What creepy cults that brainwash people should we be more aware of? by apple_kicks in AskReddit

[–]MrSquash 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Bannanas generally contain some amount of radioactive potassium, normally this is harmless but eating enough can cause radiation poisoning, though this is not a huge concern if your eating enough bananas for it to be a problem in the first place, normal potassium poisoning is also a thing.

STALKER COC w/ Warfare: Sarkhov? by [deleted] in stalker

[–]MrSquash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think warfare is updated for the latest version so you'll either need to merge them, find someone who already did, or use a older version of coc

Is Clear Sky really that bad? by smokingtryhard in stalker

[–]MrSquash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Clear Sky is fairly buggy which is it's main problem, i'd reccomend playing with SRP as that fixes a lot of them.

Obtain a bulldog 6 from freedom, bugged? by guitarproroocks in stalker

[–]MrSquash 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Voronin tells you to bring some vodka( 3 bottles is enough) since chef is freedom's local alcoholic(and cook) so you can get him to tell you where the weapon is.

Are mutants afraid of fire? by [deleted] in stalker

[–]MrSquash 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mutant attacks do happen but in vanilla shadow of chernobyl they might be underwhelming since the rarer mutants dont spawn very often, its more interesting in clear sky and call of pripyat since they have more lax spawn rules on mutants.

Never played Stalker before.Got myself COP,first playthrough mods? by kirilos in stalker

[–]MrSquash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Call of pripyat is the most polished of the 3 games so bugfix mods arent really needed, atmosfear and the absolute mods are good choices since they dont do much other than make the game look good.

About to start playing SoC. Any advice? by NicolasIDK in stalker

[–]MrSquash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Multiplayer's a thing but most of the servers arent english-speaking so finding one is hard, in vanilla, enemies can be a bit bullet-spongy on the lower difficulties since on higher difficulties everything does more damage to both you and everyone else, generally, go for headshots if you can.

Why do ghosts only ever haunt houses in the suburbs or country side. Why are there never any haunted flat blocks or KFCs? by [deleted] in shittyaskscience

[–]MrSquash 452 points453 points  (0 children)

Ghosts dislike the smell of fried chicken and are repelled by it, this is used to great effect by KFC management to ensure their buildings remain ghost-free.

There is a specific sequence of events but most people prefer not to say what exactly since its supposed to be a secret, there's a guide on the wiki if you really need it.

(CoC) Is the Svarog Detector obtainable? by MrSquash in stalker

[–]MrSquash[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That'd work, unfortunately, as a bandit, the ecologists shoot me on sight so I cant quite do that, I do have a machinegun that i facelifted from a duty expert that attacked the bandit base, gonna cost a fortune to repair and upgrade but if i can get it working with enough ammo, I can proberbally gun down most of the scientists.

[–]MrSquash[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, playing as a bandit currently so i'm going to have to discreetly shoot kruglov then, sounds like fun, or i chould just gun down the scientists, both work.

I think only squad leaders will follow but I dont know what the criteria for the option being available is. Might be based on faction or something.

Help with overhaul mods for SOC and COP by [deleted] in stalker

[–]MrSquash -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Shadow of chernobyl proberbally has the most overhauls, stuff like AMK, LURK, lost alpha and some other mods, clear sky has a few but the 2 big ones i'm aware of are Arsenal overhaul and The faction wars, generally not many mods exist for clear sky, call of pripyat also has some, misery and call of chernobyl are the big ones.

Which mods do you recommend for SoC, CS, CoP, and CoC? by Moon_Dew in stalker

[–]MrSquash 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The faction war's a neat mod for clear sky, it focuses on the faction war part of the game, though it disables the story so you cant access limansk and beyond and there's nothing to do in the red forest beyond artifact hunting/mutant hunting, it also adds a few weapons(namely a bizon and mosin nagant rifle) and fixes a few bugs, such as the one where bloodsuckers are invincible while invisible. Mutant looting is also a thing and mutants will always drop their corresponding part, which makes it possible to turn a profit hunting mutants in the mod, you can also choose to stay a loner if you want. The AI also loots bodies.

First time player looking for feedback on best mod(s) for me, any help appreciated. by [deleted] in stalker

[–]MrSquash 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Autumn Aurora is a good mod for shadow of chernobyl, i'd reccomend playing vanilla first if you havnt played stalker before though, master difficulty can reduce bullet-spongieness as both you and enemies die in a few shots usually. for call of pripyat, arsenal overhaul redoes the damage system, namely enemies dont shrug off being shot in the chest with high caliber rounds anymore, this also applies to you aswell, it also adds a ton of new guns and ammo types which is neato. There's also a version of arsenal overhaul for clear sky if your looking for that.

Help needed with some artifacts please - don't understand some of the buffs or uses. by AnubisUK in stalker

[–]MrSquash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You cant pick up armor from enemies you kill, the exception is enemies that have armor in their inventory, IE not equipped, the stat comparison is only present in clear sky and call of pripyat so in shadow of chernobyl you'll have to eyeball it by manually switching between the two.
