playing as sin is so peaceful, you can just walk up and pet a chimera, or dap up a controller

[blissful ivy]

but at the same time, i NEED that pelt and shit

[wanton iris]

now if only the contract I signed with the zone included invulnrability to anomalies...

[blissful ivy]

i find the game more chill as eco

just leaves you with bandits, mutants and anomalies

and the big 3 enemy factions, isg, monolith and sin

[wanton iris]

different kinda chill, eco doesn't need to worry about people as much, sin doesn't need to worry about muntents at all

[wanton iris]

I would kill them for pelts, but I don't have a good knife yet

and only a double barrel shotgun

plus I like having near unlimited sprint and a ton of healing/damage resist

[blissful ivy]

muntents

but yeah

i prefer to fight people anyways, but i dont like no mutant aggro either

makes it hard to lure a chimera to merc base

[wanton iris]

I hate how npcs just walk through anomalies when fighting, I'd rather not half to walk into a wirlygig to get someones loot

[wanton iris]

you clearly don't understand the joy of seeing a sleeping piggy or not having to deal with a controller with no cover

[blissful ivy]

i enjoy the joy of watching my fellow mercenaries die as my chimera attack dog kills them

free loot

sadly cupcake needed to be put down after the incident in dead city

but hey, i got loot out of it so im good

[wanton iris]

imagine being in US Central

[blissful ivy]

his time, not mine

im EST

[unkempt elbow]

imagine it not being 6am right now

[wanton iris]

so now I have cell, Heart, kolobok, and knot, we tanky as fuck

[wild hatch]

Imagine being in US*

[wanton iris]

I still don't get why anyone would want to use the concrete bath base, its open, easy for things to sneak up on you, very little cover from the elements, lots of anomlies, and often has mutants there

[wild hatch]

Who base there tf

Minecraft day 1 type shit

[unkempt elbow]

indeed an interesting choice.

[wanton iris]

ive seen them all, military, duty, bandits

[raven python]

for gun component below 60 only a reapir kit can be used right?

what about if i want to clean a gun component with cleaning kit but i want to apply bonus must i physicall remove the componet for cleaning?

[unkempt elbow]

i believe so

[wanton iris]

should I use exosuit, PSZ-9d, or PSZ-10d

[near estuary]

@steady crater some hippies started shooting at me in army warehouses and I got a little uhh... carried away

[steady crater]

good job on piling them so well.

[steady crater]

also the AS VAL can have a laser???

[near estuary]

poor bastards did it to themselves
just congalining towards me

[near estuary]

it's the VSS

[steady crater]

exactly, the freedomers are dumb

[steady crater]

either way i didnt know it could have one.

[near estuary]

yeah it has one built-in

[steady crater]

i just started a new CS run and ive got a green barrel Toz (pump one) and an MP5

i should probs return to that place to grab that green barrel vintorez huh?

i think they probs despawned

so sad

@near estuary crazy drops from the machine yard.

[near estuary]

damn, free basic tools + the best non-D kit shotgun in the game

[unkempt elbow]

found out the hard way you cant have "" in your stalker name otherwise the game wont save properly

epic

[steady crater]

Free basic tools? I got gunsmith tools from last dawn. Also I just did night terror, turns out it's easy if u sit on a rock and blast it with 30 rounds of 9x19 hp and 10 rounds of buckshot.

Rlly? my first yellow stash? this game is so mean

[unkempt elbow]

you could ask one of the guys at base to tell the military to leave you alone

[steady crater]

wdym?

[unkempt elbow]

who are you playing as?

[steady crater]

CS

[unkempt elbow]

Sorry that was poorly phrased, If you go to sidorovich you have an option that says "You have connections right? can you help me settle things with some people?"

and for a small fee, they'll "talk" with the faction you want to leave you alone

for example

[steady crater]

ohhhh i see. ill do that then

[unkempt elbow]

pretty sure someone in rostok can do it too at the 100 Rad bar

[steady crater]

so i dont have to kill every military there

[unkempt elbow]

barkeep i think

Yeah

[steady crater]

Snitch.

[unkempt elbow]

Ah yeah

Close, at least i knew the location lol

[steady crater]

either way i made CS enemies with Duty.

[unkempt elbow]

huh

that one's on you xd

[steady crater]

with reputation editor

[unkempt elbow]

fair enough

[sick yoke]

they'll still aggro you if you walk too close to them

[steep holly]

S.I.S.K.I testing, jump to 27:00 in video (not my video)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2rQBGbhZW4

[steady crater]

ofc it puts the two yellow stashes in places i dont wanna go yet.

[unkempt elbow]

at least yantar is friendly

[raven python]

guys what is a BR class for armour

[halcyon quail]

took down a chimera with 23 slugs never felt more proud

[unkempt elbow]

BR class is basically your armors ability to stop Bullets from penetrating

Higher BR = more calibers wont penetrate. Ballistic res kicks in with the BR class to reduce the damage taken IF bullets penetrate

hold on wtf

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-uQhAhds1beLtSAdaO-eUdXqnvriIwfNjXrKbiWmklM/edit?gid=545594540#gid=545594540

This says that the Gsh 18 is unobtainable

but i somehow got my hands on one in one of my previous saves

[sick yoke]

Non pen bullets still do damage to you btw, you just (occasionally) get higher damage reduction against them

[steady crater]

who was gooning with the spoon

[unkempt elbow]

oh shit yeah true, my bad

[inland spade]

damn this sounds fucking fun

[steep holly]

that top one aint to bad

[steady crater]

yeah but mind u i have an mp5 and a shotgun with the starting CS armor, i do not wanna have to go to either place rlly, bc its too complicated to get to either one easily.

[steep holly]

not really.. ?

[steady crater]

i have a skill issue kinda, and made duty unfriendly with CS, so yes it is for me.

i mean i can go thru agroprom but then theres mutants and such

and i hate mutants

[steep holly]

and unless you are on a iron man run, just go for it, see what happends, if you cant make it work, load as you enterd that area

[steady crater]

especially snorks

[steady crater]

i got basic tools from hip anyway, and gunsmithing from last dawn, i dont need it rlly.

[steep holly]

just sprint the entire lenght of the map, they cant catch you, and are you sure this game is for you if you have so much of it?

[steady crater]

im more focused on finding a good base spot.

[steady crater]

wdym if i have so much of it?

[raven python]

gusy how you get wood?

[steady crater]

dissasembling wood things, guitars ect.

[steep holly]

also 5x basic toolkits can be crafted into the next tier toolkit, and yellow stashs is a good source for new armor, i mean, look, this is what GAMMA is, you are challenged and then you adapt and overcome, dont run from this new challenge, seek them out

(again, unless your on ironman)

[steep holly]

you can also chop wood with a axe

[steady crater]

4 basic, also im not running from the challenge, im simply delaying it until i get a good base down, thats more important to me right now as i said.

[little light]

buy firewood from traders and disassemble

thats how i do it everytime

[steep holly]

5 basic by default, 4 if you have the crafting achivement

[steady crater]

ah ok, i normally end up getting the achievement by the time i need advanced by making ammo anyway.

[steep holly]

and if your lucky, that yellow could hold advanced tools 😉

[inland spade]

the crafting achievment should have a zeo added at the end

[steep holly]

hell, i found advanced tools in darkscape once (4% drop chance lol)

[little light]

im still getting gunsmithing even way up north

[steady crater]

ik, ive gotten a few where the first yellow stashes had them.

[raven python]

guys how you get TOZ 194? for hip

[steep holly]

ponders

i think i read that advanced cannot drop before your first basic`s (think i read that in a patch somewhere)

[steep holly]

its carried by surtain factions, renegeades and mercs and a few more (but those are your best bet), renegades hang out in the swamp

[steady crater]

also thats what gamma is to u, for me its the preparation and shenangains that happen during that time im preparing for a expedition like that, not going in underprepared and wasting time.

[raven python]

crap can i spawn 1?

i accidentally disassemble it

[steep holly]

going to Yantar is a expedition lol... what are you on about

[steady crater]

it was the first one i actually went to and got, one had spawned in cordon before that, but never went to it. (second one was in army wharehouse)

[steep holly]

yes you can

[raven python]

you need a command?

[steep holly]

you need to enable debug mode (developer mode), i can find you the info

[steady crater]

u do realize ive given valid reasons, its an expedition bc the only place ive been this run is swamp, and ive already said i have a slight skill issue, u can just not undermine my logic.

also again im busy doing other things anyway.

[steep holly]

jump 1 minutte into this video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_gv_5ghbDk

then ingame, press F7 for debug mode and then press 1 for item spawner and find the shotgun

[unkempt elbow]

What's the point of rushing the game when you can just play at your own pace and enjoy it

[steep holly]

he accidently dismantled the gun

[unkempt elbow]

Nah im on the point from earlier

The yantar thing and what not

[steep holly]

there is no rush, just saying that Yantar is not a bad/hard place to visit

[unkempt elbow]

Kinda yeah, its not a frequently visited place too thats why its a bit of a hassle to go there

[steady crater]

u need to consider other ppls point of views, it would be so much work to go out of my way when im doing other things AKA getting better guns and finding a good base spot as ive said

[unkempt elbow]

Only good thing about yantar is that the ecologist sell the meds cheapest there

And ig there's miracle machine

But you need to fork out 30k rubles before you can go there

[steady crater]

i am nowhere close to that tho.

[unkempt elbow]

That's fair

But if youre doing the main quest line youll have to step into yantar eventually

[steady crater]

yeah but not right now, i dont even have a proper base down and im more concerned with getting a dawg

[unkempt elbow]

Fair

[steep holly]

I wanted to switch from Zone Texture Rework back to Rotten Life 3, not knowing that both are taken down by the developer... could anyone do me the major solid of temp. uploading rotten life 3 or ZTR and share it with me (mediafire, fileshare, i dunno, something)

[near estuary]

I think mods forbade it or something

even though the creator is giant retard for doing this

[tame trellis]

npc weapons float for you too? This is with march 10 mt exes.

[steep holly]

Just tried this myself a bit, there are SO MANY more Stalkers walking around (from all factions), this is so much fun

[frank oxide]

yeh, known issue when you add new guns

3DSS replaced a ton of weapons in the recent months which spiked up the hand position bugs

[unkempt whale]

Ok, serious question..

how am I suppose to tell if any of this works

FPS is certainly affected by this, but I absolutely can't tell any difference whatsoever

is there any difference?

visually, where do I look

[frank oxide]

stand next to a truck or whatever and see if your screen gets brighter/takes on the color of the truck

or just generally some bright/colored object

[unkempt whale]

this is even more confusing

[frank oxide]

[unkempt whale]

this was never a problem to begin with

[frank oxide]

i'll give you a tl;dr on SSS settings

adjusting most of them doesn't do shit to visuals yet improves fps because they don't get rendered

[unkempt whale]

actually if you have some sort of a site with documentation on all SSS features in Gamma, I would gladly read it

I don't have reading comprehension problem or anything

It's just that I have no fucking clue as to which setting and does what

[frank oxide]

i don't know if there is proper documentation, the settings are just thrown at you with no explanations unless you're in the know

[unkempt whale]

except the "force ambient light" thingy

[frank oxide]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/screen-space-shaders might give you a hint or two

[unkempt whale]

that thing works, I can tell the difference for sure

[frank oxide]

the effects are listed in the description

[unkempt whale]

this one I mean

but even then.. I gotta say it gets really hard to even tell if there difference between this and simple ambient light in Reshade

does seem like it's doing the same shit

@frank oxideok, at least with video showcasing I can learn where to look

that's a good start

well fuck.. this isn't getting less confusing isn't it

is it motion is what different.. I can't tell

ah, it's ghosting

[junior delta]

im on living fire rn, js killed the military that came into lab x18 after i talked to prometheus, i am confused on where to go next 😭

[unkempt whale]

well, from what I can tell AO is the biggest game changer in visuals

which is expected

ok, terrain upgrade is actually huge deal in visuals

that much is learned

https://media.moddb.com/images/members/1/687/686516/image_1.jpg

[frank oxide]

if you're gonna look at each change one by one you'll keep saying "okay its a huge deal in visuals"

but then you go in-game and you see like half of it

[unkempt whale]

or nada of it

yeah, that's kinda a problem I am dealing with

[frank oxide]

most of it isn't even that pronounced by default or features are just missing

like puddles

[unkempt whale]

in fact, just by watching video of AO +IL vs Vanilla - it is now clear to me that Vanilla is better looking + more FPS

[frank oxide]

they don't form in default gamma, because no one adjusted the height for them so it led to just..... water

[unkempt whale]

which is hilarious

ah, it does work well on my side of Gamma

puddles and all

[frank oxide]

or this funny

[unkempt whale]

it appears your game is broken

or what am I looking at

[junior delta]

never thought that professor sakharov would be holding a gun in his safe bunker

i mean i guess selling him a spare brn helped him

[rare rampart]

puddle

[hollow flicker]

is frostys weapon pack coming to gamma at all?

[waxen plinth]

since when you can sell guns?

[junior delta]

black market mod

i have it on

i mean i guess you could also donate him guns

it would work aswell i think

[junior delta]

and now i have a trader whos selling a HERA for 450k rubles...

[frank oxide]

its too much bloat

you already have like 50 guns that serve no purpose and are just reskins of one another

don't add another 200

[hollow flicker]

that is true but still, I feel like I see the same 20 guns over and over again

[junior delta]

do you expect to see a stalker with a flintlock in the zone?

[waxen plinth]

flintlock - no, but 3d printed crap might come up from time to time

[junior delta]

ooh i would love to see a fgc9 and various glock pcc's

maybe even the urutau

i would also imagine that 3d printed crap would wear out 200% faster

[devout wing]

so... do crows get marked as stashes on the PDA map?

[little summit]

Sometimes bodies/stalkers/your own stashes get marked as given stash, not sure about crows

[devout wing]

well the thing is, the crow was alive and flying around

and you wouldn't guess where this was; Darkscape

[halcyon quail]

my guy practiced the floating gun technique

[near estuary]

forgot to turn off the dogshit english merc voicelines and now my ears are bleeding

[wild hatch]

My God Radar is actually hell

I never got to deactivating Miracle Machine in previous saves and skip past it, but I just chewed up all my ammo getting IN the thing

[scenic trench]

you can bypass it with a phantom star
just clear halfway up the winding road, put it on
can sprint to BS entrance

[wild hatch]

Right now I’m struggling with figuring out what to do after Miracle Machine.
I’ll desperately need to restock. And the nearest traders are beyond Pripyat and Red Forest
Thoughts?

[dusk vessel]

red forest has a trader

one that will trade with you regardless of faction

[wild hatch]

I’m not sure if Red Forest is easier than Pripyat.

Both go to Jupiter

[mental furnace]

swamp on WT

[dusk vessel]

both arent difficult really

red forest has more mutants and sin

prypiat probably the easiest

[wild hatch]

Problem is I’m on limited supplies

My gear mostly cater stalkers so I’ll probably go Pripyat

What makes Red Forest appealing is the fact that it’s close to the underground exit

Pripyat I’ve got to backtrack

[little light]

are you doing an isg run?

[wild hatch]

Stalker

Why?

[little light]

ooh

[little light]

nothing lol, just the way i see you play sounds like an isg run

[wild hatch]

Are you…in my wall?

[little light]

[wild hatch]

Yeah but like this bit for me isn’t far off from an ISG run

Hostile-country the entire way

But someone’s got to disable the Miracle Machine

[little light]

might as well murder strelok

[wild hatch]

That baldy didn’t do a great job deactivating the shitty thing

[little light]

he turned it off then turned it back on once he was through

[wild hatch]

Screw that Dementia-ridden grandpa

[dusk vessel]

If you path correctly you can cross prypiat without having to fire a shot

[wild hatch]

Fark, what an arsehole

[wild hatch]

Let’s hope so. Last time I went there there was Chimeras

[dusk vessel]

Happens

Usually poltergeists

Also pseudogiants can spawn

But red forest is more dangerous

[raven python]

if you give companions bag? will it increase their carry weight?

[near estuary]

no

[hollow flicker]

did you manage to fix it? having the same issue

[sturdy berry]

how do I disable burers being able to take my guns?

[surreal laurel]

mmh was doing an invictus run as a bandit but somehow i have made olivius angry with me and a few others.. sultan seems ok with me... how do i progress the main storyline? going to sid as disguised freedomer?

was also considering going merc as i heard they can become friendly with loners...

[frank oxide]

olivius can turn hostile if you kill/shoot companions that you get from the southern farm clearing task

as for main story there is none for bandits, you need to take a gamble for storyline bricking and switch to mercs/freedom

[surreal laurel]

fun thing is if i sneak to olivius instantly chatting to him he still paid for some of completed missions . well then after the chat i had to run far away fast :p

(but he still managed to punch me in the face somehow )

[brisk anvil]

hello guys, i want to play monolith, so monilith's mission is to kill every one ?
is there any feature like Merc's special NPC's aslan or griffin

[frank oxide]

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1451104356857282644 < yeh basically, monolith is "you make your own goal"

[brisk anvil]

thanks, i think i will try it

i saw they are friendly with Sins? can i accept mission and buys goods from sins?

[frank oxide]

yeh

[muted mulch]

fresh install and already greeted with the nuclear bloom

[vapid cobalt]

i was just attacked by like 10 zombies

not the ones with guns

[analog palm]

buh

i barely get any monolithians on radar these days

lucky to get even 30

[wanton iris]

for the lost signal quest for monolith/sin, do I need to find more then one scout group?

nvm

[quasi lance]

chat
wtf is this

[dusk vessel]

#🔨base-gamma-support

looks like it tried to spawn an item idk

[glossy drift]

It's an error message

[quasi lance]

[hollow flicker]

for some reason on the end of op afterglow, you have to visit the merc base in outskirts or the war within quest from rouge doesnt start and you get softlocked

almost fucked up my invictus run

just have to share my frustration, fuck this game I love it

[rose plover]

did you get this while using auto looter cause my game tends to crash when I try to use autolooter..

[near estuary]

#🔨base-gamma-support

[blissful ivy]

Possibly the most accurate description of the average playerbase

[limpid island]

what Function keys are used by gamma which are hardcoded, I mean F1, F2, F3, F4. Only one I know is F7 debug mode.

[blissful ivy]

Thats your answer

F7 is all

1-6 and 7-12 seem clear

Sorry, 8-12

[limpid island]

can I rebind debug to something else too?

[blissful ivy]

I think so

But im not sure

[sudden heron]

How do I recharge items like wall lamps? I can't pick them back up, I can just turn them on or off.

[blissful ivy]

Wall lamp? Like a light bulb on the wall?

[sudden heron]

No like

uh

[blissful ivy]

That you place from hideout furniture?

[sudden heron]

This thing

Yes the one you place

[blissful ivy]

Yeah a light bulb

Hold f on it

Im being deadass

Opens a menu

[wanton iris]

is the thisel and surrendering enemies worth it?

[sudden heron]

It's empty.

[blissful ivy]

Yeah idk your shit brokey i guess

[sudden heron]

Damn

[blissful ivy]

Never seen this one

This is new

#🔨base-gamma-support or #🔨modded-gamma-support

Pick the one that applies to you

[silk stirrup]

Re: Grok's question in #📢announcements Yes, it happens. It seems to be almost always regarding Ecologists, most often happening in Yantar.

(I like living, so no ping 😛 )

[hollow wadi]

I mean the "error" is just there to prevent you from taking already failed tasks

[silk stirrup]

True, but since he asked, I figured might as well elaborate a bit.

[dusk vessel]

people have been posting about this ever since .4 dropped

so idk what the point of the poll is

ig to see if its widespread enough to fix

[silk stirrup]

He's been looking at other stuff, now he's looking at this?

[limpid island]

Wil ImGUI editor be useful to me in any way?

[frank oxide]

usually no, unless you want to use debug features of imgui like task manager, fps overlay, achievement manager etc etc

basically cheats.. or shortcuts for stuff

or when trying to figure out why the game lags/stutters, devtools are used with imgui

not sure what you'd do with that information unless you know how to troubleshoot but its there

[placid root]

do you know why this is a bug that happens? I dont remember it being a thing in older gamma versions

[frank oxide]

Byproduct of Serious' attempts at fixing the North tasks when in South and vice versa

game having odd priority picks is why south zones were often targetted in the north, because if you forced north targets then the game simply refused to pick anything, which resulted in a broken task that failed when accepted (or the other way around, npc providing a task far north when you're in the south which couldn't be hidden so game throws the critical error)

same thing can happen with package tasks for example, target_id unable to be found so game just shows a grayed out npc image with some made up name, when accepted the task fails (old old players will remember the "My Brother's Keeper" task from Beard which always suffered from this issue, because it wanted to focus on a military npc to kill)

The "error" is there to prevent the player from accepting a task that would fail on accept, which results in goodwill loss

[frank oxide]

those same bugged tasks were able to be picked up from npcs when you just talked to them directly
so it didn't work out well in all cases

and yes, sometimes refreshing the taskboard fixed those bugs because the game was able to refresh possible targets for the task and provide one that will work

[placid root]

hmm interesting, thank you so much for the explanation <3 I dont mind them but the first time I saw them I def thought something broke lol

[atomic pebble]

fix the tasks in the north!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
fix:
delete north maps

[frank oxide]

its true

south works far, far, FAR better than north ever will

[placid root]

pre taskboard era was hard work lol

[frank oxide]

its always north that causes issues

fuck the north

[placid root]

D:

bbbuuuut outskirts is fun

[frank oxide]

shevi will roast you in 3..... 2...... 1.....

[atomic pebble]

I vill let him with his thoughts😞

[placid root]

send it

[atomic pebble]

Pripyat SuCks and Pripyat CoPe are bad maps, one is criminally small and the other don't has enough open interiors, the tasks must have more places for do the thingis, the north never will be fixed if u don't add more locations to it

[silk stirrup]

Honestly, (without knowing ANY of the details of the changes that's intended to keep the player more in the North), I kinda like the feel of "living" in the South, and going North for special occasions. Quests, hunting for high-level gear, tools and such.

[atomic pebble]

Reject Poop Pripyat, Embrace Living Zone

[near estuary]

now kidnap grok's family and make him import this into gamma

[silk stirrup]

If it's actually functional, with dynamic spawns, loot and everything, I doubt you'd need kidnapping for him to put it in. Most new maps are at best like 50% done though.

[atomic pebble]

Not even Customguys can port the entire city without cut it, what makes u think that Gamba will have a pixel of it

[near estuary]

idk, just use sovl to extort gronk

[atomic pebble]

https://tenor.com/view/cats-toby-the-cat-nod-yes-yes-yes-hooman-gif-17105827

is the only sin base really just in red forest?

I need to get my goodwill up :(

[pulsar nest]

wait so i heard theres an update that rebinds the consumable wheel to Z or Y from F i dont remember, and i know i dont have that update but my gamma launcher says my addons are up to date?

[wanton iris]

I wish there was more content for sin

[silk stirrup]

Sin exists primarily to take slugs to the face

[blissful ivy]

sin exists to make me expend 20% more ammo

in a long journey

assholes

if im not using my .50BMG they eat at least one shot to the head of .338

.50 is the only thing ive found that can reliably obliterate them

[silk stirrup]

No, seriously, slugs to the face is excellent against them.

[novel junco]

Its the unreleased map guy again

[blissful ivy]

until its an exo sin

then what?

AP slugs suck ass

they have such a low damage modifier they struggle on sin in exos

so just use a rifle with fmj, makes it so much easier

because you can be further away with your 8x scope taking shots at him while he can barely see you

or use AP if you like

idk doesnt matter, fmj is cheaper to use on sin 9/10 times

[inland spade]

one time exo sinner abosrbed like 140 9mm fmj

was fun watching that

then i got angry and he got 338 between the eyes

[dusk vessel]

you mustve missed a lot

they dont tank that much 9x19 fmj

[inland spade]

i dont deny that i was red forest

near theire mine

then a legend and master loners came in

and deleted the rest of the crew there

[dusk vessel]

a nosorg sinner will die after 27 9x19 fmj shots to the torso

[inland spade]

like i play on big ammo count modifiers modifers

so i didnt really cared about it

still had 600 more in backpack

[dusk vessel]

anything will die with enough bullets

[inland spade]

yup

like

its was drum mag skorpion

thigs a laser gun

[dusk vessel]

i did no step back with mp5sd not long ago

just plastering them with fmj

[inland spade]

idk what that quest is anymore

[wanton iris]

I wonder how much I could tank, sinner with a few too many damage reduction artifacts

[wanton iris]

wait sin has a nosorog?

[atomic pebble]

somehow

[sick yoke]

They have the model but not an item

[wanton iris]

damit

all i can get is power armor and I have yet to find an exo to turn in for it :(

[sick yoke]

Their exo is already fine yeah

[rigid stream]

gonna love the diver helmet

[wanton iris]

but its not a nosorog

[sick yoke]

There’s really not much difference in stats

And the nosorog model is just an exo with more armor

[near estuary]

we all know the orange teletubby suit is objectively the best armor in the game

[drifting temple]

I want a redline ecologist suit

[dusk vessel]

still 27 shots is less than i expected

considering 9x19 are bullet hoses

with ap its 21 shots

lmao ap is so bad

[wanton iris]

I keep getting exosuits and no exoskeletons >:(

[quasi lance]

found the issue

was the Arisaka type 93

<w>

[limpid island]

since there are so many useful idiot keybinds, which are the main ones I should bind to separate keys for quick action

also what's the difference between this in normal settings vs ToggleScope in mcm

[blissful ivy]

the one in MCM takes the scope off the gun iirc

its kinda useless

the normal setting is for switching between backup irons and your scope

usually

[limpid island]

scope off the gun? what do you mean? Like physically removes the scope and puts it in your inventory?

[blissful ivy]

yes

[limpid island]

._. why

[blissful ivy]

what else would it take the scope off of?

XD

why? no clue

never really used it

only got annoyed when i hit it on accident a few times

so im glad its unbound

[limpid island]

like a magnifier sight lol, that's what I would think toggle scope means (ik this is part of another mcm mod)

ig imma let it be unbound then

[blissful ivy]

yeah i have both of those on my mouse buttons

the magnifier and canted

so i just hit my side buttons

and V is for ubgl

[limpid island]

also any opinion on this?

[blissful ivy]

no, just use the menu

[limpid island]

the menu is like... easy/comfortable to use right?

[blissful ivy]

nothing is ever that urgent on useful idiots

[limpid island]

intuitive

[blissful ivy]

press button, and you get a UI that is a bunch of rows of settings

its pretty simple

you can choose the type of combat, the distance they follow you, etc.

and you can switch between certain companions with the numbers in the top left of the menu

its quite intuitive compared to some UIs in stalker

[limpid island]

also, I have 4 free buttons on my mouse, 3 easy to reach 1 kinda for special occasions

[blissful ivy]

yeah i got 2 for my thumb, all i need

[limpid island]

what would you say are the 4 things I should bind to them

[blissful ivy]

when do you ever need more than 2 mouse binds

[blissful ivy]

like i said, changing sights like the one V is bound to, and magnifiers

but this is just me

because theres seldom any keybinds you NEED that much

[limpid island]

maybe the scope reticle also?

[blissful ivy]

anything you need that bad, its on either the quick wheel or your F1 - F4

[blissful ivy]

nah, i doubt you will use it that much

also fyi on magnifiers, your mark switch reticle will NOT carry over when you switch it on and off

[wanton iris]

I waited 3 in game hours and still no new tasks :(

[blissful ivy]

just use the default one

[blissful ivy]

its like 24 hours mate

sin and monolith really do just suck ass gameplay/progression wise

just kill people without a task

[limpid island]

any option to make it remember?

[blissful ivy]

no lol

its just how magnifiers work

im 90% sure they just change the optic really fast

[limpid island]

ah shucks no worries

[blissful ivy]

from the magnifier off, and the one on

but i could be wrong

[wanton iris]

is there a way to make it shorter

[blissful ivy]

probably

[sick yoke]

I meant that sin not having a nosorog item is whatever because their exo item is already really good and there’s not much stat difference between exos and nosorogs, and even the model visually is just exo but with more plating

[limpid island]

I assume RF can just be used normally (without timewaste) without binding specific frequencies?

[wanton iris]

yeah, just scroll

[limpid island]

any use for this? since numpad enter already seems to toggle it

[quasi lance]

what mod is the one that lets you remove patches ?

i need to rebind it

[blissful ivy]

i mean, does it matter?

XD

if something does nothing, why ask tho

just wondering

gamma is full of redundant shit

[limpid island]

Patches by Hotkey in MCM

[blissful ivy]

half the modpack is literally disabled in MO2

[limpid island]

Its stalker

xray engine

anything and everything and nothing can happen when you change an option

[blissful ivy]

exactly, thats why theres so many redundant things

so you just leave it

if it seems to do nothing, LEAVE IT BE

[limpid island]

I will askmaxx my way into making it perfect

[blissful ivy]

because its gonna fuck shit up

or it might not

its a gamble

and i LOVE GAMBLING

LETS GOO

https://tenor.com/view/let-it-ride-let-it-ride-diem-gif-13460879079669063039

[sick yoke]

Might as well ask

[blissful ivy]

i mean yeah i guess, but i just kinda assume shit will break, and its worked this far

so idk

seems to me that its a valid strategy

Do the following to get an FPS counter on GAMMA 0.9.4:

Download and install this addon: https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/simple-fps-monitor (In MO2, press CTRL+M, select the zip file, install and enable).
Once installed, load into your save and press F11 to open the ImgUi menu, then in the upper left corner select File > FPS Monitor > START MONITORING

Alternatively use external FPS counters like NVIDIA Overlay, MSI Afterburner, etc. or re-enable Reshade by following !reshade command in #🤖bot-commands (Reshade does take some FPS away, so it's up to you)

where should I go to farm legendary stalkers

or master mercs

[quasi lance]

absolute cinema

[wanton iris]

what is an basic materials package??

[near estuary]

[wanton iris]

demolished train station at yantar, still no exo kit :(

[thick sedge]

simply farm mercs exclusively because they secretly have access to great weaponry and are lower tier isg

but "farming" stalkers just means you raid their base

[wanton iris]

I raided dead city not long ago

[thick sedge]

raiding something like Rostok I did as a bandit only gives me the Apocalypse and that's the only interesting item I get

[wanton iris]

im pretty sure the apocalypse is the best heavy helemt

[wanton iris]

time to keep reloading until I get an exo kit off of an unisg

[wanton iris]

I wish I could see how many stacks of critical asention i have

[wanton iris]

I keep dying because my torso gets zeroed, even though my health is at 70% >:(

[light echo]

so where did the scope gone?

[celest sparrow]

Removed

The kits now increase scope compatibility instead of providing a fixed scope

[light echo]

Negative, you see that scope on top of the shotgun it was compatible with the rifle before the upgrade

Now its no longer compatible

[wild hatch]

It’s a MASSIVE difficulty increase tho

Radar is endgame area located in midgame

[waxen plinth]

had like 15 for entire location on second visit

I expected, I dunno, to exert some effort in one of biggest monolith bases

[celest sparrow]

Hoping for Radar to have its changes removed sometime later

[atomic pebble]

Once i saw a super peak hot Radar

That was peak

Instead, this sucks

[alpine elm]

Any good capacitor farms?

[warped comet]

does it matter what %gun i give to my companion? i mean does barrel condition does anything to my companions dmg etc?

and my stupid ass assumed it was some kind of hidden quest

[pulsar nest]

i wonder how inventory weights revised hasnt made it into the modpack yet, its such an essential mod for inventory management

[wanton iris]

what does that do

[sick yoke]

It’s quests that can’t be completed, the message itself isn’t a bug

[pulsar nest]

shows you the total weight of an item, like 5 vodkas equal 5 kilos or something

without having to hover

it shows in the icon of the item

help me convince my friend that 2d pdas are bad somehow, lie or idk anything

[unkempt whale]

anyone knows what Sun quality does at extreme?

is it bugged at extreme?

really hard to tell if it does anything..

actually one thing I notice is that now on my gun's surface I can see some shadow artefacts

which is why I am worried if it's broken

[thick sedge]

Medium - simple PCF (constant size filtering)
High - PCSS (Variable Size Filtering)
Ultra - PCSS (Variable Size Filtering)
Extreme - PCSS (Variable Size Filtering)```

[unkempt whale]

doesn't explain much if to be honest

High is optimal, that much is clear

but what it actually does

and if it of any use with SSS

[thick sedge]

have you tried https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/shaders-look-better?

[unkempt whale]

which is basically doing same

[thick sedge]

it's a bit too much if you have SSS and if I remember right people shouldn't touch it

because SSS does it for you

I use mod above because I don't use SSS

[unkempt whale]

that's my point yea

so.. with SSS where do I leave it be

High?

[thick sedge]

it was left as is on Low

[unkempt whale]

really?

[thick sedge]

actually it supports SSS from the FOMOD

[thick sedge]

yes...

low and volumetric

sun quality was set as is on medium as well

if you ever want to default it

[unkempt whale]

and I assume SSAO off?

as in SSS we have AO built in

there no difference between extreme and low settings in Sun shadow quality

[thick sedge]

yes

Kvma and azetrix merge was pulled/taken down by the mod author

[rich condor]

I see. Alright thanks

[valid loom]

[wanton iris]

I wish there was more artifacts and anomalies in the zone, like the mosquito mange (the reason why stalkers threw bolts) or maybe just more atmospheric anomalies similar to the electric anomalies on the power lines, just stuff that looks interesting but doesn't have to be dangerous

Even just the weird shadows from the book would be interesting, just random small areas where shadows don't act right

[near estuary]

I miss those rare moments in SoC where they tried to make anomalies look more natural, such as the aforementioned electros on power lines or burners near damaged gas plumbing

[wanton iris]

I think there is more potential then that though, the zone is weird, make it more weird

[near estuary]

imagine an anomaly that plays a sort holographic projection of its last victim
would be SOVL

[wanton iris]

Also totally don't just want more artifacts because I'm greedy

Then again I also want to be able to place a "empty" down on my table in my base

[wanton iris]

Got this idea from this
https://pid.bungie.org/Roadside_Picnic_Artifacts.html

[near estuary]

Use klondaik then

[wanton iris]

What

[near estuary]

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1404188351434723488

Adds a shit ton of artefacts

[wanton iris]

Interesting, now if only I could have more then my (currently) 3 slots for artifacts

Would it require starting a new save?

[near estuary]

probably?
ask in the thread

[wanton iris]

Also are the artifacts Interesting in themselves?

[near estuary]

idk, I never used it myself

[wanton iris]

Damn

I wonder if the next big stalker game will somehow find a way to change what the zone is, ie no longer about chernobyl

[hollow wadi]

Beating you over the head with Pacific Drive

[wanton iris]

Maybe we will get Harmet from the book, although it did also say there were many zones so I guess they could do it anywhere

[hollow wadi]

What book

[wanton iris]

Roadside picnic, haven't read it personally

[hollow wadi]

Well, here's a spoiler -- it is only very tangentially related to the games

If the games were based on the books any more, the anomalies would actually be invisible

[wanton iris]

Maybe there could be a Nordic zone, all wintery...

[hollow wadi]

Losing 10 hours of in-game progress because you touched a piece of grass indistinguishable from any other 11 hours ago

[wanton iris]

I mean I wouldn't mind mange anomalies

[analog palm]

If you feel that way ok but I feel like it's been massively nerfed at some point

[wanton iris]

Not 100% invisible so I could see it in game

[wanton iris]

When it's in grass at least

[hollow wadi]

Your run being unrecoverable because you touched warm air

[wanton iris]

I still do just want more anomalies, even if visual

[hollow wadi]

You may think I'm being harsh but that's how it is in the book

People just die days later

[novel junco]

If Stalker was a lot like the book, nobody would play it

[hollow wadi]

90% of the map becomes impassable if you want to play longer than 15 minutes

[wanton iris]

Yeah ik, but I want to see stuff like the shadows or "cotton"

[novel junco]

500 anomalies in a single map

Bump up the spawn rates in DAO to a ridiculous amount

[mighty viper]

It’s good

But yeah a faint glitter in the air = you get turned to meat patty, that’s the book anomalies lol

Also, stalker is not related to aliens

[hollow wadi]

That part isn't a spoiler, mind

[wanton iris]

... just the aftermath of their visitation

[hollow wadi]

And we're the ants suffering their littering

I should get a copy of the book, physical

Oh that's a fun cover (non-AI, this came out in 2016)

[wanton iris]

Would be cool if there could be two versions of the next stalker, outer zone and inner zone. Outer zone is pretty much stalker 2, easy going, anomalies might as well have yellow paint around it, etc

Inner zone is more so ment for the people who actually want the zone, way harder, more unique anomalies and artifacts, maybe even stalkers being less faction based, where any stalker can decide to attack you even if you are a friend of their faction

Idk it's 2am I should probably sleep

[sick yoke]

Stalcraft type shit

[mental furnace]

[radiant sage]

Lmao

[radiant sage]

Me when I make stalker an extraction shooter

[unkempt whale]

Pacific Drive is a bit closer to original source than Stalker

In terms of gameplay - it's pretty good

[fallen atlas]

Any comparison ingame between Demonized legs and the original mod?

[unkempt whale]

In terms of story and characters - it's woke trash

[wanton iris]

No, just difficulty options that actually change the world and story and not just how much damage you take and deal

[radiant sage]

[analog palm]

Could've phrased it better but I think pd would be better less narrative as whole

Like just exploration and environmental storytelling

And maybe slightly less arcadey

[hollow wadi]

STALKER gamers when someone makes a STALKER-kinda-like that's less about homosexual slavs

[thick sedge]

are they really homosexuals

[hollow wadi]

Why do you think there weren't any women until S2

[thick sedge]

wonder where that homosex energy went

[valid loom]

For Freedomers? Bloodsuckers. For Duty? Among themselves.

[hollow wadi]

Watch it, champ

[valid loom]

[mental furnace]

nah duty and freedom secretly making out

[sick yoke]

If it has women the game is woke 😡 but if the women have big tits/ass then it’s not woke it’s based!!!!!!!!!!!!

Truly can never take people who claim games are “woke” seriously

[mild wing]

#📎to-do message

Does that mean the humans won’t be highlighted anymore?

[mental furnace]

nah thermals just not gonna drop

[radiant sage]

Pretty sure it just means they can't drop it anymore

[mild wing]

Makes sense

He’s been ramping up the money sinks lately

[hollow wadi]

Scope drop chances are miniscule as is

[mild wing]

And they aren’t even that expensive when selling

[radiant sage]

I think it shouldn't be entirely removed from the droptable

If you want it more rare do the scavenging level thing like with nosorogs

Or bind it to high level enemies like the recipes

[mild wing]

Locking them behind scavenging level or rank would be better tbh

[mental furnace]

[sick yoke]

Don’t know if he even can lol

Scav on nosorog works because it drops as its own item and can just get deleted

Scopes spawn on the gun so not sure if he’d be able to do the same thing

[unkempt elbow]

Do you guys know if there's any way to make some unobtainable guns obtainable again?

I wanna add my fav pistol into the drop pool because there's like 1 character on the entire map that has it very late game.

I think is not a good idea, each little changes could bring you inestability/crashes issues even after 10-20 hours, better to have a clean save if you are going to update

The easiest way to get more FPS is download either the MT version of modded exes, or the funny engine mod. But since they're in early version, some bugs can occur, so use at your own risk.

[inland spade]

tourist

[inner basalt]

ah its a difficulty setting

[inland spade]

yeah progression difficulty

easiest one has sks molot for choice

[inner basalt]

should I not buy a gun with my points then?

[inland spade]

you should buy a gun

[inner basalt]

also is the monolith start hard or something?

it gets cool looking guns

[inland spade]

well you start in pripyat

every faction but sin hates you

[inner basalt]

so start in pripyat with like no gear?

[inland spade]

well

x16 armour and a gun you buy

and you ahve psy helmet by default

[blissful ivy]

Monolith isnt very fun

[inner basalt]

so u skip a bunch of stuff?

[blissful ivy]

You get like 4 quests per year

[inner basalt]

rip lol

dont u unlock the sin start if u beat the game?

[blissful ivy]

Dont be fooled, it has literally no quests

Yeah if you beat mortal sin

[inner basalt]

whats that start like?

[blissful ivy]

You get renegade from living legend

[inland spade]

isg from the operation something

[blissful ivy]

Sin is monolith, but you get some other perks

[inner basalt]

ive always gotten bored before finishing the game then take a 2 3 years break reinstall wipe my save

[blissful ivy]

Afterglow

I always called it operation afterthought, since it feels very wonky and rushed

[inner basalt]

what other perks do u tank headshots like sin does?

[blissful ivy]

Yeah

[atomic pebble]

Generators should get a remake

[blissful ivy]

And mutants are neutral

For sin

[inner basalt]

that sounds pretty cool

sounds like a great start for warfare mode

[blissful ivy]

But other than that, no friends, and no quests

Good luck having ammo to shoot enemies with

A whole like 3 traders

At best

[wanton iris]

yes please

[inner basalt]

sounds pretty rough crafting like all your own ammo

so i should go clear sky?

[blissful ivy]

Sin and monolith are just really lame starts

Zombified is even worse

[inner basalt]

theres a zombified start?

[blissful ivy]

Yes

[atomic pebble]

Generators from Call of Pripyat 2
Generators in Lost World

[inner basalt]

that sounds cool

[blissful ivy]

But its not really good

Cool until its just reskinned monolith

And worse

[inner basalt]

rup

[wanton iris]

why does the sprint upgrade not work for the unisg nosorog

[inner basalt]

is clear sky and loner quests the same?

[blissful ivy]

It does tho

You got another issue if thats the case

[blissful ivy]

The main story is, last dawn is

And the random fetch/kill quests are about the same

[wanton iris]

you get up to 15% damage resistance, 35% speed increase, 1% health regen, and psi resistance

[blissful ivy]

So basically yeah

[wanton iris]

but you need constant artifacts to not start dying

[atomic pebble]

Sin is faction bloat

[blissful ivy]

Yeah

They exist only to tank some extra ammo

[inner basalt]

so lever action armour and some meds?

[wanton iris]

damn, why do I always get random bad things affecting me

[blissful ivy]

What progression are you playing?

[wanton iris]

I wish they could get more content to them

[inner basalt]

easy

[sick yoke]

Did you upgrade Servomotor boosters

[inner basalt]

I havent played in 2 years so I want to not be railed

[blissful ivy]

I wish they could get removed

[atomic pebble]

We should get groups and faction more interesting, renegades, sin and ISG are nothingburger faction bloat

[blissful ivy]

Yeah tbh it doesnt really matter what you pick, majority of the starter weapons are good

Smgs, rifles, just dont pick the kar98

[inner basalt]

whats the difference between the flashlight and headlamp?

[blissful ivy]

Think about it.

Flashlight is in hand

The other is not

[atomic pebble]

one is a light like a flash, the other is like a lamp of a head

[sick yoke]

Flashlight prevents using anything 2 handed

[sturdy berry]

this game just temporarily bricked my pc wtf

[sick yoke]

Headlamp crafts into nvgs and saves you like 4 rubles or something probably idk

[inner basalt]

ok so I want the headlamp or should I just buy that with money?

[radiant star]

craft the headlamp

its cheaper

but you could buy it too

[wanton iris]

oh, i forgot to scroll down

[radiant star]

then headlamp leads to crafting nvgs

so you get nvgs + the headlamp

2 in 1

hold L for headlamp hold N for nvgs

[sick yoke]

Yeah that’s usually the case

[inner basalt]

any other suggestions for what I should take should I bring a pistol or is just lever action good?

[blissful ivy]

Usp45 is nice

And you will need another gun because .357 is a bit expensive for the first day

[inner basalt]

fnp45?

[sick yoke]

Lever action is good as long as you can conserve your limited ammo

[wanton iris]

so now I have ```
black angle (20% chance to reflect bullet damage)
cell (-15% bullet damage taken)
spike (+5% damage for each shot hit in a row)
chimera hide (+5 health regen)

what else should I get

[inner basalt]

should I buy ammo with the points or does the game give me ammo?

[blissful ivy]

It gives some

Just not loads

[sick yoke]

40 bullets of whatever you bring

[blissful ivy]

Sounds like a lot, until you realize how many enemies swamps can have

Even if the rifle 1-2 shots most of them

[inner basalt]

I bought 2 boxes of 357 with my points should I not buy them?

[blissful ivy]

You can, it can help

[sick yoke]

Up to you

That’s like an extra 26 or something

[blissful ivy]

Yeah 13 per box

[inner basalt]

I dont really need meds that bad do I?

ir food

or food

[blissful ivy]

Ibuprofen is good to get with points imo

And a single red medkit

[sick yoke]

The good old “don’t get hit” strategy

[blissful ivy]

But that is valid

[inner basalt]

I could spend it all on fent and just have a good time

[blissful ivy]

[inner basalt]

ok I got a resperator a lever action a 45 armour some ibuprofen and a med kit im set?

[blissful ivy]

Sounds fine

I usually get stuck with the leather jacket as a trade off on hard progression

[inner basalt]

now time to see if my computer struggles to run this game

[blissful ivy]

It shouldnt

There are people running it on old laptops

And you can always go to fps optimization channel

[inner basalt]

ya i have a 3060 and a ryzen 7 5800x3d I think i should be gud

[blissful ivy]

[inner basalt]

I hear my fans revving up

[blissful ivy]

If it struggled, id literally go out and beat the person who made that 3060 with a wrench

Because it shouldnt

Ew fans on auto

I set mine

Manually

[inner basalt]

man this games useing none of my cpu

[blissful ivy]

Funny because its cpu intensive

[inner basalt]

I remember this game useing my cpu way more 2 years ago

99% gpu 11% cpu

[blissful ivy]

Hmm, yeah idk

Its not my job to know everything, i dont even get paid

[gusty cosmos]

i just wish it didn't stutter to all hell every 5 minutes

it's like it's trying to render a 5 billion polygon toothbrush every 5 minutes

[inner basalt]

idk anything about fans so I just let them do there thing

[blissful ivy]

I dont either

I know temps tho

If its above 70? Up the fans a few %

[inner basalt]

my gpu is like 70c atm

[blissful ivy]

I like my components under 70
