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
Mods for this feel?
>cannibal base attacks keep spawning from the oceanThat's a mildly troubling thought
>>542460472
>>542461127start with "bedsex". The (old) Viera mod comes with "bedsex" included AFAIK.>>542461562would be more fitting if they came from bogs, like true Bri'ish.
>>542460472Izumi is hot as fuck.
Is the bug with blunt damage converted from cut damage skipping lower layers still in the game?
>>542460472more rolling sheets>>542468640No idea, but Chris doesn't fix Kenshi, so probably it's still in the game.
Post screen shots >:^)>>542461127top lel
Any updates on kenshi 2? I'm guessing Chris is too busy sucking on BLM nigger cock to be coding kenshi 2 so it's dead... vaporware my dudes.
>>542468640I gave up on that and have just used the no cut efficiency mod for a long time now
>>542360010Reavers feel like a good but undercooked idea.>>542360450Superman...
playing UWE, does anyone know how to unlock armor smithing?
>>542474789I genuinely wonder if the politics of the game/writers will have shifted at all with how the UK has changed in the last ten years. If they serve up factions like the HN and Heroes League again then it's like they learned nothing, collective anglo cultural suicide
>>542474606That woman is killing her liver.>>542474789>BLMPlease don't remind me. Chris and Nat are retardedly normie-tier. I bet they both got many covid shots as well, without thinking about it for one nanosecond.>>542483332Never played it, gomen.>>542484267>collective anglo cultural suicideIf I could tell to any Bri'ish man in 1930s about the state of the future Bongstan - he'd never believe me. How the mighty have fallen.
Man kenshi can't push me to replay it hundreds of times like warband. I should probably reinstall it and start over again.
Is slavery under the reavers any different from anywhere else? Like do you actually get sent with war parties, or do you get to fight other slaves or something? The wiki page is vague. Their whole deal seems to be explicitly taking slaves for war which sounds like a really fun way to train but I assume you'd just be hitting a rock as usual because chris is a one-man bethsoft
Don't worry guys, some anon called me stupid and said Kenshi 2 is going to be his magnum opus, just seven more years bros!!! I have no idea why I waste a bump on you sadsacks.
>>542496805Could be fun when it works, they strip all gear, give you shackles and a uniform, then drag you around the map. I just glitched at HQ steps though, looping in and out of a cage. Never got it to work for RP or anything characters usually just KO/bleed out usually unless the reaver squad dies and you got healed at some point.>>542484267There should be more factions like the Heroes League in Kenshi. It mirrors rl nationalist cults. These groups are easy for ppl to fall into b/c they dress themselves in solidarity rhetoric, community defense, moral urgency, but they’re mainly built on exclusion & violence. In a world like Kenshi, cults like this should be everywhere. Just look at rl examples like Azov or Golden Dawn. Apocalyptic conditions should breed scumbag militant identity factions.
>>542460472Lol, I was just playing games and realized I haven't thought about A*las in 2 or 3 years. Has there been any faggotry on his part the last couple of years? Doesn't "he" STILL have mod tools Chris gave him and his cronies and no one else?This general is now Beep blessed.
>>542487290One year of hearing how libtarded him and his imouto are, you'd just hope "Oh, they won't fuck with their bread and butter. Kenshi is supposed to be raw so hopefully they don't fuck with it." This late in the game, ESPECIALLY with the race war heating up in Britain, there's no way they don't cuck and ruin Kenshi 2. I didn't even have that opinion until reading your post. I'll see what the promotional material is like close to release, but if I see screenshots of quests being added just to have dialogue about helping "Poor little misunderstood Shekniggers that commit 90% of the crime," I'm gonna have to boycott. Not even trying to start doomposting here. This late into clownworld any game dev that isn't throwing Nazi salutes are inviting the bloodshed we'll have to endure.
>>542503383Also, there's this gem I had saved.
>>542503383>this late into clownworldThis deep into clownworld, posting that kind of stuff isn’t just reckless, it’s a permanent stain on your digital footprint. Good luck getting a loan or passing a background check when your AI scraped & archived post history is tied to your mandatory biometric ID.
>>542503383Kenshi 2 releasing and being pozzed to hell just means we get to clutch 1 as our special lightning-in-a-bottle niche indie gem even harder. At the least it would serve to revive interest in modding the original for a while. Grind your Contrarian and Hipster skills, your Insight is calculated based on their combined score
>>542502924>This general is now Beep blessed.
I am tired living in society. Even playing games doesn't help.
>You guys shouldnt be so cynical jfc.Those who virtue signal endlessly & sanctimoniously? They’re usually unwilling to do anything beyond performative, feel-good social media posts. You’re not powerless, history proves it repeatedly. Even the most brutal regimes have easily collapsed, despite "expert" predictions saying otherwise. People resist, endure & win. Cynicism leads to paralysis. Propaganda exists to make you feel isolated & helpless. Look at the stuff bot accounts & propagandists on reddit & X are pushing, thats not the actions of a side that thinks its winning.
>>542461562>local fisherman moments before his death
>>542506253My reaction image is quiet hilarious you see. In it, YOU are meant to be the mindless beakthing and /based/ Kensher players are the cute and funny (cunny even) Beep claiming dominion and dominance atop the beakthing.>>542505151Things will never get that bad because clownworld will fall within the next ten years. It's untenable. Don't be a doomer. Every single nice thing in the modern world was made by White people treated nicely. As society gets uglier, the comforts the elitists have come to find natural will dry up. Shocking their ignorant selves.

>>542525780Fuck you, /indie/ scum, I VILL bump /keng/ every day!
BREAKING NEWS out of the great desert: Emperor Tengu's favor has turned against the Heroes League and their affiliates are being arrested en masse. Lord Mirage himself was killed during a riot at a stone camp last night - sold and quietly whisked out of town after what was initially supposed to be only a 20 hour sentence, turned in by "independent bounty hunters". They're calling it The night of long Nakinatas.But why? Mounting pressure from the western hive through the Trader's Guild has forced UC leadership to make a call, and as usual they're siding with the money. The message is clear: we are not important. We do not serve their plan any longer, so we've got to go. They hate us.
Kenshi has no fruits. None at all. Why does Chris hate the Kenshians so much?
Kinda wish the Heroes League had more character. No world states, takeovers of HQ, barely a unique uniform or gear. "Lord Mirage" is just bland, no character, i dont think he even has any lines or personality, but guy has tons of followers. He should actually be a charismatic monster. Shouldnt bloodraiders take over when mirage dies, or if cannibals or rebel fighters, sand ninjas. Theres alot of stuff in kenshi like this.
>>542530704>Kenshi has no fruitsKenshi does have green fruit. . .which is a vegetable. . .No enjoy your cactus & foodcubes peasant.
>>542531398They aren't just some HN 5th column with a tiny fort in the middle of the desert?
>>542531794>Heroes League "THEY TOOK 'ER JOBS!"
>>542534565>just learn to craft robotics bro
>>542535669Yeah lol, i remember when coal miners lost jobs they were met with a cold, dismissive "learn to code. . ." by journalists on Buzzfeed or Huffpost, then those journalists got laid off very soon after that. Now coding is compromised with ai.
>>542536270Karma is a mean woman.
I must get busy IRL. Do not let /keng/ die for the next 10 hours.
>>542524010I was fucking drunk and still am. This was the reaction image before I changed it.
they really phoned it on for those coastal UC towns, it's like I accidentally walked into an EA part of the map
>>542551684>EA part of the mapexplain please

>>542506253This kills the beep
>Getting the crab remedial round even though I throughly beat up BarnabusYou fucking crab niggers, next time I'm bringing the decent weapons out of storage.
>>542565949Gone to soon.
hot take but i really hope kenshi 2 has more quest type turn ins and more faction related events where you can change how the world factions look or work. Kenshi 1 already has bounties and reputations which are like a lite version of that but i want a sort of 'quest' like giving a faction 1k iron bars so they upgrade their armor factionwide or something
>>542558570it blatantly looks placeholder/'early access'it's as if the other great desert settlements had passes to make them look more interesting with props/varied layouts like the refugee partitions and unique interiors/important faction characters, then instead of having big harbors or coastal cities everything touching the water is a shitty little slave camp with nothing of value or interest whatsoever. In some of them you can just swim over the walls and leave. It feels very 'we'll do this bit later' because building desert cities is boring but then they never did, coastal settlements should be their main economic link to the southern UC what with all the bullshit between them inland
>>542591804Naruhodo.
>escape rebirth>swim wend all the way down to blister hill>cross the deadlands to the skimsands and then past tengu's vault to heft>wearing masterwork and specialist armor stolen from armor king, top of the line>gate samurai immediately identifies everyone as slaves and tries to arrest them anyway>all hiver so not even visibly slaves on any reasonable level since they don't have an equivalent like shek shaved horns or humans with cut hairI can accept the UC deeming other people's slaves still firmly slaves in their own hierarchy but come on how could they even tell
>>542618557>All hiverThis is the UC anon, come on. They knew, they can smell the slave on (you) with their samurai senses.
>>542618557Your dead slave eyes gave it away.
>>542588778One of my dream mods for kenshi is a system where after you ally with a faction you can start to dump the millions of cats you made producing cheap cactus rum into a faction you’ve allied with to upgrade their patrols/make them more frequent + rebuild ruined towns in their border + bankroll their invasion of far reaching lands. That would be hell to code in so many world states, but it would be so cool to finance a minor faction like the Yabuta Outlaws into a major political state that can compete with the HN or UC
>>542623749Maybe there could be quests to turn in certain numbers of armor to upgrade their patrols. Be a way to use your smiths outside of hawking heart protectors. Quests are a double edged sword, they can cause feelings of constraint, but going questless means you have to figure out what's interesting about settlements besides the shops.
>>542618557Chris can't code.
>>542627950That isn't a coding issue.
>>542628185When it comes to Kenshi - it's always Chris' fault for not learning how to code properly.
>>542624109>nobody needs help with ANYTHING>nobody has ANY tasks done for them>nobody needs ANY messages deliver>nobody needs ANY labor assistance, bodyguard & asset protection, targeted kidnappings and assassinations (disregard the bounty posters and factions which do this, they are NOT quests!!!)On and on. It's retarded and just because Chris said it doesn't mean it has any merit. The game should have local politics, local concerns, isolated events specific to characters and their relationships. Farmer's bulls escaped? Help wrangle them in. No, sorry, goes again the princi- Stupidity.
If you don't want to have proper quests what you need is random events that can happen while traveling or in towns. Few devs seem to realize this though.
Quest systems feel outdated imo, i do love Skyrim & probably played every single dungeon and questline in it. Thats a old game though, it just walks you through steps like “go here, to this pointer” “talk to guy, with pointer on head” “fetch item” that also has a pointer on it, “enter doorway.” Theres no thought in it, even puzzles are designed for toddlers & takes little to no thought to complete. Games used to experiment with new original mechanics, games on ps1 often were entirely original & very experimental. I’m hoping AI can push things forward NPCs with dynamic personalities that actually has some thinking capabilities, real time reactions & unscripted dialogue instead of canned lines. there should be amount of set stuff to create a story but dont you ever feel like games are kinda stale? They are just doing the same thing with improved graphics and a few additions.
>>542643410Well, what do you suggest to make towns be anything except a shop and recruit pickup hub that you only check once every game import?
How do you make a settlement with multiple defensive gates that doesn't make the AI spaz out when it comes to tossing people outside?
>>542643857>I agree, alot of ppl would just think its a nuisance probably, but base gameplay around, bounty hunting, trading, or crime/smuggling. & make each of these things actually fun/worth doing w their own legit separate systems.-City & Faction Systems• Multiple factions per city with dynamic influence.• District-based cities: slums, merchant quarters, ultra-wealthy zones.• Factions control specific districts (e.g. Shinobi Thieves run the slums, traders guild runs merchant district).• Players can fund factions to upgrade gear and expand influence.• Assassination/sabotage can shift faction ideology and power balance.- Functional Economies• Cities have defined industries: mining, farming, smuggling, metalwork like weapon and armour smithing etc.• Food, water, and crime systems tied to geography and trade.• Trade routes reflect supply chains (e.g. food from slave camps).• Disrupting routes (e.g. poisoning water, burning crops) causes starvation, unrest, or riots.- Fewer but Higher-Quality Cities• Larger, more detailed cities with fewer total settlements.• Realistic NPC behavior—less idle standing, more role diversity.• Hardware load acknowledged—depth prioritized over scale.- Black Swan Events (Systemic Disruptors)• Plagues: Spread through trade, water, or population density; impact labor, morale, and faction stability.• Famine: Triggered by crop failure, trade disruption, or raided supply lines.• Religious uprisings: Ideological shifts or cults destabilize cities or fracture factions.> i realize its easier said than done, but just giving a really in depth hq city with functional supply/demand economies could do alot on its own. Its hard to just justify doing a trader playthrough in kenshi as is rn. - I also kinda realized this is basically elite dangerous or something at this point, so much for being original i guess lol. Idk, id like kenshi to have some of these ideas atleast though.
>>542643857>Well, what do you suggest to make towns be anything except a shop and recruit pickup hub that you only check once every game import?If your talking for a DREAM system? Each town has a prosperity level, with the high levels means there are no destroyed buildings, extensive farms outside the wall with several armed patrols roaming near the city, and the shops have higher end goods at a higher price. The lower stage means the city turns into basically Mourn. The prosperity level would be changed by either world state changes OR the world would have list of events (sort of like base raids, but more spread out) that would effect random cities. There would be raids (which the player could help stop or help the raiders, if they want), supply shortages/surpluses (prices would be effected and the player could help make up the supply deficiency), political guests to certain cities (which could be kidnapped), ect.
>>542654569>i like those, especially the political guest thing.• Maybe food spoilage, you would have to have food storage and raw food wouldnt last long, could make pemmican etc./ thats already in Ark• Morale system, units might just run when they are overwhelmed/ppl are dying etc. Or desert if conditions arent good.• Age or just age slider, "teen/adult/boomer/elderly" not aging/dying of old age, but you could make unique characters with some handicaps for fun have each age have benefits & detriments. make elderly guy a cook or farmer or bar patron etc, give some more personality and make ppl more diverse. Then when eyegore kills some ppl its extra sad• wound festering/infection & disinfectant, adds extra layer to survival, more rp opportunities.
I unashamedly use RI am an Rtard. say it loud and proud if you're part of the team
>>542653071Other than keeping it permanently closed or doing something that defeats the purpose of a gate (like fencing off the area around it), I have no idea.
>>542664269There is objectively nothing wrong with R-tethering to kite enemies.
>>542666107I enjoy how the game feels like a tug-and-pull of unfair scenarios collapsing onto the player while they desperately exploit whatever they can to survive, from pulling enemy groups into each other to stealing beak thing eggs and scrambling up to a cityr-tarding is darwinism and reinforces the main themes of the game because it gives you a fighting chance
I may be going overboard here but base building is fun.
>>542672524I recall there is a mod on buildable trees on the Gabenshop.
>>542672524How does this actually perform gameplay wise? Do they hang on buildings and shit or is it fluid?
el bip
>>542503558>>542487290Doesn't this fill you with the need to create?
love how lax the item transfer range is in player towns/buildings, you can transfer everything in your base right to one dude standing next to a merchant while paused
>>542687123I have a pretty beefy PC Kenshi runs well enough, even with fast zone hopping most of the time.
Burdened martial arts vs. long distance rock hauling, which trains strength faster?
>>542705684Burdened fighting means having to find fights and rest in between them, honestly just get a weightlifting mod if you're going out of your way to train.
>>542705684If you exploit it by doing weird shit (turning skeletons into nugget punching bags, gorillas in beds, etc), martial arts. If you're actually going around looking for fights, rocks. Just assigning someone a job that moves a lot also has the benefit of being significantly lower maintenance (none really), but martial arts is also leveling up your other stats as well.
>>542705684Honestly as someone who ruined my first playthrough by overtraining, strength training is necessary but try to keep everything else to normal progression only.
Sure is quiet on /keng/ right now
I hate time-gated content so much.
>>542742863What's time gated
Really hate how some boulders just disappear when you build near them, sometimes they show back up but it seems random. And I built my walls taking the boulders into account, then the fucking thing vanishes and my defenses have a hole (and the section looks less cool).
>>542750743c'est la vie
>>542746363one or more of the posters in keng is a gachaslug and cannot help but bleed it into his pity bumps
>The boulders are back on a random section of the cliff I'd already built on>The boulder on the gate is still goneThanks chris.
>>542758279Sounds like you would benefit from a placeable boulder mod. Easy to make btw
>>542758279I had this happen with a bunch of plants clipping through my base, they kept showing up again even after using foliage removal every reboot. It annoyed me so badly (along with learning for the first time why not to build ANYWHERE near water) that I just ditched the run and essentially started it over
>>542746363it's when War Thunder makes an amazing Dune inspired map, and the entire player base is having a fuckload of fun, but since it's "le April 1st" event it has to be shelved - forever - and now the playerbase wants it back. But the devs won't give it back because they are assholes.>>542756107shut up and bump /keng/ when I am punishing the German mains for being blind cretins.
>go out to collect gutterhead's bounty>there's an ex-outlaw farmer slave limping along away from the city in chains>take pity on a fellow hiver and the soldier breaks the shackles apart with his hands>apparently heroes league had been following us out of town and suddenly shows up yelling about whooping our assesstory generated
>>542765849This should happen more often.
>>542653071...Just kill them, have corpse incinerators as well as one guy doing corpse disposal and be done with it. >>542653243So a much more defined version of Kenshi. It can happen but the tricky part is to keep it from overdoing it. Like what living world did in expanding the fuck out of cities.
>>542769432Lucky for me this time, somehow my AI is working despite having 3 gates. They always pick the farthest gate possible to toss em out but it works. Besides this settlement gets no merchants so I don't have the problem of them picking the wrong door to hawk there wares at. My first megabase in Shem was a complete mess though, haulers would pick up corpses by the outer gates and toss them right in the middle area where the inner gates were, apparently recognizing the entire inner section as outside.
>>542653243> I also kinda realized this is basically elite dangerous or somethingI never played elite dangerous but like these ideas and hate this argument against doing stuff because it might rip something else off. The best stuff that ever existed stole from something else that was good while providing something fresh, if they need to use another game as a design document to figure out how a city works then so be it
>it may not be worth much... but you have my loyalty until the day I diewe've got a leather tanning bench with your new name on it back in town buddy
>>542772578>Elite Dangerous is greatAdmittedly haven’t played much lately though. Every system has stations & multiple factions, usually including at least one crime faction. You can take jobs for them to raise their influence by smuggling or killing ppl etc & by week’s end, that often triggers a war all over the system. You can then join the war & turn in bounties, doing this can push the crime faction to the top/eventually anyway, which can flip the system into an usually anarchy state for criminal organization but theres other system states, pros and cons included. You can do this via trade etc too, theres a empire and federation and some military & pirate factions. Its a good system & really well thought out.> I think ppl have good ideas but alot of devs are hesitant to try new things & risk a game flopping. This is also why so many devs are vulnerable to like sweetbaby inc or dei initiatives. Which im not entirely against in principle if its done well etc.
>>542772578>argument against doing stuff because it might rip something else offThis is, amongst many mistakes, one of the biggest the developers over at Pearl Abyss (BDO) made. They had a captive audience, a niche combat system and instead of embracing workable engagement systems from other MMOs they went the way of being unique for the sake thereof, causing many sureshot additions to devolve into false starts, cut content and missing fundamentals because they can't get the roundabout take "just right". This combined with the capitulation to shareholder & market demands means the only people being served by the current game state are those who swipe to keep the company going. The game itself is vapid and lacks any compelling systems because the late game has been relegated to a copium drip. Much like how Kenshi ends about 20-30 hours in, but you can keep playing for thousands, and it will be upon you to find the fun thereafter.
Why can't skeletons wear shirts? Not a dad joke, just an honest question
>>542786646They could, but the way they’re implemented, they’re not actual meshes, just texture overlays. Opening the shirt slot on skeletons shows a stretched chainmail texture across the body and face. Regular skeletons don’t have separate face textures, faces are baked into the body texture. There was a Steam mod that fixed that and gave face variations, but I can’t find it now.
>finally through painstaking research I've discovered a way to fight back against this awful disease, the key to saving my people>truvada
>>542788420>but I can’t find it now.I tried to warn you. The Steam Workshop (and Nexus, it has its own issues) is not a reliable way of archiving mods. Because modders retain the ability to take down work, which they do for numerous reasons, useful and worthwhile mods disappear over time. The only stopgap we have available at the moment is local storage by migrating workshop mods to your actual game directory.Blog over - back up your mod list because it's ever in flux when tied to the workshop.

>>542819796You have my attention
>>542819192Is it a particularly large base where you don't have people covering all of it? I find weird shit will sometimes happen if part of the area isn't loaded
>>542820861No, it's actually the most compact base I've built. But the area wasn't loaded so I guess weird shit happened. Also in my Stobe's base, I can't prove it but I think beak things snuck into my prison and killed several of the imprisoned crab raiders, killing two and maiming the rest.

>>542877435Best I can do for you is no unique dialogue package or no dialog at all for over half of them.
>>542877435Who else even comes close? Pia seems to have a lot, but I can't think of any that have something like special dialogue options for another unique character like Beep and Agnu
>>542877435how about generic shek dialogue
>>542869120https://i.4cdn.org/pol/1760625799458972.jpg
>>542877435Luquin, Crumblejon, Bard, Maybe Griffin has unique dialogue still isnt much. Lumi is just a crab radar, idk how useful that is though.
Lumi bitches about having to fight every time she gets beat up, and Hamut has special dialog with her where he promises he won't let her get enslaved again. Hamut himself asks you if he can attack any slavers he sees. Bard has a lot of dialogue but he sings Harmxertoe way too much.
>>542888346Not Lumi, Miu. She's also a spider radar which is pretty nice sometimes.
>>542890589wew, I wrote more lines of text for the rabbit women for the modder, by compatison. The Nat's "99% of dialogues" contribution to her onii-chan looks very small.
hi guys I need help with tia lhe Lost Media launcher for Minecraft. It's a Russian multiplayer launcher with mods. It was called mcborax. Help me find its creator. I've only been able to find a screenshot of the launcher from 2016-17.
>>542651327>no rideables ingame____ ___'_ ____
>>542892487Are you one of those people who endlessly whines because Fallout doesn't have cars anymore
>>542819796Big things happening in the kenshi modding community….
>>542892182>Lost Media launcher for MinecraftHey drifter, this is /keng/>>542892850I would the Tesla-Bots, but they gotta have optional thickness for everyone - from stick-fuckers to lard-riders.
>>542892604Are you one of those people who thinks game developers, especially the most modern variant, are infallible and make no mistakes? I'm sure you always get your money's worth because you live on your knees.
>>542896268"The feature I want isn't in" is not always a mistake, and often solid proof that games can't design for shit.
>>542896649Chris scrapped Kenshi 1 because he couldn't make boats work. So, whatever dude.
>>542897238>Scrapped?It's outI played it.
>>542893323>I would the Tesla-Bots, but they gotta have optional thickness for everyone - from stick-fuckers to lard-riders.This, but the slider should start on the lard-rider setting and go even further
>>542897375Disingenuous semantics, as usual. Why did development on the first game halt?
>>542901902Because live service is a bullshit modern corpo invention that's poisoned the expectations of a generation.
>>542902932Nothing to do with live service. Again, you just cannot stop shifting the goal posts. The correct answer is features which were unable to be implemented, such as boats and mounts, were chalked up as the primary drivers of an engine swap. This and performance which of course Unreal is notoriously not an ideal choice for. You want it to be one way, but it's the other way.
>>542903132I don't care which way you think it is, the idea that a game that is out and finished is "scrapped" because the devs are working on the sequel with more features is pure LS driven brainrot.
>with more featureslol. lmao, even.
>>542903132Weren't there a community poll on what to do with Kenshi? Think people wanted Chris to move on and work on the sequel
>>542906721The poll had maybe 1500 votes (in a community hundreds of thousands, eventually passing into the millions), was framed as>ughhhhhhhhhhh we'll work on Kenshi 1 if you REALLY NEED US TO, but ughhhhhhhhhhh we REALLY don't want to>or>BRAND NEW SHINY AMAZING INCREDIBLE NEW PERFECT 4K ULTRAHD EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED, THE SKY IS JUST THE BEGINNING!!!!Yeah, they chose new and shiny. Seven years later, nothing to show for it. By the way, we've passed the originally estimated timescale of six years to move Kenshi 1 to Unreal. It's all nonsense and damage control. Second game was a mistake, especially announced early, should've spent time in quiet development. Instead, you deal with my critiques. Cry about it.
>>542909003It happens.
>>542909003I can understand the appeal of taking a step away from focusing on the jank that comes from the engine that would probably never go away. Ultimately that's a choice that trades something for nothing until the second game shows any signs of life though.
>>542918259Believe me when I say nobody has to (or should be expected to) spend a lifetime managing a single property. I suppose my gripe boils down to not particularly wanting a Kenshi 2. That wasn't an option because it came loaded with the notion Kenshi 1 had to be worked on. Could've written a book or two, perhaps started a series of short stories or expand the cinematic universe through video productions. Plenty of people have pitched for a TTRPG speaking to the whole Settlers of Catan connection. And why not something else? It's presented as this inevitability that Kenshi 2 had to begin production and the community demanded as much. Rather, they were already experimenting with Unreal and simply wanted the blessing to go ahead with plans in motion. It's alright, just a real letdown knowing everything has been pushed aside for what is obviously a decade or more of development slotted in with this singular decision. Not six or seven years, 10 to 12, maybe.Side note:>comes from the engine that would probably never go away.That is what Unity, Unreal and Godot, etc, present. Rigid ecosystems which have hardline limitations you cannot affect for. A wholly bespoke in-house engine doesn't face that dilemma. Instead if faces keeping up with industry standards being hoisted upon the internal team, not an externally contracted entity. Fine and well but again look around at what opting for Unreal has done to high profile IPs. Some good, some bad, we'll see.
If there's one thing actually worth giving the devs shit for is they never released decent modtools.
>>542672524kino, feels like a place that's actually lived on, just missing some tents/storage boxes outside and some rooftop decorations

I see youtubers tell me that you can train combat skills by healing a beak thing and entrapping it in a bed, but every attempt at this has the beak thing dying despite actively healing wounds above -30
>>542960409Honestly it's just not worth it. Everything but strength can be leveled reasonably well by playing the game normally, maybe using some equipment to lower your stats later. Your guys will get strong before you know it, don't skip the journey for the destination.

It sucks in here.
Internal "discussion" on the future of the company has ended. The Laissez-faire nature of their workflow is no more. Chris has formed a coup by taking control of the company finances and is holding the rest of Lo-Fi Games at his behest with financial blackmail. He is drunkenly steering the ship off a razor's edge and steering development towards whatever arbitrary feature he thinks of that day with near-psychotic tunnel vision.These things I'm saying -- not many people are saying them. Years worth of Steam revenue are being poured into funding widespread takedowns on various sites, including this one. To keep costs down on this battle on information, Chris has forced Nat and Sam to work out of pocket for at least a month filing legal notices, some of them false. The sites don't care to know the difference. The rest of their workers are temp contractors and were never even put on payroll, exploiting community passion for labor. This includes time spent working on the game and all development-related expenses.To keep control firmly in his hand, Chris has sought allies. Nat has been given a full-time position 'supervising' the contractors, making her feel more integral and less likely to jump ship or seize the reins herself. Blood is thicker than water, and the nepotism has never been more clear before now.I can confirm accusations of verbal and physical abuse by Nat down the totem pole; their employees are either obedient to a fault or too scared to say anything. There's no wiggle room for error on their part anymore and tensions are high. The situation is a taut rope that could snap at any moment, and you'll want to be around for the fireworks when it does. Keep your eyes and ears open in the coming days and prepare to quickly archive any new content on the youtube, X, facebook and reddit feeds. You'll see why.

Kenshi is a psychological experiment scenario descended from the twisted minds of the Anglo elite. People have joked about Mr. Beast style competitions to survive in the future dystopia of the wealthy and their macabre designs. Skeletons, being the result of autonomous AI systems, are deployed to act as watchdogs and guardians of the psychotic survival games. Eyes on the ground for the mass human sacrifice to keep the upper crust entertained. Imagine, if you will, having a bubble placed over Australia and deploying a robot army to clear out the bulk of human & large fauna life. Re-seed the population, slowly, and ensure nobody is ever allowed to build a boat again. The Truman Show but everyone's starving or bleeding out. Chris isn't a real person. Worked a security job for years and quietly comes up with this simulated sickness? Sure thing. Whatever you say. Reeks of military intelligence.
>>542982743
>>542973459hahahaha! oh phuckins! RIP kenshi 2, we never knew you...

how are you guys even taking screenshots in-game...sharex refuses to work for some reason

>>542996691I don't... have that...
>>542996782I would take a picture of my keyboard, but it's old and dusty. AFAIK all keyboards have such button.
>>542996782on a modern os you can just search screenshot from the start menu and it'll have options for 'take screenshot in 5/3 seconds' etc and you can tab back into the game to do itf7 to toggle the UI if desired, put your mouse in a corner (a little pixel showing doesn't really matter, nobody is going to use them as wallpapers or anything)alternatively you can download lightshot or some other newer equivalent, alt-alternatively you can go in steam options and toggle saving a local hard copy of screenshots if it isn't already on, then go to where they're locally saved and use that
>>542996782Basically every keyboard has a variation of it.
any good underwear mod? i'm thinking about kawaiiclothes but i don't know if it'll fuck up my compats>>542996782try impr pant petsis, or just pressing F12 if you're playing on steam, i think pressing f12 makes your screenshots look like shit tho, depends on resolution methinks
The transmission of the fogmen's parasite is kept pretty vague... here's my idea:>fogmen transmit their parasite to captured hivers with bites until they die, changing them to fogmen themselves (deleted and fogman of corresponding race spawned in place on pole) and executing others while worshiping the prince executing non-hivers ritualistically (or maybe they all beat them to death with sticks in a frenzy like the cult village)As far as I'm concerned this would be canon behavior if the game was finished or if they could have figured out how to get it working, like how aren't they all died out by now? They're gone permanently when you clear the deadhives caused by collapsing the western/southern hives, so they have to be coming from new captives in the foglands. Vain is right there, so they've got a steady stream of exiles bouncing off the HN and Shek/Swamp/Spiders right to them.That or the fog itself turns hivers into fogmen, as the fog mask directly states "negative effects". Turning a player hiver into a fogman with weather effects is a lot more likely to be in the 'couldn't figure out how to get it working' department. Honestly, there should be more acknowledgement of how the hivers are a nuke waiting to happen with their volatile susceptibility to a terrible disease... not even the heroes league mentions it, so maybe it's not well-known. I'd expect them to be top of the list including 'diseased' among their insults. I bet if the HN knew more about the fogmen (or cared to) they'd have all hivers on the kill list with skeletons. All it takes is one of multiple queens dying and you've got zombies.
>go to Tora the gutless as Ruka>She acts like I still have my horns and attackShit game
>>543010609Dark skinned shek just look better. Good contrast with heir horn bits.
>>543010609having Torah the gutless go "oh! you're just like me :)" and join your party would give you a mid stat character simply for having ruka, who is free... at least you have to pay for kangshe is also a violent bandit who has led other violent bandits to kill others, so she would be unlikely to give up her thus-far successful vendetta to haul iron around or whatever you'd have her doingthe bounties you can recruit make sense like the more reasonable guys sitting in tengu's vault, but I don't see her taking pity even on someone she can relate to - even then you could prybar it, does recruitable prisoners not work? I find it too cheesy but you could use that and only take her and a handful of her minions before it collapses, in this case it makes a lot of sense she'd join ruka after losing to her anyway and having her own gang fall apart
Hatemonger mod when? Hatemarch on Kenshi when?
I've started giving my enemies cheap robot limbs so they can limp away instead of hanging around legless by my gate.
>>543014531How kind of you. Someone else would turn those enemies into dog food.
Esata and her daughter are nothing but human loving traitors... The west has fallen, flying bull was right...
>>543007261>parasite theoryBased off a recent statement from one of the knowers... there's a chance the parasite will be relegated to heresay and an outsider assumption of what's happening to the Fogmen.I land on the second option, i.e.: >That or the fog itself turns hivers into fogmenThough this is not so straightforward as the statement implies. Rather, there are multiple classifications of Hivers we can find in and out of the Fog. Those being:>Western Hivers, connected to the Queen's pheromone network, never willingly entering the Islands themselves -- (they do however encourage adventurers to enter and explore)>Mongrel-aligned Hivers, all of which can be presumed to be exiles, whether considering for Beep or the Hivers in the town guard, none are a part of the West>Player-aligned Hivers, who are also exiles as a matter of course, therefore in a similar situation to those of the Mongrel-aligned Hivers>Lastly, the Fogmen, who have no clear origin, are endless in number, and are primarily restricted to the Fog at the game startWhat I believe is going on is something that the West encountered and has "taken advantage" of over time. That being, when a Hiver with functional pheromone receptors enters the fog, they are forcibly disconnected from the pheromone network, thereby emulating the physiological response to a Queen's death. This emergency response and the inhibition of the receptors doesn't occur in exiles who have seen that aspect of their biology deactivated / rendered inert, such that they do not succumb to the feralizing effects exposure to the Fog has upon loyalists. Which in turn means the Western Hive is the true source of the Fogmen, caused by the Queen purposefully sacrificing healthy Hivers to the Fog. Why? Proxy war with the Okranites.
>>543023519>Based off a recent statement from one of the knowersQRD?
>>543024861Nothing serious. Shidan, who is a long time volunteer Steam moderator, occasionally gets bits and pieces of info leaks. He suggested recently that the parasite lines should be seen as "old lore" and an early inclusion in what was an unsettled aspect of the world - the origin of the Fogmen.
>>543025761lol they're totally going cross-species for zombies and retconning it
>>543026220Doubt it'll be cross species zombies. Unless they wanna give a singular explanation for fogmen and cannibals, but seems pointless.
>>543023519My headcannon is the the fogmen, shrieking bandits, and the cannibal are all caused by a dangerous excretions from the trees in the shrieking forest, which slowly degenerate genetics with prolonged exposure. Cannibals are the result of prolonged human exposure (who then migrated out of the forest) the shrieking bandits are first generation victims and fogmen are the genetic deterioration of hivers. I guess you could even blame it on the berserker plains too, but the face the berserkers are down in the shek kingdom makes that a stretch.My in-game source? The Shrieking Forest has an orange smog over it and I saw that once when I had bad allergies, and I haven’t trusted it ever since.
>>543026895The region provides ample reason to believe the ground, plant life and potentially air is contaminated. Most of the denizens of the northwestern regions have gone feral in some regard. Be it the red trees of the Cannibal Plains, the crazy overgrowth in the Shrieking Forest, the lagoon of industrial waste in the Floodlands, the actual lake of metal in Obedience and the possibly toxic fog in the Islands to the south. And who knows what was happening in the northern labs - since they may be connected to the devolution of humanoids we're seeing. The whole damn area is a shitshow almost worse than the Ashlands.
>>542502924he still helps to make some mods (i guess the same goes for boron and his possie at the discord server) but every time i get a ping from his server it's some kind of third party shill that nobody cares about, only reason i'm still there is if i ever need the modding resources for making something of my own

>>543116954In an expanded world, encountering elements of what comprises Oddworld (yeah, minus the magic) wouldn't be too hard to recontextualize to Kenshi. Something between a fishman and skeleton prosthetic enthusiast / body modifier. They could be mocked up as people who used to wander largely unbreathable environments so the masks were made to keep what they couldn't replace (their lungs) with an external rebreather.
>>543116954No but honestly I agree with chris' vision in this case. The most I'd accept is primitive rifles, but only if you allow high defensive skill to be able to deflect bullets and arrows. Guns wreck sword stories, and if the AI wasn't retarded crossbows already would.
Why do we still play kenshi in 2025?
>>543120025Because I didn't play it in 2024 or earlier.
>>543120025Play? Not really. I just mod and make resources for doing.
>>543120025because we're all too mediocre to make our own kenshi 2 with blackjack and hookers, a dude was making a kenshi like but it looks like it got stuck in dev. hell (did you guys know that making games is kinda hard)

Is kenshi a game for losers? I only fuck Asian girls so I probably qualify as a loser.
>>543121849Anon if you're having sex you can't be considered a loser.
>>543121849I don't believe you. What was the last phrase said by the last Asian girl's mother at you?
>>543116954I love the stranger and paramites models, their amazing. I used that one of my last playthroughs. The older models are okay, but some animations look wierd. I wish it was still being worked on.
>>543121849Only winners here bud.
>>543121430>Can't they just be isekai'd?Sure. I was trying to roughly fit the character traits and mold the oddness into swordpunk. Much like the Star Wars mod (or any other franchise) you can dump basically any sci-fi faction into the sandbox.

If these fuckers showed up on Kenshi - what would they do with the moon?
>>543129183Being quite frank we don't know much about the second game. We've had seven years to sit around and speculate. There's nothing there to nitpick and whine about in a tangible sense, it's just a pile of promises and some official media.

Man I really love how this mask looks on skeletons. It's taken a lot of willpower not to just put it on every skeleton on my faction.
>>543130951final footnote before devolving this into oddkeng central, i love how they managed to make molluks look so human in their expressions while keeping them as obviously aliens, it's all in the wrinkled skin, frown and unamused lips, really sold the whole ''corporate overlord cartel'' vibe

What do you do with your old bases when you start up new ones?
>>543153909whats the changes? I've come across some of these on really popular mods. i might kno
>>542460472How feasible would it be to make my player town into a mod that spawns in all my future playthroughs as an NPC town. The NPCs of course being my old player characters?
>>543155532I don't know about the NPC population part, but but as I understand it adding your town as a mod is reasonably simple.
>>543147384Nat's allergic to cats.
>>543155532Its not hard, pretty easy.- Create mod file in fcs with unique name- in game on your current save, press "shift + f12" & save the town with the unique mod name you created.- Go to plastic surgeon and export your characters sliders "bod2" file and move a copy of them from the "data/character/bodies" folder into your new mod with the town- create all the residents in fcs with the .bod files in your new mod folder selected with the stats they had in the last game. make them the residents. Look at a vanilla town to figure out how it works.- Maybe make them possibly recruitable if you want, use in game dialogue examples for how to do that.
Would be cool if one could save a town's "blueprints" as a mod, so they'd be designated to be built, but you'd still need the materials to do it.
What are the most essential mods?
>>543132263they simply sent their concept artist to a JP Morgan Chase branch and had him sketch out management
>>543161875Enhanced Vanilla armor, slopeless and better storage, for me. Also, Nice Map.
Why do the UC women keep writing weird books about "milking" the shek males?
>>543166987Because the ones in the Holy Nation aren't allowed to read.
>>543166987>>543167758if i start seeing blacked edits with shek symbolism istg
I do play with larger spawns and population but these fuckers right here are like fogmenNear constant stream of them hanging around my base, I'm in permacombat because they never retreat, they just get their grasses kicked, then as soon as they recover they attack again, until they lose a leg or die. And before all of them are dead a new squad of them will probably walk in. Amazing place to train basic combat skills though.
>>543168306I am here since around december of 2018 or January of 2019 - I have yet to see one of those usual creatures that plagues popular generals. I did see, ironically enough, someone that tried to project himself of being a shek male that loses his females to the Holy Men - full on racial self-hatred and whatnot. /keng/ is a magical place in this regards.
>>543160167Aight thanks man. This will suit my autism pretty well.

>>543161875256 Recruitment Limit if you like recruiting lots of characters.Performance mods depending on what specs got. Compressed Textures Project, Clean and Speed, Less clutter, and Fastr are some good ones.If you are adding mods for more unique races and for more animations, then you need the MEGA All-In-One Compatibility Pack. This is a great mod packed with compatibility patches for many mods, and it's regularly updated.Lot of people hate the vanilla UI, so you might want Dark UI or Clean Grey UI.Copper Ore Drills, just something that should be vanilla.That's about it for what's really essential.
>>543161875Check the list
Someone give me a playthrough idea. I started with the 5 nobodies yesterday and already have 20,000 cats and everyone equipped with basic gear. Now I'm bored. I'm thinking about doing a solo thief/nomad run. The problem though is that I feel like I've done everything in this game
>>543185401Sounds like you need to take a deep dive in the workshop for mods.
>>543185878I already do mod quite a bit. The problem for me is that the only fun parts of the game are struggling and breaking out of jails. I've done base building, I've done boss capture/killing, I've destroyed HN and UC before on different playthroughs, I've built a literal army before of 100 dudes and fucked up the entire map, and the only thing stopping me from a thief playthrough is that it is piss easy to be a thief in Kenshi. You can go from being in HN jail to 100,000 cats in about two hours.
>>543185401- Exiled solo shek warrior, recruit a crossbow person and complete game with those two- Crab Raider start, i did this and it was fun, start at crab village, set out for UC with a pack crab, recruit lumi.- swamp playthrough, head to swamps, recruit green and stubs and two scorchlanders and do the gang stuff with the hounds & base.- project kathun
>>543147716don't build a base until you have atleast 20 strong dudes, and even then don't settle down unless you can hire mercenaries to stay at your outpostalso buy a tech hunter map and go to whatever direction it reveals on your map
So quiet.

I over-salted soup. It isn't the first time I cook with my brain turned off. I should stop doing that.
>>543241759can't over salt a dustwich
>>543243317You reminded me that there is no salt industry on Kenshi. Chris has a retarded obsession with "no spices allowed". He is truly Bri'ish.
>>543253640Awful.
I miss the old posters. They were fun. They loved fun. They posted their adventures. I hope they are okay.
Races tiered by what they say about you
*favorite races
>battle 1: 0\3 k\d on three vehicles>battle 2: 10\0 k\d, on the same vehiclesKenshi x War Thunder collab when?
tierlist makers are the biggest faggots of all.
>Animal shit all over the island>Kenshians don't pick it for their farming needs, as peasants did historicallyChris could have excused the animal shit he placed all over the island in such simple and logical way, but he chose to just leave it as is. He must be a zoocoprofag.
>>543268001Who says they don't?
>>543268161given how shitty everywhere looks - it doesn't look like they know about farming much.
>>543273379>Where do shek even get their food supply?They dont grow crops, neither do hivers. Theres traders guild caravans in the hive and shek areas, so maybe them??So they all get their food supplies from the United Cities or the swamps which are slavery dependent? Nomads atleast have livestock milk realistically.
>>543273379Most places have farms though, the shek are retarded so they just tax smarter races for food.
>>543275437>the shek are retarded so they just tax smarter races for food.I mean they are kind of retarded but they don't farm because it's a loser thing to do in their culture, not because they're literally too stupid to.
>>543278015>not because they're literally too stupid to.Farming isn't as simple as heating a pre-cooked dish in a microwave oven. Merely tossing seeds on ground won't work. And given how the shek are too dense to learn from their mistakes...
>>543282673Dense skulls turn blades, flatskin.
>>543265676good bait, where is torso-only man at?
I like Kenshi. Any "build" works. In comparison with those retarded gachas, made for numbers-obsessed nerds who can't get a stiffie unless their team is fully meta - hence the gacha devs rotate the whole characters' creation process around those math obsessed imbeciles. Thanks, Chris. Your shitty, unfinished, buggy mess of a game has some positive moments sometimes.
hivers > skeletons > humans > shekhivers are custom built for the planet and are interesting with their lore, I like using them and they fit perfectly into the gamehumans are white bread but there's the donut OC flavor and it's cool leaning into their purity supremacist angle with all the other races around, they fill out the world wellskeletons are OP in gameplay and serve as a lore bottleneck but I don't like using them too much because they feel more like machines than people, usually just one in the squad to spit out expositionshek are shit tier orcs and I find them annoying to use and talk to>hrpmh hrpmh hrpmh. meet me outside town. give me one thousand meatwraps. what is this 'joy' you speak of? hrmph.
>>543292960I meant to post this image, I haven't had dinner yet so my mind is psychically clouded
>>543275437Theres no farming in the entire borderzone or shek areas? I guess borderzone crops would just get raided by dust bandits, shek or ninjas etc though. HN cities rely on 4 small farms but are largely cut off from traders guild and UC, also have varmints/river raptors to deal with.>>543278015I think some of lower class shek could be farmers, they atleast have traders guild & hive caravans though. From dialogue, alot of shek are almost servant level class i think.>>543282673Idk, i disagree with this respectfully. Farming isnt that difficult, but requires nutrient rich soil & water, something the borderzone and shek areas might lack, theres also probably realistically pests and disease/blight to think about that are realistic obstacles irl, why we have so many gmos in the real world. Swamps are nearby but they mostly just grow hemp/produce hash? Theres good desert crops irl, but kenshi kinda lacks crop diversity other than cactus, but meh
>>543294738>Theres no farming in the entire borderzone or shek areasShek don't farm, and what else is in the borderzone? Bandits, Nomads and the independent ninjas that rely on raiding.
>>543294738>Theres good desert crops irl, but kenshi kinda lacks crop diversity other than cactus, but mehLess is sometimes more, there's mode than enough crops to serve as an abstraction for farming, same reason nobody needs to drink water, it's just understood to be part of food rations.
>>543294738>Farming isnt that difficultTell it to several African countries, city boy. The sheks would sooner rediscover nuclear fusion than farming.
>>543295614Fun fact : I once started a mod that added a man-eating slaver shek faction in Skinner's roam with slaver raids in some other parts of the world, but got bored when I realised I couldn't make the slaving part work like I wanted to. Basically, the slaves would work the field and get eaten once in a while. Their leader would have been a Shek supremacist with the IQ of a wild bull
>>543297350There is nothing fun about the fact that Chris' incompetence stopped you from making a mod you wanted.
Chris' incompetence is the reason I didn't draw this morning like I said I would.
>>543295614>>Tell it to several African countries, city boyit’s terrain-dependent, theres soil degradation and lack of water. Muammar Gaddafi promoted "the great man made river project" in libya that is almost complete. Theres alot of solutions, but historically, African regions have supported massive crop diversity, millet, sorghum, cassava, yams, coffee, cocoa, bananas, palm, and more. I think rn the africa problem is more linked to philanthrocapitalism/corporate control via industrial mining & similar bs, power conflicts & industrial farming, many countries are encouraged to replace native crops with commodity staples like corn and onions rather than the stuff they have been growing for hundreds/thousands of years, which also happened in indonesia. >rediscover nuclear fusion than farming.Self-sufficiency in food and water was a pillar of freedom, the shek should want that. Your right though, they wouldnt do anything like that. "lets go try to kill bugmaster alone with no armour and a giant overized sword we cant even swing properly." "ooga booga, flatskins"
chris is the reason my back sore is weeping into my pillow. why does he let it happen
>>543300228Tell that to the africans that inherited the farms expropriated from white farmowners and chopped down the fruit trees for firewood.
>>543301059reminds me when farmers were looking for good kindling and came across a ancient tomb, then decided to slowly over time burn several ancient irreplaceable books & scrolls etc.
>>543301059>>543301575Haiti would be a great example too. First they killed "da witey" (their unfortunate victims were the F*ench, but still!), then the creatures on Haiti started killing mulatos - their own brothers and sisters - and now Haiti looks like Borderzone - they don't even have trees left. Almost 12 millions of people live like in Africa. Meanwhile their neighbors on the same island decided to... not kill the Europeans after going rogue from the European powers. The difference between the two halves of the island is night and day.Perhaps Catlon thinks that all humans are like creatures from Haiti. Explains why Catlon went into hiding in the toxic south-east of Kenshi.
>>543301185I doubt there will be any UK in 2030+>>543300338He does it because you refuse to buy Kenshi shirts.>>543298648Happens with the best of us.>>543295376>it's just understood to be part of food rations.Not to worry, the modders added drinkable water and booze.>>543293173Lack of sleep can do that too.
>>543305336>UK fashion is five years ahead of the US. The UK will still exist, just more authoritarian, with tighter censorship, biometric surveillance. Just wait til Palantir begins ramping up. Expect jail time for posts, virtue signaling from the state and moral policing to enforce compliance. Mainstream media will push absurd narratives no one believes, but dissent will be dangerous. Big Brother is watching. No wrongthink.
>>543305336>Not to worry, the modders added drinkable water and booze.I do think it's more fun to manage water than not in desert / survival games, but I get Chris' point. If anything what I think is best about kenshi is they did a great job simplifying complex systems while maintaining the illusion of complexity.
>>543307704I believe in the bongs, they will blow up the big ben if it comes to that. At least they would, if they weren't replaced by muslims.
>>543312646>Sounds like divide and conquerDivide & conquer is a control strategy that breaks potential alliances by fostering distrust, competition or conflict among groups. It works by identifying fault lines using ethnic, religious, ideological or social & then amplifying them so that unified resistance becomes unlikely/impossible. In colonial contexts like British India, it meant deepening Hindu-Muslim divisions to prevent coordinated opposition. In prisons, it’s used to pit inmates against each other using race, gang affiliation, or status so collective action is suppressed & authority remains unchallenged. >fractured groups are easier to manage than unified ones.
>>543327215Nice
>>543307704Sort of. Unless you're on the do not fuck with list. The same reason some people are scared to be tracked is one in the same as to why I know they don't dare bother me. They don't have all the answers - that's why they need to know everything about you. Control? By the grace of chasing pussy & putting up with women's obligations under the notion the social contract was in-tact people have played nice. Do you have any idea how vulnerable the power grid is? Do you really think running away to Singapore and New Zealand is enough? You should've listened to the doomsayers in the 90s. Nothing surprising is occurring.
>get the Kenshi itch again after 2 (two) years>no will to sort out my modlistwhy must Okran curse me with thoughts of big titty shek bitches but no time to ponder them?
Why in fuck is Players can Enslave only on LL and not workshop.Finally came across it, about fucking time someone made a functional slavery mod.
I've been trying these mods for the crab raidershttps://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3511280140https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2507694959&searchtext=Passive+crabsThe second one "Passive Crabs" makes Green Beach less of a hassle, wish there was an in game way to make them passive. As allying with the crab raiders does nothing, and getting eviscerated by roaming crab gangs, only to see the raiders heal them back up if you survive is an utter headache.
>>543347470You should try this one too.https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2254372888&searchtext=crab
>>543335787There are no rewards without efforts, drifter.
I made a donut, my dude is tired of living in a busted city riddled with corruption and wants to make kenshi a peace ful place, I'll try to build up a robot army and enslave some hivers fun lulz and have them mine materials.
>>543349003I actually looked at that one as well. It is already included in the first mod.
what can we expect from kenshi 2? pic related
>>543356715This is how vanilla Kenshi must look like. If only Chris could code properly and make the game able to process that many NPCs and buildings at once without crashing...>>543359147Seems like Narko is real after all.
>>543327215extreme soul overload
I play the game with cheats and i like it. Am i a pussy? The game is really fun on basically god mode but vanilla feels like a HUGE slog. I use a few mods, not too many that all offer the missing qol from the game
>>543372738The journey is as important as the destination. There's very few things ingame that are a slog, it only feels that way to you because you want to reach endgame status early. I do make an exception for strength training because "proper" ways of increasing it feel like more of an exploit than loading up your character and making them exercise.
>>543372738What even is cheating? The game can be modded to death and operate closer to an emergent storyteller. I generally find it's a question of authenticity. If you're too powerful there's no real danger, so the weight of whatever you're doing reducing to an afterthought. If you framed it as being for/against save scumming, sure, but do whatever you want to get up and running. Some people are so "honorable" they feel compelled to slog through the early game over and over. Make a game start, add 40 stats to some people, go. Cheating? No, it's a custom game start. Make of it what you will.
>>543373495Well that's a nice response. I thought because it's a sandbox game you can fuck around with mods, in my mind it's like 3d rimworld and i have a ton of qol mods on rimworld that make it enjoyable instead of a chore game.
>>543373495>Cheating? No, it's a custom game start.Imo, a custom game start that cheats you out of honestly the most fun part of kenshi. But you're right, it's up to you to customize things to your preference it's a single player game.
>>543373949What mods specifically are you talking about? I will judge you objectively (I am putting off work).
>>543374165Mods like OP start, Heroic start, Cheat mod, infinity food, bigger bags, Nice Map, Fast Healing beds, Max stats 100->500, Godsend xp x5, 256 recruitment limit and a few others. I'm running 24 mods in total.
>>543374905Okay I really have to ask, what's the point of the game when difficulty and limitations are completely eliminated?
>>543375329I just like running with a whole squad killing people and that's it. I play rimworld the same way and i consider it more "qol" than cheating actually. I just want to skip the grindy parts of games. I feel like it's a huge waste of time.
>>543375546No but likeDo you just repeatedly massacre squads you come across with no goalWhat's the point, when you're unbeatable and you didn't even have to try to get there? Like even without cheating at some point there's just no reason to kill starving bandits because they pose no threat and the rewards for it are meaningless. I feel like what you're doing would make the entire game feel like this to me.
>>543376218I am basically exploring the whole world, game would be game over for me at the 100 hour mark instead of the 1000th. I have many timesink/endless games and i can't play them all if i grind. But i understand what you say, it feels pointless but i want to be done relatively quick with games since i have over 400.
ARGHH EYEGORE KILL !!

You know what would be kind of niceA hireable workers modSomething like mercenaries except they go to your settlement and work on farms or mines as long as there's space to put in the raw materials.
Also kind of messed up that LoFi Games channel posts mods of the week yet never released basic modtools.
>>543433176Might be possible, create a copy of mercenaries that spawn in bars and add "working mines and farms" ai package maybe? Then make sure they spawn in bars or towns etc.
>>543433341There is the FCS.I wonder how it works. How come you can't make any mods without using the FCS?
What are the good difficulty mods? Better equipment on enemies would be a good start, but I'd rather not have stuff that radically changes the game or factions unless they're really good changes.
>>543474323guess that's why they broke and he's so paid
>>542460472In what crazy bizzaro world would the iamge aever be true?Shek are UGLY.
>>543454993The only good change is an improved AI, which is impossible to do because Chris can't code.
Do combat moves mods conflict, or overwrite each other?
>>543491380Never tried to use more than one, I don't trust the Bong Code.
I will try to play Kenshi on my phone, I sometimes have some free time on my work, so I might as well play something. Which way should I go? Winlator or Gamehub? And which mods should I use? I think I should get exp mods since it will be extra hard to play and maybe no particles and stuff like that.
>>543497874Unsure, but I recall seeing a couple posts on the subreddit of people playing Kenshi on mobile. It's possible but idk how.
>>543501297Sounds like a miserable experience.
Quiet EU hours on /keng/
It is an another episode of "I am on the 1st place score-wise in a battle, all because my entire team is retarded, and I am a casual who plays once per day, so I am not supposed to rank even in the middle of the list due to my mediocre at best skills".The lack of "tier lists" makes offline games like Kenshi nice and pleasant.
>>543491380no they dont, gotta patch custom races though
>>543511875What the fuck are you talking about, Jesse?
>Scorchussy recruited>Hips>105>Waist>35>Stomach>70>Feet>120
When does martial arts get good? Yeah, I can hit for 200+ but even the weakest, shittiest enemies will chip away at my health since I can't use heavy armor. Meanwhile, I can gear up with some heavy armor, literally any weapon, hit the shrieking forest, and fight non stop with my only risk of death being from starvation.
>>543514984>he fell for the martial artist memeIt’s good for insta-limb chopping and prolonging fights 800% as you characters do the invincible boogie-woogie-woogie across the battlefield.
>>543515819>invincibleI wish. I take so much more damage as a martial artist because my armor is so shit.
Katana is best weapon.
>>543521957When katana isn't enough, Martial Arts is just obscene.
>>543522170What's the trick to not sucking as a martial artist? I take way too much damage, even with a high dodge skill.
>>54352260790 toughness.
>>543522849Okay, but toughness doesn't reduce the damage you take.
>>543523092Wait, I'm retarded. It does, but I take more damage due to light armor. Are armored rags best for martial artists?
>>543523471Honestly just find decent armor that doesn't debuff your MA too much, surviving attacks has more value than a bit more damage. I recommend Enhanced Vanilla Armor for more cool and balanced options.
>>543491380They don't. I've used Grounded Animations 2 and More Combat Animations together and it worked fine.
>>543454993>What are the good difficulty mods?Hivers/Cannibals/Shrieking Bandits Expanded are good difficulty mods for those specific factions.New Weapons Dissemination also raised difficulty by giving some enemies more meitous.The only difficulty mod I've seen that addresses the entire game would be Legendary of Kenshi. Some changes feel appropriate but in many ways it also goes overboard.
>>543525505How's MCA? Are the animations too over the top?
>>543525950A couple of them. Not a big fan of the blunt animations.
>>543514650God made the feetfags just to test my patience...
>>543523471Armored Rag legs are the only leg armor that gives a MA buff. As far as torso slots>Armored RagsTechnically the heaviest you can get, but debuffs dex and has crummy coverage. If it's a hiver it's fine since they have lower stomach hit chance, but that seems unlikely. While you don't need dex for damage, you will need it for attack speed. Everyone I put in this armor dies.>Ninja RagsThis is my go-to. Excellent coverage, buffs MA, dex, and dodge. Very nice for skeletons since they can't wear hats. Very affordable between the Shinobi Thieves and random ninja. >Sleeveless DustcoatIf you don't care about your arms, it gives you a bigger MA bonus (+6) and a slight damage buff. If you're going for a Jax type with KLR or Lifter arms, this is the option. >Assassin RagsGood if you're good, bad if you're bad. The buffs are silly and the coverage is abysmal. Does not solve your dirt eating issue, very "win more" in my experience.>Martial Artist BindingsThe reason I don't care for hiver MA, for some reason they can't wear this which makes no sense. Skeletons can't wear it either but have other advantages when it comes to MA. 5% damage buff, +4 MA, no damage resistance but no debuffs. Competes with the leather turtleneck which actually has armor.Is your donut an artful dodger or more a brawler?
>>543526969they're the fetish minstrels, they exist for you to laugh atscatfags and other extremists are just nauseating to even look at but a guy enamored with feet is fucking hilarious, I remember when people found bob odenkirk had a bunch of followed sexy feet pages on his twitter or insta
>>543525950Yes, Im not really a fan of any combat animation mods. No offense to who made them, just not my cup tea though. I like the grounded ones okay
>>543527027I don't care about buffing MA skill, I care about surviving. All these light armors make me take too much damage compared to heavy, to the point that MA isn't worth it. Buffing dodge and MA is kind of worthless when you WILL get hit, and it adds up fast. I have 80 melee defense, and I still get hit by starving shitters when I'm decked out in full plate and meitou weapons. Getting hit is unavoidable, whether using dodge or melee defense, but getting hit in heavy armor is just a scratch. Light armor hurts a lot.I hope to mitigate the squishiness of MA/dodge to be comparable to heavy armor, but I don't know how to do that. If it can't be done, MA is kind of shit, especially solo.
>>543514984I think a really strong martial artist can get away with some good armor. You could try wearing Blackened Chainmail for example and see the results.
>>543527957Nah, it's just bizarro world. People straight up think fucking animals and women with 300 kilos of ass and tit meat are "hot". Feet's weird? Brother, you're just so deep into a sick society that you're amused by vanilla tier fetishes. Whoa shit, stand back everyone, king findom's about to drop 10 million on an instagram whore to shit on his face. Of course you could go full based and rape-murder children because idk that's based or whatever you kids pass around as edgy.
>the feetfag was the fathater all alongAh. Makes sense.
>>543529407>If it can't be done, MA is kind of shit, especially solo.MA is monstrously strong at higher levels, that's the point. It's hard to level it up, but when you do you're basically unstoppable. Fast attacks that deal massive damage and hit in large AOEs. I overleveled on my first playthrough and my guy was just ripping people limb from limb every time he fought, so I had him use a staff most of the time instead. Don't worry about wearing special armor, just find something cool looking and protective that doesn't debuff you too much.

Scar is wrong. The multiplayer mod is not a scam in the slightest. It's a proof of concept of the foundation but lacks some of the wisdom RE_Kenshi and OCS provide. Not only is multiplayer Kenshi possible - I know how it would work, at least for Co-op. Since nobody else will I'll open Ghidra and show you it can be done.
Shek would be better if they were just the Amani from TERA.
>>543559059Scar is probably just stirring up some bs, hes caused a bunch of problems in the past by just making up stuff.
>>543561838Chris should have finished the Stenn race. He had a unique enough idea. Neat concepts. Then he made the sheks instead.
>>543561838First I've heard of them. Aman look pretty cool. Now I wish Shek had armor like theirs. I feel more could be with how their bones grow too. There should be more "bone styles" for shek heads, they just grow to the back.
I wish a cutie scorchlander gril would punch my heart out through my spine with her robot arms.
Ever seen an ant death spiral?

I took your daughter as my woman. At first, that's all I saw her as, but now look at her. I made her the warrior you wanted her to be. And now she is home. This has been long overdue, Esata.seriously, we fucking demolished her and the invincibles
>>543594102look at this shit
>>543593540>those statsYou cheated yourself
>>543594904Nope. Look at my day counter. Unironically, most of that was trying to get strength to a 100. You think dexterity is hard to level up as a Shek? Dex took me a few days of specialized training with gear. Strength took me over a fucking week in the Leviathan plains.
>>543595160I don't really like grinding to that extreme but you know what, based.

how do massive cannibal societies in the north even exist, in terms of calorie economysurely it's impossible for them to grow and sustain these giant populations we see them in if they mostly war with and eat each other, it isn't sustainable. Like, if 1 human's diet was 90% children or other humans, total population wouldn't grow, it's impossible
>>543593540>RyukyoNow that's a name I haven't heard in a while
>>543611261Does armour help when training dex?
>>543613574tech hunters speculate that the cannibals are biologically distinct as a race, which I guess is supported by them literally being a different race from greenlanders in the game filesour brains have a lot to do with our caloric requirements IRL, it takes like 20% of your body's energy just to power your brain so you can think about high-tier conceptualization like how much your life sucks (compared to a monkey or bonedog who only thinks about fucking and food and can make their meals stretch much further - they presumably make a human body last much longer than a normal human eating it would)all that to say they've probably got plenty of people to eat anyway from the refugees consistently fleeing the HN/UC lorewise and all the border clashes in bast, there'd be lots of patrols lying around in recovery comas to snatch... not to mention their regular assaults on towns like deadcat, even when I try to protect the town they usually snatch a guard or two eventually
>>543595859>too much coffeeNo such thing.
>>543609982I've heard the absolute best way is using heavy armor and martial arts on the crab nest of Howler's mazeIt got me to 90 pretty fast when I tried it.

>>543454993some mods i like to add a bit of difficulty that weren't mentioned yet>ore and stone sell for much less (makes early grinding less profitable, atleast until you develop electrical crafting/plate armour crafting)>Body Weight & Encumbrance Adjustments (makes bodies way heavier, does increase carrying bodies strenght xp gain, but i think it balances out, also increases hunger rate)>make holy nation great again (makes HN squads better, worth it if you're gonna be fighting them)>major faction fire support (UC, HN and some other factions now come with crossbowmen in their military squads>hazard units (these things are OP as shit if unpatched, new skeleton subrace that roams the center of the map to kidnap and peel off people)>geckos (similar to above, but more of a minor annoyance>the arachnids - faction and armour (same, new faction made to make you miserable)>ninja clans: swamp (makes the swamp ninjas more prevalent and stronger)>bandits steal your money (if you have a lot of cash, bandits with loot it from you when you're unconcious, good luck keeping 50.000 cats from getting robbed)>That's Illegal! Tech Hunters dont buy Hash (what it says on the tin, no more flats lagoon cheese)
i gave up on playing small groups and went all in on full recruit runs, i'm starting to hit critical mass in the ammount of resources i have and the ammount of recruits i can realistically feed with our current income, i may have to end up commiting cardinal sin and smuggle hash like a pleb to make end's meet
I booted up Kenshi for my annual playthrough and I realized that I had the Vassalize the World mod and Kaizo installed together. They're apparently not compatible and Kaizo does enough on it's own for my liking. Don't know how I let that happen. I unsubscribed from the Vassalize mod but my former vassalized towns are still showing on the map. Did I not thoroughly remove the mod? Do I need to import?
>>543637668>it wouldn't even be kenshi by thenYeah, it'd be better. Co-op player faction is hardly a crazy concept. Multiple people can queue actions, server is final arbiter, world is single instance you connect to. >would be awfulIt doesn't exist. It isn't anything until it does.
>>543641917>Yeah, it'd be better. Co-op player faction is hardly a crazy concept. Multiple people can queue actions, server is final arbiter, world is single instance you connect to.it sounds fun on paper, but IRL i think the concept would devolve to having your small group of rookies do menial tasks for someone else, it'd turn into those grindy gachas because otherwise the game balance would go to hell and you'd be unable to do anything without some motherfucker with 30 lvl 100 characters rushing in and beating you to death before you can grind the needed levels, unless the entire game happens in a single sitting like stellaris, it'd be too hard to balance, but even then the tweaks done and needed to turn it into something resembling a playable state that doesn't turn into a single one curbstomping everyone else seems too thin, kenshi isn't famous for hi balanced difficulty, i wanna see it too, but i don't think it can work at a grand scale, and nobody would want to invest capital and time into developing a project that would be a dead end from the start, doubt kenshi multiplayer is coming anytime soon, best case scenario we get a mod for sands of salzaar/warband that resembles the idea>It doesn't exist. It isn't anything until it does.well nobody tried to peel my skin off yet, but i'm 99% sure it'd be awful if it happened

>>543642758Dude, you have created a whole fantasy in your head. Multiple players, playing Kenshi 1, as the Nameless faction. Retarded block of nonsense nobody said.
>>543643578youtubers and people/communities in general are retarded, add on it's a video game and you can safely assume most of them are literal children or have some sort of stunted development>dude it's so hard, I walked into certain death immediately because I was ignorant of the map>then I learned the meta strats everybody does to render danger inert and decided to internalize my self image as a gamer pro who overcame adversity just like themkenshi is forgiving all things considered, you're given an even playing field and get stronger no matter what you do, enemies don't loot anything other than food and there's so many holes in the game you have to go out of your way not to exploit themfor people used to the mainstream, not immediately being told "this is dangerous, run!" in a video game is like watching a horror movie, with all the same 'thrilling' pretense of danger. the bar ever falls
>>543643578>youtubers insist game is unforgivingThat's the premise for the video, "game hard but me harder" is a good chunk of YT gamer click bait. YouTubers say pokemon is hard, it's a false premise to spin a yarn about overcoming adversity or whatever their narrative may be. >mfw I find a beak thing nest on day 1I won the lucky fuck lottery once and a nest spawned right next to a hiver village very early, made out with a dozen eggs.>Martial Arts SchoolAtop the highest mountain, or a tiny island like Kame House.>>543654330>enemies don't loot anything other than foodI thought this was so bizarre when I first played. There's roving troops of bandits, but they never steal from you and they don't have any money. When npcs do steal from you (hungries, ninja raids, capture factions) some people tend to get *really* upset about it.
>>543640801Yeah you should import now.
Any idea what's causing all my skeletons to longer have any sit/rest animations? They just stand over beds and chairs. I'm really hoping I don't have to go experimenting with my mod loadout.
>>543659036using wakigawas sit/rest animation mod or the faction furniture mod? All custom races need patched for animations or they will just "I" pose above custom furniture or if the animations were changed via the first mod or other stuff. That also applies to all your gooner mat mods you probably downloaded, not judging though.
>>543618885Yeah because it lowers your dex. >>543617530hello
>>543659327I don't have any custom races. I have some lewd mat/bed mods though.
>>543662409Thats weird then, which vanilla skeleton races specifically then?
>>543663323It seems to be all of them. I don't ever see skellies doing idle animations. Even NPCs.Also, I do actually have Wakigawas mod installed, if it matters.
>>543663614>idle animations aren't a thinggoddamn you for drawing my attention to this because now I won't ever not see itthere's not even NPCs doing them, they just path around town and sit on chairs
>>543663614Pic related.
>>543663614Idk man. Sorry, not certain how to fix. Usually any custom animation mod or custom furniture usually causes conficts with custom races. they also usually adds the animations to all the vanilla races, so those arent usually a issue. mods that add idles cause conflicts b/c it edits the skeleton, so its probably some mod conflict b/n skeletons i guess, still uncertain though. If you have idle mods, try both putting the idle mod at the top or bottom and see if that fixes, but just guessing entirely, might not even be compatible. animation mods should all be compatible with eachother as i said earlier, but idle mods, like the poses they stand in etc arent compatible with eachother if you use multiples of those, they usually have a warning on the decription not to use more than one.
>>543667371those dont look like vanilla chairs for certain so look into what mod added those chairs

I have some pathfinding issues with a building. It's a swamp house, my characters only go up to the stairs and then stop. They will not got on the balcony path.Is there any way to fix it with the in game mod menu?I tried fixing the nav mesh and buildings, but that didn't do the trick
>>543665250And just remember why that was never added>because they can make twice as much money re-selling the same gameThat's ultimately the answer you reach when drilling down to the why. Add idle animations? Sorry, that's not worth the studio's time, doesn't serve business interests and wouldn't lead to any notable increase in sales. Because, as you know, justifying work on a passion project is (and always has been) a transactional affair. Enough game to purchase? Push it and disregard critique. Modern game development: squeeze your hands over your ears and ignore everyone except the investors.>>543669407Have you tried submitting a bug report? :^)The game is unmaintained. Get fucked.
>>543669497The village was added by a mod, I tought I could fix a pathfinding issue simply by fucking around with the building position
>>543670236if you move the building around, you have save and restart the game for them to work properly
>>543670236I'm guessing that's the swamp house in Shark? Yeah, its navmesh collides with a branch hitbox - there are fix mods floating around. To fix it yourself you need to have a mod which saves the building position to elsewhere, even if it's a slight move, it can't be fixed by resetting the navmesh.
>>543670585Is it enough if I do a normal save, or do I need to use the "save mod" in the modding menu?>>543670678It's a village added by a mod in Strobe's Garden. Crab raiders chill there.I assume that it's either a mounted crossbow on the balcony, or shop sign that is blocking the path physically, but not visually.
>>543672420Its been a while since i messed with it. I think you can adjust it and save and it should stay that way once you reload the save, but you can also save the changes from the modding menu as you mentioned to permanently save the changes, make you save on the file its from. Also make sure to reload the game for the changes to take effect with collision and pathfinding etc.

It's genuinely amusing how comically inept this company is at making a Kenshi 2, even with Unreal 5, which is basically babby's first game engine. He should just outsource it to China at this point.
>>543768002He should. To there, or to the slavs.
>>543768002People think game development is this arcane practice which can only be done by an initiated elite class of humanity. It's even more amusing when in one breath Kenshi is a cult classic and the other a pile of code so poorly written neither the studio nor volunteers have gotten much of anywhere with it. Almost as if Kenshi 1 was a one off, which can't be replicated and was the result of one man's autism & lone struggle (with the help of a few friends) over 15 years. They have a full team on payroll and we can't so much as get a vertical slice after seven years. I'm sorry, did you not have a perfect reference and point of comparison with the first game's existence? What is taking so damn long? >game development is h-Chris was barely competent to get the game out - ONCE. Piling in 30 of Nat's diversity hires is not going to magic a second game into the simulation. But hey, keep buying T-shirts or whatever. Talked yourselves out of extended maintenance. Imbeciles.
>>543777270>I'm sorry, did you not have a perfect reference and point of comparison with the first game's existence?this is always where I stood, nobody should have reasonably expected them to suddenly become competent after slapping a finished label on the original far too early and everything that was implemented being very flawed, the games biggest strength was always more its setting than its actual gameplayby the time they got to implementing ranged it was so phoned in that I'm not sure kenshi 1 would have gotten that much further even if they had kept working on it, you can feel how much he hated working on the game by that point. there's STILL unimplemented/'fuck it' features listed in the UI for some skills. my honest expectation for kenshi 2 is bannerlord tier:>more graphics>more cooks in the kitchen>half as much actual content, somehow manages to be inferior to original on a mechanical level>takes too long to make and still comes out underdone>modders don't immediately make the remaining portion of the game for them after launch as they were hoping>ultimately revives renewed interest in the IP and boosts the playerbase, is novel to play for a few hours and makes the devs money but isn't a serious contender when compared to their previous attempt and will be forgotten next to it
>>543777270That's kind of my point. They should just give up on whatever dogshit legacy code this was written in and start entirely from scratch on Unreal 5. New models, new textures, new animations, new everything. Why? Because it'd literally be fucking faster at this point. There are people who knew absolutely nothing about coding who went on to make games with Unreal 5 simply because they wanted to and it was easy. And I'll say something else too: There's nothing in Kenshi 1 that was so unique that it cannot be replicated again on any other engine. Manor Lords pretty much does what Kenshi does, except without the free roam. Even though there kind of is a free roam, where you can walk around as your lord. So it's completely doable. There's just something else going on behind the scenes that's hobbling them. They're the living embodiment of midwits.
>>543777270>game development is this arcane practice which can only be done by an initiated elite class of humanity.The turbo-autists, yes. Neither of us is turbo-autistic, so shush.

>>5438162011 sleeping hut1 structure for cooking and storage of food1 making armor and arms, and storing them both1 training hut That's basically it imho. But I also organize my playthroughs as some sort of ultranationalist faction that is highly mobile, so I might be biased. The only time I amend this setup is when I am doing an RP playthrough (like being drug kingpins) or if I am setting up a base in an inhospitable area that needs hydroponics. I'll build as many buildings as I need to so I can feed my crew. I wish things like banks and shops worked in Kenshi. I wish you could run a bar. But you can't do any of that.
>>543816201I recommend smaller bases, perform better, easier to defend etc. Once you get a couple harpoon guys with decent turret skill, it makes short work of anyone. Even eyegore gets destroyed immediately. If you want to make a giant city though i think you covered everything, just make sure theres a peeler in your prison for anyone you wanna really make sure is completey dead for certain/worldstates.
micro LLMs are starting to come into their own. nanochat shows promise and the dialogue system has what I'd call easily isolated entrypoints - at least in a sense that we're dealing with a settled set of hook points (assuming no newly created). injecting responses then becomes where the game-specific parameters and found conditions are passed for the characters, what they're seeing an experiencing, their assigned personalities and traits, which then through the formed type / background can deliver appropriate dialogue for the situation. chatter can emerge from the people you place in a location instead of descending from packages - if you catch my drift.

>>543825708Ai companions with AI voiced lines is just going to become the standard in the next five years. Everyone can fight tooth and nail against it, but it's what repeatedly gets modded into games, and its what gamers want.
>>543831412I can only speculate but an embedded micro model trained on the game's dialogue and action-execution methodology is seemingly being placed on the table. You can run LLMs locally and it's already being shoved into the public sphere at that scale. What I don't believe in is that it can be stopped. Enterprise grade data center models might be a bubble but the tech is entirely proven as-viable down to consumer grade tech. Not if. How soon and by whom.
>>543831412Five years? That seems overly optimistic imo, but the recent gta leak stuff about npc behavior seems promising despite alot of it being hype or just slightly upgraded versions of things we've already seen. I remember when fable was rumoured coming out when i was a toddler and my older brother and friends talking about the same stuff exactly. Also remember the extreme hype of cyberpunk more recently and things that never came close to even existing.
>>542643410Quest boards could be the in-game way that NPCs get help for their tasks that require multiple people, or for acquiring goods low on supply, or catching thieves that have been stealing from stores. The system would work with mercs wandering from town to town, but a player can take them as well.As long as they are the result of a real need for help instead of just a procgen thing with no effect on the town.

>>543894168This is part of the reason the narrative had to come to a dead halt. Scorchlander and Okranite interplay? Not allowed. Not appropriate. Completely indecent. Holy men forcing themselves onto poor imperial girls. Or the other way of foreign beasts taking advantage and making use of those Holy men. No, that's why the races can't intermingle. Everyone turns into a sick degenerate. Cat-Lon didn't want to stick around to watch the orgy of fluid exchange amongst the mutant races. Understandable.

How do I stop myself from min-maxing in this game? Every time I play, no matter what I do, I end up wearing full stealth gear, a big backpack, a crossbow, and anti-dust goggles. It's just the most sensible build.
>>543870449>Is there any dialouge that hints where I could find Valamon?Walk around black scratch, get your ass kicked by reavers, and they'll take you to him
>>543841221People are already modding in AI companions to skyrim and X4. Other games, too. It's already here. The only lag time is when will game companies start doing it too, which will amount to paying for licenses.
>>543904116>sensibleEmbrace the Fashion Souls.
>>543904116There's a few approaches.>Theme runsMono race ethnostate. You'll want to optimize, but need certain roles filled that would be better as another race (scorch smith for example), but ya can't. Force yourself to put the square peg in the circle hole. Shek ninjas, hive prince frontliners, that sort of thing. It's helped my minmax habits I picked up from wargaming and TTRPGs.>Savage salvageMoney is for food and shelter, not gear. All gear must be looted or you're gay. >Self-sufficient simThe opposite, all gear must be made by you. All food too if you're into that. You can still minmax, but you have to earn it. >Dark abolitionAll recruits are ex slaves you freed, no recruiting at bars. Not because slavery is bad, but because you want slaves without paying. Even if you headhunt (KO and drop off) a slave they might not join, adds an X factor. The last time I tried this the subject wouldn't sign on for any reason, so I beat the fuck outta him and left him for the swamp spiders. At the end of the day minmaxing is a personal problem. You can stop any time you wanted to, right?
>>543905859>The last time I tried this the subject wouldn't sign on for any reasonSlave joining chance is tied to a character's hidden personality, so depending on the camp in question you can have most (or even all) of the resident slaves generate as fearful/traitorous and refuse to ever join you. IIRC reaver camps are full of cowards, the UC slave camps are mixed and Rebirth lets you straight up ask them to join you without actually freeing them or doing anything else. You can tell their personality by what they say when you're picking their shackles, it's usually a waste of time helping them if they immediately signal cold feet
>>543904116Yeah, i kinda do the same, This is why i like job systems in other games, kinda restricts ppl to certain roles/limits etc. Id like to be able to hire peasants etc who will most likely just fall over and pretend to be dead when when shit happens. or take in elderly refugees when you destroy the whole UC food source overnight.But yeah, id recommend giving certain ppl normal clothing, straw hats while farming crops, dont make your blacksmith do smithing in full crab armour etc. Have a lightly armoured leader and set your best armoured guys to the bodyguard role. You can also get rid of armour king, meitou weapons & scraphouse shop too, they are extremely OP. Just use looted stuff like real bandits and revolutionaries did.This is how i try to play though, theres no wrong way.
>>543909542I did figure that out eventually, if their stats are too high or they're military tagged they won't join either. That one was kind of on me for knocking out Clifford the robot in Clownsteady and leaving him next to the southern slave camp. He never came up for sale (waiting for that taught me crazy shit happens if you hang out in one location too long) so I sprung him, I should have just left him there. I was desperate for skeletons, you see.>it's usually a waste of time helping them if they immediately signal cold feetLearned that the hard way. I trucked a hiver all the way back to the Hub from Eyesocket and he decided he wanted to sprint into the desert and be eaten by bonedogs, cats down the drain. Can't help some people. Maybe I should have caged him myself first. Contrast the time I attacked a holy mine and was covered in bald bitches as a result.
>>543904116Once you realize how easy vanilla Kenshi is you'll stop min-maxing.

>>543915226incidentally related but I found out the hard way picking espher (and presumably any of the other captive recruits) up and sneaking out breaks the scripting and they'll never join unless you genocide the entire fucking vault first, I wanted to stay allied to UC while secretly harboring espher in an outpost as a master smith but that kind of poured cold water on it

just bought the game since it was on sale for 11.99watched a few gameplay videos before buying it and some had some minor bug fix/graphic mods so I'm wondering on which ones I should get. note that I don't want to add any new content to the game, I want my first few tries at this to be vanilla so I can figure out exactly what extras I want after a while.I got the texture one so it runs better, the talk mod since it fixes a simple feature, and the spider one because the description of it makes it sound like these spider enemies are overpowered when it comes to range (please clarify this, I have no idea if the mod maker is a big baby)anything I should know before starting it for the first time, like a glitch that needs a mod to fix or some feature that doesn't work the way it states in game or...?
>>543962969You don't need sensible spider range. That was fixed post-launch. Dive in and run around. Just know that getting your ass kicked is part of the process. Dying is fun kinda situation.

Sometimes you're better off not surviving a battle, on Kenshi.

this game is fucking retarded piece of shit for autists, what the fuck do you mean you beat a group of retards in swamp and they keep standing back up? why is there no fucking choice to permanently off someone?>inb4 just mod it hurr durrfuck you
>>544223087If you hit them hard enough, they'll die instantly. Otherwise, the best you can do is get them to bleed to death. My character is 3-hitting paladins into dying. Sounds like a skill issue.
Doing any of the world chang shit in this game is kind of boring. You knock over HN and all that happens is some buildings get abandoned. I know this guy spent 15 years making this game but it really is bare bones.
>>544223087>why is there no fucking choice to permanently off someone?Balancing probably. If enemies could do that then the game becomes too hard. Just take away your enemy's weapon when they fall. If you ask me it's pretty fun how fights can get drawn out so long with people not staying down.
>>544227652There's actually a setting that can increase the likelihood of dismemberment, which would mean quick death but also for your own people

>>544229116They would have been better off just taking their money and hiring some chinamen to make their game. They can't do it and it's painfully obvious. People who zero coding experience have learned UE5 and produced a game in the time that has passed since they announced Kenshi 2.

Is copy-and-pasting my steam mod folder enough to back the mods up?
>>544277896Yes but will probably need to rename everything. Also, you need to put them in the Kenshi mod folder if you want to FCS them anyway
>>544277896I wish I knew this method back a few years. Some nice mods were deleted by the Zippangu madmen because Steam has weird creatures with freedom of being assholes.
>>544073543>All recruits are ex slaves you freed, no recruiting at barsI wouldn't ask you to do something I wouldn't anon. Tried The Slaves fir the first time, actually kinda fun after you realize how the prison works. I got drunk with power sneaking into houses and pulling the old switcheroo on the guards, to the point the prison no longer functioned. Since I broke my "free laboring, strength, and athletics" machine, it turned into lurking about during the night and eventually day to sneak in training in the guard house and, eventually, vanishing all the north guards. The best trick was getting caught, volunteering to enter a cage, and *thunk* when your pursuer starts giving one his old coworkers the speech. All that to say I sprung everyone and got four guys, then one guy from a mine. Another mine was full of cowards, so I got skunked there. Now I have to slow my roll and focus on the food scarcity since half these fuckos are Shek. Good hunting anon.
