You forgot watcha Gettan

These Dubs

Stop making generals, there's too many of them as is.

After setting up a basic house at the Hub I'm in route to Shark for an expedition to find riches. I'm still far away from my goal of fogman extermination but I'm doing baby steps

>>16015764

Gas the fogmen

>>16016318

The fogmen are just misunderstood, you come into the fog with all these weapons and what else are we supposed the think? You should go alone, unarmed with lots of friends and I'm sure you would find the fogmen to be much more accepting.

2 slave camps down. Maybe I'll just go after Tengu himself.

>>16017129

Destroying all slave camps first will make it easier for yourself.

Same with hunting down ((nobles)) so you could actually enter post-liberation Great Desert cities.

Also he isn't worst person in UC government. The worst person is in same city as he though.

>>16017170

>got a big dick

>wend to heng and punched the Trader leader in the face

I see why you need to do that first. I'll start knocking out nobles. I hope the worlds states if you do them right show in improvement in the world. I knocked over Eyesocket and the slave farm. I fed one noble to gutters and another went for an acid bath. I'm just about to beat up the Stone camp.

I tried setting up a little outpost in the swamp to farm rice and hemp. Then a bunch of swamp raptors came and ate all my crops. So I built a wall and gate to keep them out. But while I was building the wall a bunch of red sabres showed up so I had to run away to the nearest village so the guards could wipe them out. And then I ran all the way back and saw the swamp raptors had just finished eating all my crops. So now I finally finish the wall and the gate. Then I forgot to close the gate so the swamp raptors come and eat my crops again. Once the leave I close the gate and lock it for good measure. Then the swamp raptors show up again. They can smell the crops but they can't get in. So what do they do? Destroy my gate. And eat my crops again. That's what finally made me give up that outpost and go back to my home. Fucking this shitty swamp.

>>16017331

put away the ranger and become the king

>>16017331

the only thing worse than a slaver is a slave. man seeks order as order brings him food and security. and there is comfort in being owned if the alternative is at best starving in the desert and at worse being eaten alive. should have offered swords to those that fallowed you and the security of servitude to those that preferred it. but you had to murder all those guards didn't you. now 90% of the slaves will be eaten by the end of the week.

no one is a slave that doesn't want to be.

So what mods are you faggots using?

Texture Options on nexusmods seems to really improve framerate and loadtimes for shittier machines.

>>16016318

While fogmen are terrible, the most disgusting race that deserves to be purged are fish/crab hybrids called gurglers.

Plus King Gurgler has a Meitou Combat Cleaver.

Hackers seem to be the best middle ground weapon class, most types have armor piercing, decent reach and a bonus to robots and/or humanoids. The downside is that most types have reduced damage against animals.

Does dexterity play into Martial Arts at all? From its description it seems like it doesn't.

Are these only on nexusmods? I really don't want to make account there to get that mod.

>>16020174

It affects attack speed and accuracy.

seems unfinished

>>16020831

It is unfinished but there's enough content there for a finished game.

>>16020831

From their January 2018 roadmap: they still haven't finished diplomacy AI, populating the map with more towns, factions and interactions, siege AI and mechanics like destroying/climbing walls (towns going on alert and raising alarms is partially in), taming creatures, eggs and mounts, I think they might also have another playable race planned.

On the other hand, they hit most of their 1.0 targets.

With the last quarter of the map finally added, there is a ton of challenging NPCs to take on, usually having good shit like Meitou weapons or hard to come by masterwork gear, also the world state changes after killing or capturing them.

>>16017702

I've had similiar problems, there is a command it's like F4 or .. something and it opens the developer menu and what you need to do is re- … re-map the mapping.. look I know I didn't explain it well but check your function keys and look for the path that leads you to being able to remap the terrain it will fix it.

>>16020275

thanks for this site mods for a lot of games I didn't pay for. God bless Russia

>>16021201

Nah, she was actually fine.

Miu was just lazy with adding the jugs of water because I didnt give her a trading backpack to hold them with. She accidentally let some greenfruit die before because of that.

I also need to stop farming cactus even though they fucking EXPLODE my cactus storages. My riceweed dont even need to be watered so I might as well just grow Wheat and Greenfruit along with them to make Gohans and Foodcubes.

>>16021223

>no inventory

lol

>>16020275

>It affects attack speed and accuracy.

Cool, thanks. I can see why Martial Arts could become strong seeing as it scales in damage from 3 stats and attack speed from 2.

Started a new game to avoid some of the poor recruiting decisions and other stuff from my first game as well as putting my base in a more interesting location this time. Also hobo phase is always best phase. Top contender for /comfy/ right now is the Hidden Forest. I'll train my squad a bit more before building it than I did last time.

>Time to leave. Sneak into the noble slave owner house and borrow all the pearl and ceramic items. Knock out Slavemistress Ren in her sleep and steal specialist quality noble clothes and a MKI wakizashi alongside some other trade goods

>Sneak out the front gate, successfully knocking out all 5 guards

Been (carefully) exploring some of the northern parts of the map, picked up a decent Skeleton early on with ~20 in most combat stats and gave him the wakizashi.

Right now I'm at World's End with a squad of 5 or so, going to continue gearing up and headhunting for good races to recruit. Looking to buy a house in a town and start researching, might do it here.

>>16021965

As for races, this is my take on them. Thoughts?

<Will recruit

>Skeletons

Require no food, tanky, good at heavy weapons and turrets - Home defence and frontliners.

>Scorchlanders

Good stats for archery and speed, still solid melee fighters and has smithing bonuses - Main exploration and archery squad, a few at the base for crafting.

>Greenlanders

Great base providers - Will mostly farm, 1-2 cooks and scientists, will train as frontliners.

>Bugmen Workers

Not the greatest units but will grab Beep and a few others - Engineers and labourers, will assist with manning turrets if I lack skeletons.

<Will not recruit

>Shek

Fills no niche at the outpost, slightly better combat stats doesn't make up for it.

>Bugmen Soldier

Like above but worse than the baseline Greenlander at combat, shittiest race.

>Bugmen Prince

Makes for good thieves but I want my PC to fill that role as it's one you'll put a lot of time in controlling, I also want my PC to be good in combat. And I'm a bit of a waifufag when it comes to my main character, Bugmen aren't exactly attractive.

But maybe it's worth having more than one thief and send them out on solo missions? Though some ruins are so packed with enemies that you can't sneak past them even with 100 in stealth.

>>16022008

because of the shitty new raid/holy prayer day visits.. I usually just go with a squad of greenlanders, though that is fucking lazy and boring in some ways. Skeletons I imagine are a bit of a pain in the ass requiring a lot of research for repairs and shit, might as well go without them. However if your going to go more than 3 races might as well get some of everything.. Personally I find a squad of about 7 to be optimal.. first game was 28.. it was ok too.. IDK, pick your flavor..

>>16022220

>because of the shitty new raid/holy prayer day visits.. I usually just go with a squad of greenlanders, though that is fucking lazy and boring in some ways.

Yeah it's a bit boring, I'll simply settle in an area that they don't visit and solve it that way. I'll probably go for a playthrough in the future and side with them where I'll go full greenlander.

>Skeletons I imagine are a bit of a pain in the ass requiring a lot of research for repairs and shit, might as well go without them.

Repair kits are plentiful in every single 'Trade Goods' shop and I'll want a supply of those kits with or without skeletons for replacement limbs.

>However if your going to go more than 3 races might as well get some of everything

I did that on my other save and was eventually bothered by the relative uselessness of some, so I'll probably follow my above mentioned recruitment plan unless someone convinces me I'm wrong on some point.

>Personally I find a squad of about 7 to be optimal.. first game was 28.. it was ok too.. IDK, pick your flavor..

I really like large scale battle, I've got the 256 recruitment limit mod, randomized enemy squad size mod and x3 attack slot mod, so sometimes it gets rather crazy.

I plan to have a main squad of 10-15 people then maybe something in 30-40 range that can make my base self sufficient and even produce more than it consumes whilst safely defending from invasions. Ideally I'll be able to leave a minimal defence squad (in the ~10 range?) so that the rest can leave their work and assist my main squad if I need more backup for something.

>>16022008

From my experience, Princes make great katana users and Sheks seem to perform slightly better than Skeletons when it comes to high level combat.

>start to get guys to make a base.

Alright, where should I do it?

I just collapsed the UC and the holy nation hates be because I gave the bugmaster to the sheks which is kinda get but now I get to slam the StoneGolem's daughters fat shek ass all night long so win?

I want to farm riceweed but the swamps are ass and I might just say fuck it and do cactus instead.

>>16024162

>From my experience, Princes make great katana users and Sheks seem to perform slightly better than Skeletons

>when it comes to high level combat.

Well if we're talking 2 different races with equal stats and ignore the exp multipliers (since they don't grant bonuses to the stat itself, just help with levelling) I guess they're all relatively even.

But even so Bugmen are pretty squishy and can not wear much armor. Whilst Skeletons are in a similar situation, they're already the tankiest race if naked. I can sort of get that Sheks might be a tiny bit better than Skeletons for the simple fact that they can wear more armor, though for the same reason but even more amplified, all other races should be superior to Bugmen.

The only thing a Prince has over a Greenlander is 1.2 combat movement speed and 140 max speed compared to Greenlanders 1.0 and 120. For that they lose quite a lot of defence from missing gear slots.

>>16024896

I remember I found a spot that was half and half but it was in the swamps. You got a pic of where you are? I'm on day 70

>>16025243

>robospiders

Oh yeah that reminds me. Before head Hp was increased for Hivers my Hive warrior was being killed outright via hits to the head from them.

>>16025520

And wind is permanent but at 50% speed, so you won´t need batteries but double generators, and in reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally rare circumstances there´s acid rain.

>>16025460

I've set up a decent new outpost right at the intersection of the Cannibal Plains, Hidden Forest, and Floodlands. It's green and fertile, iron and stone are in good supply, and water is plentiful. World's End is close at hand for supplies and for longer runs the Holy Nation is also pretty close. Cannibals will raid you but there's a Flotsam Ninja outpost right to the north of where I set up my outpost so all the cannibals run straight into them before they even reach me. River raptors show up occasionally but they're easy to take care of and I haven't had any problems. The main disadvantage I've found is that the nearby copper is of low quality because most of it is under ground, so it might be better to import copper in the beginning from the World's End mechanical store. Also it's a little annoying to build on the hilly terrain because the buildings look a little weird.

>>16025520

>leviathan plains

I've gone on Mighty CanHeads wild ride and I don't want to do it again thankyou. I do know where I would do it though if I ever did it again.

>>16026065

Holy fuck dude, explain how a thread of a bunch of anons discussing a game means they're all people with a financial stake in it trying to convince you to buy it. Jesus fuck, if it doesn't have young girls that you can rape, then it's just a game that people are trying to trick you into buying, is that it?

>>16026732

Hell, look at the Fear and Hunger thread. A game that /v/ would fuckin adore and it even gets bombed with shill accusations. This place is fucked.

>>16026785

That game you mentioned doesn't seems to be good.

>>16026785

I seriously wonder if it's leftists trying to prevent us from having a community, or if there are actual fucking complete autists that can't enjoy anything that isn't japanese.

>>16026065

>>16025599

You know no one cares if you buy or even pirate the game here right? No one even here has to buy it. Someone even posted a magnet link so some people here are guaranteed to pirate it. Just because we like to talk about a game that we like and you dont doesnt make us shills 632db2 you miserable sack of shit. Are we not allowed to talk about vidya on a videogame board now?

>>16026732

Retards and shitposters exist everywhere.

Its best to either ignore them so they dont get any attention they crave (which we obviously failed), stand strong and carry on doing what we were doing before or just report the shithead and hope to god he doesnt use a vpn when he gets banned.

>>16027056

I actually bought the game because I like supporting devs who make cool and interesting games, I was worried that I fucked up and bought some weird ass game that I wouldnt like and possibly regret getting but 80 hours later here I am still playing it and I still havent even explored half the damn map yet.

WHEN YOU FIND A GREAT SPOT FOR AN OUTPOST BUT THE LAND ISN'T FLAT

I'm thinking a want to maybe go by the settled nomads but the boarder zone by the swamp as a lot of clustered iron and copper. Shame most of the swamp facing parts are on a hill.

I love misery, meaningless horror and death, and people being permanently maimed. I was informed Kenshi is for me?

How do you mess with the editor to fix the gate of your outpost? People keep entering from the wrong area

>>16029079

Its not difficult to edit encounters and dialogue with the construction set.

>>16028554

I never realized cannibals were so saggy.

>>16029112

Oh its default? Never had a base by black dragons.

>>16029208

these guys get it

no wonder the west is shit

>>16029208

Are you Niggourd anon?

I started my town and now I dont want it. I think I'm going to choose a better location because when I see >>16025520

Sexy and orderly walls it makes me think I can do better. Speaking of the town there is a ruin called the fallen tower. By it you see a large metal wreck, you can place your town inside it, its also made of Iron which is great. I think there is some Copper nearby too.

>>16029348

Explore, remember you can mine for some ore or steal food to not starve to death.

I also just remembered that Hydroponics is a thing so fuck setting up near the swamp. I'll get my Riceweed another way.

>>16029348

Get the shit beat out of you, run around naked and afraid for a while, just generally get your ass kicked around the world and get a feel for where the major settlements are. If you don't get left for dead between towns you'll end up fairly tough and can start a life of crime or bounty hunting. If you want to more or less guarantee your survival start out as a slave since the guards will bandage you up after kicking your shit in.

>>16029357

>>16029353

Well alright I'll take these suggestions when I start up my game, thanks guys I appreciate it.

>>16029369

Sounds like a real pain in the ass, might try it but I'm quite shit at vidya so it will most likely end in failure.

>>16029286

If you're talking about the anon who was making that androgynous looking child android race, not him. I think that anon is still working on his mod on the steam workshop.

>>16029348

>>16029364

>>16029378

First time playing, recommend trying the starts like son of a captain, wandering trader or one of the citizen starts. 5 nobodies is also a good start for new players.

Rock bottom might be too rough for your first time.

>>16029399

Rockbottom and guy with a dog or bust.

I found a nice spot in Shem thats a tad more flat. I'm going to set up there instead.

>>16029416

Other than the pools, slightly uneven terrain, and somewhat poor farming environment, Shem isn't bad. The constant wind and being near the center of the continent is a nice plus.

Kind of annoyed with the area, thought it was far away enough from Holy Nation to avoid raids but those faggots keep showing up. Also keep getting wandering beak thing groups that try to eat my pack animal and dog.

cross training.

I think the most OP weapon combo is unsurprisingly maybe the katana and wakazuki, since they both use katana skill and the wak gets the indoor bonus. However I'm always tempted and usually end up cross training weapons at the expense of never having a weapon skill as high as it could be. What do you guys do?

Tried caravaning yet anon?

What did you buy/sell?

Worth using pack animals?

Profitable locations?

Any other tips?

Did you have fun being chased and eaten by bird things?

>>16029558

>Going into Hive territory

I'd rather streak across Okran's Pride.

>>16029434

Yeah its not so bad. I don't mind raids here and there. I'll probably go beakthing hunting at some point, I have the tame beasties mod so I'll probably try to snag one as a guard once I get cages. My only issue is just getting farms up and running. Wheatstraw is a pain in the ass so it looks like my food is going to be cactus right now. I got a greenfruit farm starting so that will probably take a while before it starts to be worth it. Good thing I am a nice distance from a outpost and I have shitloads of money so I can buy a lot of stuff I need.

>>16029580

Make multiple medium sized farms then expand them once you have enough materials to do so.

If the greenfruits growth rate is 10% then dont even fucking bother, same with cotton.

Trust me, just grow cactus and hemp at that point and you wont regret it.

>>16029486

The katana class is great, until you run into high level robots and/or heavy armor, then your shit will get pushed in.

Diversity of weapons in your squad means class weaknesses will be covered.

As for actual weapon skill, not sure how it is raised.

Is it based on just getting a hit or is it the amount of damage done on each attack?

>>16029590

>low growth rate. Thats the yeild right? Good thing you said that I was about to start a shitty green fruit farm.

>>16030596

Oh woops, didn't mean to quote that whole thing

>>16030596

Probably worth growing weath along the cactus if its 50-60%+ since Dustwiches more than doubles the nutrition from what you'd get with just cactus.

>>16030596

>>16030667

Yeah, add wheat. Dustwiches also have the benefit of being much more 'dense' nutrition unit wise, so your squad will have to eat less, as well as making it easier to carry a lot more food when you're going on longer trips.

>>16029669

Most likely one of the merchants walked into a private area, setting off a hostility cascade with everyone in the town.

Happens when an NPC gets stuck somewhere he isn't allowed by another faction, more likely to see it if you have increased NPCs running around gumming up doors.

>>16029906

Probably should have checked the last time I was there but how are the new areas in the southeast when it comes to ore and fertility?

Flats Lagoon and some parts of Stobe's Gamble might be worth prospecting.

Thinking about moving my base, almost at hydroponics so as long as an area has wind and some kind of water source like a water table or rain, would probably be good for me.

Before the rain catchers making a base in a dead zone was a pain in the ass.

>>16031112

I check a bit around flats lagoon but I shoukd loom father southeast. There is probably some good land near stobes garden and the southern hives. Maybe near where the crabfags are too. I know land gets shittier the farther you go in that direction not to mention tougher enemies

>>16031251

I enjoy the base defensing aspect, not to mention the free exp delivery.

>>16031331

I like to send out my main character on adventures far from the base, and having to switch view back to base to defend it causes extreme lack, so I'm glad for the reprieve

you need to grind toughness witch can be tricky in rebirth because of the paladins carrying their hackers that have a tendency of hacking off limbs witch is a game over if you lose a leg here as you cant get a new one without escaping and you cant do shit as a cripple. so don't get up and be a bitch if your legs are injured and god help you if you picked a bug man. bonemen git a bit of a buff here and its worth the learning disability they are born with.

>>16031783

The Red Shitters are easy to deal with but only some of my characters are equal in power with the BoB, the rest are weaker, especially my new recruits. I got raided by multiple factions at once, I simply got overwhelmed. Once I recover I'll hit em with a guerrilla warfare strategy and try to take em out one by one to minimize damage and casualties.

Also how do you train your squad to be good in a fight? I spent most of the game just exploring then building up my base which I just got cucked out of, the BoB got cucked of it too due to the Dust Bandits raiding right afterwards and kicking their shit in while they were weakened.

>>16031790

>anyone know what the real story is between the first empire, the second empire and now?

First empire and second empire had war against each other.

First one was utterly destroyed and big parts of continent were turned unhabitable(doesn't include skeletons) in aftermath.

Second one had fallen too, due to environmental damage too. That one was in ashlands.

Now, bunch of faction nobles try to maintain order in very small parts of continent which can be broken by mere drifters(a.k.a. you) or some (((noble))) dying in some way.

>>16031890

>>16031818

You can also disguise yourself as a guard and just walk out. Will need assassination to knock one out though.

>>16031928

>Sooner or later the cannibals will arrive to raid you since that place sits next to their lands

They never ever do, though. Used to be that one or two cannibal stragglers and hungry bandits found their way there, but ever since I built a wall and placed the gate to the east, not even those get in.

>a shitty name

It's from the Katawa Shoujo VN. When I picked hard start and started out one-handed, I decided I'd try to recreate the cripple academy to the best of my ability.

Also having one-handed samurai slice bandits up with a katana is so satisfying that I opted not to use skeleton prosthetics.

Is there a mod to let me cannibalize people?

>>16031818

Essentially, lockpick and sneak around whenever you can. I've notice for whatever reason stealth exp seems to be glitched in that if you initiate Stealth Mode while in a cage you'll start getting exp from what I can only assume is the guards that are always near you. Once you've got about 20-30 stealth you should be able to reliably sneak around them at night. Once you can do that almost the entire camp is your oyster.

Make sure you take your manacles off (unlocking them lets you remove them - they weigh 20kg!) so you don't get huge penalties to sneak and assassinate. Here's a tip for Assassinate - you can get a lot of EXP for it really fast by attempting to knock out guards, even if you have a 0% chance of succeeding! You're going to need something like 50+ assassinate to reliably knock out a guard but you'll get this within a couple dozen attempts at most as long as they give exp.

You're probably thinking that all this is going to result in you getting your ass kicked into the dirt and spending days on end recovering from serious wounds. You can actually circumvent this pretty easily. When you get caught being a bad goy, find the nearest available prisoner pole or cage and just shift-click to queue getting in it. Yes, you can lock yourself back into a cage and will spare you the guards' wrath. They'll just pull you out, put you back in, and put new manacles on you if you already had them on.

Sometimes the guards have some weird 6th sense about you even when you're not being detected by them normally. This is especially common right after being re-jailed by a guard. To test whether or not guards have some kind of magic sense on your actions, just take your manacles off. If a guard starts running to you then you know you're basically stuck in your cage unless you want to get the shit beat out of you.

Save often, sometimes the guards forget to heal you and you'll be left for dead in a corner.

If you need a distraction, freeing other prisoners will make them always be a problem, so they'll keep trying to escape and distract guards so you can escape confined areas more easily. Be advised, though. Sometimes freeing a prisoner is enough to make you their friend and from that point on they'll constantly try to be with you like a faux party member that you have no control over. This can seriously fuck you over.

You won't get to train strength or athletics much so don't rely on running out of the camp with everyone behind you. As other anons have mentioned, work your way up to knocking out a guard (face to face combat is not viable, they all have 40+str and martial arts. Their unarmed strikes will do 30+ damage each even through armor) and wearing their armor set out. Your chance of being caught then is low. After you're free try to keep hold of the armor because you're in slaver territory so you're liable to get dragged back into a cage by anyone who even THINKS you're a slave (or wants to make money off of you - manhunters are dicks). Don't forget to put knocked-out guards in cages after you steal their stuff. They'll be mistaken as slaves and be put in rags and chains. Revenge is a dish best served cold.

>>16032737 (me)

Also, I had a Slaver party come to raid my settlement and they actually chickened out and ran the fuck away. I've never had this happen before. Is this a thing when your characters reach a certain average of stats? Because it wasn't the settlement size. It's kind of just a small stone settlement.

thanks for the tips guys

this game is pretty fucking cool

>use tame beasties mod

>get beak thing

>it will eat downed enemies

>put fag in cage

>look over and its eating his legs

I am reconsidering my choice or animal.

>>16032975

Beak Things are maximum nigger. You deserve what you get for letting one in your home, mods or no.

Hey did they remove did they remove thief backpacks from Squinn (the jail shop)? wtf those backpacks in any other world would be "magic", do I have to run to worlds end to get them in v1+?

>>16033015

I thought it would be cool. Now I have to send him into bad teeth to get rid of him.

Whats a good building for crafting shit. I have the Stationhouse which seems like its got a ton of space, there is also the bughouse but I might turn that into my training station/sleepy house.

>>16029486

I ended up giving everyone planks for the most part. I'm currently training some sheks to use fragment axes but at 53kg I'll never have someone strong enough to actually wield it.

Unless I remove some limbs.

>>16033314

I have 128.1 hrs in the last 2 weeks lol. Tbf I leave it running a lot while I do other shit but yeah… not proud of it.

>>16033442

before the update with raids i would automate my base for food and mining, queue up a billion weapons and armors and just go to bed worked really well most of the time.

>>16033460

I'm actually handling raids without even intervening at this point. For the first time ever (I didn't even know it was a thing) a raid party said "fuck this" and then left, so… it's given me a little flexibility in being able to walk away from the game for a while while they craft and shit. I've only had a young doggo die so far and I'm still not sure how since I have medics, but oh well. Not bad all things considered.

>>16032751

i had a problem feeding eyegore to beak things for the same reason i think… earlier in the thread it was said that level is just based on your defence stat? the beak things where running the moment he woke up and he would wake up the moment they started chewing on his limbs, kinda funny wen he was crawling away with 1 arm and the beak things would flee

>>16033480

i was under the impression that the seccond empire was founded via revolution from the first and that revolution was lead by cat-lon, the library in black scratch has a good bit of loredump in it

>>16033496

A number of books don't have their stories straight even between each other and the NPC accounts also aren't reliable. Its been a bit since I last read the game books so they might have added more since, but that sounds consistent with what I've read so far.

It is possible that Cat-Lon is one of the originals who started the AI rebellion but eventually did the same as the ancient humans when his followers resisted, enslaving them and pissing off Tinfist.

>>16033509

i don't believe tinfist. i think he is just trying to destabilize the UC. with some of his diolog being about driving out the rebel farmers off their land to "accelerate the end of slavery" along with some of simons dialog of the anti slavers not helping the peasants, and recently iv'e noticed conflict between the now successful rebel farmers and the anti-slavers

>>16033532

I kind of do.

But similar to Cat-Lon, I think Tinfist is also an autist. Someone who thinks its better for humans to be dead to avoid the possibility of them becoming slaves, a lot like the PETA crazies who think its better for animals to be put down than being "tortured" as pets.

Every major character seems pretty fucked up in one way or another.

>get rid of slave farms

UC fucked

Uh did I do a bad thing? The peasents rebuild right?

>>16033509

Skeletons omit a lot of shit. Funny enoughthe most trust worthy characters are probably your own party members.

>>16033886

>Uh did I do a bad thing?

You just caused famine.

>The peasants rebuild right?

Yes, but you need to slay all UC nobles in north-east part of map and one (((merchant king))) from Traders guild.

>>16034131

>>16034131

i really regret going this route

i think it all started when those reavers slaved a few of my guys and i helped some "escaped slaves" make it back to my base. settling in the gut was a bad call i guess

I'm very new to Kenshi - Picked the Guy With A Dog start but couldn't figure out how to even feed the thing. How do you get food without outright buying it?

>>16034528

If you have food in your backpack and the share food with squad option enabled he should eat autonomously. Dogs don't have backpacks but there are mods for it.

>How do you get food without buying it.

Steal it, grow it on a farm (not an option at the start) or loot anomals for meat. Either kill them yourself or find a town with roaming creatures around where the guards slaughter them for you.

>>16034528

Oh and dogs only eat meat (all types) afaik.

>>16032937

If you give bounties to the holy nation without asking for money they still pay you. Basically if the first thing you say is “money upfront” they will see you as nothing more than a mercenary exploiting their sitation to make money. While if you don’t they see you more as a noble hero bringing order. Holy Nation hates greed, in stark contrast to the sand kikes.

>>16034574

>doesnt like greed

>make it sound like they arent going to compensate you

>get upset when you ask about payment

religion, not even once

>>16033480

>Give some of your characters ligher/faster weapons like polearms or hacker

Nah. Falling Suns maybe, but polearms and hackers will do barely half the damage.

so how many nobles do i have to skin to make it not a shithole? yes its vanilla the blueprints are on the skeletons that like to wear human skins leader why the fuck cant i just kill downed enemies? or have a tasteful execution block? but there is a fucking skinning machine in vanilla.

>>16034693

the attack speed more than makes up for the per hit damage loss same goes for katana, well i think. so the extra attack bonus is good for newbies and when you hit 40 in a weapon class it's kind of painful to switch. and there is nothing wrong with split damage good against nothing bad against nothing and has 30% armor pen. idk the combat system is not really well explained or i'm just retarded.

>>16034841

>why the fuck cant i just kill downed enemies? or have a tasteful execution block?

Because devs are faggots.

Get "execute item" mod.

>>16034887

>Because devs are faggots.

why have a human skinning machine in vanilla then? im starting to think that they are just bad.

>>16034842

>>16034842

>sheks are plated

I keep forgetting this. How do they sleep with all of that shit sticking out of them.

imagine fugging a shek lady there are so many handhold

How do you join the Holy Nation or United Cities? If I kidnap Feminist Ninjas leader and haul him to a police station, will anything happen?

>>16034899

I don't think that human pelvis could endure doing this.

>>16034889

>I'm starting to think that they are just bad.

Honestly, it would explain why in some areas and during area transitions game lags so bad.

>>16034921

>How do you join the Holy Nation or United Cities?

I think it was still W.I.P. and that includes diplomacy with other factions too.

>If I kidnap Feminist Ninjas leader and haul him to a police station, will anything happen?

1. It's her andshe's a nigger.

2. You will receive shekels for her bounty.

3. Feminist Ninjas village will either be destroyed or hijacked by cannibals.

>>16034918

so slavery update when? also hit squads keep showing up to my base saying they are going to kill me and all my friends but all they do is knock people out and leave. beak things and cannibals fucking eat the player and skin bandits kill the player and my main with a 200,000 cat bounty on her head should be executed.

but all that putting on these gloves do is make civilized nations a mixed bag of EZ mode and impossible with just difficult early game opponents while never really having any risk to the player for losing. or you know pissing off the nobles. game holds your hand then suddenly half your squad is grabbed by 50 skin bandits who take them to their murder machines.

i'm not saying one way is better than the other either but fuck its just inconsistent. and i cant tell what the change trigger is for the world state. i'm still not welcome in heng despite the houses being in ruin with the noble's gone and the trader kang missing.

>>16034976

>so slavery update when?

Wait, I thought Kenshi was feature complete? If not, then what's the point of a full release?

>>16035083

He's been working on it for years and released it when it was only him. he's been continuously working on it since, the fact he managed to do this with OGRE is impressive. I actually thought it was the Spring engine but I was wrong.

>>16035145

No, I mean Kenshi officially went out of early access and got a full release a few months back. I thought that that meant the thing was feature complete, because if not, then how is the "full release update" any different from all the early access updates?

>>16034928

>tfw no big titty shek gf

>>16034528

The dog will eat ANYTHING, even the dustwich, in any member´s backpack or from a animal feeder box. If not, you can drop food on the ground and it will eat it Don´t let your animals enter into a bar because they will eat the food on display and that counts as ROBBERY. Also good starting, since that dog has more stats than any other one once it reach elder age, take good care of it, and will be your best killing machine.

>>16036015

It's a long road to grind to be that good though, so it's fine

>>16036455

He never wanders, but sitting outside the tower means that things kill him sometimes. Might wanna import your game to get him back. Also, is that a custom race, or am I worse at making faces than I thought?

>>16036516

the only reason i found him in my game is because he got in a fight with an iron spider and a fallowed the numbers

>>16036489

It looks like the Japanese JRPG race mod.

http://catalogue.smods.ru/archives/18511

>>16036525

43 I have spend the past three in game weeks fighting cannibals since they never seem to run out and they all drop first aid kits. Not to mention if I need food beak things are always nearby because of the constant huge pile of corpses that fighting thousands of armor-less cannibals brings.

>>16035083

In their Discord they constantly tell people it's complete when epople ask so I don't think there's going to be any more additional features added unless it's through mods. Who knows though, they have taken mods and built them into the game unexpectedly before, so…

>>16034976

>also hit squads keep showing up to my base saying they are going to kill me and all my friends but all they do is knock people out and leave

If you have looting off there isn't much else for them to do. If everyone on your team vacates the settlement though, some bandit groups will take over and you'll have to go in force to expel them later. I know Band of Bones does this (or used to?).

>>16036546

has yet to happen to me and all i seem to lose via looting is food

>>16036599

>I accidentally the quote

>>16035617

>>16036551

Are they hungry bandits or one of the other factions that are hungry? Because that would make sense.

>>16036455

make her a cook it will help

>>16033024

>thief backpacks

>>16036902

Happy to help. If possible please let me know if you see a thief backpacks for sale in version 1.x, I've heard they are in world's end but that is a shitty place to run to buy 1 (per day if lucky) for everyone.

>>16036930

You can buy them easily from the Shinobi Thieves.

>>16036930

>thief backpacks

If you join the shinobi the traders will have them in stock sometimes.

>>16037123

he's only worth half as a corpse.

>>16037146

Well good thing I didn't kill him then.

>>16037393

you are better off having an inner and outer wall imho, because the AI will happily sap your walls at any given point, but not the inner walls, in my experience.

>>16037422

Do they do it even when you obviously have an open route for them? I never had anyone trying to take down my walls.

>>16037426

yes, they will later, at least they did it to me, maybe because I had turrets up and stuff so they would just look for the weakest part of my wall. During my last game on version 99 I had everything from animals to dust bandits sapping my walls are totally random places. They always seem to runs straight to the food though so I put a food storage in front of my inner wall turrets and happily fucked the shinbois or whatever that kept raiding me. I'm not sure if the AI has changed for version 1.x+

>>16037426

This tactics of building anti-npc walls was abused by chinks before AD.

>>16038050

Oh and I also dont have many buildings because they are all multipurpose and I dont have much of a point to make any more right now.

Once I come back home from my current tech hunting voyage, im going to make a Hashish production facility and probably open my base up to the public.

>>16037441

>During my last game on version 99 I had everything from animals to dust bandits sapping my walls are totally random places.

You sure it wasn't the wall termites, the game had this hilarious feature where if you tried to encase something in wall, the game would just destroy a random segment of it to allow passage. The way to counter that was using ramps so that your walls became the entry to your base instead.

>>16038050

The only building my guys would be using is the tower itself and the surrounding farm. I have one house filled with biodiesel generators/refinery and another filled with cages and a shop counter in the ground floor. The reason why a separate enclave even exists is that for some reason the merchant's guild, the roaming merc groups and sometimes the odd assassin or ninja thieves like to come hang out at my base and fight off raiders and slavers. You can't see it in that picture, but there's about 5 caravan worth of NPCs running all around my base since they no longer leave for some reason and without the separate enclave they end up using my tower/house's furnitures and just end up being an eyesore. Ever since I built those residential houses they kept to themselves and occasionally patrol my walls and they do run out to intercept swamp raptors and stuff. The last extension is the proving grounds where all the blood on the floor came from the bugman. He had been put in a cage there while unconscious along with other named characters I've captured and they're all equipped with the best heavy armor I can craft and the crappiest weapon I can craft. I have a range of prisoners there from the dust bandit king to the swamp ninja leader to the bugman himself for different tiers of training. Furthermore, the armor makes the wearer nearly immune to crossbows so the folks on the tower can just shoot down without a problem.

What's a good solo non-heavy/ranged weapon to use? I'm thinking polearms with MA as fallback

>>16039787

I like the guardless katana. It's the best weapon in the game for bleeding out enemies because it has the highest bleed rate on top of being a fast katana.

>>16039787

Solely for the reason of polearms being the next best option for AoE next to heavy weapons, I think that's a solid choice. And MA is a good combo since it can get some insane damage but lacks AoE.

>>16039787

Problem with using polearms and switching to MA is that you'd need to drop your weapon every time you wanted to switch, since you can't hold one in your inventory

>>16039930

Since it's a solo run that's not a big deal to me as it's just a single character I have to do that for. And the thought of my character just jamming the polearm into the floor and assuming a guard stance is pretty appealing…

>>16039930

Backpacks, but yeah it would be a tiny bit more bothersome. However there are no good AoE weapons that fit in the secondary slot and he'll need that option I reckon

I'm thinking of starting a new game, ironman, skeletons only and a Nip mod that sets your group max size to 1. The mod will work with starts like 5 nobodies or freedom seekers, but if a character dies you can't recruit any others.

How many of you have run Skeleton only squads and how is it?

>>16040480

Some regions can spawn squads without camps or nests.

For other NPCs that require a camp/nest, I think after a few days destroying them a new one will be generated somewhere in the same region, so you can never fully depopulate a zone.

Some world states might alter spawning, like eliminating a minor faction leader will change a region's NPCs generated by nests to something else.

>>16040952

There is a whole minor faction in Bonefields that looks a lot like that but bigger called Gorrillo Bandits, I think almost all of them use martial arts.

>>16040934

So that's why I would have eventually died in there, I guess it's needed so game does not become that dull.

These threads made me boot up the game again, last time I'd played was when ranged combat was still limited to turrets, so I'm going to train a crossbow master now, is there anywhere I can buy blueprints to make my own guns and ammo? and is there any specific kind of crossbow I should get?

I'm glad the game has changed for the better, good to see that I was now forced to build a wall after getting my town raided, fucking ninjas niggered my food. and died for their trouble, wish some more had survived so I could conscript them as workforce or guards.

>>16041015

the eagles cross is the best but ammo stacks in 10's and is 1x5 (longs)

spring bat fallows it in damage but has shit range ammo is 2x3 and stacks in 20's basically a shotgun but will out dps the eagles cross with fire rate.

ranger is the best "all around one" and the easiest to train on with a faster fire rate and average damage and range. firing regulars that are 1x4 and stack in 30's

last goes the toothpick and junk bow (that is literally just a shitty toothpick. fast rate of fire shit damage shit range…. stacks 1x3 and 40's

the best is the Eagles cross and if you are fast enough to kite larger groups while carrying the ammo you can solo anything. the damage of the bows is really not scaled well as the top tiers can deal enough damage in 1 hit to cripple a limb while lower tier bows will spread their damage out across multiple limbs but i think skills are grounds per hit not out of total damage so i would spend out on a ranger then move to eagles cross once your perception and weapon skill is up to something tolerable. i don't know if Precision shooting does anything but… watch to not shoot your friends by being a fucktard, but be warned your character is a fucktard and will point their eagles cross right up to the back of the head of one of their squad mates and unload. lost a few snipers this way so squad placement is important. plans are all over the place just about anywhere you can get the arrows or bows but if your are looking for something in particular then you could check out the scrap house in the black desert city. or black scratch's library.

>>16041128

Found OldWorld Bows Mk I and Mk II, are they just better performing Rangers? they seemed similar on the store.

Also, I got one of my ace fighters/armorsmith stuck below a building's staircase again, is there a way of solving that? or do I just eat shit and import the save?

>>16041369

yea they fire regulars at roughly the same range but you got to understand that the eagles cross can shoot at shit the moment the game loads it in. I started my campaign against the UC with a 6 man squad and i got to say i never had a problem with harpoons, and boy when 4 out of 6 bolts hit a gate guard he is not just downed he is dead none of that getting up with a hangover to drag out a fight. and lighter units wouldn't even survive 1 hit. AND you should know that ranged defense is applied as - x not -x% so your toothpicks will deal no damage while long shots will poke the holes you need.

>you save the game with the camera in a spot you want all your guys in then you load the save with the "reset squad positions" checked

>>16041438

I've seen another mod that distributes crossbows across all the major faction forces and some minor ones, that might be a fun one to add.

>>16041487

Oh yeah I've scrolled past that one before. Think I'll actually give it a try. I'll report back with my salt when I get sniped from 300 meters away

>>16041823

no, different places in the borderlands may get 0+ taxmans, for example if you build directly south of the other side of stack (other side of those mountains) you will get zero, also directly west of the hub, again zero. I was fairly pissed when I discovered if I built too far east of Squim I got a taxman from United Cities and prayer days from holy nation so I moved my base. That landscape in Shem looks amazing, you got iron, copper, water and wind?

>>16041957

hungry bandits are basically "level 1" problems

seems like you found a nice legit base but I wonder who will visit you in the future.

>>16042093

freeloader swamp fuking raptors thats who, walls with turrets going up first.

nomads screaming in the distance getting eaten alive by beak things… but i'm too busy setting up my new base….feels bad man

>>16041823

I'm set up to the right of the nomads, nice place with copper and iron right there.

I started a new guy, sabers or hackers?

>>16042825

If you only can choose between these two, pick Hackers.

>>16042825

Sabres. Better for defense for a newbie. Also, you probably fight more animals than you do robots, so the negative damage penalty to animals won't help you. But, it truly doesn't matter in the end. I've never noticed the bonuses weapons give you to be effective enough to turn the tide of a battle if I'm not strong enough.

>>16043033

Do people count as animals in the game?

>>16043070

Probably not. Pretty sure katanas say they do bonus damage to humans in the tooltip

Well I have finally made my base in the cannibal plains secure only after killing something like 1000 cannibals and 30 beak things having had a close call where I had to chase down a couple of cunts that grabbed two of my rookies during the fight and ran. Now I can finally concentrate on making tons of grog to sell for book money.

>>16045070

You got two guys named Fade and one named starving vagrant, you can change the names are the plastic surgery guy iirc. Also is your leader named Pam?

>>16042642

black dragon ninjas suck first half of the game

>>16045146

yes, i know and i can do it for free at every shinobi thief outpost. but keeping track of people is hard enough without fucking around with their names. one is a sheak and the other is a hive drone and that is how i keep them separate, not that i treat any squad mates differently, except for the 2 snipers.

>>16045156

>black dragon ninjas suck first half of the game

more like nigger reptile weebs

here to give out free katanas again

what they gonna power up like goku or some shit later on?

>>16017654

>>16017828

he's not wrong

>>16046073

It makes sense, when you aware that they are just hivers that lost their queen. It's same reason why hivers that aren't affected by queen pheromones/autistic screeching anymore are banished from hive forever.

>>16042825

why not build on the border with swamp, can sneak a hemp farm on the edge without going into scary swamp.

>>16046357

I got 77 with the Crab guys. 75 from talking to the leader and 2 extra for a bounty I delivered (might be a mod).

I plan on moving north, past Venge JESUS FUCK, SCREW VENGE, HOLY SHIT. and settle near the United cities, a place I plan on rading constantly before taking them out. Not sure if I'll keep the local base, or not. Demolisihing and upgrading the walls sounds like a lot of effort, but could be done, I suppose.

>>16046543

Jesus that armor looks good as hell. Pity heavy armor is now completely bad for martial artist (not to mention my martial artist is a skeleton, so no full armor sets), the best armor martial artist can have is armored rags.

Also, can you wear full set armor still if you replaced your limbs with robot limbs?

>>16046568

None of my characters have lost both legs yet but I'm making a trip to Skin Bandits soon.

Can get a blueprint for their peeler machine from the boss, destroys limbs before other body parts, also don't wear armor because that is also destroyed in the process.

>>16046368

>past Venge

I hope you had enough first aid kits to heal your burns.

Also this region is comfy and ancient orbital laser free at night.

>>16046543

>I have no idea where Hivers came from

I think they were created by first empire as genetic modified organisms to work, which would explain their resistances to some weather hazards(dust storm and acid rain) and low food requirement. Even if pheromones are bullshit, nothing else explains why after hive queen is slayed/kidnapped, all hives under that queen are overrun by fogmen, with some sane hive remnants wandering around.

>>16046568

I think so, but I am not sure what about feet slot.

>>16046687

>love these anti-shills, I wonder if they think their opinion means shit to anyone on Earth, also doesn't even know the game is post-release.

<random thoughts

I guess the dev gave blood spiders steriods because they never fucking hurt so bad as they do now, even 1 can wipe out my group of five with little effort.

Setting population to 1.5 was a bad idea, I wasn't expecting the group sizes to grow 50% but they did and I'm not sure why I though small squad and big population was the way to go this game, I might have to recruit more people just to stay afloat.

(((mercenaries))) are awesome if you are under powered, and there salary is easy to pay off if you do anything to focus on making cash.

>>16046687

Wanting to play the popular AAA soulless garbage with OH SO REAL picture like graphics. Ace combat is the exception because the game actually looks good and was pretty niche

>>16017613

>no one is a slave that doesn't want to be.

This is why no one respects blacks, they are a race of children that want to be looked after and were given their freedom by whites, now they take food and shelter from the government instead of massah.

>>16046770

These are either far away from everything or have several bounties which needs to be caught/killed off to make settling there less annoying.

>>16046787

Going to bottom right is just asking to be raped with low or medium stats.

Especially, if you somehow manage to arrive into Sonorous Dark or Ashlands in first place.

>>16046828 try LBJ and his "great society" plan or just look back to the freshly freed slaves that chose to work the same god dam fields as "sharecroppers" and look at the treatment of Bill Cosby(yea he is a nigger rapist but everyone was fine with it (even the victims) before he started calling the niggers out on acting like niggers during the Ferguson chimpout and he turned into an "uncle tom")

>>16046877

>Going to bottom right is just asking to be raped with low or medium stats.

>Especially, if you somehow manage to arrive into Sonorous Dark or Ashlands in first place.

a stealth nigger with a gas mask can loot the entirety of the ash lands no problem, the only problem is the length of the run at that point,as you have to loop around in the ashlands and the ai shits itself constantly. and you can replace the skin bandits with southern hivers by ether claiming the bounty or skinning their leader.

>>16047327

literally never ever, its a one man team with no sales department and he has enough money to get by so… i think he just made game because he was compelled to kind of like dwarf fort guy. and saw putting a price tag on it as a way for him to stay unemployed, to maximize free time to dev.

i'm sorry for derailing the thread i didn't mean it.

>>16047373

Oh, shame. I should have bought it when it was in alpha state.

>>16047310

>>16047346

>mods hurry up and ban everyone but me!!111

>they are stating facts that make me cry again!11

Jesus christ dude, go back to cuckchan.

>>16047373

>despite there being a hiver in the upper part of the bar with a 10,000 cat bounty on his head from the UC

Sometimes, this game doesn't make sense or it could be caused just by some mods too.

Aren't these hivers hostile?

>>16047483

i'm running vanilla. save for a blood spider nerf not that iv'e been capitalizing on it and when i showed up the swamp was a ghost town. its a vanilla bounty but again the writing doesn't seem consistent and if that is on purpose or not is in the air. but still first hand accounts from characters that have no reason to lie shouldn't be this far off from each other. or have so little awareness of their immediate surroundings.

yea but they are way less dangerous than the murder-bots of the skin bandits that have similar group sizes but double limb health and bullshit level stats for naked savages. and they don't seem all that lethal to downed players. plus i had a bad run in with them one game and killing him just feels good.

>>16047536

its not all that bad and the mods came in and did their job and there is some actual discussion mixed in.

>>16047542

no not based, and i don't even think he cares anymore and is looking to start a new project.

give the "demo" a play if you want to send him some money do so without giving gaben 5 bucks

>>16047569

That's probably because game regions weren't developed at same time and they didn't bothered to check if there are things that don't make sense.

>they are way less dangerous than the murder-bots of the skin bandits that have similar group sizes but double limb health and bullshit level stats for naked savages.

Alright then.

>>16047536

I really need to get a martial artist thing going on but no one in my Squads uses martial arts.

Next game I start my main char will be named Big boss and I will have him use srossbows, martial arts and stealth.

I will have multiple different martial artists/muscular dudes from various soucres such as Bane, Kenshiro, Zyzz, Gene, Guts and what not. Give me ideas so I can have at least a 10 man squad

Maybe I'll get a Skeleton and name him Gundam or something stupid like that too

>>16046770

if u want a quiet place come live in Shem

no faggot taxman.

comfy place beautiful scenery

see post

>>16041823

>>16049308

Thats a lie, every time I go to shem there are Dust/Starting Bandits everywhere along with some Beak things too from time to time.

Theres so much of them there that I've recently been using shem as a training area to buff up my guys while avoiding the beak things.

Fuck living anywhere near beak things dude.

>>16049363

I need to start proof-reading my posts again. Case in point, I'm probably too retarded for this.

>>16049332

I love living near beak niggers they kill all of the cannibals and screaming naked crazies and when they throw themselves against my walls I get free meat and leather from them because they can't deal with the blood loss that turrets deal. Plus they have never really been a problem for me since they can't hit you if you have 50 dodge so my main martial artist can just punch them in their stupid necks until they die.

>>16049332

dust/starving bandits are non problems.

theres only 1-2 beak things per patrol, unlike Vain.. u only really need 2 guys to tank them 1 on 1, while the rest xbow them.

pile the corpse outside the gate and build some wall turrets and it should be easy leather.

if not then i guess theres only HN farm land territory left for you to build on.

>>16046782

the map looks legit at first sight but cannibals can't be found that far south. I wonder how the map was made, it looks computer generated doesn't it?

>>16049363

I don't think this game too hard to play. Pick the standard 1 man start and just don't starve to death. Iron and copper is all over the fucking and you can mine some to pay for your food. Don't be afraid to get beat up or go to jail, it happens. Middle of the map (Looks green) is the easiest place to stay alive, follow guards around and help them kill shit or just look their kills. Have fun.

>so

You know my bases around the hub all got nerfed one by one, literally my version 95 based got nerfed in 96, 96 in 97, 98 in 99 and 99 in 100. No, I'm not exaggerating, either iron, copper was moved or city boundaries changed in each version taking my nice comfy base away. Although it pisses me off, it forces me to find new spots and do new shit, just still annoying as early game is such a bitch.

<does anyone know how to change the awkward portrait angles in the avatar area of the UI?

>>16049593

>I used to only get into fights as a last resort or whenever I needed to sell their loot for money

<Not selling the bandits for money

>>16049593

hire like 4-6 shek boobie monsters

train them up on dummies then outfit them heaviest armor you can get, AOE weapons.

using them as a taunting tank frontline while everyone else ranger xbow on the sideline (dedicated snipers use specialist mk.I or up).

this lineup has been working great for me.

Hows your hydroponics farms doing anon? Mine are doing fantastic.

>>16049860

if anyone can go past the breast size slider please do submit a squad application form with photos (multiple angle) for "review"

>>16049941

There's a mod on the steam workshop that lets you do that (they look like balloon tits when oversized, however). You can probably get it at skymods though.

>>16049981

>>balloon tits

mmm on second thought maybe not

>>16049363

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Getting enslaved should be seen as an opportunity to practice lock-picking, stealth, and stealing as you make your escape. Getting your ass kicked increases toughness, making your ass harder to kick in future fights. Try to avoid save scumming and instead just roll with whatever shit happens to you. Lastly, unlike in other RPGs where gear>everything else, in Kenshi, running is an extremely viable strategy. Don't kit yourself out in ultra heavy Armour unless you are actually planning to go siege something. I learned this lesson the hard way.

When you're first starting out, you can either mine and sell ore for easy cash, or steal and thieve. Once you have this basic, early-game income, the world is your oyster. Topple factions, sell slaves, fuck shek women, build a base, whatever. The game gives you a lot of freedom.

>>16050093

I walked up there on my own the first time, stealthing up the staircase and spotted them all. I ran right out without being discovered and went back to exploring the plains. Then another tribe of cannibals set after me and I lured them up into the lab and the tribes started laying into each other. So I ran off into the Floodlands and ran right into an Iron Spider. I lured him there too. It was a real bloodbath, and in the end only the Iron Spider was still alive. He walked off into the sunset.

Is there a mod that makes it so that bonedogs can enter any building?

So if you put a npc in a slaver cage and the slavers make him a slave (I tested this with slavers who raided my outpost and got btfo), you get to buy them. Does this mean I get to buy the bugman/pheonix lord as my slave if I managed to put them in a cage?

>>16051211

Try to test it.

>>16051226

I read that the slave thing has a timer where they follow you around then decide if they want to join and "treacherous" npcs will never join you. I lack the bugman to try it atm. Any anons have captured boss level characters?

>>16051211

If it doesn't work, you definitely could with a mod.

>>16049593

>I dont have a single martial artist on my squad.

See >>16027056

>>16051211

>>16051242

Most NPCs will know that you sold them into slavery and try to kill your characters if you buy/rescue them again. Some might try the moment they get out of the cage, others might after reaching an empty area.

>>16049363

Here we go. Click on your guy, click on a copper rock outside a town, take the ores and sell them in any store. It gives you money and trains the strength stat and running skill. Bait bandits into town guards. If you find a slavemarket, you can sell unconscious bandits into slavery. Actually you can kidnap anyone and sell them.

>slave start

>train sneaky skills while in rebirth

>escape and travel to the swap

>mine and sell iron until i can afford that big hut in mud village

>move onto weapon and armor crafting

>my bounty with the holy nation is at 60,000 cats

>have 400,000 cats from selling high level shit

Wheres a good, flat location to start a base that lets me farm my own food? I've got all I can from living in a town. And no areas that'll get me assraped by several hundred cannibals or fogmen. Taxes are fine but not to the holy nation, fuck those guys.

>>16053375

Settle outside of clownsteady in the plains. You can plant all the rice you want and the lands there are fairly flat. It'll still be close enough to clownsteady that you can sell your crafts. You do get raids in that area still but you also have easy access to a slaver camp and a manhunter camp while being close enough to shark for you to fall back to.

>>16053375

Most regions will let you farm something if they aren't completely dead and there aren't many zones outside of Okran's Pride that will let you farm all the plant types effectively.

Cannibals and fogmen are actually some of the easier enemies for raids, many regions will have far worse.

Once you have hydroponics you can farm everything if there is a water table or rain, even in a dead zone.

A lot of people, including myself, say fuck it and settle in Shem since its in the middle.

Its mostly arid, usually gets dust bandits any the occasional beak thing. One anon said there are Black Dragon ninja raids but I've never seen them.

Every region has some kind of problem to handle. If you don't like Shem, travel around for awhile and prospect some flat looking regions, just keep in mind the southeast has some pretty strong minor factions and bandits.

>>16053555

yup black dragon ninja raids if u live on western Shem bordering swamp

>>16053640

No such map, I think, also hydroponic.. that is what it means you can grow it anywhere that is why it exists so you can do that. heh. Free hint though, you can find areas on the border and actually grow 2 regions of crops together as the line dividing regions is a single pixel.

>>16053682

I still hate these fuckers.. I need to actually get behind my walls and turret these fuckers.

>>16053803

>that is what it means you can grow it anywhere that is why it exists so you can do that. heh.

lol I deserved that answer. Still thought I'd ask because who knows what kind of bronze age bullshit this game will pull on you.

I've a question. Do you have a main character in this or is it more like the entire party is your main character and even if your original character dies you continue as the others?
