After the spending the better part of a fucking in game year stalking around the wastelands dressed like knock off Final Fantasy villains, smuggling drugs, genociding the fogmen, bullying the Holy Nation and just being a gigantic disruptive cunt in general, I think it's finally time to settle down.
Found myself a pretty little spot on the border of Shem and the Swamp that will do just fine. Got about half a million cats saved up to get this city going too. Feels good man.

I wish the game was dynamic enough where you could form your own faction with your own borders based on regional and provincial borders that the game already manifests. But at best you're just awkwardly micro-managing every fucktard in every squad all over the place, which you need to accrue over time by harvesting different assholes in parallel universes over and over again to even gain numbers similar to that which can be found in any actual town.

22 towns plus 50+ outposts, the towns almost always have someone to recruit and sometimes as many as 4, outposts often have 1-2. After you recruit in a city you can come back in a week-ish and recruit again as it will have new random / unique recruits available. Buying slaves is another option, and several recruits can be freed/saved/unlocked from somewhere in the game.

I never liked the double-wall kill pit system. A swarm of crop-eating reptiles or dumbass cannibals with sticks can just annihilate your top-tier gate in seconds, and the double wall only really stops it for a bit.
The only real defense is a chokepoint guarded by samurai armor fags against a swarm to blob up their motions in front of a gate while tower or wall sitting turret users fire down with revolver harpoons.

This. Add some small makeshift walls and either make a straight line with the opening diagonally down to the left off-screen or make a mini maze like pic related. Also you could move the tower itself a bit diagonally to the upper left corner.

That's assuming you want to rely on ground forces for defence, personally I just use them as a last resort. I use a few permanent turret guards (preferably skeletons only) and have everyone else work. If I need backup I pull the rest from their regular assignments.
With this tactic, a maze can be better since it'll keep the enemies in the range of the turrets for a longer time and also reduces the chance of them simply ignoring the towers because their entrance is too far away.

The game has no working economy, so it couldn't ever be that
A working and truly simulated economy is the bare minimum for what you want, and almost no game has it. Every feature that you want comes from economy similarly how every authority comes from violence
Having the features without a economy backing them is just having a shallow buggy and exploitable placeholder that at most 'feels' like what you want but can never be

It's such a waste of (human) resources though if you have them as permanent gate guards. Best is probably to just have workers do stuff nearby and then have them automatically assist if the towers can't deal it with alone.

It's mostly efficiency, I imagine you'd need at least 10 dedicated guards (counting both turrets and ground forces) to defend without manual intervention and that's a lot of unused labour and extra mouths to feed that don't contribute anything 90% of the time.
But if you're already producing an excess of food, crafting materials and other items I guess there's no big loss in sparing some extra characters for permanent guard duty,

The game features everything needed to make a working economy, all the buildings are there, trade caravans as well as infrastructure needed to keep the world population alive. Kenshi just lacks the proper instancing to allow these parts to interconnect outside the players view-range. Although I'm sure that level of detail in such a massive world would bring the game to a slow crawl in performance. It's still funny how you can steal from the same shop over and over again without any repercussions on their end.

Also here's another neat trick I found, when people are being eaten they only start taking damage when you look at them. If you don't look at someone getting devoured then they only take regular bleed damage. This means that you can prolong the lifespan of prisoners by ordering your squad closer to in order to attack. Even more ridiculous is you can order your troops to heal the prisoner while they're being eaten and as long as you're looking away they'll be healed up to max as if nothing happened.

Not really, it's all about using the correct level of abstraction, if you are far, you can proximate the values. it does not need to be perfect, it just can't show any flaws. The player wouldn't be counting the cents and ambushing every client to make sure that not a single cent was off from that shop inventory. But implementing this would require a total rewrite of the engine. The game needs to be made to support the feature, you can't just attempt to add it to the game later.
You basically have to implement the economy in a 'naked state' and then add the visual aspect of the economy to the world. For instance, a 'trader' object is a 'trader' whenever close or far from the player. But if it comes close to the player, it needs to spawn a 'trader-visual-representation' object that just so happens to be in the same spot and kills the 'trader' if it's killed and shares the same inventory. All of the economy actors are extremely simple, they shouldn't even be doing pathfinding (but that requires meta objects that represent roads, which have all the pathfinding pre-cached, etc)
It's a whole lot of work, but it's 100% possible. Probably nobody thinks that it's worth the effort though, it's very hard to guess how much this would add to the game and how much more work would be needed in AI to make sure that all cities economies don't crash due to lack of food or something (The AI would need to know that they can profit more for their labor farming food instead of whatever they are doing and switch automatically, rather than spawning food to make sure the city don't go under. It's also possible that some top tier job is so profitable that everyone switches to it, and by the time the food prices skyrocket it's already too late)

I'm saying it would impact performance because currently with the game's existing features it runs incredibly poorly on many rigs when maxed out, there are reasons people are making downgraded graphics mods.

Besides I'm more looking forward to other features promised like mounts, things like riding gyarus or mad max style vehicles.

There is no possible way that hunting is easier than farming realistically. Even in kenshi unless you take down herds of shit you'll exert more NU than you gain.

I will admit that racing the clock while healing up at an ancient lab between starving/having to make a second trip ALL THE FUCKING WAY BACK is interesting.

What does? I think many animals are just tuned to pretty high attack speed and it's much more noticeable when engaging multiple ones at once. Also unmodded Martial Arts has dead zones where they're not close enough nor far away to attack, then the enemy attacks and forces you to dodge, repeat ad nauseam if they have high enough attack speed. Melee weapons have enough reach and no deadzones so they can start swinging and just tank some blows.

If you plan on staying at 11 or under (Ie: the one line squad), I would say that you would not necessarily have to do crafting. In a lot of ways crafting earns money so that you can craft more or better stuff so that you can craft more. However, I find it rewarding that I can now craft edge2 weapons.. but I'm aiming at a faction size of 44.

Armor smithing is good way to get money, when you produce enough of needed items to actually mass produce these. (Only applies to standard+ items)

The patch does what it's supposed to, the nude mod that it makes compatible only includes partial nudity. There's also a full body nude mod out there and I'm currently trying to nigger rig it to work with the weeb race.
Anyone know which files I'd need to replace? Problem is I believe renaming them to the filenames used by the mod is a must and only 2 of the files were obvious. Also the jrpg race mod only has 2 .dss files by default, and it's the only common denominator I can find.
I transferred and renamed the files marked in red but not sure what to rename the remaining to.

If you like me had the jrpg race from the workshop, find the mod in steam/steamapps/workshop/content/233860/ copy and rename the folder to the same name as the 'mod file' inside it, this should be jrpg_race.
Unsubscribe to it and put the copy in your Kenshi/mods folder.

This is a modfile created with the assets from the nude mod on nexus, download it and copy over the two .dss files like I did in my previous post, rename them to what the JRPG mod calls them.

Add the nude mod to your list, below the JRPG race. So make sure you copy the files in step 1, not cut.

It just werks.
The body itself is not without flaws but it's definitely a step in the right direction and I'll take it over the underwear.
Ideally someone would add the tits from the breast only mod since they look a bit better but I think that requires fiddling with the actual mod creator.

That has been the case for the majority of humanity's existence. Farming requires cooperation, year-long storage and planning, irrigation systems that need to be planned, dug, and maintained, etc.
Unless your land is reasonably stable and peaceful, farming is an asspain. And the less people there are, the more animals can reproduce and the more there are to hunt.

it'd take about seven to eight months for wheat to reach maturity, think about all those efforts to keep the plants alive from weather and wild life.
meanwhile there are no food being produced (besides maybe trapping small game and foraging plants nearby, but kenshi is mostly arid deserts)
now think of a hunter that camp ontop of a tree, set a bait and wait for passing game. based on location, experience and luck u could get a kill the size of hog/deer every 1-3 days
now if u have an experienced group of hunters with good teamwork, it should be easy to bait carnivore packs and get large amounts of meat, fat and leather in a very short amount of time.

I've made a roving band of samurai armor supersoldiers with near softcap stats and meitou shit cleaving through hundreds upon hundreds of people but the game doesn't really respond well to that besides just trying to kill you. Seeing the UC, for instance, trying to bribe the shit out of you so you don't murder the rest of the them would probably be fresh.

150+ hours and 200+ days in im still enjoying the shit out of the game, havent looted all of the dungeons yet, never discovered all of the areas yet, never killed a single superboss, I dont even think I discovered an entire faction of people I heard about yet.
Pirate the game if you have to, wander around for a few days, maybe get a little party going on and once you feel like you have a feel for things and are enjoying it, then you can buy it if you want to, or not, your choice.

Many of the ruined outposts which tend to be filled with random trash, building materials and regular research books can have survival guides. Also vendors that sell regular research books have a decent chance to stock some, but not guaranteed.
Be careful with the 'map marker' building, it turns your stuff into an outpost.

When I eventually recruit some more humans and settle somewhere, I'll have my entire away team autistically LARP as wolves and have them be joined by a pack of bonewolves.

Yeah there are some decisions I find a bit questionable but they're mostly minor. I don't know if having no research requirement at all is balanced but I think making the acquisition of them easier instead of having the player run to towns all the time would be better.
I'd probably make a 'campfire research station'. You collect X amount of wood, you can then sit down whilst warming yourself and contemplate a new survival technique.
Also some crafting benches needing Steel Bars is dumb, more or less forcing you to go into a town and buy them since you wont have an outpost, same with 'Tools' and 'Hacksaw'.
Though at least these are just one-time things for only a few buildings, once they're setup you never have to enter a town again.

No it adds its own crafting bench that doesn't require electricity and you can also research regular stuff at it.
I agree that if you're already far into a playthrough it doesn't do much besides add some nice buildings for that comfy aesthetic, but yeah it's a fun start and lets you avoid building in towns before you move onto an outpost.
Also if you don't import your save or start a new game, you need to buy this recipe which adds the basic things.

leviathans are not that hard to kill 1v1, but you have to do it 1v1. with attack slots plus splash damage = Death, as you cant block splash damage. but if you have a sufficient block skill 1v1's can be rather simple as they don't have high deference, only a massive health pool. attacked roll defense vs attack 0 damage attack roll attack vs defense chip damage repeat until dead.
but if you wanna try and cheese them for their 12,000 pearl, i mean fuck i would hunt them for food but cash? not like i don't have enough of that lying around.

i spent a few hours digging around in the .mesh files (that are not supported in vanila blender but he provided an addon to aid the modding community and it just works) and basic bitch stuff is not that hard to learn if you are willing to look shit up. (when in doubt hit space bar and try typing what you want to do in)
if you want to add googles to a hat or something like that then its literally just 1 key combo (ctrl+j, with bolth objects selected in object mode) then exporting the object back into the folder with a new file name, or the name of whatever you want to replace. then doing whatever wizardry you need to do to get the game to implement it.
i was thinking of making a low poly mod for the game to reduce the poly count of random shit in the game only to find the grossest typologies i have ever seen and just absolutely maddening shit like the level 1 walls literally being made of pices of sheet metal plastered together rather than just a flat quad with plastered sheet metal textures on it. all the animals and characters being sculpted and then auto-topologied down, witch is standard practice but still this should be low poly shit shouldn't it? that level 5 research bench really needs it's 15k triangles, those pants that starving nigger is wearing 3k triangles. each ring on each ringed saber has 100 triangles in it. that and the skeletons that they use are complete cluster fucks, regardless of the loss of constraints and importing errors the weight paints look autocomplete and don't have enough bones to make use of the high poly count meshes unless you put the effort of weight painting. there are no root bones so the entire mesh flips around on the hips so you cant have bones set to a grounded state, i don't get how he would have managed to do ik setups on this shit. unless he just didn't. witch would explain the animations made of jank not to mention multiple unused modeled and rigged animals in the base game files pic related

What about changing the colour/texture of items?
Would it be hard to cut off a part of some gear, then attaching it to something else?
And I imagine changing which slot a piece of gear goes in (and modifying its stats) is relatively easy thing to do in the game editor?
I really like the pantihose from one of my mods but it's in the chest slot, was thinking of attaching a short skirt to them like the upper part of samurai clothpants or lower part of the ninja rags, giving it decent stats and making it a pants slot.
The same mod adds some nice slutwear with good looking meches but they're fucking chrome. Such a waste, completely unwearable unless retextured.
Also since I have a nudemod I wanted to de-sluttify the assassin's rags just a tiny bit and these martial artist bindings that were sluttified by another mod would be great. Maybe make the drifters pants shorter and add pantihose to those.
And while taking these screenshots I realized that I want the footbindings part as actual boots (not a footfag, I swear)
Can't believe I'm considering learning how to use blender for this of all things.

your going to need this, you wont be able to merge objects together without having to re-texture them but you could assign them to unused slots, game doesn't care where the mesh is supposed to be they are all parented to the characters skeleton. the process for re-texturing wouldn't be that hard or even require that much technical skill but. you would have to know what to do. and if you are not making any new geometry you shouldn't have to worry about weight painting but again that isn't that hard to do for basic stuff. and any blender tutorial should show you what you need to know, if you wanted to get into that stuff.

Eagle's Cross - I've developed a love-hate relationship with this thing. Admittedly, it's probably because I don't meet the 80 required skill on it just yet (only 58 Crossbows, 68 Precision Shooting) on my bugurai atm.
It absolutely chunks enemies. Makes clearing gutter nests very easy, since you can just pull them one at a time, from a mile away, into an ambush spot relatively risk-free kills. Half the time they're bleeding out by the time they get there. In end result, a nest full of beak thing eggs amounts to a massive pile of cats for the next Scraphouse shopping run.
I can't count the number of times I've KOed a party member with friendly fire from it though. I assume it's better to just equip a crossbowman with a Toothpick until they git gud?

I mean, even with the stacking penalty, the heavy armor crossbowman is still surprisingly effective. I have a thief/lockpicker archer in my backline with nothing but ninja rags/pants and a dark shirt, so I have my bugurai set on Taunt so when enemies rush back there he draws them away from her, and is tanky enough to fight them off. In a typical fight he gets maybe a couple shots off with the Eagle before the sword comes out (when the line of fire is mostly clear anyways), and after that maybe one more bolt to pick off a straggler.

the game actually calculates projectiles and your skill affects your degree of error added to the weapons natural limit along with a penalty for not meeting the skill. and this is really not enough and crossbows even in the worst hands will still function quite well, but you are also missing out on attack speed as it is determined by crossbow skill on x crossbow. don't really know the formula on that one, just bitching about the performance of thing while wearing literally the worst gear for it.

I'll be swapping out the chain shirt for a leather on the hiver as soon as I get back to the safehouse. You are right in that the lack of skill doesn't seem to affect the accuracy all that much, since despite all the penalties he's still landing a majority of his shots. Could be that it's just the core stats for a Specialist-grade Eagle helping it along. Comparing to a Specialist-grade Toothpick, Eagle has 1.7 degree deviation and 179 m/s projectile speed vs. Toothpick's 7 degrees and 99 m/s speed, so even a fuckwit could potentially shoot it straight (not fast, just straight).

I posted my modlist /vg/ thread, I'll give some recommendations regarding what I'd consider 'essential'.
>Compressed Textures Project
Significantly improves loading times and doesn't degrade visuals
>Dark UI
Much nicer to look at than default, though subjective I suppose.
>Random Enemy Squad Numbers
The example the mod itself gives is that a dust bandit squad spawns with 9-10 units, averaging at 9.5. With this mod it spawns 1-20, also giving an average of 9.5 but with greater variable. Lets you find some lone enemies easier to train against at low lvls and amps up the carnage later in the game. Double edged sword but adds more fun.
>Nice Map
Mostly self-explanatory, some different versions on what you want it to show. I use the one with most features (grid, zones, zone names, roads)
>Interesting Recruits!
Adds more 'unique recruits' all with specific dialogue reacting to various situations. Livens up the part a it.
>Execute Enemy
Adds an item to NPC's inventory that if removed while unconscious or playing dead, kills them. Same as looting meat or leather kills animals.
>Let's talk
NPC's and squad members can repeat dialogue, without it most will only ever be said once and it's often easy to miss it. Makes the game feel just a tiny bit more alive.
>Attack Slots
X number of enemies can engage a single enemy at once. There's 2-5 versions I think. I like x3. Double edged sword but adds some 'realism'.
>More Names!
Adds more names to the randomly generated recruits, sucks to see the same ones appear all the time.
>Copper Drill
There's a iron drill, why not for copper too?
>Bandits Expansion
Adds some new bandits factions with leaders and home bases, more people to murder and test your squad against.
>256 squad limit
Basically removes your recruitment limit
>Reactive World
Adds a ton of world state changes due to events caused by important NPC's dying, great mod.
I like the large majority of the mods but all of these not only keep the game very true to vanilla but they're all more or less objective improvements.

>"colored clothes redux"
This makes armors show up in shops with random colors and allows you to craft colored pieces as well, I must say this mod makes me super happy.
>Interactive world
A lot of things in this game require some sort of base or owning of buildings in a city, this basically allows you to build stuff like a campsite, havest wood, build simple storages, cook, small farm and walls without it being declared an outpost. This is great for a small squad or early squad that doesn't want to fight against scheduled raids.

>About half
At most 3, attack slots, squad limit and execute enemy. I'd argue they fix annoyances rather than break the balance, though.
>Does execute enemy make slavers "accident" their victims?
Only the PC can do it and must be done manually.
I second interior design and interactive world, use them but didn't include in the list of 'essentials' as I wanted to trim it down.
'Market Stalls' adds some more life to the game as well, new buildings and even clutter decoration items like food, bottles and a few pieces of gear. 'Improved Shopping Economy' is a good sibling mod
'More Building' is cool since it adds vanilla buildings and structures (such as bridges) that the player can't access regularly.

ya holy shit do NOT train precision with an Eagle Cross
tbh anything above a owb mk1 should be on passive and target fired manually.
everyone with toothpick (and ranger?) can fire away freely….but rangers can still hurt quite a bit, so i find toothpicks are THE best to train precision as they barely do damage to your own tank troops

Precision increases every time you hit a friendly target, so toothpicks having both lowest damage and lowest reload time (iirc) are objectively the best for that purpose.

I agree that the 3 Attack Slots mod is overall a balance improvement. It makes it so that when you're fighting a gutter or security spider with a small team they're not just all standing around with their thumbs up their asses while getting AoE farmed. Likewise, when you try and fighting a larger group than you, your party doesn't just '1v1 me m80' the entire opposing force, so things like fogmen and cannibals, who are weak individually but come in numbers, are a bit more of a threat rather than simple fodder. I've been only playing for a bit over a week now, and that's been the very first mod I've picked up to improve the game.
In the same vein of 'simple balance changes that make sense', I'd add 'Backpack Stacking (Vanilla Friendly)' to the list, which adds a gradient of stacking to regular backpacks to make them a viable alternative to Thieves' and Traders' backpacks instead of eternal shit-tier.

Thanks for the suggestions. I went with most of what you suggested, and so far from what I can tell, the texture compression is pretty convenient. By the way, is armor coverage just an RNG thing, or is there something going on like actual hitboxes for the armor? I also remember reading something about how characters with higher stats will be able to perform more attacks. Is that a cosmetic thing, or do these different attacks give an actual gameplay benefit?

Yeah I fixed it, the reason for it not appearing was that I had named the folder "Mod Name" instead of "ModName", which made it not match with the mod file inside.
Anyway, does someone know if it's possible to change the texture/colour of items within the construction set, even if it's just adding an already existing texture from another item?

Tried to change pantyhose from a mod from shirt slot to leg but it doesn't work.
When looking at other shirt slot items they just like the pantyhose, they lack a mesh file (below the icon file) unlike other armor. Instead they just use texture layers, I'm guessing this is because they're 'skin tight' and just apply on the skin itself?
So is it not possible to change their slot to something else and still have their texture correctly apply?

Oh neat, didn't realize I could do that.
However I've moved onto a different approach of adding the meches to other clothes which I think has more potential.
From left to right it's Assassin's Rags, Drifter's Leather Jacket and Dustcoat. This is just a new game start I made to test changes, character models aren't very polished and the Assassin one looks like trash, Drifter is definitely a favourite so far and the dustcoat is okay but a bit boring.
Someone got suggestions on what other armor could look good for this purpose?
Only problem is that there are some clipping issues, unless I go for rather thin thighs the strap tends to start clipping but I think that's just an inherent issue with the model.
>>16146379
>the pantyhose and thong pretty much has to go together, so i guess u can just edit their stats to whatever u'd normally wear for light armor
There are some chest armors that are long enough to make the pantyhose perfectly fine without the thong. Ninja Rags for one.
But I guess I could make some invisible pants.

To clarify, second image is actually of the Lagoon town. I've currently moved onto another playthrough where I intend to develop a bit slower by not (ab)using thievery for all my needs, I'm also a sucker for the hobo phase so starting anew never really bothered me.
I do intend to create a similar setup in Shem on this one, although closer to the Swamp for that mixed sand and jungle aesthetic.
As you can probably see there's only one outer gate and I would have turrets on the platform walls defending it, then once they broke through I'd have more turrets along the NE platform wall. Turret guards would start to reposition when the wall breaks.
The next stop for them is the platform gate which is also defended by turrets placed on the walls, the steep stairway (as you can see in the second picture) would make the enemy easy targets.
If they actually break through at this point I'd have them face an infantry squad, maybe units that are otherwise occupied by crafting as to not have too many recruits on guard duty 100% of the time.
I'd probably have housing, taverns, crafting and shops on the platform then have farms and mining inside the outer area which is only accessible by walking over the bridge on the platform.

This is game has a really comfy grind because you just can always focus on what exactly it is you want to grind on, I think that's why I've been able to play well over 10 different factions from zero to hero.

Does anyone have any idea how much the different animals eat? I love my bull but I feel the fucker is a bit retarded. If he eats say twice as much as a greenlander I will prolly just go pick another unique recruit to replace him..

Posted an extensive list of mods that I'd personally recommend in the /vg/ thread, thought I'd repost here too.
This is just like my opinion, man. But feel free to suggest mods both for my own sake and so that my list improves. Posted a shorter version previously in the thread, added more and removed some.
<Must have - tier.
Mainly QoL and improvements on base game.
>Compressed Textures Project
-Significantly improves loading times and doesn't degrade visuals
>Minor Mech Fixes
-Just tidies up some armour mechs for less clipping.
>Craftable Edge Type 3 Weapons
-Just what it says, at max skill you can get guaranteed type 2 but need to crit for type 3. Seems balanced to me.
>Stackable ITEM
-Plenty of mods make items stack better, personally I like this one.
>Dark UI
-Much nicer to look at than default, though subjective I suppose.
>Random Enemy Squad Numbers
-The example the mod itself gives is that a dust bandit squad spawns with 9-10 units, averaging at 9.5. With this mod it spawns 1-20, also giving an average of 9.5 but with greater variable. Lets you find some lone enemies easier to train against at low lvls and amps up the carnage later in the game. Double edged sword but adds more fun.
>Nice Map
-Mostly self-explanatory, some different versions on what you want it to show. I use the one with most features (grid, zones, zone names, roads)
>Interesting Recruits!
-Adds more 'unique recruits' all with specific dialogue reacting to various situations. Livens up the part a it.
>Execute Enemy
-Adds an item to NPC's inventory that if removed while unconscious or playing dead, kills them. Same as looting meat or leather kills animals.
>Let's talk
-NPC's and squad members can repeat dialogue, without it most will only ever be said once and it's often easy to miss it. Makes the game feel just a tiny bit more alive.
>Attack Slots
-X number of enemies can engage a single enemy at once. There's 2-5 versions I think. I like x3. Double edged sword but adds some 'realism'.
>More Names!
-Adds more names to the randomly generated recruits, sucks to see the same ones appear all the time.
>Copper Drill
-There's a iron drill, why not for copper too?
>256 squad limit
-Basically removes your recruitment limit
>Reactive World
-Adds a ton of world state changes due to events caused by important NPC's dying, great mod.
1/3

>>16148507
<Highly recommended additions - tier.
Buildings, gear, "immersion" etc.
>Neko's Clothing Overhaul
-Adds varying qualities to clothing which previously had none (prototype - masterwork), puts stats on lighter armor to make them more of a legitimate option and lastly gives all gear at least some type of environmental protection.
>Coloured Clothes Redux
-Adds a ton of different colour variants for all gear, also adds them as craft able recipe's
>Coloured Clothes Redux Overhaul
-Applies Neko's changes to the coloured gear
>more building
-Lets the player research and build a ton of buildings (and stuff like bridges) that are already in the game but otherwise inaccessible.
>Interior Design
-A bit like more building except for smaller indoor stuff.
>Interactive World
-Adds a ton of comfy tents, outdoor storage, food cooking stations and gear crafting stations that don't create an outpost. New ways to get food like fishing and trapping alongside new recipes and some unique weapons and armour. It adds 'wood' as a resource which you labour from trees. With it enabled (if you start a new game) you begin with 'tech level 0' and need to research tech 1 in order to get what you'd start with in vanilla.
>Extended Campsite
-Adds more camping buildings, far from as much as the above but it's still nice.
>More Bounties
-More enemies may have bounties and are generally worth more.
>Escort Missions
-Adds wandering traders and other travellers which you can assist in getting to a town after which you'll be rewarded. Just a minor immersion mod but pretty comfy
>Military Crossbowmen
-Plenty of factions both large and small get people wielding crossbows.
>Enhanced Shopping Economy
-Gives all the NPC's a weekly income and enables them to buy weapons and armour from shops (such as yours).
>Functioning Market Stalls
-Adds traders to all those empty market stalls spread across the towns and enables you to build them as well. Great 'muh immursion' mod.
>Moisture Farming
-Can build indoors and get water whilst in towns.
>Legendary Weapons
-Adds 9 meitou tier weapons to the world, nice meches, textures and balanced along the same lines as vanilla meitou grade, 3 are carried by faction leaders and 6 hidden in new places guarded by strong enemies.
>Shrieking Bandits Expanded & Cannibals Expanded
-Same modder, adds new equipment (which you can craft) and makes them a more fierce force.
>Tame Beasties
-Lets you tame beasts.
>Animal Backpacks
-Backpacks for all animals, more or less a must have for above mod.
>Recruitable Prisoners.
-Just what it says on the box.
>Gusoku Armor Set & Impaler Armor Set
-Two armor sets by the same modder, both look great.
>Better Crop Fences
-Adds actual straight fences to farms, because my OCD.
>Bandana Undumbed & Fixed Ninja Mask
-Mostly my OCD again, fixes vanilla to not be crooked and shit, adds alternatives that are like vanilla.
>Wear your hats with everything
-Makes smaller copies of most masks and hats so they fit in the belt slot.
>Hive soldier and Skeleton head protection
-Lets these races wear a few hats, iron, straw rattan and tricorn hats specifically.

<"I use these but you may not want to" - tier
Changes balance in ways that some may consider questionable (but not in my opinion) and some things that may clash with the Kenshi aesthetic (but not to a large degree)
>Weaklings give exp
-In vanilla when fighting enemies that are 25 levels below you, there's a 90% experience penalty to what your skills gain. This changes it to 50 levels. There's also a version that removes the penalty completely but feels too unbalanced for my taste.
>Carry weight 2X Experience
-Increases strength gain by being over encumbered. I prefer it as an alternative to mods like your strength training equipment.
>Free the hair
-Gear no longer hides hair. Will cause clipping with some hairstyle/hat combinations.
>External Muscle Suit
-Female only armour, looks really nice but clashes arguably with the Kenshi aesthetic. Though I still use and enjoy it.
>JRPG Race
-New mechs and face textures, adds 1 greenlander subrace and 1 scorchlander subrace with these changes. You can also work some magic with the creation engine and make them override the default scorch/greenlander, I'd recommend doing that. They look great and lets you make cute characters, if that's your thing.
>No female muscle definition
-Because that's not my thing. JRPG race has this included.
>Crossbows are now FUN
-Makes all the different crossbows excel at different things, increases range and changes balance. I like this mod a lot and consider them balanced. I don't know if they're objectively balanced.
>Martial Arts Not Everywhere (one third)
-Most enemies have really high MA skill even if they regularly wield weapons, making their offence not really diminish if you cut of an arm. This makes it so most enemies meant to use weapons don't also have insane MA skill.
<"Fixing" Martial Arts - tier
MA is strong but has issues (especially with 3x attack slot mod). I recommend experiencing its flaws before modding it.
>Martial Arts Fast Dodger
-Reduces the dodging time.
>Martial Arts no Matrix Dodge
-Removes that dodge animation (it's really long and positions you in a way where you need to walk up to the enemy to get into striking range.
>Martial Arts Always Attack
-Removes the deadzone for MA's and increases fly kick range.
<I downloaded this game so I can masturbate to waifus - tier
Need to go to Nexus for these, I don't remember their exact name because I don't have automatic login on this laptop and I forgot my password. But not hard to find this stuff.
>Nude mod
-Guess what it does? To make compatible with JRPG race either make it so JRPG overrides vanilla races instead of adding new subraces or open the JRPG race mod and replace the 3 files you find that have a similar name to the ones provided by the nude mod. Rename them exactly to what the JRPG mod calls them. You'll still need to run the nude mod even with these changes, have it below JRPG in the load order.
>Sexy Clothing
-Slutifies some gear.
>Armoured Rag Short skirt
-Slutifies it.
>Rag Short Loincloth
-Slutifies it.
All of these modify base mechs and therefore apply automatically to the Coloured Clothes Redux mod.

is also nice
in vanilla, martial arts get new moves when you reach a higher skill level. this adds new moves to all weapon types. double edged sword. polearms become insane with moves increasing their reach even further and hacker, heavy and blunt weapons now heavy moves that deal damage all around you. funny with cannibal mods

>Military Craft
Been glancing at it, I see some comments on its page claiming that it's unbalanced, thoughts?
I mean enemies gain the same buff so there's that, but maybe damage mitigation doesn't keep up properly?
There's also the 'Power up by battle' mod which seems to do the same thing, which I've also not tested. Anyone got experience with both and able to recommend one over the other.
While we're talking about animations, the 'Animation Overhaul Mod - Crafting' which looks promising, will try it later today.
>Page 14
The end is near, we do indeed need a new thread.

Last time I was in Mourn it was over run with about 10 beakers raping the town like something out of an "not rated" version of Jurassic Park, I was only there with one guy so I hid in the bar, I did my part by looting whatever they downed before it got back up and gave some first aid to a few guys but now its a fucking ghost town, killed that Elder Gorilla though..I think the shops are still open because those guys never leave the shops.

I usually have this problem too, i finally made a nice base in a place with enought action (Pic related) but at the end i start a new game because now i want to get different squad mates (Griffin, Bard, Beep and his waifu Agnu are must have) and a new base but more big, better and efficient and even more clean and nice. I've got More Buildings and Azuchi mods so tecnically i´m gonna spend more time planning my new base than adventuring. I´m messed up, i know
>>16145628
I think the icon means the level of "Military" it has: My base started as a house, when i placed the turrets it changed into a flag with swords and finally it changed to city when i hired a 7 shek titty monsters kamikaze patrol for free but honestly i don´t know.
>>16148514
The Jrpg faces can be nice, except this monster >>16146492 for Narko´s tits anon get that chick to Chung for some surgery.
And if you're not into jrpg mod you can use the better eyes mod, it adds like 8 different eye colors to females (and changes the mouth, it makes them smile a bit) but you have to model the face to make them passable.
Also garrus are not totally useless comparing them to bulls, just put them next to the crossbowmen since darkness applies a 40% penalty to crossbow skill.

That's rude, I included a disclaimer stating it was just a model I threw together after hitting random a few times in order to test the mech replacing stuff.

You can apply the added sliders from JRPG mod without using anything else since the sliders just reference a .xml file with various parameters.

Honestly I think martial arts is balanced fine with multiple attack slots, it fucks people up one on one or one on two but is weaker than other options against many foes which is a nice change compared to other weapons.
08a630 No.16148845
>>16148831
There's 'not optimal' and there's getting locked in a pattern of always dodging until you die.
Which is cause by the animation being longer than it takes for the next enemy to start swinging their weapon, which is worsened by the fact that dodging backwards often puts you out of range whilst the enemy can still reach and starts swinging while you're walking up to them.
If this was not bad enough, MA has a 'deadzone' where you're too close for a long reach attack but too far away to hit with the second longest reaching attack.
It's good late early game with ~20 in your stats and you can take on 3 shitty hungry bandits
Later when you have ~60 in all your relevant stats you will get fucking shit on by 3 lvl 15-20 bonedogs.

Quick modding question.
Say I select a bunch of mods, click create new and have the new one set as active. If I then add new assets through copying assets from the other mods, the new mod I'm working on and have set as active will be the one that eventually adds these new things to the game without relying on the mods I originally copied stuff from.
Correct?
