[mellow gazelle]

I BROKE IT

just need about

60 buckshot

[unborn tendon]

anyone got a chart. what the roulette in the merc base can give you for patches

[inner basalt]

is there a barret 50cal on gamma?

[inland spade]

yes there is

there was in base anomaly

[near estuary]

no

debug only

[inner basalt]

man I need a barret so I can see a random renagades head be spread across the entire zone

[inner heron]

No .50 but the .338 Barrett does it just fine

[dusk vessel]

iirc you can spawn in a .50 with debug

but it probably wont work

[topaz bane]

Pretty sure the .357 pistol (forgot the name) can do that too

[topaz charm]

Hmm. All my mutant lair quests are borked in Cordon. I've had 4 in a row that I complete but it doesnt register.

[shadow glade]

I just found out Chuck Norris died yesterday

[bright maple]

what the helly did they add to arrival

[inner basalt]

thay will only spread it half way across the zone need it across the ENTIRE ZONE

[radiant star]

gotta be in the know to know

[limpid island]

enable it and stand near a campfire

"The Citadel's on full alert! I've never seen it lit up like that."

[topaz charm]

For a zone that's right next to Cordon, Darkscape is hell.

[near estuary]

[bright maple]

i alr looked up what it does lol

[limpid island]

Mods are like regrets... they keep coming. Each one creating new conflicts that kills performance and increase item id limit crash chances

I love mods thank you modders

[scenic trench]

oh
my god
can we PLEASE get push priority back?
why did we lose it again, anyway

[ruby fossil]

i just made a fresh install and changed my lean settings to mouse side mouse buttons, but every time i transit to another map they change back. any fixes? first time i encounter this

[pallid tangle]

does the changed keybinds stick if you make the change, save the game, exit to desktop, load back in? and if so, does it stick after the next level change?

[ruby fossil]

they dont, they always reverted back. I just made a fresh save and it works normally now, so i guess it was save specific. Really weird tho

[pallid tangle]

glad it's sorted

[topaz bane]

i am sorry, what?

[north fern]

lol

[bright maple]

erm i might have messed around too much

[mental furnace]

damn new helldivers 2 planet looks nice

[rough moth]

Ohh its caramelldansen

I get it

[little summit]

Cruelty squad

Or maxor filter

[glossy oriole]

this is what the joker sees btw

crazy vision

[thick sedge]

that's cool but

[glossy oriole]

looks like indie slop

[rough moth]

adjectiveslop

[thick sedge]

word slop is used everywhere, it's like six sayven, made me think it fits more for food

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1286286510416597022/1481408465854402702/Wraith-Twerk.gif

[topaz bane]

damn, did Slaneesh invaded the zone or the zone got transported the chaos realms?

[topaz bane]

ok, but the Deep Learning Slop Slopfication 5 is slop

[thick sedge]

THAT'S TRUE

[glossy oriole]

now that's some real slop

[topaz charm]

When you repair armor does the old existing part in the armor get destroyed?

[thick sedge]

chatgpt make my final fantasy game ultra realistic

[glossy oriole]

hyper realistic bloodshot eyes on all my characters

[thick sedge]

no it does not it gets replaced inside the workbench

[topaz charm]

Thanks

[topaz charm]

So if I'm swapping out parts, and one of the parts disapears its a bug?

[thick sedge]

were said parts really low percentage?

you're swapping on the field or inside the workbench?

[topaz charm]

Lowest was 55%.
Just the right click context menu from the tools themselves. Is it better to use the actual workbench?

[thick sedge]

u were right clicking an armor to fix a broken part with a repair kit?

[thick sedge]

ohh from that right click

works just the same without a workbench

that is a "workbench" after all, portable

[topaz charm]

Lol yeah I didn't know if you meant the Portable Workstation

Its this part here that's bugging out.

[thick sedge]

I could be wrong but my replaced armor parts stayed in my inventory either way

[topaz charm]

Yeah. This menu here destroys the current parts.

Just checked it with all five.

Weird. I thought it was non-destructive

[bright maple]

deadlock

[inner basalt]

I had a stash spawn inside the stash that I was useing as my stash

[quasi lance]

SInce when is the SR2M laser blue ???

shit's so hard to see

[steep elm]

3dSSG updated it to that probably

[quasi lance]

is there a way to change it ?

or at least make it brighter

[marble river]

what replaced zone reality?

[tall jolt]

Only for guns

[tall jolt]

i prefer it

[quasi lance]

we ballin

[quasi lance]

well, I'm blind as fuck, and a tiny blue dot that isnt very bright isnt exactly easy to see with my flashlight on

[tall jolt]

Oh yeah no, not with a flashlight on, lol

[quaint summit]

occasionally I press some button and somehow nab all items from an inventory when I don't mean to, is there a bind for this somewhere?

[subtle jewel]

You're pressing left Alt

[quaint summit]

don't see a bind for it anywhere, but thanks! is there a way to disable or rebind this? sometimes i miss really obvious things

found it, auto looter

nevermind, thank you

[quasi lance]

i love rostok

oh look

A PANZERFAUST

IM BOUTTA CUUUU

why is there an artifact in the roof bruh

[solar moon]

Is there any new starting weapons with the new updates

[celest sparrow]

No

[steep elm]

is that m14 in default Gamma?

[celest sparrow]

No

[steep elm]

ah

[umbral summit]

mb

did the interactive dots mod get removed or disabled?

[stark wyvern]

disabled, yes

[steep elm]

A-life?! No more?!

[umbral summit]

why so?

[stark wyvern]

FPS issues im pretty sure

[umbral summit]

ah

[clever canyon]

[dawn marten]

@umbral summit To turn on interactive dot UI like in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.® 2: Heart© of Chornobyl™, find and turn on 452- Interaction Dot Marks - Catspaw in MO2

[steep elm]

idk how much fps it drains, but I love the mod so I have it enabled.

honestly it's so nice simply for the fact that I don't have to hold F anymore just to manually search my vicinity for items lol

[clever canyon]

Can re-enable it (if it crashes for whatever reason place it at the end of the list)

[steep elm]

I haven't had to move mine

[clever canyon]

Some had to

[steep elm]

interesting

wonder why

[clever canyon]

Maybe a recent thing

Not sure honestly

Just know there is a crash it causes and the fix

All I need

[topaz bane]

mine is still at the same place and had 0 problems

[thick sedge]

!deez

[quasi lance]

No

[acoustic lily]

I have been in this server for almost 2 years, and I can now, finally, talk in stalker chat.

[topaz bane]

do you guys recommend any gun mod?

[raven python]

anyone knows hoe to pick up deployed backpack?

[steep elm]

Put an item in it, take the item back out - both the item and backpack will go back to your inventory.

[raven python]

Yeah figured out thanks

[steep elm]

no prob

[wispy haven]

can anyone point me towards the mags redux guide?

[stark wyvern]

!mags

[dawn marten]

[raven python]

THE Anomaly study mission no amtter how long i stand around the anomaly it wont comeplte the mission tried all the detectors on me already

[steep elm]

I've had that happen to me before where the task wanted me to jump inside acid anomalies, essentially, but no matter how close I got it wouldn't complete.

[dusk vessel]

its a special anomalous device, you have to wait quite a bit of time for the bar to fill up next to the anomaly

or its just plain bugged idk

[raven python]

it never fill up when i stnad inside the anomaly just keep beeping

i need go as close as i can but the abr also never fill

the misson dont register as finished

[steep elm]

yeah

sounds like the bug I experienced

[inner basalt]

did grok make the miracle machine easier or am i just not dogshit anymore?

[astral estuary]

4 burers

Easy to dodge and kill

And some snorks

And sin got removed some time ago

[peak blaze]

alright what's the best weapon sound mod out there? I know Relax is working on improved weapon sounds and right now I am using JSRS + Dark Signal Amplified Gunscape

[peak blaze]

burers worst mutant in the game to fight lol SIN was easier and before that it was a cakewalk

[astral estuary]

You are delulu for thinking that

Just get behind a wall, wait for their barrier to go down

And shoot

[valid crater]

If you're unlucky you get interesting spawns in MM. 🤡 That one got me by surprise, luckily it was stuck there.

[astral estuary]

Why do you have monolith there?

[valid crater]

I don't know. He was just there.

[astral estuary]

How far are you in game, story wise

[valid crater]

That was the initial shut down of MM.

[astral estuary]

You def have some mods for that

Monolith never spawns there on the first

[valid crater]

I know. But he was somewhat static, didn't react to me although killed the burer that spawns there, just died after a couple of bullets. I assume it was just a fluke spawn.

[inland spade]

One of the bodies has risen

[thick sedge]

must be siski

[peak blaze]

With anywhere from 5-8000hrs in Anomaly (mostly GAMMA) and handfuls of completed Invictus runs including 1-lifes.. I don't think i'm delusional at all in thinking that.

[near estuary]

gorillion hours in anomaly btw

[near estuary]

they're trivial, especially if you have ANY cover whatsoever

maybe the electro burers etc. are a bit harder but a standard burer is pathetically easy to deal with

[thick sedge]

soon: chimpanzeellion hours

[near estuary]

monkey

now that I think about it

[frank oxide]

Real monkey hours

[near estuary]

burers are only ever dangerous if you have negative impact resist and you're in an environment with lots of objects to be thrown at you

[covert nova]

https://klipy.com/gifs/monkey-monkee

[frank oxide]

Notice how the two new mobs added to CoP have flaws that make them super easy to defeat

Just shows how little care GSC put into the third entry

[near estuary]

I mean
at least there's more thought than the other mutants

which are basically just:

spot player
run at him

not that these don't do it too

but they have something else

[frank oxide]

yea but what other role would dogs serve

Maybe some annoying shit like grab your arm and spin you around

[near estuary]

man idk

I'm not a game designer

the fact that dogs, pseudodogs and cats are the exact same thing as each other doesn't help them

mutants in stalker as a whole are boring as shit

even their names are boring

[frank oxide]

They tried to put more thought into burers and chimeras because those were the only new mobs

And they’re still shit

[near estuary]

like bruh

pseudodog

pseudogiant

how creative

the mutant that controls your mind is called a Controller

[frank oxide]

Psy dog being a reskin

[near estuary]

wow

[frank oxide]

i honestly feel like their names should be kinda how stalkers would’ve named them

Which makes sense for controllers

Like literally

[near estuary]

I like the psy dog as a concept
but the implementation kinda sucks imo

it just spams kage bunshin no jutsu

[frank oxide]

yea it sure is interesting as a concept

But otherwise its just a pseudodog

[near estuary]

"summarize stalker in a sentence"

[frank oxide]

Pseudo’s have that fucking feet biting attack

That’s annoying

[near estuary]

wdym
I love getting stunlocked

[frank oxide]

At least you can kinda spin around them to avoid the attacks

Blind dogs and cats sharing the same AI (it makes sense for restored content tbh)

[near estuary]

yeah but cats are even dumber

they don't even do that thing where they slowly creep up on you

they just run at you

[frank oxide]

yeh true

[near estuary]

which makes zero fucking sense considering how cats hunt

if anything, it should be the other way around

[frank oxide]

Its like fleshes getting hit somewhere on the map and zooming towards your position

[near estuary]

that always cracks me tf up tbh

[frank oxide]

Bayun’s concept is literally „stalker cat”

[near estuary]

https://tenor.com/view/fever-dream-locker-leap-what-in-the-world-run-gif-16938133

this is how it feels

[frank oxide]

So the concept was true
But execution by content restoration was shit

[near estuary]

[frank oxide]

it was actually kinda neat, they were supposed to fake stalker voicelines to lure you in

And then do stealth attacks

Or some shit

Fractures were meant to get the same treatment (how original)

[near estuary]

[frank oxide]

One thing about blind dogs that i like is that they literally retreat if they’re at a disadvantage

[near estuary]

yeah that's cool to see from a generic videogame enemy tbh

[frank oxide]

No other mutant has that property other than flesh, but those are kinda always at a disadvantage

[near estuary]

I wish stalkers could flee sometimes

[frank oxide]

Ofc annoying when you do a task, but its also like „Get over here bitch” as you chase it with a knife

[frank oxide]

Not under this ai..

[near estuary]

trvst

[frank oxide]

reputation as a factor

[near estuary]

[frank oxide]

i mean honestly if the most negative rep would mean that people are more likely to be terrified of you…

[near estuary]

would need a reputation rework tbh

[frank oxide]

yeh

[near estuary]

cuz as it is now, you ALWAYS have good rep

like maybe kill quests give you bad rep

and fetch quests wouldn't

[frank oxide]

yep and gaining negative rep requires losing goodwill too

Like with neutrals

atm

[frank oxide]

Grok kinda did this for goodwill now

if you do bounties for a faction, some enemies associated with them get a goodwill debuff

[pulsar mountain]

Anyone know what allows for swapping weapons with the scrollwheel? I NEED to turn that shit off, my scroll wheel is broken and it keeps fucking me up

[frank oxide]

settings > modded exes > controls

Look there

[pulsar mountain]

There it is, thank you.

[topaz charm]

Is there a sub mod or setting to make replacing armor parts non-destructive?

[near estuary]

not that I know of

[topaz charm]

Dang. Its so much more fun that just right clicking a repair kit

[pure remnant]

Trip to WT well worth it

[scenic trench]

had the impression the strayer had been replaced with that new 1911

[pure remnant]

might be the case, I didnt update for a while now

[timber flower]

Am I crazy or did the science suits get some crazy high ballistic resistance? Their durability must be shit right?

[scenic trench]

ah, ok

[scenic trench]

which models?

[timber flower]

The classic S99s

I don't believe they get up to 70% ballistic res, this must either be bugged or their durability must be near nor existent

[near estuary]

artefacts

[timber flower]

No, I mean the base suit

No artifacts

[near estuary]

nothing to do with durability

[near estuary]

are you viewing them in debug?

cuz debug stats are broken

[timber flower]

They are 🤡

I had one I found broken and wanted to see how they changed it

That sums it up

[near estuary]

just hold Ctrl to view full condition stats lol

[timber flower]

See I tried that

But it doesn't do anything for me

[near estuary]

[timber flower]

That's why I checked in debug

[near estuary]

well shit

[near estuary]

then actually spawn it

[timber flower]

Yea, will do it from now on. I didn't want to spawn them to deal with AI picking it up or stashing it

[topaz charm]

For Auto Looter, is there any button that isn't left alt that works?

[scenic trench]

weird
do loners in yanov just dont care about mercs?
gary just had to solo 2 masters, the rest did nothing even tho they ate bullets

[near estuary]

NPCs inside bases sometimes don't aggro properly

[oak wyvern]

They sure do against you though

Fun times in Yanov

[timber flower]

Always fun to fast travel with a guide and be greeted by a pincer from all sides

[valid crater]

Yeah, played military, and thought: yeah, let's take the guide from Bar to Yanov ... totally forgot I was military until the bullets hailed in. 💩

[scenic trench]

what usually sits in the jupiter tunnel?
never went down there outside of story quest

[inland spade]

[astral estuary]

Burers are easy, no need to brag about your hours

[near estuary]

nah bro

TRVST

I have one BILLION hours on stalker cop anomaly gamma efp gunslinger solyanka

therefore I'm right

[timber flower]

I carry 200kg on me, man why do burers drain so much of my stamina

[astral estuary]

Was that a genuine question someone asked?

[timber flower]

The clueless at the end is implying I'm making a joke about it

[astral estuary]

Yes, i know

I am asking if anyone actually said it

[timber flower]

I'm presuming the people who find burers harder to fight than SIN

[near estuary]

you're in the GAMMA server
if a question can be thought of, it was asked here

[timber flower]

We need GammaGPT so it can answer questions falsely for us

[astral estuary]

I keep forgetting a lot of people here had issues with installation, because they cant read

[near estuary]

@astral estuary ⠀

[topaz charm]

Anyone use the Companion Equipment equipment mod?
If you don't give them an armor they just use thier default (model) armor at full health right?

[inland spade]

remind me do kits repair weapons or not?

[near estuary]

huh

[astral estuary]

They repair the parts of the weapons, so yes

[inland spade]

aye

[astral estuary]

What is your issue?

With them

[inland spade]

me? none

just heard something that kits repair weapons long time ago

and then had big pause from stalker

[near estuary]

well
what else would they do

[astral estuary]

Wait until he finds out part cleaning kits, clean parts

[inland spade]

i mean kits as in ak105 shakal

[astral estuary]

Aaaah thats something else

Specify next time

I actually havent noticed

[near estuary]

me when I don't mention half the info

yeah those don't repair anything

repair kits repair

upgrade kits upgrade

[little light]

should be
unless you swap out their armor then theyll have the previous armour model instead

[inland spade]

aye thanks

[near estuary]

[silver star]

Can expert tools be found in all areas? just more common the more northern you go? or is there some maps where they dont spawn at all

[hollow wadi]

!tools

[dawn marten]

@silver star
To get a yellow stash, finish 7 tasks, then keep doing things that will get you stash coordinates (e.g. more tasks, opening PDAs, looting bodies). You get a 50% chance of receiving a yellow stash each time. This resets upon finding a yellow stash - then you need to do 7 more tasks, and look for more stash coordinates afterwards.
⠀

[hollow wadi]

They don't spawn in most maps

[silver star]

ah amazing, so me doing quests in warehouses was a waste of time

[hollow wadi]

Not quite necessarily

[hollow wadi]

!stashes

[dawn marten]

Stashes are empty by default. Getting stashes is the main way of progressing in GAMMA. White stashes can contain helpful gear, while yellow stashes are guaranteed to have a toolkit in addition to regular stash contents. Stash locations are determined based on where you are when you receive the coordinate, they always generate in or near the area you are currently located.

How to get stash coordinates:

1. Complete tasks (this is the main source of stash coordinates)
2. Loot dead bodies
3. Read looted PDAs (right click -> View them in inventory). If it's locked, go to a mechanic to unlock it
4. Buy coordinates from Sid or Cold (only available in the south)

How to get yellow stashes:

1. Complete 7 tasks
2. Get a stash coordinate afterwards - this can be from any source, e.g. the 8th task, a PDA, looting a body
3. That stash coordinate has a 50% chance to be a yellow stash. If you didn't get it, keep doing step 2 until you get a yellow stash

Exact stash location generation spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uQxe5sVL5UHHkGYdRqtgsh5OrLX1MfwdZrMJG1IuRAs/edit?usp=sharing
Tool chance spreadsheet: !tools

[hollow wadi]

Follow the link at the bottom, it'll show that AW has a chance at spawning stashes in Red Forest

[silver star]

But if i have not completed the bunker in radar? can i still go more north?

[hollow wadi]

No, which is intentional - we don't want you overpreparing with Expert Tools for BS

[near estuary]

pls no meltdown

[hollow wadi]

Though that's not to say you can't get D guns before then
Plenty drop with intact barrels

[near estuary]

loot stabilizer

[hollow wadi]

(Not like you need anything more than B guns anyway)

[astral estuary]

The fact that you can still overprepare even if you have advanced

[hollow wadi]

SKS MOLOT AND KS-23

[timber flower]

Saiga is life

[hollow wadi]

Alternatively, Chimera Hunter

[near estuary]

me when a B kit shotgun solos every single C kit one

[astral estuary]

Incredible gun, i like how a shit barrel doesnt stop it from cleaning heads, the damage insane

[raven python]

anyone know where is cherneko brother stash in apogrham undergound?

[astral estuary]

Strelok stash?

[raven python]

western good brother

[astral estuary]

No idea

[astral estuary]

No idea about that task, just search the underground, its nice to explore the whole of it for the first time

[timber flower]

Last run I couldn't get a single advanced kit

This one was blessed

[west heath]

Hi all what's the key binding for wheel to select Inventory

[pulsar mountain]

Just had a chimera, 3 zombies and a dog spawn all in the same part of truck cemetery

I think it's time to leave..

[near estuary]

wdym
quickwheel is Z

or Y

[pulsar mountain]

You mean adding things to it? Right click the item in the inventory and select the option.

[west heath]

Yes i did that

[west heath]

Y only appears when carrying a weapon for ammunition selection

Z is not keybind

[pulsar mountain]

You could also check it in mod configuration

Scroll down a bit, you'll find it's entry.

[west heath]

Whats the name of the mod do you know perhaps

[near estuary]

QAW

quick action wheel

[near estuary]

try holding it instead of a simple press

[west heath]

You sre the champ

Thank you

[topaz charm]

This is the swamp in Garbage right? Or is it somewhere else?

[pulsar mountain]

Is there so far any way to check if lost signal bodies actually spawn before I waste my time searching?

It's extremely infuriating

[near estuary]

yes

[near estuary]

not that I know of

#╟🔰☢newbies-chat message

just check these maps

dot marks used to highlight them the moment you entered the map

but that got fixed

[pulsar mountain]

I already ran around the entire place

Nothing

No beep

[near estuary]

you on the right frequency?

[pulsar mountain]

Duh

[near estuary]

emission happened lately?

[pulsar mountain]

Nope

[near estuary]

is it your first time in that map after accepting the quest?

[pulsar mountain]

Already failed earlier, reloaded auto, ran around to confirm they did spawn, reloaded, didn't spawn again

Attempt #3 right now

[near estuary]

and where are you

[pulsar mountain]

Truck cemetery

[near estuary]

open up the map in MS paint or something and actually mark down the location you checked

it's a bigass map

[pulsar mountain]

Got a beep this time, I'm gonna sit on my ass until I get a quicksave

[near estuary]

so it's easy to miss stuff

[topaz charm]

[flat plover]

Woah

What calibre is that using

[pulsar mountain]

beeg

12.7 something idk

[flat plover]

Ah that'd make sense.

[pulsar mountain]

Found it on a military guy, whole 5er squad all with good helmets

[topaz charm]

Im trying to set a waypoint for a stash but the map is too cluttered and I keep clicking on other things.
Any ideas?

Like you cant zoom in on the PDA or anything can you?

[near estuary]

scroll

and/or disable Areas, Important objects etc. on the top of the map

[sick yoke]

Please do not disable stashes when you do this

[topaz charm]

Yeah I did both I still couldn't manage to get it

Just ended up using demo record mode to find it then got to it manually lol

I got the PDA v2 and its made it harder cause there's dudes on my map now

[atomic pebble]

(these two mobs are nerfed compared to their buildo versions)

[topaz bane]

I asked this before but i think nobody was on at the time:
Is there any weapon mods you guys suggest? Or is in your opinion "vanilla gamma" the best?

[topaz charm]

Well mods are usually cause you want to change something in Vanilla so I guess tell us what you want to change 😛

[near estuary]

inb4 "guise, all my stashes are gone"

[atomic pebble]

Izloms were supposed to get psi thingis, but em were discarded because no one was able to finish his scheme of capacities

[sick yoke]

I’ve actually seen someone ask it unfortunately

[topaz bane]

Just want more variety. I am a sucker for variety

[topaz charm]

I think Ultimate Gun Pack is one I've heard that people use?

[near estuary]

!fwp

uhhh

!bhs

shitass bot is down again

[inner basalt]

why do no venders sell 556

[near estuary]

nato ones do

[random grail]

Ye bot is dead

[inner basalt]

im at the freedom vender and he sells 30 556

[near estuary]

just be prepared that's it's mostly AR-15s

[near estuary]

yeah that fits

[random grail]

Grind more tasks for freedom

[inner basalt]

ok so u are saying I need sloppy toppy the commander more

[topaz bane]

yeah, its what i heard about FWP, thats one that isnt much interesting. i am looking more for variety, more of "everything".

[subtle jewel]

Get LEWD or Juan's pack then

[topaz bane]

speaking of more of everything, i am surprised there are no mods that ADD new melee weapons? I found one mod that replaces one of the axes with a shovel you can sharpen an use as melee

[topaz bane]

hum. will look at it, you have a link to the Juan? ccant find it

[near estuary]

melee is kinda forgotten about in GAMMA

[inner basalt]

why does freedom give like no quest conpeard to duty

[topaz bane]

in stalker in general from what i see

[subtle jewel]

Don't know if his things are still on the discord, but you can check on ModDB

[near estuary]

probably nuked after the incident

which is understandable ig

at least he didn't have a chimp out like the Rotten Life creator

[topaz bane]

found

ugh, wish it was a all in one weapon pack :p

[limpid island]

anyway to stop stalkers around a campfire from standing up then sitting down then standing up when near them? just want to chill near the campfire without them acting like NPCs ready to interact with you

[near estuary]

don't think so

[limpid island]

hmm

[topaz bane]

does the juan pack need any patch for GAMMA or it is mostly balanced?

[near estuary]

pretty much all gun packs break balance

ok so
I comissioned this not long ago

I wanna comm another piece

based on a selfie from my time in the army

and I need a good location for the background

smth that's cool and recognizable

[valid loom]

Are those the Generators behind?

[inner basalt]

like a location in game?

[quasi lance]

yes

[quasi lance]

yuh
either in anomaly, or in STALKER 2

these were my ideas so far

[near estuary]

[valid loom]

Jupiter, by the quarry

[near estuary]

is that from S2?

[inner basalt]

what about on top of the cooling towers that u jump off the top of in stalker 2

maybe mid jump

[quasi lance]

under the CnPP

its the C-Con's lab with the pods

[near estuary]

comission this

[quasi lance]

Not bad, but the idea is based off a picture of me from when I was in the army
so jumping isnt ideal

[quasi lance]

I'm
taking that for future comms when I have more money

any other ideas ?

but retard is allowed

no, it doesn't make sense

proceed with caution

[inner basalt]

didnt read the quest was ment to extract someone 2 headshots later mission failed

[quasi lance]

ooh yeah I can see the laser now

is there a way to deactivate meat spoiling ?

[pallid tangle]

with regard to the AK-105 upgrade kits, is there a clear difference between Shakal & SwampThing or are they nearly-identical?

[spring remnant]

#📎to-do message its honestly crazy how many weapons 3dss just changed without telling anyone

[quasi lance]

anyone knows what this is used for ?

[spring remnant]

probably for selling

[quasi lance]

none of the traders I went to takes it

[spring remnant]

oh

that is weird

and it has no use case in its details menu?

im guessing its use was to be sold but something made it accidentally unsellable

[quasi lance]

nop

[steep elm]

part of the Western Goods mod, I'm pretty sure, but I've yet to find anyone I can trade the various currencies to.

[spring remnant]

im guessing gamma does not have the npcs module installed

or any of the other ones that actually interact with it

[unborn tendon]

whats that one shotgun...in gamma that is an absolute monster. i remember it has a large fat mag in it...i got it only once so i don't remember its name but its either C or D tier. i got it at the barrier

[inland spade]

raptr

[cloud salmon]

I am thinking of trying out either ato 3 or rotten life, if you tried one, which do you think is cooler? Maybe there is out there something else I don't know

[clever canyon]

Since rotten life was deleted by the author just go for ATO

[steep elm]

No, Gamma doesn't since Western Goods is a separate mod you've gotta install yourself. I think the NPC module is part of the associated FOMOD?

I used to like ATO a lot, but then I learned how apparently it's not very well optimized. Like at all.

[sick yoke]

Grok misinformation is too real

[steep elm]

which part

[cloud salmon]

I mean, there is still a 2k option and some google drives out there with the og, although I wonder why he deleted it

[inner basalt]

I forgot am I forced to do brain scorcher or can I just skip past it to pripyat?

[sick yoke]

3dssg “changing” weapon damages

[steep elm]

Oh

[sick yoke]

(Grok did that himself and forgot about it)

[steep elm]

would be a lil funny

[sick yoke]

No like that’s literally what he did lol

[steep elm]

Did he make the changes part of 3dssg, or was it through something else?

[sick yoke]

In todo he’s saying that the Mosin damage being lower than the other x54s is 3dssg’s fault

When anyone who’s been playing since before 3dssg got added can easily tell you that the mosin’s had lower damage for a long ass time

Before 3dss was even conceptualized possibly idk

[steep elm]

Could be

I don't specifically recall the Mosin's dmg compared to other rifles that share the same caliber

[sick yoke]

Every other x54 has 110 base damage but Mosin has 90 basically

[steep elm]

Interesting

[sick yoke]

According to oflin the only “stat” change that 3dssg does to the Mosin is that it can use ap ammo by default again (error caused by copying the wrong Mosin ltx file or something)

[steep elm]

yeah I did think it was really strange how it couldn't use the AP ammo

[cloud salmon]

aight, lets go with ato. Any other graphics stuff of note to go with it you can recommend?

[subtle jewel]

Depends on what you're trying to change

[cloud salmon]

Its hard to know what to change until you know what you can

I opt to just rely on what people currently like/install

[subtle jewel]

Just play and check where you find friction spots and then look on how to fix them

[cloud salmon]

and then pick from that

It's been a while since I played base gamma but it's fine imo. I dont feel any friction. I just like new shiny stuff and different mods to tweak the look of the game between playthroughs

[quasi lance]

it didn't show anything when I installed western goods

<w>

[cloud salmon]

The last time I really wanted something in base was when the see-through scopes mod came out

[inner basalt]

is their scopes with variable zooms or no?

[cloud salmon]

And they merged it

[quasi lance]

how do I keep food from spoiling ?

also, what a haul gah damn

[dawn marten]

@quasi lance To disable the rotting meat feature:

• Disable the mod ilrathCXV's Meat Spoiling Timer in Tooltips
• Find the mod 349- Hideout Furniture Expansion - Maid & HarukaSai in MO2
• Right click -> Reinstall, make sure "Optional - Meat Spoiling Addon" is off
• Click "Install", then choose "Replace" when asked

[twin timber]

Dude, spoilers!

[steep elm]

Yes there are

[scenic trench]

usually says in their description

[twin timber]

Usually a scope that says zoom 1x-10x are variable

[shell orchid]

Anyway to loot these bodies?

[twin timber]

Enable distance looting on autolooter, set it to the max range and press the autoloot button while looking at the body

And then disable it again after you do it because it's not supposed to be enabled

[random grail]

! transition

Ehh

[twin timber]

Or you can ledge grab one of the corners of that fence then jump over it

[random grail]

Forgor that bot died

[twin timber]

The transition zone for rostok is a bit more farther ahead

[twin timber]

Hm

I thought it was because you put a space there

ive never had a pseudo giant in radar before

[twin timber]

Damn how lucky

siski i making the stalker experience crazy

[twin timber]

Every time i go to radar one or two spawn

Who's siski

[inland spade]

experienced sinners in garbage

[inner basalt]

ive only ever had a chimera spawn there

[inland spade]

SISKI the mod

[twin timber]

Ok that one's kinda dangerous

[twin timber]

Huh? can you link me on moddb?

[inner basalt]

also tf is with the monolith they are like pinpoint accurate

[inland spade]

he killed 2 squads alone. 1 of bandits of experienced type and cs swuad also experienced

[twin timber]

Eh, they've been always like this

[inland spade]

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

[inland spade]

im gonna fucking lower popualtion of stalkers

[inland spade]

but be ware warzones are frequent

like 3 factions shooting at each other

been a long while since 0.9.1 buddy

Eh, not gonna install this siski

My game is already pretty unstable with 605 mods

Adding yet another A-life simulator will nuke my pc

Speaking of witch, i wanna install hd models

[random grail]

Random tasks,glowing rock adds more of them

[umbral summit]

is anyone playing gamma with Nvidia's DLAA?

How is it and is it possible?

[near estuary]

BS time

[quasi lance]

how do I enable the western goods currencies to be used in gamma ?

[subtle jewel]

It's only possible with the latest version of SSS which isn't publicly available

[inner basalt]

are the aug 9mm kits any good?

[grave solar]

I find the fetch quests to progress to the next story mission very annoying sometimes...example...I'm nearing the end of living legend and I have to find an ak venom...It's been days of looting and I found no venom. I'm losing the will to finish this playthrough as usual because I've got the best gear but can't finish the run.

[limpid island]

idk how the madlad did it, but the creator of SSS ported fucking DLSS4 into DX11?

like wow

[near estuary]

one of the best 9x19 SMGs tbh

[near estuary]

huh

Living Legend requires finding a random gun?

[inner basalt]

would it be better than my sr2m? or should I just stick to the sr2m

[near estuary]

SR2M has much cheaper anti-stalker ammo

but 9x19 is more versatile

cuz you get HP ammo

[inner basalt]

so sr2m cheaper but aug has more flexibility

[grave solar]

maybe it's another story quest, but I have a story objective to deliver a venom to some guy in rostok.,,,

[random grail]

Random dr x task

[inner basalt]

the kit is a pretty big investment too

[near estuary]

that's the Doctor X storyline
it has no relation to Living Legend

[near estuary]

yeah some kits are ridiculously expensive

the worst offenders are the pistol kits

[inland spade]

i have uzi stashed. and a upgraded skorpion

[near estuary]

for example the kit for the SR1MP

[inland spade]

likely gonna sell one of them

[near estuary]

60k for a laser and sight

[near estuary]

can't sell guns in GAMMA

[inner basalt]

I really like the aug but 50k for that kit seems abit much

[inland spade]

i play with black amrket

[near estuary]

oh

[inland spade]

got both ithaca normal and defender

gonna need to fix up one

but first i need tools

[grave solar]

okay then I'm beyond confused because I was doing the story quests and then suddenly I get this mission to give mangun a venom...

[near estuary]

it's a leftover from CoC

[inland spade]

what i would do for ks-23 in me current run

[near estuary]

new players usually mistake the tasks for actual story missions

when it's just generic fetch quests

[inland spade]

i mean

yellow tasks are ,,story,,

[grave solar]

so how do I start the next story mission ?

[inland spade]

be it faction specific or actual questlines

[near estuary]

yeah that's the problem kinda

iirc, it's gonna be recolored

[inland spade]

oh cool

[near estuary]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ltWH1CUjjv7KG2lzS0HY4YtQqs7nsW82CilzAULjJdw/edit

ty

[inland spade]

likely not gonna update because i already play with half of gamma disabled

[near estuary]

I struggle to believe that

[inland spade]

well half is a exageration

[random grail]

I bet you gave rogue gauss rifle and didn't talked again

[inland spade]

but a lot

[inner basalt]

glad I didnt buy that kit I thought it was for the normal aug

[inland spade]

heh running dual pistols is fun for a bit

[cloud salmon]

have anyone tried re tune? How does it compare to base gamma mods?

[grave solar]

I'm stupid and forgot that I had to speak to rogue to continue living legend

[random grail]

[inland spade]

playing with artigrok balistics makes so many weapons better

like desert eagle

or other 357 guns

[random grail]

357 is good enough

Without artigrok

[inland spade]

artigrok allows for shooting very armored targets

[random grail]

Hp in 357 means high penetration

[inland spade]

yeah sure

9x21 gets fmj and hp

Do enemies get more accurate over time if you dont change position?
Cant tell if its in my head or not

Npcs aim in the last place they saw you

So kinda yes?

[topaz charm]

Ah so they react quicker if you're in the area they are aiming?

[random grail]

I think so?

[lethal steeple]

no

technically yes if you really want to stretch it

but no

and they aren't more accurate if you stand still either

you can noclip and land somewhere first

you cant do it while noclipping tho

[topaz charm]

dang. Yeah im trying to place something on a high shelf and its a bit of a struggle

[little light]

place one below you to stand on maybe

[topaz charm]

haha yea I might just do that. Clip it through the floor and make some bootleg steps

[ripe lagoon]

which video

[topaz bane]

Where do you guys usually "make your base", like, do you guys have a central stash location or how you guys do it?

[steep elm]

since I mainly play as loner, I'll just crash at the Farm in Cordon.

[peak blaze]

dark signal gunscape reworked or something like that

[topaz bane]

Yeah, mine is there too. I am thinking on putting mine alongside the duty guys as it seems like a more central area so its cheaper to fast travel there

[topaz charm]

Is the military base in Agroprom infinite spawning or is there just a LOT of them?

Omg they finally stopped

[steep elm]

yeah for sure especially once you start getting further north in the zone.

[limpid island]

is there a mod to expand on the skill system in gamma? but not make it a full on rpg

just a little more extension and depth to the mechanic

[thick sedge]

expand deez nuts

ain't there the EFT-like tarkov skill system in moddb

even reloading skill

may as well play project zomboid

[analog palm]

just get rpg redux

[limpid island]

[unborn tendon]

holy fuck i just saw the database tool. and jesus christ on a stick its so good

[analog palm]

all it did was making me realize that i've never touched good 80% of game's items

like???

holy shit

i know good chunk of this is from uncooked/basic mutant meals but still

[unborn tendon]

cooked mutant food is the best stuff in the game. not to mention. you can make coffee out of beans and that shitty heavy bulky water

and its arguably better than normal water

but yeah

there is so much shit

i am sad tho

the fucking raptr is such a low drop rate

i didn't even realize how rare it is when i got it

though this list is wrong

as well

about one thing

you can get the raptr in army warehouses

thats where i got it

near the barrier itself

from a freedomer corpse

[analog palm]

that's the point

i only ever use stewed mutant meats

and coffee

[unborn tendon]

same

but still

shit is wack

[analog palm]

all the other food items are for first hour or so of the game

[unborn tendon]

this is gona be useful

[analog palm]

makes me wanna make a list myself

[near estuary]

ngl, I almost never cook anything

clean food is found in every other stash

[pine sky]

Would you guys recommend Fatal Error? It looks interesting, but just wondering whats your experience with it?

[inland spade]

fuckin burer in cordon

[quaint summit]

any good way to bind ammo check and reload to the same key, but vary the action based on input length? i'd like to if possible double-tap r to reload, single-tap to check

but I'm struggling to bind as such and it might not be possible

ive tried the reverse, it just doesn't work that well

[dusk vessel]

Not to mention beer

I only cook food for stamina like lurker/chimera

And even then i prefer cocaine/adrenalin

Since that reduces sleep also

[near estuary]

yeah I get a bottle for every other quest

[dusk vessel]

Food isnt an issue but, finding one thats weight efficient

Thats the point

You can leave your house for a tour and not bring any food and just eat what you find

Cannibalism mod yet, dead stalkers drop human meat

[limpid island]

does this mod control the overall condition % of a outfit that you find on killed stalkers?

if so, why is a legend stalker carrying around a 30% outfit lol

[timber flower]

You kill a lot of them, this is what they will drop not what they wear

[inland spade]

yes

[timber flower]

You can presume it's due to the damage sustained when you killed them but what is certainly is

Is balancing

The most enjoyable stalker experience that people get is of that struggle in early and mid game, the game lacks a good late game too. Therefore this being at those settings is what will prolong that period of the game

You can crank it up but it will make the game easier. It's your choice

[limpid island]

well here's the part where I ask, any mod that calculates damage to the enemy npc outfit? lets say its 75% condition and if you headshot them you get to keep that 75% outfit (smaller target but bigger reward). But if you shoot their limb/thorax/body then the outfits gets damaged

[timber flower]

All body parts have a certain amount of armor

So you can break through it even with HP ammo

Headshots usually are acompanied by some glass breaking sound when you finally break their helmet

[timber flower]

I'm not 100% sure on the current numbers because I just returned after a very long break and much has changed

But I do not believe the damage they take corresponds to the actual state the armor drops

It's a very old game engine so it has its limits

[limpid island]

I getcha

[limpid island]

I'll assume this

[timber flower]

It's open source though so if you feel up to it you could try to make a mod that modifies the dropped armor if they drop any to track with the armor damage of their body parts

I just don't think that the mod even if working as intended and rewarding would do the game much good. People already go for headshots so it would end up with everyone quickly getting a medium armor at good quality and ruin the struggle

[limpid island]

are these settings fine? for Custom Companion Squad Size

[timber flower]

I don't use companions outside of those assigned by quests

[limpid island]

why not?

[timber flower]

I don't like them personally

[limpid island]

the zone is scawwy

[timber flower]

In combat I despise them because they move me OUT of cover

Against mutants they sometimes spot them and that ruins the entire encounter

AI also struggles to fight against multiple opponents

[limpid island]

oh yeah thanks for reminding me, any mod that makes you weigh 100 solar masses so the companions don't shift you? and instead just move around you?

[timber flower]

Not sure if that exists

But the AI sometimes stands next to each other without shooting

And I think that the companions have it covered

But they stare at the AI as the enemy suddenly decides to ignore them and focus on me

While my companions block my bullets

AI just seems to often focus on the player's actor and ignore nearby threaths

You could have a boar maul the freedomer just for the freedomer to shoot at you anyway

I just want to have AI companions for the emotional instability/stakes when it comes to making sure they don't die

survivors guilt simulator

[timber flower]

TLDR
I don't like them personally since they make the game so much easier that I don't enjoy it very much
They are also buggy, move me out of cover and don't do shit for covering your flanks

But it's a modular experience for a reason, edit it to your liking

im genuineley embarassed (and jealous) of the database

i was trying to do the same thing but instead of data scrubbing i was manually inputting data into excel and instead of a proper website i was using excel formulas

literal caveman hitting 2 rocks together

why bother

[timber flower]

You can make a surprising amount of things work by mashing two rocks together if you have something to base it on

I've made code that modified games to a level I'd never expect with 0 knowledge of how to make it

You can also just learn database

A persistent caveman with two rocks will eventually create the fire

[near estuary]

companions are this weirdass thing that either make the game a cakewalk or they get you killed every 5 seconds

[timber flower]

Even excel has varying degrees of control, if you see some of the excel people who make working self editing tables let alone working UPI and scripts inside of it

[latent cairn]

omg its so well made

it even tells you the drop sources

i could never

[timber flower]

My least liked companion job is the bandit farmhouse clearing, you have two angles of approach and your companions WILL push you out of cover

[latent cairn]

yeah prolly gonna do that

[latent cairn]

thanks, man

[clever canyon]

Huh now that I think about it would probably a good idea to add the database link to !shit

[latent cairn]

whats

!shit

[dawn marten]

@latent cairn Follow this: #╭📖faq message

[clever canyon]

That’s shit

[latent cairn]

ah

sheet

[clever canyon]

[latent cairn]

i mean this makes most sheets irrelevant right

whatever is missing from the database can be integrated

[clever canyon]

I dunno, haven’t looked at the database

[latent cairn]

make it a one stop shop

[latent cairn]

i am filled with jealousy you have no idea

cain and abel type shit

its literally all ive wanted to do but couldnt

[timber flower]

Hilarous stuff just happened, I was constantly throwed small items at throughout the Truck Cemetery, at first I thought the UI bugged and I was triggering a poltergeister but it persisted as I moved away so I thought maybe it's the new Maze anomaly, I'm about to leave Truck Cemetery and it turns out a burer was following me for 15 minutes

Never made a sound or attacked me, just tossed ammo and spare parts at me

Helped me loot the entire place

Then gave me their 50% pelt

[clever canyon]

Well I guess you can be glad someone else did it for you

[latent cairn]

thats what a normal person would do

but im hitting myself for not having done it before them

[clever canyon]

I mean if interested you can still try to learn how to do it .. useful knowledge for any future autistic hyper fixation you might have

[timber flower]

You can also ask the creator to share the code if it isn't on github already

And learn by example

[limpid island]

lmao

[timber flower]

Taking things down to figure out how they are made is one of the best ways to learn

[limpid island]

burer be like: take this shit, upgrade yourself and come back later to fight me

[timber flower]

His pelt will pave my way to Radar

I'll remember him for that entire run

15% impact and explosive with +10kg of carry weight is very good at early/mid game

[limpid island]

its good that you have that competitiveness, that's healthy
its bad if you keep lingering on it but never learn from it

[limpid island]

also speaking of this (armor degradation on being hit)

already exists for companion equipment

[timber flower]

But that's for one they wear or are given

Not for one that's generated when you open the enemy inventory

[limpid island]

isn't the armor that spawns in enemy inventory the one they wear?

[timber flower]

When you open enemy's inventory the loot is generated

Their weapon is the same, but the condition of it changes

Then the armor has a chance to drop based on generation

And then the rest of the gear is generated
