Cream-of-Plenty posted:Out of curiosity, do you folks mess around a lot of with placed stashes? I usually keep a spare backpack on me for those occasions where I need to shave some weight and pick up crap later, but I otherwise struggle to maintain more than one BIG stash in a centralized location with a workbench. Right now I'm in the early game and I have my big stash in Rostok, a second stash I ditched for weight in Garbage, and a third in Agroprom...and even THAT is bugging me despite the fact that I know I'll pick up the latter two soon. Oh no any time i have a stash in the wild i get antsy in my pantsy and must bring it to my hoard. I usually leave a few stashes in convenient fast travel locations or a central zone stash encase i want to actually hoof it between levels. I leave a stash in wild territory for example just past the burners because the constant merc spawn in the construction site is annoying as hell and they always drop good gear weighing me down on the way to yantar. I want to actually walk to yantar but i can't leave behind the loving gear and artifacts.

So every stalker save has a half life because eventually A-life will have too many things in the zone and the game will freeze/crash because it's reached its limit. I'm working with the devs atm but it feels like we're at the object limit but i gotta try a few more things before we determine that. My current game date is dec 30th 2018, i forget when the game starts but i easily have 200+ real life hours in this save. It's been happening in CoP levels though and there's some spawn shenanigans that can happen in those levels so my first test will be to fast travel out of zaton to see if i freeze in another level and then its strip tease roulette to see if its a weapon/suit issue. It used to be worse back in the day because SoC/CoP never had that many items and figured you'd finish the game long before you reached the limit.

Cream-of-Plenty posted:I got hit with a (new?) trap in the Red Forest. At least one I've never seen before, and not in this particular area. Nice that looks awesome. How many hours have people gotten in gamma without save corruption? I'm really over EFP now that i know my save can become, "too big" that short into the loving game. It used to only occur if you've literally done everything in the zone and were just wandering around for months on the same save. I didn't even fully explore outskirts much less go to prip and the CNPP.

In my last EFP run i started with just a knife and simply sprinted around everywhere avoiding fights or rushing bandits like a maniac knifing them down haha. It's dangerous to start with a gun when you don't got a suit because it tricks you into gun fights that you simply cannot survive. A pair of binocs is a better investment because you can run towards the sound of fighting and grab loot once the dust settles. Might get into gamma once i exhaust my current grab bag of games since it looks like it's getting far more updates than EFP and more stable to boot.

Namnesor posted:0.9 Loner playthrough still continues to brick wall me; I've pushed all the way into Pripyat and the Outskirts for missions and stash coordinates, still have not gotten Expert tools, nor have I found any suits that are better than my medium Nomad. Mercifully I scrounged up to 100% quality pelts that have been crucial to my survivability, to the point where I think pelts, as rare as they can be to acquire, are perhaps a bit too overpowered, but that's a different conversation. The forester and nimble in zaton are not tool dependent or at least weren't in most mods is it the same in gamma? The entire purpose of those 2 are to allow you to use the work bench regardless of finding tools thats why they were in fairly difficult areas.

i must compose posted:Holy gently caress where the gently caress is stalker 2 news Just get gamma, stalker devs are notoriously glacial even when there's not a war going on in their country haha. Namnesor posted:They do not work that way in GAMMA, no. Bah thats silly, if you're gonna fight to the forester in red forest you should be able to use a technician without having to give him tools. It was for those games where you just couldn't find the drat tools no matter how hard you looked.

Galaga Galaxian posted:Yeah I know, and I know to some extent the tool kits are based on "realism" but you think they could've made an exception for one of the worst assault rifles lol. Oh well. I know in the early days they either made sure you had to have parts to swap or the gun would just always work without parts because the AI would try to shoot the broken guns and cause crashes. There's still a crash where a gun gets degraded to 0 and basically will stay perma jammed and the AI will try to use it. This normally doesn't happen because theres a script that ensures no AI drops a gun at 0% BUT if a gun is dropped on the ground and say a grenade goes off on it you can get the gun being basically destroyed. This happens a ton in jupiter where you get non stop spawns on the cause way and a stalker will pick up a gun that gets repeatedly blasted by explosives. There used to be a mod that allowed you to shoot guns out of hands, basically destroying guns which would revert AI to the sprinting mode which was hilarious when you didn't know what happened. You'd be having a great firefight then all of the sudden the other stalker would just loving zoom off into the wilds. It was also bullshit taking a random rear end birdshot blast and having your expensive gun get utterly wrecked.

In EFP if the stalkers you brought with you die you'd lose faction rep so i never bothered because they'd always go down to grenades or stand in the open instead of taking cover. Do you lose rep in gamma for having companions die?

Damnit see i'd always bring friends just to share extra loot with esp when traveling through an area like red forest or outskirts. Do you still lose rep for failing the personal quests? I still remember having the entire merc faction in dead city go hostile because 2 mercs died before i could turn in their quests haha--why the gently caress is it my fault they died?!

Yeah the only radio quests i accepted were in small zones like wild territory, rostok, AWH, and meadow. I loving hated searching vehicle graveyard or dark valley goddamn--darkscape on the other hand wasn't too bad once you found the spawn spots because there's only like 4-5 so you just run forever towards that location and scan it quick then run to the next.

These will spawn unique stashes, only found one of them in garbage in a stash i've never seen before and it had really good loot. There's apparently 1 per level so write the freq down but be warned you can look all over the loving map for it, i got lucky and it was by the hunter in garbage.
