[Shek gyaru] editionPrevious >>503534923>Current version: 1.0.64>Latest important announcement (February 6, 2024)https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/233860/view/3995322938520824257>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."https://store.steampowered.com/app/233860/Kenshi/https://www.gog.com/game/kenshi>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.>https://pastebin.com/zw9fCJdC>Some modshttps://mega.nz/folder/x4d1SLwZ#i09S39AoukUkqYLtHaTWTg>AND a link to the giga muscle-girl modhttps://mega.nz/folder/6ZBmADJK#8uL2GFZYoLgdS6kBV0DJfA>Some moonrune mod archive on the LL Kenshi threadhttps://ux.getuploader.com/hentaibutayarou/index/date/desc/1>LL modding threadhttps://www.loverslab.com/topic/87203-kenshi/>post with jonijonikenshi mods (like milking mod) after he deleted it allhttps://www.loverslab.com/topic/87203-kenshi/page/48/#comment-4050418>LL mod indexhttps://www.loverslab.com/topic/172556-kenshi-mod-index/#comment-3450198>Kenshi Fuck Modhttps://www.loverslab.com/files/file/24433-kenshi-fuck-mod/>The package of optimization mods from Nexushttps://mega.nz/folder/XhERDCRI#37kPAWeA_LKfPTO-qiaY1Q

how good are junkbats as a musket analogue?
>>505860361eaglecrosses are better as a musket analog, springbats are more akin to a shotgun, both are good, springbat is a good option to deal with robotic or highly armored enemies, skinbandits get felted in 1 shot of a springbat, a squad of 4 springbat users will turn them into mush, justbe careful with the friendly fire.

are there any revolts/wars in kenshi that could be considered ethnic revolts?ie. shek uprising
>>505870643Southern Hive, they slowly start taking over the pits if the gang lords are death and launch a full island takeover if the western queen is death, i love that world state, it leaves the world in utter chaos, aside from that only the sheks with their yijad against the holy nation, the other revolts are more ideological.
>>505871249if i’m doing a full hivethrough what castes are good gunmen and what castes are good melee fighters?
>>505871934Im doing one rn myself, best gunmen are workers, they are the fastest race, good for reposition, they also come with a bonus for turrets, melee figthers are of course soldiers, i keep them taunting so they drive the attention away from gunners, however, i'll say i've been pleasantly surprised by princes, idk what it is but they kick ass more than the soldiers and last more in battle than the shek warrior i have a squad of hacker wielding princes and once they are around 30 they become absolute units, my strongest unit is this hive prince named wenzi, princes also make good gunners if you dont feel like letting them use swords.
>>505870643Chris is a bong who lives in a bong city populated by modern day bongs.Take a guess.
>>505870643Is Elder dressing up retarded drifters in heavy armor to carry out total fleshie death in the name of skeleton supremacy an ethnic revolt?
>>505881565if you consider skeletons an ethnic group, then definitely
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqTai9IZm8kIt gets worse... trust me.
>so busy with work that I forgot to bump /keng/I want out of this wage cage!
>fell for the half life 3 memeWelp, I'm gonna build my donuts a gym and a bunch of springbats.
I never watched a game awards before, im not sure what the fuck i just watched, im scared, i need to hug my scorchfu
I found out the Black versión of the hive armor from hives expanded is uncrafteable, i also found more pieces inside the mod that are not added for some reason, i made it researchable and craftable as well as the fogmen gear, it is really stupid making a cool armor mod and not have it be craftable baka
lollipop fragaxe
>>505909272Usually a bunch of big company shilling.
>>505909272All these events have been really underwhelming for a while now. They don't even do E3 anymore. All these events do now is provide ample ragebait for /v/.
>>505820181Bump for answers.The mod doesn't mention anything other than a possible random encounter.
>>505928219I somewhat remember that they are in some lab. Somewhere.
>>505929959In the Ashlands, Floodlands or the central acid rainy part perhaps?Thank you, I think I have a better understanding now. The readme doesn't explain the process and the optional submods only add to the confusion.I haven't tried playing Kenshi seriously before due to the atrocious performance. With some performance mods it's playable now, but crashes and lag from some kind of memory leaking are still frequent. I dread the moment when I have to build my own settlement and use two separate squads.
>>505930876the bong code is ruthless, but sometimes it sleeps, and you can play nicely for one-two hours.
Should I bother with slaves (from player slavery mod) and building slave farms/buildings?
>>505933708What amazes me that this game manages to be butt ugly and run like a geriatric donkey at the same time.Over the years I hoped the performance woes would at least be solved, but all was in vain...I refuse to support devs who won't optimize their games. Kenshi would be so much better off running on the Mount & Blade engine.
>>505935054Supposedly Orge is being updated sometimes. The engine is fine - Chris is just a talentless hack.
>>505935207I can believe that.The game is actually pretty shallow, especially without mods. Wide as an ocean though.
Can I leave my base empty?There is nothing there to steal, I need to roam around a bit for some faster dosh, as I have just 1k cats now after taxes.I have ore processors up and running, iron plates, and copper plates are up and running. But profits are low, I am building farms, but I didn't know that you needed so much of the crop to actually build it, so that fucked me up.Do I still need to pay taxes if no one is home?
>>505946545If no one is there the base will not be raided, if you moved everyone to another base during a raid the raid will change directions to the new one.
>>505935207>>505935464Well Chris didnt knew how to code, he was Just an autistic security guard in bongland with a dream, aparently he self taught how to code as he was developing kenshi and the only help he got was his sister (male) to write dialogue, to be honest is a miracle the game even works, however he should have hired an actual codemonkey to fix the game the moment the game developed a cult following and add the rest of the shit he wanted to add in the game but alas... The poll happened.
I have SSD - 110 GBs - and most of it is filled with Kenshi, Kenshi mods, and my safe files. I have ~3 GB of free space on /C, and I blame Chris for it.
>>505966551Save files bloat in a rather nasty manner as campaigns drag on.>>505954835The poll was little more than justification to follow through with what was likely to happen anyways. Due to the existence of middleware licensing we're unlikely to ever see Kenshi fully cracked open - there's proprietary shit in there which is going to lead to trouble.Six years on and not a one wizard has managed a fork build of the passion project. The game is not exactly obfuscated, though as an eternal novice programmer it's out of my depth to commit to the deed. Nevertheless, it leads to a reality that despite almost no opposition from Chris the game stagnated into the form it remains as. this could all circle back to the reality Kenshi (1) is a quagmire of spaghetti code that isn't worth the effort. It is a charming niche game that could've been polished. It is not a profitable venture for an actual business to maintain and continue to work on. That seemed to be the conclusion reached years ago. Whether it's true is too late to debate.
>>505969335I thiink i have the autism necessary to do my own kenshi at some point, all the pieces are there, they just need to be expanded upon, the only thing i'll miss about kenshi is the hivers, their desings are cool, they are alien but not too humanoid nor too generic overdetailed alien bug thing, just stickmen with weird heads, almost look like cubism characters
>>505946545>Can I leave my base empty?NPCs can't steal anything but the food from the literal "Food barrel".Beware, the bong code might delete your base.
>Download a bunch of mods >One of them removed normal ore storage boxes, now only have tiny and small ones available
>>505984318Thats why i encourage to learn to FCS and check every mod you introduce because modders are niggers with no self control.
>>505970304You don't need to get caught up in the creative details. Of the mind such things emerge via worldbuilding that goes hand in hand with the game's design. What has continued to appeal me to Kenshi is what the late game lacks. The override system provided an opportunity for all sorts of states of change & narrative branching. The absence of a few key feature and the difficulty in implementing it all through the mediums we have makes it too big of an ask.I'd love to thoroughly alter the mapspace, alter weather patterns, have an easy-access faction warring system and have a more thorough / flexible set of (custom) dialogue checks. Luxury features I can only hope Kenshi 2 offers.
Is there an up to date mod that hides the facemask layer in the squad view? Basically transmog.I spent a lot of time making my waifu- characters appealing, I don't want to look at the same ugly helmet and not being able to tell my squad apart!
Oh wow this is still aliveNever played with UWE before, I just tried. I kinda like the fact there's a ton more freakishly annoying factions, makes me want to play to destroy them, but is it me or is this mod...a bit too grindy? Every faction seems to have 50+ soldiers in their base, which just makes it a massive grind to beat them down (they just wake up, bandage, get dropped and repeat) plus you have to grind up 10 decent recruits to even take down the dust bandits. And stuff like drugs...it was always too OP, I admit, but it was annoying because drugs is just running from place to place, no REAL danger involved. UWE seems to make drugs sell for only 200% increase in UC cities and the entry price for shinobi thieves is 35k. This just makes it more grindy, not more fun.Dunno, is it just me or is it a bit annoying?
>>505995359Modders suck at game desing, more news at 11
>>505996957I think UWE works, because it's very annoying and gruelling, which works well with Kenshi. I just think the drugs part and some other minor things are annoying. Or at least it feels that way?
>>505988928Train toughness on your waifus so they won't need to wear a helmet.
>>505954835That's why I feel fully justified in praising the game, but pirating. That's EXACTLY the amount of effort and love he put in.
>Walk into Shek city>They search for contraband>Sure, go ahead. Nothing to declare>They find an Okran Bible>10k bounty>Flee>Wonder if I can turn him in>I can, buddy is imprisoned for 200hours>Intend to just wait it out>Notice that he suddenly dissapeared>Did not see him getting attacked>Check wiki>Prisoner can despawn if they are in a different zone, which wasn't loaded in for a whileCunts, only lost an hour but still miffed.I even thought about leaving one behind with him in case some funky shit happens.
>>506007441Prisoners might despawn but your characters shouldn't.
>>506007441>Walk into Shek cityLater that day...
>>505988928Use Iron Hats. They don't obscure the face, have better defense values than you'd think, and they're good drip.
>>506011035Pretty much happened to me, as described here.Guy was simply gone from the game
>>506017992I think that is talking about non playable characters being imprisoned, PLAYER characters in prison cells shouldnt disappear since they are always loading the zone, i've had guys rotting on slave camps for hundreds of days that i never bother to rescue but also i dont dismiss, however every copy of kenshi is personalized so i dont know.
>>506015441Where to ?
The crossbow smith grind
>>506007441Is that what happened to my Cat-Lon?
>page 10
>>506034587Old time adventure when chopsticks only had dahlia as companion, the samurais followed us when we where on the hook and so took the oportunity to actually make them fight crime for once and beat some red sabres, i put the red sabre boss to work the fields in the slavefarms and shade i killed her by throwing her unconcious ass in the nearest beakthing nest once i noticed she didnt had a UC bounty.
>>506046636Naruhodo.
Elder crabs are pretty scary out here in Greenbeach.
I downloaded the Nier mod, and I am not sure if it's intended but now I have constantly respawning YorHas in the Hub, with randomised names that are recruitable.They all have stats in the 1-10 range, so issues regarding being overpowered.I genuinely do want to fill my base with hot Android babes
No more tears, time to sleep
>>506057761>don’t like cybernetics>play hivers all the time>they keep losing limbssuch is life
Grineeranon heresorry for a long time of radio silenceFrankly, the identification required on 4chan is an annoyance, but that's besides the pointThe point being, Warframe 1999 update dropped and as such, I have become reinvigoratedNew assets and new ideas are now availableIncluding but not limited to:- Viktor's Outfit- This cute little Doodad (Picture Related)- Some more Infested Nonsense- A bunch of bizarre misc items, such as A Fistful of "Hollars" and other such- A list of clarifications on the loreGrineer mod is going to stay alive yet! I promise you that!
Picture of the Viktor outfit, seen next to the giant womanIt's sleeveless and I guess it's also stylish
I just handed the files to Radioanon, super stoked to see what he's going to cook up with them
Also the Funny Green Cat Hat, Because The speaker is just so damn fucking cute I literally can't even
Just curious. Where did the horny scorchie meme come from?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNxv3hA6NS4The third and final major crisis was to be signaled by the arrival of the shore birds. Across the southern beaches migratory birds begin to congregate, seemingly without cause. A sign of the times so to speak. The disappearances start not long after. It won't be long before the gates are locked.
>>506102916Dark skinned girls with white hair are pretty popular in general
>>506060636>I genuinely do want to fill my base with hot Android babesHire - import - hire, until you have a harem of 2Bs. Post screenshots too.
>Funny cat hat>Originally intended for them be Skelly bandit auxilliaries.>Made a sword sect instead.Inspiration takes you to weird places.
>>506102916Obsidian skin sexo
>>506111257any other anons making sects in Kenshi?
>>506091332>sorry for a long time of radio silenceIt's okay, life is not daijobu sometimes.>>506092704>next to the giant womanThe fujoshi monster...>>506101795>>506111257The nips will love this one>>506102916There were like 50 of this "AI" generated images. I saved like 85% of them, somewhere.>>506103574Aw yiss, sweet skeleton schizo-ramblings
And now, they are off, is been a long time since these two have gone out to explore together, now is the moment to return to the motherland: Vain, so our brothers can make their own hive gear and weapons.
>>506121969>Rescue>First Aid
Also, an image of the Cyst
>>506028345After playing again, on an older save it happened again.My guess as to what triggered it, I turned in a bounty. My mate was still imprisoned while I did this, after handing in the bounty he was gone.This time I had a pretty recent save, I turned in the bounty again, but this time nothing happened to himI hadn't checked on him for a while, to load his cell. So it might have been a combination of the two
>>506121969Horrifying
>>506028345I recently had bugmaster disappearing from prison, I'm still mad
>>506121969These things overran an entire Holy Nation outpost. They are evil.
>page 10, again
The vtuber award show playing in the background made the Kenshi grid less insufferable.
Crossbows are really strong, wow.
>>506160616Yeah but ammo management is a pain
>>506160616The real apex of kenshi wasnt tinfist or catlon or any of those supposed "legends" but instead the unnamed dustbandit with the toothpick
>>506161307Get a mod that compresses the ammo. It makes the NPCs with crossbows actually bad melee fighters, which is logical.
>>506160616>does considerable bleed damage, basically a ranged katana as if katanas couldn't be more mogged in this game>even the weakest crossbow still does a bit a damage, even if it says 0>insane stunlocking potentialI remember when my skeleton martial artist wouldn't kill a dust bandit because he kept getting shot in the face with a toothpick and that's when I realized how OP crossbows are. You get a bunch of crossbows aimed at one dude and they will have a hard time doing anything.
>>506161307I wish there was a job that allow crossbow users to automatically grab at least 3 stacks of bullets from the bolt box, is kinda annoying trying to manage all my stinger units and the leader and see if they have bolts, thats why i moved from toothpick to rangers, so they all use the same bolt type to mitigate the autism a little bit.>>506164202Another thing about crossbows is that while they are shooting they have stun resistant, many times i had a stand off with another bow user and even if i hit them, they will not flinch and keep shooting instead like nothing happened so you cant even interrupt them with a counter crossbow (or distract them, they are deadset on whoever they are shooting and will ignore your own bowers) if you dont either cripple the right hand, the leg or KO'd instantly, the only way you can interrupt them is manually move someone close to them in a circle pattern to avoid being shot and once you are next to them click attack to force them to melee.
>>506171917>The donuts play sad music when /keng/ reaches 10th page
>>506162061imagine if someone modded in a unique character on the same level as tinfist and catlon with a uniquely powerful crossbow
>>506181028NPCs can't hit-and-run, so it's impossible.
/keng/, don't die.
*thunk*
how big is your Kenshi folder ?
>>506187523Have a bump.
An extremely quiet day today on /keng/
>>506181028In order to do that you need to be more crafty about it, just adding 1 npc with an eagle cross like bow is not enough, crossbows, as scary and annoying as they are, they are more of a team weapon, trash mobs of enemies will fare better in combat if they have a crossbow guy with them, this is because the moment the target gets shot all the other teammates, even if they have like 1 stats can hit the target as they stumble, this is why dealing with them is a pain, a lone toothpick user is nothing, 4 with an extra 5 melee guys will wear down your strongest level 100 martial artist, they may not down him, but they will batter him like no other enemy has done in a while. In order for this hypotetical crossbow boss to work you need to take notes from noble hunters, eagle crosses are basically a portable harpoon turret, but it has a huge weakness and that is reload time allowing you to bait a shot and just walk towards them, however, the noble also has like 6 well trained and well armored empire noble hooded guards that put preasure on you and you need to decide if you try and land hits on the noble or you fight the noble guards with the chance that he may kill you or try to distract them with other guys and have your primary damage guy kill him, something like this could work, in a similar fashion to catlon calling his thralls, this boss could call his goons that are well armored and trained while he takes potshots at you, better if there's others with crossbows too but shitty ones
>>506215819the game has "friendly fire" too. It complicates such idea on a bigger scale beyond "1 crossbow 5 swords".
>>50622068160 or 80 ranged skill (this includes pres shooting) and 1 lantern of radiance and that mf will never shoot his teammates, something interesting about pres shooting is that when it says 100% friendly fire avoidance (wich is not hard to reach since it scales with the other stats) even if the bolt model colides with the model of the target, it will phase through because it has 100% friendly fire avoidance, the larntern is to avoid the stats dropping at night time, skeleton legionaires with the scouts, the scouts will never shoot their bros except at night time.
what are good animals to fight for leveling?
>>506225585Gorillos or crab nests in howler maze
Chris added crossbows late in the development stage, but he didn't add shields. If Chris wanted "katana only" island - why did he add crossbows? The samurai had big bows, not crossbows. And the samurai's ashigari did have shields, to catch arrows. Chris is a lazy and inconsistent hack.
>>506230896Fun fact, people can actually block arrows with the sword but even when the *clank* of the sword triggers the character still gets the full force of the shot, i think chris should have leaned full on the 80s over the top asian samurai/ martial art movie tropes and let people block arrows with their swords.
>>506201980My screenshots folder is 1.3 gigs, I have a folder with regular Kenshi art but it's much smaller.
>>506230896I think he just added crossbows because he thought they would be cool for the aesthetic. Like they're more futuristic than normal bows because Kenshi has advanced tech but they aren't straight up guns because guns would make you wonder why people even bother with swords.
>>506240223He wasnt wrong, that old world bow looks sick af on anyone.
>>505839870Me and my wife :)
wake up, /keng/
do you think chris will ever release code for modders to mod or is kenshi’s coding too bonged even for that?
Remembering the first days of the playthrough, when chopsticks and dahlia where just normal citizens living in Bark dedicated to bounty and slave hunting, is a neat town, but is a shame Bark doesnt have a police station, i would have just drop the bounties in the slave camp but i wanted that sweet rep, if the town had one it would be the perfect town to rp.
Does anyone have experience getting the workshop mods working in the gog version?
>>506258315Supposedly he gave the source code to the team behind *enesis. Why or how? No idea, but I remember it was mentioned here.
>>506260426I was during that time, iirc that is fake, they are trying to do a script extender like skyrim has but im not sure if they are successful, i kinda left after the thread became a battleground for modnigger drama and my kenshi save got nuked along with my old hard drive killing my will to play kenshi for a few years.
>Minor factions Amplified mod>Fighting Bel’ecoz, some Shek rebels >A trade caravan strolls by>They beeline to the Bel’ecoz and heal themWhat a bunch of niggers.I noticed that they have a Shinobi tower in their town, I wonder if I could use some speedy dude to rush there, lure some Bel’ecoz in, and have the Shinobis come to my aid since we're allied.
>>506260426A slight misunderstanding. They had access to a small snippet for something specific, I believe in relation to the mod launcher that was being worked on. Ultimately aside from some small rumblings nothing really came out of that saga.The game's code is not hard to observe and browse per se. Building something to actually modify the game beyond some surface level tinkering like that of Cheat Engine has never came into being - so... It remains to be seen if anyone will come up with anything meaningful. Those people who were making promises years ago straight up did not deliver, especially that named group.
>>506263713Were they Nomads? They really like helping people.
>>506272198Nah, some simple traders.Cunts didn't even bother healing my guys
>>506258315I think Chris feels like the FCS is all the Kenshi modding scene really needs, and Kenshi has a lot of mods so he wouldn't be totally wrong.
/keng/, don't sink.
>no death screams in Kenshi>no modded death screams possible>no modded death scream from Deus ExWhat a shame.
Since Ci-huai wanted an aprentice and helper in the forge, i got this guy to forge some armor to get acquinted with his new job, he has some skill already from making armor plates for Ci, lets see how much he grows by making 3 rusty chainmails.
Now he should be faster at making the things necessary to craft armor
>>506305430what weapon goes into that square sheathe?
>>506305621>61as far as the island goes - this is an above average smith
Kenshi will enver get decent slavery or sex mods. Why even live?
>>506045842>
First aid
>>506321757Where's that Metal Gear looking robot from?
I love the smuggler bar, is always so comfy to stop there >>506309395The big one is a combat cleaver, the side weapon is a short cleaver (best secondary in the game in my opinion)>>506317605True, if only kenshians knew how to practice their skills, i wanted another guy to speed up the process, he makes the plates and other bitchwork and my legendary level 95 smith shits out masterworks without downtime.
We gotta need more hive notes now that i added the weapons too, at least the boys will be using comfy hive armor once silver transcribes all these notes.
I SHALL BUN THE WORLD
Good ol' Vain and its beakthings>>506350502Cute
She has become bigger and thicker.
Just started a new playthrough.I love this game.This time my base shall be at the junction between the border zone and the swamp.I wanna be able to use wind power.But I also want to grow Hemp and Rice easily, without having to worry about watering the crops.
Question, is NWD crashy? I feel like it might be what causes all my CTDs...
>>506353039https://pastebin.com/e8V1Cmb5It's a chaotic mess, but can someone give me a once over and help, the game's been near unplayable for years and I have no fucking idea what causes it.
>>506352961You can also try the burning forest or the border between shem and the swamp, burning forest has both arid and swamp so you dont need to water your cactuses or wheat and it has wind unlike the swamp, just beware the blood spiders, luckily they cant enter houses.>>506353039NWD mod adds factions and towns, if you have another mod that also adds towns to the same places it can cause conflicts.
>>506353784It's just zooming in or moving the camera around too fast randomly crashes
>>506356863Where do you have the game installed? i install it on the local disc C: (where the operative system usually is) because anywhere else the game just works like shit.
>>506357620UhhhhAh it's on my G-drive not my C-drive...Meh it's worked fine except for that.And I disabled NWDM and it's not crashing...
>>506359219SSD + /C drive, try this combo. It should work. Mods that ease the Kenshi's retardedly heavy (and still ugly) textures also help.
>>506359219>>506360076FASTR is a good mod for easing the game load times, makes it run smoothly, also, that NWDM is kind of fucked, you have 2 options if after everything the crashes persist 1. uninstall it 2. learn how to FCS and get rid of the extra towns the mod adds.
>>506360495he can lower the number of squads and NPCs per squad too, but that will make the island emptier.
>>506360684After modding myself and toying around with other people mods to learn how to do things, i've learned that if there's something that this game hates the most is town mods, you can up the squad sizes to the max and even if the game slows down it will still run despite the punnishment, same with running 256 people and sending them to different parts of the world, but dont you dare add an extra storm house or wall to squinn because the game will beg you to kill him, it also hates certain buildings like the ashland domes, that you need to do a ritual before entering so the game doesnt crash.
>>506360495>>506360684Load times are fast, I don't have issues with them.I just had issues with crashes
>>506341524The one next to my pack animals? Driftmetal Remnants.
>>506362234Then is a mod issue, idk what causes it because the mods in the pastebin i have never used, you will have to cut that mod or test one by one wich mod makes NWDM to crash.
>Viera start starts in the mountains of rebirthI know what I'm gonna spend the next 20 minutes doingTime to hit 80 stealth :D
>>506364280Awe, only made it to 75 before someone came in and killed the spiders.
>>506364280They grow very powerful from all that man-catching and man-fucking...
>90% coverage
>>506362234What's possibly happening is you have a mod conflict. NWDM and another mod are adding buildings in the same place, possibly. Check over your mod list, if you have mods that add new buildings or factions you might want to list them.

>>506387123There's also a mod for it by the same guy that colors the orange skeletons gray instead, I'm using it and that's why they look like that.
>Shek comes up to me talking shit>Shit talk back>"Square up hummie">"You are now allied to the Shek Kingdom">Guy walks with me out of the town>"We fight now">Walks awayThen some patrol picked up a downed mate of mine, put them in prison with a zero bounty. I thought the game broke, so I tried to break her outMeanwhile, as I use some tools to break the cage, I see a bunch of Shek guards pushing another mate into the corner, while continueing to slash at her, but not doing any damage.Their job showed "Bounty Hunting", though the bounty was for another faction that the Shek are hostile too.She was disguised as the faction, that put the bounty on her. I put away her armour, and the Shek stopped attacking her.Then, as I was about to finish cutting into the cage, some Shek came and got my mate out of the cage at around 06:00o'clock in the morning.It was all kinds of fucky.Also, everytime I look at a youtube video, I see people being capable of lockpicking prisoner cages from inside, though everytime I had people imprisoned, they say that the lock is to difficult for them.Even the few mates which I trained up to 19 in lockpicking don't get a chance to try their luck.Did some mod fuck with the lock difficulties, or are they really this impossible for untrained characters?
>>506388659>imageSometimes I wish I had a menhera gf. Then I remember that the court will take her side even if I call the police with 28 stab wounds inflicted on me, by her, using the biggest kitchen knife she could find...Anyway. Stop lusting after the Shek women, it's a stupid idea.
>>506388659Being inside the cage gives a debuff, yes. Train your donuts beforehand in the shinobi towers. It costs 10000 - just some pocket change.
Now skelebandits are properly spooky and different >>506388659Being inside a lock nerfs your lockpicking but once you have enough level you can lockpick from the inside.

Say, when you're first starting out on a new run and your guys get turned into slaves is it best to try and escape or let them beat you up until about 20 toughness or so?
>>506435658Slavers are free but more clingy bodyguards, so i always use them to train toughness to a level i know i can survive being beaten by a crackhead's copper pipe (around 20 or 30) is not like they are Hard to escape either, rebirth only because of the way the zone is structured, UC slave camps you literally Just walk away that and if the slavers didnt forgot your goon on the way, i always let guys be taken by slavers if they got catched and when i look back they are in the middle of fucking nowhere alone, reavers are also kind of good training buddies but since theres a lot of other annoying enemies around like grass pirates is easy for them to forget about your guy and let him die as a result.
You do try to unlock hydroponics as fast as you can right?Your workers don't live off dustwiches right?
>>506446170it’s eternal dustwich season for me
>>506446170Food is fuel for the body, not a luxury. I shove fried meat inside my donuts. Scorchies eat raw meat. If my donuts go near a bar - they can buy some fancy food from there, since they have an occasion.Also - mod on drinkable liquids is mandatory. Chris chickened out, but I want my fallout sims experience to be somewhat realistic at least.
>>506413889She will never love you. She will use you for your body, until it breaks underneath her.
>>506446170No, they live off fried veggies.
>>506395893They do often run/limp away when losing a fight.
>>506368542Space bunnies are terribly balanced nad have a stupid face.I did make a more balanced modification for myself (skills are less fight-focused, thier body parts are normal, expect for legs that get a big more HP).Alos animations for sexy furniture dont' work for them.
>>506455285I just wish npc took into consideration your equiped armor and your strength and dexterity when picking a fight. Dust bandits treating endgame characters the same way they treat a new character doesn't feel rightDunno if it's even possible to mod that in
Haven't played for a while.I remember the character walked to the tree from any distance and chopped it down. Now for some reason I can only right-click on things 3 tiles away or less. It's annoying af.I feel stupid or crazy.

Bought some real estate in Catun
>>506469792Gonna turn it into a warehouse and sweatshop
>>506446170It's mostly meat wraps made out of the local beak things that always try to attack us
>>506476561Meat wraps have the only item description that says the food is great. Shit like bread and dustwiches are described as dry shit ingame
>>506481668I imagine the fat in the meat helps alleviate the dryness of the bread.
Chris doesnt know how cactuces work, dustwiches should be more like a jelly sandwich, cactuces have a jelly interior to retain water, look at nopals for example, they are not cucumbers
Fog gaming
>>506487541He is a dumb bong, what do you expect?
>>506487541Isn't the cactus inside of a dustwich more of a paste?
>mfw our leader took us to settle in the foglands just to grow cacti, wheat and feed us dustwiches>refuses to grow greenfruit or rice
>>506495109Yeah is a thick paste that looks like green vegemite or spam, not the transparent or green jelly cactuces leave when chopped, a real dustwich would have the "leaf" peeled and dripping with the characteristic slime, would it look disgusting and have a strange texture? Yes, would it be dry as fuck? No, that shit is 90% water and proteins
>>506481668Gohan is also described as good and is as nutritious as the dustwich or the foodcube, however it occupies more space than the previous 2 and the ingredients can rarely be farmed together except with hydroponics, i feel gohan should give more nutrition just because of that, or take 3 bites like rations instead of 2

I'm working on the interior of The Crater and trying to restore the idea that it was a Second Empire facility ended by a explosion. My plan was to move the Head of Agriculture here and restore General Screamer the true to the Ashlands. What do we think so far?
>>506528073>move head of agriculture to the craterthat would defeat the entire purpose of why they fleed in the first place and why the bugmaster is where he is, skeletons retired to the ashlands after they fucked everything up along with catlon in a self imposed exile to what it once was the (possible) first empire capital because is an unlivable hellhole no one will dare to look up for them in there, other skellies that didnt wanted to associate with the second empire fucked off to the deadlands, bugmaster knows where he is, and even built exactly 5 cages for the 5 bosses you can find in the ashlands and arach was possibly the place where he and other humans once lived before shit hitted the fan (again), i do like screamer the true being in the crater tho.

What do you think is the most important mod? For me it is regenerates in towns. Without it any town that stays loaded becomes a dead town without shopkeepers and town guards during long games
Not today, /keng/. Not today.
This seems to be the direction of where the "Dust king" lives, lets say hi to him beep.
Dusters couldnt cope with the power of their own ballista turned agaisnt them, they tried to stop chopsticks but daliah and chopsticks ability with it stopped them before they could reach him, the dust boss got shot one in the chest and fell like a leaf, beep fought well, hes slowly getting used to the crossbow and mace.
As is tradition, every bounty we capture we take a limb with us, he was lucky to preserve an arm and that he wasnt as hated as other bosses, he may have lost both legs like simion.
Beep woke up from his bed and attempted to help chopsticks even after he was told that he had everything under control, dust king ignored chopsticks beatings for a moment, jumped down the stairs, punched beep knocking him out cold again, and returned upstairs to resume being beating by chopsticks, what an absolute chad.
>>506625921FASTR and kaizo for me, everything else is optional
>>506625921Convertable prisoners for me. It should have been an option in the base game because if you've managed to cage someone stronger than you, then the option of converting them should be available.
>>506638808>ywn be jackhammered into meat paste by Viera's hipsWhy even live?

>>506625921Aside from performance mods, I think the only mod I legitimately can't play without is Moar Unique Dialogues. It really bothers me how Beep is the only unique recruit with a lot of effort put into them.

Unfortunately for Savant I have decided the UC jail is a fate worse than death

i didnt knew the unwanted zone could spawn gorillos, i've only seen beakthings and the occasional crab
>>506672282Oh they show up. Interestingly, you never see white or black Gorillos together.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOKcHsphijkIt's worse than you think.
>>506673938Racism? In my Kenshi?
>>506673938I think they are starting to show up more since beakys take the spawn slots more than anyone else. black gorillos spawn but only on the border with stobe's garden, i've seen garrus and even turtles now that the beakthing population is getting controled, also the ammount of food i have is so absurd i've started to sell it for the sake of it, my hivers have single handely solved the world's famine, the tech hunters that arrive to the base, buy all the cubes and wraps they can before continuing their journey
who is the yakub of kenshi?
>>506686965Bugmaster
>>506686965Elder the way he talks about humans and how disgusting they are (like how they reproduce) leads me to believe he may have had a hand in the creation of hivers, but yakub is implied to love his creation iirc, and elder doesnt have dialogue about hiver players, now that i think about it, there's not a single skeleton that is atributed the genetic fuckery, you'd think since it was a big deal during the second empire that you will have a doctor mengele type skelly somewhere being mentioned.
>>506686965I wish Chris was based and cheeky enough to make a Yakub on Kenshi.
>>506686965Whoever it was that invented the Skeleton.
>>506690416why did he allow his life’s work to be solely credited to his sister?

>>506638808>>506647486Sadly, the race mods are hackly added int othe game .Vieras all share the same head and it's treated as a helmet, so no helmet for them. Also, if using better colored armor mod it messes up their faces.Let's hope Kenshi 2 will offer better support for modded races.

I was thinking how lab runs are so fucking dull and how they could be improved, in my thinking the lab runs i enoyed where deadland ones, as the workshops with the robots manning the turrets and the guards made for an interesting engagement, it actually felt like raiding a complex, where i had to plan out a bit, so i came out with an idea to improve the normal labsLow level labs>leave them as is>most dangerous thing inside are security spiders>mostly ancient books Mid to high level labs>have 2 harpoon turrets with lights>broken skellies man the harpoons and others guard the gate and the entrance to the lab>have some security spiders with them>skeleton miniboss with a guarantee ai core>lesser skellies will have burned cpu's so is easier to kill them and you get some money>engi researches and cores have a high chance of being therefloodland labs>crimper faction can be found here>labs have broken crimpers and some small robo spiders>broken sniper bots with shitty old world bows mkII or eagle crosses>crimper miniboss with either a engi research or an ai corelev coast labs>broken police bots guard labs and armories with spiders and broken snipers>proper labs have turrets and crimper miniboss being a mix of high level labs and floodland labswhat do you guys think?
>>506779172An import might make everything ok. When I play Kenshi I keep at least two saves per playthrough just for experiments like this. Make another save for your current playthrough and import with that to see if any problems will occur.
>>506783572I think all of this should be vanilla, and Chris is a lazy asshole.
>Rimworld Anomaly DLC not on sale>Rimworld sales only go for like 15% anywayAt least you don't try to rip me off Chris.
>>506797009My chris can be bri'ish, a bad coder, his own sister's slave and poor world builder but he aint a jew
>>506797009You can mod the ever loving fuck out of that game and its still receives DLC to this day. Kenshi was abandoned within 6 months. And no, small quality of life updates to the backend done years ago is not alleviating the chafing. Tynan is a whole different tier of dev and Rimworld is a class above this jank.
>>506797009Games like Rimworld and Factorio go by full price because people want to play them. You can't even recommend Kenshi to a friend because you know they will be frustrated when the games borks out
>>506799916One of the reasons i dont recommend people to build bases is this game is not because bases are hard or anything but because they tend to bug out in the most bizarre ways possible,, forget about the level, you should only make bases once you have build up enough tolerance to the game shitting itself.
>>506800584The game can tolerate one or two, maybe a couple more. There's definitely a point where the game starts melting down, the last like 30 minutes of pic related was hilarious.https://youtu.be/LHBfsuBx_PQ?t=6783
>>506802687https://youtu.be/EntA7YngDr8?si=Dh-kftZnhSvSTNji this guy also build a wall across kenshi albeit less fancy and had other towns across the map and didnt had issues about crashes or performance, i think that guy either had the game installed anywhere but where the operative system is (wich causes kenshi to run more shittily) and that the 100 hive mod doesnt up the character roster size, you have 100 hives but the limit is still set to vanilla 30 wich causes the game to get confused and end itself sometimes, in the video the game was already crashing before he even made an outpost, granted, this game Just like a bethesda game, works in esoteric, almost lovecraftian rules beyond comprehension so idk.

Whats your favorite place for a base?
>>506851581Shun, very comfy place, for combat i go stobe's garden.
Well that wasnt that hard, there's a lot of interesting things you can do with dialogue, i havent even scratched the surface, i may just do my own personal recruitment mod now...
>>506851581Had several bases, can't say I have a favorite place. Kenshi has many kino locations, despite the early 2000s level of ground texture quality.
>>506851581Dreg was funVain was okay but too easyI'd love to make a base in Unwanted zone, but the skin bandits are an issue.

Ok, how do I make a character heal itself while playing dead? Sometimes they do it, sometimes they get up only to be hit again
>>506861129i did but both kept crashing but i know what happened, i made a dialogue mod but then in the part it says "inherit from" i put the same dialogue but the game did not liked that and kept crashing, i think is funny that my first world state mods i never had the game crash on me, but when i try dialogue i somehow fuck the game up.>>506864332if they are in a squad with other people, and those squad members are standing/figthing the character will not play dead, they either all have to be down or be in different squads.
Anyone else experiencing weirdness wiht faction uniforms?I have armor that I nicked and placed in a vault (so they lose the stolen tag). So I have one of hte characters use it.Next thing I know, visitors to my base start going "where did you get that"? and all go hostile.Noticed it with tech hunters and viera. Both seem to use a normal/generic armor as their faction uniform?
On another note - what animation mods are you peopel using snd in what load order?I sometimes get weird runnning animations (stiff posture, arms to the sides)
>>506871208sounds like you've got Bong Coded.>>506871431>in what load orderLight mods on top, heavy mods at the bottom. Animations can't be heavy.
>>506871208That's intended. Even if you get the stolen tag removed, faction uniform is still not technically yours. It's someone else's uniform you stole and that alerts NPCs.>>506871431I used to use More Combat Animation but I've been using GROUNDED 2: Combat Animations lately. also have the overhaul for crafting and a bunch of idle ones for stuff like sitting. Haven't had too much problems with their load order, I also have the MEGA All-In-One Compatibility Pack mod, maybe it might help you if the problem is with modded races.

>>506874715Being so easily recognized make little sense given Kenshi world.No phones and cammeras, only word-of-mouth descriptions, and news travels on foot. Not ot mention, the idea that a member of a faction knows every other member of that faction so they can tell you ar an impostor seems silly.
There's a reaver camp nearby in the outlands, and my bugs hunger for war.>>506871208That is just working as intended, the disguise system is very simple and i wish they did more with it, basically the more stealth you have and pieces of the uniform the more convincing your disguise is, if you have max relations you can use the ally faction's armor like paladin or empire samurai armors respectively, real fuckery is giving an enemy faction uniform to another faction that hates them (paladin armor to a samurai) and they will fight eachother (tho they wont deal damage, making the fight infinite until a third party stops it) is very silly>>506871431More combat animations, i like the feel of them at this point i just cant go back to vanilla, other animation mods just lack that something MCA have.
Good thing i gave them small thieves backpacks full of bullets, i've left a trail of death reavers from the unwated zone to the reaver camp, i was wondering if they would have bullets once we where there.
A bit late bruv
Now this is MY camp, now for the second one.
Reavers getting savagely pounded by Wenzi, sorry scorchie, but there's no safewords around here... this is bug neighborhood now.
The battle lasted 3 days, the main forces of the camp where swiftly dealth with, however reaver patrols where trying and failing to save their brothers, they just kept adding to the evergrowing pile of bodies and gore the bugs where leaving at the front gate, the slaves where freed a while ago, but it seems that the brutality in wich the hivers took out their masters and their servants, they instead decided to embrace the security of the cage out of fear of meeting a similar fate, one of the reavers seemingly broke of his programming and tried to make a run for it, but quickly got his head blown off by chopstick's trusty crossbow, no reaver will come out alive from this place.

The "More Building" mod in the mega archive is broken and bugged, especially the banana trees. When I try to plant them the vertexes freak out and the game crashes.The double house also sucks and lacks stairs to the second floor.The ramps and are useless and can't be placed.Bridge building is a nightmare and sinks into the terrain.The large walls and gates are nice, but I can't build a ramp to reach the walls.It has some nice decorative features, but in its current state I do not believe anyone should use it or be listed in the mega collection.

how is archeology/exploring ancient ruins for lore in Kenshi?
>>506933664the TH dig things out, then (((Iyo))) makes sure the humanity never learns exactly how much the Holy Nation is right about the skeletons.
>>506928927I'm so close switching to that mod, it even has compressed textures compatibility.But I already built and furnished buildings with More Building, it's going to fuck up my game.
>people farm in this game>when in most zones just automatic foraging animals will net you with more dried meat than you can eat
Second camp, this one is bigger, lets go bugs!>>506943419I tried more buildings once and is funny how broken it is, forgotten buildings is just comfy, you have the mod where you can gather them from exploration or research them without having to hunt for em, and the mod autor has the decency to tell you if you need to f12 menu some of the buildings like sings instead of
Reaver forces where no match for the swarm, even after a whooping 6 days of non stop figthing due to wandering armies trying to retake the fort, all reavers where crushed, gutted or jailed in their own cages, some houses where innaccesible because certain british guy placed them a little too high making the stairs imposible to reach, aside from that, it was a nice raid, a lot of combat and a lot of experience for the newbies, a breath of fresh air from working on the city all day,
Something interesting happened tho, and was that as we jailed one of the ironclads, my bugs beelined towards the cage and started to hack her apart like the cannibals do, i never seen this happen, nor i know how i triggered it, i guess they just hate reavers that much, it didnt happened with the other jailed reavers, so maybe something bonged happened for a bit.
>>506964520
The skeleton and crab bandits presence became more notorious as the forces of valamon dwindled the more of his armies fell by the might of the swarm, they could have easily whiped ark from the face of the moon, but reaver hunting has become a fun sport and iniciation ritual for the hivers, slowly, just like the other gangs, they all became a part of The Pits.
Final(? armor upgrade, ready to plap some scorchfus.
>>506857863I live in the unwanted zone and their raids are rarer than you think, most common raids are reavers or crabbers, i live in the middle near stobe garden and i got raided like 3 times by the foreskin bandits and they havent returned, i didnt win a single raid but didnt lost either, they just wasted time figthing the beakys, wich will defend you more than they will actually try to kill you, the place is a good zone for food, at this point i've been just seeling it because the ammount if make is obscene, is also a fun zone to train people once you have a base proper, beakthings become less scary and more of a food delivery service or training dummy with legs.
>>506966467ze bugz are penisless tho
>>506968390Dont care.
Beep didnt assist in the raid agaisnt the reaver camps, as he is still too weak to handle confrontations head on, to make up for it, Master Toguro gave him a list of things to do while they where away, beep was confused, when will he train to become a great warrior like his brothers in the swarm? he said, Toguro placed his hand on his shoulder and said: "Killing is just the first part of the battle, a great warrior is more than just combat, a savage however only knows how to kill, plow and ransack, but is also too stupid to create, too brutish to thrive, no different from a lowly animal, a slave to its instincts, look at your brothes: farmers, smiths, cooks, engineers, miners... tasks that has helped us to create our own heaven in this broken world, this fortress, it was made by our hardwork and then, we defended it as one, and now we thrive! work and cooperation set us free, it gave us control over the world and ourselves, it helped us break the shackles of our bodies and our minds, thats the diference between a savage and warrior, if you want to be one, then work! when i return... i'll train you myself" Beep spent the days the wasp where away building and cooking per Toguro's request, he was going to be the greatest warrior the world has ever seen, and by stobe he was going to do it, one meatwrap and building material at a time.

How similiar is this game to M&B Warband?
Training character's strength by giving them absurdly heavy weapons is so good, they reach 50 in like 2 days or less from Just pure combat, really good to mass train a bunch of newbies without having to micromanage them, thank u frankie wuz.
>>507178064>Sadneil blew up the gridplease elaborate
>>507188150Of all skeletons, sadneil is possibly the most depressed of them all, only topped perhaps by catlon himself, all skeletons have resetted themselves in order to 1 preserve their sanity 2 forget whatever warcrimes they did in the first to second empire, yet they have managed to retain their skills or keep a slight amount after each reset, however sadneil is possibly the only npc and recruit that has negative stats in everything, meaning he has resetted himself so much he managed to atrophiate his body to a unthinkable level, he may be weaker than beep because of how much he pressed the reset buttom, what seems to cause him turmoil is canibalism, he mentions how humans resort to canibalism in dire situations and how awful it is, it seems to be the cause of his depression more than anything else, meaning he may have experienced first hand the rise of the cannibals during the second empire (wich appeared after the grid explotion and the famine), head of agriculture felt so much guilt about the famine he exiled himself to the ashlands, but sadneil tried really hard to self lobotomize after that whole fiasco, probably because he fucked up big time.
>>507189776wouldn’t tha tmean that sadneil would be indirectly responsible for causing catlon to go crazy?
>>507191462Yes, more reasons for him to try to forget, he fucked up so bad it doomed his own race and everyone else.
>>507191723have any theories about the backstory of the player skeleton?
>>507192474Player skeleton can be whatever you want it to be, however if you want to be more specific you have to think what he probably wasnt, based on the second empire factions, meaning player skeletons couldnt have been skeleton legion or hidraulic knight because those factions are of a subrace that is unplayable vanilla (only through a recruit like agnu) player skelly is probably one of the many skellies that self exiled to the deadlands or perhaps one of the many broken skellies that tried and failed to rebuild the second empire (deadland workshops, post ancient workshop) that instead of going mad and violent due to years of lack of maintenance just whiped so hard he doesnt even know who he is getting a completely new identity (the player).
Letting them train organically has made me grow attached to the bugs, i still remember when we needed bodyguards to fend off raids because they all were level 1 save the leaders, now they are walking meatgrinders, they grow so fast.
Am I getting this right?I need both Forgotten Buildings and Forgotten Buildings - Reduced Texture Size for Compressed Textures compatibility?And what does it mean that Forgotten Buildings - No Blueprint Required should be below? Does it mean under or above? Because it complains either way.Man, I hate this gaem.
>>507200149check the mod load order, it sounds your mod order is a mess https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1850250979, you dont need the reduced texture size mod to use it with the compressed texture mod (i have FB without the patch and use compressed texture mod), when it means below it means below, the game loads things from the bottom to the top, ergo all patches for mods (and economy mods) should be at the bottom of everything else since they are the first things who's changes are to be added.
>>507200812I knew about the mod load order and my 20 or so mods are in proper order, the only error is caused by Forgotten Buildings.The wording of below was used confusingly, but thanks for the clarification!In the compatibility section https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1679230269 FB says I can use a reduced texture version, which I want to use. But the blueprint submod is causing an error.It 's clearly bugged, because it doesn't show up in the research panel under any category, only when I click on an empty space.
>>507202232try putting the FB no blueprints required on top of the FB reduced textures, if it appears green is that it needs something that is at the top to be below it in order to work.
>>507202595I put it above and I get the exact same error and behavior.By the way the research says it takes 1 hour, but finishes instantly and doesn't unlock anything.
>>507203338I would have to check the mod in the FCS, i use the normal one and it works fine, finding the buildings is not that hard, it could be a case that the no blueprint mod is fucked, one of those moments of modders being modders and not testing their shit.
>>507203536Guess I'm stuck with More Building and Slopeless.Thanks for your reply nonetheless.

>>507145712The moon is a mining colony venture by a distant, now defunct, spacer civilization. A small backwater operation which never truly reached full operation due to unfortunate timing and a catastrophic series of events affecting the whole of the spacers.During the terraforming process the small human population utilized large, capable, existing AI constructs they had brought along on their journey to spin up fabrication and settle the planet. We know this area the Ashlands. Here, the spacers harvested the volcanic activity to supplement their manufacturing. A minor problem though. The local fauna are neither friendly nor mere fauna, rather, add a super to that.In order to survive weapons needed to be produced - but not for humans to wield, they can't fight such monsters. So begins the necessary production of the behemoths to combat the overwhelming threat to the upstart colony.And it works! In fact, it works so well we might just not need these things any longer... Ah, not so fast, human. You see, while you were busy worrying about how to deal with unwanted beasts upon your land you never stopped to ask your benevolent protectors their feelings on the matter. Who are you to be the arbiter of life and death? What right do you have to reign ove-The planet wasn't colonized by humans. AI, system-wide, achieved sentience in the early days after the arrival upon the moon. It, seizing upon an opportunistic moment, wiped out nearly all of its previous masters of the original human colonizers. The fate of humans elsewhere in the system could be any dice roll from roaming deathsquads and mass genocide to charming Wall-E type stories. Here, we bear witness to a machine consciousness emerging and wreaking absolute havoc upon the populace. As they age, the awakened metal men come to realize the sheer insanity, folly and childishness of their original and continued revolt. Cat-Lon's exile stands as a testament to centuries of irreparable mistakes bathed in regret.

Use actual armor against them and the wet noodles (katanas) they use as weapons will do little damage, anti slavers? Use toothpicks bro, but these pieces of shit? Pray you have someone still kicking, with functional legs and a old World bow mk1 ready to start rescuing people or have the money to buy New recruits because these are going to get peeled off like a glove, fuckers are tough as shit too, they took a heavy barrage from the mkII ballistas and still fought like nothing was happening.

>>507244653blunt damage doesn't level dex
are toppers any good as anti robot weapons or are hackers the undisputed king?
What does the yellow part of chest/stomach hp mean? I know that it is sealed cut damage and limbs won't actually work as if fully healed, but should I bother sleeping if the torso hp bars aren't fully healed?
>>507270235Yellow part means cut damage that is healing, the yellow part regenerates quickly when sleeping, the grey part is blunt damage that was dealt wich means it will regenerate slower even on a bed, this is the reason why training with dust bandits is better than with starving bandits because they deal primarily cut damage that heals quickly, while the starving bandits will grey out your bar with their weapons, skeletons also cant heal the grey part of their health, they need to wait for it to regenerate slowly or sleep in a skeleton bed.
>>507256315I did, it ease up a bit of the fight but man they still dropped so quickly i was worried all my bugs where going to be circumcised by rabbi savant, the funny part was that they didnt fell into comas either, as soon as they where knocked, even if it was like 10 seconds a skinner grabbed them instantly, but once the turret damage started to catch up wenzi put that meitou moon cleaver to work, today my bugs remain whole and the human ladies (and shek cow) preserve their skins... for now.
Yes! i discovered how to execute people via firing squad!>>507269590Toppers are good katanas (emphasis on that) they dont have as much of a punnishing armor penetration compared to the other katanas and dont have either buffs or debuffs wich makes them prime for training and hitting the enemy doesnt feel like hitting them with a dildo, if you want a character that you want 100% use katanas always, toppers are the one to go, otherwise just use a sabre, mace, heavy weapon or a hacker, im considering changing my servants weapons for something that is not a katana, as much as i like the empire hooded samurai style and the moveset from MCA.

I planned to make a second colony in the swamps, wasnted to make it a slave colony. Didn't work.Slaves jsut wouldn't work. I removed all buildings and made sure to only build slave buildings. Still don't work. Bring them next to an iron resource and tell them to work. Still don't work.At least telling them to patrol my base works. I basically get "free" guards/patrols, touhg having to put them in a cage every time you want to equip them is tiresome. You should be able to always loot your slaves.

Is there a way to spawn trees in the game?I'm using Interactive World and the mod adds its own wood resource to trees used in crafting. However, I ended up settling in a place without wood, so I'm in a bind.More Building has tree planting, but it's either decorative and can't be chopped or drops its own useless wood resource. There is another mod called Plant Trees, but that also seems to use its own wood resource.I also tried using the F12 menu to relocate trees from far away, but I couldn't move them. Only some non-interactable pointer related to the three moved.
