[edgy prairie]

ive literally walked up to one not knowing they were down on the floor

and they didnt do it

put them down after i heard their groans

[grave vigil]

Also whys it so laggy in dark valley

The bandits overloaded on vodka again

[little summit]

If i can't access north before brain scorcher then why does guide can lead me there??

[grave vigil]

Just to make u suffer

[edgy prairie]

shhhh

[little summit]

And i had brain aneurysm in yanov

Lmao

Xd

This is so stupid

[grave vigil]

Wow an M4 with a grenade launcher

That too in a stash

The game loves me so much can't stop giving me basic tools

[little summit]

I think i gave all my advanced tool to the technicians oops

[edgy prairie]

base up at AW and use the table just in front

or in front of mangun

[little summit]

Oooo

I just moved ther

[grave vigil]

Have u seen screw? Guy looks like a gigachad when u go near him but when you open the trade menu the profile pic looks like he's having a seizure

[edgy prairie]

just a bad day in the zone

which is everyday

[grave vigil]

Fr

[edgy prairie]

i would honestly love have a multiplayer experience of being in the zone

with a friend

maybe screw would join for drinks

[grave vigil]

Countless scams revolving that so I don't think anyone is gonna try soon lmao

[edgy prairie]

i know

ill just wait

maybe in the next life stalker

[grave vigil]

Someone might do it in this life

Or probably stalker 2 gets it

[lethal steeple]

ray of hope got its full release some time ago

it even has support for campaigns

there's already one that's like the first third of shadow of chernobyl

[grave vigil]

Oh

[lethal steeple]

granted the usual concerns are there

it's not anomaly

[celest sparrow]

Wait I need to see this

The server is so dead

[hollow wadi]

Y u kill?

[celest sparrow]

Moving to the UE5 engine tho

[hollow wadi]

[celest sparrow]

I covered up their only ray of hope

[hollow wadi]

Calling the cops

[normal island]

Chat did I cook

[celest sparrow]

It fits nicely

[lethal steeple]

to be dead honest yeah

it looks super natural

like actually feels as if it was part of the game

in a good way

like how mraa feels super natural to stcop guns

[normal island]

My shooting anim compared to vanilla

When side to side it's pretty noticeable

[warm verge]

hmm

ok how should i stop my guns from jamming beside cleaning them.'

[valid crater]

Well, if all is clean and it shows 0% probability, I think there's still a 0.01% chance left, and if you hit that consider yourself lucky: you've won the jackpot!

[warm verge]

no

i meant thru like MCM settings

[celest sparrow]

you can't

[warm verge]

I FUCKING CANT???

what is this

[celest sparrow]

you'd have to edit configuration files

[warm verge]

i mean i could do that

[celest sparrow]

https://github.com/Grokitach/Stalker_GAMMA/commit/5b63994acd28f4f81d68cf2104bfb319e689d6f1

Just change the condition to like 90%

[edgy prairie]

what the fuck

please tell me this is not a thing

[inner mantle]

what the fuck

[blissful ivy]

stop

please

just dont

[edgy prairie]

i mean id rather have the wow equivalent of skimpier armor for females

but stalker themed and etc

[blissful ivy]

NO

[edgy prairie]

that in itself is just taking it too far

[blissful ivy]

NO NO NO

WE CANT

[harsh sandal]

[blissful ivy]

https://tenor.com/view/no-no-wait-wait-gif-8174347161288218584

[edgy prairie]

eh i was thinking open shirts and etc

[harsh sandal]

I just open the server

[blissful ivy]

still too far

just give us the same on both genders as it is, equally covered

lol

makes no sense to have an open shirt in a radioactive shithole anyways

[steel mauve]

like marvel rivals lmfao

both sides get sexualised

[blissful ivy]

marvel rivals just kinda meh imo, its mid

[steel mauve]

then again we need a male skin with his ass out in that game cause theres on one of the women characters

[steel mauve]

true

its a gooner game through and through

they dont hide it

[blissful ivy]

which one?

psylocke?

[steel mauve]

psylocke and malice

[blissful ivy]

yeah i thought so

psylocke always had that outfit tho

since comics

[steel mauve]

yea

[blissful ivy]

not surprising there, but most of the others were a little better

not in rivals tho

[steel mauve]

how marvel rivals is marked 15 while having a girls ass out ill never know

[edgy prairie]

MA15+

[steel mauve]

its just 15 here

[edgy prairie]

not like as if its R rated

lets not go there

[blissful ivy]

anyways off the topic of women with their ass out

back to stalker

please

[sage schooner]

Okay women with their ass out in stalker

[edgy prairie]

hmmm

[sage schooner]

How hard is it to change a model?

[edgy prairie]

ya know

[sage schooner]

Asking for a friend

[edgy prairie]

id take the big boss's outfit on a female stalker

the white camo look

[sage schooner]

With scars ?

[edgy prairie]

forgot

okay nvm recalled wrong

it was from MSG3

[celest sparrow]

Pipnik cooked

[sage schooner]

Yeah it was snake eater

[blissful ivy]

who?

[edgy prairie]

saw it earlier and was like, okay maybe too skimpy

[opaque moss]

goated ngl

[sage schooner]

I mean she only shows her tits at the end there is the closed version

[edgy prairie]

yeah, im all for the middle ground

or just closed

lol

[celest sparrow]

ReShade AA guy

also https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1370892524750635149 guy

[tribal dock]

Okay, turns out MP412 is shitty. Didn't think that having 2 parts in a gun would make them wear down so fast

[steel mauve]

id rather play without AA thatn this

[blissful ivy]

oh ok

[blissful ivy]

i never noticed that

[tribal dock]

I started noticing when I put like 80-100 something rounds through it and it started jamming around 85th round

[celest sparrow]

Only at the 85th round

[tribal dock]

Okay, that was an understatement.

I put through like 150 rounds through the gun

[celest sparrow]

I guess compared to other guns it does wear out faster

[blissful ivy]

well all the gun wear is spread on 2 parts, thats gotta mean something

[pliant kestrel]

We need nsfw stalker anomaly mods, like if you become a freedomer, you can 🦆 mutants.

[tribal dock]

Pretty much. I ran a P226 and Five Seven, have barely encountered a jam with either of them.

[pliant kestrel]

Etc.

[tribal dock]

MP412 - jammed up on me a good bit now

[celest sparrow]

https://tenor.com/view/gubby-roblox-forsaken-doors-gubby-forsaken-gif-193523705627044412

[blissful ivy]

dude, stop, we already lost helldivers and all bethesda titles to gooners

and a bunch of other shit

[pliant kestrel]

Yeahhh agreed

[valid loom]

I kinda miss how goon meant you were a henchman working for a bad guy instead of the new thing.

[blissful ivy]

yeah but it is what it is

we needed a word for it eventually

its become too prominent to be left without a word

[valid loom]

Smh

[celest sparrow]

I mean, if you say Me n my Goons then it applies

Gooners is what you would use for the meat beaters

[blissful ivy]

but it wont register any other way

[tribal dock]

Me and my gooners

[lethal steeple]

i still use goon as henchman

[blissful ivy]

most people will still take the new meaning

unless youre in a room with people that arent chronically online

[pliant kestrel]

Yup agreed

[blissful ivy]

then it holds a normal meaning

but online? always the new one 90% of the time

[lethal steeple]

or aren't interacting with someone born past like 2008

zoomer lingo burnt into their brains

[tribal dock]

Goon

[sick yoke]

"we already lost helldivers to gooners"

what did he mean by this

[tribal dock]

I have no idea

[valid loom]

Maybe the robot thing?

[tribal dock]

I guess people gooning to female helldivers, automatons?

[valid loom]

Probably

[celest sparrow]

Holy fuck I haven't seen this one before

[grave vigil]

chat i have 2 advanced should i make heavy repair kit

[tribal dock]

I've seen terminids dressed as helldivers with dumpies on some apps I'm on, so I would not be surprised he also meant that. 💀

[lethal steeple]

my brain did not even register that part of the message what the fuck

[tribal dock]

no

[steel mauve]

gooners

[grave vigil]

understandable have a nice day

[valid loom]

Interesting encounter kinda like Into the Dead

[tribal dock]

Goonmaxxing

[lethal steeple]

chat is into the dead an oldschool deep cut

i kinda feel like it is

god that game was cool

[celest sparrow]

Actually feel giddy seeing this

[tribal dock]

Into the Dead was awesome
Deep Cut made me squeamish

[blissful ivy]

check the nexus page for helldivers 2

just do it

you will see

[celest sparrow]

They're not that much of a threat but man I felt something

[tribal dock]

Especially the third game where the machine you were hooked up to tried to kill you to keep you inside the machine

[valid loom]

Spooky vibe

[steel mauve]

[sick yoke]

oh so literally the "mods that get made for every game to ever exist" mods

[tribal dock]

[blissful ivy]

yeah, but theres an absurd amount

its impressive for a multiplayer game

[celest sparrow]

How about Call of Mini Zombies

[tribal dock]

Fuck

That made me nostalgic

Dead Trigger one with modded APK for infinite money and gold.

[valid loom]

Wait... after looking through it again were those caused by low psy-health?

[celest sparrow]

It was just a scripted event

One I haven't seen before at all

[blissful ivy]

sees video, looks inside full psy health

https://tenor.com/view/looks-inside-cat-meme-gif-9988497200137656952

[valid loom]

It was minimized and Im on mobile

[blissful ivy]

https://tenor.com/view/laughing-cat-catlaughing-laughingcat-point-gif-7577620470218150413

[celest sparrow]

Cue Momo saying that Stalker has no scripted events

It's all A-Life

[blissful ivy]

[valid loom]

I thought those would change to zombified stalkers instead

[celest sparrow]

Since they are scripted, they remain as Zombies

same goes for the Zombies that spawn by the Rostok Checkpoint to AW

[steel mauve]

love commiting warcrimes

[valid loom]

Could use something like that in Pripyat or Outskirts

[steel mauve]

leave my girl alone

"Geneva convention? More like Geneva suggestion."

That very much applies to the Zone.

[blissful ivy]

what if instead of fed stalker

it was fent stalker

and you just mugged people

[edgy prairie]

sounds more like a druggo on a walk

and went around drugging ppl

[valid loom]

https://tenor.com/view/bernard-thevldlsquad-em-vldl-charles-gif-19970314

Though how many rounds of hollow point does it take to make someone surrender instead of outright killing them..

[steel mauve]

fent fold!!!

[edgy prairie]

got a name for ya

Fence

[lethal steeple]

you'd prefer using fmj or ap for this because the moment armor breaks the mob will explode on the next hit

and aim for the foot

or the fingers if you're a crack shot

fingers have the lowest damage multi on the body

[sinful osprey]

I'm realizing a lot of my runs die in the pre MM grind
Like I finally have two decent guns, maybe some good medium armor, but then it's just spamming tasks in the hope of getting a better mutant killer

And the worst part of being merc is no rostok

Rostok is such a good early and mid game base its unreal
Instead I'm doing this huge circuit around rostok doing tasks for different factions that hate each other

[warm verge]

do you not have AW

im p sure you're already neutral with freedom

[sinful osprey]

Yeah but I usually only get like 2 tasks out of it
For some reason lukash is barely giving me anything

[warm verge]

you have skinflint

[sinful osprey]

And skinflint is just "bring me this box" a million times in a row

[warm verge]

and the other people there for tasks

[warm verge]

free loot

[sinful osprey]

I think I just have terrible luck with the freedom base
There's so few freedom stalkers there this run I don't know why

[warm verge]

A-Life just didn't bless you with 60 thousand freedomers

i mean like half the base responded to a barrier defense once

[sinful osprey]

Usually there's a bunch of people around the campfires and up in the watchtowers but this time around nothing

[warm verge]

for me atleast

[edgy prairie]

Bump A life to .5 or .6

[sinful osprey]

There's like the same two guys at the gate, nobody in the towers, two guys at the campfires and the guards at the main building
Way less than usual I feel

[celest sparrow]

You must sacrifice your first newborn child for A-Life to work

[warm verge]

exactly

yanov feels so fucking full at times tbh

[tribal dock]

THERE'S A PSEUDOGIANT IN DARK VALLEY?!

[sinful osprey]

I think there's about as many clear sky dudes in yantar as there are freedomers in what's supposed to be their base lmao

[sinful osprey]

Rare but yeah I've run into them there

[tribal dock]

Man, I wish I had a thermal grenade...

[sinful osprey]

I gotta start going down into great swamp or something because tasks are so damn dry in the dead city>AW>dark valley>yantar circle

[lethal steeple]

the thermite isn't fire damage

[grave vigil]

shrapnel

[sinful osprey]

Having gunfights with loners and being a massive asshole is fun and all but having rostok as a hub is so useful

But I want to see what the north feels like, now that I'll have an actual reason to go into limansk which I never did as a loner

[grave vigil]

oflin lite

[sinful osprey]

Or being able to go into wild territory without dealing with the fire gate which yes is easy to get through but I still don't trust it

[tribal dock]

No, but I had one when I dipped into Lab X16 and had a pseudogiant in the elevator shaft

He did not enjoy the grenade and died from one nade

[lethal steeple]

you got a crazy good shrapnel spread then gahdaym

[tribal dock]

I think it's cos I dropped it right by the giant's feet

[warm verge]

im gonna

raid rostok

cuz fuck doody

[grave vigil]

[calm scarab]

what's "Strangerism's New Player Experience"?

[lethal steeple]

a framework designed to have modern game looking tutorial screens when you interact for the first time with things

i.e. you pick up a broken weapon for the first time in a playthrough and you get a weapon repair tutorial popup

[livid canyon]

holy fuck just finised mirage quest

[pulsar linden]

JESUS
these fuckers jump now

[valid loom]

Oh they have for awhile

[warm verge]

is that the cum pseudogiant

and yes, they jump

alot.

[tribal dock]

THEY JUMP NOW?!

[grave vigil]

Jumping giants exist

I just got horded by 5 of them

In truck cemetery

[edgy prairie]

albinos

honestly, they're a joke

but 5 of those suckers at once?

oof

[grave vigil]

They yeeted from like 15 meters

[celest sparrow]

Only seen 2 at once before

[grave vigil]

The spawn chance is quite low

[tribal dock]

Is there a map with spawn points of lost signal corpses in Darkscape?

[celest sparrow]

Check pinned messages in #╟🔰☢newbies-chat

They're not that far from the Entry points

[pulsar linden]

i mean he ate like 20 shots of buckshot
and he was faster than me

[valid loom]

This is why I do lost signal missions in meadow mostly

Or wild territory

[celest sparrow]

Recommended to take the entry at Dark Valley as the farthest it will go is the bridge

[celest sparrow]

Dark Valley is like second easiest

Darkscape I mean

[tribal dock]

Thanks. Turns out my guy was in Dark Valley entry point and I circled around from Cordon

[edgy prairie]

this is why i use the KS-23, in under 10 shots, they die from it

at first the 4 shots seem limiting, then realise, its an actual powerhouse

just treat it as a hand cannon on steroids

[celest sparrow]

23x75 is best for Giants

[lethal steeple]

can you cancel the ks23's shooting anim into a reload

[edgy prairie]

not that im aware of

[lethal steeple]

because if so then the damage increase from the chimera hunter doesn't matter anymore

[celest sparrow]

How would one do that

[edgy prairie]

but u do have to spam the fire button

[celest sparrow]

Actually curious

[lethal steeple]

mash reload after firing

[edgy prairie]

not sure if anyone else took it

[celest sparrow]

[frank oxide]

I think it's possible with nearly all pump shotguns

[edgy prairie]

the 15% fire rate increase

[celest sparrow]

I have to see this

[frank oxide]

It's more viable with some than others

[lethal steeple]

ye cause it's handled different for tri state reload guns

or surely is

[tribal dock]

[lethal steeple]

i do remember you're not able to reload on non tri state guns if you're still waiting for the gun to cycle

[tribal dock]

I forgor to daddysave

[lethal steeple]

like i.e. you make a gun 1rpm you have to actually wait the minute before it lets you fire again or reload

but maybe it's not the case with tri states?

[celest sparrow]

It went Shoot > Reload > Shoot

Might be doing it wrong, cause I'm a silly billy

what the fuck

[tribal dock]

He was happy to see you

[edgy prairie]

lmfao

[grave vigil]

Would be great if anyone could explain Prof. Kalancha Lore to me

[edgy prairie]

but yeah thats how the spawn in, they rise up

but that jump was probaly cuz of terrain

ive seen one spawn in front of me east of jupiter

[celest sparrow]

Bro was about to hit a 360 noscop trickshot on me

[edgy prairie]

more like grab

[frank oxide]

Oh this happened to you too

[celest sparrow]

No way this happens often

[frank oxide]

I was like whaaaaa on my last MM run

[celest sparrow]

Holy shit fuck Sin

[lethal steeple]

mf hit a bullet jump

[edgy prairie]

rocket jump

[ripe lagoon]

I think it's bound to engine class, so you can skip anim on guns like bas k98 with detachable mag too

[lethal steeple]

would have to look inside the source code for more info

but it makes sense to me

[celest sparrow]

How do people struggle with ladders

[vague stag]

Hey yall, is it possible to repair the Oasis arty? From what I understand only with duplicates? So, guess I'll need to craft a second one?

[edgy prairie]

get 99% of previous arte

before combining

applies to all artefacts as sub ingredients

[vague stag]

Sweet, the Oasis I picked up from it's location so I didn't craft this initial one I have

[edgy prairie]

in that case

combine 2 70% ones

into a 70% oasis

then empower

actually

get this

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1345570393548652644

[vague stag]

Ah, Nice containers would be kickass, thanks!

[edgy prairie]

its a qol mod but also is a bit op but eh

[sage schooner]

on its own it just breaks the balance doesnt it

artis are balanced to be used together with the player having to blance the downsides/upsides

[edgy prairie]

it is broken in that sense

but its something i got because i wanted a more comfy all rounder build

whilst i strut throught the zone on hard/survival

[last mesa]

Is the HUD FOV the one that dictates how close/far your gun is while not aiming?

[lethal steeple]

yes

[last mesa]

Right on, thank you

Remove zoom on right-click (ADS):

[warped bay]

Lads, should I leave him to die so I could take his armor?

or is it just some leather jacket

[edgy prairie]

sweet loot

[last mesa]

Is there a check firemode button?

[edgy prairie]

but at the same time, cs guys are cool

[warped bay]

true, theyr'e the cool nerds

well, the guy got up on his own

managed to find a leather jacket from his friend :D

so now my question is, Mosin or Kar?

[edgy prairie]

mosin

for ease of ammo

[steel mauve]

get the check firemode mos

[edgy prairie]

7.92x39 is a weird one

7.62x54 is easier to come by

[warped bay]

but... I'm merc

[steel mauve]

its only a few mm u can jam it in

[last mesa]

Gotcha, thank you

[edgy prairie]

kar98 is also russian

or WP

[steel mauve]

tarkov let's me do it

sure it explodes

but still

[warped bay]

it's German

shouldn't that not count as WP?

[steel mauve]

depends on time created

it was ww2 right?

[edgy prairie]

ur right

doesnt change that nato doesnt sell ammo for it

[warped bay]

ye

[warped bay]

wait, really?

[edgy prairie]

havent seen it

i live in AW

[warped bay]

duly noted then

I'll be living in AW after all

[celest sparrow]

Both NATO and WP sell it

[edgy prairie]

oh wut im blind

[warped bay]

lols

might wanna get yourself the auto favorite ammo mod

[edgy prairie]

ok in that case

kar98 is the way to go

gonna be honest tho

snipers early game have no real usage

outside of maybe the starter weapons

like, i used an AK as a DMR

[grave vigil]

Hey so the animations for ammo check aren't showing up is because I enabled mags mid play through

???

[warped bay]

it took me 3 tries to take Pump station

with a shotgun

so I thought, "Nahh, I needa get a long range gun"

[warped bay]

afaik, not all guns have ammo check animation

[edgy prairie]

think my first ever AK was the 74M venom

[grave vigil]

Which ones do

Let me check them

[edgy prairie]

slapped the pso scope and bam, long range

[warped bay]

try pistols

[grave vigil]

Ok

[warped bay]

I think the makarov has it

[warped bay]

ain't that just mid?

[edgy prairie]

so technically, u could use say the ADAR as a DMR

[edgy prairie]

effective range up to 1KM

[warped bay]

I actually tried using the SG550 as a DMR on my previous run

I slapped that one 24x scope on the gun

[edgy prairie]

ADAR is decent middle ground cuz its B type

and can be found early and repaired easily

[warped bay]

wait, how do you even measure distance?

[edgy prairie]

i do it in my head

[warped bay]

dem

[edgy prairie]

i use to be a tarkov player

so i had to guess the distance and zero in

this was wayyy before range finders too

put it this way, my farthest kill in gamma is 500m

this was from the jupiter crater, all the way to cement thats NE of the map

[warped bay]

my god

[edgy prairie]

u know that place that always has a guy up top

[warped bay]

what gun?

[edgy prairie]

at cement

SR-25

[warped bay]

eh, nah... I never went to cement

[edgy prairie]

couldve done it with my AK

[warped bay]

oh wait

[edgy prairie]

but didnt do enuf dmg to the bastard

[warped bay]

now I remember

[warped bay]

happened to me when I tried sniping with SG550, not enough damage

[warped bay]

there's SR-25 in gamma???

[edgy prairie]

has been for over 2 years now

[warped bay]

I'm guessing type D?

[edgy prairie]

yup

so if u look at the map

[warped bay]

I guess that explains why I haven't got one

[grave vigil]

@edgy prairie the lone star is decent gun

[edgy prairie]

yeah i killed a bastard in exo from that distance

[warped bay]

hell nah

wait, what's the ammo for it?

[edgy prairie]

.x51 nato

had to use AP

[thin orchid]

also disable "busy hands fix" in mcm > ammo check

[edgy prairie]

was far left of the on edge

[grave vigil]

Thanks didn't know that

[edgy prairie]

was basically just outside of yanov lmfao

"i see you"

a dozen shots later, hes dead

[grave vigil]

Ok it's fixed now thanks dude

🐐

[edgy prairie]

but anywhoo, for early game just use an AR

as a DMR

[warped bay]

I wish

but ARs are type C

[edgy prairie]

or designatted marksmen rifle

[warped bay]

haven't come across any type B AR

[edgy prairie]

adar

[warped bay]

still busy in the swamps rn

[warped bay]

is there any type B/C DMR?

[edgy prairie]

SKS

[warped bay]

eh

if I get the molot, sure

[edgy prairie]

the tactical version exists with a laser

but not sure if that got taken out

[thin orchid]

also the vss

[warped bay]

never seen one

[warped bay]

aw hell nah, another gun I never come across

[edgy prairie]

actually, the moment i got my hands on the AK, was the moment i started hunting for advanced tools, only to get it several hours later

[warped bay]

Ig I really got unlucky on my first runs

[thin orchid]

really? they're not that rare

[warped bay]

I'm just that unlucky man...

[edgy prairie]

before i knew it, i had a DMR and a close range AR i could blast ppl with

in only a few days of gameplay

[warped bay]

been hunting for it since I got the P90

[edgy prairie]

if there was one thing i was really happy about

finding a KS-23

dont remember when, but holy cow it changed everything

because the AP ammo is hilarious

[warped bay]

Since I'll be disguising as CS to easily get around, Ig I should just ditch the merc outfit?

[edgy prairie]

probably should

why its this strong, ill never know

[warped bay]

is the CS exchange guy cold or the trader?

[edgy prairie]

cold maybe

sakharov is eco

[blissful ivy]

"why its this strong, ill never know" my brother in christ its a 23mm fuck you to the face

[warped bay]

gonna wear the broken CS outfit behind him then trade my prime condition merc outfit for a CS outfit

[edgy prairie]

_>

[edgy prairie]

dont forget to do the dance

[blissful ivy]

thats like saying you dont know why a polar bear is so strong

[warped bay]

the what?

[blissful ivy]

THEY LIVE IN THE MOST SHITASS CLIMATE EVER

[edgy prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/russia-communism-gif-26868745

[blissful ivy]

lol

[edgy prairie]

X D

[edgy prairie]

do that behind him whilst ur exchanging

meanwhile cold be like "my stalker senses are tingling"

[warped bay]

kazotsky lol

also, it doesn't work :(

[edgy prairie]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OWE25Go9kSao5-IDOS4ZWkBtLfyEF_hPLJz7QQR2lqY/edit#gid=302497032

[warped bay]

it's there alright

[edgy prairie]

think it has to be in 100%

can't remember

[warped bay]

nah

it can be any

but you'll get the same condition

[edgy prairie]

ah

[warped bay]

probably spore then

so... uh.... only way is noclip mode then?

[edgy prairie]

maybe

i remember having to debug in all the stuff i chose at start of my new run

because i spawned with none of it lol

[warped bay]

got it lols

I initiated the talk before I got discovered

[edgy prairie]

noice

[warped bay]

god bless the X-Ray engine

[edgy prairie]

wonder what happens when u get a loner disguise and start blasting at mercs

[warped bay]

will keep that in mind if I see a merc holding an F2000

[edgy prairie]

u ever seen that one vid of dogs barking only to switch sides

reminds me of that lol

[warped bay]

oh, that one lmao

[steel mauve]

Agro to Rostok in one transition is so nice

[warped bay]

huh, how?

[steel mauve]

Extra Extra level transitions

[edgy prairie]

gimme my yanov to AW guide

[steel mauve]

that existe

[edgy prairie]

as a mod?

last i checked, its only to rostok

otherwise i wouldve picked that a looonng time ago cuz im based there

[steel mauve]

no

its like 12k

[warped bay]

yeah, I went back and forth from AW to Yanov back then through the guide

[edgy prairie]

i meant guide not fast travel system

[warped bay]

quite sure it wouldn't just be 12k with the fast travel system

[edgy prairie]

i mean its 6k to get from AW to yanov

should be the same back

but not a thing... yet

[warped bay]

huh

look at my dumbass realizing I lack a proper source of ammo and scope

I also just realized...

why the fuck did I get a sniper

[edgy prairie]

yeah, one of the main reasons i did say to go with an AR

[warped bay]

I'm going into agroprom underground next

[warped bay]

again, sadly... no ar

[edgy prairie]

for that u can get away with just shotgun

[warped bay]

atm

[warped bay]

yeah

got the m1014 for it

[edgy prairie]

mossberg 590 saved my butt for that place

altho playing on hard/survival wasnt exactly my idea of fun

underground

also, never went through the military base, decided it was just safer to go backwards where i went in. aint dealing with 30+ military buffs

[warped bay]

eh, I always go through the military base

I don't need to fight any of them cuz I just jump over the walls

[edgy prairie]

plus

it saved me the run back and wasting meds

[warped bay]

why delet

[edgy prairie]

info dump

[warped bay]

is there a list of where attachments are sold?

[edgy prairie]

might be, cant recall

[inner sierra]

My run is over

As soon as I get expert tools I receive a message "Some unfriendly looking stalkers came to camp asking around about Sergeant Naebalovo (character name)" and surely enough, a minute later UNISG hit squad consisting of 5 exos came in to wreck my shit

[edgy prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/growtopia-pinata-gif-25606493

whenever i see those come by

[edgy prairie]

loads gun with malicious intent

[inner sierra]

I had my gun loaded

But I didn't expect 5 exos

[thin orchid]

where do you enable those, i never see them so i assume it's disabled somewhere

[edgy prairie]

always expect the worst

its on by default

just a matter of which faction u belong to

[inner sierra]

It's on by default

I assume you need to hit a certain level of goodwill or rank

[edgy prairie]

once had a mono squad out to get me, they all died and i didnt take even a single shot to my armour

[thin orchid]

idk i have hit legend in a few playthroughs already

[edgy prairie]

if ur eco, barely any come after ya

[thin orchid]

and gotten to -3000 with enemy factions

[inner sierra]

Oh but they do

[edgy prairie]

"barely"

playing as a loner tho

every other day i get one

[inner sierra]

I've gotten very unlucky then

[edgy prairie]

free loot for me

[inner sierra]

My AKS failed me

[edgy prairie]

F

[warped bay]

lovely, er... what about the upgrade kits, like, those that change the gun

[warped bay]

thanks

[inner sierra]

The goat

[thin orchid]

also nimble sells most of the attachments/kits in the game

[thin orchid]

these are from #╟🔰☢newbies-chat pins lmao

[warped bay]

most? I thought it's all

[inner sierra]

Still the goat

[warped bay]

ah, lols

I was looking for which chat it's all pinned on

[edgy prairie]

barely spent any time in newbie chat tbh

[inner sierra]

Plus newbie chat is evil

[thin orchid]

idk there were a few that i couldn't seem to find

[edgy prairie]

never had that happenm

[inner sierra]

Also I no longer can place shelves in pripyat to block passage

[edgy prairie]

they'll just phase through

[inner sierra]

Grok took all my cheese

First rf skip

Then furniture cheese

[warped bay]

... Don't tell me I have to go to Nimble for Mauser 98k upgrade

[inner sierra]

It's so over

[inner sierra]

What do you mean?

The forester?

[warm verge]

fuck do the SUP kits do again

[edgy prairie]

enemies drop it upgraded

[inner sierra]

You have to find it upgraded

[edgy prairie]

found in stashes too

[thin orchid]

mdr and shak12

[warm verge]

honest to god i don't ever use them for SHIT

[warped bay]

I swear there used to be an upgrade kit for it

[warped bay]

oh yeah, yeah

[inner sierra]

There's a silencer kit

[warm verge]

7.92 is dogshit eitherway

[inner sierra]

But otherwise you just find it

[warped bay]

I have the normal one

[inner sierra]

Oh you're stuck with it

[warped bay]

ass

[thin orchid]

there might have been, the deer hunter also has an upgrade kit for it but you cant get it, you need to find it already applied

[warped bay]

I just hope its scope is good enough

[edgy prairie]

deer hunter is .338 fed

[inner sierra]

No

[warped bay]

welp

[inner sierra]

It's very doodoo

[warped bay]

that's like... 8k wasted fixing the barrel

[inner sierra]

Just use a Mosin atp

[edgy prairie]

mosin it is looks like

[warped bay]

ig

or just no sniper

[edgy prairie]

u dont need one

[warped bay]

I don't wanna grind southern faction

[warped bay]

true

[edgy prairie]

especially pre BS

[warped bay]

yea... I'll just deal with agroprom first

[edgy prairie]

like just put it in stash for now, get it later

for when u actually need it

[warped bay]

I keep forgetting how early I'm in because I started in the dead city

[inner sierra]

Well now that you MUST go into a frontal assault it seems like a reasonable find

But the amount of monos in and outside BS seems nerfed

[edgy prairie]

i turned my pop setting up a bit to 0.5

so theres more than usual

0.6 just seems a bit too much

found in ZCG via MCM

[inner sierra]

I killed 7 on the hill + 3 snipers and 7 at the camp

And it was at 0.9 population

[edgy prairie]

at BS?

[inner sierra]

And like 12 inside BS

[inner sierra]

Yeah

[edgy prairie]

lmfao

[inner sierra]

It was weird

[edgy prairie]

i had like 20 aholes

inside

on vanilla settings

[thin orchid]

i doubled mine lmao

[inner sierra]

I was packed for ammo for a damn war

But instead I had a tiny shootout at night

[edgy prairie]

i only have that much ammo during barrier defense or when i need to restock

[inner sierra]

Barrier defense is easy

[warped bay]

zombie

I agree

mono? nah

[edgy prairie]

mono yes

https://tenor.com/view/jojo-anime-yes-yes-yes-yeah-its-a-yes-gif-17161748

[warped bay]

is it worth it tho?

[edgy prairie]

the only bs thing is the RPG

[warped bay]

been a long time since the last time I did it

[inner sierra]

Get a sniper, hide behind concrete pipes with only your head sticking out

[edgy prairie]

other than that, its looting time

[inner sierra]

Profit

[edgy prairie]

sniper?

[warped bay]

sniper?

[grave vigil]

What if I made an AK shoot shotgun boolets?? Behold the saiga 12

[edgy prairie]

wut sniper

[inner sierra]

Sniper rifle

[edgy prairie]

loads PKM

[warped bay]

hell nah dude

[inner sierra]

PKM zenith my beloved

[edgy prairie]

come at ME YOU SONS OF BIOTCHES

[warped bay]

I only had an F2000 back then

[edgy prairie]

i had 500 bullets when i started

by the time it ended, 20 bodies laid there

less than 150 spare ammo left

lmfao

[inner sierra]

I remember doing a run with lmgs only and a ppsh as a starting weapon

[edgy prairie]

suffice to say

[inner sierra]

PKM zenith was unobtainable back then due to a bug, I was bummed out and I messaged grok about nimble being a twat

He fixed it in under an hour

[edgy prairie]

barrier defense against mono is hella fun when it rolls around

[edgy prairie]

its still a thing

[inner sierra]

Whah

[edgy prairie]

it happens when u have any parts at 100

on the normal PKM

and nimble doesnt detect it

so i opted to just debug one in, donate the other one

@steel mauve we saw that

[steel mauve]

https://tenor.com/view/breaking-bad-gif-12280691131005323983

i saw nothing

[edgy prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/mass-effect-legion-geth-agree-nod-gif-8578529

[inner sierra]

That's weird. Well I have the script still

[edgy prairie]

after debugging one in

it works

[inner sierra]

Rofls

[edgy prairie]

naturally i paid the 100k

every other gun works fine

[steel mauve]

karleks seem more common now

[edgy prairie]

ii dunno why its like that

fucking brits

i got aB5-m

lmfao

[uncut quarry]

[steel mauve]

ohhh noooo what happened heree

[sage schooner]

is there a mod that makes it so you cant get stashes above dead city/AW line before you turn off the BS?

[frank oxide]

@deep wing yet another thing for to-do

"The Loot Can Wait"

[deep wing]

Actually this is on my todo for Tasks QoL pack

[steel mauve]

garbage isnt real

[deep wing]

The thing in theory is dead simple since all stash spawns are handled through the same function call

But I'm not really sure about it

[frank oxide]

That one tbh is super unnecessary

[deep wing]

IMO it's good to get stashes spawning north even if you can't go there yet

[frank oxide]

It's a lot of work for no good reason

[deep wing]

I think it would be a few minutes

But if it introduces any bugs

[frank oxide]

Especially since you can have access to the north by Day 3
And you can use like Dead City or Army Warehouses to get yellow stashes in Limansk/Red Forest

[deep wing]

It is official "The Loot Can Wait" is cancelled

[steel mauve]

maybe make it less likely that southern tasks give northern stashes and vice versa?

or that southern taks cant give northern stashes

[normal island]

Perfect

More time for CACA development

[grave vigil]

are u serious rn bruh

[grave vigil]

whats that

[steel mauve]

i might give it a shot

anomaly coding shouldnt be that hard i dont think

idek waht language its in

it looks lua-y

[deep wing]

It is Lua

[sage schooner]

it makes getting expert tools a bit too easy, as you can just get them immiedietly post BS without doing any northern missions

[steel mauve]

oh nice lol

[deep wing]

Here's a nice Code Scorcher loadout

[steel mauve]

c++ kills me

[deep wing]

If you don't want to mod the engine then you don't have to touch c++

[steel mauve]

good

[deep wing]

Most stuff can be done through Lua

[deep wing]

#╙🖇mods-making-discussion message start here

[grave vigil]

[steel mauve]

i prefer rust

:3

[grave vigil]

Its the basic the cornerstone

Guess my diplomas were worthless if I can't mod for shit

I might give it a try too

[grave vigil]

Heck rust is a good language too

[steel mauve]

im using it in my projects at college while everyone else is using unity or unreal lol

[grave vigil]

Too bad I never learned other langs except the mainstream ones

[sage schooner]

i think i finally got caught by a bounty squad

2 nosorog and 1 skat military dudes

oh and 1 seva

lmao

i dont even have expert tools yet

[grave vigil]

You will get exo recipe before expert tools most probably

[errant island]

is the multitool gone now? doing my first playthrough in 9.3

[frank oxide]

It's not, you can still craft it, find or buy at technicians
It's used to disassemble guns along with any other item in-game

No longer used to fix any parts

[errant island]

ok, was curious since sid didnt have one @frank oxide thank you

[frank oxide]

Sid isn't a tech so that makes sense

[errant island]

yeah makes sense, just seem to remember always buying one from him

ill reread all the patch notes

yea

Ohh you did

[vital whale]

[steel mauve]

unplayable mod smh

grok pls fix

[sage schooner]

whoever said i will find exo recipe before expert tools i hate you

you cursed my run

[warm verge]

LOL

[vernal anchor]

it's extremely common to find Exo manual before expert tools

because of scorcher

[warm verge]

nope

mostly cause of barrier defense for me

[vernal anchor]

barrier defense is also a good reason

[warm verge]

and not the zombie one

[sage schooner]

got it on the defense yeah

[sage schooner]

you need like lvl 17 scavenging tho

i think

[warm verge]

no

it's a 4% chance overall

[sage schooner]

bruh

[warm verge]

regardless of scav level

[vernal anchor]

no you don't

[sage schooner]

it should be tied to scav lvl and leveling scav should take longer

[vernal anchor]

yes, lets make an already long, grindy modpack even longer and grindier, hard /s

[thin orchid]

oh boy do i have the thing for you
https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1374132887040819361

[sage schooner]

already installed B)

[vernal anchor]

do not get me wrong, i enjoy the grindiness of acquiring guns and armor, but the Exo and Expert Tools grind is bullshit

[sage schooner]

tbh my problem isnt the grind being to short anything

i just cant get enough time to enjoy different upgrades

like getting basic tools feels amazing

then advanced another upgrade

but expert?

by the time you get expert you can either already craft heavy armour or just drag and drop to fix D tier guns

so its fucking useless

and gets skipped even more by getting exo recipe

unrelated but i think the tinkering skill is broken

[vernal anchor]

that's from some shit you added.

[green shale]

ok this is very good to note but then again that's not on our mod lmao

that's rpg stuff

[vernal anchor]

no it's not, i have RPG and it doesn't have the Tinkering skill

[green shale]

oh then prob one of the expanded skill type mods

[vernal anchor]

this is also less of a problem of Expert tools themselves and more of a problem with how LONG it takes to GET expert tools.

you have no time to enjoy expert tools because they take so long to get you've already done everything you can to avoid needing them

[green shale]

because it's entirely RNG.

and that imo is awful

i just wrote half a book about it in my mod thread so i won't repeat more

[vernal anchor]

i LIKE being able to make Advanced Tools, it makes the Advanced Tools grind less awful

but being unable to make Expert Tools in a similar fashion is extremely demoralizing

[sage schooner]

oh yeah my bad

as i love to base in AW i never had any problems with getting advanced tools

[green shale]

it would be better if the north had more npcs you could take tasks from, thus just generally increasing the rate at which you get yellow stashes up there to pull that ~50% chance lever over and over again

[thin orchid]

what if you made the level 3 recipe book limited to northern traders

[green shale]

already true of artis

[thin orchid]

and added a craft to experts

[green shale]

and i don't want to touch crafting as a whole.

[vernal anchor]

unironically i think the biggest problem with most people getting ADVANCED Tools is basing in Rostok cause most of Rostoks yellow stashes end up being in Garbage

[green shale]

only gun repair. otherwise that mod will never finish and it will just be a one way ticket to burnout

both serious and i have plenty of other ideas, but one at a time

[vernal anchor]

god the quest amount drop is so painful up north

[green shale]

?? nothing around rostok can ever drop experts anyway

[vernal anchor]

...i mean advanced

[thin orchid]

well yeah its up to you guys what you are going to implement, i'm just suggesting

[green shale]

yeah, i know, i just draw a very hard line in these things when it comes to project planning

[thin orchid]

yeah very easy to get carried away

[proper drum]

you just roll quantity into quality and getting aw/tc stashes is pretty common

[sage schooner]

progression should be more granular imo:

1. no tools, you can fix some light(er) armours and A tier guns at a vice (finally a reason to use one)
2. basic tools, rest of the light armours and B tier guns
3. advanced tools, medium armours and C tier guns
4. expert tools, Heavy armours and D tier guns
5. X-lab tool kit, Exosuits and G tier guns

(B tier guns would be bolt actions and shotguns, C tier shitty rifles, D tier proper rifles, G tier specialized endgame stuff)
additional note:
-can't drag and drop to fix guns
or
-guns never spawn with a barrel that can be maintained without the proper tools

[vernal anchor]

or

[proper drum]

you still can fix some armors and a respirator at vices just with filed armor kit

[vernal anchor]

you use Expert Tools to Craft an Exo Suit station, which is a PLACABLE WORKBENCH that you use to fix Exosuits

[proper drum]

f.e. mil service suit, light coats, every jacket

[vernal anchor]

think of like the Power Armor station from Fallout 4

[green shale]

there is more or less ALWAYS a "add another tier of tool kit" suggestion in #1092834455300866068 and the reason why that doesn't exist is "it's an enormous fuckoff huge pain in the ass, if you want it, best to make it"

[harsh sandal]

The problem is that progression locked behind maps

So yeah

[proper drum]

sadly when you know how to play gamma optimal way the light armor just do not exist, coz you either die or find advanced and some medium armor

[green shale]

it's the entire reason why i am making shit like the simple ammo display and tougher gun repair, grok ain't doing it cos he's not interested in it, and modding lives and dies by someone making the effort to do the thing

[vernal anchor]

pretty much

[valid loom]

[harsh sandal]

Beside

Unless you are playing invictus, overpreparing is unnecessary

[sage schooner]

oh yeah i forgot one important detail, the toolkits would be rewards from the main quest

[proper drum]

if i play loner i prefer jamming around cordon and swamps and getting gasmask can be good, it's also easy to repair, if you start as a bandit with mosin lets say the first respirator and mil service suit you find got repaired with field armor kit

[vernal anchor]

oh god no

[harsh sandal]

As the game cant be more liner

[sage schooner]

hey its either rng grindfest hell

or railroaded

[vernal anchor]

RNG Grindfest Hell is at least fun when it goes your way

Railroad ALWAYS sucks

[green shale]

i prefer "expensive but sure route" plus "not guaranteed, riskier, faster route"

for progression items especially

[vernal anchor]

Slot Machines suck when you're losing but they are fucking awesome when you're wining

[proper drum]

idk tbh if you play pretty common way the only grinding you meet if you need CERTAIN shit as god forbidden ace / vector / paste your prefered gun/suit here

[vernal anchor]

yea

[green shale]

like i have my hangups about the specifics of how fucking fast you can get an adv kit but the theory of "you can craft it or you can find it" is perfectly fine

[vernal anchor]

paste?

[harsh sandal]

Which it usually doesnt
And you are looking at a person with horrible rng luck

[proper drum]

input/write it down/idk ingrish is hard

[green shale]

and part of the other issue is that the way drops work in gamma have been so obscured behind multiple semi-redundant systems, it's incredibly hard to actually pinpoint rough drop % for a given player, and therefore even harder to balance it

[proper drum]

i'm more mad when with new system i get my golden after 14 tasks having 3-4 white after 7 tasks done

[vernal anchor]

so you just meant paste, i thought it was some strange acronym or something

[green shale]

like. the outfit thing is dependent on which visual model an NPC spawns with, which means the main thing affecting outfit drop chance is really "overall spawn distributions on a per-map basis". Once you get past that, there is the currently-useless-but-theoretically-workable progression outfit drop system. and once you get past THAT, there's the scavenging level deletion script.

[proper drum]

esp when i've played isg no disguise oh god 1st golden after 14 tasks you barely can take

[harsh sandal]

Yeah let make it 50%

[green shale]

and that's why i think it ought to be a scaling chance rather than just constant 50/50 flip after 7th task, but these things are tricker to create

[proper drum]

well i'd agreed on 10 tasks then stash you find is guaranteed golden

[harsh sandal]

Yeah much better

[proper drum]

yeah that should have been scaling chance but now it's rng fiesta

well before you could got experts 15 min in the game

but nerf went way to far

[harsh sandal]

Imagine finishing 14 tasks without any yellow

I wont be mad, will I?

[proper drum]

usually after 7 i take every stash generating task i can, check every body i can, check every pda i can

[lethal steeple]

that's insanely bad luck

[green shale]

it's wild that such a thing is possible though

[lethal steeple]

like beyond the tenth one it's already crazy unlucky

[proper drum]

my PB is 20 tasks no golden

[harsh sandal]

Sadly it did happen

[proper drum]

not first but second, i've got 2nd golden after 28 tasks

[green shale]

like yes it's rare to not flip Heads 3 coinflips in a row. but it isn't impossible, that is the problem

[lethal steeple]

nah brother a 13 streak would make me not want to go outside out of fear of being struck by lighting, a plane, and a meteorite

on the same frame

yes, frame

[harsh sandal]

[lethal steeple]

AND stepping on some dog's wet shit

[proper drum]

when you play at rostok it doesn't feel that bad but playing some faction with limited task amount really makes you desperate

[vernal anchor]

Local Looting is an S tier perk to level in the RPG mod

[lethal steeple]

honestly getting speedrunning out of my system made me really enjoy hobo again in gamma
