.45 has some of the worst penetration stats and is best used against mutants.

[north turret]

Hi! I find the game a bit dark. I would like to be a little brighter, especially the ground. It is like the light from the sky and the sun does not reach the soil. I liked the way the lightning was in vanilla Anomaly. What can i do?

[tidal raft]

#│🔧troubleshooting

[north turret]

ecologists sell for base price

[viral vector]

In general, you want to shoot heads. It makes a huge difference because head armor is either non existant on early enemies or much weaker than the body armor on later enemies. The early FMJ rounds do okay vs early enemies and the larger caliber FMJs will all kill almost anything with one headshot. The .45 is a tricky thing. If you give it AP abilities it will outclass every other ammo in its class and iirc .45 was invented to drop unarmored people in real life when they noticed 9mm does not always cut it, so that kinda fits its stats in the game.

[thick pawn]

7.62x39 FMJ needs a damage buff to flesh or for mutants, or introduce a HP option i reckon

[tidal raft]

There would be no reason to carry a sidearm if it did.

[quiet rock]

i was using the sig sauer wrong all allong half magazines FMJ and half AP for mutants

i should go all mags AP then

[tidal raft]

What? Sig Sauer is a .45

.45 doesn't have AP.

[viral vector]

the 226R is 9mm i think

[tidal raft]

That is a variant. Rhogar only mentioned Sig Sauer.

He might be thinking of it, but he'd have to clarify.

[viral vector]

Yeah, just guessing he could have meant that :P

[quiet rock]

no wait, hydra shock is called

sorry i got confused

using that for mutants

[glossy zinc]

Any idea if it is possible to follow that npc there? I was following him from Army Warehouses but sadly, unlike npc, I cannot cross that red wall.

[tidal raft]

Hydra-shock is exclusively anti-mutant rounds.

[quiet rock]

ah good

[thick pawn]

where can i find the scripts please to edit damage numbers?

do i have to edit the scripts of a specific mod?

[viral vector]

Nope, not in person. he is inbetween loading zones but he should move eventually.

move as in move out of that area

[thick pawn]

@tidal raft where do i find the scripts to edit though please?

[tidal raft]

Right-click the add-on in MO2, [Open in Explorer]

[thick pawn]

sorry, what addon is it called?

[rare sluice]

Would recommend downloading AgentRansack. Searches files for a phrase or word

You need to edit weapon files I believe

[tidal raft]

Use the search bar at the bottom of MO2.

[rare sluice]

Sorry for repost Aldo, I was trying to help

[tidal raft]

Ask in #🔨modded-gamma-support

[north turret]

Just wondering, is there any reason there aren't any squads patrolling in Jupiter or Zaton? I turned off story mode so i don't know if that has anything to do with it.

[tidal raft]

Because you haven't turned off the Brain Scorcher and Miracle Machine yet.

[north turret]

Ahhh you have to do that even with story mode turned off?

i didn't know that

[snow talon]

Heh
I asked myself the same question this weekend

Just zombie-stalkers everywhere

[gusty kiln]

How on Strelok's SEVA suit are we supposed to do Lab X18 when even an exosuit isn't enough to protect you from the flying steel containers?

3-4 hits and I'm a goner from full health

[mystic oar]

kill the flying spark balls

[viral vector]

Has anyone been able to access this stash in the outhouse in the bloodsucker village? Crouching does nothing and if I go prone it shows "search box (F)" but actually pressing F does nothing for me there.

[gusty kiln]

There are various and the milk canisters keep coming at my head

It's definitely not a fun locaion

[mystic oar]

dodge and weave

[tidal raft]

Sneak.

[gusty kiln]

You mean poltergeists don't just know your location automatically?

[tidal raft]

Only if you move fast.

They sense movement like electromagnetic pulses. Moving slowly makes it hard for them to find you.

[gusty kiln]

It's still a special kind of hell, but thanks for the tip

[untold olive]

in general if you cant access something unless going prone, you can spam prone and F to open it, works after a few tries

[viral vector]

yeah, I tried that for minute or so changing angles and stuff like in some cases before. had no luck with this one, though.

no big deal really. was just wondering if it is possible at all of if it is bugged because the box itself is like 1 meter below you there and looks kinda out of reach even though it gives you the prompt to search it.

[snow talon]

I mean theres other bugged stashes

One of my green ones in radar id laying in one of those fake attics you can only access via a broken roof tile
It doesnt even show an interaction when its plainly in the open

[stoic moth]

So what's the difference between the scar-h and fa-58?

[snow talon]

One is a prototype from 1958
The other isnt

Also one is made by french, the other by belgians

[stoic moth]

Sure, but in game. I see the scar get a lot of hate for a 7.62x54 gun

[snow talon]

Should be 7,62x51, no?

[stoic moth]

51*

[snow talon]

Hm, idk
Maybe scar ingame has inferior modding options

[graceful iron]

just the model, options and stats

[snow talon]

Or shittier kit-conversions

In Mags redux its probably garbo because its forced to use 20rnd mags

Or do 7,62x51 50rnd drums exist? Idk tbf

[stoic moth]

There's 30 rnd mags for it in mags redux, so that puts it on par with the sa-58 in terms of rounds

[snow talon]

Oh you mean SA-58

FA-58 is a french prototype
SA-58 is a modernised/rebuilt shorty-fal

[stoic moth]

I might have to check it out myself. I don't worry about the stats too much but the anims might keep me away

The mag reload on the ash12 is what's keeping me from using it

[snow talon]

Long reloads suck ye

[thick python]

Has anyone found the RF Receiver package in Wild Territory with freq. 190Hz?

[tidal raft]

Packages are placed randomly within a few determined spots. You have to search for it yourself.

[mortal pewter]

try looking underground

[tidal raft]

They don't appear in underground areas.

[graceful iron]

in underground parts like the parking lot in wild territory, but not actual underground labs

[mortal pewter]

yeah, I meant underground part. There is a tunnel with anomalies below ground in wild territory, I think package can spawn there and confuse things a bit

or I think it might be some roof, but don't take my word on it

[graceful iron]

it can spawn there, yes

[lethal geyser]

Can i disable this?

[graceful iron]

you can disable the addon or tweak it in the mcm

limited fast travel in mo2

[raven moon]

guys i just cant find this stash maybe I'm blind and I'm missing it but it says that it should be in the bush right in front of me but i just cant find it i have just been spamming F in a bush for 15 min and i really cant seem to get it

[graceful iron]

there should be a large concrete pipe under that hill

just walk down and go check inside

[raven moon]

can i delete this out of shame?

[graceful iron]

no

it will stay on the internet, forever

[raven moon]

i already got Devine punishment as soon as i left i got a box thrown at me from a anomaly all is right again

[orchid tartan]

Sorry for the question, the addons that start with G.A.M.M.A dont have a moddb link on mo2 and if i search on the website i cant find some. where can i see exactly what they do? just to see if i keept them or not or configure to taste, thanks

[graceful iron]

most of them are addon compat patches or fixes for certain bugs, they arent on moddb as they are "gamma exclusive"

no easy access to configuration for them, just edit them yourself if you want to change something

[orchid tartan]

dynamic loot balance, economy, close quarter combat and etc dont seem like minor changes

and even though the name says something i have no clue what they exactly do

[graceful iron]

some of the major ones have documentation in #│📚manual or #╭📖faq

economy, combat, loot and other major changes and mechanics

but the addons themselves arent mentioned. the gamma addons are supposed to be a complete package, no easy way of just taking it apart

[orchid tartan]

i checked faq and changed some stuff, im heading to manual now, thanks btw

[lethal geyser]

what should i change in MO in order to get traders to sell guns and armors?

[graceful iron]

!vanilla

[raw raft]

If you want to be able to buy and sell guns/armors again: #╭📖faq message

[glossy zinc]

What are the best NATO guns for killing with 1 hs(or 2 tap for exo, sth like that) with ammo bought from merc trader

[north turret]

is this good loot from lottery?

[delicate talon]

Hey is there a way to enable debug with GAMMA? I have it enabled in the ANOMALY launcher but I'm not able to access it.

[tidal raft]

!debug

[raw raft]

How to enable debug mode: #╭📖faq message

[oak saffron]

Are there any changes to the merc patch lottery?

[gusty kiln]

I disabled the Miracle Machine and Brain Scorcher, but I still hear the psychic whispering in Jupiter.

[graceful iron]

are you sure its not a psy mutant ?

[gusty kiln]

100%, unless the ambient sound they make bugged out and is constantly playing, even if I reload

There's always a psy spawn in the ventilation shaft place, so I always kill either a Burer or a Controller there

[graceful iron]

try restarting the game, burer sounds can keep playing after their death sometimes

[gusty kiln]

That worked

[gusty kiln]

Is Pripyat usually a slideshow? Entered it from Jupiter, got hit with that 15 fps goodness, there's mutants and monolith everywhere

[long jay]

does this mean that I can start a new game, disable sleep/water deprivation and then create a new game afterwards without them active, without issues?

[carmine wyvern]

"it destroys your whole game AND your Saves"

[long jay]

oh

[tidal raft]

No, it means that you can't play without it.

[long jay]

so no way to disable them at all?

the faq only tells how to allow always sleeping, not never needing to sleep

[carmine wyvern]

I mean you can try

But if they explicitely make a warning for it I wouldnt touch it myself

[graceful iron]

the options for it are completely removed so you cant change them

[carmine wyvern]

Ah, well there u go

[long jay]

I guess back to EFP it is :/

don't like babysitting bars

[graceful iron]

have fun playing cod

[long jay]

gamma is looking nice though

[carmine wyvern]

Its not that hard tho?

[long jay]

just not fun for me personally

[gusty kiln]

To be fair, sleeping is not really an issue. It's the least of the annoyances you could have, and it serves a purpose (helps you heal your body hp bars)

[carmine wyvern]

Whats worse is the HP drain from low water after waking up

[long jay]

i guess you are right about that one, tbh i never really tried to play with those 2, but i just disliked the idea of having them

ill give it a try for like 2 hrs and see if it becomes a problem for me

[gusty kiln]

I'm way more annoyed by artifacts having 15% efficiency than I ever was by needing to sleep

[long jay]

yea i always turn off artifact degradation aswell, but it's not possible here either

[mortal pewter]

wait until you find out that you can't get 100% effective artefact because they get rounded down, unlike weapon repair

[gusty kiln]

You can turn off the degradation of the perk artifacts, but yeah, you still need to fuse the normal ones

[snow talon]

silly question, is there a songlist for gamma?

[long jay]

ah okay thanks

[snow talon]

especially the music at 100rads bar slaps

[gusty kiln]

I did, it was awful. My gamer OCD was in shambles, especially since if you press Ctrl it shows that the artifact could have an extra 1% protection/etc

[snow talon]

no songlist?

[long jay]

you could track down the original mod pages for these audio mods that are used, maybe they have a songlist for you

[glossy zinc]

Hey, do you know if its possible to "decraft" advanced tools into basic one? I am playing as merc, usually "hunting" in Limansk or Army Warehouses. Definately not planning to go south xD maybe once I fix some shotgun and find exoskelon companion so I will unlock the Death City - Yanov path but I cannot fix a gun without the basic tools.

[tidal raft]

You can't reverse an item you have crafted.
Reload a save if you can.

[willow hawk]

just drink and use sleeping pills to sleep ?

[long jay]

costs money 😭

[willow hawk]

Yeah it's part of the economy

[tidal raft]

"Takes too much time out of my shooty shooty, bang bang-time!"

[long jay]

i play stalker as a looter shooter

[willow hawk]

if you can't afford sleeping pills, drink vodka

gamma is the ultimate looter shooter, change my mind

it has a lot of crafting, scavenging and survival element yes

[long jay]

not argueing, i mean i just like games like borderlands, but stalker does that but also itches my realistic gun obsession

[willow hawk]

ah

then yeah gamma is not your thing

[long jay]

the crafting was what drew me to gamma

but the other realism elements kinda make it meh for me

[willow hawk]

but honestly the eating, drinking, sleeping problem is mostly a "get into the mood"

just like Tarkov imo

[long jay]

yea

[willow hawk]

food is easy to come by

just cook mutant meats

water is cheap, just buy flasks

and sleeping, well, usually you should be tired at the end of the day anways

try waking up early, by 21:00 you should be tired

[long jay]

im still in the process of testing the waters for if i like this modpack, i haven't run into issues with the bars yet because it hasn't been long but the radiation is brutal

[willow hawk]

if you aren't, eat copious meals and drink alcohol, this shuld help you sleep

radiation, yes, use a gasmask and/or radioprotectants

[long jay]

i should have probably read more guides, but does that mostly negate it?

[willow hawk]

it's a game around Chernobyl, of course radiations are a problem right?

[north turret]

Is there a way of reviving dead npc's?

[willow hawk]

good gasmask = no rads

[long jay]

thats actually really cool

[willow hawk]

but the norther you are, the stronger the rads

rad protectant drugs will carry you in dangerous areas

for which your gasmask isn't good enough

[north turret]

Or water. Gets rid of radiation quickly

[willow hawk]

that's useful to get stashes in northern part of the zone for which your gear isn't good enough

[willow hawk]

true

or smokes

combining smokes and water are usually a cheap way

[north turret]

Yup

[oak saffron]

smokes, vodka, and water

[north turret]

Vodka and caffeine pills combo

[oak saffron]

Lotta options to reduce or resist rads

[north turret]

Get rid of rads and not get dizzy

[long jay]

main killer here is that i heard it was randomized and I memorized most of the patches from anomaly. it also seems to deal a ton more damage

[north turret]

True

[willow hawk]

yes it's random

[tidal raft]

DAO spawns random hotspots every time an emission occurs.

[willow hawk]

and there's gamma system that generates spots at save creation

[tidal raft]

Oooh..

I didn't know that..

[long jay]

so every time i save it makes new spots?

[tidal raft]

He means after "character creation".

[long jay]

oh

[tidal raft]

Generating a new seed for each character.

[long jay]

gotcha

[vapid peak]

Caffeine pills after you use yadulin too

[glossy zinc]

I didnt craft it, I have found 2 Advanced Sets xd

[tidal raft]

Okay. There is no downgrading of toolkits.

[glossy zinc]

k ty

[snow talon]

gahh, I cant find any good music links

100rads bar radio is too good

[tidal raft]

If you're uncertain about the modpack you can watch how I play it on my playlist:
#╟🎮stalker-videos📹 message

Not saying "watch everything", but you can get glimpses of what it's like trying to play GAMMA fairly quickly.

[long jay]

okay i'll take a look

btw, can radiation patches spawn in the middle of paths inside bases like cordon village or rostok?

heard a streamer recall that their first character instantly got radiation poisoning upon spawning

[snow talon]

ok, so I found the soundfile with the music I want
Now to find a way to recognize the song lel

[long jay]

may have played it up for the audience

[tidal raft]

All safe-zones are exempt from anomaly spawns.

[long jay]

okay thanks

[tidal raft]

It can happen if he picked a spawn location that is not within a safe-zone.
E.g. merc spawning in Wild Territory, Monolith spawning in Red Forest, Loner spawning in Agroprom, etc.

[long jay]

ah okay, he did start as the UNISG faction so that might be why

[tidal raft]

Yes. The Sawmill in Darkscape is not a safe-zone.

That's on him for picking the hardest faction to play in GAMMA.

[long jay]

apperently so hard you are not allowed to spawn xD

jk, i get you just need to retry to get another seed for rad zones

[tidal raft]

Yes.

[willow hawk]

usually no

[willow hawk]

equip the gas mask quickly, but yeah UNISG is for seasoned players

Merc as well

beginners should play loner or clear sky

clear sky is the easiest imo after ecologists

hardest are UNISG and Mercs

[violet pivot]

hello. found an artefact on a corpse, tried to sell it to sakharov, but seems like he's not interested. any reason why?
took it out of the container, btw

[graceful iron]

its in low condition

traders only buy them in 30% or more

#│📚manual you can "empower" and "fuse" artefacts

[violet pivot]

aw hell nah
gonna read the manual then, thanks

[oak saffron]

only downside with CS start is swamp location

and thankfully, radiation isn't as bad there compared to Cordon

[mystic oar]

How do you change the zoom level on variable zoom scopes?

V zooms in but does not zoom back out

[north turret]

I use mouse wheel

[fringe roost]

Opened my inventory with the backpack animations on but the backpack didn't show up nor did my inventory open. I'm stuck and can't even open console what do i do?

[north turret]

dont use backpack animations

[lime sinew]

Does no one sell 556 ammo unless I farm rep first??

Checked Mercenaries and Freedom but neither of them selling it

[vapid peak]

They can but it's rare if you're under 1k rep

[lime sinew]

well shit

time to farm rep

[vapid peak]

You'll start seeing it at 500 if your gamma is updated recently. Grok put in ammo starting at 500 randomly

[north turret]

Some weapons don't work with the variable zoom scopes. For example VSS-PSO works fine, but for (i think it was) an AK 47 variant it doesn't

[nova kraken]

I just realize “Mystery of the Zone” quest is disable as default

is something wrong with it?

is it ok to turn it on?

[oak saffron]

think its disabled due to how unstable it is iirc

[empty coral]

can you use multi fuel stove with campfire?

[mystic oar]

you don't need to

[quaint quarry]

Is there a option or mod to overwrite the quick save load to instead be load last save?

[empty coral]

I'm standing next to a campfire but it doesn't let me cook, so you can't use the stove for the campfire afterall?

[mystic oar]

you need fuel to use it

guess you can't use a campfire?

try looking directly at the campfire then opening the stove

[willow hawk]

No

[empty coral]

rip. I guess infinite uses cooking equipment and infinite fuel is too good to be true

[mystic oar]

charcoal and kerosene are abundant anyways

[oak saffron]

Yeah

[thick python]

what's the max supply level for technicians when on max goodwill?

[mystic oar]

4

goodwill doesn't matter

[tardy yoke]

Level 4 at 2000 rep

[thick python]

but the duty tech increased his supply with my goodwill raising. thank you. just wondering, why he's still on sup3, even tho he refreshed his inventory.

[willow hawk]

You gave him tools

[thick python]

basic and advanced, no expert yet

[mystic oar]

advanced is level 3

[willow hawk]

4 at mechanics

No tool > basic > advanced> expert

[thick python]

do I have to give the mechanic all tools to have him on 4, with max goodwill?

[willow hawk]

Just all tools

You don't need goodwill

[empty coral]

Why is the CPU utilization so low, am I doing anything wrong? I've tried all the stuff in #old-framerate-optimisation to remove stutters but all it does is reduce my GPU utilization while the stutters persists

[thick python]

thx

is there a loot-all button? - Shift+t. nvm

[tardy yoke]

I Generally just hold shift and hover

If you hover over an item with durability and click ctrl, it will show you the full repaired stats as well.

Keeps you from wondering if a bandit leather jacket is really better than your sunrise suit

Works with Artifacts as well, guns work differently as their durability is how dirty they are, not condition

[willow hawk]

It's all about the CPU

[empty coral]

Is there anyway I can force it to utilize more CPU?

[mystic oar]

I think I read somewhere that x-ray only uses one thread?

[obtuse jungle]

i know it only uses one core

i know nothing else

[willow hawk]

More like, remove core 0 and OC your CPU

[snow talon]

I have supply level 5 with loners and dooty

[nova kraken]

which deagle that Nimble can upgrade?

I thought it is a normal Desert Eagle?

[vapid peak]

EFP had the campfire cooking. I guess Grok figured it was too easy

[willow hawk]

It's just that there are two cooking tools and they both have their utility and way of working

[versed cedar]

Does distant shadow culling tank fps

I read that it does

[willow hawk]

Hum not sure no

Never seen any difference

[vapid peak]

It should help fps as it removes distant shadows

[versed cedar]

It’s just I was in the efp discord and they did some testing on it and it showed that it lowered your fps due to the constant shadow changing I believe there’s before and after slides of fps performance

I’m just saying this because it might be something to look into for the new faq

[vapid peak]

It makes sense. More shadows are drawn as you move

[versed cedar]

Yeah it might be worth it to change the faq but yeah I actually noticed an fps difference with it off tbh

[vapid peak]

I'm guessing it's not huge. 1-5?

[versed cedar]

About 2 for me

[vapid peak]

That's not bad

[versed cedar]

But that’s 2 extra right haha

[vapid peak]

I'll give it a shot

[versed cedar]

Ima fps pincher

[vapid peak]

Yeah same.

Or at least I try to be lol anomaly doesn't really allow you because apparently settings that should help don't

[versed cedar]

Yeah it’s all really in the nvidia control panel for me tbh

On how it affects performance

These are the before and after slides I guess of distant shadow culling

In how it can drain your performance

[tidal raft]

The game runs on a single core.

[carmine wyvern]

Guess I will need to get a Intel CPU then

😫

[tidal raft]

That's the most optimal choice for this game, yes.

[carmine wyvern]

Or a newer AMD CPU

But then again, inflation

[inner spindle]

does GAMMA add a lot more stalkers and mutants in the zone? I killed 3-4 bandits in xenotechs building. While looting another 4 attacked it. Killed those and got another 3 a few min later attacking the building.

[vapid peak]

That place is always getting hammered

[ivory comet]

Do bigger mutants have armor? Or just large health pool? Should I be using pen rounds instead of shrepnel buckshot for pseudo giant and chimera?

[vapid peak]

It's a decent loot spot to go back to though. I've found mercs there too

[vapid peak]

They do. But you should always aim for the head

Never use AP rounds

Not even if they have high flesh damage

They will pierce and do less damage

[inner spindle]

but it is because of gamma? also garbage had like a fleshes and bandits rush hour.

[vapid peak]

I couldn't say if it's BECAUSE of gamma. As I didn't play much of regular anomaly

[inner spindle]

I have also dynamic mutants installed, thought that maybe the higher population could be because of that addon as well

[vapid peak]

You want to use .45 hydroshock/shotgun slugs/buckshot. Aim for the head when appropriate.

[ivory comet]

Thanks I’ll teach that bloody chimera a lesson next time

[vapid peak]

It's possible. You're playing stalker lol one of the most RNG games built into a mod full of RNG

[vapid peak]

Watch how easy it is when you follow the realistic approach to ammunition

[inner spindle]

maybe I should try turning the population down in the settings and see how it goes

[vapid peak]

Like how many mutants?

Default gamma I'd say in garbage there's from 25-30 mutants spread across

[inner spindle]

since were talking about ammo:

1. should I aim for the legs on heavy armor stalkers when I dont have AP rounds?
2. when I shoot them in the head, does that affect helmet conditon when I loot them later?

[vapid peak]

And that's without hunting quests active because they spawn more mutanta

[vapid peak]

Those are a bit more technical for me I don't want to lie to you. I'm not sure there is a "leg meta" I'm guess you're thinking Tarkov. But I don't want to say it's not true. Chances are they're not as protected in the legs but also you're doing less damage overall so it depends how that correlates to how much damage you do partial penning to the head or chest

In my experience completing a full run. Landing headshots always felt like the play. And I'm pretty sure items randomly roll durability/damage when you loot them

Because you might not loot a helmet at all most of the time

[inner spindle]

since Ive always used mags, I mixed the rounds in them, like 2 AP 2 normal, 2 AP, 2 normal...
guess ill continue the strategy in gamma as you never know whats coming round the corner

[willow hawk]

Which cpu do you have atm ? AMD CPU are fine

[willow hawk]

HP ammo for mutants, always

[willow hawk]

Gamma is much more busy in terms of NPCs and mutants yes

[willow hawk]

Yes aim for the legs. No it doesn't impact loot condition

[inner spindle]

should I turn the population down a bit in settings the get the zone a bit less busy?

[carmine wyvern]

Ryzen 9 3900x

[willow hawk]

I don't think so. It might make the zone a bit too dead imo

[carmine wyvern]

The 5000 series is the one with the hugely better single core Performance

[willow hawk]

Enemies= action and faster progression

[carmine wyvern]

But i cannot justify upgrading

[willow hawk]

Try turbo boost

[carmine wyvern]

With the AMD Tool?

[willow hawk]

To allow the most used cores to have boosted frequency

At the cost of the frequency of others

This should definitely help

[carmine wyvern]

😳

Will try with 1.0

[inner spindle]

I understand that but having bandits rush you like in a tower defense game got a bit weird and even breaks the immmersion for me

[carmine wyvern]

Soon ™️

[willow hawk]

It's called AMD Turbo Core @carmine wyvern

[willow hawk]

You can tweak the pop factors in MCM ZCP

[inner spindle]

is there a spreadsheet available for different bullet damages against different armors and body parts?

[willow hawk]

No

Debug menu has all bullets

And you guns damage is accurate to give you the base line damage of the caliber

[north turret]

Does the condition of armor plates have any meaning?

Doesn't appear to affect stats or go down when shot

[gusty kiln]

Armor Plates condition is just a carry-over from the artifact/perk artifacts efficiency system. The plates work at 100% all the time and don't decrease, so use with impunity

[north turret]

noice

[vapid peak]

You can find damaged plates and their stats will be reduced

But they can be upgraded and it will repair them to full and they'll no longer lose durability

[inner spindle]

did some testing, seems that 100% barrel m700 kills exos with 1 headshot and with a 24% condition barrel m700 takes 5 headshots. Both done with AP rounds

[tidal raft]

#📢announcements

[north turret]

how do i get psu crafting recipes?

[tidal raft]

Purchase from Sakharov or Doucheman at high goodwill.

do silencers affect bullet damage?

[rare sluice]

They do not currently but will increase it by 5% soon

[north turret]

Anyone Having fps drops when wearing masks?

[tidal raft]

Disable the mask overlay in the in-game UI settings.

[willow hawk]

You can't find them anymore supposedly

[willow hawk]

Doucheman

[tidal raft]

Mark my words, when I play next time—I will modify his name into that.

[glacial aspen]

Can I safely remove health system without starting a new game?

dont found expert tool kit even after 100 stashes achievement. is it bug or need some special circumstances?

[azure palm]

i'm at the farm in cordon, i'm not seeing the trader. is he moved or dead or something? this is my first gamma playthrough so i'm not sure if he should be missing.

[glossy marlin]

@azure palm sometimes he is asleep in the back. try coming back later

[vapid peak]

You might be in the wrong places for it to drop. Needs to be red forest, Limansk, radar, pripyat, dead city, etc. Northern most part of the map

[glossy zinc]

Hey, I am using Mauser (upgraded to Masuer 98 Forester using special kit) and there is a dedicated supressor kit for that model (upgraded) but it doesnt work, is there a way to make it work?

[tidal raft]

You have to search in areas north of Army Warehouse.
AW and below doesn't have Expert Tools.

[vapid peak]

Does meadow drop them? Someone said they did

[tidal raft]

No.

[stoic moth]

The model you get when you add the kit already has the suppressor kit installed. Dunn of it it's a BaS or gamma oversight but you don't need the second kit

[glossy zinc]

oh, I thought I can add extra one becuase I actually use a fidderent suspensor on it xD

[vivid heart]

hi guys how can i turn on the animated backpack?

i mean

[warped ginkgo]

go to mcm options, find FDDA tab, and enable backpack animations

keep in mind that it can bring problems in the future

and i don't think you should report those kind if you encounter them

[graceful iron]

please dont report bugs or crashes that animation causes, its disabled by default in gamma for multiple reasons

[vivid heart]

do weapon part conditions affect the damage of the gun?

ive shot a loner with a leather coat in the head 3 times with a mosin nagant with ap rounds and hes just vibing

The condition and the barrel %

If they're low you'll do no damage

Hey folks just got the mod yesterday but I was wondering how do I level up traders?

[tidal raft]

#│📚manual

[willow hawk]

Only the barrel condition @modest depot

[modest depot]

👍

[quiet rock]

but for a quick response: you do quests for the faction, that gives you reputation with the faction. The faction have reputation thresholds, when you reach them you level the faction traders

[grave oriole]

shouldn't i be able to fix the barrel with that cleaning kit?

it's at 63%

[surreal yarrow]

ehm... is provaks weapon pack in the mod ( Probably now bc provak doesnt wants ppl to use his mod) but is it compatible or at least do we have more weapons than vanilla anomaly

[mystic oar]

Provaks weapon pack is a modpack in itself, so no

[potent summit]

Fenced LC suit or Looted NBC suit?

[mystic oar]

Gamma does have a shit ton of custom weapons tho yes

[half bison]

Is there a way to get the psy-protection headpiece if I'm not friendly with the ecologists? My team of mercenaries fell on rostok like a hammer and the ecologists hate me now

[warped ginkgo]

what?

provak is a modpack that uses blindside, boomstick and taz and some other weapon mods

most anomaly modpacks also use blindside and boomstick

[vivid heart]

yes, but not with different voices every time

[mortal pewter]

why did they though? Mercs are neutral with ecologists

[vivid heart]

and damn, it just fucked up my game

[surreal yarrow]

yeah but are these mods in GAMMA?

I just want to know if I can see that shit ton of nice weapons with some money glitches again?

[warped ginkgo]

yes...?

taz is not in gamma cuz nobody likes the majority of anims

and also there is enough bloat

[surreal yarrow]

ok I mean I didnt played it yet and cant say how it is bc I didnt found an perfect video for it, but still thanks for the information 😄

gamma includes BaS, gun replacers and some custom gamma made/edited guns. if you want to see the full modlist take a look in #❗welcome

hey I got 303 addons instead of the 304

how do I figure out which one im missing

on the installer?

i dont see anything labeled MD5

[brisk zinc]

In the **south **part of the Zone (everywhere under Red Forest) is where you'll find Basic and Advanced

You'll just need to replace the old one you can find in GAMMA RC3\.Grok's Modpack Installer.

updating an addon prob isnt too helpful if you dont actually have the addon....

Because the new installer is just better at don't miss anything when you download for the first time

[dense crag]

still have 303 mods

after doing md5 and complete install

no errors

did you follow Falco's link to update the installer?

Go to modbb and see if youre blocked

[warped ginkgo]

keep in mind that md5 is something like complete install

[dense crag]

nah cba

Have a stroke there?

[warped ginkgo]

[polar yoke]

Because I don't want to listen to that radio

It overlaps the rest of the music

Oh, thank God.. I found it...
it's in "Anomaly radio extended".

[brisk zinc]

I was searching for the name of that mod

You beat me to it

Search for "Yanov", there's probably a folder for it

[polar yoke]

Yep!! Thank you Falco.
Nothing wrong with the radio btw, it's just sometimes you want some "quiet" time, you know😅

[brisk zinc]

For the "other" music in game, you can just disable a mod

For "radio music", you already have the answer, of course

[agile pivot]

whats the standard FOV in Gamma? I seem to have had a bug where me looking through a scope changed my FOV

[warped ginkgo]

80 for sure and hud fov is 0.65

[orchid tartan]

what do lsz ai tweaks and GAMMA FDDA rework do?

i started a new game and now gamma works, but it plays no animation when opening inventory and such, or is another mod?

[agile pivot]

Fdda is modified in Gamma

You can control some animations through the mod settings

Also see if you have "toggle animations" bound to some key so you can activate and deactivate them

[orchid tartan]

yeah i just tested if the game started, mcm later. and what about lsz ai tweaks?

what other disabled mods are worth to enable in your opinion? and what other you chose to disable or not worth to have/pain in the ass

[north turret]

why does ace seva require a heavy repair? because it's endgame of sorts?

[tidal raft]

Yes.

[orchid tartan]

and what about all the addons that are flagged as redundant on mo2? should i disable them to avoid script overload or performance issues/bugs?

[rare sluice]

No, don't touch them

[orchid tartan]

and the shader that says its outdated, i also leave it like that right?

[graceful pier]

Are weapon parts non-repairable below 60%? I've tried with the universal kit, dedicated kits, right clicking both the kits and the parts in my inventory, and the only way I can fix parts is to use up one slot on the specific repair kit for the weapon class. Either that, or repair those I find above 60% with the file/ramrod, and purchase the rest from vendors.

[timid jewel]

How long is an ingame day?

[rare sluice]

Only if you want to spend an arm and a leg with a "Part Repair Kit" or smth named like that

[graceful pier]

So better to just toss everything under 60 and buy what I can't find?

I can't find any repair kit that can fix below 60 anyway

[rare sluice]

You can sell trashed parts to mechanics

[rare sluice]

Only sold by mechanics for like 30k I believe

[graceful pier]

Alright good to know, thanks

[snow talon]

can I TP companions somehow

they are kinda stuck

[tidal raft]

Literally an optional mod in the list.

[snow talon]

I have it, but wheres the keybind

it doesnt teleport anything to me, btw iam in a lab rn, and companions arent able to pass through a large gate

[tidal raft]

K or J

[snow talon]

looks like I need to keep spamming it, now its starting to TP them individually

[empty epoch]

is there any way to change the amount of food needed to survive, i mean reduce the amount of food to eat?

[brisk zinc]

You're probably eating canned food

Eating cooked mutant meat keeps the stomach full for longer

#╭📖faq message

[empty epoch]

no, yeah i starded eating canned food but i learned that eating coocked food is better, but i would love to reduce like 10-20% the amount needed

[brisk zinc]

I don't know if that is possible but boar chop or whatever the name is keep you full for maybe half a day

Basically all cooked food is better

[rare sluice]

Messing with food and sleep CAN fuck up the game so it's highly advised not to do that

[brisk zinc]

Also

[willow hawk]

You can try tweaking actor.ltx and have fun with the potential imbalance issues

[chrome timber]

Is the freezing after opening inventory caused by too many items marked as favorite?

[rare sluice]

Could you be more specific?

[chrome timber]

When i open my inventory the game just freezes for like, 2 seconds for some reason

[fading sky]

Hey everyone, i'm playing as a mercernary and i just realised that my next mission in the living legend line is to talk to beard? how does that work as a merc? do i need to fight my way in to talk to him or?

[simple pike]

dumb question since i just installed gamma, it is safe to just untick on mo2 something i dont like or i should follow something?

[rare sluice]

Permanently, temporarily? If temporarily, for how long?

[rare sluice]

Depends would not recommend it

[chrome timber]

its very minor, not that long, around 1-2 seconds

it didnt happen when i had barely anything marked as favorite/junk so i thought it might be related

[tidal raft]

If you want to change any add-on which is not Optional, you should ask in #🔨modded-gamma-support

[simple pike]

thanks.

[rare sluice]

Are you opening your main stash or your backpack inventory?

[chrome timber]

backpack

[tidal raft]

Are you using 'backpack animations'?

[chrome timber]

nope

[rare sluice]

I have seen it only in very large stashes (i.e. 1000 kg main stash)

[chrome timber]

maybe its just too many items held?

[rare sluice]

Did you favorite your whole inventory?

[fading sky]

i've also just had some loners come up to me in jupiter and just rub up against me all holding their guns up, even my companions are just ignoring them

[chrome timber]

nope just items i use frequently so i could quick stash loot

[rare sluice]

Questions in order: 1. Disguise 2. No 3. That is the AI trying to kill you without them being able to shoot AKA a bug

[rare sluice]

That last question was just out of curiosity. I've no idea

[cunning swan]

anyone know if using a VPN will bypass the moddb block? worth asking lol

[fading sky]

I'm wearing a merc SEVA suit with patch still on, merc companions, altho this has help solve my beard issue, would a loner disguise allow me to talk to him safely?

[chrome timber]

yup

its related to having too many items favorited

just tested it out after unfavoriting everything

[rare sluice]

Yes if you aren't discovered

[rare sluice]

Yes

[brisk zinc]

Ah that's why then

Good to know

[cunning swan]

cool thanks!

[fading sky]

sweet, ty for the help, now i got to hunt down a loner outfit 😏 . No clue what was going on with those loners, they followed me from out of no where, wonder if it was a bounty set on me bugging out?

yeah if anyone has the same issue in the future it might be useful to know it

[full comet]

Question Mech cant repair suits ?

[chrome timber]

Nope

Only weapons iirc

[crisp ledge]

#│📚manual message

[full comet]

dammit

so its not worth to repair suit with 30$

[crisp ledge]

Id suggest reading the whole manual. many big changes in gamma

[rare sluice]

This^. If you do anything on this server do this^

[full comet]

Well i played anomaly for long time and then stop so im just curious sorry for ask 😦

[crisp ledge]

Its anomaly plus 304 mods, so its gonna have some big differences

[full comet]

Ye i know that still early is hard just found that white stash has awesome loot

totally dif than anomaly/misery

[crisp ledge]

Green ones will have tools, make sure to check those asap, thats your main upgrade path

[carmine wyvern]

Good to know

Always wondered what the diffetent stash colours mean

[crisp ledge]

White has a chance for tools, Green has a guarantee for them

[rare sluice]

Green just means very good stash, usually but not always tools

[crisp ledge]

Oh? I thought it was guaranteed

[carmine wyvern]

And Purple?

[rare sluice]

Those aren't supposed to be in Gamma

[crisp ledge]

#╓☢stalker-chat message Aldo says otherwise

[carmine wyvern]

Weird, 100% sure i had one or two in my play through

[crisp ledge]

Purple are after you explore all areas in the zone

[carmine wyvern]

Interesting

[graceful iron]

normally there is only white and green, 3 purple for that specific achievement

in anomaly its green and purple (purple being the better tier)

People be rockin' that windows colour filter, hard.

I have poorly calibrated monitors

[tidal raft]

Just calibrate them.

different models so one is always skewed lol

[north turret]

I thought in story mode after you disable brain scorcher loners become nuetral?

[rare sluice]

Faction relations don't change

[graceful iron]

as merc or UNISG, yes they do

[rare sluice]

Damn it, you made me strike through my post

[graceful iron]

also, if you get 500 goodwill with any faction they just dont shoot you

[graceful iron]

play the game more (i am joking please dont do this to yourself)

[north turret]

After disabling brain scorcher you should've received a message about loners and mercs being neutral. IDK what the deal is with those Jupiter loners, maybe a hit squad that is bugging because of that if they set out to kill you before you went neutral?

[graceful iron]

it can happen with bounty squads

[rare sluice]

Ooh! An obscure and mostly irrelevant mod idea? Just for me?

[graceful iron]

wat

[rare sluice]

Fixing the bounty squads so they don't attack you once neutral

[graceful iron]

oh thats ... okay

[rare sluice]

As I said, "obscure and mostly irrelevant mod idea"

[graceful iron]

i was afraid of something ... bad

[north turret]

or make them super dangerous so it actually has meaning

[rare sluice]

Like making a mod that replaces all sounds with MLG sounds?

[graceful iron]

close

[tidal raft]

Chimeras replaced with sounds and models of Thomas the Tank Engine.

[graceful iron]

dont give modders ideas please there are enough lean addons

[graceful iron]

actually, isnt that already a thing ?

It is, unfortunately.

Is there some list of rewards in "the lottery"? [merc random rewards]

it shouldnt do that, the installer doesnt delete anything except addons in gammaRC3/mods and reinstalls them

make sure your antivirus didnt somehow delete them

its fine as long as you have the helmet

k ty

[loud sierra]

I haven't touched it since Addons: 288. But you said the actual Anomaly folder is never modified?

[graceful iron]

it has some of its files replaced, but not deleted

but not the savedgames or other files, its just the bin, gamedata and user ltx

[loud sierra]

Honestly have no idea what happened.

[brisk zinc]

You wish

[loud sierra]

But the last thing I did was do a full update. Maybe some rare bug or something.

do you have multiple antivirus softwares ?

Only Defender. Nothing in the audits, or any popups, and never had an issue before

That's really strange

Updated a good 4 times beforehand

[graceful iron]

cant think of what else could just remove anomaly's files except an AV

But why leave just the bin folder and not nuke the whole thing?

the bin folder is the most deleted by antivirus to... especially the exes in it

hey i was just wondering i havent had any issues so far except the water textures seem to flash a bit when im moving if i stand still they are fine is this normal or is there some fix?

[gusty kiln]

Where are SIN supposed to spawn in? First time I entered Red Forest a group of Loners entered their cave and murdered their trader NPCs, and now there's always a Loner inside

So I've only ever fought 1 SIN, randomly wandering in Jupiter

[vapid peak]

Pretty much there. They spawn in another place but only if you're on the quest line for them

[gusty kiln]

Huh, so I'll never see SIN, I suppose

[vapid peak]

Don't know how loners killed sin tbh

Literally almost statistically impossible

[gusty kiln]

They done did the impossible.

Kind of a bummer, since I can't get their equipment now

[vapid peak]

Wait a few in game days maybe sin will repopulate

Sin equipment isn't very good tbh

[gusty kiln]

Every time I enter Red Forest, there's a Loner inside their cave

[vapid peak]

They use a lot of LMGs

[gusty kiln]

And Red Forest is also pretty populated with other squads, usually 2-4 ecos, loners, etc

Even before I disabled the Brain Scorcher

[vapid peak]

Maybe could got swarmed

Do you do any custom mods for gamma? Something that could have forced them to be vastly outnumbered?

[gusty kiln]

Nope, just normal GAMMA

[vapid peak]

Weird. I spent damn 110 hours in my clear sky and they respawned a few times

[gusty kiln]

Maybe they never respawn in my game for some reason, since when I entered the cave the only 2 SIN bodies I found were their 2 NPCs

The game decided to spawn Loners instead

[vapid peak]

Doesn't make sense tbh. There is like at least 6 sin I'm that cave

Only thing I can think of do the living legend quest about strelok

It leads into the sin quest right after

It could force spawn them for you

[gusty kiln]

Will do, their psy shield effect thing was pretty neat

[vapid peak]

Just be careful the end of living legend takes you to pripyat and it's very end game stuff there

[gusty kiln]

Oh, I already have end-game gear, visited Pripyat twice already, for funsies

[vapid peak]

Oh word. Then you're good to go. Should fix your problem hopefully

[quaint quarry]

Is there a way to check to see active stalkers.

Like the total "registered stalkers"

[sleek vault]

iirc the phone thing should show registered stalkers

[manic fox]

Hey, for some reason the guns are really up close in my face even though my FOV is set to 95. Unsure why, I was crouching and aiming (with toggle aim enabled) and suddenly it wouldn't let me stop aiming so I disabled toggle aim.

Every time I'd try to stop aiming, itd just play the aiming animation again which was why I had to disable it. Checked the FAQ to see if this was addressed anywhere and it wasnt, maybe I just missed it though.

Anything I haft to do special for aggressor reshade besides add the reshade folder and enable the base mod that's inside the mod organizer, or is it a bit more involved than that?

[willow hawk]

Press the zoom key again ?

[frank steppe]

Hello

Can i ask, whats the total filesize for the gamma modpack? How many gigabytes will i need to download for all of the 300+ mods? Thank you

[willow hawk]

#old-how-to

It's written

[frank steppe]

Oh, sorry. Thank you 😌

[rose lake]

Hi stalker, I can't lunch my glowstick when I equip them. Under-barel grenade luncher or use key dsn't work, any tips ?

[empty coral]

how do I enable elemental damage upon npcs? it just feels weird when I have to stay indoor for an emission and npcs can just face tank them like nothing

[vapid peak]

Wouldn't advise it. Key NPCs don't take shelter during those and will die

[empty coral]

so that's why, thank you for the answer

[wary field]

Should I be figuring out my ballistic resist for head and body separately? The bar seems to add them both up but they apply differently depending on where you are hit right?

[viral vector]

Yeah, the bar is not really reliable. Even when fully filled up, which suggests you are at 100% resistance, you will still take damage. It is better to judge for yourself by looking at the BR rating of your helm/armor and their ballistic resist percentage.

[wary field]

But head and body are separate right? Or can I just get a ton of ballistic resist through my armor and attachments and not worry if my helmet is weak?

[viral vector]

they are separate, yes. so a giant armor wont help if you wear a simple gas mask and something hits your head :)

also, notice that ballistic resist and BR are two different things

in case you havent already :)

and when it comes to body protection the body itself is also better protected than the legs

so shooting legs is a thing

[timid jewel]

I think I pressed something and can no longer indentify stalker from distance by their faction

is it a bug or just some hotkey/option i screwed up

[north turret]

If exo suits have 100% speed instead of 95% is there any reason to run medium armor or not use exo's?

[tidal raft]

Cost, drain and weight of batteries. Also depending on if you have found an Expert toolkit to properly upgrade the suit to unlock sprinting.

Also less attachment slots and no backpack on Exo-suits.

[willow hawk]

Tried long pressing ?

[willow hawk]

Make sure UI is on

Press Numpad Enter

[timid jewel]

I did

But I restarted the game and it fixed itself

the UI was on, I tried turning it on and off repeatedly

its just a bug then

[kind gulch]

does technician sell repair kit? like light repair kit, medium repair kit, .etc i have not give the technician the tool kits cause i don't want to risk losing my tool kits yet

[willow hawk]

When you give them, yes

You can right click your toolkits > open workbench

And craft it yourself from the base items sold by mechanics

[quiet isle]

look like there is a possibility to upgrade the gauss rifle but if i open the upgraade windows and select the gauss then the game crash

[kind gulch]

ok thx for letting me know 😄

[willow hawk]

Yeah don't

[quiet isle]

too bad, i would have loved an upgraded gauss rifle to go attack the NPP

[deft hedge]

are the yantar traders missing by default? I went there and Spirit and the Mechanic are both gone.

[willow hawk]

Weren't they inside

[willow hawk]

Gauss already one shots anything

[deft hedge]

Sadly they're not. So it's not intentional?

[gusty kiln]

If I want to create a personal override for a file used in GAMMA, do I need to copy and edit only the latest file, or do I need to keep in mind all the changes that are made on the previous file?

For example, if I want to change ammo, do I only edit the file in GAMMA Close Quarters Combat, or do I also need to keep in mind the changes that are made in GBOOB ?

[willow hawk]

No it's not... Try sleeping they might come back

[willow hawk]

Search the file in the right MO2 panel, open it, edit it, save it in a new folder under the GAMMA RC3/mods folder, refresh MO2 (double blue arrow icon), the new addon should appear at the bottom of the load order. Tick it

To keep these personalized add-ons upon Update, follow this:

[vapid peak]

I've noticed Butcher goes out for walks too. Intentional?

[willow hawk]

Can happen

[north turret]

ah, I guess I meant "exo-lights"

[tidal raft]

Up to you.

[quiet isle]

just go 1 million $$$ and i didnt got the heavy pocket achievment

[willow hawk]

It's 10mil

Text fix coming soon

[quiet isle]

oh shit, that is a lot of money O_O

[willow hawk]

That's mainly to always have goodwill to earn

I feel like I should make a new supply Level tier at 3000 goodwill with special items

[vapid peak]

I think that's a good idea promotes incentive to grind the achievement. Currently earning 10mil is easily a few hundred hours for one save

[quiet isle]

just got 1 mil and i am more than ready to get to NPP, got probably the best heavy armor in the game, well i have not find better yet in loot, fully upgraded too with 2 nice weapon that fit my style

[vapid peak]

Because you need to have 10mil all at once right? Or is it 10 million over time?

[quiet isle]

you need to have that money in the inventory

[vapid peak]

Exactly I've had all the best in slot items. And I was never close close to 10mil all at once. And my save was over 100 hours

[north turret]

That'd be cool, gotta keep that carrot on a stick

[quiet isle]

i am at day 30 and i have been farming a lot, i probably could make around 500k if i were to sell every single thing i own that is not armor or weapon since you cant sold them

[vapid peak]

Yeah if I liquidated I could probably get around the same but I feel like that invalidates earning the achivement

[quiet isle]

you also end up with nothing to repair or upgrade doing that

[vapid peak]

If it stays at 10 million the games progression needs to be added in some ways.

Even at 5 million it would be a grind

I felt like I was good at making money too. I had an entire stash of animal parts for the quest resets

[quiet isle]

how do you know the number of hour the save is

[vapid peak]

Just going by how long I played per day over the course of days.

[tidal raft]

The point of the 10 million threshold is to incentivise players focusing on maxing goodwill through tasks with a few key traders.

[vapid peak]

I had maximal goodwill with all factions as clear sky

No where close

[tidal raft]

Then you don't need Deep Pockets.

[vapid peak]

What do you mean

[tidal raft]

Deep Pockets unlocks all traders to Lv.5 Supply, despite what goodiwll you have.
That's all it does.

[quiet isle]

i have max with duty and loner since around day 15 and i am at day 30, also almost max with clear sky and freedom, i would have them at max but i went and started to do story quest

[vapid peak]

I mean you could grind the rep before you'd ever get to deep pockets

2 times over

[tidal raft]

Rep =/= Goodwill

[vapid peak]

Yes

[quiet isle]

max goodwill with all faction easy compare to getting 10 mil, i would agree with making it a little lower so you could go for either

rep is one and good will is another

rep is easy enough

[vapid peak]

I'm talking about goodwill... come on now

It unlocks supply levels

[tidal raft]

Lowering the threshold will allow players to farm a single area without risk so they can unlock all other traders' supply level.

[quiet isle]

i dont see how you could farm something like cordon to unlock heavy pocket since you cant sell armor and weapon

[vapid peak]

Even if you don't do that you unlock the goodwill from grinding and you hit maximal anyway

[quiet isle]

you will unlock max goodwill way before

[vapid peak]

Twice over

[tidal raft]

That's the point.

[vapid peak]

The achievement is pointless then imo

[tidal raft]

It's supposed to be.

[vapid peak]

Ehh alrighty

[tidal raft]

It's made that way to not cheese the supply levels.

[vapid peak]

Then if shouldn't even exist lol

Just don't even allow it

[quiet isle]

could be at 5 mil and you could not cheese it

[vapid peak]

5 million still wouldn't be cheesing

I've never had 5 mil over 100 hours and 5 factions maximal

[tidal raft]

It's hard-coded into the engine Removing it would cause issues.

[quiet isle]

and it would make it realist to have it if you ever want to get all the achievment

[deft hedge]

I tried and it didnt work sadly 😦

[vapid peak]

Ah right anomalies achievements

Sorry I'm a trophy/achievement hunter. I expect it to have a purpose I guess

[tidal raft]

Why would it matter if it is 5 or 10 million, as you said—you'd still manage to grind out all traders' supply level before hitting 5 million. So why does it matter if it is lower?

[quiet isle]

so i could actually get the acheivment

[willow hawk]

the idea is to not be able to get it, period

[tidal raft]

Q.E.D.

[vapid peak]

Then why add more trader levels?

Wasn't that your reasoning

[tidal raft]

[willow hawk]

3000 could be nice to have a reason to actually increase the goodwill up to 3000

but I honestly don't know what could go there

[vapid peak]

Ahh okay because 2500 is the max level

[willow hawk]

2000*

500 > 1000 > 1500 > 2000

[quiet isle]

too bad than cause i prefere gamma over anomaly vanilla and i was going for getting as much achievment as possible

[willow hawk]

lv5 at 2000

[vapid peak]

Ok

[willow hawk]

welp, the problem of this achievment is that it makes the game way too easy

[vapid peak]

Maybe have it include expert tools?

[quiet isle]

well you can go all the way to 3k goodwill but nothing new over 2k

[vapid peak]

Might make it too easy

[tidal raft]

Naaaw, say it ain't so!

[willow hawk]

yes it means you can farm in the south for 30 days

until you reach 3000

[quiet isle]

since you cant buy armor or weapon how would it make it too easy ?

[vapid peak]

Unless you could somehow code it for each faction that you only receive it from a certain faction that is theoretically much further in the game

Like let's say for Bandit make it come from merc rep or freedom

[tidal raft]

Play the game completely to the end, and you'll understand.

[tidal raft]

That is way too complicated just to cater to your wishes.

[vapid peak]

It's not my wishes it's an idea not a demand

[quiet isle]

you mean finishing the strelok quest line till the end? i am about to do the npp next time i play

[tidal raft]

Then why are you still pursuing it after being told no several times, even by the creator himself?

[vapid peak]

Pursuing what?

[quiet isle]

maybe because some people like to understant why not

[vapid peak]

He wasn't sure what items to include in an additional supply line

[tidal raft]

We told you why, it makes getting supplies too easy.

[vapid peak]

He's not wrong. The game isn't very hard to begin with when you play the typical Loner beginning which is the fan favorite

[tidal raft]

You lost yourself in this conversation..

Let Expert Tools be sold at an even higher supply level
"No, it makes farming the south areas viable for end-game gear."
What if you X, Y, and Z before it's available?
is pursuing.

[vapid peak]

Well theoretically if bandit could only get it from level 6 merc which resides in the expert tool area. It would make sense

Just an example

Some people aren't getting good RNG taking 20+ hours stash farming

I didn't have a problem. But some people either don't know what's going on or it's affecting them

[tidal raft]

No.... ffs.
You can still farm south tasks for mercs and their allies until Supply Level X and then fast travel to Zaton for the Expert Tools without ever crossing Red Forest..

[vapid peak]

I'm currently a bandit and have found no such tasks. The scarcity wouldn't even allow you to crack a dent.

You'd spend hundreds of hours over doing that than naturally progressing

[tidal raft]

Bandit are Neutral with Mercs, just waltz into Dead City and take tasks.

[gusty kiln]

To be fair, I farm South because I enjoy those maps the most. CoP maps are large but relatively empty

[vapid peak]

That would be way too difficult to do with no gear.

[gusty kiln]

Pripyat and Outskirts are nice though

[tidal raft]

Skill issue.

[vapid peak]

No it's just common sense.

[tidal raft]

It's really not, I don't have time for your trolling anymore. Just play the video game.

[north turret]

could it be stretched out like 500>1250>2250>3000? I still feel like goodwill is easy if your actually progressing

[timid jewel]

If I tear a patch off a suit, that suit is no longer considered a disguise/faction based? And can I put a patch of my own faciton on it?

[vapid peak]

Only patches of that faction suit can be applied

[vapid peak]

But when you tear a patch off the armor you're already considered your own faction then

[brisk zinc]

No, you can't put your patch on another faction suit, if you wear a Duty suit, only Duty patches can be applied on it

If you are a Loner and you wear a Duty outfit with a patch on it & if no one is seeing you, everyone will think you are a Duty

The moment you tear the patch off, you're back as a Loner

[timid jewel]

Alright epic, thanks

[brisk zinc]

Also (but this should be obvious) if you are a Loner and you wear a Duty outfit with a patch on it when someone is seeing you, it won't work, they will still see you as a Loner

Like for example you're surrounded by loners and you wear a Duty suit with the patch on in front of them, still a Loner for everyone

[timid jewel]

I just found a sweet Merc armor but I'm a clear sky

I only don't want people I'm cool with to shoot at me

[brisk zinc]

Tear the patch and you are CS

Simple as

• IIRC but I could be wrong, Mercenary are cool with CS

[timid jewel]

Clear sky armors kinda blow (Except their SEVA, it's the best one I've ever had)

[vapid peak]

Any armor you want just remember to tear the patch off before you run around with it

Pretty much every armor except for a few have patches

[primal star]

Hello, wondering if the mod option under GAMMA fixes [NPCs cannot see through foliage], is default off or on

is it just an optional gameplay thing?

[tidal raft]

It's optional, off by default.

[timid jewel]

I'm not getting a quest marker for finding Scar

despite already doing the quest for sidorovich and him telling me

[vapid peak]

Does it work for other objects? Like boxes etc

Enemies seem to just beam into walls and boxes and such

[tidal raft]

No.

[gusty kiln]

Enemies’ LoS sometimes gets messed up with walls and other cover and they’ll try to shoot through it

[vapid peak]

Yeah it's pretty crazy sometimes

[tidal raft]

Vanilla issue.
