[cunning patio]

basically a big mess

[hybrid citrus]

thanks

i really liked that mod

[cunning patio]

you're welcome

a lot of people did

[frail kestrel]

so that is why my game was lagging, it wasnt mags filling up the inventories?

[cunning patio]

mags has extremely little impact on performance

[hybrid citrus]

i wonder how much of a performance impact it has on a high-end cpu though, but, eh, with the other bugs you mentioned, i feel like its better if i just don't re-enable it

[frail kestrel]

oh hey do we have a !update or something command, i may have forgotten what the launcher even actually does

[analog palm]

or just enable it and see for yourself

[cunning patio]

high end cpu or not itwill always reduce fps as it CONSTANTLY does calculations

[cunning patio]

#💽how-to-update

[analog palm]

i disabled it as soon i saw it in game

like

no thanks

i dont want that

[cunning patio]

made things feel more modernized

[frail kestrel]

ubisoftified lol

[cunning patio]

but then I'm like
oh half the time the dots just dont appear cool

[frail kestrel]

thx

[tacit matrix]

Is there a way to lock placed furniture so i dont accidentally pick up all my shelves all the damn time

[frail kestrel]

.. what happens if i am not using the newst launcher and already pressed update, it wont nuke anything will it

[cunning patio]

ok but why would you do that

[frail kestrel]

forgetting theres a new version out

[cunning patio]

wether it will break your game I dont know

but the new launcher makes downloading much faster

[frail kestrel]

guess we will find out

[cunning patio]

about double the speed

[hybrid citrus]

so just update and run the launcher again

[cunning patio]

make sure to backup your saves folder

anomaly -> appdata -> saved games -> copy and paste it up your ass or somewhere safe

[frail kestrel]

was gonna make a new run anyway, does it still wipe settings ?

[cunning patio]

yes

user ltx and mcm values

[frail kestrel]

great

[hybrid citrus]

I also just realized I became the meme I swore on my life to avoid 👉 "gamma users can read and other jokes ... "

[cunning patio]

you did

sorry my friend

[hybrid citrus]

[cunning patio]

hmmm
do I make a healing guide or gun repair guide next

[hybrid citrus]

what kind of guides are you making? for ingame mod or this is something for youtube?

[cunning patio]

youtube (mainly for fun)

though I do have a guide made in #╭📖faq

the latest one is by me and azu

[frail kestrel]

speaking of healing how do i make my yadulin to its job and heal that full body non limb health

currently the 1%/s over several seconds do nothing for me

[cunning patio]

yadulin heals head and torso mainly

ibuprofen is used for legs and arms

yadulin has a passive main hp gain over time but its not worth it to use for htat
use a medkit instead if you want to heal your main hp

[frail kestrel]

medkit so expensive tho
was hoping for a cheap option lol

i know campfires are supposed to do it too but thats not exactly compatible with not being in a base

[cunning patio]

theres campfires around the maps

sometimes out in the wild too

[frail kestrel]

yeah but i dont want to get interrupted in my walkign to the next objective simulator

[cunning patio]

yes medkits are expensive but if you want a pro tip
quicksave -> play blackjack -> if you win quicksave and repeat
-> if you lose load quicksave

[frail kestrel]

lmao at that point just cheat money

[cunning patio]

?????

[frail kestrel]

am i reading wrong

[cunning patio]

so many answers given yet unhappy with each

wtf

either cough up the money

play blackjack

or dont heal at all mate

or use a matchstick and heal at a campfire

fucking hell

[frail kestrel]

never said blackjack wouldnt work idk whats going on

[cunning patio]

then do blackjack

[analog palm]

or simply dont get hit

[frail kestrel]

truly gamma is just first person touhou
just dodge the bullets

[cunning patio]

I mean

yeah

[bleak glacier]

Most games are touhou ripoffs lets be real

[cunning patio]

start recording the animations
recording is in 30 fps

KMS

[bleak glacier]

Naw, it's fine, it'll take more time to download, that's all

[bleak glacier]

Gun repair!

[cunning patio]

gun repair it is

but first we record a smaller video about eating and drug animations

for fun

[bleak glacier]

I recently learned the game and most gun repair guides are outdated, it was confusing being told I could do things that weren't real.

[cunning patio]

actually yeah they are outdated

I had a gun repair guide as well

3 years ago

but delisted it

[quick lava]

You should search for an artefact called Signet. You can find it in gravy anomalies. It speeds up the HP regen near campfire

Huge thing in early game

But it became kinda rare nowadays

In old versions there was much bigger chance to find it literally anywhere

[frail kestrel]

gotta love when convenience is locked behind rng but i like that idea

[cunning patio]

"convinience"

you need like 3 or 4 to notice a substantial difference

between no signet and multiple

go complete a mission to get money and buy a medkit dude

its not that deep

[quick lava]

Nah. 1 is enough

2 is super enough

More is just overkill

[cunning patio]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-more-gif-21856591

[quick lava]

😄

[cunning patio]

ok done with recording all the medical and drug items time to record all foods

[analog palm]

wonder if per-location faction relations could ever work

assuming it's even properly possible in xray

[bleak glacier]

I've found 3-4 and I'm pretty newbie.

Most in the anomaly tunnel in cordon.

I might just be some lucky asshole tho.

[bleak glacier]

Naw, 0 signet, you heal 1% every few seconds, and with one you go up 2 to 4% at a time at the same rate.

Just pop it in the belt when you need it, take it out after, it lasts a long ass time.

[proven raptor]

i think yes

[analog palm]

i know there's a neutral zone mod

makes certain areas like nerd's bunkers neutral

so you can go there as a merc without disguising for example

i forgot what my point was going to be

anyway yeah faction relations are doodoo and boring

needs more spice

[quick lava]

Damn. I will occupy freaking Cordon next playthrough then

But with Redone that area is kinda hardcore because of army guys on the bridge. hehe

But I'll get that artefact ASAP!

[bleak glacier]

It's anecdotal, maybe I just got lucky, idk. But yeah 2-3 signets from that tunnel.

[bleak glacier]

One I got after an anomaly hit.

Emission**

[quick lava]

hehe

[cunning patio]

[quick lava]

oof

[cunning patio]

so many item animations

jesus

I wonder if it will be over 10 minutes long

not many left

[frail kestrel]

is there a fridge that isnt as fucking tall, or can i just disable food spoilage? anywhere i put it just looks ass

[analog palm]

just turn the timer to max

[cunning patio]

fridges tend to be pretty big

[quick lava]

We need a cooler

[sour cedar]

some people take blowouts too seriously

[patent parcel]

just replace the model

[frail kestrel]

thanks.

[scarlet orbit]

Is there a fix for Busy Hands yet at all?

[analog palm]

man

the more i use shotguns the less i want to use anything else

magnum buck rapes anything without strong armor

slugs rape everything else

[mental furnace]

!busyhands

[dawn marten]

@scarlet orbit "Busyhands" is the name of a bug that softlocks your game by preventing you from performing basic game functions, common signs include:

• Broken health HUD (all red)
• Can't do any animated actions (use meds, eat food)
• Crashing on area transition
• Can't open inventory
  Highly recommend turn on 412- Busyhands Detection and Blame - RavenAscendant mod to detect if it is really busy hands, and if so then which script caused it. Also keep it on to prevent further long term busy hands that make you lost a lot of progress. Noted that it can't 100% detect all busy hands, so common sense is still the best way

If you have it, reload an older save. Eventually this may not work anymore, you'll be in permanent busy hands, then it's time to start a new game. Read more here: #╭📖faq message
It is sometimes possible to fix with a full reinstall, make sure to use !delete in https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1012510897136222293

[analog palm]

ugh agroprom is so annoying

have to walk a mile around mil base

might aswell clear it again

have enough ammo i think

[frail kestrel]

anyone have the weapon spreadsheet so i can know if the three random aks i got off of duty are worth keeping or if theres a better one easily obtainable

like the 101 is weird, feels off

[patent parcel]

!sheet

[dawn marten]

@frail kestrel Follow this: #╭📖faq message

[frail kestrel]

thanks

[green shale]

yes, but you can't fix it as a player. the fix is on modders to implement.

[gaunt shuttle]

man i hate searching for lost signals in Truck Cem

especially with baby tier stuff

[inland spade]

lost signal in meadow is nice.

free loot basically

[hushed pier]

Alright a smooth 160 fps on ultrawide, invictus finna be easy on this

[viral marsh]

bro i keep pressing b for pda while playing dayz lmao

this game really ruined me for other games

[gaunt shuttle]

so long as the bodies arnt inside an anomaly

still haven had one in meadows yet

[copper crow]

I forget the meadows even exists.

I think it has...... 2 lootable anomalies?

I can only remember 1. I'm just assuming there's more than that.

[gaunt shuttle]

my older playthroughs of gamma had lost signals there constantly

[analog palm]

tc is the most common for me

never take darkscape ones though

never

[lunar fossil]

TC isnt that bad mostly, just go around the middle forest and you will get it.

Darkscape is.....
Well...
Really long and annoying to deal with + few emission hideouts

Or wild territory is also good

[scenic trench]

no its not
swear its always in the firetunnel recently 😒

[lunar fossil]

Even the fire tunnel isnt that bad, just be quick

[cloud salmon]

tell me if I'm wrong definitely but most busy hands in gamma now is basically on bas right? I remember it had a lot of bugs with that before.

fdda was patched iirc

[green shale]

nope! BH in gamma these days are either "ah this user has a lot of custom mods" or weird edge case combos of game settings + mod settings + specific in-game actions

it's a lot rarer than it was a year or two ago

[cloud salmon]

Interesting. Yea. I haven't really had busyhands much and I run a shit ton of custom mods.. but I'm pretty experienced and I am pretty thoughtful about what I add. The only thing that caused busyhands ever was a revolver shotgun one time which I just got rid of it. Reload animation took 5 years to do anyway lol.

sorry didn't mean to reply

[green shale]

ah it's fine

[fossil yoke]

Has anyone used lossless scaling for the game
I can't make it work

[frank oxide]

#╟🔰☢newbies-chat message < you can try following this, it's a bit out of date but you can just adjust it to the newest settings like frame gen 3.1 and such

[cunning patio]

[oblique reef]

zodium, I miss em already

[cunning patio]

who?

[oblique reef]

made the glowing rock monolith expansion mod, it was ambitious but now that they're inactive its likely not gonna get updated anytime soon

[timber nimbus]

anyone who played trilogy and various other mods
dont you feel like artifacts in gamma completely lost their shine?

from going into anomaly field, in hopes of finding something
then detector makes a noise and starts pointing into certain direction
the feeling of being rewarded: -nice! artifact!
keep/sell/use, whatever

to
artifact? meh, need another 2 to make use of it
rare t3 at 29%? meh, already crafted from t2s at 99% condition
cant even sell for a good profit, need to roll missions

idk it feels hollow

[proven raptor]

i never liked artifacts in any stalker game or mod

[celest sparrow]

This is really just you

[timber nimbus]

guess im stuck in the past

[umbral tulip]

Need a mission?

Mf they are shit

4000k for a rare artifact?

Never selling shit in my life

[timber nimbus]

u need ecologists, 99% condition
pay is good
but simply selling even those perfect artifacts is really wasteful

[analog palm]

Nah I feel similar

Rarely engage with artefacts in gamma

Feels more like a chore than fun

[analog palm]

For the effort it takes to get a 99% artefact early on, the rewards are shit

Like why do all that if I can just give a random dude a controller brain or two

And by the time you get an abundance of em, money just isn't an issue

I leave first day of the run with about 100-200 thousand

And I don't grind much at all

[unique relic]

why do i suddenly have no access to the achievement unlocked- teams?

[celest sparrow]

did you recently update

[unique relic]

yes

[celest sparrow]

yeah it happens

[celest sparrow]

!factions

[dawn marten]

@unique relic To unlock every faction from the beginning, you can type greh/renegades/isg/z when you start a new game in the character creation screen.
Since this sound strange, I literally mean "TYPE WITH YOUR KEYBOARD", you don't have an option where you can type in, like an actual console command.

For example, if you LITERALLY WRITE on your keyboard isg, and then you open the faction menu, you'll see the UNISG icon. Same goes for the other factions.
Another good example, ever played GTA? Do a "GTA cheat" in the character creation screen.

[unique relic]

i got it

[keen bronze]

Literally false, this is a problem that many people have with the system

[atomic pebble]

Falco is a great entity

[celest sparrow]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/888516333568925716/1094730113318408252/ezgif-2-5c8025bf76-1-1.gif

TO BE FAIR it used to be worse

[normal island]

It's certainly dogshit in SoC where most artifacts are literally just litter trash

It loses the novelty on the 20th artifact you stumble in your main path, not even going out of your way to get em

[drifting temple]

Yeah but my five night stars made me invincible

Plus I got the tourist suit from Sid

[atomic pebble]

[near estuary]

yep, that's just how GAMMA works sadly

[near estuary]

this is true though

in SoC they really did feel like random scraps you came upon

and while I'm not a fan of the detector system, I think CoP did it best

[normal island]

SoC might be the worst case of ludonarrative dissonance i've experienced in any game ever

[mild wing]

imo the only big downside of the current system is how rock-paper-scissor it is with only the pelts to properly negate it

[drifting temple]

You did have to do some exploring to get the good ones like the Battery or Shell

[mild wing]

and hunting for pelts or hunting in general is cancer because of:

well sometimes you get lucky and get an empty loot window

[drifting temple]

And then find three of them to heal your suit

[near estuary]

[near estuary]

then again, the artefacts that were in the open were almost always really cheap and not really useful
shit like Moonlight had to be actively searched for

[timber nimbus]

i know
but after hours and hours of feeling hollow ive come very close to just changing spawn condition of all artifact to 100% to finally feel rewarded
it isnt even imbalanced imo
after few days in the zone with 100+ dogshit 29% t1-t2 in the stash it doesnt matter either way

[drifting temple]

I loved the SoC moonlight

Zooming

[near estuary]

https://tenor.com/view/sonic-thumbs-up-the-hedgehog-sonic-the-hedgehog-gif-2828495562840839493

[near estuary]

it isnt even imbalanced imo
dunno about that tho

[celest sparrow]

The only thing I'd change is the Artifact pool in the North to be more rewarding when there's really not much of a reason to Artifact hunt for mostly T2s

[timber nimbus]

i mean...

like
what am i even supposed to do with all this trash? melt together? sell for 50k? roll missions until i get one i need?

[near estuary]

make higher tier shit?

[celest sparrow]

Deadass just fuse and craft better Artifacts

[waxen cloak]

Could always do the knot stuff and use all of them as fuel.

[drifting temple]

Mmm fracture hands turned into artifact goop

[timber nimbus]

what for? once you get t3 recipe u need to craft exactly eleven t3 atrifacts, half for t4s, half to use along with them
thats it
21? t2 artifacts, no more

[near estuary]

you're playing a modpack centered around slow progression

[hybrid karma]

I never ever bother with them despite making invictus runs and missing out on empty or that one other good one

kind of an optional thing,if you love them in the OG trilogy you'd hate them here but still

[normal island]

In game yeah

But all the dialogue and the lore tells you people pay a lot of money even of trash artifacts

And STALKERs often mention how they could be able to retire off of a single good one if they find it

And in game they're literally just EVERYWHERE

[celest sparrow]

In a way I do like how GAMMA implements Artifacts as to increase the longevity of Artifact Hunting as an activity focused around Progression and not merely for Proft (despite you really weren't making a lot of money with Artifacts in the Trilogy)

Working for it instead of instant gratification is rather nice some may agree while others can disagree

[timber nimbus]

i find myself running 4 belt devices + pelt more often than artifacts until and even after BS
just because at the beginning they are worthless
and after BS they are only needed to craft volat
or not, just carry spare bubble on u

artifacts are OP, but hollow

[celest sparrow]

They are definitely not worthless in the beginning

[near estuary]

I think they just mean collector types
of course the old scammer Sidorovich will give you only just enough to survive

[timber nimbus]

how so? that +2% ball res wont really make difference

[hybrid karma]

I never had a thing for them even in the OG games,carry weight stamina boost and thats it lol,made fortune selling them always

[tacit briar]

Dude why does GAMMA look so good now

[near estuary]

doesn't jellyfish give like 10%

[celest sparrow]

Honestly think he doesn't fuse shit

[hybrid karma]

meatchunk wasnt too bad or the stone blood iirc,people use empty (the other one too) for their ironman runs and I understand

[timber nimbus]

repaired yes
good luck rolling 3 of them right away
RNG is RNG

[near estuary]

because the others were useless and took up slots that could be taken by those super useful stamina and weight artefacts

[celest sparrow]

Yeah imagine having to work for something

Even then getting T1s isn't difficult with 0.9.4 since we did change Artifact Hunting to be a lot more consistent

[drifting temple]

I like to munch on the kolobok when I'm bored

[near estuary]

and rolling RNG for pelts and armor parts to craft plates is somehow better?

[celest sparrow]

Yeah you can't even get a good pelt early on until you have reached 2k goodwill

[waxen cloak]

I don't really see how making artefacts spawn at 100% would make them more rewarding, at least past the initial phase where you start with absolutely nothing. If anything, it would exacerbate the issue of having a bunch of them rattling around in your stash after a while, feeling more like common junk than rare, powerful items.

[hybrid karma]

One day I'll have to ditch 15k get that tool and see if its actually will improve my chances on ironman

[near estuary]

100% artefacts work in CoP, not in a modpack centered around making progression super slow

[celest sparrow]

like Artifact Hunting has been streamlined and tweaked to not be painfully rng based as it was during pre 0.9.1
Artifacts spawn based on the Anomaly type which makes it easier to determine which areas you should focus on

[drifting temple]

Bubble

And two goldfishes

All the loot

[celest sparrow]

Most of the modpack is focused around working towards something instead of instant gratification

[sick yoke]

gren barrel gun

[timber nimbus]

my main issue is with t3s
when finally reaching pripyat and finding t3
its dogshit
29%
worse than repaired t2
and t3 recipe is cheap af at ecos, craft full t3 setup within first hour in the north
that t3 with like 1/6 spawn chance at best? worthless, sadly

[sick yoke]

bro does NOT fuse his artis to 99%

[celest sparrow]

that's what I'm saying

[near estuary]

then like
fuse more artefacts?

[celest sparrow]

https://tenor.com/view/peely-fortnite-peely-fortnite-fortnite-dance-brainrot-gif-7459974869028309667

[near estuary]

[cunning patio]

i enjoy hunting them from time to time cuz if you combine 3 for 99% and give it to someone you get paid

[near estuary]

and I don't really have an issue with that

[celest sparrow]

People on their way to ask how to disable the Anti Save Scum mod to spend the next 40 minutes trying to get a green barrel gun instead of using debug

[timber nimbus]

i literally said that its worthless after crafting 11 t3s for t4 or personal use

[cunning patio]

me when I have to actually play the game because linear progression

[sick yoke]

why are you crafting 11 t3s LMAO

[cunning patio]

bro is the artifact whisperer

[drifting temple]

Who the hell is Gres and why are we for his sions

[waxen cloak]

Sure, but I'm not really sure how you would change that. Having the artefacts spawn up north be in higher/full condition would mean you're progressing faster, which is already kind of an issue post-BS. Maybe you could do something where you needed to find a T3 in order to use the recipe to upgrade a 99% T2 into T3, rather than just buying the recipe book? I don't really know.

[near estuary]

so... the progression is too fast or too slow?
cuz idk what you're saying atp

[celest sparrow]

Like I can understand not being able to make a profit out of Artifacts

[mental furnace]

HOW

[celest sparrow]

and not wanting to spend time having to acquire them (unless you are stupid and unable to multitask)

but like GAMMA does it in a way that doesn't really suck and goes in hand with the rest of its mechanics

[cunning patio]

?????????

[timber nimbus]

i dont have any issue with progression, just artifacts not feeling rewarding at all after first few

[cunning patio]

I hand in a tier 2 I get 80 grand

wut?

maybe not from directly selling

[celest sparrow]

But the 28% artifact I found on the ground is poo poo!!!!

[drifting temple]

I liked the Keynesian economics of OGSR hybrid artifacts

[cunning patio]

not my problem skill issue to whoever can't find 2 more

[celest sparrow]

It's more about wanting that instant gratification instead of working for it as it is that way in the Trilogy

[atomic pebble]

I liked the transmutation thingi of OGSR

[celest sparrow]

I also liked the transmutation thing

But I still had a lot of Artifacts stored in Radiophobia 3 cause oh wow more money, wow so useful

[drifting temple]

Although you never really wanted to sell them because of the moolah required

And they were op

Red star my beloved

[celest sparrow]

I overprepared with Hybrid Artifacts that I had fun cruising through CNPP

[drifting temple]

Also the fun troll of the Midas artifact

We should have more of those in stalker tbh

[umbral tulip]

Most of them suck

[drifting temple]

Not every arti from the zone is a miracle

[umbral tulip]

and to keep it ballanced they all have extreme debuffs with them

[timber nimbus]

tbh id rather have extremely rare but fully repaired artifacts than lots of shiny pieces i need at least 3 of the same kind to have meaningful effect

[umbral tulip]

i miss when they had radiation

[sick yoke]

rad was just kind of there

[umbral tulip]

"This artifact literally kills you if you touch it"

[celest sparrow]

It was another layer of management that stopped being an issue once you acquired the appropriate container

[sick yoke]

it existed until you bought 20 llc and could ignore it completely

[celest sparrow]

It was really just there

[umbral tulip]

*holds in hands

[waxen cloak]

Radiation was just a tedious extra step by making you juggle lead boxes. The combat artefacts giving you -health feel like a good enough replacement.

[celest sparrow]

You can easily ignore most negatives as well

[timber nimbus]

imagine all stalker in the zone looting those nearly useless things daily
and being happy selling them for 2k rubles
and even extremely rare ones being just as bad

[drifting temple]

Do you think the night star pointies are squishy like a stress toy cause I do

[umbral tulip]

The artifacts are edible

nobody has evidence to disprove this

[celest sparrow]

almost as if it is not canon and merely changes to fit someone's vision

[timber nimbus]

literally chunk of meat

[sick yoke]

gamma is in fact, fan fiction and not canon

mindblowing i know

[drifting temple]

Stone flower is like a fruit gusher

[celest sparrow]

even then, the Zone being 2018 would have any Artifact that is not a T3 or T4 be heavily devalued and worth nothing

maybe even the T3s would be devalued as well

[drifting temple]

By 2020 we'll have anomaly powered cars

[timber nimbus]

arent arti really good in lore? so good that stalkers literally jump into deadly anomalies to fetch one and sell asap/keep on them all the time?

[drifting temple]

Just shove an Electro into your Prius and you can drive hypothetically forever

[celest sparrow]

just because they are good, doesn't mean they are valuable

and some came with harmful side effects while others really didn't do much

[cunning patio]

@celest sparrow

[sick yoke]

it's a game mechanic

[celest sparrow]

oh wow you can power devices with this doohikey, too bad there's already a bunch of these available so we'll pay you less than they were worth a couple of years ago

[atomic pebble]

WE ALREADY HAVE EM

[celest sparrow]

also yeah trying to make sense of a game mechanic easily deconstructs any logic placed by Stalker because it's really not that good

why don't other Stalkers use Artifacts like we do

[fading plinth]

i thought after CS and the north opening and stuff that the previously extremely valuable artefacts in the south became less valuable cuz people saw what was in the north

[celest sparrow]

Give any Master / Legend stalker 60% Damage Reduction cause they are very experienced and should be using Artifacts

[drifting temple]

I mean it's past 2020 so

[sick yoke]

only 60%? nah

[timber nimbus]

unisg be like

[sick yoke]

all of them should be at 90%

[atomic pebble]

https://tenor.com/view/now-old-man-the-future-is-now-old-man-gif-9677657

[drifting temple]

I'm gonna put a whirligig in my gas tank

[sick yoke]

turn the game into division 2 bullet sponges because uhhhhhhhhhhh gameplay mechanics NEED to have lore explanations!!!

[fading plinth]

itd be funny if someone made a mod like that to see if anyone would actually use them

[timber nimbus]

id try it at least

[drifting temple]

I want a mod that lets you use a night star as a lamp like they said stalkers use it for

Stick one on your broken headlamp

[celest sparrow]

Grok did say he wanted to make the Lamp perkifact as a light source but that's long forgotten in #📎to-do

[kindred meteor]

so when picking out an AR, do you guys take priority on the damage of FMJ and AP bullets for the damage the rifle deals? i cant decide between the AK PMC or a nice M4 I found for endgame

[proven raptor]

how it looks is the biggest priority

[kindred meteor]

yeah i really really like the ak PMC for how decked out it is

sure M4s are cool but this AK is a beast

[quasi lance]

anyone know why the map hud keeps turning off ?

[sick yoke]

just use whatever you like

[onyx raptor]

so, i installed abr for COP, exactly as it says in the install directions, and the games crashing on startup, any ideas?

[kindred meteor]

you might wanna ask that in modded gamma support

[atomic pebble]

u would send the log (?

[sick yoke]

they're playing cop

not gamma

[topaz spire]

Also depends on what factions you're good with, so ammo isn't an issue

[kindred meteor]

https://tenor.com/view/understandable-have-nice-day-have-a-great-day-have-a-good-day-nice-gif-20850110

[onyx raptor]

no log, as its not gamma.

[atomic pebble]

f, check the appdata of the game if u don't checked it.

[onyx raptor]

dont think it has one in my appdata

[atomic pebble]

My recommendation is uninstall ABR and instead install Lex Addon.

[onyx raptor]

not sure tho

[atomic pebble]

The location of CoP appdata is smth like this:

[onyx raptor]

im on enhanced edition

maybe that is why?

[atomic pebble]

in FIRST place HOW u have installed ABR on EE

[onyx raptor]

no clue lmao it just worked

but i assume thats the issue lmaooo

[atomic pebble]

Enhanced Edition is not compatible with the most mods of the OGs because mataboo fucked a single line of code and that

[onyx raptor]

mod did not specify

[onyx raptor]

i see

welp ill just install original version

[odd flint]

any way to make npc in gamma more intense and unpredictable?

[analog palm]

i wish

they're retarded

sometimes they just walk up to me and stare without shooting

other times i can just circle around them and they stand like idiots

[waxen cloak]

There's the RE:DONE Combat AI mod, no clue if it works with GAMMA. I haven't tried it myself, but I think Grok was looking at it earlier this year.

That's the only one I can think of.

[odd flint]

I don't even know how to even try to implement this mod into gamma as I know nothing about gamma modding

[celest sparrow]

It does work

Grok is only waiting for it to be completed before we put it into testing

[waxen cloak]

Oh, neat.

[analog palm]

it's just drag and drop i think

place at bottom of load order

[waxen cloak]

Yeah, should be the same as any other MO2 mod.

[odd flint]

Ok will do thanks guys

[analog palm]

why is m1014 4.13 kilos

[latent elbow]

Because loaded ?

[quick lava]

NO WAY

[analog palm]

it's 4.13 unloaded

in game

[latent elbow]

0.30Kg extra weight ? Dunno then

[radiant sage]

Does the weight even change when it's loaded vs unloaded with other guns?
Because if it doesn't, then it is just the loaded weight of a m1014

[analog palm]

yes

it does

it always has

even in originals

[quick lava]

MAn

It has freaking 10-rnd mag

Sure it does weight more than default M4 Beneli

That has 5-rnd one

Mystery solved

[analog palm]

7 rounder is about 3.8kg

slightly longer tube would only add a few tens of grams

[harsh kraken]

can you stop the install halfway through and continue it later

[analog palm]

also im pretty sure the 5 rounder comes with full length tube

just uses a limiter instead of normal tube for the front half

[analog palm]

no

i think

idk

[harsh kraken]

ah

[latent elbow]

Imagine some polymere parts have been changed/repaired with metal sheets due to the roughness of the Zone

[analog palm]

or i'll simply go into files and fix the weight, as i have done just now

[radiant sage]

I mean frankly it doesn't matter that much?

[analog palm]

yes

[quick lava]

hehe

[latent elbow]

Or that, you may even fix all the problematic weapons weight and give the updated file to Grok for the next update

[quick lava]

#╙🖇mods-making-discussion message
This should be also added to the main game

Uncucked version of XM4

This change I can actually understand. Or giving VSS Vintores full-auto mode back, for example

Like, I understand the idea behind making VSS Vintores semi-auto only, but... ehhh... it's just silly 😄

[latent elbow]

With a 10 rounds mag ?

[analog palm]

yes

[quick lava]

10-rnd mag full of 9x39 that can kill couple heavy comrads

At least couple

If you don't miss much, you can go on killing spree

[analog palm]

i'll use semiauto anyway

[latent elbow]

Full auto with a 10 rounds mag seems silly

[quick lava]

Nah, silly is removing full-auto mode from the weapon just to make VSS fit the C-class 😄

[frank oxide]

Pretty sure the XM4 got cucked so that its the bridge between ADAR and M4A1 in regards to performance and capabilities

It is also the lightest rifle in the entire game at just 2.2KG

[frank oxide]

Who tf used the VSS in D tier when you had 5 other automatic 30 round 9x39s

[analog palm]

is 9a91 a joke to you?!

[latent elbow]

Sometimes you have to cut down through reality for gameplay balance purposes I guess

[quick lava]

Man, there's lots of NPCs that drop you VSS

You can literally find VSS with green barrel EZ

I find it pretty often actually

[frank oxide]

Ohhhh green barrels

Obviously

How could i forget

Lets put the makarov into D tier then

You can always get it with a green barrel right

[quick lava]

lmao

[frank oxide]

That’s not an issue

[quick lava]

Stop

You're going to autistic mode. I'm just saying that this change doesn't serve any actual purpose

[frank oxide]

Green barrels are its own problem (and they are a problem)

[quick lava]

You have it in C-class now

And still almost nobody repair it

You have much better options on C-class

[frank oxide]

You can tho
Its there
Its an option

[quick lava]

Let's make it B-class and reduce fire rate to 50 BPM

[frank oxide]

9x39 is baby mode kill anyone caliber

[quick lava]

Why not?

[ashen stag]

gamma is singleplayer lol you use what you want

[quick lava]

haha

[ashen stag]

i skip the VSS because i dont like 9x39 personally

some people love 9x39

just play how you want

if you have an issue

[frank oxide]

I like the gun, i dislike the new reload anims

[ashen stag]

[latent elbow]

Wow wow wow so no meta in a single player game

[ashen stag]

for reals

[frank oxide]

I stopped using 9a the moment it got that stiff ass reload

[analog palm]

unloaded, 9a91 is 1.8kg 9x39, sr3m is 2kg

yeah it's a bit too calm and smooth

sr3m is the cutie

to me its absolutely beautiful and sexy but i get it

Its a bit slow compared to all of BaS fast reloads

They’re „better” than the vanilla anomaly anims that were in gamma before but yea very slow

Not that i like super quick tacticool anims

But a bit faster would be neat

[stiff wyvern]

we should report gamma for drug use promotion

there is literally no downsides for using fent and cocaine and other substances

[cunning patio]

do I do a monolith ironman with campfire saving

[stiff wyvern]

no need for campfires on ironman

[cunning patio]

?

[stiff wyvern]

if you die you die anyway, at least thats my thinking

i always disable campfire saving in ironman

[vagrant crown]

some people pause the game before dying and then reload the save

[cunning patio]

ok but

[mental furnace]

me

[cunning patio]

you do realize that

you can have multiple lives in ironman

(I'm not doing invictus)

[stiff wyvern]

whats the point of playing ironman then

i mean if you pause - load

[frank oxide]

i mean.... based and valid

but the point still stands

[cunning patio]

it still makes you careful if you have 1 live left or two
anything can happen in the zone

its how i like to play

[vagrant crown]

yeah monolith run with ironman sounds nice, i will try it after i finish my loner run

i dont play gamma since like 2024 and the modpack improved a lot

looks really nice

[cunning patio]

I'll think about the campfire saves

[stiff wyvern]

less crashes, less lags, at least thats my experience

[cunning patio]

campfire saving has NOTHING to do with crashes or lagging

[vagrant crown]

exactly lol

[mental furnace]

[cunning patio]

his experience is placebo

[stiff wyvern]

f5 certainly was way faster after i disabled yacs

and transitions crashed less often i think, unless its fucking jupiter

jupiter is like a 50/50

[analog palm]

i dont think i've ever had a crash specifically at level changes

[vagrant crown]

me too

[stiff wyvern]

weird, might be my botched installation idk

[cunning patio]

crashes due to transitions are because of this

I wont say anything else because

How is isg legal

[quick lava]

I thought Clear Sky are more about destroying the Zone. Ye, science stuff and research, but destroying it is the way

[cunning patio]

gamma made my entire streamlabs crash holy shit

[idle kelp]

The compass implies they aren't strictly legal in the zone, but they're not just random anarchists strotting around killing people. They've been sent in on a presumably approved operation by an international organization.

[analog palm]

did you forget the UN part in UNISG

what creep said

[humble saffron]

they’re illegal by ukraine standards if the ssu shoots them

[idle kelp]

I don't think Ukrainian law matters in the zone. ISG is meant to leave no witnesses. Wouldn't count the military as a bastion of law in the zone either, they're barely less corrupt than local thugs

[small ermine]

Cs being more lawful than loners is kinda wild

[idle kelp]

How so?

[proven raptor]

the military being corrupt?? nahh

impossible

that would never happen irl

right?

[humble saffron]

so how are we defining legal then

[radiant sage]

"sanctioned" "unsanctioned"

[idle kelp]

That's a better way to put it than whatever I had

ISG, Military and Ecologists are all sanctioned by outside governments, and I guess mercs operate on a somewhat legal basis according to GAMMA lore, judging by the lore blurb that the gun trading ban is enforced by the threat of sending in more PMCs into the zone.

[small ermine]

Isg is an undercover op from a foreign country to the military
They could just be an invading force given number of them

[analog palm]

and mercs have that mysterious contract, judging by amount of money they can offer, i have no doubt they'd be able to pull some strings with govt to let mercs go around somewhat freely

so they're, like, illegally legal

[small ermine]

Given how often they target the government
I doubt that

[quick lava]

Damn. Time to uncuck MREs in the game. Imagine having thirst debuffs on MRE... that has drinks in it. Also the cost is just insane comparing to other food

[proven raptor]

mres are still the most cost effective food items in gamma

and weight effective

[quick lava]

Maybe it's true to russian and ukrainian MREs, but USA one looks not so good

[idle kelp]

Invading forces are nonetheless sanctioned (by their own government) so I guess it still counts!

[idle kelp]

I can't remember having a drink in the MREs I've eaten. You generally had to add water seperately.

I still probably have a few packets of powdered fruity drinks lying around somewhere, and they definitely require water

[small ermine]

Fair enough

[analog palm]

having any significant quantity of liquid in MRE is a massive waste of space, weight, and shelf-life

and most of MRE stuff is dry as hell

it'll dehydrate you unless you drink something separately

[quick lava]

Description says that it has few drinks in it. Tea, juice, powder and stuff

[proven raptor]

weak cap*talist am*rican mre just cannot compete

[quick lava]

🤣

[analog palm]

yeah, those arent liquid

they just tea and power

you have to add water yourself

[idle kelp]

The instant coffee and instant fruity drinks are not liquid I can assure you of that much

[quick lava]

Yeah, you right

[analog palm]

https://youtu.be/2_6zGcy7B9A?si=toACsRVP-dS4Dl6o

oof. Now I get it

The more you know...

[small ermine]

Powder chicken

[analog palm]

this one of few that have actual cheese in it

[radiant sage]

I don't actually know if our military has proper MREs

I know we have those emergency cookers and canned goods.
As well as commercially available "MRE"s

[analog palm]

cool thing is i've eaten most of the product shown in this at some point

they're just normal store-bought stuff

Ironman monolith is a go

apart from my stream app crashing it feels so much weird to play mono compared to other factions

if it moves and its not mono you shoot it

Idk, man. I'm playing like this as Freedom/Merc guy

I just don't believe in some rock in someone's basement

[cunning patio]

neither do I

but i dont play monolith due to the fucking cock granter

its just a different faction to try out

[vagrant crown]

yeah, its really difficult and at the same time rewarding

[analog palm]

see stuff

murder stuff

get rich

sounds easy idk

[vagrant crown]

everybody hates you but at the same time you can kill everyone and thats a lot of loot

[vagrant crown]

maybe the problem is the lack of traders and maybe quests

Would be awesome if when you conquer someone's faction base, Monolith guys will come in few days and claim the territory. And, ofc, with traders and shit

that's just warfare mode

[quick lava]

Maybe I'd start playing as Mono boi then

[analog palm]

sadly completely neglected in gamma

[quick lava]

You can see smth like this happen if you play with REDONE

You just don't get traders and stuff when your faction comes to that conquered base

Sadly

[latent cairn]

did i miss any?

[analog palm]

you get that with warfare

[quick lava]

But, well, it's not compatible with GAMMA like you said 😄

We need an addon like this for REDONE and we're golden

If only I could code things...

[native spindle]

what do you even do in the "stalker needs a bounty taken off his head missions?"

[analog palm]

kill whoever placed the bounty

shrimple

[native spindle]

must be bugged or something its only showing me a marker on him, the guy i took the mission from

[quick lava]

Time to say goodbye to that buddy then

Complete his task

[native spindle]

imagine him placing a bounty on his own head

[quick lava]

😄

[native spindle]

its clear sky, i aint killing him they are aaight

[quick lava]

GAMMA moment. I remember when you could take the bounty on some guy from Barman in Rostok and also take the quest 'Ally among enemy' or whatever it called there from leader of Duty. So you literally taking the bounty on Duty guy in disguise

hehe

[analog palm]

...you're supposed to rescue that one

he's a spy

[quick lava]

Yeah, this is an issue. You're taking a bounty on Duty's spy

[analog palm]

oh

what are chances of that

[quick lava]

But now you can't take these quests together. That's awesome

[quick lava]

It happened all the time to me

Until I realised that if this resque quest is active, Barman will give you quest to kill that spy with 100% chance

[lethal steeple]

fuck was i tagged for sister

[native spindle]

wow that motherfucker didnt place a bounty on his own head, it was his fucking squad mate, litteraly 3 clearsky walking in a squad and one game me the mission to kill his friend and then he gets mad

Juicy map...

To be killed by Chimera boi

[native spindle]

day 3 of the new save, 2 chimeras. i have a 9.18 pistol and 10 buchshots

[quick lava]

hahah

That's called 'LUCKY'

But when you actually need those fuckers to appear to farm some chimera skin, they will just go away from TC

[native spindle]

yeah so real

[analog palm]

what

why do you have 9x18 pistol on day 3

brother what the fuck

day 3 is fucking brain scorcher time

[native spindle]

cuz i fucked up on start i didnt see its 918 on the start and im like 1000 off of buying the repair kit

cant find tools

[analog palm]

ok but day 3

tools i can understand, rng is ass

though you could've done clear sky quests for gunsmith tools

[native spindle]

i didnt know that exists not gonan lie

[analog palm]

clear sky start is goated for that

doing spore's special assignment to get the anomaly scanner

then take bunch of quests to hunt mutants

and then to cold for pump station, road to cordon, and machine yard

brings you up to around 400 standing with CS and gives very good loot from military on machine yard

do some more fetch tasks with the mutant parts you got, 500 standing easy, sleep to refresh traders, get ammo

[native spindle]

i mean im playing to dick around not really get as op as possible

[analog palm]

that's fine

but being on 3rd day, struggling with money, ammo, and still using a (i assume) a starter 9x18 pistol?

that's some major dicking around

[native spindle]

real, idk why i didnt take the 045

[analog palm]

i mean i had decent weapon and supply of ammo by end of day one on the run without quests and traders

had to run around locations to search for tools, but besides that it went pretty normally

[analog palm]

take a smg

9x18 or 9x19 doesnt matter

then find a shotgun as soon as you can

shotguns are one type of guns you can reliably run without gunsmithing kit

and handle everything in south easily

[native spindle]

i do have a shotgun and the auto pistol i just didnt bring enough ammo for multiple chimeras

[analog palm]

why not

[native spindle]

i didnt expect multiple chimeras on like day 3

[analog palm]

yes but why not take all the ammo anyway?

[humble saffron]

do you want premium dicking around

[analog palm]

get buckshot from butcher, dirt cheap

[humble saffron]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/crysis-nanosuit

this is op dicking around

[analog palm]

personally i always fill on slugs and buck whenever i visit a trader

full stacks of both

kinda costly i guess, 20k for one resupply on average

but it pays for itself with how much you can do with it

[vivid ridge]

[blazing pond]

"Free Stalkers and Mercenaries have called a ceasefire?"
Did that always happen after Brain Scorcher? Gotta admit I don't know if I've ever been this far on a Merc playthrough

[proven raptor]

yes

if you are a merc you get a ceasefire with loners after disabling the scorcher

[blazing pond]

That's sick - I'll be able to get some Warsaw Pact stuff

I was planning on getting my Bandit goodwill up but Loners seem like a better option

With one caveat - I'm on -600 now

[mild wing]

nah bandits are unmatched because of DV tasks

[proven raptor]

you're fine as long as it's not -1000

[blazing pond]

DV is not North so I'll probably won't be coming down there in a while

I also don't really like that side of the map in general. Darkscape, Dark Valley and Truck Cemetary

[mild wing]

it's primarily an early game money printer

and TC is great for farming stronger mutants

and we don't talk about Darkscape

[blazing pond]

I guess so. I was lucky enough to get a pseudogiant hide quite early

[blazing pond]

I was just saying it's gonna take a while to build up

[pliant kestrel]

oi mates, do yall know where the mod organizer icon is?

[mild wing]

\GAMMA\Grok's Modpack Installer\G.A.M.M.A\modpack_data

[pliant kestrel]

thx

[blazing pond]

I can't wait to get my hands on expert tools. I am eager to try out the new revolver. It looks stupidly big and I love it

[proven raptor]

(it's bad)

[blazing pond]

How can it be bad if it's literally shooting rifle ammo out of a pistol?

[proven raptor]

you'll see

[mild wing]

it would've been a lot cooler if it shredded mutants like .357 guns

[blazing pond]

Anyway if it's fun I don't care how bad it ends up being

[blazing pond]

Does it not? I thought it had similar damage but I may be mistaken

I remember being quite impressed at the penetration of AP ammo

But if it's rifle ammo it probably does not have as much damage, huh?

[mild wing]

it's literally a russian .50 cal

but it falls short compared to the other "heavy" ammo types

[blazing pond]

I believe you

But I'm still gonna try to make it work

[mild wing]

you should be fine as long as you stick to AP ammo

[blazing pond]

By the way if we're talking about shredding mutants

The KS-23 is so nice

But I was quite impressed by the Mono killing capacity of the slugs as well during my Brain Scorcher run just now

It was quite a nice backup for when my G36 ran out of ammo

Literally the only downside I see of this gun is 4 bullet capacity

[mild wing]

oh no you woke up the chief slug propagandist

[analog palm]

try normal 12g slugs

ks23 is not actually that great for anti-stalker purposes

[blazing pond]

That may be true but it was never supposed to - I brought these as backup but the reason I took the shotgun at all was for mutants

[analog palm]

my primary is a tube shotgun

my secondary is a pkm

[blazing pond]

Seems like you're having fun your own way

[analog palm]

slugs are just so hassle-free that i cant stand using anything else

anything under nosorog level is just 2, sometimes 3 tap

most are 1 tap

[blazing pond]

I have a bit of a skill issue so I like having 30 round mags

For when I don't headshot on my first hit

Hey guys! anybody got any experience with DoctorX call of the zone? is it worth playing?

[proven raptor]

no

[regal trellis]

wdym? it is not worth playing in 2025?

[proven raptor]

listen

you're playing a sandbox kind of modpack

for a sandbox kind of "game"

none of the storylines are worth it

they're just excuses to go around places

[hollow wadi]

Also DoctorX isn't the focus of GAMMA, and actually loses you access to the rest of the storylines if "completed" (also crashes your game)

[harsh cloud]

Does the monolith war lab have anything interesting inside?

[stiff wyvern]

does anyone of you know of a setting or mod which enables getting recipes without talking to technicians/traders?

[mild wing]

black road has something like that

i think

let me check because i activated it along with some other mods

[stiff wyvern]

just installed black road revisited

but haven't found any info regarding recipes

[mild wing]

black road has a script called death_items.ltx

looks like this is the one handling the recipes

[stiff wyvern]

much appreciated!

[blazing pond]

In the merc Limansk defence mission do the Monolith ever run out or do they like keep spawning until I go to the other side of the bridge?

[mild wing]

they should keep running at your position

[blazing pond]

Yes but will they eventually stop coming?

[mild wing]

yes, the last wave is expert-master rank

[blazing pond]

Thanks

[harsh kraken]

can you copy your user.ltx and mcm settings from 0.93 to the latest version? i havent played in almost a year

[radiant star]

!backup / this?

[dawn marten]

@harsh kraken
Follow this to "save" your settings and keybinds before updating: #╭📖faq message
And if you want to keep your personal mod list between updates, follow this: #╭📖faq message

[harsh kraken]

i know how to do it im just wondering if theyre compatible with the new update

idk how much changed

settings wise i guess

[radiant star]

user.ltx barely changes

mcm should switch normally

ive never had an issue

0.9.4* if its there

i think it is

0.93 -> 0.9.4

= pre 0.9.4 save fix's

[patent parcel]

yeah this one mb

[harsh kraken]

sweet thanks

[vivid ridge]

I was chilling getting some regen by the fire and my rookie hostage follower got one shot by a DVL from point blank

[harsh cloud]

What supply level could i get the swamp thing

[celest sparrow]

4

[cunning patio]

should i make a vid on the anomaly guitar tracks?

could be good

[radiant star]

do it!

id watch it

[harsh cloud]

What was the command to change goodwill? Gotta check some stuff out

[celest sparrow]

!changegoodwill

[dawn marten]

@harsh cloud Change your goodwill with a faction: #╭📖faq message

[clever salmon]

sometimes i wish i could lay on my bed and play gamma with a controller, however regarded that may seem to some

but with the menus its virtually impossible

man this game is so amazing

how can a modpack for a 20 year old game be so much better than 99% of slop the big companies release in the current year

[patent parcel]

with steam its possible

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyIvrPvzyE8

[proven raptor]

sounds like torture ngl

[patent parcel]

seems possible

i guess only for easy difficulty

[clever salmon]

I'm a weirdo I feel like im cheating if im not on hard/survivalist

[patent parcel]

yeah well gl fighting the AI with controller

[proven raptor]

you are not immune to communal peer pressure

[novel junco]

God forbid you feel like having fun

[alpine cloak]

Is there actually any way to join sin in game before mugging squads ?

Without doing it from char creation screen ?

[novel junco]

no

[alpine cloak]

Alright fair

Interesting progression unlocked

Idk if it was even mugging squads I just assumed it was

It is funny putting on a disguise and then suddenly psydogs agro on you

[dusk vessel]

i play on a wooting so if i could have variable input for wasd would be cool

i only really use it in racing games anyway never gamma

[quasi lance]

huh

anyone knows which mod adds this ?

[atomic pebble]

OMG is https://www.youtube.com/@OLRmod

[green shale]

don't install patches for artigrok if you don't have artigrok. check your Yukiz guns patches.

[quasi lance]

ooh

[quasi lance]

the corpse pile returns

anyone that uses the LEWD munitions mod

how do I acquire htese ?

[twin timber]

Ever since i disabled the brain scorcher

There's a LOT more monolith south now, weird

[radiant star]

thinking of updating right now, what mods were added/disabled?

im 1 behind from the small hotfix that happened recently

[atomic pebble]

Is worth, new mechanics, better A-Life and in general is a fun freeplay, is like CoC 2 and i recommend play it with Mahzra Pack that adds more thingis like mutants and weapons.

[sick yoke]

doctor x is the questline in gamma

doesn't add anything pretty sure

[atomic pebble]

I was thinking that neodream was talking about the mod, not about the addon.

[clever salmon]

I see there are two mods called meatchunks prefetcher in my mo2, which one is the correct one to use?

[harsh kraken]

am i stupid i just loaded a fresh game and my pda screen is blank

batteries are fine

like it still makes sounds but the screen wont turn on

only thing i did was reinstall aydens mods to have autumn trees

how would that affect the pda

[patent parcel]

top one, dont enable anything under gamma disabled

[harsh kraken]

i cannot figure this out ive tried reloading the whole game and theyre still blank

what do i do
