press v (the under barrel GL key) #│💻keybinds-in-gamma

[earnest oriole]

Its working with rifles but not my Makarov

[graceful iron]

not sure if its on all pistols but probably not

[earnest oriole]

Oh I see, thanks I tried it with the FNP and it works

[mortal pewter]

how can you get "A Wealthy Client" achievement?

[graceful iron]

do you mean heavy pockets ?

you need to have 10 mil at one time

[mortal pewter]

ah, so it's 10 mil. Russian description claim it to be one

[graceful iron]

the description didnt get changed for english as well, not really important i guess

you are supposed to only get higher trader levels through goodwill with factions

[mortal pewter]

it's easier to simply max all reputations in game, rather than get than much money. Unless I don't know something about economy

[graceful iron]

yes, its easier and the intended way of getting supplies.

the achievement was just made harder to get instead of being completely removed as it serves no purpose now

[uncut sun]

as someone whos playing bandit faction and doesnt have story mode on how do i progress north safely in the psi field? i know would need psi helmet but if story mode off i assume i cant get it only by command console unless its different in Gamma

[brisk zinc]

Debug mode and you give yourself the psy helmet

[uncut sun]

i see so command it is 🙂

[simple cipher]

does the variable zoom on scopes from kits not work? for example, the kit including the spectre scope

1-4x

[visual goblet]

spectre does not zoom, contrary to the description

also, scopes that otherwise support zooming won't zoom, if they're mounted on a gun that has canted sights

[scarlet ember]

what a ripoff

[simple cipher]

thanks for the info, sucks tho...

[willow hawk]

Specter has a canted sight integrated

Press V to switch to the top sight view

[visual goblet]

backup iron sights, you mean

[willow hawk]

Yes

[scarlet ember]

but if it's already a 1-4x at the throw of a lever (which it is?) then why

[visual goblet]

i assume the model was lifted from Tarkov and never implemented properly? vOv

[warped ginkgo]

cope

[visual goblet]

not sure how the other variable scopes work IRL, but this would (proper like) only have 2 settings (near/far), and somehow I doubt the engine supports that

[warped ginkgo]

i think the scope zoom on dual sight is fixed to a value bc you could zoom in thr canted sights too

[visual goblet]

is allright fam, I'm not complaining

[warped ginkgo]

like switch to the 1x sight on the side and then zoom to x6

thus beinge bugged

[visual goblet]

ooooh, I see

(took me a while)

[simple cipher]

any way to use NV with the PDA?

[thorny hazel]

2d pda

[simple cipher]

so no 😦

[brisk zinc]

NVG?

[simple cipher]

yeah, i meant NVG

sorry

[brisk zinc]

Settings

No

MCM settings

Probably inside Beef's NVG

Or in settings

I need to check

[gusty kiln]

There’s a setting to turn off NV when using the PDA there

[brisk zinc]

But there is one option about it

Yes

[simple cipher]

okay, thanks

[gusty kiln]

I was mulling over the bullet damage mechanics, and is Flesh Damage a multiplier to the weapon’s base damage, and does it only apply to mutants, or to stalkers as well?

Searched the Discord for answers and only got some partial info

And does AP ammo ignore the target’s armor, or does it break it? If so, one could fire AP ammo to break the armor and then follow through with HP shots for extra flesh damage

[thorny hazel]

If the ammo has greater AP than the targets BR it ignores it, if not it damages it I think

[gusty kiln]

So RIP my theoretical dual-pistol build

[empty epoch]

why my pda just dissapeared in a shotout??

[gusty kiln]

Getting shot at will occasionally make you drop stuff from your backpack, iirc

Occasionally I’ve dropped certain files

[empty epoch]

oh, good to know

[gusty kiln]

Got almost killed and yeeted a file because reasons. Pressed F and healed

I think I lost my NVG like that too, because it suddenly disappeared from my loadout

[brisk zinc]

Also spamming Shift drop stuff, very randomly

[gusty kiln]

Oh, that might be it then, might have been switching from prone to crouching

[timid jewel]

How rare are expert tools?

[mortal pewter]

I think you can "deplete" armor with repeat shots even if ammo BR is lower than armor BR, or just deal enough damage with multiple shots. But using good enough ammo kill fast anyway, so no point in switching

[timid jewel]

I've searched through like 10 stashes north of red forest and still nothing

[mortal pewter]

fun fact: if you have ammo with too low BR, aim for legs instead of head or torso. Will work better

[gusty kiln]

They are as rare as any other toolkit. Green Stashes are guaranteed to have A toolkit, but the chances are even between which will pop up (basic, advanced, expert, medical, gunsmithing)

[timid jewel]

Ah, thx

[gusty kiln]

If you just want to upgrade, I think Forester in Red Forest can do T3 upgrades from the get-go

While you search for that Expert toolkit

[gusty kiln]

I want to use pistols, but their damage is just meh mid to lategame

[mortal pewter]

one does not simply go to Forester 🙃

[gusty kiln]

Oddly enough, my trip to Red Forest was suave as hell. Had a few Ecologist and Duty squads clear up the place for me. Lady Luck was on my side

[mortal pewter]

last time I tried, it ended in battle royale between me, sin, monolith, loners and military. Got like 50 kills before I had to retreat

[gusty kiln]

Yeah, it’s often a blind shootout in the forest

[mortal pewter]

heard that pistols are OP against mutants. Especially hydroshock/357 ammo

[gusty kiln]

Ecologists even entered the Sin cave and cleared it out. Science stronk

[mortal pewter]

makes for a good sidearm when your other is something else, more anti-human

[gusty kiln]

I just want to understand if Flesh Damage is mutant-specific, or just a general damage multiplier to the gun’s base damage, armor/AP notwithstanding

[mortal pewter]

I've got no idea. AFAIK mutants have zero armor, so AP ammo is pointless or worse against them due to lower damage and being more expensive

[wanton spoke]

Playing as a Loner, is there any reason NOT to wipe out the military at Agroprom Reasearch Institute? Will it mess up any quests etc?

[mortal pewter]

it wouldn't, but it might be interesting to have options. For example you can infiltrate and do some of their quests, like bring technical kits

if you do stashes, you will have plenty of tools lying around. And handing them in via quests once per technician is decent easy money

[wanton spoke]

Interesting, thanks for the tip - haven't touched the disguise system yet so will look into how that works now

[thick pawn]

22 shots to the face to kill a pseudogiant.

with a ks-23

[mortal pewter]

was it buckshot?

[thick pawn]

yes

[mortal pewter]

well, oof. Thought that I had the same result with Saiga

or two RGD-5

they do look pretty damn huge and tanky, what can I say

I can imagine it being a problem IF they were common

[thick pawn]

yeah um, 22 shots to the head with a shotgun to something made of flesh.

they are big maybe

the fucking thing should die quicker than that

[mortal pewter]

every monolith exo can do that vs buckshot 🙃

but yeah, looks like underperforming on KS side

[thick pawn]

yes

[gusty kiln]

It takes around that many non-BaS buckshots to the face to kill a pseudogiant

I think 5-6 Saiga clips, so 24-30 I think

[thorny hazel]

just tested it with a saiga, took 29 buckshot

[thick pawn]

but if you say anything about how illogical it is, you will get called a retard and that you are just complaining about "muh realism"

[thorny hazel]

but maybe not all were to the face

[gusty kiln]

Depends a bit on distance too, you don't want to be pointblank against it

[thorny hazel]

I think 29 12ga buckshot is ok, they're not that common and are meant to be tanky

[thick pawn]

after 29 shotgun shells there shouldnt even be a head anymore.

there shouldnt be a head after 10

[gusty kiln]

Pseudogiants can smash the ground with enough force to cause a shockwave, they're massive tanks of muscle

If BaS buckshot can kill it with less shots, while being a cheaper ammo, that's still quite a win

[thorny hazel]

it's still a game, if you made every mutant die after a few buckshot ammo, which is very cheap, you would make mutants basically no threat

[thick pawn]

and the ks23 hits with enough force to damage tank tracks and stop vehicles.

[thick pawn]

id be rich if i had a dollar for every single time someone says this

[north turret]

maybe because its true?

[thorny hazel]

yes, because it is basic game design

[north turret]

not to be snarky

[thick pawn]

how many fucking times to people want to say this is my point? at what point did i suggest every mutant die after 1 or 2 shots?

im talking specifically about a specific mutant, and specific type of gun

[gusty kiln]

I thought the KS23 was a snub-nosed shotgun or something, from the in-game icon. Turns out it's normal-sized. TIL

[thick pawn]

imagine if that was your logic for everytime someone suggests that a gun or calibre needs to do more damage and be more efficient at killing

[thorny hazel]

I agree that the KS could be made a bit stronger against mutants. And maybe the ammo could be more expensive and harder to craft

[thick pawn]

you would be emptying entire mags of ammo into every single enemy no matter where u shoot them or what you use

[thorny hazel]

the one specific enemy you are talking about is meant to be the tankiest mutant in the game, so I think it's fine

[thick pawn]

exactly that is what i suggested, buff the gun to do more appropriate damage, make the ammo harder to craft and more expensive

tbh the pseudogiant is a dumb mutant

its not actually big enough or chunky enough for 29 shotgun rounds to not be laughable

its just a big chode

theres no sense of accomplishment or anything when fighting and killing a pseudogiant, all you feel is that you wasted your money and ammo

and half the time you go to loot them you might not get anything at all

[warped ginkgo]

use explosives

[snow talon]

Kinda hilarious how dogs and pseudos are more dangerous than most of the psionic enemies

[north turret]

Lure them to NPC's then free loot

[thick pawn]

im gonna assume it takes 10 rpg rockets to kill a pseudogiant?

[snow talon]

[thick pawn]

wouldnt want it dieing too easily now would we

[north turret]

The one that spawns in Dark Valley you can lure to bandits and hear them scream about it on the PDA messages

Then go loot everybody

[snow talon]

It wiped the lab garrison for me

[thick pawn]

that was fun actually

[snow talon]

People flew out of the windows

[thick pawn]

i took that one over to the building loaded with military guys

watching a pseudogiant stomp people around in the air is something else to enjoy for sure.

😆

[north turret]

See, they have their uses. Running in circles shooting them is lame, watching them toss NPC's is where its at.

[thick pawn]

had no way of killing it i only had the 20 gauge toz, so i decided to take him for a walk, this was ofc early game

oh they definitely have their uses, its hilarious

i really hope i find one in agroprom

then it can deal with my military problem at the base

i still havent wiped out the spetsnaz garrison at agroprom

so i hope i get a pseudo there

[north turret]

I've never seen one in Aproprom, idk what the deal is with mutant spawn but if I dont turn it down in MCM settings Aproprom will have like 2 chimeras fighting a packs of pseudodogs, dogs, cats, and a ton of the jumping guys with gasmasks (brainfart on their name)

[thick pawn]

pseudogiants throwing stalkers around is one of the best moments this game has to offer

its content in itself

[north turret]

oh yea, snorks. Also Yantar will have like 20 snorks just flying everywhere

[thick pawn]

havent had one in yantar yet

[north turret]

I have to to turn it down to like .4 or each map is just a mutant extravaganza

[thick pawn]

i stopped touching mutant spawn rates after entering multiple areas and getting spawn killed by 3 chimeras

or the watchmen from metro

[north turret]

I wish I could tweak specific spawns, like not lower cool monsters like controllers but lower dog spawns. Fighting dogs after a while is just tedious

[thick pawn]

and im afraid to touch spawnrates again because it caused great swamps to be extremely laggy, but only swamps. for some reason it was absolutely loaded with far too many npcs for the engine to handle

[north turret]

Sorry for interrupting your talk, but can i disable the filter on the NVs?

I mean those dots when active.

[thick pawn]

sorry, i havent got NVs yet and cant help :C

[north turret]

No problem.

[thorny hazel]

you can disable beef's nvg and some patches

[willow hawk]

Can you try it now ?

I pushed an update

I increased the damage of most shotgun ammo against pseudogiants

[thick pawn]

ok, sure thanks, i will have a look

can you please buff the toz 20 gauge?

nah im joking haha

[thorny hazel]

still about the same, 28 12ga with dushmans saiga

[thick pawn]

havent tried it yet, just updated.

[willow hawk]

Buckshots ?

[sick latch]

Is there any point in getting the OTs-04 blade or the m9 bayonet vs the spetsnaz switchblade?

[thorny hazel]

yes

[mortal pewter]

well, here I met two pseudogiants in red forest. Except both walked into carousel and were instagibbed

[willow hawk]

That's weird. It should take about 30% less buckshots

[mortal pewter]

is there a way to nerf anomaly effect on monsters? Because this was rather anticlimatic

even player can simply run out of carousel with some luck

[willow hawk]

Mutants are turned to gore

Means no parts

I don't know on pseudogiants though

[mortal pewter]

one was ragdolled and torn apart, one simply ended lying around

[north turret]

can i use item no62 before turning it in?

[copper nimbus]

is there an option to change the new emission siren sound and pulse anomaly to vanilla without turning off horror overhaul ?

[thorny hazel]

I think I found the issue, I looked at the changes in the script and I think it should be "gigant" not "giant"

I corrected it and now it takes about 6 buckshot to kill it

[north turret]

good catch, so the multiplier wasn't working at all before? can i undo the changes? just updated my game =x

[serene cedar]

what weapon's .ltx file is the Carabiner shotgun a part of?

[gusty kiln]

@willow hawk Sorry to ping, but since you're around, is Flesh Damage a general multiplier to a weapon's damage, or is it specifically only applied to mutants?

[drowsy kestrel]

for some reason I can't get checking ammo to work, any ideas where I should look? Its currently bound to the default, "f"

[brisk zinc]

Mags Redux?

[drowsy kestrel]

yup!

oh, my settings are weird, I missed that section of the mcm

[brisk zinc]

Did you disabled GAMMA unjam reload or something like that?
The correct name is next to Mags Redux

[drowsy kestrel]

I did, I just didn't see the ammo check section of the MCM till now.

[brisk zinc]

Okay, check in that section then, maybe you're missing something there

[snow talon]

Any mod in gamma that enables anomaly effects for sdalgers?

[drowsy kestrel]

figured it out, my new problem is that I don't know how to change magazines with the same ammo type

how the fuck did reload get rebinded to f10??

[meager cradle]

Went into the glowing pit anomaly in dark valley for about 1 minute to do a grab-and-run with an artefact that I needed and my SSP-99 Suit got damaged really quick. Not from any burner anomalies I hit but from the heat of the area itself. Thought that suit is one of the best when it comes to thermal protection, so why is it being damaged so fast?
The suit is not upgraded though...

[gusty kiln]

I might be wrong, but a suit's resistance to a damage type, and a suit's durability to a damage type are 2 different variables. So it can protect YOU from the heat damage, but it can suffer heavy durability loss from it

[timid jewel]

What key turns on the laser? I have a PEQ on my gun but it doesn't seem to work

[scarlet ember]

long L

[north turret]

anyone know why egg heads in Jupiter near bunker are killing loners?

[scarlet ember]

they've been mass targeted by controllers

[north turret]

they killed Petka Thief! those bastards!

[snow talon]

You sure its egg heads

Because mercs spawn in the bunker

I have to kill half a dozen of em when I visit ozersky

[mortal pewter]

how much the suit protects you and how much damage suit takes in the process are two different stats. Improve suit durability, or AFAIK artefacts and modules can reduce damage suit takes as well

[north turret]

they killed 3 monoliths and then started killing loners for some reason

[snow talon]

Idk then

[meager cradle]

I mean, I'm not complaining, I survived with zero damage to myself but I thought the suit would take less durability damage, considering it's description says it's "tailored for maximum durability in thermal, chemical and electrical fields". Would be pretty terrible if egg heads go out in the field and have to buy a new suit after visiting 1-2 anomalies of this kind.

Im speaking lore wise, might I add, maybe it is a gameplay balance thing, in that anomalies still pose a threat even if you have the best gear.

[midnight veldt]

So the junk tier artifacts (Sourpuss, etc.) will run out of efficiency while you have them in your belt slots and they'll eventually disappear if they hit zero. IS the same thing true for higher level artifacts as well, or do they stay at the efficiency you've powered them up to forever?

[north turret]

wtf now loner ran up to egg head and dumped whole clip in him

im so confused now

[snow talon]

Loner vs egghead civil war

Maybe the eggheads looted monolith armour

And loners engaged?

Idk tbf

[north turret]

now there is 3 dead monoliths 8 loners and 9 egg heads xD

How do you activate debug mode? For vanilla Anomaly I know how to do it, but not for GAMMA.

[brisk zinc]

!debug

[raw raft]

How to enable debug mode: #╭📖faq message

[north turret]

Thank you.

[glossy marlin]

this is more of a question about anomaly, but does anyone know how to turn off stalkers saying stuff like "i just heard a shotgun in the garbage" and "i just saw a loner kill a boar"?

[north turret]

does going from 50dmg to 66 dmg make big difference?

Is there a list somewhere i can check for traders buy/sell price on items? I know butcher buys meat/mutant parts for high price, what else is out there?

[warped ginkgo]

ecologist maybe?

for mutants parts

[scarlet ember]

damage doesn't really mean shit

it's all about the armor pen and flesh impact

shotgun does 189 damage or approximately that, and buckshot is worthless mostly

x39 feels stronger than slugs

[warped ginkgo]

buckshot is pretty good for mutants

[north turret]

okay thx decided my next weapon to repair

[scarlet ember]

x39 does 39 damage

[north turret]

Oh true, mutant parts is ecologist right? I've read gamma removed trading vodka for ammo in rostok? Idk what else was changed ;/ Is rostok still the way to go for 5.45 ammo?

[warped ginkgo]

yantar you mean?

i don't think there is anyone who trades ammo for vodka in rostok

there's spirit in yantar who exchanges ammo/toolkit for vodka

[north turret]

There's an npc who asks for vodka in the 100 rads bar, i thought it was him, mb, i'm kinda new to stalker, is there a specific npc i should sell weapon attachments for better $?

I'm playing on survivalist so trying to maximize my profits

[warped ginkgo]

ah, i think it's supposed to unlock better upgrades as the mechanic

but i don't remember if it even works, i think its from the older mods, i just use the toolkit to upgrade my items

[willow hawk]

General multiplier, with an extra bonus on mutants for HP ammo and buckshots ammo

[willow hawk]

It does

[scarlet ember]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[willow hawk]

It's a general indicator of how good it performs against unarmored targets

[scarlet ember]

not so much with hidden multipliers involved

[willow hawk]

Hidden multipliers are mostly to overcome penetration buffs vs mutants

[scarlet ember]

because the number varies wildly from listed

[willow hawk]

And high AP against mutants means over penetration= less damage

Hidden multipliers against mutants are just so the damage values indicated are more accurate actually

[timid jewel]

Is there a version of MP7 with an uncollapsed stock?

Each one I found doesn't seem to have a stock and it looks kinda strange

[warped ginkgo]

no

[willow hawk]

It's actually kind of a bug

[molten siren]

I am tired, my leg is shot and it just turned dark.., I’m in the Red Forest. Where can I sleep?!

Never mind, I am dead

[tidal raft]

Sleep when you're dead.

Either Army Warehouse or Jupiter. Whichever is closest when you're in that situation in RF.

[visual goblet]

Forester won't allow you to roll out your sleeping bag in his room?

[oak saffron]

Stubborn old man he is

[tidal raft]

You probably can, provided you actually bring a sleeping bag.

[north turret]

Is it normal that all campfires are automatically lit up? Shouldn't I be the one lighting up a campfire out in the middle of nowhere? It adds to the eerie atmosphere of the zone, but doesn't make much more sense beside that

[willow hawk]

Other stalkers light them up

They aren't all lit up. Necessarily

[green oyster]

Is there any known bugs or conflicts with enabling Raven tooltips on the side?

[glossy zinc]

Hey, I started playing as a Loner on easy settings [want play the game, not abuse mechanics/grinding] in Cordon Village. I am using SKS that I choosen at the start [I can buy BR3 ammo in Cordon] and I am trying to restore AK 105 Specialist however it has only BR1-BR3 ammo and only BR1 is accessible close to Cordon (Garbage).

I wonder where should I go for "endgame" content, should I change a faction and stay somewhere higher[better loot, better guns, ammo, etc]?

[willow hawk]

Get the one from moddb

#📎mods-added-for-next-build

[green oyster]

Oh you're working on adding one in, I'll just wait for that build instead. Thanks for the work you put into this pack!

[willow hawk]

[brisk zinc]

If you want endgame stuff you can start as a Merc and go north from there
Or go full crazy and be a Monolith

Or, just before north, Duty/Freedom/Military

[fluid warren]

How are you ment to exchange armour for faction variants because I've spoken to every duty NPC and none of them give me the option to exchange armour

[brisk zinc]

You need to talk with the trader and you to be a part of that faction to actually trade faction suits

[mortal pewter]

Petrenko should, if you belong to Duty yourself

[mystic oar]

might work with a disguise?

never tried

[fluid warren]

The only options he gives me is the regular trade option where the armour is not allowed to be traded, to ask him if has work or to play blackjack

[glossy zinc]

Idk, I have a bad memory of playing Anomaly as a Merc xD Killing monolith soliders that have nothing on them, big monster (cant even go to Yantar until I go around and deal with the laboratory), a lot of radiation xd

[junior parrot]

Can you change the language from rus to eng.

[brisk zinc]

It's already in english

[junior parrot]

I mean like the people talking. All items are in English but the guys talk in rus.

[brisk zinc]

Welcome to Stalker, literally based in Ukraine

What did you expect, italians?

[junior parrot]

No there is a mod that makes them talk English I thought it was in gamma

[brisk zinc]

Mercenaries, yes

They talk in english

The rest of the Zone is russian/ukrainian, that's obvious

[glossy zinc]

are you that type of guy who watches dubbed anime clips on youtube> XD i hate dubbed anime

[warped ginkgo]

Dx8?

[junior parrot]

I dont watch anime

[north turret]

DX8

[brisk zinc]

!dx8

If you're playing (or if you want to play) with DX8, you'll need to do something first: #╭📖faq message

[foggy trout]

When I bring up my PDA it plays the nightvision sound

And when I put it back it plays the sound of nvgs whirring down

Bug or feature?

[brisk zinc]

Did you change some keybinds?

[foggy trout]

Yeah but night vision is bound to N and my PDA map is bound to M

[brisk zinc]

#│💻keybinds-in-gamma

M is for NVG scopes

N is for NVG, yes

[mystic oar]

no way to rebind the nvg scope key either

[foggy trout]

Oh damn

Is there any way for me to restore the keybinds that came with the modpack?

[mystic oar]

replace the user.ltx in your anomaly/appdata folder with the user.ltx in the gamma rc3 folder

this will reset graphics changes you've made though

[foggy trout]

yeah that's fine

thank you

[mystic oar]

as for the mcm keybinds, those can be reset upon updating the modpack via the installer (this also resets the user.ltx)

[foggy trout]

mcm?

[mystic oar]

mod configuration menu

has a menu where you can change all mod-specific keybinds

[foggy trout]

Oh ok

But not NVG scopes?

[mystic oar]

nope

[glossy zinc]

Hey, I am currently stationing mostly around Garbage, Great Swamps and Cordon. What is the most optimal way to get the advanced tools? should I move north for them[I have Basic Ones to the Cordon technician]

[foggy trout]

I think purple stashes can spawn tools

Not sure about the quality

You'll get them as rewards for missions/looting dead bodies

[tidal raft]

There are no purple stashes until you've explored all the areas in the zone, which gives you three purple 'special' stashes.
There are only white or green stashes. 'Brick red' stashes are specific for the ISG-faction.

Green stashes are guaranteed to have at least one of the five toolkits available.

[stable stag]

Search stashes in Agroprom, Truck Cemetary, Yantar, Army warehouse for advanced tools. Doing tasks around Garbage, Cordon and Great swamps will still uncover stashes in aforementioned places

[foggy trout]

^^^^ ignore what I said

[glossy zinc]

thx

[foggy trout]

On the theme of me knowing nothing, I am unable to reload my 1911 despite having adequate ammo in my inventory

There aren't magazine mechanics in this right?

[gusty kiln]

Not by default, no

[foggy trout]

Then I'm stumped

The slide is locked back and R doesn't reload the gun

The correct ammunition is selected

The gun is in near perfect condition

[tidal raft]

Save and load.

[foggy trout]

That didn't work

[tidal raft]

Press Z.

[foggy trout]

What

Why

That worked

[tidal raft]

Weapon jammed.

[foggy trout]

What kind of extraterrestrial reloads with z

R's not even being used for anything else

Or is it bound for a mod?

[tidal raft]

You can rebind in MCM and in Settings.

[foggy trout]

And it shouldn't conflict with anything else?

[tidal raft]

Only if you pick a key which is already taken.

[foggy trout]

How do I open MCM

[tidal raft]

Escape.

[foggy trout]

oh...

Sorry for the stupid questions

I've just had a lot of stupid questions

Thank you

[warped ginkgo]

hey aldo, quick question you are in a long playthrough now?

if yes, do you have a highly populated base, for example the rookie village in cordon, stuck with a lot of npcs?

cuz in my playthrough im beginning to have highly populated areas like yantar bunker or rookie village with a lot of npcs like guarding it

it's no problem, i drop heavy fps but still playable, the problem begins when a enemy spawns, obviously all of the npcs go hostile and pc is literally dying due to everyone shooting and jsrs killing my pc due to the layers i guess

[gusty kiln]

Describe "long playthrough". In my playthrough, Yantar always has a lot of people defending it, about 8 or so, not counting the others moving about

[warped ginkgo]

9 days in game

[gusty kiln]

Oh yeah, mine is past 20 I think

[warped ginkgo]

37 hours if this addon doesn't lie

[tidal raft]

I haven't played since the end of May. I usually stop playing a file after I'm done with Living Legend + MOTZ.

[gusty kiln]

I can check some places for you

[warped ginkgo]

anyway, i think it's due to xcvb guard spawner

[tidal raft]

Definitely that. IIRC Grok made it optional because it was dodgy.

[warped ginkgo]

is it optional? shet i had it enabled

thanks aldo

[tidal raft]

Maybe, double-check your modlist.

[empty epoch]

I updated the game and the minimap just dissapeared, anyone knows how to activate it?

[north turret]

go in mcm theres a tab called minimap toggle find what key its binded to and press the button

[empty epoch]

thank you !!

[north turret]

Why does the wastlelander stalker suit have 1% ext radiation protection? Is that just in gamma?

even the one you cna spawn does, that cant be right

[tidal raft]

Because masks are the focus for radiation protection.

[north turret]

huh

so are all armors extcrad. nerfed?

[tidal raft]

More or less. The SSP outfits have around 10% iirc.

Instead masks offer superb protection.

[north turret]

I actually like that

[tidal raft]

It lets players focus on other upgrades for an outfit than rad. protection.

[north turret]

nomad has 20%

so wastelander got hit hard, I'm guessing since it has better ballistic prot

[tidal raft]

Yep, it's the pay-off.

Nomad has great carry capacity and surprisingly good resistance against radiation. It's not a battle suit though.

[wild thorn]

If I understand correctly, repairing a weapon through a tech only increases the actual weapon %, not individual parts?

[tidal raft]

Yes.

[median wharf]

Hey died someone know how I can rebind the zoomed view keybind? I don't have a mouse that has the extra buttons on the side. Is the open inside the mod configuration tab ingame?

[tidal raft]

Change the bind in MCM.

Free zoom keybind?

[tidal raft]

Yes.

[median wharf]

Alright thank you

Anyone got any screenshots of what the "Optional Modern UI font" mod looks like?

Nevermind, it's VERY noticeable

[foggy trout]

Can I re-injure limbs by running while they heal?

[red silo]

I know Grok posted it somewhere but i cant find it. How do we exchange armor? I have it in my inventory and click the option and then the dialog appears but no new armor. What am i missing?

[brisk zinc]

When they're yellow you mean? Yes

You can re-injure them again because you're in a "healing" process

[brisk zinc]

Be a Loner (example)
Grab an enemy faction suit
Go to Sid
If, in the game, there is the exact same thing for Loner, you'll get that armor for your faction

For example, Exosuit

Loner have an Exosuit for their faction

[foggy trout]

Do I just sit around and wait for it?

I can't sleep

nvm im dumb af. Im trying to echange loner for loner. smh

I get the confusion

I thought the exact same thing myself

I bring the starter shit and I get good shit

its says "other faction tho" so thats legit my bad

It doesn't work like that

[brisk zinc]

Yes, exactly

It's literally

Just a thing

[gusty kiln]

How do I remove the psychic torture from Jupiter? Do I need to venture into the undergrounds, or go slap that brainscorcher?

[brisk zinc]

Before you go North you need the psy helmet

And you surely need to disable one thing, maybe both

[gusty kiln]

I have it on me, it's just the constant whispering that's driving me mad

I'll raid the brain scorcher with 2 shotguns, 1 .45 hydroshock pistol and drugged up to my eyeballs. Good lord does it drive me MAD

I disabled the Miracle Machine in Yantar already

[soft leaf]

i just reinstalled anomaly because i ran into the same issue i had a while ago where the game became unplayable, like locked at 10fps

it worked last time

however now i'm getting that i'm missing the k98k

which is weird since i do have bas

i just replaced my base anomaly folder

am i just fucked and need to reinstall gamma or is there any other fix?

[brisk zinc]

In case you need to delete everything

!delete

[raw raft]

If you really need to delete everything because you're having problems: #╭📖faq message

[brisk zinc]

I still suggest to do this first

!missingmods

[raw raft]

Follow this guide if you're missing one or more mods: #╭📖faq message

[brisk zinc]

Since you know BaS is the problem

[soft leaf]

yeah i searched to see if anyone had the same issue

but i still have the full gamma installation

[brisk zinc]

The fix most used for that problem is to just download BaS again

Put the zip inside that "downloads" folder that is inside your GAMMA folder, deleting the old one first

And run the installer again

[soft leaf]

figured i'd just reinstall, i haven't updated since a while now too

[brisk zinc]

Then I suggest to do that

! installer

[raw raft]

Have you updated your installer yet? The latest version is 3.6. You can grab it here: #📢announcements message
You'll just need to replace the old one you can find in GAMMA RC3\.Grok's Modpack Installer.

[soft leaf]

i do have the latest installer, yes

[brisk zinc]

You can try without downloading BaS or you can be sure about it and downloading it beforehand

[nova kraken]

is it possible to increase spawn time of the enemy?

like, when I clear the Monolith base in Radar

[soft leaf]

zcp

it's in the main screen of zcp

[nova kraken]

I gather loot, then fast travel back to base, then fast travel back

and they just keep spawning

[soft leaf]

fast travel works like that even since vanilla anomaly

your best bet is to set up stashes at safe locations

that's what i always do

[nova kraken]

ok, I think I know what I should do

thanks

[silver jasper]

If I make a new save and use mags redux but I then disable it to play an older save that never used it. Will my older save be alright?

Anyone can explain me, why screenshots are not saving?

[bronze herald]

How do i fix shiny/ wet textures for the ground and npc models everything looks like its under a pound of lube

[bronze herald]

press home on reshader go down to screenshots and set a custom path like to ur pics they dont have a default folder so they dont save till u make a path for them to save 2

TO legit any fucking person on this discord npc look like they got lube n butter on them and so does the ground how do i fix shiny/wet textures for npcs and enviroment and no i do not have wet surfaces on so im confused why its happening

[atomic fern]

I keep seeing weird tv snow in the sky, how does one fix it?

[willow hawk]

Get out of radiation spots @atomic fern

[atomic fern]

Man I'm a little

To be fair I could barely hear the radiation fx over the rain and I haven't tuned the brightness yet so it was only visible in the sky

[oak saffron]

its a visual cue of sorts to point out its a radiation pocket

[willow hawk]

Yep

I feel like I should rework the effect though. Not a big fan

It's a 4 texture thing

Basically it goes texture 1 > texture 2 > texture 3 > Texture 4 and loops over

And the texture are just tv static basically

Hey so what's the difference between post heal and first aid? I can see that first aid gives my limb bars a yellow portion but post heal doesn't seem to do anything. And even that yellow bar seems to vanish. Is that suppose to be temporary health?

[zenith dragon]

sleeping, doctor or using other meds

[oak saffron]

Its weird at first but you get used to it

[median wharf]

Yea it's really weird lol. Those white meds heal your limbs really slowly haha

[zenith dragon]

with bandages used before white meds its instant mate

you should really check out this

will help you a lot

#╭📖faq message

[willow hawk]

Bandage / Medkits > painkiller / antibiotics

Makes sense to me in terms of logic compared to IRL

[wild thorn]

Honestly it seems backwards to me. Painkillers are a temporary thing to numb the part, then you'd apply a more stable fix like a bandage or medkit. Hell, splints could be added to fix legs.

[willow hawk]

Splints are for fractures

If you get your legs eaten by dogs you want antibiotics

Bandages etc are first aid > fast action. Post heal medications take time to have an effect, that's the whole point of the system

[atomic fern]

Just like one of the guys above I have these lubed up characters whenever I come near them, when I enter the gloss factor command over at #│🔧troubleshooting into the console nothing changes...
Am I being a monkey again? I feel like I am doing something wrong

[willow hawk]

Change the value a little bit

Increase it a little bit

By like 0.001

0.005 > 0.006

This should fix your issue

[atomic fern]

Still very watery

no change really

Fuck it ain't that bad, with how dangerous the zone is everybody is constantly sweating.

[willow hawk]

Close the game and delete anomaly/appdata/shader_cache folder

[graceful dust]

I'm having some SEVERE issues with enemies spotting me from miles away and managing to gun me down long before I can even figuring out who's shooting at me, much less try and close the distance to the effective range of my weapon (especially with how open the maps are). It's honestly sapping my will to continue because there's just plain nothing I can do, I can't even successfully assault the east village in the great swamps for Clear Sky's quest because I can't get anywhere near them and can't hit them with my starting weapon, whereas they seem to be able to bullseye me effortlessly even with weapons worse than what I have.

Does anyone have any advice on tweaks I could make in order to even the odds and let me get a bit closer before the enemy slaughters me? Or even some basic tips to help deal with the issue?

[tidal raft]

That task is difficult to start off with.

It is better to not take that task until later, preferrably when you have a functional rifle.

[willow hawk]

Tick "Ennemies can't see though bushes" in MO2.

You can also tick in the MCM menu SWM visible body : delete visible body

This should make you much more stealthy

[graceful dust]

Oooh, I'll try those, thank you so much! I was definitely subconsciously acting like they wouldn't be able to see me through bushes already, haha

Thank you! I'm loving the pack, it's a really unique experience!

[graceful dust]

Yeah, I was considering that might be the case, but I'm trying to do a playthrough of the new Clear Sky storyline so I assumed it must be doable since it comes up so early. I'll try and avoid it for now, then, thanks!

[snow talon]

i would also recommend crouchwalking

jogging everywhere isnt good for your health

[tidal raft]

I sprint nearly all the time.

[gusty kiln]

Sprinting is surprisingly quiet. No real need to walk/sneak until you're considerably close to your target

Just stay out of view

[brisk zinc]

You can always activate the "companion teleporter" mod

[dusky ridge]

Oh thanks, that's good to know for future should it happen again

Compared to their leader waving a gun in their face it's probably better for morale aswell

does anyone know the controls for laser pointers and flashlight for bas weapons

[stable stag]

Press and hold torch button for laser on weapons

[stable stag]

Depends if you have access to advanced weapon repair kit or not. Howa and ar-15 Hera if you do. If not something like Ak5c, L85 a2 tact or aug commando

[dusky ridge]

Okay i'm having a brainfart, I can't put artifacts in lead lined containers...

[tidal raft]

Because they are perk artefacts—not radioactive.

Thank you, i'm just dumb, at the same time I picked up some anomalous bread, thought it was the artifacts giving me radiation...

Can I "level up" Barkeep?

[wanton spoke]

Is there a way to "fix" truck cemetery, guessing theres a real horde of mutants located somewhere that is causing my FPS to absolutely tank

[thick pawn]

does anyone else eradicate the agroprom spetsnaz base as a loner?

or is there a reason to not wipe them out?

or good reasons to do so?

[graceful iron]

food traders dont have supply levels

[graceful iron]

no reason to and no reason not to

[thick pawn]

benefits either way

i guess u could talk to sid and ask military to leave u alone

then u can do quests for them and build rep

but then they wont be enemy

[graceful iron]

if you pay for a cease fire you cant get close to the faction

[thick pawn]

maybe in another playthrough. i decided this time to smoke them all with the mosin nagant

[graceful iron]

you need a disguise to get close to them

[thick pawn]

oh

so you cant just pay sid

then build rep?

but u can do it if u disguise?

[graceful iron]

paying for a cease fire just makes them not shoot you on sight

[thick pawn]

right, but if u get close to them they shot

[graceful iron]

yes

[thick pawn]

ah ok, ive never tried it so yeah

ah well, maybe in anothjer playthrough as duty or military or smth

its certainly a fun and intense time smoking them all

its quite a fight, theres soo many of them

some loot, and a free workbench and bed

[graceful iron]

i wouldnt use the bed..

[hollow sinew]

yeah... dont use the bed

😂

[thick pawn]

haha, ok.

what if i was loner

and wanted to build rep with military

use disguise?

[graceful iron]

yes

dont make fun of him cause hes different

[north turret]

some of the other kids call him a retardant although that dosent make much sense since one of the kids decided to get a lighter and a can of spray and he was on fire for a good 5 minutes

[north turret]

is svarog detector and plates or modules worth using?

like body cooler camel back

[stable stag]

Plates are worth stacking as much as you can. Not as easy now though as upgrading them requires a shit ton of materials.
I only really use those devices if I have nothing else to put in a belt slot

Camel back for example is p useless cause cocaine gives you unlimited stamina anyway

[glossy zinc]

What armors are the best rn?[and where to get them, who wears them and where]?

[mortal pewter]

define "best"

you want carry weight, anomaly protection, bullet protection, mutant protection, and artefact amount in what proportions exactly? 🙃

[glossy zinc]

idk, I play on easy, and I focus on shooting [not interested in math based grinding, I play games for gameplay and read math books to solve task]

[mortal pewter]

Ace suit is pretty good. You can get it from mercs in north of army warehouses pretty easy

[glossy zinc]

ok ty

[mortal pewter]

heavy armor though, but at least you can craft heavy armor repair kit without calibration tools

I wonder what helmet is better though, spartan or final day one

[languid furnace]

Spartan is slightly better in combat and radiation aspects I think, I’d have to check again

[mortal pewter]

also final day is heavy as heck. Would you be able to live in 7kg helmet for long enough irl?

[languid furnace]

Well, I’m pretty sure at that point you’d end up having a giant backpack to compensate as well

Ah

[stable stag]

Final day helmet is really lacking in rad resistance

[languid furnace]

Well, to answer that question, for the irl equivalent, which was the Altyn, Russian soldiers needed special training to be able to wear the helmet for long periods of time

[mortal pewter]

the only two that matter 🙃

[stable stag]

I'm p sure even screen helm has it beat in rad resistance

[mortal pewter]

it's better to tank anomalies with artefacts, to avoid having to pour the remnants of your suit into tiny can and taking it to technician

[languid furnace]

To be fair, it’s practically a giant metal brick on your head, it wasn’t meant for dealing with rads

[stable stag]

[mortal pewter]

and getting half a bar of radiation randomly while walking around is pretty annoying

[languid furnace]

That’s why I carry two helmets, the CRBN Gas Mask, and a generic military helmet I upgraded to be stronger

One for rads, one for getting shot

[mortal pewter]

might be annoying to have to tank both at a time... Some places are hot in more means than one

[languid furnace]

Not very, that’s more of a case of I learned to optimize exactly what I carry so I don’t overweigh myself

[mortal pewter]

meds can help with that, there are some cheap pills which will protect from radiation and can heal limbs in a pinch

their rad and chem resistance is listed as something like 1%, but they actually tank well

also I'm not sure where to get spartan helmet, probably mercs? Got final day ones like three times from Garbage of all the places, no spartans at all

[languid furnace]

Based on the description, I’m not sure, it says the Spartan was a better helmet inspired by the Final day helm, if that helps

[mortal pewter]

I guess. It is definitely a reference to Metro series though

[languid furnace]

There’s multiple metro references, that’s just the main one off the top of my head

I’ll check in the debug menu once I finish loading in

[gusty kiln]

Apocalypse Helm has excellent ballistic protection, but worse environmental protection than Exohelm and Spartan Helm

Spartan Helm is the best helmet you can get

[uneven moat]

What is probably the best medium armor?

[gusty kiln]

Depends, I used a variant of the Berill

Had decent protections, but only 1 belt slot

Also, does increasing a weapon's flatness actually increase recoil, or is it just flavor text?

[languid furnace]

Pretty sure that’s flavor text, I’ve never noticed an increase in recoil

[uneven moat]

Is there a difference between having silencer on or off? (except for the obvious difference)

[gusty kiln]

If I do the Duty/Freedom missions to eliminate them at certain areas of the Army Warehouses, does it affect their spawns in the area, or is it just another flavor of "Kill the squad that randomly spawned there" ?

[north turret]

flatness is bullet drop so only useful for very long range

[mortal pewter]

it will not, though killing Freedom too close to their base may make all of it, including important NPCs, hostile. AFAIK you can't make them friendly again

[gusty kiln]

Gotcha, thanks. I'd be using a disguise, since they're neutral to me as Loner

[mortal pewter]

or for long range on VSS/VSSK. They use slower than sound ammo, and IIRC they are gimmicky to use in Stalker series. Could be wrong for GAMMA though, never used those guns in it

[north turret]

is it possible to lower the spawn rates of specific monsters but not all of them? each map getting bum-rushed by boars, dogs, and cats gets old

[willow hawk]

Bit more damage but degrades weapon faster

[willow hawk]

Flatness is only good for SMGs, 9x39 and 12.7x55

[north turret]

First game I feel like I've played that didnt do"her der silencer lowers damage cus reasons"

[willow hawk]

After 20 days you'll have harder mutants

[north turret]

oh nice

[willow hawk]

It increases pressure inside the barrel

Hence a bit more damage

+15% iirc

Might be only applied to mutants though because I overwrite damages for stalkers completely

But there's no damage reduction for sure

I should add the damage bonus when using silencers

[marsh folio]

I've been detaching my silencer after getting spotted cuz all other fps games brainwashed me with lower silencer damage

[surreal yarrow]

Idk if there is another channel or if im right here for it... but can I install mods onto Gamma? (tbh im asking for provaks weapons pack bc I dont think its included bc provak doesnt want anyone to use his modpack) So im just gonna ask here I guess... Like is it included and if no, could you install/play it with gama somehow?

[graceful dust]

In the settings for the Stealth mod, do higher numbers make it easier for enemies to detect you or harder? I've been experimenting with the settings trying to make it easier to get closer to enemies before they notice me from miles away, but I can't quite tell what's working and what isn't... (Anyone have any recommendations regarding good settings for this mod?)

[willow hawk]

Full auto with silencer is a bit hard for the gun if you don't have reliability increases

Reliability is usually the best thing you can get

Recoil for guns with huge recoil

Handling for guns where you full auto with laser when hip firing

[marsh folio]

Been tap firing mostly cuz i found a scar-h, too costly to go full auto

[willow hawk]

Ah yes 7.62x51 isn't meant to be full auto

You can burst fire with the best rifles of that caliber like SR25

[north turret]

I only use auto for ccb for any gun

[marsh folio]

Full auto is my panic mode

[north turret]

in military we only did full auto on range to test our stance

[willow hawk]

But usually big guns with big caliber and tapping headshots = you don't need increased damages

But the increased damages of silencers would profit SMGs

And shotguns with pellets against mutants

[marsh folio]

I've noticed the ballpoint reliably 1 taps the higher tier helmets

P90 suppressed might fun to play now i know the +15% damage increase

[serene cedar]

Isn't reliability that the gun degrades at a slower pace?

[north turret]

im looking for anonymus package in eastern darkscape anyone know more specific part?

[tidal raft]

It's always a random spot—out of several prefixed locations.

[north turret]

so witch part of darkscape is eastern?

[mortal pewter]

the one to the right on map 🙃

[north turret]

thx ill try there

[mortal pewter]

seriously, what else there can be said? Use RF receiver on proper frequency and see if you pick up the signal

fortunately these stashes have better system than radiosilence quests

[paper whale]

How does the teleport companions button j work. When I press it, companions aren't teleporting

[stable stag]

It's an optional mod you have to activate

I have a problem with the radiation poisoning - there was an emission (or psy storm) and since I left my shelter I have that radiation on me. On the main screen (of the game) it shows level 0 of radiation however on inventory screen there are 3 bars, tried taking medicine but these 3 bars wont go away.

[stable stag]

The bar in the inventory screen is resistance

Not how much radiation you've accumulated

[orchid tartan]

Sorry for my question, what would be the reason that this mod doesnt have expedition or hd models addon? Maybe im wrong and its a stupid question hehe

[stable stag]

I mean, expedition is a mod pack, right? Not just a singular mod

& gamma has Dux's innumerable character kit instead of hd models

Check additional addons if you want hd models

[glossy zinc]

true, then Idk why I am dying xD is there any post emission effect that should be killing me or sth like that

[gentle mountain]

hey everyone, just a quick question--when is it generally advised to do a complete vs a quick update? and to ensure that my MCM settings and keybinds and all that are saved, i just clone the profile on MO2 and backup my user.ltx right?

[stable stag]

Should be a task telling you "sheltering complete"(?) or something similar when it's safe to leave shelter
Ehh, is your torso, head health reaching zero? That's the only other thing I could think that's killing you

[stable stag]

Grok will say in announcements when you're required to do a complete update to receive all new features. Otherwise just quick

[gentle mountain]

perfect, thanks buddy

[raw raft]

To update your G.A.M.M.A. installation, you don't need to delete ANYTHING, please AVOID deleting something without a GOOD reason or at least ASK FIRST.

1. Open the installer with admin rights and make sure you have the newest version, which is 3.6
2. Click Update G.A.M.M.A. data, wait for it to say 'done'
3. Choose between "Complete G.A.M.M.A. installation" or "Only install G.A.M.M.A. Addons" (if you don't know the difference: #╭📖faq message)

Most of the time, "Only install G.A.M.M.A. Addons" is what you need to do. You can click on "Complete G.A.M.M.A. installation" if you haven't updated for a long time.

Keep in mind that Grok will always announce in #📢announcements if you need to do a "Complete G.A.M.M.A. installation", because you don't need to do it every day.

"Why does every update completely reset my keybinds/my settings/my mods/my stuff in general?"
G.A.M.M.A. has a default mod list to make sure everyone has the same things, everything goes back to default when you update or you do a complete installation, it's normal.
You can backup your keybinds and mod settings following this guide: #╭📖faq message

[gentle mountain]

i got it, thanks @brisk zinc

[quiet rock]

Falco or any mods around, did you read of people having performance issues after the last update? because i've noticed a drop in fps, at Cordon atm which usually didn't have any issues

and i've been reducing the draw distances, texture quality and light and still have perfo issues

didn't have much issues before

average 15fps before the transition from Cordon to Garbage

[scarlet ember]

did you disable all SSAO?

[quiet rock]

should i? didn't check those i think

[scarlet ember]

SSAO is what's killing you

[quiet rock]

ok, will try and report

i'm also using Fraps to check fps

is that program allright?

[north turret]

the reshade has an fps button

to show fps

home key > settings > show fps

[quiet rock]

ah

[scarlet ember]

I haven't heard fraps in almost a decade

[north turret]

when i deactivate gboobs ballistic overhaul and make a headshot my game crashes, is there a way to fix this?

[quiet rock]

now around 20fps maybe my GPU is dying

thing is i didn't have this low framerate before

it all started at the Red Forest

[scarlet ember]

radiation damage

sorry rhogar

no clues

[quiet rock]

what about SMAA and AA?

[scarlet ember]

oh yeah turn that shit off

that's what I meant not ssao

lmao

[quiet rock]

thanks for the help either way ❤️

maybe i could disable one of the reshades? or shaders? don't know which one could be redundant

[mystic oar]

if your computer can't handle dx11, try a lower dx version

#old-framerate-optimisation could help as well

[quiet rock]

thanks

[little kiln]

Hello there, if i can ask . I have some problem to go in Meadows. Game always crash.

[tidal raft]

!crash

[raw raft]

Send your crash log here, it's inside: Anomaly/appdata/logs, send the file called xray_yournamehere.txt
Make sure you're not using any extra mods.

Post in #old-bugs

[gusty glen]

why this is disabled by default ?

[agile pivot]

Ok so this is a weird one, but how do i disable map transitions? as in i want to go beyond the point in which the game usually transports me to the next map.
Had some merc ambush me right after loading into AW, but i killed them beyond the map transition into dead city, so i can't lot them normally

tried no clipping but got teleported anyway after spawning in to loot

[tidal raft]

The final stages of the storyline is horribly buggy.

[tidal raft]

You can't.

[agile pivot]

damn go figure.
maybe a way to move the corpses to me?

[tidal raft]

Nope.

[agile pivot]

too bad thx anyways

[quiet rock]

dissabling all shaders made the game go to between 50 and 70 fps

thanks

[mystic oar]

[tired violet]

This happened in Vanilla Anomaly too, even without the smooth transitions they will walk past the point where the game asks you to transition, and if you say no, it teleports you back like 5m - in other words disabling the mod wouldn't have helped you loot the corpses. Has happened to me in a few places in regular Anomaly, especially with guys like base technicians in places I am clearing trying to flee from the battle.

[agile pivot]

nono im aware that it wasn't a problem with the mod, i asked in general if you can disable map transitions

[molten siren]

Hello there, is there a way to keep the bulletholes on corpses from fading away? They disappear after 20 seconds or so,

Thank you

[empty epoch]

I disabled the "limit fast travel" mod and im getting crashes, ¿it is important to stay activated or what? because i´ve never had crashes

Yea just started having that problem semi randomly. I am doing a full update to see if that solves my issue then will follow your recommendation. Thank you.

Fully updating appears to have solved my issue 🙂

[quaint quarry]

If I just nuke my MCM values thing can I reset them all the GAMMA defualt by updating addons in the installer?

[mystic oar]

yes

mcm values get reset after complete installs i believe

they might reset doing just a gamma addons update

[graceful iron]

updating will rest them as well

[valid spire]

so how does the artifact melter work?

[quaint quarry]

Might just be an issue with the mod, but trying to change or delete the bolt fov in "98- Better Bolt Animations - TheShinyHaxorus" doesn't do anything sadly.

[tired violet]

Ah, apologies. Misread.

[tardy yoke]

TLDR:

1. Melt basic "Junk" artifacts to increase charges.
2. Use charges to merge the same artifacts together to make them stronger.

3. Use crafting to convert artifacts into other more powerful artifacts.

[valid spire]

wait so you melt the junks into a repair kit basically for higher tier ones

you dont have to use the exact same artifacts to refuel other high tier ones

wait nvm

I see

[tardy yoke]

Na, you can recharge the melter from lower tier items, use multiples of the same item to merge them into more powerful ones.

It has a safety built in to prevent you from using the last charge which would destroy the melter.

[valid spire]

I see

[empty coral]

what difficulty are you guys playing on?

[north turret]

medium tourist

[graceful iron]

if you are new to gamma or anomaly you should go with medium scavenger but hard survivalist works the best for gamma once you got to know the new mechanics and features

[empty coral]

I've done an Anomaly run on med-scav Loner and figured maybe I should went hard survivalist Merc for Gamma

It's definitely not easy and I'm progressing at a snail's pace so I don't know if I should switch or not or it's just early game's difficulty bump

[graceful iron]

early game is going to be hard and slow in gamma, thats why its recommended to start with lower difficulties

[potent summit]

Should I gave the basic toolkit i got from Hip to Xenotech?

[warped ginkgo]

don't lister to okay cat

if it's your first toolkit just stick with it

[graceful iron]

you should keep a full set of toolkits, then give the extras to technicians

[warped ginkgo]

i made my base in yantar bunker and i only gave one to the mechanic when i already had collected like 8 basic toolkit

[graceful iron]

you can craft 1 advanced toolkit from 5 basic kits

[warped ginkgo]

not worth it imo

you get like 5-10k for the toolkit task

[potent summit]

So you only need 1 type of toolkit in inventory?

[graceful iron]

you need one of each

you can keep them at a stash when not using them, but when you want to craft you will need all types

[potent summit]

Shit

Thanks for the help

[gilded seal]

going to sleep all my limbs heal except my legs, don't see any kind of indicator that there's a problem, what am I missing

[warped ginkgo]

legs

[graceful iron]

1 hour of sleep heals 1 point for 1 limb, arms and legs have 4 while head and torso have 10-12

[gilded seal]

so sleep should be healing my legs then?

[graceful iron]

yes

[gilded seal]

so bug maybe?

[graceful iron]

did you sleep enough ?

[gilded seal]

8 hours yeah

[graceful iron]

depends on how hurt were your limbs

did you try sleeping more ?

[gilded seal]

I just slept for more and I'm good now, thanks!

[tardy yoke]

For the tactical variants that have lasers, some appear to have an IR flashlight as well. Is this cosmetic or something that is functional?

[waxen sable]

How do you know when a broken piece of armor/helmet would be an upgrade? I've been stuck with the clear sky armor for like 20 hours and nothing that drops is any better.

[tardy yoke]

Hold CTRL over an item and it will show you the full repair stats

[waxen sable]

Ooh I didn't know about that, thank you.

[tardy yoke]

No problem. I didnt either until I seen it in a loading screen tool tip

What faction are you playing?

[waxen sable]

Freedom

[tardy yoke]

Ahh. I am playing a loaner that just recently moved over to ecologist. Working on getting gear together to shut down the brain scorcher soon

[waxen sable]

I managed to shut the miracle machine down with just a knife and pistil because I can't find ammo for the guns I've repaired haha. Good luck with the scorcher.

[graceful iron]

its just a part of the model

[tardy yoke]

Kk I kinda figured

thanks

[tardy yoke]

[willow hawk]

Yantar drunk hard trade 5.45 for vodka

[vapid peak]

@willow hawk Is Mag redux up to date?

[willow hawk]

It uses the moddb version

You can try the GitHub one

[vapid peak]

I don't know which one to use without fucking up my files. I'm getting so many hits

[tardy yoke]

Take a backup and go for it~

[waxen sable]

Thanks I'll try that! Also, is there any repair kit for armor below 25 or should I just disassemble?

[vapid peak]

Would I need to start a fresh save updating to the new redux?

[tardy yoke]

I didnt need to

What version are you moving from?

[vapid peak]

The one from a 7/7

I'm using the one that was in Grok's pack

[vapid peak]

Not sure which date is on the one that's defaulted in gamma

April maybe

[tardy yoke]

Ahh im sorry I misunderstood your question

This is what I get for hunting artifacts and sitting in discord at the same time lol

[vapid peak]

So do I just drag and drop the files into the mod folder and then into modpack_addons?

[vapid peak]

@tardy yoke

[tardy yoke]

As far as I know, you need to add the file into the directory and then use mod organizer to adjust it in your load order

[vapid peak]

Well I was just going to replace the files that are in the mag redux addon folders already

Since they're already labeled 207

[tardy yoke]

Yea... im really not sure, sorry

its 1am here so I am getting offline, best of luck to you

[gusty glen]

can i disable this ? it just gives different visual effect on anomalies

[burnt axle]

Are poltergeists meant to spawn endlessly in x-18? I killed like 15-20 of them and they still coming.

[tidal raft]

If there is a Mephistofeles anomaly there (black cloud), then yes.

[oak saffron]

oh shi

[burnt axle]

There is dark cloud, but it is called Darkness.

[tidal raft]

Ah yes, that's the name.

[gusty kiln]

Has a chance to spawn poltergeists? Now that's a lie. It ALWAYS spawns 3 poltergeists for me

[glossy zinc]

Where do I find a stash inside Dead City Merc Base?

[tidal raft]

By searching.

[north turret]

who sells military batteries cheapest?

[tidal raft]

I think everyone sells them at the same price.

[north turret]

its quite expensive to run exo then

[shrewd quartz]

Exos use caviar as coolant

[earnest oriole]

I just found a random tracking device at wild territory

is that supposed to happen

[north turret]

I've found random tracking devices, pretty sure I did in vanilla anamolly. It's annoying because you can't get it out of your inventory

I don't think it's "supposed to happen" though

[rose kindle]

are these guns supposed to drop? I've never seen them on regular stalkers, they dropped during the Sin questline by main characters

[north turret]

I've got some strange message. #11145 and then some numbers written One. Seven. And more.

Why's that?

should i sell old docs i found or they have some use?

I'm in Wild territory, have set the RF receiver at 30 GHz and can hear the fast beeps but I dont find any stash or package. I even equipped the Lamp artifact and saw two glowing stashes but there was no loot inside them, am I doing something wrong?

[brisk zinc]

From what I know, these messages are for flavour

[north turret]

I think it's just flavor text someone said no package

[brisk zinc]

It would be interesting to see if they are actually something that happen

[north turret]

Hmm, was wondering that, but im hearing very fast beeps close to the tower

When I go further the beeping stops

[brisk zinc]

I guess the flavour is actually something then, that's cool

How do i modify sleep stat in gamma to increase tiredness?

[glossy marlin]

Thank you aldourien i found it

[leaden steeple]

was that meant for me?

[tidal raft]

Yes.

[leaden steeple]

I already read the part about how damage works now, the thing is that i cannot disable the mod without the game crashing the moment i shoot someone

Sorry if I was not clear about the problem

[tidal raft]

The entire modpack is built on GBOOBS as a foundation, both in scripts and balancing.
You're better off trying to create your own modpack if you're hellbent on being able to one-shot Exoskeletons with a PM.

[ashen wadi]

What is gboobs?

[tidal raft]

Claiming that enemies are 'bullet sponges' implies you don't understand the ballistics system.
You'll come to liking it once you do.

[leaden steeple]

Thank you for the answer. I was just curious because it says - safe to remove - on the modpage.
And I‘m not trying to one shot anything, but for me the balancing feels a bit off.

[tidal raft]

Safe to remove when it is installed by itself.

[leaden steeple]

Ah okay I understand.

[north turret]

if you select the correct ammo you will never encounter a bullet sponge

[leaden steeple]

Yeah I realised that already. For me personally it feels like FMJs are not a viable option. HPs are really nice against most mutants and APs are great against stalkers (and yes I think it‘s almost all stalkers because they all wear armor)
In the early game it took me nearly 3 1911 .45 FMJ mags to kill a trainee bandit.
And thats what is odd I think. But maybe it‘s just me
