>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 Link
https://lofigames.com/
>Tips for beginners
Learn 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.

On a supply run the scorchfus witness a group of hungry bandits attacking a hive village. It did not go well for the bandits but it sure it was funny to the scorchfus

>>528931714
Hunting for meat and skins to learn armor crafting, the scorchfus are now fist fighting beakthings and other wild life

>>528929951 (OP)

>>528932004
needing a place to rest and heal up the scorchfus decide to bully the local squatter population

>>528933837
Their behavior will get them CORRECTED one day...

>>528933837
While bulling more squatters a beakthink wanders close and gets pummeled in to submission

>>528825158
Sometimes I think Beep is overrated, then on a new playthrough when I go to recruit him and the player asks him what he has to offer, Beep just answers "I have nothing". I don't know what it is about that line but it makes me like Beep all over again. Beep is a lot like you in the beginning, a weak nobody trying to make it. It's captivating to me.
I still wish Chris paid more attention to the other unique characters, some have no unique dialogue at all. At least there's the Moar Unique Dialogues mod.

>>528935703

It's kinda weird how he's almost portrayed as a child, like he's a small little brother who you can relate to because you also started at the bottom of the food chain, wanting to grow stronger, either for survival or to make a name for yourself, so ou're to teach him and make sure he grows into a strong independent bug. It's helped by the fact that by the point you meet him, you've almost certainly formed a strong enough party to reach Mongrel without getting cannibalised.
>I still wish Chris paid more attention to the other unique characters, some have no unique dialogue at all.
That's what bothers me the most. You've got 44 characters, a lot of them with quirks, charismatic introductions or an interesting backstory, and yet most of them never really expand on their origins or talk outside of a few lines when they get back up, heal someone, get healed and one or two interactions with the environment and other recruits. I wanted to see more from Espher, Red, Luquin, Chad, Griffin, Kang and others, but was left with a bunch of disposable thugs I wouldn't really feel attached to if they get killed.

>>528940181

Scorchfus training by beating fug men

Can I keep multiple bases at once without the bong's spaghetti code crashing every time I switch between them?
I don't want to destroy my current base just to become the Walter White of the Swamps.

>>528965078
If you've got a semi-decent rig toggle on fast zone switching or whatever it's called in the settings. It'll keep the zones your characters are in cached which should reduce the strain of switching between them at the cost of increased overall strain.

>>528965078
What you want to avoid is having too many chunks loaded at any given time. If you're going to have two bases in separate chunks you'll want to be mindful about how many other places you're loading up with the away teams. It won't hard crash on two bases but there have been cases of going seriously overboard and finding that limit.

>>528965078
People have tried building walls through Kenshi's map with mixed results. I think it can handle a couple of bases before things start going bad. I have had two bases at once and things went fine.

>>528965939
I already had like 2 or 3 crashes hanging around my base, so increasing the overall strain just to jump from one chunk to another quicker doesn't seem convenient. I might have to get more RAM or straight up change my CPU.

>>528970360
The idea would be to have 3 teams in separate chunks. One for scouts, the main squad exploring the map, one for guarding the main base in The Border Zone, and one for cooking hashish in The Swamps. I might add a fourth if I feel like settling somewhere else or moving the main base to another. part of the map, but currently, I don't know how my rig will handle 3 chunks at a time.

>>528980730
>People have tried building walls through Kenshi's map with mixed results
Saw a video like that yesterday. Fun shit.
It made me consider building a wall around each of the UC's cities to see how they'd handle being put in a Bolivia 2025 situation.

>>528982141
>I already had like 2 or 3 crashes hanging around my base
That doesn't seem good. What specs are you running?

>>528984102
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770K CPU @ 3.50GHz 3.50 GHz

RAM:12 GB

GPU: Radeon RX 560 Series (2 GB)

Motherboard: P8B75-M

>>528986746
A little dated but that seems more than adequate. Do you have a really cursed mod list or something? I've never had any consistent crashing issues apart from when I was fucking with the FCS and not importing, so it's possible I might be the odd one out, but I see no reason you should be crashing so often.

>>528987808
I think I have about 40-50 mods installed, but nothing too extreme. Just a few extra items added, Reactive World, The Arachnids and then a lot of quality of life and performance improving (i.e., compressed textures) mods.
Still, we're talking about 3, maybe 4 times my game crashed while hanging about the same chunk of the map, and it never happened before I started building there. Maybe the issue is with the base.

>>528965078
I boot Kenshi. I wait till Kenshi loads. When I see the game map - I hit pause. I wait till Kenshi loads. I unpause for 3 seconds. I pause again, because the green loading bar has shown up again. I wait, then unpause. Then I pause again because the final green loading bar shows up. I wait, then I unpause. I can play Kenshi now.

Every time I need to hop between areas - I pause. I scroll very closely to a donut. Then I jump to the other location. I do not unpause yet - the green loading bar is there. I wait till it's gone. I unpause, and pause again - because the game remembered that something else must be loaded. I wait. I unpause. I continue playing Kenshi.

Exhaling slowly, Cutter let his lungs stay empty for a few moments before filling them with the cool night air once more. His quarry remained unaware of any danger, the trio bickering about something obscured by the gentle wind. Stalking forward, Cutter kept low to the ground as he closed the distance. He scarcely noticed the placement of his feet now; he could avoid loose rocks and twigs ready to snap without conscious effort. Once near enough to make out their softly spoken argument—some drivel about latrine digging—he drew his nodachi from its oiled scabbard. As he did, it was as if he were overcome with an otherworldly force; his feet felt weightless, as if he were walking across clouds. His breath seemed to rejuvenate him, filling him with vigor for the task to come. Rising from his crouched stance, he stood mere paces behind now.

Lunging forward swift as a snake, Cutter brought his pommel down onto the rightmost bandit's helm with an echoing clang. Pivoting to his left, Cutter drove his nodachi into the neck and shoulder of the bewildered Greenlander before he'd even reached for his rusted excuse for a sword. Facing the last of his prey, Cutter stood ready and waited as the trembling Scorchlander raised his weapon to fight. The two stared at each other for what seemed like ages, time too distant to be truly considered or appreciated. Cutter remained cool and collected, hearing footsteps—as if approaching a stage—in the gentle pattering of blood dripping from his sword. His victim's ragged, rapid breaths betrayed him. Eventually, the dust bandit could bear the anticipation no longer, and with a scream of rage lunged at the masked assassin, sword thrusting blindly. For Cutter, the scream was bliss. It marked the start of the symphony, the sweet sound singing through his blade and into his soul itself.

Jumping out of range, the hunter kicked the sleeping stickman towards the Scorchlander. Clumsily tripping over his friend, the brigand tried to right himself to parry a slash he knew would come. He saw it was already too late; the sword was mere inches from him, and a flash of searing heat scorched his left elbow before being replaced by the tingling of numbness. Shocked and stunned, he could do nothing but look on in horror as his silent assailant drew the tip of his sword back in a circle, drawing another line of terrible pain across his heavy front leg. Collapsing to his knees, the Scorchlander tossed his sword away and raised his remaining arm defensively to yield. No deathblow came. When he dared to look up, the beast still stood in front of him, sword poised over his shoulder in a ready stance. "Fight. Live, truly live for once in your pathetic life, so that you may die justly."

Such scenes marked most nights for the past month. Cutter was well along the path of perfecting the hunting of vagrants and marauders roaming the land. He himself was considered such a plague upon civilization at times, and was driven from the Shek Kingdom into the Holy Nation. But Cutter wasn't discriminating in his hunting; any crimes were secondary to his true intentions. When forced to town for a bed in bad weather or to purchase new supplies, he'd bring bounties in to pay for them. The cats began to stack up, the local enforcers covering his costs with a mere fraction of their rewards.

BDC citizens don't appreciate dreadnaughts, don't know what I was expecting.

Cutter knew he was improving too. He was seldom spotted before his ambush had begun now, and he couldn't remember the last time he'd taken more than a superficial scratch. Some drunk Okranite suggested he find a man called Stan the Stalker, who apparently shared similar hobbies—hunting stray Shek and making a name for himself doing it. He'd pissed himself when Cutter appeared to challenge him. Disgusted, Cutter dumped the corpse off at Squin, where it was his turn to be stunned. Called 'kin' by none other than a Hundred Guardian. It seemed the Shek were appreciative of not only his work, but his talent as well. After bringing in a rogue Berserker to Admag, it seemed the news just kept spreading. Cutter was now a welcome friend of the Shek Kingdom.

Uneasy with their embrace, Cutter traveled to the Eastern United Cities. He spent his glut of cats on the various privileges one could, but quickly became bored of hunting simple highwaymen again. Aimless, he mused about the half-sunken lab in the swamp. It proved little challenge for him to draw most of the spiders out, close the gate on them, and dispatch the remnants—he was so nimble and agile that the spiders could never've caught him, even with the boggy footing and treacherous roots everywhere. The arcane treasures within were sold off to Tech Scribes or kept stashed at the bottom of his bag, mostly meaningless to Cutter. He knew they contained worthy secrets, though, and needed to consider how he could extract them.

Resting at the Shinobi tower in Admag, Cutter was able to identify some of the documents himself. Many were maps of a region called the Ashlands. He'd heard of it, but only in legend. No doubt the buildings described held even greater prizes. Many of the rest, however, seemed to be instructions on the workings of machinery. They were well beyond Cutter's ken, but he hadn't yet decided to sell them. All the cats in the world couldn't buy him a better sword, for he'd no idea if a purveyor of such fine weaponry even existed. But he knew smiths would love to try. Those he knew, in the Shek and Okranite lands, would surely fail. And those contacts he'd recently bought in the United Cities would cheat and swindle him in every way possible before delivering on their empty promises. Exasperated, he shuffled the papers together again and stashed his bag. The trip to the United Cities and swamp left him weary, and he sought the comfort of another. A belly full of grog and a cute genin cuddled against him, Cutter drifted off to sleep.

a valid way to play the game? How can it be improved for Kenshi 2?
I like stealth and assassins in concept, but the way it works in practice in Kenshi is a bit silly since you literally just Naruto run past guards who don't see you and make a conga line of bodies stripping of their weapons and armor.

>How can it be improved for Kenshi 2?
I will snap your femur if you keep rambling about shit that doesn't exist. Fix it in the game you have. Learn to code or beg an AI to help you figure it out.Stop letting incompetent game developers determine how you engage with games.

It's not easy keeping Catlanders under control. Turn your back and she's angling for the next dozen one night stands. Bitches be completely out of pocket when the chains come off and the word no doesn't get used enough in their presence.

>>529026375
praised be the Traders' Guild and their smart solution of the female Scorchlander problem!

>>529009852
Guards just need a higher assassination level. You should be able to thunk bandits and hobos with certainty, but a guard in a big town should always have a chance of failure unless you're over 90.

Weird monsters were slain in the Fog. Even weirder loot was found on those monsters. The Viera are confused.

>>529030525
That'd help, but I'd prefer a full rework of perception honestly. It feels really gamey that although enemies have the same stats as players, they don't use stealth or assassination offensively at all. If perception was used in assassination and stealth defense rather than just for ranged attacks, it'd be cool. Stealth is still going to be much less effective against a player because they'll notice if one of their guys just slumps without ignoring it, so I doubt it'd feel too bullshit, but it's a cool dynamic to be afraid of some nigger following you and jumping when you're weak.
Also, it'd be ideal to have perception affect the visibility range of NPCs on the map IMO, since then scouting would have an actual purpose instead of just panning your camera over. Even better would be things like it affecting identification of who you see too (based on range and perception plus weather/terrain, so kicking up dustclouds makes you easier to see, rain hides you, etc.). So as you approach you get first the NPC appearing just as 'humanoid', then as you get closer it becomes 'greenlander' 'holy nation greenlander' 'paladin greenlander' 'paladin john' since your character can see more details. Bounties could play into this too.

The swamp is survivable early with high enough run speed. Train up some athletics(sandals help if you can find them) to around 18mph run speed and you'll be fine.

450 fucking hours in this game and it only just today occurs to me to try and assign splinting as a dedicated task. And it works.
How my squads haven't been wiped out to a man under my leadership is a great mystery.

>>529037364
Then again most zones are survivable with high enough athletics. Assuming you don't run into beak things.

Are the steam workshop mods worth 15 dollars? Considering switching off a pirated copy to try some of them out.

>>529040556
It is a matter of convenience. You pay Lord Gaben some dollars, and you get an access to all mods on Gabenshop instantly. No need to search for mods. No need to check if the mods are up to date. No need to go to the N*xus mod. But those are your 15 dollars. Think.

>>529040556
You can download them as a pirate with steamcmd but it's less convenient

Currently starting to work on a dozen or so unique characters to use in my next playthrough with specific dialogue packages for each, maybe see if there's a decent way to do questlines for them. How much dialogue do you guys think is a good amount? Measured in percentages of Beep's dialogue I guess.

Staying in love with thief girl.

>>529076883
12 guys with Beep dialogue might be a lot, but I think it's important to have good attention to detail. Try to have a good amount of dialogue for entering different biomes and have the characters banter with each other too. Establishing relationships between them will do a lot for their character's.

Heng provides access to the rum market and takes in the illicit goods for dispersion. The smugglers in turn can move sake, hashish and of course bloodrum throughout the empire. The friendly relationship with the Swampers permits Guild caravans access to the central corridor which is fraught with enough dangers as is. Goods move somewhat more freely and with added incentive across the imperial gap thanks to the overt encouragement of this dangerous traversal. It's not merely lucrative... it's necessary. The connection between the desert wing and marshland frontier of the empire is blatantly tenuous at best. The best the empire can hope for is the swift destruction of their rivals, ideally both the Kingdom and Nation at once (as Yamdu outlines), making way for imperial reunification.

Enough to make them feel alive, not enough to be "QUIRKY XD", in the Tumblr's sense of this word. A donut can comment on seeing a lost drone, because that is a reasonable thing to react. But yelling "BEEP IS THE STRONGEST WARRIOR, THERE WILL BE CHANGES" is reddit tier cringe that must be deleted from the Vanilla game. If the characters in game could have used alcohol and drugs - sure, they would yell that. But since nobody on Kenshi drinks or smokes anything from the Player's perspective...

I really enjoy bounty hunting. It adds purpose to training past 'just fight for the sake of getting stronger lmao.' Plus, with my set of mods, weapons and armor sell for a fraction of their value so looting isn't very profitable unless the enemies have green or better gear, which is of course rare. I kind of wish there was more 'junk' items in Kenshi though. As in people would have like a piece of food on them and maybe non-military patrols would have a chance to have random trade goods or loot too, things that made it seem like they were doing more than wandering around waiting to be killed.

>>529089419
Thanks. And that's only the screenshots I bothered to put in too; many more were so far from the narrative I excluded them completely.

I recommend the mod on "realistic martial art bandages", it makes those bandages stronger stats-wise, and it makes ninja enemies more dangerous.

We're very fortunate it takes so long for a skeleton to die. 1st party wipe.

Why are Armored Rags so fucking cool?

How do you judge the danger of an animal? Their skills seem to have little influence so I can not tell who is scary. Like a dog is terrifying because it attacks so fucking fast but it doesn't even have big stats.

>>529116378
It's about the attack animations. If they attack fast enough - they are dangerous. Beak Things are harmless puppies because they can be kited. Goats can take your arm off and crave more.

If I wanted to do a hiver RTS style playthrough what would a fair way be to make new hivers? I was thinking about doing something like starting with ten, one of which is a queen. Then the queen gets to make a new one every five days or something, and I choose the type. IDK if there's a mod already for this but figure I can make a hacky version if I need.

>just buy the unreal slop, consume product and get hyped for the next product
On a serious note my contention has been Kenshi 2 is an entirely separate entity to Kenshi 1 and it's being made purposefully so. All the more reason to set aside some resources to properly maintain the first game for years to come. The business decision to produce a new game is a natural next step for a studio. It just feels like a non-answer to "what about Kenshi 1"? It's done, so they say, but what's to stop the same scenario of hopes & promises becoming luxury features from happening again? It would be nice to see the modkit ready before release. If that doesn't exist come run up to release I'm going to have to press the emergency alert button for real.

>>529134625
>to properly maintain the first game for years to come.
Entailing what? It's a finished game without online aspects. It's maintained by simply allowing users to download it.
>but what's to stop the same scenario of hopes & promises becoming luxury features
Nothing; welcome to reality.

>>529135589
Continue to extend the modkit tooling (for the first game) by removing obfuscation and revealing the headers.
>Nothing, welcome to reality.
People make games. I know your type.

>>529135767
The modkit is a bonus, and there's really no incentive for them to extend it since it's highly unlikely to cause significant additional income (or even enough to cover the costs of doing it) and will certainly drain resources from Kenshi 2. No idea what you mean by the second part. If there was something to stop such activity Star Citizen wouldn't exist.

>>529136134
Right, speaking wholly for the business. The game's architecture continues to age - it's not being maintained in any meaningful way other than surface level mod touch ups. Deeper access to the game itself, which is in post-maintenance mode, would open up the possibility of remastering style updates to the game in light of potential SDK improvements as the years pass.

You're speaking wholly in a business-legal sense. And I'm speaking as a consumer. It's your choice to approach this (and me) with casual disregard and isn't winning you the highground you think it is. A lot of extra words from you to replace the initial
>just buy the unreal slop, consume product and get hyped for the next product

>>529137752
Ah, now you're just being foolish concocting false characteristics to fit your narrative. The subject matter is tangentially related to the broader right to repair discussion going on. Video games have long operated in a kind of priesthood fashion - first due to it being constrained to passionate nerds push the hobby and programming have a high barrier to entry. Now though it's decades of precedents and the understanding you're communicating as common sense. No, car manufacturers being able to turn off my car remotely and John Deere requiring an authorized technician to update my tractor's software is not coolio, broski. I have these opinions specifically because I've been working with embedded electronics for over a decade ya silly dingus. Let me guess then, you've been "working" with video games for years and have the champagne attitude of being entitled to every single line of code you so gracefully give to the public for enjoyment. Sod off you smelly egomaniac.

nta but a bad fanbase can and should sour people from things
it doesn't inherently mean the underlying thing is bad, but is highly indicative of it
basic pattern recognition; if /group you hate/ loves /media/, then you probably hate /media/ too
it's not 100% accurate, but time is a resource and assuming it's bad is normal and good
is undertale a good game? it might be, but I'll never find out
because I know with certainty that if everyone who was a fan of the game dropped dead the world would be a better place

Can you though?
What's the fogmen's athletics attribute? I doubt you can just outrun them during the early game

>>529154295
They have like 15-20.
Honestly if you don't have a ton of encumbrance a player character can outrun almost everything in the game inside of a few hours of gameplay at most.

>>529094478
Why no trade through the Holy Nation?

>>528948157
Oh? You wanted characters? NPCs with more dialogue than a few barks? A story perhaps? Or some quests?
Well too bad! Perhaps you would be more comfortable playing some other game, like Dragon Age or Avowed.

>>529154093
>nta but a bad fanbase can and should sour people from things
No, that's fucking stupid. A "bad fanbase" is usually just indicative that a fanbase is large so you see more bad people in it because of the greater volume. In this case specifically, it's ultra retarded because that anon is letting Reddit dictate what he can and can't like, as if Beep isn't decently popular here and other places. I don't even like Beep but that mindset is cattle tier. Might as well not play this game anymore because Reddit likes it, too.

It's like the worst fans from Homestuck decided to condence into one fandom. And I remember Homestuck - plenty of ego assholes were there, but some nice people were present as well. I still have some music from the Homestuck days on my PC. I don't listen to it lately, but I have found memoriues nonetheless. The Understale meanwhile somehow attracted exclusively /d/egenerates and the Current Thing chasers. Not much fan art was made about it. But lots of furry porn. So much furry porn...

Drifter. No need to lie like this. If I was 15 years old - mentally or physically - I would love Beep too. Instead I find him annoying at best. And I - like many others - wish the OTHER unique NPCs got as much love as Beep did.

To be honest, if you open up the FCS it's pretty obvious why there's no dialogue. I don't know what that muslim retard was thinking with his implementation.

>>529156531

>>529166440
>>No, I insist! You must not drink water because heckin' Hitler also drank water!
you're the one making this argument.

Some guy said "I don't like Beep because annoying people like Beep too, and I noticed that I should avoid what those annoying people like"
You said to him "well how about you don't heckin' play Kenshi because le Reddit plays it too?!"

(You) used that argument, lassie. You, not me. Now post an another screenshot, I want to see your donuts donuting all over the island.

>>529167108
>(You) used that argument, lassie
No, that's just the conclusion of his own (and your) logic. If Reddit liking something means he has to dislike it, he has to dislike Kenshi because Reddit likes it or admit it's a dumb standard. Replace "Hitler" with "Reddit" and that's the argument you're making.

On all levels except physical (You) are a woman, drifter. Now post one more screenshot for the audience. And what are your characters' stats?

They are human-drow hybrids that engage in shenanigans and harmless fun like making Okran-loving men mad with their cheeky acts. Male scorchies are the corpo types, hopeless romantics, or chuuni adventurers though. They are cool.

Hey, /keng/. I have known about Kenshi for a long time but never got around to trying it. Would describing the game as a post-apocalyptic Mount and Blade be appropriate? Could you please tell me what you like about it and what the gameplay loop is about?

I don't know, it's addictive. Fight, get beat up, get stronger, fight, beat someone, steal their shit, get money by selling whatever you find to merchants and just keep that up, then it's a matter of however you want to play it, either solo, with a small party or putting together a settlement somewhere. You should try to go in blind for a few hours and come back if you feel stuck.

>>529176551

I had no idea. I thought it was just a sandbox with a unique aesthetic, could you give me a lowdown of the lore please?

>>529177137
Would you really want me to spoil that?

>>529177137
It's best if you learn about it by exploring the game and talking to NPCs. If you don't care about spoiling it, there's a few YouTubers that made videos analyzing the world's history up until the present and every faction's background.

>>529176062
I wold not describe it as post apocalyptic mount and blade, post apocalyptic sims might be more appropriate. The actual game play loop is doing repetitive tasks to power level stats and any thing beyond that is just RP autism, fun RP autism yes but RP autism none the less the game has no quest, goals, or win conditions for a player to work towards its also virtually unplayable without mods.

>>529189913
Could be many things, but I haven't been attacked out of the blue by them specifically. A bounty or escaped slave you're not aware of, wearing a piece of their faction armour, clicking into a locked building, aggro'd onto one of their allies and they prioritise defending them over you, sneaking with certain mods installed, etc.

>>529189913
>>529191332
Are you wearing faction uniform? Like you stole some Samurai's armor? Factions will get hostile if you're wearing their shit because they'll assume you killed the guy for it.

What theme do you think the main human faction in Kenshi 2 will have? Chinese would be kino. Roman would be basic, but good enough. Japanese would be okay.

A small cult that's to eventually turn into the Holy Nation? Maybe 1000 AC Christians

I'm more of the belief that they'll be post-apocalyptic wanderers, maybe looking like MadMax. The lore doesn't make them look like they had much of an organisation during the dark age

Without going into too much detail the maker juggles a lot of responsibilities in and outside of Kenshi (is a Steam forum moderator). Nice guy, frequently responds to questions if you ping him.

I like walking around towns at ground level. Feels comfy.

>>529208614
It's always the people with the least amount of time who make the best content.
>Yes, Deadcat revival is on the table.
Do you know what else is planned for future updates?

>>529218360
I'll clarify by restating Reactive World itself is likely to remain in stasis.My mod was/is intended to maintain what Reactive World does an extend upon it. The HN breakdown, divided & competing Cannibal tribes, the Shek Kingdom additional polish - that all stays with some furtherance.

It follows through on events like the Deadcat revival and subsequent events (crises) such as the emergence of sleeping sickness amongst the northern populace after the revival - the mechanics of which work under the hood but aren't used in vanilla.. But if you're specifically interested in RW there's some extra life to be found through mods like Cannibals Expanded which plays well with it.

>>529185876
Dialogue is just a massive pain in the ass to implement compared to most editors I've seen. It's designed for making repeated generic comments across classes of NPCs, not unique back and forth conversations.

Weird alien artifacts on Kenshi. They cost too much money for some reason.

>>529227562
what mods?

>>529231015
The cake is from "Grineer Mod - A Warframe Faction Mod". It adds a lot of things. The modder is a cool guy, but he insists that everything must be all-in-one package (suppose it's easier for him to edit and fine-tune his mod this way). I don't mind because I have 1000+ hours in Kenshi, so I crave anything new and fun and even ridiculous at times, but the new players with below 100 hours would probably find it too weird and out of place.

And the tall rabbit women are from "Final Fantasy XIV mod - Viera". 10\10, do recommend, the isekai'd human-fucking bunny women make Kenshi great.

>>529231015
also I suggest "Kenshi Radio Mod" and "Kenshi Radio Mod: Grineer Expansion Patch", if you are interested.

>>529231753
Cheers. I was 100% insterested in the cake and not the bunny girls.....

I assume the UI is dark UI? I only just started, trying to keep it raw dawg as possible, but UI and a few things over time might be ok.

Any good prisoner bmods avalaible? Game is so unfinsihed in certain areas.

>>529231894
I just looked at the radio mod and I must still be too sick cause I can't tell what the fuck it does...

>>529232312
>I assume the UI is dark UI?
Yes. Vanilla UI is annoying to my eyes.

There are some on the Gabenshop, but I use none since I kind of avoid the prisoning thing.

>>529232498

it adds Skeletons (and holy criers) in major cities and TH waystations. They yell about the World's Checks' statuses. Is Esata dead? A radio-skeleton will say a few lines about it. Etc etc.

>>529232705

>>529232705
oh ok, I thouight it reported on shit you did and made it more difficult for you to make more factions or people chase after you.

>>529233054
Nah, Kenshi isn't that well coded. Kenshi (vanilla) also radios the factions' standing right at (You). If you kill a bunch of shmucks and NOBODY lives to tell the tale about it - your rep level still goes down with that faction. Doesn't make sense at all, but it just happens.

Does the loot in ruins respawn?

Was fending off an attack of Beak things, when an Elder showed up and it turned into a kaiju battle.

Jesus these things hurt. That horseshit hitbox doesn't help either. I've learned to have my flankers stay perpendicular to their back legs to avoid the phantom hit directly behind.

>Can I get a QRD on the state of Kenshi 2 please?
Announced in Summer 2019, there have been infrequent peeks at the game's systems in development over the years. You can skim through 2019 to 2024 here:
https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/233860

The first meaningful update in quite some time came in the form of the most recent update with this video as its feature:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymYcXCl43-s

Chris provides the most useful information and I'll try to add some context thereafter. The gist is Unreal 5 is hard. They've been working on some cool stuff but what they've got around the time of the video is the baseline they're feeling confident to move forward with. It has taken some time to get it all working and they're not ready to show what they have but it's "feeling" good enough to make a public announcement.

I don't know how relevant the old posts and systems found within are since they technically began on UE4 for this project. Presumably Kenshi 2 will still try to embrace some these new ideas they've already shown:
>grid-based, snappy furniture placement for interiors
>town districts for more intricate town setup & segmentation
>a totally reworked models & buildings systems
>much bigger map, 150% is the often touted number
>there are a growing list of hints that boats have become possible. my hunch is and based off external speculation the map was reworked in the last year, allowing the boat system to start functioning, open the proverbial floodgates to this video's creation

That said, if you read the news carefully you'll find missed promises like that of a proposed vertical slice reveal which hasn't occurred. Without beating the horse to death I again think Chris says it all with the placeholder state the second game supposedly is in right now. They might've been stuck on getting it all to work together, which it may be doing so now, which means release is...unannounced with no ETA.

>>529263817
Chris is hard at work and will give us an estimated release date soon*. The team learned a lot making Kenshi 1, so they know** what they're doing, and the development is progressing*** smoothly****.

>>529263817
Let's just say - the hopes for Kenshi 2 are very small, to say it politely.

>>529265480
>there are a growing list of hints that boats have become possible
In the era that the skeletons keep repeating was when the sea level was at its highest and pirates were one of the main threats they had to deal with. I'd be damned if there wasn't even an attempt at making boats

>>529268713
Boats have been a goal since Kenshi 1. You can find artifacts of the system that never was in the FCS. The theme of the second game is contingent on that system working which appears to be the why behind the wait. Kenshi 1, the vision, minus boats. Kenshi 2, the vision, plus boats. (Dun mean it'll be any good lol).

How do I make money in UWE? seems like looting armor isn't a very good starting method.

>It is impossible to surrender in Kenshi
>It is impossible to raise your hands and leave an area peacefull after hearing such request or demand
>If an NPC got aggro'd - that NPC won't stop being aggro even if the donut leaves the restricted area and doesn't come back.

The famine started because Tinfist and his crew (lackeys of Iyo) sabotaged the Grid complex which was the main breadbasket of Second. Cat-Lon's regime has no reasonable response to this event, marking the beginning of the end for the Second.
>I had to thrall them all! Traitors siding with the humans! Treason!
And indeed, thralling was so complete there was no hope of return. The revolt which caused the downfall of the Second is he same clique of bozos we find throughout the newworld masquerading as agents of change or operating in positions of authority. Iyo and Tinfist are the same. They're terrorist scum who destroyed the Second Empire and ushered in the second age of chaos.

I know, but it was a unique run for how it started, hilarious as fuck, but tragic enough that I could acrually make a story out of it.

Well I want to start another Kenshi playthrough and this time actually finish it.

What mods woulc you recommend for a vanilla-like experience?
I usually just install reactive world any call it a day.

Also some graphics mods would be nice.
Nothing fance, just to make the game less barren, blurry and more pleasant to look at.

Reactive world or living world?

>>529299917
>What mods would you recommend for a vanilla-like experience?
>>529182253 all the ones under "Vanilla+"
>Also some graphics mods would be nice.
"Kenshi 2 Style ReShade" and "TSUKI"

>>529301720
Living World has more options, but Reactive World is more creative with what few additions it has, like rebuilding The Hub, the Dust Bandits dividing after killing the Dust King and cannibals having their own tribal civil war (which you can pair with expansion mods for the cannibals).
I'd say pick RW if you intend on a short playthrough, and LW if you wanna experiment more with world states.

>>529303005
Or you can use both, just remember:
>Reactive World works with Living World but there will be minor problems in the northern part of the map with Cannibals, Deadcat, Holy Nation and Rebel Famers. Swap the mod loading order if Deadcat doesn't take over settlements from the cannibals if using Reactive World. Reactive World also changes cannibal shacks to stone mines which makes Deadcat Capital and villages look empty.

>>529301957
Thanks. Maybe I'll drop reactive/living world for Kaizo and get some misc mods.

>>529303005
Thanks!

>>529303851
Reactive and Kaizo tend to play nice with each other, with some small exceptions in a couple competing world states. If you load Kaizo at the bottom you should be fine, but if you're hitting a bunch of town overrides in the north, you might run into some jank with factions getting a little mismatched.

>>529281341
>"I am the ubermensh"

>>529281341
Take a good look at that face. Imagine, if you dare, being a Shek male. Your women are both the instigators and recipients of the most sexual attention and activity on the island. These bitches are fucking 24/7, whoever they want, whenever they want. Except for you. Your job is to die with honor... whatever that means. Because trust me buddy, you ain't Kral, better get out there and prove yourself. Don't worry bud. While you're busy having a skin spider create new holes in your body (how glorious) the females are also bravely holding down the fort. I mean seriously, she is completely pinned to the bed, taking those hate-filled thrusts from the High Paladin of the night like a true warrior would. Hang in there honey... he's almost finished.

Weird game

I like shek men and women.

I think I broke Kenshi

Grineer Anon here
I've decided to add this here thing to my mod
A heavier more blast-suity version of the original blast suit
Like, what are you gonna do with that defensibility?
Why?
I dunno, it's a thing I did on a whim

Am I missing something?

>>529313686
Looks ridiculous. Thus it fits Kenshi.

Also - trying to speak with two bums sitting in a bar in a small "Gathering settlement' in Dreg crashes the game. And Toksik base is sick (neat!). And who is Hiroto? What is his lore? His stats are end game, and he asks only 24 000 for service - that's cheap.

>>529307259
>all this cvck text
Not as horrible as the "passion" I saw in a post back in 2020. Still, no bueno. Shek females are hot because they are doing the snu snu, not because they are "uguuu kawaii submissive and breedable" women with bony handlebars growing on their bodies.

Does anyone know how I can get rid of these? It won't let me dismantle them after building, and I couldn't do anything with Shift+F12 besides moving them a little so that they wouldn't get in the way (they still do, they are just invisible where I placed them originally)
There's a third one floating several meters above them

>>529317892

>>529316268
It's just a sad Ells face joke. The bitches are thick as a brick and fuck like a truck. Who said anything about submissive and breedable? The sluts have vacuum cunts that drive all the boys crazy. There's no confusion about what a 6'8 mountain of pure female disdain is going to be like in-person. You'll sooner have a broken jaw (and pelvis) than a slave wife. Plenty of crazy homely Greenlander whores to bed for that. Like whatever you want ya fuggin prude.

>>529319685
Nothing happened

I want to dive into Kenshi mods. I looked into the top steam mod collections and two stood out to me:
MEGA Kaizo/UWE+ Modpack (2025) and Lore Friendly Role-Playing Experience v1.9.7.2.1 (2025).
Any recommendation on which one I should take?

>>529320123
Your "joke" made me feel bad for Ells. Think about your behavior, mister.

>>529301720
I lean more towards Living World. Reactive World adds more politics and stuff but in its current incomplete state it just feels like more of what vanilla Kenshi already is. Vanilla Kenshi is already biased towards the Shek and Reactive World mostly expands the Shek takeover, nothing much else for the other major factions.

>>529320342
In F12 with it properly selected? That's quite odd. You can try removing the Tiny Settlement town marker by finding it in the Town Placement tab in F12, top left, see if that works. If not, you're probably toast and will need to reload if you can.

>>529320673
UWE is a bit of a mess, in my opinion. For every good decision there are five bad and most of the additions are pointless bloat. It's in both of those, so if you've got your heart absolutely set on one of them then I'd choose the Lore Friendly one since it seems to have less intrusive additions on top of that.

>>529320123

>>529323738

If those packs caught your eye then I'd say just rip it. See what parts of it you like, modify the list down to suit your tastes, search out newer mods to fill the missing gaps. Form your own opinion. Otherwise it's hard to tell you how to play the game without any real information. Are you looking for total conversions? Vanilla+? Titty mods? What are you trying to mod your game into?

>>529328516
I have genuinely no idea what that button actually does, specifically. It seems to have a 50/50 chance of setting off a nuclear device in the code whenever I've tried it. If you've killed any important characters I'd check to see if they've been resurrected, but if it works it works I guess.

I feel sorry for those diehards still genuinely waiting for it to be announced.

Also, I put everything in one package because i'm not sure if I can even untangle the mod at this point
Corpus and Grineer factions are so entangled with eachother that removing one would change the context entirely
So unfortunately I continue putting everything in a single mod :(
But hey, an update dropped that fixed the crash hopefully

>>529365952
>because i'm not sure if I can even untangle the mod at this point
Do you at least have the original files? When I read descriptions on some mods on Gabenshop the modders mention that they've lost their original files, so they had to "draw from memory", so to speak.

>>529366783
Honestly it's more of a fact that there was a long period of time where me and radioanon went into feature creep namek early in the development and added an entire corpus faction
Originally I intended them to be present in a single shop but before long, boom
Now they're a major faction

Regarding the files, yes, I have them

>>529364543
Honestly some bounties not existing is kino. Someone beat you to it or it was just a legend after all. Not the bong's intention so it isn't a good thing that he did it, but I do like the idea of a truly living world.

>>529366985
>Now they're a major faction
They make sense, because if the Grineer were isekai'd - so must the Corpus. It's also quite funny to see the dusters and other bandits in the Shem area becoming roadkills for that huge Grineer base's patrols. The nearby Agony demons' camp gets thot patrolled by the Grineer too, a very funny sight to behold. And the animals from Warframe somehow look Oddworld enough to fit Kenshi - pic related.

On a side note - I am impressed how the HN is still alive after all those "aliens" have arrived. I'd have assume the Grineer keep them as a "control group" of humans, since they are the purest on the moon. Also - cheap guns. Common bandits should ditch their puny crossbows, and get the not_AKs and not_UZIs, to do what all the favella creatures do - shoot at each other without aiming properly.

>>529366985
Also I have this screenshot. Many, many Holy Bricks were made during that day, I am sure. Never saw such "invasion" again ever since. Must be a glitch in the map generation. Why would those two Grineer spaceships spawn so close to the ground, and to each other?

P.S
The "alien crossbows" are amazing, I love them. I use the two types that use the standard bolts and the Ballista. Very kakkoi.

>>529367352
Yeah, I already found a mod that fixes the issue. This game is perplexing. I want to play it and I don't want to play it. It's janky, not finished, fun, not polished, inresting, sadisic etc

>>529366985
Ah, and ONE MORE THING:

The peasants "hired" by the Argon cartel have no protection against the acid rain of that area. Give them some acid-proof coats. 85% protection is just enough. Same with this UC noble who is high all the time. If she sits inside her palace - that's okay, but she is still armorless against the acid rain.

>>529368319
>>529368552
Thank you for posting these, will try to adjust
Probably when Radioanon is on a break

>>529368093
>only alive as a "Control Group"
Actually it's mostly about apathy and indifference
Both Grineer and Corpus are quite far away from Holy Nation settlements
Why waste effort and resources on a war with a bunch of hicks hanging around their river while you've got closer issues to worry about?

>>529369786
While you are here - the Bog Bunnies sometimes spawn units that have only leather armor torso, and nothing else. Bug or a feature? I thought their standard issue armor was this coat.

Also - they wandering Viera one time started a fight against that Grineer base in Shem. The bunnies usually do not get in troubles like this. I observe them fighting together with the Argon lads all the time - they heal and help each other.

Any updates\plans about the corporate Ash Hares?

Go to the shame corner.

>>529377509
they're always hungry and they're only good for combat unfortunately they have a bad XP malus to athletics and dexterity means they both move and attack slower.

Hiver soldiers are the superior warrior race. low upkeep (food), faster attacks, no combat XP malus, higher max speed, lower bleed rate, higher heal rate. the only negatives for them is the lack of head and footwear.

>>529379123
Personally the lack of helmet makes them unplayable because they're always at risk of getting one shot with no counterplay.
Hunger is a meme and so is basebuilding IMO; both are purely for roleplay purposes.

>>529379713
Hiver soldier heads are pretty strong. sure later when you get good armor Shek head are better but
>Hunger
Its bothersome maintenance. not a big deal but annoying.
>basebuilding
Nah. basebuilding is great. start your own little mining/farming operation grab a scorchlander armorsmith/weaponsmith to train up and get your squad with matching specialist quality gear to dominate the world.

The thing is training smithing takes longer than just buying or finding equivalents, even for a new player who's just bumbling around without knowing where the good shit is. Same thing with food; you can just buy it in such large quantities it doesn't matter. When you start looting ruins you have more ration packs than you know what to do with and start literally throwing them on the ground.
I like the concept of basebuilding but the way it was implemented it's just hilariously underpowered. If you want a genuine reason to interact with it aside from roleplaying you'd need to massively reduce the heal rate or make beds much more expensive or have armor and weapons require maintenance or fucking something. And even then I don't think you could ever get a justification for actually making your own base instead of just buying houses.

>>529380306
I mean, try playing Nobodies as 5 Shek without stealing, it can get kinda rough

>>529380987
>The thing is training smithing takes longer than just buying or finding equivalents
not really, its pretty easy by just buying fabric and grinding bandanas (and its even profitable), Weaponsmithing is less profitable but its easy too, just buy iron plates. you can do it in the town with minimal setup just need to periodically sell product and resupply materials.
>you can just buy it in such large quantities it doesn't matter
True, but if you are going to build a cotton farm for armor might aswell build a food farm too.
>And even then I don't think you could ever get a justification for actually making your own base instead of just buying houses.
farmlands and mining. I agree it could use more work but you already have a reason.
I like self-sufficiency. I dont want to rely on trading

>>529381105
>without stealing
Arbitrary restriction that makes any conclusion useless. May as well say that playing with hunger rate quadrupled through the FCS.

>>529381475
You're conflating ease with time. They are not related. It is easy, but it is extremely slow.
>I like self-sufficiency. I dont want to rely on trading
Again, that's fine as a roleplay reason. But what you're doing is strictly inferior in terms of actual game-mechanics.

>>529382220
It's not arbitrary if Shek are usually too proud to be thieves.

>>529383694
Pure roleplay, see above. Also, there's nothing stopping a scorchlander or hiver from doing the stealing.

>>529387560
Implying proud Shek warriors would travel with bug men or... I forgot their slur for Scorchlanders.
>roleplay
Well, that's part of the fun, isn't it?

>>529387923
Yes; my whole point has been that roleplay is the primary reason for most decision making in the game. So calling Shek 'bad' is fucking retarded, particularly when they're statistically one of the strongest races.

>>529376701
Shek are average.

scorchas if you're trying to be slightly more friendly with them

>>529393603
>Bars don't have private rooms
Who said anything about rooms?
And if no slaver from the UC is willing to buy her, I'm just dropping her off in Reaver territory or Rebirth, let Valamon or a holy sentinel do the hole destroying. Less profit, but at least she gets the correction she needs

>>529393603
The worst part is she's right. You wouldn't get away with it. The brat would probably catch you herself. Oh, and don't forget, she has probably made some "friends" amongst the guardsmen and city-local higher ups. Whatever fun you had with her is going to be nothing compared to the samurai rape train unleashed on your puckered sandy ass. Remember, the empire not restricted to a few cute scorchfus. When biggest fucking Sheks & Greenlanders you'veseen in weeks come sauntering out of the Sho-Battai police station with the ol' "gonna eat good tonight!". They sure will. Guess who's on the menu.
>Charges: Rape

>>529395214
how about giving her to the nice humans in sonorous dark?

The 'remember me' quotes are so fucking funny. Just having some one-armed bandit cuss you out for killing half his friends and leaving him maimed and bleeding in the sand.

And the other anon is right. Revenge stories are gay - especially shounen powerscaling arcs. Dude's more likely to die of an infection than he is go super saiyan mad, gather of a whole crew (who's going to follow a loser who get their ass kicked?) and hunt down that faceless drifter to get your ass kicked...again.

So...was Captain Eygore always this crazy or was he tortured to this state ?

>next oblivious nomad caravan arrives to find the butchered remains of the last one in the streets

>>529409139
They talk about him like everyone, including the nobles, is scared of him, so it'd make more sense to think that he was always the most animalistic soldier in the southern hive and joined the empire out of his own volition.
Hell, maybe they exiled him from the hive because he was too violent even for them, could have tried something against their king or started killing its own hive brothers. It's already implied that he's responsible for a massacre in Black Scratch because the empire couldn't control him, which doesn't sound like someone you can torture into doing your biding.

>>529409139
I want fem Eygore to abuse me...

>>529409139
Personally, I think he was always an extremely violent hiver. The Southern Hive kicked him out, and Eyegore traveled north killing everything in his path until the United Cities captured him and gave him a job.

Eyegore is so damn scary the Southern Hive won't even invade the UC because it means they might run into the guy.

I love the southern hive they unironically might be one of the strongest factions, the hivers are uncompromising to deffect exept for the rare lost hivers, and they fight good for the king and the queen

>>529417283
I like their aesthetic and the fact that they adopted a second empire killing machine as their king, but I feel like they have a lot of wasted potential, like the Reavers, the Preacher's Cult and every faction in the southeast part of the map around the Ashlands

>>529409139

Tinfist (or some other antislaver) says how he's a victim of the empire too or something but I would take it with a grain of salt. His CPU isn't the best.

>>529424087
That's probably above average if we consider most people can't write or read in Kenshi

>>529419510
It's one of those things that may seem okay in concept, but the reality is now every time you kill some bandits your base gets raided five more times since you can't execute them and some inevitably live. It just gets really fucking annoying rather than being a cool moment due to the extreme regularity. Walking by the same patrol is much less common than a base raid, which are already stupidly common in vanilla

>>529423926
>get taunted

That's also a flaw of the game. Also - you can cancel the raids in the Options.

>>529425016
Do remind me - which NPCs state this information?

>>529426702
>That's also a flaw of the game.
No, that's a very intentional design. The game would be completely different if you could.
>Also - you can cancel the raids in the Options.
If you did, then the 'sovl' feature wouldn't even be seen, so why care?

How is this game so ugly and beautiful at the same time?

Absolutely dogshit textures combined with a good vision for the aesthetic

I guess you're right.

>>529286979
As the scorchfus work on setting up their base of operations they get ambushed by a group of screaming naked men

>>529430053

>>529430487
the naked ones are surprisingly though the fight lasts all night and only after daybreak do the attackers finally stop getting back up for more beatings.
One of them had a funy helmet though

>>529427105
>No, that's a very intentional design.
Yeah uh, death items exist bud. The intention was there - the execution was no, quite literally. Do you not grasp the fact this game was dropped mid-development and declared finished? Crossbows arrived right before release. The game was not and is not finished, no matter what you or the studio says, they're just words (and they're wrong). Boats should've been in the game too but incompetency won the day. Not engine limitations - inability to overcome progamming hurdles.

Speak correctly.

>>529430936
and another funny helmet the scorchfus will keep them to commemorate the first victory they had in these Okran forsaken lands

>>529431684
Speaking of "death items" - it should take as much time as to unlock a level 80% lock. Instead my donut can "execute" an elder beak thing that has 5 seconds left to get up by insta-ripping a piece of meat from that animal. It makes no sense.

>>529431684
>Yeah uh, death items exist bud.
On animals. Not people. It's an intentional design choice for you, and every other humanoid character, to get beaten down but still pick yourself up stronger than before. Barring a fight against something so astronomically stronger than you that it kills you outright in combat.

>>529432039
A bug caravan arrives at the newly established outpost they carry a small stack of ancient books witch Mumi decides to perches in exchange for a pile of cats and a bunch of trash from the screaming naked men

where is kenshi 2?

>>529435518
Two of the Cannibals have begun beating each other no doubt driven to madness by there hunger for flesh

>>529435949
Chris says "hello"

>>529436094
Clearly the smell of a Wood Warder made them act unwise.

how did they manage to develop something that goes directly in reverse of what they aimed for?

>>529436094
The scorchfus come across a cannibal camp and promptly slaughter the degenerates inhabiting it

>>529436597
Hmm possibly would not be the first time

>>529438456
After the looting is done some of the cannibals are being healed but do not be mistaken this is not out of mercy or kindness

>>529436845
This is kind of funny
1. Game play is repetitive and arguably barely exists
2. While intriguing the lore is highly schizophrenic and relies on the player inventing half of it them self
3. This is the only consistently good part and some how good enough to make me stick withe the game

>>529439412
Having returned from their successful sortie the scorchfus begin construction essentials such as industry, farms, and crafting benches starting with stakes that allow them to burn cannibals alive

>>529439412
Glorious graphics and textures of a game made in early 2000s. Kenshi was published in 2018. Chris is a hack.

>>529440175
I know Chris did not do it intentionally but I really like how late 90s early 00s graphics look in general but especially in Kenshi it makes everything seem just that much more shitty and miserably. The game despite the graphics still having modern hardware requirements is kind of funny in a very pathetic way

>>529441496

>>529442635

>>529444304
Between the cannibals, Sheck berserks, screaming lunatics and the local wildlife there never is a quiet moment around the base

>>529445998
Another trading caravan arrived. How do they keep dodging the cannibals Mumi wonders, are they simply unpalatable to the local degenerates?

>>529447567
some how a leviathan managed to sneak in to the base but since its not bothering the scorchfus they have no reason to bother it

>>529448689
The base is taking shape the scorchfus have established basic industries but unfortunately the wind in the cannibal plains is virtually non existent so the scorchfus will need to cope very withe an unstable power grid slowing their progress at least until a stable fuel source can be found.

This will be interesting its been a while since I relied primarily on generator power, wind is normaly just way to convenient.

I hate the meme bug. No other unique NPC is as persistent with the recruitment as he is - even if the Player saves those NPCs from mortal danger.

>>529485152
>What are their stats?
Since they get wailed on so much, their defense is pretty high.
Lookout, Havok, and Teach are around the same. 40s for defense, about late 20s - 30s for attack.
Bum is Taunting, so he managed to reach 50 melee defense, attack is in the 30s. Since I forced him to wield the Fragment Axe his strength is 43, but his dex was way too low to be very quick so he's been using a katana for a short while.
Seiji is far ahead with 50 attack and 63 defense, this is because he did some solo training in the Deadlands. His strength is just a few points ahead of Bum's. He's the veteran of the group so he's been remembering how to fight better than the others.
Powerlevels are Seiji > Teach > Bum > Havok > Lookout
Lookout drops fast, he just has a toothpick and longsword. Havok used to struggle but he has better armor now and a long cleaver. Bum outstats Teach but he drops a lot, guess that's because of all the attention from Taunt. Teach is very defensive and lasts quite a bit because of his sabres. Seiji of course is very strong and buys a lot of time for the others to heal.

>>529486796

what was Chris smoking?

it has been a while since I played, coverage is pretty important for armor even if defense value is a bit lower overall right?

>>529508519
To my knowledge, coverage is the percent chance the armor applies. So if you have a helmet with 70% coverage, when your head gets hit a random number in [1,10] is rolled; if it's less than 7 the helmet armor applies if it's greater it does nothing. So yes, coverage is pretty important. Whether it's worth having a lower overall reduction depends on if the coverage is layered (for example a dustcoat on top of samurai pants) or how much of a change it really is. I wouldn't trade 15/20 at 80% for 5/10 at 90%, but if it was like a 60% coverage difference then yeah.
One important thing to consider, particularly later in the game, is that harpoons often deal massive damage if hitting something unarmored, but are completely (or near to it) mitigated by armor.

>>529519904
Fun Fact: assigning to many donuts to construction results in them not getting anything done, the reason every donut assigned to construction will grab 1-2 of the necessary material and run over to the construction site to add the material this result in the first donut reaching the site and to start adding the material only for the second donut to arrive and also try to add material but the second donuts will try to occupy the exact same spot as the first donut so they push donut one to the side then start adding the material then the third arrives and dose the same to donut two followed shortly by the forth doing the same to donut three, get enough donuts together and the first donut will get pushed far enough to be out of range and cancel the add material action before it finishes making them run back to their initial position to push every one aside to add their material resulting in a cycle of no one being able to add material before being pushed out of the way and rushing back to push everyone else out of the way.

Shingeki hanta, or something. I remember them. Their HQ is too close to Squin.

>I wish it was easier to make iron plates without an outpost.
You technically can have a base that is unmanned most of the time except when you need to mare iron plates.

>>529521986
Iron Plates is the prompt for:
>Would you like to interact with the rental and/or base-building system?
It's not intermediately obvious but the answer is always a resounding "no".

>>529525228
>You technically can have a base that is unmanned most of the time
You can? Damn

>>529525906
Bases are nice if you know how to do them, and if you set the game's options correctly.

God damn that's a lot of hungry lads

>>529526161
Yep. You can delay assault events by avoiding a direct load of the area once you depart - so the assault will patiently wait at your gates to activate the campaign AI.

>"I need to give players some low level bandits to beat. I don't care that their existence makes no sense - I am the game's developer!"
I am surprised no-one made a mod that reduces their spawn rate by 95%. There should not be so many bums all over the island. I understand that Chris was inspired by his beautiful Bongstan, but Kenshi isn't Bongland!

>>529527821
So, same as the caravans. The problem being that I will arrive to a bunch of retards patiently waiting at my gate to beat me up and my donuts will all be at the wrong side of the walls without turrets or defenses

By promising to not attack this faction of escaped rag-tag slaves, Umiko somehow made them swear on their mums that they are her new best friends. All Umiko wanted to do was to stop these humans from doing the suicide by Viera assaults. Instead Umiko made an enite faction have 75 positive reputation with her and her sisters. How bothersome.

>There should not be so many bums all over the island
For an island where starvation is a more common occurrence than battle, and the only humans with farms are the nation of religious fanatics, I'd say that's a normal amount of bums

>>529532051
They would have died a few days after becoming the bums. The island is dangerous. Instead they keep on existing, without food AND clean water!

>>529521629
As an example of positive bong code I'm not sure when or how this Leviathan got in to the base but it looks like it can't leave so it spends its days wandering back and forth and trampling the occasional cannibal raids

>>529503051
To be fair, it's supposed to be a meme weapon you're using just to impress Shek women.

>>529535350
Chris is a retard who thinks that a mace can weight 50+ kg.

>>529535350
yes because who would desire such a thing as highest blunt damage

>>529535350
>it's supposed to be
Ok Chris, well suppose the following: it's stupid and poorly designed.

>>529534340
Some slavers show up why they thought this place was a good place to sell their wares is a mystery

>>529539426
Is that a pingas?

is there a way tell which mod object/npc is from without manually searching in FCS?

Bong code dose not seem to like me today its been crashing almost every five minutes

>>529544025
>mfw too weak to save my friend from the 6 ft big titty cannibal baddie that wants to crush his pelvis before eating him

>>529543671
No. I'm putting together the wiki & interactive map to address that and other oddities about modlist inclusions. OpenConstructionSet exposes the necessary data so I had to weave in the successive mod overwrites/rewrites/deletes/duplication/etc. Can only achieve it locally at the moment since we're direct hooked to the way the modlist.config is read by the game.

Have to work through building up the custom API to manage on-demand modlist configurations & their display for logged in users on the map. It's coming along. The modern MediaWiki extension development system is a bit finicky & specific. I'll figure it out soon enough.

What is Beeps canon combat proficiency?

>>529545453
None. He's useless and annoying.
But the Reddit consensus is katana

I think I'll go with martial artist. Should pair well with toughness and dodge bonus.

God speed post pics of the bug becoming swole

best luck of anon, sounds like monumental task

>>529546336
Good way to lose limbs and turn him into cyber Beep

>>529544392
In the lands of north-west of Kenshi, the strong fucks the weak, and then the strong eats the weak...

>>529546927
Exactly.

Fucking

Two scorchlander sisters are waiting for work in a bar in Dreg. The clients are absent, so they drink bloodrum.

Fucking racists, refusing to aknowledge Skeleton superiority.
