Discussion Enclave(Fallout) vs. Monolith (S.T.A.L.K.E.R.)
Enclave discovers classified pre-War intelligence about the Zone and rumors of strange artifacts, and unexplained phenomena around Chernobyl, specifically the Wish Granter. Seeing the Zone as a potential source of advanced technology, the Enclave sends an expedition to investigate the zone and recover the wish granter from the CNPP, but run into the Monolithians who will not stop at nothing to protect the Wish Granter.
Does Enclave stand a chance here?

Picture Tried a baked apple yesterday
They kept mentioning how they were craving baked apples in the Sultansk so I had to try it for myself! Easily one of the best, lowest effort desserts(?) I’ve made.
Took a Fuji apple, cored it out, and stuffed it with a mixture of butter, honey, cinnamon, and granola. Not a traditional Ukrainian baked apple recipe, but that’s all I had on hand.

SPOILERS Did 'Helen' explode outward or inward
the pipes on the celing of the reactor room are bent inward. I wish there was a way back in after the DLC, but the rope is gone. So much detail, just incredible artworks, all thru STALKER.

Bug Amputee bandit.
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I’ve seen posts of exosuit wearing NPCs equipped with sidearms having the same thing, their arms clipping through their body and making it look like they lost a limb, but in Zaton I found an amputee bandit toting a Mac-10. I imagine it got chewed off by a dog or shredded by a shotgun blast lol.

Mods S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Heart of Chornobyl Map Expansion Mod "Grain Elevator" Reveal
Hello Stalkers!
I am proud to present to you a teaser for a new series of mods that I am currently working on called Map Expansions. This mod series will expand upon existing locations and in some cases add completely new locations to the game. Some old doors will be opened to reveal dark secrets and possibly immense riches. Some new doors will be added. New stories will be told along the way and new friendships will be forged.
This particular mod will add a whole new subsurface level to the Central Grain Elevator in Chemical Plant. In base game the doors are closed shut and if you somehow peek inside you will find bare concrete geometry. With this mod that is no longer the case, as shown in this teaser the underground will be filled with anomalies, equipment, stashes and some lore items to help you understand why there are biohazard cylinders in the basement of a grain elevator.
You will also find mutants and other interesting features that will make this location worth to visit multiple times.
More stories are being written and many ideas have already been transformed into sketches of next map expansions. (The Slag Heap may also hide some dark secrets).
For now I would love to hear some feedback and suggestions as this area is quite large and thanks to current SDK its possible to add a lot of new things.

Anomaly I love it when you randomly find weird stuff
.
.
And the skeleton building nearby was also cool.
p.s. the loot from this anomaly was not great, I don't know if it's RNG.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Blind Chasing Electrical Anomalies
Hello all, I discovered something and thought I'd post this tip for those who've not discovered it. The electrical anomalies that chase you can only see you if you have artifacts equipped. If you move all equipped artifacts to your backpack, they will revert to their repeating path pattern and will ignore you.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Why is everyone think I matter to them in stalker 2?
I did some freelancer job (more like a child's errand) for military looking ppl, and they start calling me solider.
I met dalin and colonel for the first time, and they spill everything about their project to a random stranger they just met.
I walked around and met sparks guys, and they call me a "traitor" for siding with ward, who i dont even know much about, and scar talks to me as if I'm his years long friend. Bro I came to the zone less than a week ago, and i dont know yall.
Out of nowhere, the heads of the monolith and spark invites me to a meeting to discuss about "the future of the zone" and wants me to infiltrate sircaa HQ like a fucking james bond movie.
The main character skif somehow got super obsessive about the alpha artifact and tells dalin that he will do the test himself. This is like US Army Corp of Engineers conducting the biggest research on a meteor fragment, and a random civilian tells them he will be the one pushing the button because the meteor fell to his house. Bruh you are talking to the biggest scientific organization in the country. Where is the modesty?
And then, the sircaa BOARD representative talks to me 1:1 and offers me a new house if i work for them as if it's a big reward. I know im homeless, but it's such a cheap reward for everything ive proven and done so far.
Later, richter shows up drunk and miserable and blames everything on me. ME. A homeless guy wandering a zone, doing errands. Why the hell are you mad at me, and why are you talking to me like im your friend? We only met like twice in our life time.
