Looks like a few people still playing this mod. Unfortunately, I can't answer any technical questions. But I do know (from experience) that you have to start and save a game after the initial installation and before the patch.

I was inspired to update my walkthrough and thought I'd share it with you: Kwagmyers.github.io

I just uploaded the latest version of my walkthrough that includes translations for the Zaton dialogs. I will admit that half the time I don't have a clue what they're trying to say. But I think you'll get the point: Kwagmyers.github.io

I looked through the PDA's Encyclopedia and didn't see a description, so I'm guessing I never had one. But to answer my own question, yes, Karagoz offers one after completing the Return to the bar in Zaton task.

That's not it. Panther's Father turns neutral as soon as the bomb goes off. I stayed with him at the top of the hill while the Loners ran out to see what happened and they all took a swing at me before Panther's Father went down the hill.

Got it. The shield didn't break this time (when I took the picture). The teleport lit up as soon as I took a step toward the first artifact. The only issue is I died when I went through the teleport before breaking the shield. Fortunately, I saved before dropping to the cable. I broke the shield with one rifle grenade and was able to complete the task. Thanks for all the help.

Still working on it. The shield didn't shatter this time, so I think that might be it. I'm on my way to Agroprom to get the pic of Sakharov's honey. So I'll know for sure pretty soon. But first, I have to take a work break.

qq: After the explosion in Rookie Village with Panther and her father, some Loners turn neutral and hit me. I'd like an explanation for this behavior, please.

Yes. At 35 minutes you can see the teleport light up when he picks up the first artifact. That doesn't happen for me.

One thing I remembered when I took the picture before, the shield shattered. I couldn't remember if it did that on my first playthrough. Not sure if it matters, but I thought I'd mention it. The shield has reformed and I can't destroy it with grenades.

Here are my saves before and after using the teleport: Kwagmyers.github.io

I haven't gotten inside yet. That's where I'm stuck. There is no teleport on the cable. I'm still on top of the container.

Yeah, I've been through it a couple of times. I also looked it up in the Stalker Soup Guide, which says that you have to step in a certain place. But that didn't work either. I've been looking for a video with it, but have yet to find exactly what I need.

The quest starts with listening to Maximilian and Evil near the Unexplored Land to Army Warehouses transition. Then, you get Sakharov's wife's picture in Agroprom and take it to him. He tells you about a teleport off the helicopter blade that takes you to the top of the giant brain in X-16. From there, you're suppose to drop down to a cable with a teleport that takes you inside the brain's compartment. That's the teleport that isn't available. From there, the two artifacts on top of the brain are converted and you give one to Lighting so she can leave Monolith Control.

Come on guys, don't leave me hangin', please. I've tried various scientific suits with various artifacts, including the cactus, spiral, and compass. But no portal. I know I'm missing something, but can't figure out what.

Now I'm stuck in X-16. I got the teleport location from Sakharov after showing the picture. I used the teleport, picked everything up, read the instructions, but no teleport on any cable. I've used the Yantar teleport twice and reloaded the game a few times, but no change. Any idea what I'm missing (with respect to the game)?

Ok, forget the Old Village cache bug theory. I did more testing and found that you must walk from the doorway (where the teleport was just removed) toward Panther on the left side of the pillars. I was going between the pillars and the wall. I must have gone left of the pillars during my initial testing without realizing it.

So, no bug (sorry). But I think it's important to point out that you must walk left of the pillars to hit that spot even with the second pillar to trigger Strelok's response to the Dr.

No, I've completed the Find the Black Doctor task. It's a rather long conversation and then you pass out. Afterward, you talk to Cat as you leave the Hospital. And then I go on to Old Village. At this point in my current playthrough, I forgot to get the cache and went on. I realized this after reviving Fly and decided to test my theory. I went back to my save after Fang crashes the BTR into Astrologer's helicopter and teleported to Old Village, grabbed the cache and teleported to the Hospital. This time, the storyline broke where I've described.

I've reported this possible bug before, but now I think I have the cause (or at least, it's repeatable). It seems that if you get the Cachein the Old Village before going to the Hospital to save Fly, the messages stop after Black Doctor's first dialog. Everyone stands there pointing their guns and Strelok doesn't respond to the Doctor's initial dialog. I tested this with the cache locations behind the store and lower village.

Plichko moves on to Eastern Pripyat. See Voronin about the Help the Dutiers in Eastern Pripyat task. IF you're completely stuck, see my walkthrough: Kwagmyers.github.io

AEK-971 - If I had it, I sold it. And now I need it for Matvei. Anyway, according to the guide I can buy one in Zaton. Can someone confirm that, please? I'm just about to head for Red Forest, Limansk, and beyond.

Thx. I was looking on the wrong level for the northeast location. If there is five possibilities, I've never encountered the fifth.

Next issue: Can't find Charon's Sarcophagus cache. I know where it should be and I've looked in all four locations three times. I've rebooted game and PC in desperation, but no backpack. Sometimes things don't appear right away (maybe just me) and if I look at the spot for a few seconds it spawns. But that doesn't seem to be the case.

(Looks like I forgot to log in when I posted this) That was the issue. And yes, there is an ammo count. Thanks, once again.

I have the Altered Heart of the Poltergeist artifact, along with the two I got when I approached the Hospital. And yes, having artifacts in the container omits it from your inventory.

Or just shoot him and get all his tasks from Semenov (actually, I'm not sure that would work, but worth a try).

Until you get a Gauss, explosives and a shotgun with slugs/darts are your only hope. The first one you meet is guarding X-18. Go down the stairs and around the corner. As soon as you hear the roar, toss a grenade (and yeah, preferably F1) and sprint back up the stairs. As for others, get up high. In Swamps, two are in the Burnt Farmstead. Use the watchtower.

The guide's page 3, step 8 should be Labyrinth to Wide Territory. For the immortal, lure him down a passage (to get him away from the code-locked door) and sprint past him.

I have two playthroughs where I get stuck at the Hospital with Panther in a standoff with Black Doctor's men. One issue prior to this is Fang's BTR never moves. Also, the Generators and Beyond Guide say to inspect the wreckage, but I find nothing other than bodies and their weapons. I have the artifacts out of the container when I jump to the Hospital from CNPP2. I don't know what else to do. I get the initial message from Black Doctor, but that's it. Panther won't talk and Black Doctor says, "Hello..." but no real dialog. My walkthrough is here: Kwagmyers.github.io under Saving Fly. I've tried just completing the Help Fang task without getting the caches I mention.

Thx. Still very much a work in progress. The Home link takes you to all my other walkthroughs.

You have to do Sviblov's tasks. See my walkthrough for Clear Sky: Kwagmyers.github.io

Elsa gives you the Find Guilder task. My guess is that he's dead. You can progressively try previous saves, but you may have to start the map over again. I had a similar issue with the Jan22 update and reinstalled the mod without it.
