Listen, you're preaching to the choir here Custer! It IS the best FPS currently HOWEVER, the one aspect that keeps me at arms length from the game is lack of game pad/ controller support. I can't function at all with a mouse and keyboard when it comes to any game beyond turn based play... I look forward to if nothing else there being OFFICIAL CONTROLLER SUPPORT in Stalker 2...

I've just gotten into Stalker Anomaly and wanted to share some advice. There are many awesome mods to experiment with, but vanilla Anomaly is a perfectly fine experience on its own. If you're totally new to the series (I never played the originals) then I would recommend looking up a guide on repairing weapons and armor first, as it's a vital mechanic but not explained at all. And quick save (F5 default) often! No shame in reloading your quick save if things go upside down, which they will.

[@CusterPlays]

F9 is my favorite key after F5 for sure!

[@leptir1]

For what it's worth. I tried anomaly several times. I finally took the advice and played the first, shadow of Chernobyl (with ZRP mod that keeps things fairly vanilla/canon). It was worth my time and I promise it is worth anyone's who is new to STALKER. It helped so many things make sense, and the lore was most welcome. I really wasnt excited to play such a dated game and I cant stand old graphics, but I promise, it's worth your time. The game goes quick.

[@ClaymoreClay101]

I love S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly but the AI seeing you through vegetation is really frustrating. I've heard its the result of how most vegetation, such as tall grass and bushes, are modeled in the X-Ray engine. It wasn't as much of a problem in the original S.TA.L.K.E.R. games since they used less vegetation due to graphical constraints. It feels like more of an issue in Anomaly because of the increased foliage, particularly which graphical add-ons that increase the amount of vegetation.

[@CatspawAdventures]

This 100%. I'd be far more willing to enable all sorts of hardcore features if the AI was bound by the same rules as the player. But except for the tree trunks, all of that grass and foliage is completely transparent to the thermal-goggles-wearing AI, and as far as I'm aware there's just no way to fix that. Like you said, it was rarely noticeable in the older games because they were so barren. It's only when you start adding more realistic amounts of foliage that it exposes just how badly the engine handles this.

[@vondantalingting]

You can fix that problem by lowering grass settings. Anybody who played using Dx8 as default setting knew that already. Lowers the emersion but hey! Ukraine's a steppe btw. You're more likely to find flatlands instead of jungles there.

[@Nebo8ful]

@@vondantalingting There isn't a single biome in Ukraine, it's mostly flatland but the north and the area around Kiev (where Chernobyl is) are mostly forest and swamp

EFP is great, and they're testing a new build at the moment that gets rid of the HD models, which I enjoy, but I definitely prefer the vanilla models. Of course they're pimping those out with DICK and FVM. Gosh the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. modding scene is so great, such quality and FREE work. The devs work hard on all of it, it's like Fallout's modding scene but better imo. Vanilla S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is so great as well too, so when you add great mods to a great game, it just gets better and better. In fact, it's such a great game that a lot of people prefer Vanilla. I enjoy both, but either way, I feel like it's one of my favorite series of all time and I'd say that it's even pretty noob friendly due to all the customization you can do. I really stan your quality videos Custer, makes me excited to get back into my current save.

One of my biggest wishes in life, like if I ever had a genie and had 3 wishes......first one, without hesitation or any shred of doubt, I'd ask to have my memory wiped of all STALKER games and experiences, to experience the series and many mods all over again for the first time! I try to replicate it by taking long breaks and hoping I forget things, but I always remember lol. STALKER is by far one of the most memorable gaming experiences I've had in my life, and for that it became of of my favorite games ever made. One of a handful. But no game has ever grabbed me like Stalker did, fallout is good, well certain fallouts, but they just don't hit the same level. All the other similar and compared games don't come close either, they are still good, fun and enjoyable but they just aren't as unique and immersive as Stalker and the many mods. I'm so excited for STALKER 2 and I really hope it's that new experience that will cement itself as a milestone in phenomenal gaming experiences! Can't wait!

[@WormholeJim]

Watching made me think of some of the setting options included in Anomaly which I think would elevate the experience immersion-wise of the Red Forest. And the game in general, in my opinion. Namely tweaking "Mutant population" and "Stalker population" growth factors under Gameplay difficulty These won't affect maximum number of either in the zone but is adjusting the pace at which new mutants and stalkers spawns the zone. Tweak the mutant factor up a couple of decimals and the stalker factor down, and you got a lot of stuff going boink! in the night, and not much gear easy accessible outside bases. For Faction development it means that the zone is fairly empty for stalkers until the early midgame where different factors start sitting on the various maps outside their starting maps. Tweaking these and many others is done midgame and is separate from choosing difficulty level at start of game. And these two absolutly make for a vastly different and more of a loner-vibe'ed experience of the game

Is there a way to make my game look like this without the extra difficulty of playing efp ? I'm very new to stalker and feel like I'm not learning anything on EFP just always starving to death and being crushed by movement and aim penalties when I get shot.

[@CusterPlays]

Yeah, you can add a simple reshade to make the game look good and BaS for the cooler weapons without making the game harder ´ However, EFP is reaaaally modular, i higly suggest you to go over to the MCM Mod configuration menu and just put everything on a easier setting

[@0ff_13lvck4]

@@CusterPlays can you clarify what the abbreviations mean? I'm only like maybe 5 hours into learning. :(

Boomsticks and sharpsticks mod

Loved this game. Was so excited for it back in the day.

[@TheDonod]

It buggs me that there arent more games like stalker out there... This game is one of the best games for me ever!

[@goguce1074]

Are you olny using EFP ? Or you have any other addons, because your game looks awesome and you had a pistol in your hand that I never saw.

Does the grass provide functional concealment for you with this modpack? Or is their a specific mod that does it? Ive been playing gamma and frequently get shot by AI despite not having LOS. I dont think the grass/foliage is present for the AI.

hope some mainstream KZbinr played this tho more people need to know about it

Red Forest was supposed to be a creepy place, full of monsters and places to just disappear, eerie and unsettling. In Anomaly/EFP, it's Vietnam: Slav Edition.

You have 200+ mods installed, or there are 200+ available? Could you make a video on the best mods please. In particular, are there any mods which update the graphics? Thanks

[@CusterPlays]

If you saw the video you would have got your question answered my man

[@lukasgroot]

EFP Modpack = 200+ mods/addons

I will create the infused vodka mod, where you can store artifacts in vodka bottles and after 24 hours the positive effects of the artifact seep in the delicious liquid without the negative ones, and the effect lasts a given length, and you can cumulate effects by drinking multiple bottles but the more you drink the drunkiest you become, and you can also become an alcoholic where you tremble if you don’t drink and have hallucinations. Would be such fun 🤩

I started playing this tonight and couldn't figure out how to get a decent weapon and ended up perpetually killed by mutant dogs. Can't even figure out how to heal. Then I randomly get electrocuted by certain objects.

What base game do you use for the Anomaly mod? Havn't played stalker since the days of the first release and I'm keen to get back into now that the community has improved the games

[@64Gianfar]

Very good, I tend to prefer Anomaly with the Old World add on, closer to the core nor a pushover... Very much agree what makes Stalker is the unpredictability of the AI as no replay is ever the same.

[@shadowcat0201]

You can go on top of Forester's tower and go across the wire to the other building and get a stash there.

[@SoundsBy80K]

especially sfx reminds me to tarkov. footsteps, glass, voice lines, bullets fx, ads sound, and more

[@k4pt3yn20]

200+ mods installed? But if with difficulty s.t.a.l.k.e.r. works in the vanilla version

[@Kman1989]

yo man. Do you have mags redux disabled? If so can you tell me what mods you disabled? Mine crashes when i disable it
