>Kenshi 2 Announcement:Soon (tm)
>What is Kenshi?"A free-roaming squad based RPG. Focusing on open-ended sandbox gameplay features rather than a linear story."
"Be a trader, a thief, a rebel, a warlord, an adventurer, a farmer, a slave, or just food for the cannibals. Research new equipment and craft new gear."

>Demo Linkhttps://lofigames.com/
>Tips for beginnersLearn to pick your fights, don't hesitate to run away and don't reload unless you die, any fight you survive makes you stronger. Building an outpost will attract trader caravans and hostile raids. Building one too early might be more than you can handle. Pressing F1 will open the tutorial screen. Mousing over the stats screen and HUD will reveal useful tooltips and additional info. If the enemies feel too difficult - get crossbows for your units. And don't be afraid of the RP autism - engage in it whenever you can. And do unlock the sliders.

>>525637354 (OP)Do post your combinations of optimizing mods. Given how lazily Kenshi was coded - such mods are indeed mandatory.
Do these things exist in vanilla or is it a mod issue?

>reloading save causes some of those to go on about their day
>many hostile npcs lose interest in everything around them until save reload
>escaped prisoners sit outside of cage without following
>>525637951>Given how lazily Kenshi was codedSorry to bait that one guy who hates people defending indie-devs, but I would call it far from lazy when all their time is consumed in the project.
>>525637951i play vanilla and never had a problem after 600 hours. i'm also not a bitch faggot, maybe that has something to do with it.
Best mods to ease stat grinding?
I hope they really fill out the combat system in K2. Aside from the obvious dual wielding and extra weapon types like knives and flails etc. I'm talking massively expanded movesets for each weapon class, with unique moves for indoors/outdoors and different stances, what weapons you have in each hand, current health state, experience and so on. Playing with the Flashier Fights mod really highlights how important the specific attacks are to each weapon's identity and feel, and I want every weapon to excel in its particular niche.
>>525641278just use the fcs and make a start with all the stats you want
>>525641278grinding is a meme
Assassination and stealth are basically cheating, right?
>>525644161stealth and assassination is for basic bitches
>>525644161it depends. i use assassination to knock out scrubs and put better armor on them so i can beat them longer. sometimes i knock out pussies and take their weapons to force them to fight with their fists like men.
>>525637354 (OP)Some mods to try.
>>525628726Lack of any real flaws.
>racism is only verbal, they don't do anything to you>most biased worldstates, overthrowing Esata just replaces her with more violent Shek, nothing as nuanced or interesting as the UC or HN, Esata and Bayan are just the good guysThey should have made it that if you ally the Shek and defeat Phoenix, they start taking over areas you didn't intend for them to like Hive Villages and Nomad Villages, because Esata is still a Shek supremacist.

Holy fuck there really are a lot of beak things in the Crater.
Island Base in Gut, because we need to hide all that hemp from the trader's guild.
Funny how they freak out about Hemp but are completely fine with Buying Pepper (a spice made from Hemp)
>>525640007>>many hostile npcs lose interest in everything around them until save reload>>escaped prisoners sit outside of cage without followingI've encountered this in vanilla. Try importing.
>>525663050First time I used it, thanks.
You have to please her and show her humans emotions or she'll use your skin next, what would you do?
https://files.catbox.moe/24mzue.jpg
>>525653884pepper isn't really made from hemp irl and even if it was it wouldn't be a drug. hash can be made from hemp by concentrating the very small quantity of thc containing resin found in hemp leaves. cannabis can be smoked straight but hemp needs refined before it's a drug. even in cannabis the seed doesn't contain the thc that gets you high so if you're selling hemp seed as a spice it's all good, there's no way anybody is getting high on your pepper.
>>525653884did you use rhe building editor to use your buildings as part of the wall or is there now a mod that can let you do so?
The game becomes quasi-RTS when the player can see his donuts fighting enemy NPCs from the same race. One needs only to dress the donuts differently, shape them in a peculiar way, press F7, and enjoy the show.
Why mine the iron ore if the iron ore comes at you anyway?
i dropped a bunch of gohan, about 15, when running from bandits and went back and picked up all but two because i ran out of inventory space. after a couple irl hours i returned to that zone and there were about 25 gohan stacked in the same spot. cool bug.
is there a rep cheat? Don't like that as I adjust prisoners, I just get another hit whenever I move between cages
>>525712537Huh, must be a weird object permanence issue. Zone gets unloaded, item presence gets lost in the mix, regenerates original and duplicate at some point when reloading the zone...The zone transition behavior is one of the harder aspects to test for because it requires not being where the activity actually occurs. Always been a headache for state management because there's no global tracker for viewing. What happens off-screen is a mystery and often a hopeful result.
>>525714146Reactive World's world state checker is a decent template for making a cheat assistant. While you can try your hand with Cheat Engine and such -- the simple in-game answer is creating a follower / base resident you can talk to with dialogue options for forcibly altering relations. Add a player-talk-to-me and populate it with chains for fixing relations with whoever you want. This is precisely how I run around with debugger buddies messing with my mods.
Is it a good idea to have your entire squad enslaved at like rebirth and just AFK so everyone's strength can be at 50-60? They can't die to animals or enemy squads and can't starve to death seems like a pretty nice idea to throw people there atleast early on.
>Organize male donuts to work farms - need food for travels
>Take their armor away - they won't need it for a while
>The smell of working men's sweat attracted a bunch of wandering Viera warriors
Thankfully (?) Kenshi's NPCs can't just kidnap these men and toss them on the nearest beds for nefarious purposes. The human male farmers are safe to work.
Strange... there's a village south ran by United Cities with peasants instead of slaves!
>>525717265>The smell of working men's sweat attracted a bunch of wandering Viera warriorsGood mod idea
>>525716635Slavery can be pretty good for that. It's also great for grinding assassination and thievery. I don't know about doing that with your whole squad, best to have one guy able to break out everyone else.
>>525719028It would be the closest thing to a "surprise sex time" mod, if it would be possible to explain to the game via FCS that "character of X\Y gender will grab character of Y\X gender and toss that character into [modded double bed with sex animations]" if XYZ conditions are met", or something.
Right now I have donuts that have "job" activated. When they have nothing to do - they run to sleep on beds. The guard female sheks, when they get even minor damage, always go to the beds. The male human farmers, after a harvest, go to sleep on the same beds. And it just happens that those are sexbeds, from the bedsex mod...
>>525726936You should start practicing logic in Unreal 5 blueprints for Kenshi 2, anon.
>>525731179I have declared a fatwa on Chris Hunt. I will not buy or pirate Kenshi 2.
>>525731179Do we have any sense what the modding capabilities will be? Honestly, UE5 historically complicates the modding process and the spotty details regarding Kenshi 2's modability are raising some questions.
Are you sure this game won't be even MORE restricted than Kenshi 1? We can, technically speaking, reverse engineer right down to the bones what the first game is. Difficult, yes, but it's possible. Unreal is obfuscated and proprietary by its nature. And what you can do is highly subject to what the creator permits along with channeling it through the UE blueprint environment...if you can.
I'm no betting man here though I wouldn't be surprised if Kenshi 2 is a much more locked down experience. The FCS might remain the extent of things. Guess we'll see.
>>525733232>Honestly, UE5 historically complicates the modding process and the spotty details regarding Kenshi 2's modability are raising some questions.Just assume Chris is working towards open-endedness and that you can at least do what's possible in Conan Exiles.
>>525734179You can be as optimistic as you want, laowai. But many other posters here - me included - are very pessimistic about Chris "dickless" Hunt.
>>525734179It shouldn't be taken as an attack on Chris or LoFi. I'm not going to assume anything, I need proof, documented systems, working and accessible. Ambitions are met with realities all the time. That is the exact reason we were presented with the Unreal ultimatum.
There's a propensity amongst fandom(s) to default to blind faith and support. He made a beautiful game. My concerns, given the outlined justifications, go unanswered. It's fine to support the game and likewise I feel it fine to scrutinize what is said versus what is. A ton has been said about Kenshi 2 and it would be appropriate to temper expectations a little before people end up surprised by what they get. Unless of course LoFi has aces up their sleeve I don't know about. Which is the point - we don't know and they haven't shown what you're assuming is there.
>>525737615Ah, well, I'm already in the Unreal system, so I don't have any time investment burden from any unmet expectations.
>>525738000C++ is the definition of boring to me. I guess you work on other games.
I just re-imported a save until I got a southern hiver spawn in a UC slave mine for several hours.
I could've easily used mods, yet my mind would not let me.
>>525739401>can make millions of cats by buying items in place X and sell it with 200% mark-up - all in all it will take 10 IRL minutes to get a million cats>my autistic brain insist that I must instead rob every downed enemy, no matter how shitty their weapons and armor can be>I have to run to and from NPC towns every time my donuts get ambushed, or if I send my donuts to attack some NPCs.>"It just keeps happening" (C)You and I. We suffer.
>>525738163In Conan Exiles' case, the modding via DevKit is purely limited to blueprints (so no C++ allowed). And not really, just a hobbyist.
>>525741872Unfamiliar with that game.
>>525640007probably modded problems altough vanilla is already bonged out, importing usually fucked up my savefiles and that's why i try to not doing it when i can avoid it
check if you have any mods that fuck with NPC ai, most mods that do so fix one problem and create another, specially when paired together with others that do similar changes
would you recommend deleting saves that i donโt plan on ever playing again?
>>52575266826 save files, 720 Mb of total weight. I keep them on /D and insert them into /C like CDs for PS1 I had two decades ago.
Why keep them? Well, I had a playthrough for Neeko. Eventually it got nothing else to do, but Neeko hired nearly every Unique NPC on the map. So I grabbed that old save file, kicked Neeko, and saved the game under a new name. Now I have a jump-started playthrough, and the old Neeko playthough under the original name. Options are nice to have. Especially when 26 options weight mere 720 Mb on a big HDD.
>>525752668yeah, they take up space after all. One time I had 20GB of save files for Skyrim without even knowing. Hoarding too much isn't good in general.
>>525752668i take screenshots of my game on its last state as a team photo of my squad, save those then i delete the save, mostly because if i leave a save is because it got corrupted/i changed my modlist and i couldn't open it up regardless

atleast i got to salvage this one
>>525754832I have like 500 saves, thank god my saves are compressed and deduplicated
What's with some slaves getting back in their cages after freeing them?
Not like the usually ones who freak out and don't want to be freed. I'm talking the ones who yell FREEDOM, then immediately hop back into their cages.
>>525775234I'm guessing it's the assigned job making them do that. I think that's the reason why when you kill all the slavers and then free them, some of them will just stand next to their cage for eternity.

They should make Slaver Hivers in Kenshi 2
Opening old save files can be interesting sometimes. Some time had to be spent, but now this Viera's fortress, "Burning Love", can be navigated again. This spot is perfect for grabbing dry and wet soil for the crops farming purposes, but there is not much in terms of flat surfaces, just like the Viera themselves.
The Viera mod has these "Bog Bunnies". Neutral bandits (?) living between Shem and Burning Forest. They do not wear pants.

The latest comments say they crash your game now.
>>525830678I am subbed to it from my 600 modpack and haven't crashed, though I haven't visited "hive villages and in the HQ of World's End"
>>525787143What is everyone doing right now?
Currently playing Shek Only - goal right now is to remove all bandits around The Hub and the shek city (the starting area) I am based in Shem. Doing mining, research, leveling everyone up and getting a big enough squad so we can remove all the bandits from the area.
After that going to properly remove the dust king. Couldn't do that in my previous play through even with mercenaries, I must've gone there too soon and he wiped me out.
>>525830967Moonman you heckin' racist why don't you post the screenshots?
>>525836504too busy bein raciss
I am farming the two copper nodes and the iron node right outside shem. My guys auto haul to a building I own. I then sell the copper. I do not plan on farming or cooking as of right now.
I got guys on a roof top training. I had one with a backpack overloaded with ore set to auto follow a guard to up my strength
How do I raise dexterity other than finding bandits to shoot at?
Toughness is also.. tough... because I don't want to lose limbs.
I'm at the point where I am buying nicer armor from the shinobi thieves.
Training till I'm able to kill a bandit squad without help of town guards.
I am also going to kidnap and recruit any good quality Shek bandits I find. I have a bandit leader right now in a cage.
Shek only run. Long term goal is to fight the Holy Cities.
>>525838252>dexteritytatakae
>>525830668No. Not yet at least.
Slave Traders and Traders Guild will never see peace in the east.
Say, are these guys strong enough to escape rebirth by fighting their way out? Doorth and semi-consistently fight two guards but there's not way we could beat 10 or so we can actually escape should I just try to flee at night and hope bone dogs attack the guards?
>>525841442Don't you just kinda, run away rather than fight?
>>525841558I would of done that but I'm pretty sure their athletics is too low and I'm not really sure to how train athletics in rebirth.
>>525842360Run away and try until it works?
>>525841234https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aejGgFPrnI
Peace will come and we know just how to achieve it.
The Holy Nation controls resources critical to the survival of civilization. They are and have been less than ideal trade partners. The situation is...unacceptable. So we ventured to change it.
Twenty years ago we provoked the gorillo from its cave. Poke it enough with a stick and you can enrage the beast. Unfortunately for the brute it fails to see the trap we've laid. Little by little he'll grow fatigued thrashing about in anger.
Our agents made inroads long ago. You can see the fruits of the labor in action today. The Phoenix chases ghosts their own making. All we had to do was fan the flames on their superstitions. Demons, oh no!
When the boneheads are unleashed upon the southern borders their footing is sure to slip. Okran can't be everywhere at once. Well, his troops certainly can't be. It's a waiting game they cannot win. Those days are over. The old edifice is rotten to the core. It must be destroyed to usher in the new dawn.
>>525840062Fight.

>>525856792correct assessment
Is there a way to clear an area of all the trees/rocks/metal scraps lying around?
Today l got a lesson on game design, the Food Biome expansion (or something like that) mod adds spices made from Cactus (salt) green fruit (sugar) and hemp (pepper) plus they also added cinnamon as a new crop...
The problem? You need to dry these crops first before preparing them (meaning there's two cooking instances involved in the creation of spices)
And dry green fruit specifically is edible...
Now I know why Chris made alcohol a trade good instead of something consumable my stupid donuts eat that shit and it only feeds them like 5 nutrition so they eat more and more when I put the dry fruit in a container...
And the worst part? It takes a 50 cooking skill chef 4 hours to make one of those, and you need 6 to make one bag of spice, which also takes another 4 hours to make.
To put this into perspective:
A 50 cooking Skill chef would produce 24 Rums and Grog a day given enough supplies, so they roughly make one an hour.
Spices are way more profitable than alcoholic beverages if you know where to sell them, but still. It takes a whole day to produce enough dry fruits to procure one bag of spices, meaning that you actually need more than a day to just make a single bag of sugar/pepper/salt/cinnamon
I might tinker a bit with the mod to reduce it because I find it ridiculously slow
>>525698747The shift+ 12 building editor. I make sure to left the last bit of wall as an individual segment to make it easier to move around.
>>525862019>Food Biome expansionIronically that mod is good for the Port Royal-like experience. I do enjoy the different prices, even though the mod made money even easier to get.
>>525862019What you just outlined is why I pivoted away from weapons, armor, crafting, technology and significant economy reworks at the core layer of my overhaul. Balancing out -the numbers- is so prone to subjective interpretation by the player that it warrants offsetting such things to a separate module.
It's nigh impossible to meet the needs of all players when you cannot know if someone is going to opt for Legendary of Kenshi or stay as vanilla as can be.
The Grineer troops stationed in Mongrel, with a faction tag "Mongrel", got beaten by the local ninjas. The local ninjas then healed the defeated Grineer troops. The expedition to this weird city that makes no sense was memorable.

>>525858130Come to think of it, I don't recall there being any gay people in Kenshi. I guess a plotline about the Holy Nation hating them was too much for Nat.
>>525877060I'm guessing you haven't spent much time around Skeletons...
>>525877406funnilly enough, today i dreamt of gay kenshi skeletons, sadly i forgot absolutely fucking everything about the dream, wich makes me sad because it was a very fun dream

The "rare skeletons" do spawn, but only the "male" models. Dissapointing, but the "all female skeleton go on a island wide carnage" playthough is on a pause anyway.

En route to a Tech Hunters' waystation, the rabbit women visited a frontline HN fortress to buy medicine for the commercial purposes. The Holy Men wisely pretended that they do not see the Viera that enters the gate.

I do recommend "Little Garden" mod. It has things that the vanilla UC nobles should have in their houses, and more. It even has usable bridges.
"Sahilarious's Feminine Clothes" is also a good vanilla-friendly mod to dress your female donuts. No broken stats, no 100% defence against any form of damage. Just some colored cloth to cover thy peasants.

(except suckers will just preorder regardless & your "antiwoke boycott "wont amount to much anyway either so whatever). would you actually want anyone other than Nat and Chris working on Kenshi II? Id guess anyone else would 100% screw it up (it wont release until 2035 anyway).
>>525958601>Like who would you actually rather have working on Kenshi?Some middle-aged Chinese and Japanese NEETs. Next question.
>>525958601No reason to reply to evil folk, anon.
I just need Kenshi 2 to be as moddable or even more so preferably, have consumable grog and hashish, and maybe more options for cybernetics.
How do you think they will manage hivers in Kenshi 2?
According to The Skeletons Hivers are something relatively new, so they shouldn't be running around 1000 years in the past, even less so if the second empire is still running otherwise the se
Skeletons would at least recognize them.
Plus is likely that all the Hiver regions in the current map will be underwater by the time of Kenshi 2
>>525960629There is a reason why so many people here - me included - are pessimistic. We do not live in the 2000s anymore. Things only ever go worse and worse. Chris had his "passion project" in the pot since early 2000s. It took him almost 18 years to "finish" Kenshi. And these days, when all the fun is verbotten, and Nat is drunk on power - how can you assume that Kenshi 2 won't be an another Avowed, Dust Born, etc?
>>525960893>relatively newRelative to what
>chris had passion
>nat is drunk on power
>how can you assume
>>525959097Why would you want some boomer to work on Kenshi? Also, why would you want asians to make Kenshi, if you want Kenshi Boyband edition just go ahead say it bro? If asians make Kenshi, Instead of "Kenshi's world doesn't care about you, you don't matter" it'll end up a really lame "Kenshi. . a road trip adventure. with their stylish over the top fashionable outfits, camaraderie & the power of friendship. .community & cooperation".
Chris as no passion left but /ourqueen/ Nat will make sure Kenshi 2 is as successful as it can be
>>525960893Hivers were added later on, so i doubt hivers were supposes to be some new thing, the BDC dialogue is just silliness/overlooked, also theres a actual fugitive hiver named razor that just randomly lives in the BDC bar with all the skellies. Its kinda confirmed theres going to different subspecies of hivers in Kenshi II also. Just expect them to retconn a bunch of stuff from kenshi 1 mainly though (most of the lore in one is "mysterious" & unreliable narrator anyway) The skeletons hid or destroyed alot of stuff too.

You are 10 years late for that trend, chumbo.
>>525961474Elden Ring & Black Myth Wukong are better than basically all the shit Western devs have done recently. If you're forced to point to Larian, who are specifically the anti-industry norm, you're out of options. The best game devs moved on 15-20 years ago. Those who remain are second-rate corporate dogs cashing in on a passion that has none left to offer.
>>525960893Retconned due to popularity.

>devs trying to police a basket weaving forum
>>525842360what fucking athletics? you're meant to sneak out. there's even a specific rock you can hide behind and leave in a day barring bad rng
>>525964637I personally dont get the hype behind Elden Ring, its interesting but i wouldnt say its a masterpiece of a videogame or like pinnacle of storytelling or something, I liked Black myth Wukong, but i wouldnt put it on a pedestal really. I like Kenshi more than those games, Elite Dangerous, Hellblade was also much better and way more interesting. Even GTA 6 is going to be miles ahead of those games you mentioned, im not even a fan of red dead, but it was still better.
>>525966253Fine, have your preferences. Chris (and Sam) made the vast majority of Kenshi. There are now another 30 people in the building. Your question was in regard to why someone would prefer anyone else to make Kenshi 2. It is because I do not trust the modern crop of Western game devs. They're activists who got a game design degree and maybe made some flashy shit in Unity or Unreal. I absolutely would trust a FromSoftware dev over some untested nobody handpicked by Nat because they check enough diversity boxes. The fuck is your point?
>>525964637look at all the asian videogames that werent that great, like whats happened to the final fantasy franchise, or new resident evil remake games (which honestly really suck compared to the originals, i beat these and was actually a big fan of the series). Also really liked no mans sky (british) which i forgot to mention earlier, also Cyberpunk was polish and great imo (could've been better, but the bar is pretty low rn)
>>525967001We're on very different wavelengths. Cyberpunk was a prime example of corporate disconnect, lies, marketing hype, blame-shifting the devs, under-delivery, fraud, you name it, they did it. How the mighty have fallen.

members of big corporations like Blackrock and Vanguard - who don't actually produce anything, whose only purpose is parasitic โ infiltrate everywhere they can, exploiting the flaws of the modern capitalistic system. As they own vast portions of shares, they become able to coercively influence the corporations they've infiltrated so they can advance certain agendas โ which is why we see even major Japanese companies like Capcom and Square gradually injecting this Western brand of propaganda into their games.

good times
>>525970907Ah, good old Larry Fink, and his "we must force the behavior" line. Jokes about the "early life section" aside - it always puzzles me how some men and women have only one joy in life - to make sure everyone else suffers from their reign of tyranny. It also puzzles me how some mental masochists don't understand that they are - no cap fr fr - mentally broken, and the mentally intact people (like I am, as an example) do not, akshually, want to live a life of misery disguised in this or that way, forced by the invisible "social acceptance" that only exists in the heads of those mentally scarred nutjobs. It is like those people who centuries ago that insistet that they - only THEY - are the true Christians... By acting in a way that would make *atan giggle like a happy spoiled rich girl.
TL:DR - Kenshi 1 should have been finished by Chris - without Nat - but with a team of dedicated fellow autists. Bongs or nips, slavs or gooks - doesn't matter. Chris should have found similarly autistic men and hired them. Instead he did what he did. And now I have Kenshi 1 that looks like an undercooped pizza with no toping at all.
On a side note - do try Wuthering Waves. It's a fun game.
>>525974051>Kenshi 1 should have been finished by ChrisI think what we have is option C.
>A. Chris continues work on the game. Didn't happen, the poll PR stunt provided justification for the already made decision to move to Unreal. (This became limited updates and an end of life to studio support about two years ago.)>B. The game is open sourced. Didn't happen, various reasons for not going this route were offered, chief amongst them was the mention of middleware. (There's also the IP protection aspect which I do understand. Conversations often ended up being "but this part is proprietary. PhysX was recently open-sourced. So...unsure how much merit the old arguments have nowadays.)>C. As like option A's outcome implied, the first game's development ends and work on the second game begins.Why is that good? Because the game is placed in stasis. 1.0.68 is Kenshi 1 as it likely will be for anyone who encounters it. There is no taint of the modernized dev team with took many cooks brought into the kitchen. The first game is the closest interpretation to the original vision. What becomes of Kenshi 2 then doesn't particularly matter. Assuming the world doesn't completely collapse then AI should have the game fully de-compiled & refactored in less than two years.
>>525976435>then AI should have the game fully de-compiled & refactored in less than two years.I do hope Omnissiah will help us.
>>525976790Trust the process.
i like bugmen but i also donโt like cybernetics. how do i keep my bugmen from losing their limbs?
>>525977359I think Chris wants them to lose their limbs. But there is an option "never" for the limb loss.
>>525979821the issue is that i want my cake and also eat it too: i like the sight of limbs flying off into the distance with each errant swing of beepโs sword
>>525974051Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
>>525977359I rarely lose limbs on my bugmen (usually play as worker drone with several soldier drone companions. death or the mines for princes) after like 40 toughness, and I just wear heavier armor before then, like some nice Samurai Legplates and Plate Jacket/Armored Rags. Tend to get knocked out from hits to the head or chest before many hits to the arms or legs
I actually just lost an arm on my worker drone for the first time in a long while fighting the Cannibal Grand Wizard before the game crashed about 2 minutes later, and the worker came out fully-limbed on the rematch. Fate guides him
Speaking of Larry Fink. Longen and his Traders Guild are having a little recession right now. The (white) farmer rebels celebrate their first major victory against the scorchlander tyranny. TENGU YOUR NEXT

>>526015092One fat bastard I know played Kenshi.
>>526046352I am not that fat
Yesterday I accidentally hired some random woman while looking for recruits and tried to make her real ugly. That made me realize this game doesn't let you create fat women.
You can kinda make them relatively thick almost in fattie territory but you can't make them actual landwhales, Ells's body type for example is almost impossible to replicate on a female character.
I don't know how to feel about this because is not like I would actually want to create fat women unironically, but it kinda bothers me that I don't even have the option to try.
Also the stomach slider on female characters makes them look pregnant when you max it up
>>526052530She looked fat when I created her but all the combat and swimming made her thickfit. She is not maxed out. So if you want a landwhale max her out and keep her at home as turret guard.
>>526053613I have sexual thoughts about this female character.
>>526052530I made an Atlas
>>526052530>Also the stomach slider on female characters makes them look pregnant when you max it upSomehow the stomach slider is connected to the ass. Chris did the absolute bare bones effort regarding the character creation.
>>526058718It bothers me more that there are just 4 base faces for each gender.

>>526063902Thanks humble gardener. I like that the rebel farmers took over they are my frens. Holy Nation are my frens too. Boy the Holy Lord Phoenix will love when I parade Tengu in front of him.
>>526065380Perhaps I should continue my "Shek farmer" playthough. I never had any pro-HN games, only anti-UC and anti-SK. Kicking the HN feels wrong - people who hate me also hate the HN too, so...
Look at him go
>>526066131>Kicking the HN feels wrongSame. They are the main Greenlander faction and I always want them to do well. The only time where I fought against them was when I rp a coup and set up my own Holy Lord Phoenix with his gear.
>>526066669Damn Tengu's shredded.

What kind of trade routes do you run? I never tried getting money via using mark-ups. Other than from products produced in ones base.
These bunny creatures are amusing to me.
Holy Lord Phoenix was very happy about our victory over the UC. With his permission, we will colonize the Spider Plains and continue the fight against the remaining Shek from there.
>>526072417>What kind of trade routes do you run?I grab items that are cheap in X and sell them in Y, and vise versa. I can't make a RP out of that because Kenshi is lazily coded and it's impossible to explain to NPCs what is "trade".

There goes my plan for a water base.
>>526086885Technically speaking you could pre-fabricate such a base with a mod and then stick to the buildings you place.
>>526086885Can't you just F12 your way into making such a base, I swear a guy on Reddit did one of those
If I can't make a character like this in Kenshi 2 I don't want to play it
>>526094091Nat calls the shots. You won't be able to make a donut like this one.
A bunch of Corpus wackos came to the base to buy items. The base has no trade booths. I am sorry modder-san...
Liquids should have been consumable in the vanilla. Seeing "eat sake" reminds me that I needed a mod to make the drinks something more than mere merch to sell for a small profit. Chris did have the bright idea to make the hunger bar controllable from 0.5 to 8.0 scale. After he did that - he could have renamed "hunger" into "sustenance" or something like that, with the barrels of water being cheap but heavy and bulky "food" for the characters. Oh well. At least Kenshi 1 is moddable, somewhat.

How do I get into Kenshi?
Is city building necessary? Is having a party necessary?
>>526158941My recommendation would be to stick with a very small party, five maximum. Enough so you've got some safety in case of emergencies but not too big that you lose your attachement. Avoid basebuilding early on, once you start building a base you kind of get sucked into it and it messes with the game flow. Buy a house in town/s and stick with that until you've got a good chunk of research and cats.

My headcannon is that some skeleton somewhere hordes food just so no fleshies can eat it.
>>5261589411) Buy the game. You're in.
2) I have not engaged with the base building mechanics. I've been buying safe houses in cities and operating out of those.
3) Technically no, but it's rough. I'd at least get some expendable roadies to patch you up and kiss boo boos, a one way trip scout, and someone who can carry you away from shit like spiders that will eat you if they find or make you unconscious. Squires for your knight.
I really wish Kenshi had buffs and debuffs from mood. Modders would be able to create amazing dishes. What modders can make now is fine, but I want the "blood spider stew" to give my donuts some WW-2 combat drugs type of buffs.
Buffs from food*. Good food should give stats boost, bad food must give stat debuffs.
Although buffs from mood should have always been a thing in Kenshi as well. Friends saved you after a Beak Thing tried to eat you? Stats boost from the good mood! Friends tied you to a pole in the Fug Islands? Stats deflated due to the bad mood. Etc etc.
Rimworld and Darkest Dungeon have some good ideas about morale. 'tis a shame Kenshi is too bong-coded to implement any of those good ideas, even if Chris Hunt had a passion for perfecting his Magnum Opus...
Imagine a WW2 Kenshi style game. Or even better WW1...

No but it IS a hassle if you want to actually not die all the time
having at least buddy around to patch up your main character and save them from capture and from getting eaten alive by monsters will save you a lot of headaches
Somehow communism found its way onto Kenshi. The rif-rafs that live in the fortress-village do nothing but argue about politics, grow weed, and hunt the swamp turtles. They at least don't attack others to steal their food...

Also - you underlined my point, just in one direction. Yes, eating right before a battle should make one barf all over the killed enemies.

>>526309469I don't know when but after playing games like this who have amputation mechanics I started to find amputees aesthetically pleasing.
Not as a fetish, I find legs and arms sexier when they are attached to a woman, but as a character design thing.
Disembodied body parts (mainly fingers or arms) always made me lose myself in my own head thinking about them.
And I actually love the way prosthetics in Kenshi look, specially when the prosthetic looks thinner than the stump of the absent body part.
Say, what would be the best way to train a group of guys in kenshi? Would picking up corpses while beating bed bound beak things be the next best thing? I tried AFKing at rebirth but that only really works with 1-3 guys.

>>526312673I fucking hate Reddit bros.
Guy I know who was on there for a REALLY long time with over ten thousand "karma" just got banned, I asked him why, he said he called a mod a faggot. LMAO his account is gone gone
>>526317298No different around these parts. The reddit is the usual shithole you'd expect. it's the admin crossover between it and the community discord server (and Steam forums) is where the problem lives. Same people sitting in positions for years banning what is now thousands of people out of the discussion space. Who even knows what people want of this game anymore? Half the playerbase is banned for spicy language... in a game about freedom to commit endless crimes, mass murder, promotes slavery, gratuitous violence via cannibalism and amputations, toppling governments via terrorism, etc.
Whatever influence Chris had is utterly squashed by the usual thought policing. That is why I have low expectations for K2. The only critique the game ever gets comes from this goddamn board.
>>526318324No one cares about critique, anon. Try reflecting on the use of constructive critique without dehumanizing the other.

I am surprised the LATAM modder didn't give the agony demons any ranged units. Right now they are walking XP dispensers. Good enemies though, very fun to fight against.
Some Dust Bandits are being steamrolled by Viera caravan guards again. This is about as humiliating for them as being dunked on by the hiver caravan guards, except this time they are being beaten by a bunch of rabbit women.

What mods can you recommend adding more dialog into the game? Thinking of bringing Cat-Lon to Tinfist for example.

Operation "Dusty boy snatchers" is a go!
The operation "Dusty boy snatchers" ended very quickly. Dust bandits were no match against the tall rabbit women's well trained bodies. In a sense - it was a disappointment of a fist fight.
The prize of the rabbit women were some foodcubes and dustwiches stashed in barrels, and several cages on the second floor. One cage has a crazy hyur inside...
I'm becoming ever more certain the UK will collapse before Kenshi 2 releases.
>>526133637kaizo run, set up just south of dust tower, there's a lot of bandits throwing their lives away at my gate, then the slavers come and they somehow get pissed off that I'm chucking their new slaves out of my property so they attack and get trampled.
anyway i've decided to take my contingent to the grey desert so i can fix and arm that watchtower at the waystation, but now im not sure where to go, i've 7 strong units nearing 50 in their fighting stats and another 10 units that are 10-30 in stats, with cannibals and shriekers expanded im hesitant to move up there, but im gonna send a fast scout to see how we might fare, failing that we'll go to the deadlands and clear out the ruins in hope for treasure.
>>526413268Omoshiroi. Do post screenshots though.
>>526413245If this was /pol/ I would say many words. All I will say instead is "Yeah, probably."
>>526413245Don't worry UnrealEngine5 is going to obliterate kenshi as a title/brand. It's so actually over. The monkeypaw curse is hitting so hard rn. Community should have asked for remastered Kenshi 1. Instead of UE5 slop 2.
>>526417145The "Community" is made from silent "I don't have time to keep tabs on everything" (they suffer) and "LISTEN TO MY OPINION" (they don't care about anything, they just crave the attention their parents never gave to those mongrels).
I hope some computer tech savvy Chang or Tanaka or Kim will "make" a not-Kenshi game soon. Not only it will hurt Chris for his laziness - it will also make all the fake prudes angry (they masturbate to their own fetishes, but they hate me for liking long legged European looking anime women with large tits).
>>526420570Unfortunately after 7 years it's looking like the choices will remain:
>deal with Kenshi 1 in post-maintenance mode>wait for the unoptimized UE5 mess to arrive with an expected "sorry, we'll release mod tools soon" tagline alongside itMaybe by 2030 things will have pivoted but our best choice continues to be decompiling Kenshi 1. Chris has from day one said he doesn't give a shit what people do to the first game, he moved on.

>>526454315I am tired of this safe edgy shit.
>"Yeah bruh, my game is like SO tough! Slavery and murder and blood and shit everywhere!... What?! Killing or enslaving children! YOU ARE BLOCKED, YOU SICKO!!!!!"On a serious note - this isn't a stone thrown at Chris per se. I am just very, very tired of all people responsible for this stupidity.
Evil people hate children. They kill children, they rail children, they eat children, etc etc. And the anal insistence of those who own the shares of the gaming platforms (Steam, Origin, etc) and the game studios (from AAA to small studios) that "imaginary children must never ever die in computer games!" is stupid. Seeing a dead kid, in a game, will motivate me, the player, to get revenge for the killed kid. It's a human factor. I don't care (much) if some adult was too retarded to live, and got himself or herself killed. Kids have no clue though. I want to make the island of Kenshi safer for kids, as any sane man would. Not being able to do it cheapens the immersion in Kenshi. All I see in game are adults too retarded to visit the nearest Tech Hunter outpost, buy some seeds, and plant them right outside the Tech Hunter outpost to grow food. Kenshi's wheat - I remind you - can grow anywhere. Chris made it grow everywhere. And he also wrote that Red Rebellion pre-game event, and he turned UC peasants into bandits because... Why exactly? Oh, "in the real life it takes" yadda yadda and blah blah blah to start a farm. Meanwhile my eyes can see that I can just toss some Kenshian wheat seeds at a bunch of dusty rocks, pour a barrel of water on top, wait for an ingame week, and then grow enough Kenshian wheat to feed half of Squin.
Nonsense. Nonsense, stupidity, and Total Boomer Death that can't come soon enough. Anyway, post your Kenshi screenshots.
>>526456068why tho? my games are strictly 4k mature shek ladies harem, no degenerate furries exist in my game. only cutest ladies of highest quality & performance + mesh fixes
>>526456068yeah it might be just be a pr thing, iirc deus ex and the first fallouts had killable children. I imagine some of the devs or publishers are worried that if you can kill kids in game it might inspire you to do it in real life or the same with rape, its not exactly a mechanic i've seen in any game aside from VNs. if there were malnourished children in kenshi or any game, i'd feel heartbroken seeing them live like that. it would only strengthen my resolve to help them. i think most people would'nt be twisted psychopaths murdering children if that was a mechanic.
>>526456068The suspension of disbelief the world demands of the player can be pretty disappointing at times. While I'm not looking for total children death you're right the arbitrary line drawing gets super gay. My classic examples are the
>Mongrel makes no fucking senseand
>Moll (and the Flotsam Ninjas) are turned into low effort mary sues because someone couldn't be assed to write a link to the UC in her past.It doesn't matter if it could be modded as such. The choices made and decision "this is fine" is what grinds my gears.

>>526461557Everything needs to be dumbed down to reach a wider audience. theres ratings, certain laws and also ppl that will cause witchhunts against such things that will generate bad pr. thats why its safer to just go diversity and "woke" route in some form.

The little liberated man seemed to be very grateful for the resque. Nagai assumed that he will run back to his home once he is done kissing her feet, figuratively speaking. Instead the freed little man insisted that now he will serve Nagai until his death. How troublesome.

also super easy to train
Will i like kenshi if i adore rimworld? I love sandbox games
>>526537942Can i somehow make it easier with QoL mods? I am a bit intimidated of playing vanilla because of the steep learning curve
>>526538540Kenshi goes a step beyond what mods like Prepare Carefully do for Rimworld. You can customize nearly every aspect of your start, the way combat flows, the balance of it, make recruits more available, bounties more plentiful, purchased goods cheaper, etc. While we are restricted in how far we can push those changes the true hardest part of Kenshi is finding the mode which works for you. I personally avoid large modlists because of this reason - they get a little too impersonal and overly curated.
You're essentially playing the role of both the player from Rimworld and the storyteller AI via modding.
>>526540335Also. The game is niche & outsider, not difficult per se. Some would call it piss easy. The learning curve is steep but short and is arguably the best part of the experience. Many look back fondly upon their first few runs before they opened the wiki and had the world fully explored. Can only do it once, so to speak.
>>526540335>>526540665This sounds great. I'm mostly interested in mods like recruit prisoners and 5x XP rate to skip some of the grind, also training dummies to level up. I know the grind is part of the fun but can i play it how i imagine it?
>The game is niche & outsiderthis alone makes me so intrigued
not sure if i've ever killed someone with them slumping down on their knees like this
>>526540335>>526540665One other thing, i have a very short modlist for rimworld, i want to do the same with kenshi
>>526542116>>526542414You're already on the right track. Do know if you get the itch to add (or remove) some mods from a playthrough you can use the Import option on the main menu to change up an ongoing run. Think of it like a garbage collector for saves. Only have to be cautious when say removing a large overhaul via import... otherwise it's bretty gud.
>>526543876Cool, i really wanted some reassurance about my idea about the game. From what you've said, i also guess that the game gives you freedom to play as easy or as hard you want.
>>526544449Absolutely. The game starts, like Rock Bottom, can even add difficulty to the startup. People who like the combat shenanigans sometimes use mods like https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1971913645 for extra abuse.

>>526537156>Will i like kenshi if i adore rimworld?There is no breeding. No organ extraction. No mood buffs\debuffs. Kenshi is a slice of empty pizza with no topping, so you will have to visit Gabenshop very often.
>>526540665>Some would call it piss easy.I do. Once you have enough meta knowledge - you become a bored god observing your mind-controlled ants that almost never lose a battle, and never die.
>>526542116>to skip some of the grindI suggest a mod on "idle stances", it has gym stances that train several stats (not all at once). It allows me to give 32 MA skill to my donuts, so they always have "a" weapon on them", and they know how to use it.

Seems like the Viera are breeding like rabbits in the Border Zone. No wonder Kenshi is mostly grassless. There are mods that add a "counter-weight" to the peaceful Viera patrols, which results in fights between them and the modded bandits that for some reason have mid to late game stats. Why must the modders add such bandits to the "noob zone" is a mystery. Still - the "goat raiders" are a fun bunch to fight, do recommend.
Dear Keng, its day 103, we werere up north roaming darkfinger for treasure. the crew rolled up to what they thought was a hive village only to find it the base of Meatlord. a few of his patrolling squads were heading our way so we crouched in wait beneath a sandbank south of the village, when they crossed over the bank we struck them hard. it was so easy we decided a full assault on village. first we sent a scout to draw out Meatlord and his captains and they took the bait perfectly, the scout drew them over the bank and we surrounded the heirarchy but the clash of our steel must have alerted a villager and before we could say "human tastes good!" we were outnumbered 3 to 1. within minutes a few of our weaker squadmates were already on poles or in cages. but the rest of us persisted until every last cannibal lay motionless. we ransacked the village, found some interesting loot. it was all meat related. then we freed our squadmates and carried them on our shoulders, we limped to the edge of the village and were nearly on the road until the big bastard got up and chased after us, one swing of his club and 2 on body carrying duty were knocked down, he swang again and the same thing happened. luckily we piled on him and our bull charged until the cannibal boss was unconscious. we were unable to take his weapons and armour, but we will be back to face him again. the view here is lovely, we took a photo, hope you like it.
>>526558657Kino experience, me jelly.
One would assume the Dust Bandits ought to run in fear away from the Viera these days, after all the cases of assault, robbery, etc commited upon the bandits by the Viera. Hundreds of Dust Bandits were sold to slavery, both to the local slavers and the "aliens", including the Bang Bunnies. Alas, everyone is suicidal on Kenshi, and no-one learns anything.
If Okran wanted Scorchfu's feets to remain unsucked he would not have created me!

>>526567994what is it about kenshi that causes scorchies naturally to attain a fetishistic physique?
If only Kenshi had garru-pulled carts. Then the modders would be able to give the players drivable vehicles, like those space age trucks.
A bandit base of operation, a UC city, and some outpost even further. The Wetlands are crowded.

The temptation to attack the whole ninjatown was very high. But there were too many of them, and they were too tough to be destroyed by a group of 21 Vieras. Maybe next time.
Some Red Sabers decided to make a bad, life-changing decision. Unfortunately for them - there is a TG slave market nearby.
Times to sell some bandits into slavery, and turn their gear into pocket change.

While the Viera are selling the looted bandit gear for some foodcubes, a mute hiver soldier wonders what did he do to deserve such life.

>>525645393>Viera modGuess I'm reinstalling
>>526639174It is a fun mod, but it has flaws, and it adds a lot.
>>526641604>it adds a lot.Really?
I assumed from the name alone it just added Viera models
>>526642024It adds the Viera and Viera accessories, in this sense it adds "a lot". The amount of the Viera that got Isekai'd on Kenshi is quite significant. Some of them decided to become bandits. The Viera were supposed to have a unique line of dialogue for every race and gender of everyone on Kenshi, etc etc.
By the way - do check other Viera related mods on the Gabenshop, for combat animations and whatnot. Some guy even tried to fix their dialogues by reducing the amount of time the speech bubbles pop up, and doing other minor fixes
More exotic alien technology on Kenshi.
Guys....i can't wait to buy it... should i just pirate?
>>526661946Uh, yeah. Version 1.0.68. Use workshop downloader or Nexus for other mod curiosities. The money is not going towards the game and its development, it's just funding Kenshi 2. If you like it and want Kenshi 2, buy it.
>>526663184I'll try to be patient and buy on summer sales
ok /kenggers/, what are some none vanilla+ mods that you tried, that were so good you can't play without them?
>>526661946>should i just pirate?Absolutely

>>5266641672B, Steady the Clown, Radio mod, Gaussbow, New Ninja Clans
>>526664167>vanilla+ modsMods that unfuck the base building and inventory management. Mods that stack "ammo" and "charges" of things so I don't have to stuff my donuts' backpacks with lightweight but barely usable things. Mods on performance are needed to not turn my PC into a B-52's engine.
>>526436139>>526431594Is there a good strategy to deal with beak things?

Random ideas to make the Shek Kingdom more interesting gameplay wise
>Make the SK discriminate based on strength
>guards, store owners, and normal Shek warriors will check out for your stats and the max HP and react accordingly
>Characters judged as weak might be harassed and attacked even inside city walls (and the guards won't give two shits but they will heal you so you don't die inside the city) will find less recruits and some shops will refuse to sell them anything of good quality (you will still be able to sell to them, but not buy)
>This gets worse for hivers because of the max HP thing
>Characters who are judged to be strong will have a better time inside a shek city but from time to time they will be pestered by some shek who wants to prove themselves against the player.
>Shek bars always use SnailHouses And in the second floor instead of beds they have "Shek Fighting clubs"
>There you will find Sheks fighting free for all Inside a ring and for some cats you can also join and even get to choose your weapon
>It would work like the Arena on the Mount and Blade games, allowing you to bet on yourself
>In a crazier world you could also get multiple characters into the arena and all of them would be able to hit each other
>High ranking Shek wear their usual armor underneath animal pelts as a way to show off their hunt trophies
>Seto for example could wear a black Gorillo's skin as a cape and Esata could wear the skin of some super rare animal that's unique or something to give her a more distinctive appearance.

After a week long siege, Tengu's Vault is finally worn down by the Holy Nation in a battle of sheer attrition. It's gates are thrown open, the defeated samurai strung up on stakes and given the chance to repent their sins and accept the light of Okran, or surely die beneath it.
>>526689105Excellent ideas all around. A shame Chris Hunt can't imagine the Shek beyond "they are like... le Klingon! And like... le Samurai!"
>>526309339>>526311287I just right clicked two settlements and a city and can just keep going because I'm too strong.

Chris Hunt, every day I find more reasons to hate you.
>>526702035Are you DEHUMANIZING Chris? Stop complaining and get in line for slobbing on the knob. This next game bro? THIS NEXT GAME? Bro, you don't even know. Your concerns? Wrong. Your critiques? Shut up, LOSER! Game development is done by an ELITE class of professionals beyond reproach. Have you ever made ANYTHING? I didn't think so, you're some nobody, OBVIOUSLY. Sit down and be quiet while the devs cook. *jazz hands*

Rogue off-world arms trader. Explosions don't work on Kenshi, but bullets still ignite.
Funnily enough, in the early version of Kenshi - back in 2000s - Chris tried to include guns in his future magnum opus. But since he is a typical Englishman - he is allergic to guns, spices, and fun in general.
/keng/ post something of your own onegai.
>>526717604Sure. This is a spawn areas update I've been fiddling with for quite awhile. Aside from some newly made crossovers in need of further observation it's pretty close to the layout muh overhaul will use.

how come we donโt have any of the hilarious politicking and conflicts of the three kingdoms period in kenshi?
I'm curious now. Is there a mod that turns skeletons into actual skeletons? This is impossible to search for.
Okay I got my first base in the Shem. After a while I vastly expanded it and now my autism compels my to rearrange it in a tedious process of dismantling everything, manually collecting everything and then rebuilding. Something that will take some irl hours to do. Any advice?
>>526766904>Any advice?Beak things will spawn in your base

Is there a way to stop turret gunners killing each other? These morons up the wall try to shoot enemies at an impossible angle, so they end up tearing each other asses apart with harpoons. Almost lost three guys to brain-dead AI shenanigans.

What's the value for cut resistance efficiency? Can't be arsed to scour the 'shop for a specific patch and I wanna do it myself.
>>526879332Do you mean the "no cut efficiency" mod? I think he set it to 0 to make armor better because Chris can't math or something.
>>526880996>make armor better because Chris can't mathFrom memory that mod is an overreaction to an edge case. Like if you've got low cut resistance outer layers over a high cut resistance under layer you'll get some marginal extra damage from the outer layer's conversion happening first, so the mod makes some drastic changes to mechanics and balance. It's not exactly Chris can't math.

whatโs the deal with traditional Shek culture basically consisting of murdering people while naked?
Is it impossible to get a cannibal slave? Reloaded like a dozen times, bitch runs away every time I buy her.
>>526898317It kinda makes sense for them because they come with natural armor by default.
I can see some Shek believing that "armor is for sissies, true warriors win fights with their natural bone plates!" Or something like that.
Also since they like to use Heavy weapons it makes sense for them to prefer armor that doesn't affect their use of those (that's why Esata wears shitty light armor, any other mid to heavy piece of equipment would render her unable to swing her weapon

>>525645393>>526922251Katana is good for most of the game when you fight barely armored enemies. Chris assumed most of the players won't have patience for Kenshi past the BDN or Dust King's tower siege.
>>526924268Everything is "poltard" to those people who refuse to post their personal screenshots of them playing Kenshi. How curious!
>>526894685Yes it adds a couple:
One where Mourn is upgraded by Tech Hunters.
One where the United Cities take over.
One where Reavers take over.
What's your favorite city in Kenshi?
For me it's Catun, mainly because of the idea it sells.
A city on top of a hill surrounded by a dried lake, almost completely cut off from the empire. It's just fuel to the imagination
>>526939293Catun, Hub, Squin. Somehow I am always close to those cities.
>>526933931Didn't know, domo.
>>526932171Ah, the time when mopsy flooded Kenshi workshop with ""his"" work. Fun times. I wonder if he is still alive.
>>526939293Empire cities are better than the rest (Catun, Heng, Clownsteady, they're generally well made across the board). Holy Nation cities tend to be a little more sensibly placed but less interesting to actually be in.
>>526944330He is still alive, posting Ukraine bot stuff mostly
>>526899258I have a similar problem. I'm doing a Skelly run and tried the old "knock em out and buy em later" strat, only he never came up for sale, some drifter from Clownsteady. This was at the slave market in the hook, so bandits and spiders kept happening and eventually the people doing the selling were dead. I sat there for like a week. So instead I sprung him and dragged his ass all the way to my chrome dome in mud town, released and reloaded over and over and he always left. So I beat the fuck out of him and left him in the swamp out of frustration. Some people just never join. Fuck you Clifford, you asshole.
>>526939293Catun looks great, it's the Bonefields that surround it that are the problem. Not a mark against the city itself, it's the only safe port out there.
As far as my favorite city, I like Flats Lagoon but you can't really live there. It's like a tourist town for hashish runners. I like Clownsteady, but it feels like a model village. Shit's way too close together. Black Desert City seems like it should be considerably bigger than it is. I like my setup in Mud Town but it is attacked by tiny red terrorists from time to time. So I'm going with Bark for that little cozy stiltshack on the coastline. Good place to get away from it all. Truly I like the tower in the Grey Desert Waystation, but that's not a city.
>>526949770>"mopsyisGONE">he isn't goneI live on a planet of liars...

Is it viable to play the whole thing as a nomad? Base building is fun and cool but it kinda turns Kenshi into a whole different game. Also I play this shit on a potato PC with a HDD so having split up parties adds a fuckton of loading times
>>526980750Yes. And yes, keeping everyone on one screen helps.
>>526980750Single loaded chunk nomad is the ideal way to play the game.
>>526975887Free range suffering.
>>526890810The Shek were mindless genetic experiments created over a thousand years ago to beat the shit out of humans to keep them in check. After Cat-lon fucked off with his boys, the Shek were aimless with no one giving them orders anymore and just resorted to their base instinct, which was to fight everything.
It took awhile for a few Shek to finally comprehend thoughts, however the majority were still retarded to follow along. The last Shek leader got close to making the Shek less retarded but he ended up dying too soon. Currently Esata's top guy might be a genius, but in usual Shek fashion they tried to kill him until Esata stepped in and btfo the retard that wanted him dead.
It should be noted that the Berserkers are pretty much the farthest away from civilization, so they maintained their retardation. The Shek kingdom just started interacting more with other cities so they're kind of less retarded, while the United Cities Shek are furthest away from Shek culture and are in top positions and thriving.
HIVERS ARE RIOTING INFRONT OF MY FARM, SOMEBODY CALL THE SAMURAIS!!
The answer as to what's up with the genetic anomalies & peculiarities found throughout the moon can be explained by:
>they haven't written an explanation yet
And so we have no actual evidence, not even a remnant lab with a hinting test tube, to imply it went on. In spite of this is seems silly to act like numerous species we encounter, including animal life, having uncanny human adjacent features.
>Scorchlanders
Are human presenting and yet have glowing fucking eyes, albino hair and inversely jet black skin. We have no indication why or when this transformation occurred and the chance for the HN or Machinists to give us a speck of insight was passed on.
>Shek
Were apparently a different looking member of the Second Empire. Supposedly more naturally human in appearance with the spikes emerging since the fall. The Skeleton comments about Shek physical change/adaption is one of the few indications outside of the Cannibal suite of lore books we hear about physiological changes happening to people.
>Cannibals
Have a ton of vagaries stated about them. They're also the closest we come to being told something may have been going on in the labs. It's possible what happened with the Cannibals is instructive for the broader nature of the situation. At some point the Skeletons had direct control over gene manipulation technology and used it to sustain/control the populace. A portion of the scientific clique broke off, ran away with the technology and started unleashing horrors onto the Second Empire, culminating in the Cannibals.
Things get really hard to speak on when looking at Hivers, Spiders, Gutters, etc. The mainline races (Cannibals included due to their humanoid appearance) conceivably all descend from Greenlanders. Of course they can pull any twist out of a hat when it comes to the distant past. Genetic engineering playing a role in Kenshi 2 could be on the table with the origin of Hivers in question for that time period.
>>526987157I am hopeful that Chris can somehow explain all the genetic horrors beyond human comprehension that we see in Kenshi 1. "Somewhat' because he doesn't even need to come up with ideas - he can just copy anything his "community" probably said on discord and reddit 6 gorrillion times by now.
>>526987689I'm not necessarily looking for "answers". Poor word choice to rather say that I want more of the stuff. Keep the freakshow coming.
Shooting the agony demons never gets old.
>>526993796This but hivers, skeletons and w*men
>>526999198These demonic w*men isekai'd themselves into Kenshi to steal the local men for themselves. The Viera warriors have put a temporary pause on their demonic plans. The men of Kenshi are now temporarily safe, as property of the Viera.
Now it is time to loot their large red shiny jiggly demonic asses, and sell their demonic gear to the nearest Tech Hunters' outpost.
>>526987157Maybe creatures on Kenshi just evolve faster. Scorchlanders developed dark skin to protect against the desert sun and they're more nimble to run from dangerous creatures. Animals like bonedogs has bone plating and Shek underwent a similar evolution.
Beak Things might be Cat-lon made. They're roam the strangest areas like the Grid and Gut, and with their huge numbers and hunger they probably shouldn't even exist.
>>526974249Agree. Primarily this retard with the blob creatures spewing his retardation constantly. Kills the whole vibe.
A big bar brawl in a small Viera fortress. The white eyebrow ninjas barged in and decided to become problems. They became victims of urban violence instead.

May just have to make an habit of luring hostile bunnies to guards, then heal and free the lone or or two captives since it usually ends in most guards downed
>>527010621Alas, a bunnyfucker decided to make the mod, not a lizardfucker.
That said, I do wish the mod included the silly lizards as well. And yes, it's too easy to recruit the Viera. Their stats are funny because the mod is a meme, and the Viera do not attack anyone first, but chilling near the Rebirth can result in witnessing a brutal rabbit-on-man violence quite soon.
>>527012272>a brutal rabbit-on-man violence quite soon.Oh no?
>>527013739Yeah, it happened when I did a short test run of the mod, ages ago. I spawned as a Viera, explored the Queendom for a bit, met with the recruitable giga-Viera uber-warrior (she can bench press Phoenix quite easily I'd imagine), and then I went down the mountain to check the Rebirth. Some passing-by Viera warriors came too close to Rebirth's gates. The paladins, binded by the stupidity of the "AI", attacked them. What happened next was rather anime in nature.

>>527030590>Diane, it is 3:36 pm, prayer day, and I'm currently passing through the Holy Nation. I spotted a scorchlander girl standing on the side of the road earlier. As you know I like my women how I like my coffee - black and piping hot - but the look in her eyes reminded me of a dream I had of a bugman. I decided not to approach her.

i know its an effect in only one area and it doesn't happen at night but i'm surprised not many armours have burning protection, even with a few mods, my options are pretty lackluster. and why does a dust coat and an armoured hud have burning protection?
>>527048967>mechanical limbs>default ninja backpacks>not toothpicks>all hairstyles are the sameWhy did you do that with those poor innoceny bunny women? This is the opposite of my way of playing with the Viera on Kenshi!
>>527030236>any new cool mods since 2018?Do check this post
>>525645393>>527030590>dead fish eyes to go along with her straight bangsYou achieved what you wanted. Now live with your creation.

>>525637354 (OP)is there a mod to make skeletons not hostile to holy nation?
I am tired of anne franking my best blacksmith
>>527056896They shouldn't give a shit if you're allied with them.
>>527057439that's even gayer
>>527056896>is there a mod to make skeletons not hostile to holy nation?That defeats the whole point of the holy nation.
>I am tired of anne franking my best blacksmithSmuggling illegal races is half the fun of a Holy Nation base.
>>527054997>Sheer mass requires mechanical support, no mere organics can adequately support this beautiful Viera formThey now correctly have different hairstyles and toothpicks. Other stuff is absolutely necessary for Kenshi immersion.
>>527062417I've been keeping an eye on your posting pattern. Whoever you are, you don't belong in this thread. You're clearly posting out of spite or some other weird hate-driven continued interaction. If your name was dropped here, which it might've been, I'd suggest you lighten the fuck up and go fist yourself for awhile. Stop pretending to have any interest beyond fucking with the other posters.
Someone out there downloaded the Viera mod just to turn the sexy long-legged big titty rabbit women into adeptus mechanicus' skitarii look-alikes. All because I have fun playing Kenshi my way. I have become Saitama. I have a hate-fan now. This is an odd turn of events.
A lot of shit has happened since Chang'e was a helpless spoiled brat looking to make a name for herself in the empire.
Now she is a filthy Rich spoiled brat owner of an "technically legal" hemp farm in the north of Gut...
But thanks to some business related reasons we are now retuning to the empire after a long trip to the swamps, Catun is as depressive and on the edge as always but Lady Chang found herself interested on the news of Mourn falling to a slave rebellion...
>>527066162Been a while since she showed up. Did she have to fight since then? What's her character sheet?
>>527066162The place was indeed in ruins... Tech hunters being the only people worth something in there.
That's a shame, Mourn is in a hell of a good location to keep the two halves of the empire closer to one another.
"Anyways... How can I make this about me?" That was the only thing bouncing on the walls of Lady Chang's empty little skull.
Maybe if she finds a way to reclaim Lord Longen would understand how capable she is! And even give her control of the city!
So after a few days of planning and waiting for the local wildlife to attack (never fucking happened btw) we defaulted to release some kind of monster the locals had trapped inside a tower.
>>527066662I've been taking screenshots but I lack the time to post them all, these are the most recent.
Since the last screenshot I posted here she almost dies a bunch of times and a lot of characters died after a stupid trip to the swamps.
Funnily enough Ells is now my strongest warrior and the character who has managed to survive the longest (other than Chang'e herself)
>What's her character sheet?What's that?
>>527067615"Tougeki (Headshot) dear, that idea of yours was truly wonderful! This the most entertained I've been since we left the brothels in Heft"
The best way to clean up the city without doing any of the fighting, none of the Tech hunters could stop the white behemoth from rampaging around, soon a bed of blood and torn off limbs covered the streets of Mourn
For the newly recruited Sadneil however this wasn't fun at all, just yet another thing that made him lose his hopes for humanity...
That feeling of hopelessness kept him from talking about the small thing he noticed: the Gorillo is not bleeding out, it's wounds are healing somehow
>>527067615>What's that?C button. Page that shows her stats.
A caravan of bug things wandering to the north of Flat Lagoon sells a prototype robotic limb for a super bug ninja. The quality of the robotic limb is queen approved.
>>527063068Oh yeah, this thread has never had even had a hint of hate driven hostility towards ppl lol examples being atlas and mop dude/dudette?. At least when I troll, itโs for laughs itโs not the same kind of hate-driven nonsense some of you guys throw around. Making fun of someone for playing a big booba Viera race mod isnโt a personal attack, I didnโt expect them to be so seriously hurt. you big loser rofl, you cant even stand anyone even slightly poking fun at you. Its actually great seeing how ridiculously sensitive bitches you (all) are. The main takeaway here seems to be that Iโm not welcome here if I so much as poke fun at you/mock you ever lmao. It's fine, I'll leave but i was actually going to start posting my cool new viera mod playthough.
>>527077224>themExcuse (You), my pronounces are chad\ubermench. Now continue yapping.
>>527077224Do you have any concept of what that guy has done? Doxxed one guy out of the community, stole tons of content from the Japanese community, went nuclear on anyone who refused to have their work shoved into his bloatmod and in spite of doing nothing with his mountain of assets sits around patrolling the community for bad think. Oh wait, that's probably (You). Fuck off forever, seriously.
>>527078632>anything i say is apparently "spite or some other weird hate-driven" stuff for some reason. > ""I don't know who you are. I've been keeping an eye on your posting pattern. If you make fun of me you dont belong in this thread. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career of sitting on my ass all day on 4chan. I can tell you dont have Kenshi interests. . .im also really lame and stuff" -Keng Liam NeesonMainly igaf i've never interacted with any of those ppl, also from reading this thread im confused if they are male or female or trans or gay. Also i made the Viera mod like x10 better in less than 10 minutes lol. You guys wont get to see it ever now

yes
>>527080079you're so lost in the sauce that you forgot how to have fun. post brapbunnies or else
>>527081713>brapbunniesI am once again reminded that Chris is a hack for not adding the ass slider to his magnum opus.
A robot is trying to sell robotic limbs to a Viera whose body is 100% intact. The robot needs to repair its eyes.

I have no idea how any of those weapons look like. Someone out there is very autistic about oriental swords. Good for him.
>>527096236I wonder how many decently made weapons and armors exist for Kenshi. After years of uploads it must be a few thousand by now.
>>525726936link to the bed mod?
>>527098065Should be on the Loverslab, on the Kenshi thread.
Gut... or as I like to call it, Shangri-La
>>526066669>>526066131I always destroy the HN. They're so fun to punch and descend into ruin. They're completely boring as an ally and I only enjoy them as antagonists.
>>526676248>>Can you exterminate a group or animal entirely from the map exYou can more or less depopulate an area just by continuing to kill them. Settle in Gut and slaughter Beak Things en masse and you'll notice a significantly lesser amount of them only for a shit ton to respawn when you reset the map.
>>526927992>Everything is "poltard" to those people who refuse to post their personal screenshots of them playing Kenshi>this schizo is still here
>>527095920For me, it's the Han Staff-blade from Ancient Chinese Weapons. Not really what I think of when I imagine Chinese weapons but it just tickles me so right
I fear the day I must sort my modlist
The Viera are planning their activities regarding the human men of Kenshi. On today's agenda - discussion of the potential sexual exploitation of the local Swamp men, and discussion of the minimal allowed hours of sleep, graciously given by the Viera to the human men. There was no conclusion on the exact minimal amount of allowed sleeping hours, only the unanimous dissapointment that the human men of Kenshi, despite being genetically modified freaks of nature, still want to sleep.
>>527108553Hopefully, that day will never come, so long as you keep stacking more mods like a jenga tower.
>t. Spent 5 hours fucking around with own modlist because modded armors were bugged as shit
>>5271085535 years ago I said to myself: "I should sort out all the saved fan-art in my Kenshi folder".
I did not, in fact, sort out the fan art ever since.
>>527108553It's not so bad, you can edit the mod.cfg file in a text editor instead of using the slow ass sorter Chris provides.
Town of "goat raiders". Giant goats walk in the center of the town. Despite being able to run 30 mph, their stats are below middle. A small dissapointment.
>>527077224>atlasAtlas the mech, not atlas whoever the fuck internet nobody.
>>527128587who knows, maybe *tlas weights like an Atlas.
>>527129541I don't give a fuck about your internet drama. Be quiet.
whatโs the deal with armor smithing and weapon smithing giving your donuts the proportions of one piece characters?
>trying to play as a Holy Nation supporter
>got a base in Okran's Pride (actually a very nice place for a base, if you can tolerate having no copper)
>Holy Nation armor shops don't sell blueprints for some reason
>cannot make Holy armor
>cannot make orange robes
>would probably need to travel to Black Scratch and talk to a s******n to get them
>cannot make chain mail without resorting to s******n books, the tech itself only requires engineering research but researching it needs a higher level workbench than I can make
>there is no Holy Nation appropriate leg armor
Why must Okran send me his toughest battles?
>>527143209Chris and Nat wanted (You) to not play such playthroughs. The bong siblings are very stupid.
>>527143209smartest Holy Nation drifter
>>526975887How do you get banned by him
>>527159568>*cat loudly screaming in the distance*I have my ways.
>>527163560No, really, what happened? He banned your steam account from playing the game?
My buddy was playing RS2 Vietnam and using TWI clan tags saying he worked for Tripwire and "i am gay" the actual devs of the game banned him, not steam, not the server, like they nullified his purchase of the game but he didn't get a refund and they blocked his account from buying it again LOL
>>527139713Always make Shryke your crafter so her fat ass gets fatter.
>>527143209>The game does not (unless modded) provide a blueprint, making crafting a Holy Chest Plate impossible. The Unholy Chest Plate with the same stats but a darker colour can be crafted however.Vanilla Kenshi moment
>>525731179Do you really think it's gonna come out?
>>527176717Here's my theory. The "publishing director" is a ringer brought in to fix a situation that went awry for five years straight. By the time LoFi finally achieved a solid grip on UE5 they were presented with the reality the game is not going to run well on UE5. The amount of optimization it will take to do it right meant rewriting nearly everything they had done up to that point. This is why Chris made mention of having nothing worth showing to the public because it's mostly primitives that work but only just. They will release something and that something is going to be a double hindsight.
>1. Unreal was in fact a mistake to move to.>2. In spite of that a product must come out, so it's all hands on deck because we've passed the point where the studio can rely on the first game's sales for revenue to remain open for years to come.If the game isn't out in 3 years I would expect an angel investor to get involved.
Sure is quiet in here right now.
>>527181860Damn Samurai brat! Needs Rebirth!!!
>>527176941Ah, my old screenshots...
Gotta take a nap, /keng/. Do not die while I am resting.
how the fuck do i fix this shit, what can be done about it? i can't remove the bridge as its all part of the same building. shift f11 didnt work either
>>527206013wew what a fucking trip, you can actually access all the storage from the comfort of an acid bath. though its still annoying that its bugged in the first place.
I rarely saw Beak Things in Shem in previous playthroughs. After turning up the squad spawn settings they're everywhere eating bandits, it's terrifying traveling through.
>>527056278>Neat gigabug. What's his story?he's a big cunt and he wanted to tag along, i was curious see if he made any observations regarding the places we passed as we travelled, but alas, he says little to nothing.
The barman in the town-fortress of the goat raiders. The man is wide, strong, and fabulous.
The Dust Bandits would take anyone into their ranks these days.
>>527240027You should try that Racial Diversity mod if you want a laugh.
>>527244758Oddly enough, some mods in my game added that Divercity (tm) already, to some factions - mostly bandits. No idea which mods did it - I never looked for such mods on a purpse
>Looking for a place to discuss Kenshi or Kenshi modding? Feel free to join the Kenshi Community Discord We're always welcome to new faces. :)I won't touch this mod out of my principles.
>new mod swaps beep and catlon
any anons tried it yet?
>>527249204I don't even play the game bro
But sounds interesting, you should give it a shot
>>527249204Has a surprising amount of effort. Worth a try for a meme playthrough.
>>527257695Fuck me
I don't want to reinstall
>>527257695That is a lot of damage. At this point the game isn't fun anymore.
>>527257904Do it. And post screenshots.
It's weird seeing decent kenshi fanart
>>527261345Uncommon but not weird
>>527258298thats a cute hiver
>>525637354 (OP)Is there a mod that adds sex and pregnancy and children
>>527271957>sexKind of.
>pregnancyThe stomach slider.
>childrenThe height slider.
Almost time for a new thread.
