What is the draw of kenshi? I own it but I had a hard time getting into it. I think I just don't like having massive amounts of allies following me around. Hell, I don't think I like allies that much at all in games following me around. However, I get the feeling this game isn't built for solo play.

How is Kenshi 2 turning out btw?

You can play with small parties and it's fine. The way stats and training shit works in this game, it's much easier to make a few dudes super broken than to make an army geared up and trained. The only reason I feel like large numbers are so good is if you shove crossbows on a bunch of the weaker ones, since crossbows are fucking stupid.

Kenshi is as close to dream game as something has ever gotten I hope the sequel lives up to the hype.

>>736631031
It's hard to get into but once you fight against the world long enough and get a foothold it becomes really fun. In my case I started as a weak trader barely surviving and exploring weird ruins between trade runs and ended up being a warlord of a small army capable to taking down some big bounties including Bugmaster. Basically when you finally find a thing that works you'll naturally do it and then encounter some random event or opportunity that will push you to the next objective. It's a directionless but fun kind of open world

I wanted to do a badass necron army but apparently I can't without mods. Gay.
Maybe I should add mods anyway, the 30 something max characters suck

>>736626208
I love Kenshi and this is kinda true sadly. I wish there were actual goals. You've seen everything the game has to offer in a few hours, after that it's just grinding to become the one

not him but yes, what was I supposed to be doing?

>>736634984
It could work with smaller parties, but I think it would gain a lot from having direct control over our character.
The problem with the party system is that there's nothing to balance it out. In M&B your party gets a salary, in kenshi as soon as they're hired their very soul belongs to do you can do literally anything you want with them.

>>736624264
>objective of toppling slaver and anti-skele faction on the map
ask me how i know youre brown

>>736635106
so improve the control system and combat in a way that makes it more interesting, like adding a relationship system with your faction members and making positioning more meaningful in combat, instead of just making the gameplay even more restrictive and simple

>>736634863
That's the risk part, but even that is easy to avoid. Just spend a little bit of time to get non-dogshit athletics so you can outrun everything. Steal/buy some decent heavy armor and medkits and you can have starving bandits wail on you safely to get strong.

>look at the map, pick a place that looks cool, stock up on food/heals, buy whatever weapons you want (not needed, martial arts is broken) and just go explore and learn about the world
its absolutely best if i tell you nothing else, the more you know beforehand the more it ruins the exploration

>>736636103
The idea was to set up a base that was 100% safe and self-sufficent so I could just corral excess party members there then take a small squad of elite members out to explore and recruit new people. I don't even think it's an impossible thing to accomplish, but it's turning into an insanely unreasonable time sink.

My favourite run has been RPing as another Holy Nation city and just trying to keep and feed over 120 characters while defending from constant UC and Shek attacks, protecting local settlements when the raids pass through and eventually taking a large force to their territory to fight them. You really need to organize jobs though.
>have one squad that is for exploration and are armed with the best stuff but lightweight with the highest combat stats
>one squad is literally just medics because the amount of people that get injured is always high. They have their own dedicated hospital
>guards and main army is heavily armoured since they dont have to travel they dont need movement speed. Set up guard posts so you can have them all stationed around your settlement, and they automatically run to attack enemies that are attacking your people
>everyone else has a rotation of farming and producing materials for crafting equipment
>some peoples job is literally just to haul resources to containers and spend 24/7 crafting food, make a dedicated canteen so when characters arent doing jobs they will automatically idle in the seats you build there and be near the food so they dont starve
Turned into the RTS I always wanted where I have to train and outfit every person in my empire while planning an invasion/defense against an enemy that is far away.

I would do the same with UC but I never found an interesting location in UC territory to build.

>>736636591
My base near Rot is basically exactly what you're describing. There are also training mods I have that make jobless/idle characters in the dedicated gym I built improving Strength, Toughness, and Agility during downtime. The only issue is that as I gain more knowledge about techs and buildings, the more I get frustrated with what a shit job I did setting up my base, and reorganizing things is no trivial matter as far as I can tell. Eventually I'll build the citadel of my dreams, but dayum-- getting there is giving me an ulcer.

>I get the feeling this game isn't built for solo play.
A lot of people seem to think this, but they are wrong. Most of my playthroughs were solo, and it isn't that bad once you learn the game. Having multiple characters makes the early game easier when you don't know what you are doing, but when you learn the game it's really not a big deal at all to go solo.

>>736636591
I like the idea of an adventure RTS, you build your base, but also explore the world with some of your units, I want the game to support that playstyle even more.

>>736636991
The problem is their regions are kindof boring, HN has places with rivers and is thick with smaller friendly settlements to patrol and defend, UC kindof sucks for that stuff. The fun from faction LARPing is having others to interact with, and be enemies with, in the UC territories the problem is they are all hostile farmers, or am I missing somewhere cool.

In regards to Bast I like to keep out of there because its where I send people for training, if you build in an area it can sometimes mess up the spawns unfortunately.

Does anyone have any idea if this is from a mod, and if so, which mod it is? I have like 600+ mods from a pack on Steam installed so I have no goddamn idea what it could be.

Found this hiver named "Gills" locked inside of a "cuckold's casket". No idea what the fuck is going on. He was located by a place called "cuckold's grave" by the border of Shun and The Hook. Then there's an "empire mass grave" location also next to that with a Scorchlander named Azyurmna who was locked in a grave, who is now folling me around. This whole thing has got me so confused.

You are just some ship captain.
You can explore the cosmos to get some ancient advanced (human) tech to buff your colonies and eventually rival the established factions, but the tech you're salvaging is explicitly contraband so they will try to take it from you.

it's a hard thing to mentally "get over" but losing in this game makes you stronger.
every time you recover from getting your shit pushed in you get more toughness, which lets you fight for longer to get more toughness etc. and if you lose an arm - that makes space for a much stronger mechanical replacement arm.

so retards pick up this game and mine copper to get meager cats while slowly grinding strength, dont "get it" drop the game and decide it's boring.
the actual gentlemen's way to play is to skirt the line between life and death and pick fights and steal and get knocked down 10,000 times and get back up again.

Ironically the easy mode start is the one where you spawn as a slave and get beat up by guards every day, not the one where you start with money in the safe town.

>>736645669

>>736624264
I tried making my own mods for this game at one point but it's essentially the worst experience ever and the more you play with the modding tools the more you come to understand why mods really haven't much breakthrough until recently.
For one the dialogue system was never meant to accommodate quest/task based dialogue so everything NPC's could give as a task is merely a suggestion because they don't have anyway really of determining whether you've completed a said task outside of fetching items. Even then the NPC's will often drop a lot of dialogue because the game is very CPU dependant and sees dialogue as "fluff" and will drop it the moment the main worker core becomes a bit taxed.
Further you have to use a very antiquated version of blender to make assets, the assets you make can't be too complex and can't contain things like specular highlights or complex texture layers so everything has to very simple so this further decreases how much creativity you can have with creation.
There's just so many issues unfortunately that basically come down the engine that some issues will never get corrected like physics calculation.
It's clear to see why Chris though it was more prudent to start over on a new engine than have to find bespoke methods for things in Ogre.

>>736646480
