I just wondered if you meant the game options were on the launcher or actually accessible in play by Esc Options Game

While in-game, pressing Esc, Options, Game, and ticking 'God Mode' will make you invincible enough to get you through a difficult part

While still in-game, pressing Esc, Options, Game, and unticking 'God Mode' will get you back to normal

Brilliant. Well-explained, thanks.

I don't like cheating, but here's one suggestion how to use af Cobblestone
when you're in a cave.

Can be used as a light bulb

Brilliant, Strelok! There are quite a few places in the game where torches don't work, now it hopefully won't matter.

Thanks Sword. It would be great if there was a page with all these nuggets of helpful suggestions to make searching easier. For newcomers will seek certain info such as your installation instructions multiple times. But lesser known data such as infoportions etc, will only be found by using the site search parameters which need the right words to find answers. Sometimes tips are based on experience. So if these could be posted to a part of the Forum for referring people to, it would perhaps keep the Forum easier to use for discussion.

A compilation of some of the best tips from the forum can be found at the end of the Installation Guide. As you've found this one useful, I'll include it in the 1.10020 guide

Hi Sword,
I looked in the 31st July 2019 version which mentions an August version but I couldn't find to download anything later Sword. There didn't appear to be a link to Tips & Tricks. It does say the search facilities are limited, and to use advanced search and Google. I have found the Google Search works well in the past. I downloaded your Guide from moddb.com.
Please send me a link to the version with the Tips as I have not located it.
Thanks and regards, TrueB

Finally I found it in another drive. Excellent idea and very useful. Thanks Sword.

I recall that when you enter Generators during the storm, it is impossible to survive. You're in the center of Generators and there are zombie mercs all around and you can't see anything clearly to shoot. The storm suit doesn't do any good.

 Hi pchester
     many thanks for the massive new walkthrough pt.1, in the past it was recomended to   go down the caves with god mode on due to the serious lack of protection, is this still a  runner, also I did not know one could go round most of the cave system before seeing the  miner and so get lots of goodies, I have just restarted SS and would like to give it a try using   your cave plans and stash/sell all over wieght items collected on the return to sids place,  and then go back to normal mortality, I realise its cheating but but the shear number of nasties down there one has a poor level of survival with out the god mode as an opption.

Hi nemisis1842khann,

No part of StalkerSoup is intended to be so tough that you have to use God mode to succeed, but the option is there if you need it. IMHO, not having any worries about getting hurt takes a lot of the fun out of the game. On the other hand, so does constantly dying, so I do understand why some players use it.  

I seem to remember the Caves-of-old being harder than they are now, but that may just be my familiarity with the area having been through it so many times! If you aren't sure, I suggest that you make a hard save at the start of the Caves section and try without using God mode. If it doesn't work out for you, then reload and use God. Just remember to use the minigun in short bursts to minimise its kick, reload whenever the mutants give you a chance, and use bolts to locate and get past anomalies - especially those in the entrance to the Miner's cavern. Make use of saves whenever you complete a section successfully. Work your way through the area at your own pace, and reload your last save and try again if something goes wrong.

Good luck, Stalker...

Hi, if instead of the Storm Suit you buy/get the suit like Shadows wears in the Swamp and Adrenaline sells, or try Esc+S/outfits and scroll down you should find one that offers digital vision. By adding 2 controller Scalps for over 100% psychic protection, then up all a little to 100%, which is quite easy., if by now you have all the recipes. Once you are indestructible this suite works better imo than the Storm. Unfortunately, I cannot recall its name, but hope this helps. After all the Storm suit is supposed to be indestructible, so if not, then spawning one that does, should be fine.

During the storm, psychic isn't the prob, it's radiation. And in Generators during the storm, in addition to difficulty seeing, there are many zombie mercs firing at distance. I last about 10 seconds max. Running doesn't help because the zombies are everywhere. The walkthrough talks about the storm suit being indestructible and the zombies just being a nuisance. Not so.

If someone has started Generators during the storm and lived, please tell me how you did it.
