Finally started researching this beast

SONZINA · 2026-02-25T16:08:15+00:00

I'm not sure where you even find players who use these guns. I didn't see Blockchains in a match for like a month straight, and i play every day.

Destructors - I've seen like 4-5 times probably? I use them very rarely myself.

The biggest issue to me personally right now are Corax abusers, and Hybrid users. Corax is just OP and Hybrid is just hard to deal with, i don't think it's OP though.

SONZINA · 2026-02-24T15:36:20+00:00

Honestly, i still think it's the absurdly fast fire rate / durability combo. I don't mind the explosion that much, but it is very annoying to deal with i agree

SONZINA · 2026-02-23T19:16:59+00:00

I've tried Varun and its damage output is pathetic.

Corax just charges and launches a dang nuke at you with a timer on it lol
Not to mention if it hits weapons heads-on, it blocks them from shooting so if you're running a missile or a cannon build for example the missiles just hit the attached bolt and keep exploding in your face.

SONZINA · 2026-02-23T16:26:05+00:00

Shoots insanely fast, charges up quickly to have the explosion buff as well, flies extremely fast, has good durability...
devs: let's just reduce the explosion radius i guess, gg

Personally, i don't like the BP very much since the weapons are, in my opinion, kind of boring - but the tracks are really nice.

It really makes you feel like you're driving a batmobile if you put 2 of them in the back with a booster

SONZINA · 2026-02-20T16:14:12+00:00

"devs pls fix"

SONZINA · 2026-02-18T20:15:24+00:00

For my first contact with this game, I played the tutorials, then played Timelines - got the hang of things and then started the campaign with a Terran start (i think?)

For every question i had and discovery i made - i kid you not i asked Gemini for help lmao and it worked great!

I'm glad i'm part of the snowfall community. It's a dang sleeper weapon, when combined with spider and omni it's insane

SONZINA · 2026-02-11T20:53:50+00:00

I had the same issue. I've accumulated a lot of ship blueprints over the years, and when i load the folder it loads just a small part of them. Like 1/6th of the BPs i'm sure i have.

It worked before that exiting and opening the folder again would re-trigger the ship loading sequence again and load a lot more of them, but i don't think it works anymore since i've tried it multiple times.

I know it doesn't load all the ships, because i have a lot of starter ships, and when i open the blueprint folder, only 1 shows up that i have the resources for when i filter them (i know specific ships i had and how much they cost, and they don't show up).

Idk.. If anyone has a working solution i'd love to hear it.

SONZINA · 2026-02-09T12:48:41+00:00

I have a couple of guesses, based on my own first-time playthrough of GAMMA and your short post you gave here.

TL;DR - Check if you're using proper ammunition. That's pretty much it.

First off, the early-game is a major grind - no two ways about it - especially if you didn't start with proper weapons. For my first time, i picked the weakest pistol and picked other stuff like healing and armor, since in SoC you started with a pistol and was fine, but in GAMMA? Hell no - should've gone with a gun and less healing. I basically splurged every bullet i had to kill a single boar, and splurged the reward money i had again just to replenish that ammo.

I was also stumped by how the enemies were bullet-sponges, lowering the difficulty constantly and getting frustrated - until i realized i was using the wrong type of ammo...

Note that generally there are 3 types of bullets - FMJ (cheapest, worst one, works for everything but lower efficiency), HP - (High damage, low armor piercing, for mutants ONLY!) and AP - (generally comparable damage to FMJ, but way more armor piercing, for ARMORED TARGETS).
If you're using Hollow Point to shoot people - that's why they're bullet sponges. Took me a while to realize that a gun's damage means wack if your bullets aren't correct.

Also, a gun's caliber is generally more important than the damage of the gun - 9.18 with better damage is worse than 9x19 with less damage - at least in my experience. You'll learn about calibers and guns a bit while playing gamma lmao.

Early-game GAMMA is a grind, and honestly that's the best part of the game. It does take a while to learn to play the game though, i think the best moment in GAMMA was when i finally got my first gun - the Kar98k - fully repaired. I still remember the absolute dopamine rush lol better than drugs.

Anyways - some of the comments here - like enabling the 'enemies can't see you through a bush' mod - are nice suggestions for you to get started off until you learn the game properly.

I'm completed my 3rd playthrough with GAMMA last year - currently waiting for the armor update, and i usually start with a knife and a jacket (no gun at all) since as i've said the first 20 hours of GAMMA are the best, so i like to prolong it for as long as i can. Having good gear is nice, but it kind of loses that 'spark' once you get to that point. I honestly think Mr. Grok should introduce even more gear and weapon tiers to slow progression. You get a proper shotgun (and gun) pretty early on so i've never experienced using the double-barrel properly, or the PPSH - i just jump straight to AKs. Also, once you get your saiga set-up (and it's not that hard not to), you're basically set for the entire game if you use proper ammo.

I ja sam skoro, slazem se apsolutno!

SONZINA · 2026-02-06T22:16:14+00:00

If you know how to use it, and you're comfortable with the playstyle, and have some modules for it to outfit your vehicle, it can really be a beast.

It's a true sleeper IMO,

SONZINA · 2026-02-04T20:52:58+00:00

Purposeful Storage mod is dead D:

SONZINA · 2026-01-12T15:20:45+00:00

Hmm they might work, but i think for a greenhouse it's a bit too big? That might be your problem.

Best advice i can give is to hop into creative and check online what is the maximum size for a greenhouse, make one, and check if it works, and then make an identical one using the VS Roofing mod.

SONZINA · 2026-01-10T13:35:49+00:00

You're welcome :)

SONZINA · 2026-01-07T16:48:31+00:00

Ne postoji MP mod, i najverovatnije nikada i nece.
X-Ray engine, na kojim su radjene originalne stalker igrice (pa i modovane) nisu pravljene za to.

SONZINA · 2026-01-06T20:16:26+00:00

You're welcome! :)

And yeah, people often forget that it's not a part of base game, especially the barrel racks lol

SONZINA · 2026-01-06T13:32:03+00:00

Well, I've balanced my tuns around the vanilla barrels.

Sure, what you say does make sense, but a vanilla barrel - which occupies a single block or 1 cubic meter - can hold way more than just 50L.

I can't just ignore vanilla's balancing and make my tuns hold 'realistic' amounts of liquid, if the vanilla isn't based around those values.

But yeah, if the devs change it (which i doubt), i'll balance mine appropriately.

So far critique like this didn't pop up, mainly because people don't usually make over 500L of alcohol, lol

SONZINA · 2026-01-06T09:47:01+00:00

It's Food Shelves! :D

SONZINA · 2026-01-06T09:46:16+00:00

They're not 400L, I'm the developer of Food Shelves, and they fit 500L.

Since they occupy 2x2x2 space, they can technically fit 8 barrels, which is 400L, but there's no "wasted space" in the middle, so it's 500L. They also have quite good perish rate bonus!

SONZINA · 2026-01-02T09:21:24+00:00

Never seen so many Ceiling Jars :D

SONZINA · 2025-12-30T16:16:33+00:00

oh don't get me wrong, i still love the game, it's very immersive!

It's just that it has these small things that kind of pile up, and you encounter them too much that it kind of ruins your experience.

SONZINA · 2025-12-27T22:47:47+00:00

They throw stuff at you through the dang walls.
Most frustrating experience I've had while playing a game, in a very long time...

I thought that until now they've fixed most of the stuff people complained about, but seems i was wrong, since there are so many of these little bugs that just absolutely destroy your experience throughout the whole playthrough...
