About this mod
A simple, compatible tweak that makes any piece of stash information available anywhere, easily
- Permissions and credits
What:
All stash information in the game can be acquired in just a few hours of playing, which will fill them with loot and remove all uncertainty and/or farming frustration.
Installation:
The file's already got the proper folder structure in it, just extract to the root STALKER folder. Should be compatible with
anything that doesn't already modify stashes.
Why:
I was having a fit over how obnoxious stashes can be, with their famed emptiness and such, and decided to fix it for myself. After playing around with it and finding it worked exactly as expected, I figured other people might want it, so here it is.
How, for anyone who cares:
I dug through the original extracted file and found every "group" I could, which was 9 of them, and modified EVERY bit of stash information to be available from any member of all 9 groups (there are no longer stashes only available from dead stalkers, or only the military, or only Freedom, etc). I modified EVERY bit of stash information to remove all the conditions, except a single kill of any human. You no longer need to kill 10 bandits in Garbage or need 5 "Experienced" this and 5 "Veteran" that in a certain zone for any particular stash. Before, it's entirely possible to kill 150 enemies without meeting a certain requirement and get nothing, then later have to go back and do it again to get the information you *know* is there and should have been the first time.
Once a single person has been personally killed by the player, there's a 33-50% chance (don't know exactly, but it's really high) that any corpse can randomly have any possible stash info on it, from any zone. Keep in mind the bug where a zone change or reopening the game enables a corpse (already looted) to have another piece of information on it. The net result is you'll end up with all stashes uncovered very, very quickly. I stopped receiving new stash information (got ALL of them) after Agroprom, before ever going to the bar. Once you have them all, there's no need of (or point in) re-looting thousands of corpses "just in case".
