The stand-alone mod S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly aims to be the most stable and customizable experience for fans of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games. It's powered by the Monolith 64-bit engine, a custom fork of the X-Ray engine.

Description

Life across the zone without restrictions for groups. Groups will begin to occupy points that previously did not occupy, but there is no complete war of factions.

Seems good for not-warfare Anomaly!

Do you know what else this addon does, Reter? I've noticed Mutants aren't homicidal/borderline suicidal anymore. When they take serious damage and are badly wounded I have noticed they enter fight or flight mode and since downloading this addon they crawl away or crawl and then die or go down fighting. It's pretty cool, was just wondering if there's more to this addon than just those few tidbits of details you listed in the description? :)

I'm a bit confused, is this mod related to the mod LivingZone Non Stop 24/7? Moddb.com

Because the files and folder structure seem almost identical. I'm asking because the other mod caused a huge amount of ctd's when i tried it, so i had to uninstall it.

Yea, this is the original mod; the NonStope is a customized version

This one doesn't have a WAR like the NONSTOPE, this is lore friendly, i'm playing this from a month and i absolutely had no crash

Do you have any special recommendations regarding the Mutant & Stalker population factor in the settings?

Dunno, i like the standard Anomaly population but someone suggest to reduce to stalkers 0.25 and mutants 0.5

Yeah, I'm really hesitant after that one. Great mod until you have to travel to another area.

Working fine so far, no CTD at Army Warehouses. Def. more going on but not absolute chaos.

Great addon.
Feel much more immersion. I'm now in Garbage and groups of stalkers fighting each other from time to time. Addon works amazing with JSRS Sound Overhaul. I would say it is 'must have' mod to fully enjoy the game since locations in basic Anomaly can be depressingly empty after a while. However, I'm not sure about spawns in this addon, hope stalkers would not kill each other and left you alone in space after few hours in game:p

The mod is stable so I strongly recommend!

It's suggested by the author to start a new one..

As far as I can tell it won't ruin a game in progress. IF it's like similar addons, it might take a while to see any real differences.

Excellent add-on. Really livens things up and various stalkers and mutants appear and places they didn't before. Makes you pay attention and takes you out of the comfort zone.

10/10 after some polish around the edges.

Question, does this affect preformance in any way? Also, does this addon make stalkers and mutants attack main bases? Like the warehouse containers in Jupiter or the bookstore in the outskirts? Cause I'm tired of having unique NPCs dying on me.

There shouldn't be any performance drop unless you're in a map with a lot of actors. That will drop fps drastically even on the beefiest rig.

What seperates this from the Living Zone Notstope version? In the other one I believe they attack each others bases and will capture territory, in this one territorys remain the same and NPCs move from places to place instead of just having a place empty for the duration of the game?

After playing some more with this add-on I can tell you - the Zone feels more alive, but it will mess up your quicksaves and the enemies will start appearing and disappearing randomly.

Is this addon to be played with warfare active?

Or is it for without warfare, just to make a bit of movement on npc's?

How does Livingzone Nonstope differ from this mod?

I know you didn't make this addon, but I thought I should point out some stuff that it does that may cause some issues.

- It uses a very heavy-handed approach to force stalkers/mutants to move. How? It reduces almost every location's squad capacity to something really small, way below the actual maximum capacity determined by available jobs. For example, this addon changes Clear Sky Base's capacity from 5 to 1. Which means you'll never have squads visiting the base.

- It changes the body cleanup script so that the number of bodies before cleanup is allowed is 15. It deletes the code pertaining to the sliders in the main menu, making those useless. Instead, it adds code allowing you to force a cleanup by pressing F7 (this isn't mentioned anywhere except in the actual script!). Was this addon created for a previous version of Anomaly and never updated?

- It changes the bias of faction squads to certain locations pretty significantly, and not in a way where biases are clustered, so to speak. So you'll often have squads deciding to go across the entirety of the zone pretty frequently. This has implications for Warfare, where this bias is accounted for in location targeting.

Hey reter, thank you for the addon! It runs fine on my game.

I'm using version 1.5, with hotfix 8 and the 1.4 update, with Generic Mod Enabler, version 2.6.0.157.

I'm a big fan of Stalker, and rediscovered the game after so many years. And I keep finding these gems, like Call of Chernobyl before and now, Anomaly and its add-ons. Yours, it helps with the immersion, at least for me. So thanks again!

How about fps? It there a drop or not? Because you increase ALife to 2000 m and this sounds crazy!

"Increased the number of corpses from 5 to 15, cleans after 180,000 seconds or if more than 15 dead"

Is this hard coded ? I want to stick to the current max settings from vanilla Anomaly if possible.
