[blissful ivy]

65 is ideal

But modern pc components are ok up to 78-low 80s

Cpus can be rated for 90

[inner basalt]

are ok so nothing to worry about

[blissful ivy]

But im not sure thats safe long term

At 90+

[inner basalt]

I also see they finally added back the clothing and backpack animations

[blissful ivy]

Safe operation is <88 if you ask me

[wanton iris]

I have expert tools but no gunsmith/drugmaking/artifact melter, I don't think i can even find enough monolith or sin in the south to get any yellow stashes down there :(

[blissful ivy]

Killing stalkers can yield stashes

So just kill

[inner basalt]

just kill everyone

[blissful ivy]

https://c.tenor.com/e_ZmrjTEyj8AAAAd/tenor.gif

Yeah

[wanton iris]

I already wiped freedom off the map, guess ill go through rostok next

[west heath]

Quick question is there any repercussions if your companion dies?

[celest sparrow]

They're dead

[near estuary]

anon never disappoints

[wanton iris]

if I have two knots active, do they stack? or can you not activate it more then once

[sick yoke]

only 1

[inner basalt]

so its normal stalker shoot head or else u are wasting 30 bullets shooting body?

[sick yoke]

something like that

[wanton iris]

damn I kinda want to get more spikes

+15% damage per shot would be crazy...

[near estuary]

5 spikes + Howa

[inner basalt]

wheres the fps optiomisation chat?

[glossy drift]

#╰⚡fps-optimisation

[wanton iris]

whats howa

[scenic trench]

D-class 5.56 rifle

[gloomy iris]

may i ask how i remove a lamp thats inside a wall?

[wanton iris]

does spike work based on pellet with shotguns?

I might want to do something funny

idk how im even going to get more spikes though

[gloomy iris]

i mean the old keybind was hold f, but thats now that favorite wheel

[inner basalt]

holyshiz getting shot at in this game became way more scary

[wanton iris]

I think next run I do i'll do melee only starting with a bunch of spikes

[inner basalt]

so enemys can still see through bushes?

[blissful ivy]

kinda

i just turn on the npcs cant see through foliage mod in mo2

[gloomy iris]

how can i remove furniture if i get no option in the interaction wheel if i hold f (it is empty)?

[blissful ivy]

what is even causing this issue??

been happening to so many people

i dont get it

[gloomy iris]

issue? i just placed some furniture and now want to remove it. before the interaction wheel i just could hold f and press remove, now i have that wheel that is just empty cause i have no favorites

[thick sedge]

F7 then delete said furniture

also which furniture??

[fossil plinth]

do companions get better over time? like if i have a recruit in my squad and he kills enough stuff will he actually get more accuracy, health etc as he ranks up? i dont think their health scales with armor so is it even worth staying with the same guys for the entire playtrough?

[scenic trench]

huh
a new .357 pistol?
looks simply like a rechambered 1911

[celest sparrow]

Is the replacement of the Coonan

[scenic trench]

and the kimbery replacing the korth then or?

[celest sparrow]

Yeah

[scenic trench]

armsel doesnt take two hours to load anymore?? 🤯
WITCHCRAFT! (still takes 30min tho )

[timber plinth]

Does anyone know where to download this replacer for AK-5С?

[opaque moss]

those are probably the worst graphics I have seen in this server

[glossy oriole]

That’s because you’re not seeing it on an RTX 5090

[celest sparrow]

svol

[scenic trench]

whats that even from

[glossy oriole]

svolker

[quasi lance]

wher my health

[glossy drift]

press h or numpad enter

[celest sparrow]

!busyhands

[dawn marten]

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

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

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

[quasi lance]

its back by itself

[late turret]

are the changes in #📢development implemented in real time if i update the game or is it all released at once with an update?

[dusk vessel]

should be for the next big update

[late turret]

I’m so excited man

Keep cooking grok 🗣️

[thick sedge]

[native pulsar]

vro

😭

[late turret]

merc playthrough started 10 minutes ago... already dry on ammo and i cant even skin the damn thing. GROOOOOK

[dusk vessel]

get the hunting knife

[rare rampart]

It do be like that for us Mercs

2nd day on my Merc run, 2 giants decided to show up in AW

[unkempt glen]

Is there an easy way to make the PDA not look chunky as fuck in 21:9?

I looked up the girth ultrawide mod but it's evidently not being supported anymore

[wanton iris]

im surprised at the lack of artifacts at the generators

[valid loom]

Place is pretty empty aside from the main story line

[silk remnant]

this has something to do with HUD fov, i think

[wanton iris]

wait the lucifer/knot has a stronger effect if its on your belt??

[near estuary]

my man
I don't think it works if you don't have it on your belt

[blissful wharf]

Lads if I'm at maximal relations with a faction then switch to one that's hostile will they shoot at me?

[north plaza]

I don't remember..I think it's kinda unpredictable. If you're wearing the patch probably..if you tore it off and you're wearing the armor maybe not

I wouldn't walk in close proximity to any of them that's for sure

[proper drum]

no

gatekeeper was hostile to me (merc) from day 1 since was chain-aggroed by a squad of loners, so when i was going to radar i disguised as a dutier to talk to him, freedomers did not shoot me.
Same went in my CS run, I've got 1k rep with duty and switched to freedom, I had my base at Rostok and they tolerated me

[blissful wharf]

So totally viable to start as ecologist, get to green relations with free stalkers then switch to either mercs or military and i'll be left alone?

[proper drum]

no

well

[blissful wharf]

[proper drum]

wait i'm trying to process what you wanna do xd

you need only 1k rep so faction stops being hostile as a whole

from ~600 to 1k rep random stalkers from low to high ranks stop being hostile

[blissful wharf]

Get relations with a faction that my original faction is friendly too then switch to a faction that is hostile with the faction I gained relations with and NOT get shot.

[proper drum]

thus you can play isg without disguise and become friends with ecologists by doing neutral nerds who send you to find artis in anomalies

[near estuary]

if you plan on playing the storylines, just start out as the faction you actually want
switching factions can fuck with the story scripting

[proper drum]

that what i explained above

you can start as a renegade, get 1k+ rep with renegades, obviously have max rep with bandits (since renegades are hard to get relations with), then chainswitch to ecologists and nobody will shoot you but antagonistic factions

[blissful wharf]

Issue of course being they can't play it. I might just start out as military and switch to eco or bandits and switch to freedom/mercs.

I don't mind using debug but I don't know if it's actually possible to switch to UNISG and renegades normally is it?

[proper drum]

if you switch to merc after disabling the brainscorcher loners would be hostile xd

and forester won't open the door

[near estuary]

to UNISG, absolutely not

the storyline simply won't happen

renegades is probably fine

[proper drum]

you can't switch to antagonistic factions and renegades (since they do not have a leader) and to loners iirc

you can switch to loners as unisg tho xdd

[near estuary]

really?

[proper drum]

one of the storyline outcomes

[near estuary]

oh

[blissful wharf]

Sort of a unique circumstance innit?

[proper drum]

i won't spoil unisg questline, but it has various endings

and an experience playing unisg without disguise is quite cool

as i explained above you can make ecos friendly but it's some kind of idiotic behaviour sometimes, like i avoided killing ecos and either run, tried to merge them with mutants or in worse case shot them in legs till they fall xd

[light echo]

this stash is impossible to get

[proper drum]

possible

try to lick the right tonnel wall, walk till end and then try to pull on the cliff of the circut shit

[light echo]

i can't go through the pile

[blissful wharf]

I've encountered a few stashes that seem to be 'invisible' up to a fence, wondered the whole time what in the hell I was actually looting since I didn't see anything.

[light echo]

you are experienced!

[proper drum]

your welcome

[wraith mason]

You can also get loners friendly. I did MM and BS even though I didn't have to, and after that I got the Loner - UNISG cease-fire. Now I'm friendly with the mercs, freedom, loners and ecologists.

[proper drum]

i kinda... do not understand, i was speaking about not-disguising at all, and as unisg you need to get documents from both MM and BS, you get psy helm from Hernandez at Jupiter

[wraith mason]

Yeah I did most of my playthrough in disguise. You need to get the documents from the labs but you don't have to disable them afaik? Do you still get the Loner cease-fire if you don't start the MM and BS quest from Sakharov?

[celest sparrow]

No disguise UNISG is such a fun way to experience it

[celest sparrow]

You don't need the quests for Duga Free

[proper drum]

no you don't get a ceasefire, i think being disguised can break some scripts and script for mercs read as "your faction relations sets to 2k with loners", same as if you will be disguised for other faction during afterglow when you need to talk to unisg member, the squad will be hostile untill you turn back to your og faction. I even think if you take the quest and change the faction unisg squad will be hostile.

[wraith mason]

I didn't change factions and I didn't have any issues. I was just using merc and loner disguises to talk to various hostile factions.

[proper drum]

well having 1k rep will turn faction to neutral

and you can't change a faction being unisg and you can't change to other faction that is hostile to your og faction i.g. renegades -> ecos

[inner basalt]

so as long as a gun has a good barrel i cam repair it without tools?

[radiant sage]

Correct

[unkempt elbow]

I believe you can even repair a barrel (as long as its above 60% dura) with a Cleaning kit, if youre lucky enough to get a barrel above 60% that is, and not luckky enough to get 100%

[light echo]

what is the best kit for Remington 700

and why

[thick sedge]

idk I don't use R700 hope that helps

[wraith mason]

Just make a save and try all of them, see which one you like the most. Personally I prefer the magpul.

[rare rampart]

so… you’re just cleaning the barrel.. with said cleaning kit..

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/413533299018039308/1346465283132620830/ezgif-744dc9f80c2adb.gif

[unkempt elbow]

I think i may have misread the previous message.

[rare rampart]

any

[rare rampart]

same stats, different form cool factor

i think

[near estuary]

imo, the one that gives it the 20 round mag

[rare rampart]

oh ye

[near estuary]

mag size is basically the only difference between those kits

[rare rampart]

i just remembered the archangel exist

man its been long since i use sniper rifles

anyways

[rare rampart]

anything below 60% you’re fucked and need a weapon repair kit to replace the barrel

[inner basalt]

what does low condition even do to wepons other than jamming

[wraith mason]

If the barrel is in shit condition it will reduce damage

[rare rampart]

you do pee pee poo poo amount of damage

[inner basalt]

do bolt action rifles jam?

[near estuary]

yes

[inner basalt]

intresting

[thick sedge]

what if I love pee pee

inb4 stalker chat be like:

[frank oxide]

[rare rampart]

[scenic trench]

what does reticle illumination even do?
is that like the contrast upgrade on some snipers?

[hollow wadi]

Ain't that just "You can see your crosshair in the dark"

[scenic trench]

no idea

[hollow wadi]

Tap = to find out

[radiant sage]

Some reticles change to red instead of black

Godsent because you otherwise can't really see the reticle properly

Also let's you choose reticle colour / type for some sights like the okp

[latent elbow]

Imagine we use 100% of our brain

[inner basalt]

is stealth a option in this game?

[hollow wadi]

Barely

If not looking at you, you can slow walk behind dudes

[inner basalt]

are suppresors silent or are they realistic?

[near estuary]

not really

or at least not reliably

and reliability/consistency is a backbone of any stealth system

[near estuary]

I guess you could say realistic

[inner basalt]

trying to find ways around the fact i have awful aim

[near estuary]

they do reduce noise but not as much as in other games

[near estuary]

stealth will provide you an opportunity for one headshot at most cuz then the rest of the enemies will aggro and begin their unpredictable shuffling around

that's really all stealth is good for

[inner basalt]

so just keep save scumming untill my aim isnt shit

[near estuary]

getting one kill and then shooting the rest

[near estuary]

I guess...

is it actually an aim issue or gear issue?

[inner basalt]

maybe both

im still in starter stuff

i managed to clear out 2 camps with only a few deaths

[near estuary]

cuz if you're trying to kill an exo with ironsights at 50 meters and you only have a shitty pistol then no amount of skill will save you

[inner basalt]

im 1 or 2 shotting stuff just sometimes they kill me before i can hit them

[near estuary]

that's normal

[inner basalt]

so just keep playing and it will happen less as i get used to it?

[little summit]

Spray and pray

[lost bridge]

Hello sdalgers

[little summit]

That's why i love big mags

[inner basalt]

spraying with a lever action might be a struggle

[little summit]

Well

[lost bridge]

It seems Grok is looking into that "GL finding me bug"

[little summit]

That's why i switched to nato battle rifles from svds

But bolt actions are good early game

Cuz they're precise af

[inner basalt]

i do not have access to those yet

[near estuary]

just get a generic AR or an SKS

average engagement distance is like 20 meters anyway

[inner basalt]

is there any wepon upgrades i should be looking for or just uograde to any gun i can find with a good barrel?

[near estuary]

weapon upgrades are pretty minimal

[inner basalt]

main upgrade is diffrent ammo types right?

[near estuary]

yeah you could say that

also mag size and firerate

!whatthegundoin

[dawn marten]

@near estuary read this: #╭📖faq message

[inner basalt]

is my gpu being used to full but my cpu basically not being used normal?

[wild hatch]

Lmao the game uses like 1 core (optional)

[inner basalt]

can i not increase the amount of cores it uses?

[near estuary]

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1467056699683770379

but it brings its own issues

and multithreading is still weak

[inner basalt]

so u are saying i should just play the game as is?

[near estuary]

yep

[inner basalt]

fair enough

why would a game only run 1 core is that just how games was back in the day?

[near estuary]

yes

you gotta remember that X-RAY was created in the early 2000s

[inner basalt]

did cpus only have 1 core in 2000s?

[near estuary]

and every stalker mod since has been running on a fork of it

[near estuary]

first dual core was like 2005 or something like that

"Wait, SoC came out in 2007."

yes.

[inner basalt]

ah ok so multi cores are fairly new

[near estuary]

cuz it was delayed again and again

[inner basalt]

fair

does my character heal naturally or do I need use meds?

[near estuary]

you total HP gets slowly restored at campfires

not limbs tho

[inner basalt]

I can heal at the medical guys?

[near estuary]

that also
but it costs money

[inner basalt]

cheaper than useing meds though right?

[near estuary]

iirc yes

tho I never use BHS

[inner basalt]

bhs?

[near estuary]

body health system

[inner basalt]

u have a diffrent mod?

[near estuary]

I just think it's annoying pseudorealism

[near estuary]

nope, I just run the good old HP bar

[inner basalt]

ah fair enough I like the body system i would prefer something more indepth but the body system is good enough for me

[near estuary]

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1137162280816099450

[inner basalt]

looks intresting maybe I will run that next run

[rigid stream]

make le bhs more "tarkov-like" even further

[warped comet]

any idea where this stash is? there is nothing on the ground here so idk maybe its a bug

[near estuary]

!ms

[dawn marten]

@warped comet
An ongoing bug causes some stashes to spawn on random objects, anomalies or NPC's, resulting in the loss of any items they might've held.

To identify if the stash is indeed bugged you can do this:

1. Disable Areas above the PDA Map to remove white circles around locations
2. Right Click the stash marker on your PDA Map
3. Select Set Waypoint
4. Right Click the waypoint you just added
5. Select Waypoint Settings
6. Enable Show waypoints marker on HUD
7. Press OK
8. The on-screen waypoint will point towards the stash

[warped comet]

naah can't even put waypoint on it, btw its stash form enemy stalker pda maybe thats why its bugged

[near estuary]

guess it's bugged then

[inner basalt]

is there a button to steady my gun to stop swaying?

[wraith mason]

Nah. If your stamina bar is full and your arms are not damaged, that's the best aim you have.

[near estuary]

nope, as draku says

tho weapon weight is also a contributor

[rigid stream]

also crouching

[near estuary]

so use lighter guns ig

[rigid stream]

i'd wish the hold breath actually function properly. (weapon sway mod from moddb)

is way too crash-triggerhappy

[near estuary]

[hollow wadi]

Weapon sway is also largely cosmetic

[rigid stream]

rarely a problem.

unless theres people trying to "snipe" people at decently far ranges

and i do admit, is so much of a pain in the ass waiting for the sway pattern to time it right with someone's skull before shooting

[tranquil apex]

I have a question about upcoming big patch. Will it change armor & weapon repair system and body health system?

[inner basalt]

my rf receiver thing is like off my screen how do I bring it up like I see the speaker but the numbers are too low

[tranquil apex]

this panel the newbies chat panel disappear when I click on another panel. is it the same for everyone?

[wanton iris]

I wish gamma was more performant, all it takes is one or two mods and suddenly im stuttering and at 30fps :(

[inner basalt]

u could disable some of the visual mods couldn't u?

[wanton iris]

im trying

[frank oxide]

depends what you add

[wanton iris]

two gun mods, two artifact mods, and skills expantion

[rigid stream]

my ass betting hes adding redone stuff or that siski

[subtle jewel]

Well first, you should identify what's bottle necking your setup, if you're CPU bound or GPU bound, that'll inform if you're asking too much of your GPU or if you're running mods too costly in scripts

[rigid stream]

ok i guess not.

[frank oxide]

which artifact mods

[wanton iris]

klondaik

and artefact limb healing

[frank oxide]

well idk if klondaik has any performance issues

could be just that you had a bad game launch, it happens

sometimes this shit just locks itself to 10fps on the renderer you picked

try avx off
or if you already had that, then avx on

[brisk anvil]

Hi, is there any differences between Sins and Monolith? like Does sins has it's own quest line?

[frank oxide]

the difference is starting loadout and sin being neutral to mutants

the rest is the exact same

no storyline, no goal, no nothing

you just run around shooting stuff

until you eventually realize that the faction is dogshit and go back to playing loner

[brisk anvil]

oh, thanks, i did not know Sins is neutral to mutants

[wanton iris]

I wish gamma didnt take 3 years to start

[frank oxide]

that's what 550 mods and thousand scripts do to a game

base anomaly launches in a jiffy

[glossy drift]

Hopefully maybe we'll get reverse Mortal Sin, like we have reverse Operation Glow

[little summit]

Engine issue

[glossy drift]

Base Anomaly uses the same engine and boots much faster, it's the mods

[inner basalt]

how do I heal limbs and stuff I forgot

[frank oxide]

or lack of proper file management and optimization of everything within the pack

a huge chunk of it is just bloated with stuff that might not even be used

[frank oxide]

!heal

[dawn marten]

@inner basalt A quick video about how to basic heal yourself: #╭📖faq message

[glossy drift]

I mean same difference, it's not the engine per se

[little summit]

I'm not using anomaly engine and it takes me 10-20 seconds to load

[glossy drift]

You using MT or the funny engine ?

[little summit]

Yes the funny

[glossy drift]

I guess the multithreading does help

[wanton iris]

where can I get a mod that fixes the engine smh

[little summit]

I'm not legally allowed to discuss it here, i had one timeout already

!1984

[dawn marten]

⠀

[little summit]

Try #1035807043933720576 idk

Haven't tried their engines

[frank oxide]

you can try #1467056699683770379

[inner basalt]

a blood sucker came running at me he fell into a grabby anomaly and while I was laughing I ran into one as well

whats even the point of vehicles in darkscape

they are too dangerous to use imo the road shouldn't have anomalys

[hollow wadi]

Your fear is palpable
The trick is to drive until your shit is rocked by an anomaly
Then you walk to the next car

[subtle jewel]

Just slow down and dodge them. Beats the alternative of just running around

[inner basalt]

I cant see these anomaly in this little tractor I can bearly see out of it

[placid root]

hold W and pray to the wish granter u make it thru

[wanton iris]

imma try warfare mode

(melee only ofc)

[near estuary]

https://tenor.com/view/freddy-fazbear-freddy-thrust-is-a-must-fredrick-fazlington-gif-15921407356621323037

[inner basalt]

how do I swap ammo

[hollow wadi]

Y

[wanton iris]

how does warefare work exactly

[dusk vessel]

spawns so many mobs your game goes down to 10 fps within minuites

[inner basalt]

how does this dead night quest work it tells me to find out what killing ppl in dark scape but what am I looking for?

[dusk vessel]

go there at night

like 0-3 am

[inner basalt]

I am here at night

[dusk vessel]

not gonna spoil you but if youre playing ironman avoid it

[inner basalt]

i killed a blood sucker thought that was it but it didnt update

im not on iron man

[dusk vessel]

then give it a try its a fun quest

people have had trouble spawning the quest

[inner basalt]

ye im here in dark scape walking around unsure what im ment to do

[dusk vessel]

its supposed to be in the woods towards the southwest

dont know exactly which time but after midnight

might need to leave darkscape and reenter

[inner basalt]

been here so long its now 4am so ig I missed it now?

[dusk vessel]

probably

but you can come back next night

just bring ammo lol

[inner basalt]

giant?

[dusk vessel]

find out yourself

more fun that way

[inner basalt]

the adars a type b wepon? It doesnt look like a type b wepon

[proper drum]

Same reason vss c tier

[inner basalt]

type b is the worst right or is that type a?

[scenic trench]

it is because its not automatic (for players anyway)

[dusk vessel]

there is very good type a or b guns

its just the repair tier

[inner basalt]

I ment basic kits

[hollow wadi]

Don't treat the letters like a tier list

It's just repair kit classification

[inner basalt]

is type b and a basic tool kits?

[dusk vessel]

some very very strong guns are b/a tier

like a ks23 or glock 19 hornet

[hollow wadi]

Yes

[scenic trench]

yes
you can make those with basic tools

[dusk vessel]

type c is advanced

[inner basalt]

ah ok

[dusk vessel]

type d is expert

you wont be getting expert until you reach the north

[inner basalt]

ok

[dusk vessel]

forester mark 2 also

[inner basalt]

I got a cool looking smg that was a and thought that I couldnt use it any time soon

so good to know

[dusk vessel]

no you can repair those quite easily

9x19 smgs are meant to be earlygame weapons

and theyre good weapons, if you wanted to you could keep using them in the north too

[inner basalt]

smgs can be put in the melee slot cant they?

[dusk vessel]

only PDW

such as the mp7, p90, sr2m

[inner basalt]

pk

ok

[glossy drift]

unless you get a mod for other smgs 👀

[dusk vessel]

those are type c weapons

and very good ones

[dusk vessel]

realistically you could edit the .ltx of weapons to make them one handed

[glossy drift]

true

[inner basalt]

I remember last time I played a few years ago I really enjoyed the 308 assult rofles

[dusk vessel]

they do a lot of damage yeah

[waxen plinth]

and mp7 is rarer than RPG

could be my luck though

[dusk vessel]

nah

the gun is super rare

ive only found it twice

vector once

[scenic trench]

hmm
do the aug kits actually boost its performance or just flavor te-
oh
thought it was for 556 aug

[waxen plinth]

freedomers seem to have them in this patch

[glossy drift]

found mp7 in one run only, rpg every run

[rigid stream]

i found it 4 times on a single .45 fmj only run

1 from freedom. the rest are monoliths

[dusk vessel]

i got mine from a merc or isg

legend only spawns i think

[languid oak]

never found one because of my great rng luck

[scenic trench]

mp7?
no, think its veteran or expert up?
still super rare tho

[analog palm]

sr3 is better anyway

[inner basalt]

the brugger and thomet mp9 is good right?

[dusk vessel]

its probably the best 9x19 smg

because it has such a high rate of fire while being controlleable

[proper drum]

can be found on mid-rank ecos, any rank isg, high rank mercs/monos

[proper drum]

forester is just busted, and this gun has the most upgrades in the game kinda 😄 base karabiner +80k = forester mk2 + ~30k = can have 7k supressor + 120k thermals

[dusk vessel]

if forester mark 2 had any sort of ap rounds it would be my lategame gun

7.92x57 has ballistics simmilar to a .338 lapua or 308

makes no sense the ap has 38

[scenic trench]

"BALANCE!!!111!!"
or smtg

[blissful ivy]

The mosin with the 7N14 rounds

42 pen or smth

Both are B kit

[rigid stream]

7.92 got nerfed to oblivion for a long time and never recovered since,

[dusk vessel]

yeah its criminal

pen does matter for a bolt action

having to shoot the same guy 3 times in the head isnt optimal

[proper drum]

penetration enjoyers

[dusk vessel]

real

just plaster him with 27 9x19 fmj to the torso

cheaper and more reliable

[scenic trench]

"nightsword custom"?
oh, strayer replacement?

[wanton iris]

Does the spike perk artifact work with each pellet of a shotgun?

[frank oxide]

yep

same goes for stuff like dragon eye

[rigid stream]

it is also interesting that missing on melees won't punish you but hitting them with it still give stacks

[wanton iris]

That's the main reason I'm doing an melee only run right now lol

[inner basalt]

so basic tools are rng right just need get lucky with a stash?

[wanton iris]

Do some shotguns have more pellets then others?

[inner basalt]

shoot a wall with some shotguns and get counting

[wanton iris]

Somewhat, but you can get a higher chance to get basic tools in the south

!tools

[inner basalt]

so youre saying I should move my butt into rostok?

rostok

[wanton iris]

Idk why the bot isn't working rn

[inner basalt]

so ya i really should move all my stuff up the map before I get too fat

[cerulean fable]

You know I've been thinking. Am I crazy, or in every other version of the merged stalker games before Anomaly, wasn't Zaton in the south?

CoC, Misery, I really feel like I remember being able to start the game in Zaton

[frank oxide]

It was always north unless there was some mod that changed map layout

@atomic pebble would know

[atomic pebble]

Road To The North has Zaton at the right side of the Cordon, the first main quest lead u to that map

[cerulean fable]

Okay so it's Stalker 2 that moved it to the south? I've never played it

[frank oxide]

yep

[cerulean fable]

Bizarre

[frank oxide]

They merged swamps and zaton

And moved it to the right

[cerulean fable]

Oh that's fucking weird

They're distinct

[frank oxide]

CoP in general doesn’t make sense with SoC and CS map, because they retconned the placement of the NPP to be how it is irl

So placement of Zaton was always just… odd

[quasi lance]

Vpered brat'ya !
Za Monolit

[atomic pebble]

"Watcha this swamp"
"Ohh, what i have to watcha?"
"Watcha this other swamp"
"I watcha"
"Would be soooo fucking cool amazing inmersion survival horror open world seamless map atmospheric logical intelligence maxxing merge these two swamps brat"
"Idk brat, i don't care, these guys just pay me for do the thingis that em want"
"Cool"

put em besides the other
merge em
after des-merge em

[frank oxide]

S2 map in general will have oddities like that because that’s how open world games are - open areas with landmarks scattered about

Majority of the playable area is just an open field with trees and shit
The notable landmarks you seen in the enclosed but dense maps of the trilogy were spread around or even moved halfway down the map separate from their original location

[atomic pebble]

CoP map and location placement sucks

Well, Jupiter Plant it's a proper placement

[frank oxide]

The south to north layout would look weird so they stretched it and moved locations around

[radiant sage]

One thing I'm curious to see is how they'll implement the jupiter factory, if / when they do

I know it's already mostly there in the worldspace

[atomic pebble]

Zaton should be above "Chernobyl Town"

[frank oxide]

reminded me of that screenshot of zaton merged into yantar

[atomic pebble]

where

https://tenor.com/view/jgmm-cat-meme-ragebait-cat-think-cat-ponder-gif-7034802297606826390

[frank oxide]

CoP end slides

[atomic pebble]

Poop game

"Bratva, we have to delete Dead City from the global map, what we can use for that the area don't be smth empty"
"mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm"
"U should use Zaton brat, nobody is going to notice it"

[radiant sage]

How weird

[atomic pebble]

GSC should have been copupasted these two, because em already use em for copypastes in SoC and CS global map

[frank oxide]

CoC map is what CoP should’ve been

GSC lazy bums

[atomic pebble]

me when CoPe:

[frank oxide]

COPium should be the name of a mod that fixes and makes CoP into a great experience

[radiant sage]

Hahaha

Incredible

[sage schooner]

reminds me of gmod alot

[lethal steeple]

they're based on the same place

[pulsar mountain]

Bought and installed a new ssd just for gamma

Gamma time

[lavish forge]

are there any mods for anomaly that make the wildlife behave like in soc? (doesnt instantly aggro you from a kilometer)

[near estuary]

[atomic pebble]

No

Zaton and Marsh are based into different places

[near estuary]

uhhh
they don't instantly aggro?

[atomic pebble]

Zaton is a mix of areas from Chernobyl (the town), and a BIT of areas from the river above pripyat (like these machines)

Marsh it's based in a swamp near GSC Offices and a bit in the MARSH below the "real agroprom"

[near estuary]

https://tenor.com/view/eagle-i-caught-that-reference-eagle-catching-ball-gif-16658554291281102391

elite ball knowledge

[lavish forge]

they basically do in anomaly

[near estuary]

mutant behavior is basically the same as in the trilogy

they either run at you or they don't

shoot up a dog pack and the last one will run away

that's still a thing

[lethal steeple]

dogs being territorial unless accompanied by a pseudodog is gone since clear sky

[near estuary]

also, gunshots telegraph your position
inb4 "I blast an SR-25 without a silencer in Outskirts and 5 Chimeras run at me to bite my balls off"

this is the "real zaton"

change it then

wtf is that

[atomic pebble]

Stalker would have been much better if GSC taked a lot of faithful sovl to the real zone, less retarded hills, less retarded mountains, less retarded level design, a zone more faithful, better level design

[near estuary]

freddy fivebear

[blissful ivy]

a whole 3 pixels

[inner basalt]

do I take damage if im overweight?

[blissful ivy]

looks like a damn chicken nugget

[near estuary]

no

[blissful ivy]

heart damage maybe

clogged arteries too possibly

[inner basalt]

im taking damage every few seconds and idk why

[atomic pebble]

A few days ago i realised that Cordon has wayyyy more hills that i remember, that's sooo ugly brat

[inner basalt]

do i take damage if im yellow tired?

[atomic pebble]

The Zone DON'T need many hills

[near estuary]

stalker would have been much better if it wasn't made by GSC

[blissful ivy]

idk just chug energy drinks

[near estuary]

imagine 2000s ubisoft made it

[blissful ivy]

[near estuary]

absolute fucking peak

[lethal steeple]

i don't mind hills they're there to hide the map boundaries

i wouldn't wish a seamless open world on my worst enemy

[near estuary]

yeah, the map is one of the smaller issues with the games tbh

[atomic pebble]

there many hills in non-border areas

[lethal steeple]

i don't see how the map is an issue either like besides cop maps and the power plant sides

but those are just byproduct victims of freeplay

[near estuary]

CNPP is ass because you weren't meant to play on 99% of it

[lethal steeple]

the npp has always been just a setpiece map so you don't get anything to do there in freeplay

[atomic pebble]

That will be fixed in Lost World and x other mod

[lethal steeple]

cop maps were ripe with sidequests and things tucked away

[near estuary]

kinda fell off with Outskirts

[lethal steeple]

yeah cause the game ends there

[near estuary]

you loot the expert tools and that's kinda it

[lethal steeple]

90% of the content is in previous parts

[near estuary]

playing vanilla CoP rn

it's alright

just as I remember

[atomic pebble]

CNPP in Lost World is going to have more open interiors, a bit of Cooling Towers, Iron Forest, Sarcophagous, Warlab, Generators

[radiant sage]

I think my problem with the CoP maps is that in freeplay you have fuckall reason to go to any of the locations that were ripe with the side content

[near estuary]

the whole military squad in pripyat commited suicide with their own grenades as usual

[blissful ivy]

that applies to literally every location in this game

[near estuary]

I mean, yeah, the map that was made with scripted story events in mind is bad without those scripted story events

[radiant sage]

Just more egregious with the CoP maps since they're bigger

[near estuary]

Darkscape

[radiant sage]

All my homies hate darkscape

[lethal steeple]

which was also a setpiece

[atomic pebble]

That would be fixed if the sandbox aspect of the game it's enhanced, better A-Life, better freeplay quests, more variety of events, itself more reasons to feel that don't there just 3 types of freeplay quests

[lethal steeple]

but nobody bats an eye at either cnpp south or north

when they're both larger than the darkscape and have less things to do

[near estuary]

yeah because almost everyone stops the playthrough at that point

[radiant sage]

I literally never go to the cnpp outside of the questlines is the thing

[near estuary]

case in point

[atomic pebble]

I lobe this Darkscape

[radiant sage]

So you go through it like twice and that's it

[atomic pebble]

In MLR Last_Dawn added some interiors but the map in general isn't sooo different, now is somehow of generators because that map doens't exists in MLR 10

[gentle grove]

hmm...

[rose plover]

that looks quite misaligned but thats just my guess

[gentle grove]

That is, in fact, the issue. for some reason the PK1 sight on the Saiga 12 is misaligned

[rose plover]

I think there might be a mod that lets you manually like move your sights around..
i had an issue with the VSS where the OKP-7 sight is straight up not even in front of you while aiming

people told me to use that mod but i forgot the name ):

[sage schooner]

a little sag is 100% natural

[gentle grove]

Thats what I thought too, but I knew something was up when my gunsmith said "oh fuck" under his breath when he diagnosed it

how do I recharge a PSU?

[scenic trench]

buy/loot exo batteries and put them in

[wanton iris]

how does one capture areas in warfare

[north ibex]

its ok man mine sags to the right instead of the left its normal

[gentle grove]

PSUs are different from exo patteries?

[wanton iris]

nvm turns out i spawned ages away from where I should've

[wanton iris]

I absolutly despise stalkers just ignoring anomalies and casually walking through them while fighting

[lament lynx]

https://youtu.be/wnxtB489p1g?si=xw172dDN8Yu2lYPG

[warped comet]

will be there any new guns or suits in upcoming updatE?

[fervent tartan]

Now people should know where cwwp assets has been allocated.

[marble river]

new game + added yet?

[inner basalt]

no matter how many times I go through one i always feel a little spooked when a emission comes

[wanton iris]

man warfare is weird

I enabled all out warfare and spawned in as sin, and sin seems to be the only faction currently

as in I cant see any other factions, only sin on the leaderbaord, and I have fog of war off

[inner basalt]

should I base in rostok or the army base?

[wanton iris]

alright 3rd time starting warfare, this time I actually followed instructions

[wanton iris]

I hope warfare eventually gets fixed

[blissful ivy]

never will

was an afterthought from the beginning

if it was important enough to be fixed, it would have been fixed like 2 years ago

[wanton iris]

:(

[inner basalt]

I forgot hip gave u basic tools for free

[atomic pebble]

https://tenor.com/view/shocked-cat-shock-shocked-flabbergasted-surprised-gif-6472373116831647779

[inner basalt]

should I give my first set of basic tools to a gunsmoth so I can buy the gunkits?

how do I use this field repair kit to fix my armour?

[wanton iris]

damn fights in warfare are fucking massive

i dont think I can do melee only...

how do i re-enable my hud?

I hit they keybind and forgot what it was

[reef ore]

H I think

[spare pawn]

Does anyone know how to debug quests to finish them? Pretty sure one of mine is stuck

[warped comet]

which one?

[spare pawn]

Spring Cleaning. I've lowered the spawn rate and gone around in god mode killing every bandit in the cordon but they keep spawning. Sometimes they spawn in the same area and I have to wait for a new bandit to actually appear so I can kill them

But I've got a bigger issue all of a sudden, might have busyhands Lmao

No its fine

But yeah quest is still

Bugged

[quasi lance]

Me when minecraft spawns 3 thousand pigs in a single area

[gloomy iris]

if i want to remove placed furniture and hold f i get no option to do so any idea?

[wanton iris]

does it matter if knot/lucifer is on my belt or in my backpack?

[mighty siren]

hold shift + f

[wanton iris]

turns out the artifact that makes your bullets explode + a ks-23 = dying if someone is closer then 20m

[light echo]

That fireball anomaly in wild territory is so damn annoying

Like at least the damage should be equal to the normal fire anomaly

I lost my Invictus play through because I misclalated it's a move while hunting for artifact

Literally one shoted me

[blissful ivy]

just dont get hit

it goes in a predictable path

every time

[light echo]

Yes and i always have a plan to path but i was in artifact hunting so had to break that plan and got hit

Idk what to tell you but it's just i can't be doing two things at the same time watching out for myself and hunt for that artifact

I mean for a moving anomaly it gets considerably hard

[wanton iris]

I have my stalker pop set to 0.25 and it still might be too much for warfare...

[gloomy iris]

thanks!

[quasi lance]

What artifact

[wanton iris]

dragons eye i think, 5% chance for shots to be explosive

turns out it makes every pellet in a shot explosive when it triggers

[quasi lance]

_>

Y e e s h

[novel ruin]

Got a question about the bunker in the generators, whats the code to the underground bulkhead?

[gloomy iris]

can someone tell me where this stash is? inside the npp?

[celest sparrow]

in the sarcophagus yes

[wanton iris]

how does influence work in warfare

[blissful ivy]

idk man no one really plays it

[near estuary]

!warfare

[dawn marten]

@wanton iris
G.A.M.M.A. isn't built with Warfare in mind, and Warfare is known for bad performance, bugs, and various issues, which is why it is not recommended.

You are free to play it if you wish, but please understand that support for Warfare-related issues will not be provided in our support channels.

[celest zinc]

Damn eidolon died pretty easy

Maybe cus me amd strelok jumped him in a staircase

[blissful ivy]

you can kill him with anything so

you can use a PM if you like, but its possibly the slowest way

any assault rifle kills fast

[valid loom]

https://tenor.com/view/tf2-heavy-meet-the-heavy-bullet-outsmart-bullet-gif-20206045

[celest zinc]

Well yeah i knew that but i was expecting him to eat hella bullets

[sudden heron]

How's it goin lads

[celest zinc]

Good thing he put himself in a nice spot to be obliterated lmao

I almost blasted streloks brains out tho

In other news i finally found a p90 that accepts optics

[sudden heron]

A ball of sentient lightning just zoomed past me at highway speeds
I almost pissed myself

[celest zinc]

The fixed dot one at least had its reticle replaced by a dot so u can actually see out the thing

[celest zinc]

Truck cemetery?

[sudden heron]

Bingo.

[celest zinc]

Was going to loot a body, entered a building, UNISG Nosorog dude just chilling in the corner

[sudden heron]

Met those guys a couple times.
Not a fan.

[celest zinc]

Savescum the nosorog off them

Youll need scav levels tho

[sudden heron]

Noted.

Ugh fuckin' finally some basic tools

[thick sedge]

ugh

[sick yoke]

you don't need scav levels it just makes it easier

[celest zinc]

oh damn i thought they didnt come becus the squad was too big lmao

[pallid mountain]

whoa efp is getting an update

[fallen atlas]

Yes

And honestly EFP update makes me realize GAMMA should make its own weapon pack and ditch BaS

mfs at EFP will have attachable laser sights and flashlights.

[near estuary]

cool but you have a headlamp

also that new hud is a bit funky

especially the BHS

the circular gauges I can vibe with

[glossy oriole]

I hope they make the guns feel punchier

But I agree the hud is definitely… interesting…

[frank oxide]

i like it

i was interested in a GTA4 style health hud, but also have BHS as bars around the minimap

I think it looks fine, it’s be better if there were 5 icon bubbles for a symmetrical look

[near estuary]

eh, as long as it's large/readable enough, I'm fine with most huds

[frank oxide]

its kinda like a merge between GTA4 and RDR2 with Tarkov

[near estuary]

man I'm kinda thinking about playing rdr2 again

maybe in the summer

[sick yoke]

Efp update before gta6 or something idk

[fallen atlas]

Personally I'd reduce it's size to like, 75% what it currently is.
Right now it feels too big.
Also maybe put the bhs inside the circle on top of the compass?
Less clutter

[frank oxide]

BHS in a circle would be interesting but maybe a bit hard to view

Unless it’s be just a quick view version while full BHS would be in the inventory?

[fallen atlas]

oooh yeah that works

[frank oxide]

it would fit the minimalistic aesthetic rather than having a full body blob next to the compass, stands out too much

[fallen atlas]

On EFP server they already heard the hud comments and will adjust it before final release.
As for the doll, it's controlled by a separate config

In MCM

[frank oxide]

Or go full on the minimalism, while giving different limb damage their own color

Sorta like gun parts

Yellow = 60% limb health etc etc

[analog palm]

will it have pkp

the machine gun

[glossy oriole]

no

only pkp the pistol

[analog palm]

cock

[frank oxide]

short barrel, no attachment rail, no stock, 50 round box

[fallen atlas]

So this?

[frank oxide]

tiny PkP

[frank oxide]

Well… yes

If i missed it in the video then sorry
Most of the time i glanced at hud it looked like it only drained main health

[analog palm]

i hope you explode

[fallen atlas]

Nah it's fine it's hard to miss
When playing on your own you'd probably pay attention to the limbs changing colours and shit.

[frank oxide]

[fallen atlas]

But yeah Haruka confirmed the BHS doll can be moved and resized in MCM

[frank oxide]

[analog palm]

real question is

can bhs be disabled

[frank oxide]

editing BHS in mcm is huge, dealing with xml edits was annoying

[fallen atlas]

Very true

... Okay so quick question.
Does New Game+ Enhanced (Character Transfer mod) just let me create a new character with debug mode on, grab custom gear and then import it for a new save that will be invictus friendly?

[fast pasture]

Does anyone know how to make the rooms in this tower be able to be saved in?

i cant place a campfire in there either

[blissful ivy]

isnt it emission safe up top?

[fallen atlas]

Only option is disabling yacs in MCM when you want to save in there.

[blissful ivy]

so it should be fine

oh yeah no yacs being a shitass mod as usual

[fast pasture]

havent tested it

[fallen atlas]

Nobody bothered marking the spot as a safe zone

[blissful ivy]

campfire saves are so goofy, campfires are all over the damn place

its basically just Inconvenient Saving™

[fallen atlas]

Campfire saves are all fun and games until you go to a location with like a single campfire

[blissful ivy]

meadow moment

generators

CNPP N and S

[fallen atlas]

Either that or Dynamic Anomalies Overhaul or Zone Customization Project puts a fucking radiation field or anomaly on top of the campfire so you cant activate it without dying

[fast pasture]

shame it seemed like such a cool area for a base

[blissful ivy]

the ever formidable "Delete Dynamic Anomalies" button

[blissful ivy]

its a great area

just disable YACS

[fast pasture]

shoudve tested it before i brought in 600kg of loot

[blissful ivy]

and its good

JUST TURN OFF YACS

[fallen atlas]

I just always disable YACS.
It's a dumb mechanic.

[blissful ivy]

anomalies almost never spawn up there

it may happen

[fallen atlas]

Fuck you mean

[blissful ivy]

but like i said, open MCM > DAO > Delete DAO

[blissful ivy]

ive had a rebounder spawn on the stairs

only once

but still

[fallen atlas]

Amazing

[blissful ivy]

lovely

never been more angry about a death btw

[fallen atlas]

I feel like someone should make a custom version of DAO/Arrival that instead of relying on smart terrains has hand placed anomaly zones that can activate/deactivate on emissions.

[blissful ivy]

more effort tho

[fallen atlas]

Yeah but that way you can ensure the random anomalies don't spawn in areas they shouldn't appear in.

[blissful ivy]

yeah, you could

[fallen atlas]

Alas

[blissful ivy]

but people are too busy porting yet ANOTHER tarkov gun

you dont get it

we NEED another tarkov gun

[blissful ivy]

yes, we need another 4 more AKs

come on guys

more AKs

item bloat

[fallen atlas]

Nah what we need is to remove all weapons in GAMMA and make a brand new weapon pack that will have consistent style and features

[analog palm]

disable bhs, dao, yacs, fast travel limiter, shorter emission/storms, weapon cover tilt, bnvg, headlamp animations, skinning animations, backpack animations, 3d pda

and uhhh

probably more but those are what i do first thing

[fallen atlas]

Why disable 3D PDA?

[analog palm]

brother i open pda like 7 times a minute

it's annoying as shit

[fallen atlas]

[blissful ivy]

womp womp

[analog palm]

and in some lighting conditions nigh invisible

[blissful ivy]

skill issue

just remember some shit

[fast pasture]

I like being immersed

[analog palm]

nuhuh

[blissful ivy]

THIS GUY DOESNT CHANGE BATTERIES

[analog palm]

what the fuck are batteries

[blissful ivy]

PDA is always visible if its charged

[fallen atlas]

fuckin
The PDA screen is illuminated

If you don't change batteries it'll get dim

Then shut down

[blissful ivy]

and if theres too much light... just turn.

[analog palm]

there's too much light yes

[blissful ivy]

JUST TURN

or move 3 feet to the left

or right

[analog palm]

nuh uh

[fallen atlas]

"I am too bothered to

ROTATE"

[blissful ivy]

this is a sab approved issue

this issue stems from sab syndrome

[analog palm]

speaking of batteries

[blissful ivy]

are they your favorite snack?

[mental furnace]

at that point bro play call of chernobyl instead

[blissful ivy]

you gah damn goof

[analog palm]

i sometimes forget they exist

2d pda doesnt consume charge

and i dont use lamps and nvgs

well, rarely use

so i end up having multiple kg worth of em piled up

[blissful ivy]

how?

[analog palm]

loot goblin

[blissful ivy]

how many batteries do you pick up to gather more than 1 kg

i pick up every battery i see

yet i still have less than 0.25

max

[bronze needle]

stacking a lot

[analog palm]

i had 100+ military medkits at one point cuz i stopped getting hit but kept crafting them

out of habit

[blissful ivy]

as i said, i kill, steal and pillage more than anything but still have less than 1kg

[fallen atlas]

Don't tell them about Fatal Error forcing you to carry multiple types of batteries because some devices take AAA AA or A

[blissful ivy]

yeah idk how you do this

[analog palm]

i just described how

[blissful ivy]

tedium: the mod

[analog palm]

stop getting hit, but keep crafting/looting them out of habit

[blissful ivy]

yeah, but this just means youre dumb

or blind

[bronze needle]

its called "realism" XD

[blissful ivy]

[blissful ivy]

tedium

inventory bloat

realism in a game with special rocks that make you bulletproof

sure thing

[analog palm]

this is what i feel like about the things i disable lol

tedium

[bronze needle]

bro is taking the joke too seriously

[blissful ivy]

or a game with a literal portable railcannon that just kills people in one shot

[analog palm]

immersion is not something i ever cared about

[blissful ivy]

[blissful ivy]

idk i just think its a dumb thing and some people actually mean it

[fallen atlas]

No wait guys I think this guy achieved a new level of skill.
Bro stopped getting hit

[blissful ivy]

so its hard to tell

[bronze needle]

fair enough

[analog palm]

that and leave regen up to artis

medkits start piling up

[blissful ivy]

because ive seen way too many people say some super stupid shit, then double down UNIRONICALLY which is funny and sad

[mental furnace]

Fort night

[fallen atlas]

We need artefacts that instead of negating damage just make bullets have a chance of missing you entirely.

[bronze needle]

well realism is cool bu too much realism can kill the fun so yeah no i dont actually want to have AAA, AA, A batteries depending on the device (or we can add the round batteries too since we want ReAlIsMe)

[blissful ivy]

dont.

we dont need payday 2 dodge builds

thats my limit

[blissful ivy]

no please

[bronze needle]

how about an artefact that changes bullets into small rabbits when they hit u ?

[fallen atlas]

"This gravitational artefacts bends the field around your body which results in the bullets flying around you instead of into you."

[analog palm]

does anyone actually like mutant skinning animations?

[fallen atlas]

Yes

[blissful ivy]

artifact that just makes people that shoot you turn into porkchops

[analog palm]

buh

they must not hunt very much then

[blissful ivy]

im not one of them

[analog palm]

cuz try skinning a pack of boars

[blissful ivy]

after the 3058th anim im done

[analog palm]

waste 5 minutes

[blissful ivy]

5 min is a little much

unless you have 30 boars in a pack

[bronze needle]

artifact that just TP u into the CCPP frame one so u can finish the game

[analog palm]

i exaggerated for dramatic effect

[fallen atlas]

Try skinning a pack of boars with the setting that makes you pack each body part individually

[analog palm]

but it does add up quick

[blissful ivy]

but in reality you just die because of monolith

[analog palm]

i have

[blissful ivy]

[analog palm]

it's ass

[blissful ivy]

ok if you got that, it will be 5 min

[bronze needle]

thats what u think but paired with the bullet rabbit transformation u'll be fine

[fallen atlas]

"Okay I skin this pig"
Stores skin
Stores porkchop
Stores porkchop
Stores porkchop
Stores eye
Stores the other eye

[blissful ivy]

TRUE

[mental furnace]

[bronze needle]

yeah but ur game will just crash bcs of the sheer ammount of rabbits now soooo lets make an artifact that just depop all ennemies so u'll be free to go wherever u want to

[blissful ivy]

real

[analog palm]

not if you eat them fast enough

yummers

[fallen atlas]

It gets even more ridiculous when you have the hunters kit and the achievement that boosts amount of looted parts.
You can spend almost half a minute looting a single mutant

[mental furnace]

[fallen atlas]

I just use the setting that skips the menu.

Single stab, single grab, move on

[bronze needle]

paired with the setting that makes u pack each body parts individually nope, will take too much time

[fallen atlas]

I mean at least we don't have the shit that Dead Air tried doing

[bronze needle]

i am unaware of this shit

[fallen atlas]

Time stamped

[bronze needle]

thx

[fallen atlas]

oh wait

Wrong time stamp

[bronze needle]

[fallen atlas]

Fixed

[bronze needle]

[fallen atlas]

"Oh you want that piece of mutant meat? STAB IT MULTIPLE TIMES BUCKO!"

Though they did have something cool that I wish Anomaly would implement
If you watch from the start you can see Dead Air 1.0 was supposed to have charged melee attacks

Notice how the stab had two animations for end result.
One is just a light jab, second is full on stab forward.

[bronze needle]

well thats a problem

[fallen atlas]

How so?

[bronze needle]

ooops sorry wrong chat x)

my bad

[fallen atlas]

kek

Oh yeah Dead Air also showcased they'd have dynamic seasons where the game would switch between foliage for winter, spring, summer and autumn based on time of year.

[bronze needle]

yeah i just checked the time stamp

[bronze needle]

thats cool !

[fallen atlas]

It was cool, 6 years ago, when the last dev logs were posted

I don't think that dev log is even up anymore

[bronze needle]

well that might be a problem then XD

[fallen atlas]

Oh yeah they got unlisted.
Here's showcase of foot prints on snow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8I-5NyLf9Lc

They even made foot prints when you walked indoors when its raining
You could muddy up the floor at Yanov Station

[bronze needle]

well thats very unlucky that they dropped their mod then... looks like a very cool one

[fallen atlas]

Looking at the polish forum last news were posted in 2023 where the team said they were short on devs which delayed the release.

[bronze needle]

which explain the situation, still sad nonetheless

[fallen atlas]

They are unlisted but still accessible through moddb

Fuckin "Hopium administered" moment

"By the way, the mod is still alive and will remain so until we officially announce it in the group. Progress is slow, sometimes very slow, but it's happening." February 24 2025

One has to wonder if Dead Air will be able to compete if it ever releases a new update

[limpid island]

Is the "Find extra items on NPCs" settings talking about the "NPC" that are placed on the map as already dead, whom you can't interact with and are basically static objects? For eg the one near Freedom Army Warehouses, towards the right side tree from the warehouse entrance.

[analog palm]

what

no

like

npcs

the ones you kill

[limpid island]

oh

any way to give those static dead NPCs some interactivity? Like maybe PDAs or notes on them

[analog palm]

not really

they're just static assets

[limpid island]

I use the mags mod, but do I enable this in ZCP options?

It says its spawns the magazines for currently equipped weapons, that's a little game breaking isn't it?

Woah EFP updaetd

[near estuary]

honestly, I wouldn't get my hopes up as stuff like GAMMA, EFP etc. had the better part of a decade to implement basically everything that could have been implemented in a stalker mod

[analog palm]

Hm

Gamma and efp are far from most feature rich mods ya know

[fallen atlas]

Correction
EFP announced an incoming update

[analog palm]

To be clear they have lots of features but nothing really that big

[fallen atlas]

Honestly modding is just trying to mash together bits and pieces that work together best in stalker community.
Anyone remember STALKER AREA?

[analog palm]

Dark path for example has semi proper weapon customisation with attachments and stuff

Attachable exoskeletons and shit

[fallen atlas]

That one has something fun that would be nice to steal into Anomaly.
Dynamic player model

As in, the player model has 3 separate pieces.
The suit, the helmet and the backpack.

You could have a mix of anything possible

[analog palm]

Is that still alive

I remember having to manually use a can opener

[fallen atlas]

I dunno you tell me

Honestly I'm as surprised as you here.

[mental furnace]

badrealismslop

[fallen atlas]

It might've been too realism focused but the player model part I want to steal lmao

Let me wear a seva helmet while having the bandit overcoat

[thick sedge]

efp upcoming update hud

[near estuary]

I was honestly never a fan of circular health indicators

[near estuary]

I remember playing it for a couple of hours

was legit more tedious than misery

[fallen atlas]

okay brb gonna turn every indicator in gamma to be circular just to spite you
Not really I'm far too lazy to do that shit

[near estuary]

[fallen atlas]

Would be pretty funny though
Open settings menu: the fucking bars are circular

[near estuary]

change every single options slider to be circular

make each settings page five times as large

[fallen atlas]

https://klipy.com/gifs/willem-dafoe-evil-laugh-2

[analog palm]

my favorite type of bars are ones that you cant see

like how metro did with radiation and compass

it's an actual instrument on your character, not just magic floating stuff

[near estuary]

dead space health indicator

[analog palm]

health indicators are the most difficult part i think

[quasi lance]

Is it good ?

[fallen atlas]

If you are a bdsm masochist

Lets put it this way, if you have an irradiated piece of food in your inventory it can irradiate every other piece of food in your inventory, alongside your bandages and medkits and other shit

Have fun with that

[mental furnace]

also u got paid jackshit

cool kill
here is your 50 roubles

[quasi lance]

How big is it ?

Might give it a shot

[fallen atlas]

8gb main file and 800mb patch

[quasi lance]

Damn
Thats it ???

My gamma is like

300gb

[thick sedge]

u can put subtle stuff like dead space or a watch with a hp bar or resident evil inventory

but those ideas aren't new anyway

[fallen atlas]

Some modders that did Gunslinger for Lost Alpha had bars on the wrist watch

[spring remnant]

according to #📎to-do, 3DSS changed damage values??

why would the mod maker do that wtf

and then not mention it anywhere

[near estuary]

idk

[rigid stream]

3dss can change the balance of guns without grok's knowledge untill realized later

like out of the blue mosin just nerfed from stripper clip to one by one bullet reload
thats just outta nowhere

also SVD/SVDU to C tier
