About Stalcraft Meta
Tools and data for equipment optimization in Stalcraft.
Our Mission
I started Stalcraft Meta to provide a clearer look at how the game's stats and mechanics work. In a game where small differences in equipment matter, having access to precise data helps in making better decisions.
The goal is to explain the math behind ballistics and artifacts. This allows players and factions to evaluate their gear based on simulations rather than guesswork.
The Technology
The tools on this site are based on custom engines that attempt to mirror the game's internal logic as closely as possible.
Monte Carlo Simulations
The TTK Calculator runs thousands of individual combat simulations. It tracks armor plate durability, healing ticks, and hit distributions to show you how a fight actually plays out over time.
Memetic Search Engine
The Artifact Optimizer uses a hybrid search algorithm to test thousands of artifact combinations. It identifies builds that meet your specific requirements for stats like radiation protection and movement speed.
Real-time Data
Our item database is synchronized directly with official game data via the EXBO API, ensuring that stats, barter recipes, and item properties are always up-to-date.
The Team
milkdudofafrica
Lead Developer & Stalcraft Veteran
I've played Stalcraft for over 8,000 hours on the NA server, mostly in high-tier competitive subdivisions. During that time, I spent a lot of my own time figuring out how to get the most out of my gear. I used my background in software engineering to build Stalcraft Meta, turning those calculations into tools others can use. You can find me on Reddit, YouTube, Twitch, or the official Discord (milkdud.).
Community & Accuracy
Stalcraft Meta is a living project. We constantly refine our algorithms based on community feedback and game updates. If you find a discrepancy or have a suggestion for a new feature, our contact forms and feedback systems are always open.
