Have a psy break, wake up 10 hours later with your balls more drained than they've ever been. Worth the vivid 4 hour hallucination nightmare tbh.

What have they done to Bingus?

Wait that's a baby chicken ain't it? Hard to tell with the face edits.

[mental furnace]

lootbox mod

[wheat leaf]

I haven't done it yet because I have so much metal scrap from disassembling every weapon I find, but does axing the wooden boxes give you less/worse loot?

[timber flower]

No head it too small or too big

https://i.imgflip.com/9cfigr.gif

[mental furnace]

Nah\

u can only axe big boxes

[timber flower]

Still sticking to the same pfp

[mental furnace]

if u talking about lootbox mod

[wheat leaf]

I am indeed. Only had the option to do it with one of the big wooden military boxes but I just picked it anyway.

[mental furnace]

[wheat leaf]

1. xp for Skills Expansion, and 2) I literally have so many lockpicks it doesn't matter.

I crafted like 130 of 'em.

I had like 9 boxes of various kinds saved up to open all at once because I didn't realize I could craft them until after I finally got a natural lockpick drop from a bandit.

One of the ecologist boxes I opened literally just had a can of beans in it.

7 lockpicks for beans.

I am too lazy to put a hat on my dude.

[mental furnace]

[wheat leaf]

Nice barrel condition, now you just gotta get the other parts off of other stuff. Because good luck getting a Type C kit any time soon if you're still early.

[celest sparrow]

Now shoot yourself with it

[wheat leaf]

Literally building a tolerance to bullets. Thanks, Haruka's Skills.

[mental furnace]

[wheat leaf]

On that note; Nothing is more of a kick in the balls than getting one-shot by a Chimera, and having 'Survival Level Up!' pop up as you crumple.

[mental furnace]

Good dark valley raid

[wheat leaf]

The ShAK-12 is such a rugpull.

Worst user of that caliber.

[celest sparrow]

Just stand by a Controller

[wheat leaf]

Damn, radiation (and noosphere) can do crazy things like make an empty gun still fire.

Must explain why bandits never have any bullets when I loot them despite them firing 5 billion at me.

[mental furnace]

[molten sparrow]

Hahaha thank you

[wheat leaf]

Aha, I see that Kalancha's chair is still a fuckin' heart attack machine.

Man it’s crazy when you get the tools you were missing and just completely transform your loadout

Pick apart my scrap heap of random bits and throw together an assault rifle just because

No ammo? No problem just bash out 200 rounds on the workbench

[brazen dove]

yall i got a question about ram, I have 32 gigs of ram but my task managaer says only around 15-16 gigs are available white theres another statistic stating that 19.9/33.9 gigs of ram are committed, what does this mean? is my pc not utilizing all of my ram?

[normal sparrow]

available as in free to use

not total

[mental furnace]

[brazen dove]

so how would i increase the amount free to use?

[normal sparrow]

Close Programs using it

[idle kelp]

Don't worry too much about RAM being in use though. Idle RAM is wasted RAM, so your PC will happily burn it on pointless things if it's not needed, and will free it up if you actually do things that require it.

JOLLY GHOST WITH A HAT?

[opaque moss]

[timber flower]

Been waiting in that folder for a year

[opaque moss]

do you happen to have the original too

i lost it

[timber flower]

Same situation from last year

[radiant star]

[mental furnace]

[vapid cobalt]

spent a few hours installing gamma and it dont work

end me god

[robust lichen]

I remember the first time I went to agroprom I saw some guy in the distance literally frolicking between two hills. I thought it was weird before I found out it was a controller, and you can guess how I found that out as I was standing in the middle of a field with no cover.

[mental furnace]

i need more wood to build base

[iron atlas]

is this project inverno guide on !snow still ok to use?

[latent turret]

do those panels actually stop mutants?

[celest sparrow]

why wouldnt it be

[mental furnace]

they stop bullets and thats good enough for me

also npcs too

[iron atlas]

ok ty.

[mental furnace]

because there is invisible ladder for npcs and mutants which lead to 2 floor and i fend it off so now they stuck in walls

[lethal steeple]

i was afraid i didn't back up the recoil mod 2 indev script when i wiped the pc yesterday but it's there

crisis averted

[mental furnace]

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1258234075819544768 this one?

[lethal steeple]

that's 1.1

.1

[mental furnace]

[lethal steeple]

this was the latest thing i did in it

if you've played with the mod you'll notice right away that the camera doesn't pull back down on its own after you stop shooting

that was the sole thing that made me consider calling it 2.0 and not 1.2

[mental furnace]

[lethal steeple]

and that shit took me so unfathomably long to figure out considering how simple the workaround was

it was like a year of going 50/50 on "it might be possible with different camera animations" and "it's just not possible"

turns out the animations weren't the solution as the camera just snapped back to the starting position once it ended

so what i did was just get the camera orientation at the peak of the animation, forcibly stop it, and then force the camera to snap to that stored orientation

[brazen herald]

whats your ZCP setting? mutant/staler population factor? i turned it to zero now I have nothing going on in the zone so I want to bring it back to default (just not sure if 0.5 is default... as i click default... but feels wrong, just double checking with u guys)

[mental furnace]

nice

[mental furnace]

if u pc can handle it crank both to 1.0

or to 0.7

[latent cairn]

exactly how often is gamma meant to crash

i wanna know if im above average or not

[olive ingot]

Guys, is this a bug or a feature?

Every time I disassemble ammo I get the full stack back. I can disassemble one 9x19 and get 15 pistol bullets and 15 casings. Basically, I can dupe ammo.

Feels like cheating. All the MCM settings are standard, hard economy.

[olive ingot]

I only crash sometimes during level transitions, never during gameplay

Maybe like 1 in 10 level transitions results in a crash, but it still autosaves

[latent cairn]

yeah level transition is the worst

[molten sparrow]

Crashes more as you go on tbh

I’d always save before crafting / upgrade table

[brazen herald]

so it is 0.5 by default?
thx, I just needed to be sure
Also (perhaps u know) is there a way of checking how many stalkers/mutants are currently in the game or on the map?? Like a console command or smthing?

[molten sparrow]

Sometimes if you hit tilde you can see errors stacking - if you play with quick save it’s a good idea to pop one

[molten sparrow]

Gimme 1 sec to load back in (crashed lmao) and I’ll tell you as im using default rn

[mental furnace]

debug mode

[brazen herald]

i turned ZCP off (as well as bringing those sliders all the way to 0) cause I thought it is to blame for stalkers to randomly spawn 10-20 meters from me. plus i didnt know the standard population factors are... pretty much off in gamma, right?

[brazen herald]

ok, where does it say then? or should i press something? its in the debug menu, right? f7. lemme look

[molten sparrow]

Mutant pop / stalker pop are both 0.5 by default on main tab

Mutant tab
0.55 squad size
0.15 variance

Stalker tab
0.55 squad size
0.1 variance

Just had an artefact literally float into the sky?!?!!?

Then disappear

[mental furnace]

x ray engine moment

[inner heron]

That's normal

I agree its kind of weird, but gamma is hard enough in most areas I don't mind it

[molten sparrow]

I think that’s a self control thing like it’s game breaking but also inconvenient so you’d definitely be in the realm of exploits by shooting 14 bullets and deconstructing 1

[brazen herald]

thx.
spawn random mut/stalk squads ON or OFF?

[molten sparrow]

Both on, though it should default to this if you hit the default button in bottom left?

[brazen herald]

yes, some setting are tweaked by gamma and even with clean install if u click default (for some mods, not saying all of them) u will see gamma settings are not default

So I just wasnt sure

(and prefered gamma tweaks)

[molten sparrow]

Ah gotcha

What’s everyone’s favourite gun sounds
Every now and then I pick something up and that souuuund

[brazen herald]

does autolooter mod even work? is it just me (in my game) it doesnt? its there in MCM, I asigned a key to it, but never works

[waxen cloak]

What key did you assign it? I haven't had any problems with it on Left Alt.

[molten sparrow]

Works fine for me on left alt too

[brazen herald]

thx, guys, thats all i needed to know

[silk swan]

Holy shmoly legend

[brazen herald]

OK. this... is wrong. This cant be normal. I am finding artefacts just laying around, visible as F, glowing in the dark, not even an anomaly or radiation nearby. Its tooooooo often, this cant be normal. Tell me. Is it?

This is perhaps 3rd day and I already have 4 or 5 found like that. Including this zona pact one (knot?). I mention this last one cause I dont know much about artifacts, but this one cant be low tier... is it?

[idle kelp]

They just do that sometimes.

The zone works in mysterious ways.

[brazen herald]

Another thing, just btw: I remember artefacts were radioactive, are they still? I assume I have just low tier ones, right? Will the better type arts be radioactive? Or not? No need for container anyome? In gamma/anomaly?

[sick yoke]

Perkifacts are supposed to be visible without a detector but knot isn’t supposed to spawn

[brazen herald]

thx, i thought so

[idle kelp]

They are not anymore

No containers needed

[brazen herald]

huh. kinda strange.. thx

[wheat leaf]

I am now officially up to 9x39 use.

-# Also broke buying the stuff to fix the gear BUT that's besides the point.

[brazen herald]

ok, another question: weapons degrade in rain, right?

is it enough if I put the weapon away, or doesnt do shit? need to be in backpack or smthin.
?

[celest sparrow]

Doesn't matter since 0.9.3

[brazen herald]

so the mechanic isnt there anymore? rain dont do nothing to weapons?

[mint copper]

real pros are still on 0.9.1

[celest sparrow]

Weapon Condition is fixed to 83%
which Rain only affected Weapon Degradation

[brazen herald]

Got it. Its cause there are only weapon parts durable, not the weapon itself, right? Not anymore.

Tho I did not know its "fixed" at 83

funny why 83, not some other number

[wheat leaf]

Yes only the parts have condition now, everything else related to weapon condition as a whole got changed into recipe fodder and all that matters is cleaning kits/repair kits.

[wheat leaf]

83 likely gives the part degradation speed Grok wanted for balance purposes.

[quasi python]

is there a way to update and still have the mods i added after still installed?

i feel like i should just wait until the major update actually

well its looks like im gonna craft C type repair kit first

[muted iris]

Does anyone know if there are any mods included to help against companion friendly fire? Really tired of all my companions always running straight infront of the enemies and getting in the way of where im shooting. idk how many of them ive killed because they run right into the group of bandits or something right after I throw a grenade or am shooting full auto and they insta die

[celest sparrow]

There's a mod to have companions only get downed instead of killed

[muted iris]

that works too. Ill look for it thank you.

[blissful ivy]

@mental furnace you see this shit?

peak

[mental furnace]

[mental furnace]

how did u repaired heavy armor that fast?

[west wyvern]

How much of gamma do you think I could cut out if I just isolate gameplay and skip over visuals and animations?

[west wyvern]

He be picking up tools from corpses

[last mesa]

What's that gas mask icon and how do I get it?

[mental furnace]

YOOO FINALLY LAST SOLVENT @blissful ivy

[blissful ivy]

little bit of tomfoolery (i set it so legends have a chance to drop a 65% armor)

not like i knew that he was gonna have a really good armor

[blissful ivy]

i dont have any tools that would enable me to repair this

i explained above

[blissful ivy]

you know what the funniest part is?

[west wyvern]

Ewwww

[blissful ivy]

i got all these nice guns and armor, but not a SINGLE FUCKING SLEEPING BAG

[blissful ivy]

ok then, you try black road

then tell me how you feel

[west wyvern]

After I beat gamma a few times or one time

[blissful ivy]

the chances of a 65% armor is so low

its a 1 in 10, on top of killing a legend, on top of the armor actually DROPPING

[west wyvern]

Imagine making the game easier on yourself

[blissful ivy]

thats not exactly easy to get, its just a lucky drop

[last mesa]

Lost signal missions always just throw the bodies in a pile

[blissful ivy]

actively made the game like 5x harder, added one thing for myself, and people get on my ass

unbelieveable

[errant dragon]

isolated aand hated aint built for gamma's progression to begin with 4head, nothing wrong with tweaks for a challenge run

[blissful ivy]

thanks snicks

you the goat

hows your I&H going

I play with one key

And by sound

[blissful ivy]

[west wyvern]

Have you guys seen the guy playing warzone with a flute

[mental furnace]

i just increased stashes drop chances from corpse and thats it

[blissful ivy]

i just thought itd be neat, didnt think it would drop this early tbh

and the only reason i even had the chance to repair it is because another merc dropped a heavy sewing kit a day ago

otherwise id have had no chance at all until one dropped or until i scrounged up enough to make one

honestly, better off than me

id rather have your mts than this skat-9

doesnt help me

[pseudo galleon]

guys where is the secret hip channel ? asking for a friend

[west wyvern]

How bad would black road be on controller?

[mental furnace]

finally i gonna repair good 9x19 smg

[blissful ivy]

it depends how good or bad you are

[pseudo galleon]

Hk MP5 my man

[blissful ivy]

if you can hit head shots on unsuspecting enemies, not too bad

just gotta learn to be sneaky

[mental furnace]

nope

[pseudo galleon]

[blissful ivy]

thats about it, the style of combat in black road is rat mode

[blissful ivy]

what one?

[west wyvern]

Compared to gamma controller

[blissful ivy]

well idk i never played gamma tbh

on controller

i only played on kbm

[west wyvern]

Is it gonna take me another year to bind up the controls?

[blissful ivy]

its just gamma, but you dont get traders, quests, and everyone tries to kill you

[blissful ivy]

no

you just add the mod to gamma

[pseudo galleon]

good i wish the burers jusr disappear they're awful
omw to the wish granter

[blissful ivy]

then boot the game

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1283692011077238797

here

[west wyvern]

It doesn't add a bunch of keybinds?

[blissful ivy]

hmm no

nothing

black road is just gamma, but youre isolated, start with nothing and you cant take quests

because you have -5000 goodwill

with everyone

intentionally

(thats if you turn on isolated and hated in MCM, which i recommend for the full experience)

[mental furnace]

sig mcx

[pseudo galleon]

Not an HK MP5

[mental furnace]

[west wyvern]

Oh
What's the end goal?

[errant dragon]

see how far you can get

[blissful ivy]

probably gonna see if i can do that questline you kill doctor for

idk since it has no traders

it just needs you to go to each lab

so it should work

[mental furnace]

[pseudo galleon]

aww snitch is punished

[blissful ivy]

[blissful ivy]

yep

this is something

[blissful ivy]

[mental furnace]

[blissful ivy]

ive only really used green barrel guns

including an AMB-17

ON DAY ONE

I WAS SO LUCKY

it carried me for 2 days

[mental furnace]

i got C type repair kit before A type

[blissful ivy]

before i started running out of ammo because get this

droon

you ever got those ammo piles

that spawn

and its like 10-20 rounds?

[mental furnace]

yeap

[blissful ivy]

yeah i got that

but SP-6

for my AMB

on day one

which let me use it for another day

[mental furnace]

i got 28 ap ammo for AK which was good

[blissful ivy]

and keep getting silent kills

it was really good

just killed a dude named nikita

no more tarkov

[hexed pelican]

anyone help me with a stash?

[mental furnace]

finally no more bandits shooting and repaired new guns

[hexed pelican]

i checked the toolbox between the two sheds below but its empty

[blissful ivy]

you managed to make all those walls?

[mental furnace]

check it again

[blissful ivy]

i just used planks

because 1 wood scrap, and one fastener for 1 plank is goated

[mental furnace]

cause of bullet spread

[blissful ivy]

nah you see, if youre like me, you just use like 5 planks next to each other

[mental furnace]

[hexed pelican]

me looking at the empty toolbox

[blissful ivy]

since if theyre tight enough together, they dont have a chance to shoot though

i live there btw

if you want to check out my little home

while youre there

[hexed pelican]

oh that's a nice shed

[blissful ivy]

just imaging planks across the doorway

i just climb in and out the roof

its safer

no one gets in, no one gets out

except me

and its emission safe

somehow

[mental furnace]

[blissful ivy]

yeah there you go

its cheap as dirt too

its great early on

thats why i havent bothered changing the planks

[mental furnace]

[blissful ivy]

A BROKEN FLASHLIGHT LETS GO

Is it normal for outfit repair to eat the parts you remove from the suit?

[mental furnace]

also

I put in a few low-quality placeholder parts into a monolith suit so I could repair the 50% ones a bit, for a higher overall suit durability level

And they just keep disappearing

Or break

[blissful ivy]

yeah i know lmao

I GOT MOAR METAL :D

[blissful ivy]

level 7 town hall headass

got that enclosed building

no more wind through mah walls

only my roof...

just need sleeping bag

[indigo bison]

UDP9...?

[west wyvern]

Just rain in your head

[west wyvern]

This shit shouldn't even count as an emission shelter tbh

[vapid cobalt]

what would count

how does an emission work

if theres an open door would that kill you if you stand next to it?

Yoooo I live here too, but in the loft upstairs. I’ll send a pic tomorrow.

[native phoenix]

sv98 vs vssk vykhlop, which one is the better sniper?

sv98 has 7.68x54 ammo which is easy to craft + get but the vssk has a tad more expensive ammo (12.7x55)

[molten sparrow]

Ngl I felt like VSSK was fuckin ass but the last time I used it was 0.93

[native phoenix]

yea imma try the vssk and see if it is good or not, just wasted my only recourses on it lol

[clever canyon]

Vykhlop is pretty good imo, though I like using the SV more because.. is cooler.

[west wyvern]

Svd is best

[woven spindle]

Just lost yet another invictus run to fucking furniture

Organising stash, touches metal container, I explode

[vapid cobalt]

why so many people make bases now

during my run i spent most of my time in jupiter or pripyat at charon’s

and occasionally i’d run down south to punish the infidels

[woven spindle]

There’s nothing else to do tbh

I’d say “I’ll come back to the game once there’s less bugs that kill me” given the fact I almost exclusively die to bugs - but it’s stalker, it’ll always be jank

[vapid cobalt]

stalker is eurojank as always

the fan games are more modified eurojank

in my run the only thing that kept me happy was killing stalkers and marauding through their bases

[woven spindle]

Sometimes I forget I’ve got gamma installed, then I play it for a day or two, die to one of an extensive list of bugs - and I remember why I put the game down

[vapid cobalt]

man im bored — install gamma — play gamma — get banged by all the problems — ragequit

few weeks later

man im bored

[woven spindle]

Months for me tbh

I love the game but I get real fucking annoyed at dying to unfair shit

My last last invictus run ended because I transitioned / spawned into a whirligig

[vapid cobalt]

thats always shit

[woven spindle]

The one before that the game transitioned / spawned me in front of a group of mono exos who insta killed me

[vapid cobalt]

they should make a mod called anomaly heart of chornobyl and instead of transitioning between parts of the zone you walk through the transitions for as long as it takes

[woven spindle]

And the one before that the same happened but with a group of duty

[vapid cobalt]

for example jupiter to pripyat would be you walking down a road in the middle of nowhere for a while before finding your way into the back of an apartment building

[woven spindle]

A neat idea but given the engine it’s probably not possible unfortunately

Anyway, guess I’ll be back in another 6 months

[atomic pebble]

BORING!!!!!!!

[vapid cobalt]

less handholdy

more walky for 20 years

like forrest gump

[atomic pebble]

😴

[vapid cobalt]

map alone would take up 200gb

[atomic pebble]

Id say that a open world level wouldn't take more of 20 GB while don't had 4K models and 4K textures.

[vapid cobalt]

if it was the entire map with no transitions from cordon to generators with everything spawned in itd probably take up a lot of space

[atomic pebble]

Not much imo, max 20 GB if the map additions just are new paths and don't have new locations

Zaton has an weight of +- 600 MB for example, if i remember correctly.

[storm pecan]

ITS YOU!!!!!!

[vapid cobalt]

ancient chats

[pale plank]

what is the weapon inspect key?

i cant find it

[vapid cobalt]

its disabled by a mod

search up inspect

in mo2

[pale plank]

find it thx

[vapid cobalt]

then if u press f twice itll inspect usually

[atomic pebble]

Now i checked the compressed maps of CoC and shouldn't be more of 5 GB or smth

[granite cave]

hey guys is the quest Mirage broken?

[teal turtle]

Goes to loot stashes in the Great Swamp.
Renegade squad blocks my way in from the North-East.
Murder them.
Find PDA.
Psy-storm begins.
Hide in house, look at PDA.

Yeah that's not a bad omen at all.

[granite cave]

lol

anyway i'm stuck on mirage quest the burer didn't spawn in

[west wyvern]

Why not just make the S2 map in anomaly then rework gamma around it

[atomic pebble]

Nah

[west wyvern]

Fair enough

[plain ferry]

what happens if i do?

[atomic pebble]

Let Lost World Mod recreate his own 1:1 zone

[west wyvern]

1 is blind

[west wyvern]

Oh?

[teal turtle]

Out of memory... 1 makes you blind. 2 spawns controllers exclusively.

4 kills you (?)

[west wyvern]

4 buries you in money

[granite cave]

yea my mission bugged out and now i can't fast travel

[west wyvern]

Start walkin

[granite cave]

mission forces you back to the iron forest anomaly where you get the gauss rifle

if you fast travel out of the region you literally fall from the sky

[atomic pebble]

Garbage it's Truck Cemetery, Agroprom has Marsh and Zalesie, Red Forest has Yanov Station, Pripyat has Jupiter Plant and more "faithful" thingis

[west wyvern]

Itd be sick AF if that made it to gamma

[granite cave]

how do i force spawn the mirage quest burer

[west wyvern]

Bruh the hostage is inside an anomaly

[atomic pebble]

I already read people that will like ports to Anomaly these maps

[west wyvern]

He's in the anomaly

[granite cave]

what does the demonized death anim's look like?

[clever canyon]

Uh, they are alright last I tried them.

But may cause you to shoot enemies a couple times more than needed.

[granite cave]

what is the mugging squads in optionals

[blissful ivy]

they show up

demand your money

and if you refuse the squad just guns you down

you cant really fight back

its kinda not fun

[granite cave]

even with nosorog?

[spark spoke]

I never fast travel other than guides. Is that weird?

[granite cave]

no not really

only used the map fast travel cause the mission i started was bugged

to then just break my legs

so had to go back to last save before i went in

[spark spoke]

The constant game of pinball brings me back and forth so much like there’s always something in to turn in or do in the next region

[hollow wadi]

It's still not fun

[analog palm]

Every time I used it they were kinda free loot

Like

They stand out so much, it's easy to just preemptively shoot em

Or get out of dialog range

Just shittier version of bounty squads that got removed imo

[west wyvern]

I found a dupe/ repair glitch:/

[blissful ivy]

great, good for you

i dont want

[west wyvern]

I don't plan on using it it's just making hideout decorations take more brain nlw

[formal wing]

you can craft half of the hideout decorations for cheap/with garbage you find looting anyways

besides it's like real life you're not supposed to move into a pimped out apartment

you move into a little shithole and make it cozy across time

muh realisme...

[west wyvern]

Huh?

No there's a funny dupe glitch with some decorations

I dont wanna do it

By mistake

How bored am I if I make loners mad at me?

[analog palm]

Just disguise

[hard zealot]

Is there a bot command for pc specs to run gamma?

[celest sparrow]

No

Just use discord search

[stray elm]

Does anyone know a mod that adds better bullet impact effects like Hollywood vfx I can’t use it because it creates a blood head explosion effect, looks really bad and annoying I’m assuming someone has to be rocking some mod that does adds more gunsmoke effects

[proven raptor]

i assume you can just install hvfx and remove the unwanted effects

don't know how though

try asking in #╙🖇mods-making-discussion

[naive arrow]

great swamps still fucking sucks balls

[west wyvern]

False

[naive arrow]

kept getting lit up by assholes miles away through tall grass

[west wyvern]

Just don't get shot

Vietnam soldiers managed you can too

[blissful ivy]

ive built a mob grinder

[naive arrow]

where's agent orange when you need it

[blissful ivy]

in stalker

im just in my house

chilling

and they keep coming up to the doorway thats boarded up

poking their face through the wall

make that 4 kills

through the walls

im under fucking siege

[west wyvern]

Start placing ieds

[naive arrow]

I'm just keep on struggling to survive the first days in my hardest diificulty renegade ironman runs

[blissful ivy]

i dont got any

i do have those little mines

besides knowing me id forget about it and kick a mine i place

[scenic trench]

where are you set up?

[flat plover]

I mean they're pretty easy to spot as long as you don't place em in grass.

[blissful ivy]

wild territory

[blissful ivy]

the mines? no

theyre small

the ieds on the other hand

yes i would see them

[flat plover]

I was talking abt the IEDs yeah.

[blissful ivy]

and its WT i walk everywhere thats not got an anomaly on it

this place is a jungle gym of death, and i am the one who kills

like walter white

but not making meth. and (hopefully) not bald

[near estuary]

bro is shocked to be in a wild situation while staying in the wild territory

[blissful ivy]

i mean yeah, but like why are they doing that

are they stupid?

[flat plover]

Genuinely hate wild territory.

[blissful ivy]

i love it here

[flat plover]

Never go there unless needed.

[blissful ivy]

this place is awesome

[near estuary]

they want to smell you

[blissful ivy]

everything about this place is fun

[blissful ivy]

they can smell the 9x21 round im planting in their face

but im fine where i am

[flat plover]

"fun" the 5000 electric anomalys

And the non stop mutants

[blissful ivy]

just got 38 more rounds for my SKS

good stash that was

the only thing i dont like

is the psysucker

that shows up sometimes

hes an annoying little prick

did they buff burers?

ive never had them do anything but attempt to toss shit at me

like a shittier polter

he just deleted like 80% of my health

in one attack

thats some bullshit

[flat plover]

What's your physical attack protection.

Rupture resist I think it is.*

[blissful ivy]

37%

i think its impact

rupture is for mutants

burers is usually impact

but what i think just happened, is he did what butcher tells you about

using your armor

[flat plover]

Impact sorry.*

[blissful ivy]

the weight in the armor to smush you

[flat plover]

Usually higher impact = less DMG.

[blissful ivy]

which would make sense wearing skat-9

but i think its impact res based

but thats the attack i think the burer used

they never used to do that, i swear

always just some tossing shit at you kind of thing

[flat plover]

Cause wearing a norosog usually makes their attacks do like 20% of your HP when they throw smth at you.

[blissful ivy]

oh no he didnt toss shit at me

no he just fucking took my health

no hits

[flat plover]

Huh????

[blissful ivy]

80% from nothing

[flat plover]

What the fuck.

[blissful ivy]

if it had hit me, itd have done like maybe 30% hp

because like i said, skat-9 armor

[flat plover]

I got zero clue then. Honestly might be a bug or smth.

[blissful ivy]

doubt

he did it 2 times

in a row

barely lived

[tranquil apex]

I tried to update the game using my launcher but it failed. I see there is a new launcher, so can I just update using this new launcher or shoud I do a clean install from scratch?

[flat plover]

Ok not a bug then. Gotta be a new attack they've got.

[flat plover]

Launcher is up to date yes?

[tranquil apex]

mine is 6.7

[blissful ivy]

yeah, would love to have known

[flat plover]

Could be wrong but I'm pre sure that's the up to date version. Try the new launcher.

[tranquil apex]

I ll try. If it doesnt work I ll do a clean install

[flat plover]

Like was it near you?

[blissful ivy]

i just lost that save to a fucking shotgun ecologist

he just mag dumped my ass

[blissful ivy]

10 meters or so

maybe more

[flat plover]

The one in the swamps in Yantar? Wearing a SSP?

[blissful ivy]

nope, it was wild territory

still was there

he just showed up

while i was low

then mag dumped me

always some shit like that

[flat plover]

Ah. To be fair, shotgun ecos are usually pretty OP.

[blissful ivy]

feels like im playing dayz at this point

[flat plover]

Don't underestimate em.

[blissful ivy]

finish doing some shit and some dickhead shows up after the fact

then just kills you while youre still recovering

there goes that black road save

so much progress undone in a blink

[flat plover]

Yikes.

[blissful ivy]

whatever, just going to stop playing gamma for 2 days now

i need to not play this rage inducing game for a bit

or i need to quit playing black road for a couple days

thats usually what makes me so annoyed

[jade acorn]

idk if we are still talking about the burer or not but ive experienced the same thing

its like their invisible blast right

and it flattens your health to like 10%

anyway I dont have any answers, only solidarity

[flat plover]

Yeah that's gotta be new.

Grok probs snuck it in.

[jade acorn]

it happened to me like 1 year ago

[flat plover]

Well shit. That's err.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[jade acorn]

who knows man

could just be some multihit bug idk

I know the chimeras used to be able to instantly two tap you

idk if thats still true or not

also this isnt even related but I once lost an invictus run to a tent

I was trying to put it down in a corner and it glitched out and started vibrating all over

then hit me and the impact instantly killed me

[lunar fossil]

I once died because poltergeist threw a small plank on me while I was on stairs.
Which caused me to die instantly.
Luckily I was not playing invictus

[jade acorn]

yeah the physics system is pretty interesting like that

like until it happened I wouldnt have thought that somethig smacking into you would be dangerous

but I guess all the poltergeist does is just throw shit and the damage comes from whatever existing physics simulation there is around objects

in other words, dont stand on boxes if you're playing for invictus

[hasty imp]

when can i slime out dalin

wait im in the wrong chat

mb

[lunar fossil]

Reminds me one thing.

I started my normal playthrough as loner with makarov and tourist jacket, because it makes you feel the gear progression the most.

In the early game I have took "kill mutant task" where it was group of 2 karliks + psysucker.

I got this exact same mutant group twice in a row.

All while I had makarov

[jade acorn]

Ive also gotten that group

idk if this was your experience but they popped in only when I was on top of the location they were supposed to be

so I was instantly surrounded by karliks and a psysucker

[tranquil apex]

rn I am looking at the weapon sheet. There are two sheets for assault rifles one is normal and the other one is listed as 0.9.3, and weapon stats are different. Which one is correct?

[lunar fossil]

There were there already, its just that I have never met such group before

[devout zealot]

guys
do I want to

[idle kelp]

0.9.3 is outdated and relevant only if you're still on the older version of the game

[blissful ivy]

no its not, most of 0.9.3

is still up to date

for weapons

at least

it might be missing the new weapons

and possibly some other shit like that

[idle kelp]

Okay but why would you ever look at 0.9.3 data if you are on 0.9.4

When the updated version is right there in the spreadsheet, the outdated one is considered irrelevant

[blissful ivy]

eh idk why he was asking for the 0.9.3 one

i dont bother with it

i mean i wish i was still on my old 0.9.3.1 installation

but im not, doesnt matter

[last mesa]

How much ammo you got?

[blissful ivy]

at that point in the game, he better have lots

hes clearly in zaton or jupiter

so hes probably fine if he does

[vivid ridge]

ayo found a AA12

[devout zealot]

coming back to safezone, so not much
but it doesn't really matter when there's a stalkers patrol around

[last mesa]

[vivid gorge]

notice any diffrence?

[blissful ivy]

i see nothing changed

[devout zealot]

is this the armor rebalance Grok was talking about

[naive arrow]

what is the faction to play if I don't want my ironman run to be chill but also not too challenging where I can't go to rostok

[vivid gorge]

the well known mercenary faction

i think thats good

[naive arrow]

they are still hostile with duty so no rostok

[vivid gorge]

yes yes

[mint copper]

monolith

[naive arrow]

ah, fuck it, I might just play loners, I been playing renegades and I kept dying in the first day for 10 runs straight now

[mint copper]

just kill the infidels, then you can walk into rostock just fine

or wear disguise

[naive arrow]

it's ironman run on hardest difficulty and on a mid pc

[mint copper]

monolith warfare is only run that matters

[naive arrow]

nah

I hate monoliths

[naive arrow]

not skill related, I just hate brainwashed drones

[analog palm]

Skill issue

[flat plover]

Military.

[devout zealot]

first UNISG looted this run

[remote escarp]

how long for traders to reset? im hunting this one gun part and cannot find any good condition ones

[flat plover]

Usually 24H in-game.

Or 48H? Can't remember.

Theres settings for it in the ZCP menu.

[green shale]

it's half of whatever the setting says in the difficulty menu, so 24h by default on scavenger/survivalist

it's not in zcp, it's regular settings > progression difficulty

[frail kestrel]

does the newest gamma verson have way better gun drops than previously? i swear you used to not get fully functinal svds within an hour of playing

[left hatch]

No this is Proton
Figured I might as well try it since I got it going for the funny italian man

[normal island]

Not really

Since that's kinda the point of the modpack

[dull warren]

i think ur just lucky

[devout zealot]

HELLO?!

[mild wing]

he just wants a drink, leave him alone

[proven raptor]

i have a crackhead theory as to why this happens sometimes

so back in call of pripyat skadovsk was a spawnpoint for both loners and bandits since it was a neutral territory

and maybe all these years later in anomaly it still remains a spawn point not only for loners but also for other folks

like mutants or sinners

[devout zealot]

sir he's harrassing customers and making a mess, but security does nothing

[normal sparrow]

He needs to copy my loadout

[mild wing]

it's definitely a target for alife squads

[devout zealot]

eepy bois

[analog palm]

eat them

[harsh sandal]

[agile mesa]

he thought it was a freedom bar

[chrome hornet]

Clear sky sells the Mauser upgrade kit right? I can't find one but I'm only 1900 with cs so thats probably why

[reef lagoon]

pain of no english speaking pepole in vc

[humble saffron]

no its because of GAMMA's buggy alife optimizations lmao

the smart has no capacity to spawn mutants because its not specified to be a mutant spawner

gamma like generalizes squad locations when ur far away and consequently this can happen

often it results in monolith being inside the skadovsk

[proven raptor]

but why only skadovsk is affected by it then

[humble saffron]

because there are mutant smarts near to it

[vivid ridge]

couple questions
is there a mod that adds more exciting gun effects like bigger flashes and tracers/smoke trails for bullets
what's the process of enabling gear at merchants again and how do i turn it on for forsty's weapon pack too

[proven raptor]

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1037762368131825805

just so you know it's not performance friendly at all

[vivid ridge]

so no mod that just adds only muzzle flash and tracers?
what about enabling guns in stores

[blissful ivy]

Black market mod

In MO2

Use the search function

[vivid ridge]

just turn it on? nothing to disable or config?

[proven raptor]

there was one a year ago but the devs decided to move to anomaly custom and took down their mod from moddb

bastards

[teal turtle]

I just had a disturbing encounter at the Flea Market...

I'm coming back into Garbage from Dark Valley. I run into some Dutiers running a checkpoint who, after a few seconds, start to run. I run with them out of instinct and a Psy-storm begins. I hide in the bunker of the Flea Market when a firefight erupts outside. It was the Military. The Clear Skyian who was with me goes by the door and blocks a Soldat from coming in which I kill. Shooting continues. Eventually, because that Clear Skyian wasn't protected, I saw him turn into a zombified and had to shoot him Went outside to find a lot more zombifieds being shot by STALKERs and Dutiers who did seek cover.

I have never actually seen a Psy-storm turn someone into a zombified before... that shit was kinda cool.

yeap

[stray adder]

Anyone got any good ways of obtaining plastic jars for crafting purposes?

[gaunt agate]

Stashes and stalkers

Or in boxes and what not

[pale plank]

I want to play the game on the hardest difficulty. Do I need to adjust the settings in MCM? I've played for a few hours, but the loot didn't feel like a hard difficulty game.

[flint crag]

just try hard/hard like that

the game isnt very hard its just a matter of knowing what to do

knowledge curve

[pale plank]

well i finished one time easy/easy

for now i want to play hardest possible

[flint crag]

then just try hard/hard. and if you want you can also play iron man which gives you limited lives (if you die too many times save deleted)

[pale plank]

okay

[next phoenix]

Forgot to backup my saves before reinstalling gamma

Why even live

[mental furnace]

hard hard and install this mod on top https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1283692011077238797

[pale plank]

naah maybe later thats too much for now :D

[mental furnace]

[pale plank]

well this is my a few hours loot, maybe i am lucky

[near estuary]

[remote palm]

brings a tear to my eyes

[indigo bison]

THOSE GUNS ARE IN SUCH GOOD CONDITION WTHHH

Every time I loot guns off of enemies it’s usually only one part is green and the rest are either red or orange

[scenic trench]

either tweaked the settings, got VERY lucky with drops and/or world loot

[pale plank]

i changed parts btw

[blissful ivy]

no setting to affect that

it used to

but now that overall condition is gone

it doesnt

but yeah he changed parts

its super rare that any gun has 3+ green parts

[pale plank]

i only take green barrels

[blissful ivy]

unless its a pistol

[blissful ivy]

thats reasonable, unless its a really rare D kit

in that case you take it

[indigo bison]

Ok that makes a whole lot more sense

[pale plank]

but i found early green barrels tbh

[blissful ivy]

i got a green barrel AMB one time

day one too

[pale plank]

LOL

but i forgor my armor repair

:D

[indigo bison]

I usually try and start with a TOZ(106 I’m pretty sure I haven’t used a shotgun in a while) because it can take slugs and buckshot

[indigo bison]

You’re probably gonna have to find new parts then or some repair kit

[scenic trench]

you need a repair kit for armor parts, unlike guns (except barrel)

[pale plank]

wow

[indigo bison]

To replace the parts, yes but if armour condition is above 85% you can just use emergency armour repair kits. They’re a pretty good way to save money, or just get a glue tube if you’re desperate. Either that or just kill enemies and hope you find it

[scenic trench]

... ik
was speaking of directly replacing bits in suits

[indigo bison]

Unfortunately that vest is WAAAY below 85% condition soooo yeah

[indigo bison]

My bad I might be illiterate 😭

[pale plank]

i hope increase these it will spawn more npc right

and i dont need new game

[blissful ivy]

no but it will take ages to increase

[blissful ivy]

you can use sewing kits from as low as 65%

which means if you tweak certain settings you can do that

[blissful ivy]

it has the most effect in new game also what was the default?

[indigo bison]

The only settings I really tweak are just keybinds and lighting because I slightly desaturate the colours in game

[pale plank]

maybe 1

[blissful ivy]

1 day? no it will take like an ingame week

or smth

[blissful ivy]

nah its in MCM

the drop condition tab

you can make armor drop with higher %

[pale plank]

well i start new game then

[blissful ivy]

i made it so legends have a chance of 65% armor

[indigo bison]

It’d make the game a lot easier but, then again, the reason I downloaded the mod pack was because it was really hard

[blissful ivy]

the range is 50-65%

[indigo bison]

Ah I guess that’s fair

[blissful ivy]

yeah i play blackroad

so its more fair

[indigo bison]

They’re the highest ranking stalkers possible so you might as well expect decent gear from them

[blissful ivy]

i literally start with nothing, cant trade, cant take quests, and everyone wants to kill me

so its a little more fair

[indigo bison]

Wdym everyone wants to kill you??

[blissful ivy]

but if its like that in base gamma, its a bit unbalanced

[west wyvern]

How do I make chimera stop spawning at my door

[blissful ivy]

black road

has a setting

called isolated and hated

[mental furnace]

its isolated and hated

[blissful ivy]

meaning you cant talk to people of any faction

[blissful ivy]

yes, i just said that

if you would read further

you illiterate fuck

[mental furnace]

[blissful ivy]

https://tenor.com/view/the-voices-meme-cat-gif-23917781

[indigo bison]

😨

Is black road in MCM?

[blissful ivy]

dw we're friends or whatever the equivalent is

[blissful ivy]

no

[mental furnace]

FUCK

anyways

[mental furnace]

[scenic trench]

is that permanent or can you actually try to make friends with factions?

[west wyvern]

grumbles about chimeras spawning at my base

[blissful ivy]

yeah that

[indigo bison]

So it’s a separate mod that you can choose to place on top of other gamma mods

[mental furnace]

yeah its permanent

[blissful ivy]

yes, its a choice

[blissful ivy]

yeah unless you somehow manage to get from -5k goodwill to -999

without quests

[scenic trench]

disguises not working either?

[blissful ivy]

no

theyre patched out by I&H

[mental furnace]

sneak on npc and talk for quests

[scenic trench]

ah

[blissful ivy]

just says nothing can hide your stench

literally

[mental furnace]

[scenic trench]

🧼

[indigo bison]

Might download it and give it a go later today

[blissful ivy]

turn off loot claim in MCM

its rough if you dont

actually i dont think it does anything in black road

but im not sure

[pale plank]

full exo suit monolith in cordon

[errant dragon]

Damn, No wonder everyone hates you in I&H

[blissful ivy]

i turned it off anyway

[blissful ivy]

yep

[indigo bison]

Loot claim only applies to neutral or allied faction members

[blissful ivy]

people also just hate you for nothing

[scenic trench]

oh, right
otherwise you basically have to hope for mutant kills or MAD

[blissful ivy]

yeah i never really looked into it

XD

[errant dragon]

Bro's aura is stinky

[blissful ivy]

but that makes sense

[indigo bison]

Better to be safe than sorry

[blissful ivy]

i assumed that was how it works, but i just play with it off anyways

theyre not looting it

so why dont i?

that and sometimes NPCs steal mah kills

then dont let me loot

like shush

[scenic trench]

shoot them too

[blissful ivy]

then their dickhead buddies decide im the enemy, and it snowballs from there

[near estuary]

https://tenor.com/view/moistcritikal-penguinz0-charlie-misinput-it-was-a-misinput-gif-23090919

[blissful ivy]

so i just turned off loot claim

[blissful ivy]

https://tenor.com/view/the-voices-meme-cat-gif-23917781

they told me to

[scenic trench]

the answer?
use MOAR gun

[mental furnace]

sometimes it works for enemies too

[blissful ivy]

yeah ive had that happen

so i just turned it off

is what it is

[mental furnace]

yeah monolith told me to fuck off from chimera

[blissful ivy]

besides youre the scum of the zone, and YOU DONT EVEN HAVE A PDA HALF THE TIME

so like

WHAT YOU MEAN

how you gonna say no looting

if your ass cant contact me

retards

so i just turned that off

[scenic trench]

hm?
thought it applies for every corpse except for kills by the zone or your own?
(well, as long as the npc killer is still standing )

[mental furnace]

no i mean if enemy faction kill some shit

u cant loot it sometimes

[west wyvern]

Fuckass chimera

Is that altyn helmet good

[blissful ivy]

yes

the apocalypse helm?

2nd best helmet

only one better is the spartan

which is funny since the apocalypse helm is from metro, in the original texture iirc

[blissful ivy]

its section name is literally helmet_metro

iirc

[mild wing]

3rd best because of the exohelm

[blissful ivy]

its so small an upgrade

and so much rarer

[mental furnace]

[blissful ivy]

so its 3rd

since the apoc can be found easier, with only like 1-2% change in stats

at worst

so its like... just better because of access

[west wyvern]

Controller problems fr

[mild wing]

rad resistance is the main difference
