff their mouth

no 20 gauge slugs afaik, Butcher sells buck

[summer sandal]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/_4da1lpqtac

[graceful iron]

all types of buckshot can kill leather jackets and none helmet stalkers easily at close range, thats why a shotgun of any type is the perfect starting loadout

mutants and low tier stalkers dont stand a chance

there is no slug for the 20 currently

[summer sandal]

https://tenor.com/view/borat-borat-very-nice-verynice-thumbs-up-gif-25080066

[sharp field]

what are the best artefacts to wear?

[summer sandal]

early game from my experience, ball, moss, miser's skull

ball makes melee a breeze, moss allows you to temporarily absorb mutant abilities through eating raw meat, miser's skull for every headshot, you get more money from kills

[sharp field]

wouldve been good to know 3 days ago lmao, im mid-late game now

[graceful iron]

look for ballistic defenses then

[sharp field]

i only have full empty so far

[graceful iron]

and if you plan on hunting more artefacts, try getting a little bit of anomalous protection. you can easily carry 2-4 artefacts of a low tier to switch them around when you need them until you can manage to craft a volat emerald

[velvet monolith]

Hi bratans! Is there any topic/channel worth reading before I fully dive into the game? Already read all the #╭📖faq

[sharp field]

gotcha, thanks

[graceful iron]

you can dive into the game just fine and maybe look at the manual in your pda if you arent sure or confused about something

[brisk zinc]

read all the #╭📖faq

[willow hawk]

20x70 slugs are planned

it's time consuming to add new ammo sadly because of all the changes needed to be made to loot pools, mags, traders, recipes etc

[faint hull]

i'm still confused on how to kickstart your first weapons. I'm getting some progress in a merc run but i'm still with only a pistol. I gathered some guns with 60+ barrels but it makes no sense for me to fix them if the traders dont sell the ammo they need.
I have a SVD, ASVAL, SKS, AKM and AK74 but the traders don't sell any of these ammo and i've visited quite a few of them.

[willow hawk]

You can trade 5.45 ammo for vodka at Yantar

that's usually the easy place to get ok ammo early on

remember that 9x18 AP or 9x19 AP are good early on

Starting only with a pistol is really hard indeed

you can get buckshots or slugs relatively easily and early, and they are very good. You just need a shotgun without a completely broken barrel

to get ammo, your best bet is to get a gunsmith toolkit

until you get one, it's pretty rough for sure

also, you got WP ammo while being a NATO faction

that's also why Mercs are the hardest to play

[vapid harbor]

the numbers on all weapon/outfit parts is now black instead of their old respective colors, is this intentional?

[faint hull]

is there a way of tweaking the amount of ammo the enemies drop? Because, despite balance, it feels really off to kill dudes and realize they have only 1~5 rounds for their weapons.

[willow hawk]

as merc, all your enemies are WP factions, so you get WP guns, but can't buy WP ammo

[willow hawk]

not easily

just get a gunsmith kit and you'll understand why

you can easily craft hundreds of ammo with that thing

[vapid harbor]

take advantage of crafting early

[willow hawk]

and you can disassemble usless ammo and get even more parts

[vapid harbor]

it will help you a lot

[willow hawk]

buy cheap ammo, disassemble them, make other ammo with them

without the gunsmith kit as a merc: disguise, buy ALL THE VODKA you can, mass trade your vodka for 5.45 ammo at the Yantar bar man
