just run with the performance mods first (like compressed texture) and play vanilla
then add specific mods when u feel the need to during play
this way u r sweetening the gameplay slowly while checking mod compatibility 1 by 1

I noticed this guy and some others in the previous thread were having issues with the traditional tech level 1 buildings not being available. If you've also installed the Interactive World mod, this is the cause. Interactive World (which I use myself) changes tech progression so that the character starts at Tech Level 0. Things like Vegetable Farms, Research Bench I, and Small Shacks are by default at Tech Level 1. You get to Tech Level 1 by building an Outdoor Research Bench and using a small amount of books to research Tech Level 1.
>How do I build an Outdoor Research Bench?
Step 1: See those trees? You can chop them!
Step 2: Use one log to create a chopping stump.
Step 3: Use the chopping stump to chop some logs into sticks.
Step 4: Use the sticks and a hacksaw to create a sawhorse.
Step 5: Use the sawhorse to saw some logs into lumber.
Step 6: Use the lumber to build an Outdoor Research Bench (a.k.a. a shitty wooden crate turned on its side).
Aside from Tech Level 1, you can also use the ORB to research camping technology, all of which is Tech Level 0. So you can research how to make hides into armor or tents, how to use wood and teeth to make primitive weapons (like a Macahuitl), how to weave hats from Ricestraw, and how to use forageable items from the wilderness to your benefit, like using Xander Root and Broc Flower to make Healing Powder (yes, they copied that straight from New Vegas), or harvesting Quinoa. You can even learn how to make fertilized gardens for these, although those also require that you make compost for them as compensation for essentially being a less-powerful, but more easily accessible form of Hydroponics.
>But I don't want to have research, my character knows how to build houses and scientific research equipment straight out of the womb!
Well gee, your character must be some sort of fucking genius. You can get around this and immediately learn all the camping technologies as well as Tech Level 1 by purchasing the blueprint from stores (either mechanical or trade goods, or both, I can't remember off the top of my head since I always research instead). It's cheap, so no you don't have to grind copper for hours to be able to build a shitty shack in the middle of nowhere.
And of course, you can just use the FCS to adjust the Interactive World mod to automatically start your character at Tech Level 1 like default.

also a mod like that could get another way to get characters but then you also have to deal with something like cross breeding to work with as well ontop of how the baby is gonna look i guess a small character slowly growing into full size over a week.
but then have like hive race almost have a super breeding with a queen etc
skeletons could build each other when you get enough parts or material
defeat Shek in combat for breeding rights
humans good old fuck or rape.
little far fetched idea
but also thinking about it expand on building/empire like stuff so as time goes on possible new towns/outpost waystations are built when a town/settlement village reachs a point and or farms etc races and factions start splintering off and or attack towns almost like defend lord of the town style attack and defend. so say enemy attacks wins that town falls under that faction.

is there a way to reliably buy/sell directly to and from storage containers?
i've got containers in trade range of a bar, but the same thing goes for the roaming traders that come to the base.
if you open up a storage container while your trading, sometimes if you right click from the container it will sell to the merchant instead of loading a npc's inventory ( which is what i want ), and the opposite, when you right click (or shift right click to buy all ) it'll go straight to the container, which is nice for shit like building supplies to not have to manually drag 50 of them.
the problem is it seems to do this at random. sometimes it'll go to the character i'm using to trade with the merchant, sometimes it'll go the the container. is there some logic to this? or is this just a result of this being an eternal (((early access))) game.

i did the same thing in a terrible area between the two cities you see automatically with the wanderer start.
i didn't consider some areas would be more high traffic than others, but the area i chose was a literal highway with all of the starving bandits, dust bandits, and another one that I forget; they were all fighting eachother constantly but also beating on my gate constantly.
the nail in the coffin on that playthrough wasn't this though. I sent a niggress shrek out to go pray with the annoying prayer day people, i'll spoiler the rest:
they called her a filthy nigger and swore to narc to the prayer king that i was harboring filthy niggers in my outpost. they came back with a squad to cleanse their lands of niggers and wrecked my shit.

on the current playthrough before i'm even close to starting an outpost slave traders came through and tried to enslave the entire start town. they largely succeeded, and ended up getting the fucking bar merchant of all things.
i looked up what happens in this case, apparantly if a merchant is killed or enslaved they do not respawn, that store is just gone now permanently. I couldn't handle this so I found the workaround, which is import the save and untick "load dead npc's", which will respawn any dead npc's, including the merchant. ( the merchant must have died, maybe this wouldn't have worked if he was enslaved ).
now I having a nagging guilt that I cheated on this playthrough and I'm probably going to restart. It seems like this is a broken mechanic though or not thought out all the way. The merchant should be replaced by someone after a period of time.
If the game goes on long enough it's possible all merchants would be killed off, and then what? What about traveling merchants? Do they spawn in and out of thin air, or are they spawned once at game start and actually roam the map, with the possibility of all those being killed off too?

many of these steam downloaders don't work, but this one does.
this is also what was making me think earlier that dev's who post on steam CAN make it more difficult to rip mods off of steam, this site works to rip kenshi mods, so the kenshi dev i assume has not ticked this anti-freedom option
"Ask the game developers to change the setting "Enable anonymous game servers to download workshop items" in the steam workshop configuration of their game. This should make it possible for the website to retrieve the files."

Buying good armor should enable you to go below the KO threshhold without losing any pieces somewhat reliably. Training dummies can get you to 15 melee attack without any risk as well. You can hide near guards and put the character in block mode to reduce chances of getting raped at the expense of slower XP gain.

Its best to use light armor until your stats enter the late 20s. I got lucky at the start too and managed to get two sets of samurai armor, and even though this isnt a very efficient way of doing things. Put the heavy armor on your fodder and kite yourself around so they take the hits. Even if their stats are severly reduced with heavy armor the protection still applies.

i notice the melee training dummy get's stupid slow right before 10, but the mounted training crossbow also says 10, and that doesn't seem to slowdown much at all. i've had one dude on it up to 17 already, and it says it caps at 10 which raises the question.

Increase encumbrance until it hits the "25%" Strength XP rate (I recommend a backpack from an expedition shop and iron ore), then pick up a corpse to apply a 2x XP bonus. Then you need a way to make the character walk around continuously. Supposedly this can be done by ordering them to follow patrolling guards, but I use a broken copper node pathfind near the Hub. Cat here has been patrolling for maybe 10 minutes now and he's up to 22 STR.

Also, if you want to get some free shit easy, get a character or two who are almost entirely based on the stealth stats. Stealth is turbo easy mode atm, so depending on what playstyle or how you feel about meta fagging, it potentially breaks the experience because its stupid easy to solo raid tech labs with one good theif

Alright, so I survived scavenged and scraped enough to get the ball rolling. I have a merry band of six idiots and two pack animals, and I trekked from the Hub to Flat Lagoon, then through the bonefields stopping in at Mourne, Catun, and the Slave Market. Currently healing up at the waystation between Clownsteady and Drifter's Last. Exploring is fun, I've learned to love pain and start fights just to lose and get some experience and patch up afterwards.
What I need to know now is: what is a good way to make money? Between all of the food and first aid I haven't seen north of 7k cats since leaving the Hub. The loose salvage, occasional shit tier gear I get from weak bandits and animal skins aren't cutting it. I'm starting to think I need to go back to the hub and start training to become a thief just to rob Squin blind and make a profit, or sit all of my idiots behind training dummies until I can actually pick fights with people that have gear worth taking.

get some cross bow guys and make sure to engage beak things with only a few dudes at a time and from opposite sides from each other. The guys who are meleeing should either have high defense or use block while your cross bow dudes run to the side and wail on the beak niggers. This is also a good tactic for pretty much everyone since cross bows are powerful as shit.

Polearms are good, they get a damage and accuracy bonus. As >>16206045 says bunching up against beak things is very bad as their AoE isn't blockable. So the optimal setup would be 4 dudes with polearms (or naginata) equidistant from each other around a each beak thing with everyone else shooting them with crossbows.

I wouldn't consider it cheating, especially the Hub merchant is prone to die due to no gate guards. I've had him die while not even in the town, just gone one day.
Respawning is simply a true/false variable available to every squad, there's a mod that adds this to all the vendors.
The guards of towns for example often have this option already toggled.
>What about traveling merchants? Do they spawn in and out of thin air, or are they spawned once at game start and actually roam the map, with the possibility of all those being killed off too?
Like all squads, they spawn then wander around and do their thing until they die. However I believe most are able to respawn.

Current, including the temporary stats.
The best time to train strength is when heavily wounded; I'll deliberately put my troops in harm's way with heavy encumbrance, let the secondary squad mop up the bandits after sufficient damage has been sustained, and let them train unbandaged to increase those gains. Added bonus of slightly increasing toughness as well.

Figure I'll follow-up on this. The forward base was a HORRIBLE mistake. I had the field hospital going when a squad of Paladins with their own Tactical Pack Bull spawned in less than 30 yards away. After I killed them, one got up, and raised the alarm, causing another squad to spawn in right next to the base. This process repeated multiple times because I was too close to the road, and just on the edge of the town zone, right where reinforcements appear. Because we were all so clustered together, every swing they do with those fuckhuge Crossblades of theirs nailed at least five people. I had to run away with the endless stream of paladins attacking the rear of my caravan. Every single non-comatose person was carrying a comatose person.

I wonder if Microsoft bribed some of the employees t do this?
It wouldn't be the worst thing they've done, not to mention a lot of the people at bioware are trying to jump the sinking ship with how badly their games are going, So Microsoft getting an employee to take out a chunk of their competitors consoles seems like the sort of thing they'll do

Run hashish or trade trade goods between townships, like grog or ricewine or some shit. Buy yourself a pack animal like a bull and go fucking nuts.
Alternatively, if you have a sneaknigger who can pick locks, go around looting shit with him until he racks up a huge bounty, and then hand him in for the bounty.
I also like the outland coin purses mod because it adds money to people in the world, in the form of strings of cats or whatever. makes it more believable since wandering people have money and is also nice if you're constantly fighting humanoids since it's a small bonus.

Keep in mind that bounties above 10k (I think that's the limit) don't decay over time and the only way to get rid of them is to turn the character in and then buy them free which is 2x the bounty.

I did some more experiments with bounties, there seems to be a soft limit to how many times you can turn in a bounty. I tested it out on the occasional bandit with a bounty. I brought them in, collected the bounty, then would run to their cell, knock them out, then pick the lock and take them back over to the warden and cash in the bounty again. Eventually he just starts taking the guy without paying.

There is enough stuff to do, but without building or having a squad, you will get tired of pointlessly keeping your character fed day in and day out.
I started the game in the same way, figuring I'd never want more than one guy, since the game is pretty hard. Once you get a handle on it though, you start adding more people and it gets really fun when you have a small army of 30.

As far as I know it doesn't effect strength gains at all beyond making it easier to be encumbered. +50% is as good as it gets for movement but you can get better gains than that through unarmed combat. Starving unarmed training has the benefit of dropping your damage to pitiful levels so you can train for much longer without breaking your punching bag.
Ideally though your punching bag should be a high level one-legged skeleton permanently bound to a repair bed living in perpetual agony while you beat the shit out of his every waking moment. As long as you're using trash weapons and self-sabotaging your unarmed stats the skeleton will heal faster than you can damage them.

been having way too much fun.
though my only complaint is that it needs more chatting with NPCs (more muh immersion and muh lore), more dynamic reactions to things by npcs, and more dynamic events (there are mods for this i think).
also a most important mod. http://catalogue.smods.ru/archives/4839
i think i started to figure out the slavery portion of that players AI mod. but without the AI part its not as useful and i dont want to import to turn it on on my current save. its really clunky though. wonder if its an engine limitation or the language barrier. toss the ring on them while they are in a cage, get them to become a slave, and command them. though they are still slaves and will try to run away and fight and what not.
i ended up rebuilding Hub but is there any way to take it over or ally yourself with the owners (holy nation outlaws)?
lastly, any tips for getting into modding this? i tried fiddling with some of the DDS textures to fix up and adjust he mods but i couldnt get them working. managed to get the desired result by using a file from a different mod altogether.

So luring in Cloud Ninjas to the local waystation is the stupidest way to make a sole loser into the richest fucker in the sands. The shirts alone can fund all research needs, but you also get medium/high grade light armor and medium grade ninja blades to outfit your up-incoming ragtag band of faggots.

Turns out you can do whatever, just use CheatEngine during character creation. I tested with height because it would be the easier to test and be sure that it worked across loading and re-opening the game
This is a 200 height character
The max height is 40 and minimum is 0, disregard what appears on the character screen when attempting to find the value in CheatEngine
Now for finding the values I want and whatnot

Hope this isn't a necrobump but I am just getting into Kenshi and loving the hell out of it. After a lot of dicking around and learning how things work, more or less, I've decided to make a Baiken sort of gal, went Rock Bottom so missing an arm and my goal for her is to become, well, a one handed master swordswoman.
To that end I am hoping to get a small squad at some point, get a small base and get some training dummies up to work on combat skills.
Any more experienced Kenshi anons got some ideas, tips or advice?

Hello newfag. Generally the usual thing to do once you get past the initial start is to buy property in a town and then acquire more recruits and grind skills and money. After your squad is semi decent I think the best way to experience the game for the first time is to wander around to any place you haven't been and generally explore.

Man I haven't heard that term since I used to frequent forums a decade ago.
Anyway, depending on how you want to set yourself up, you could very well just gather recruits to automine/farm and create goods to sell while your actual play group goes around fighting or doing whatever. Early game is kind of a mess, but your best bet is just getting into fights with groups of weak enemies like cannibals or bandits if you have a lot of people. Get your absolutely garbage shitters to just stay in block mode until like 20-30 defensive skill and then take them off of block mode and kind of feel your way out from there. Block mode is really useful for early game, can't recommend it enough, shit's almost required to progress at a decent rate to start out. You also have an insane advantage over the game by way of the pause button. If you're really autistic, you can game any fight you want by micromanaging your movements and attacks to avoid every single hit that may connect with every single squad member. It allows you to steal all the shit in chests even if you've been caught doing it, so you can just leave after you get everything out of it with the pause button.

If you play baiken in kenshi you're going to have a permenant stat malus due to having one arm, unless you equip a prosthetic but that wouldn't be exactly true to character, neither is having a squad really but whatever. Best advice is to use the stat penalties to your advantage and spend time as a slave hauling heavy supplies since you'll almost always be at max encumbrance. To level dex you can also wall a guy in with furniture then fire at him with a crossbow, as reloading a crossbow levels dex, the main stat for katanas. if you plan on sticking with Rock bottom the desert is not a place you want to roam around in and if you decide to not be a slave, go for a stroll into the holy nation where there's general far easier enemies like starving bandits and river raptors as opposed to sand skimmers and man hunters. Oh yeah you'll also want to run around a lot to level athletics so you can escape those trashbags as you do not want to battle them early on.

The UC deserts cities have the best mark up, but the vendors run out of money so quickly it's hard to move alot up there. Mourn and Flat's Lagoon don't give you as much per unit, but they don't give a fuck about legality there so you can sell to any merchant.

DON'T start in the borderlands. It's fertile and looks nice but the raids are fucking insane. I'm building a nice town on a road crossing with a hive village and Quin nearby and constantly some assholes come along, hungry bandits, dust bandits, the chosen cunts and the fucking sheks from Quin who want all my food. Fucking cunts. I've now packed my bags and level my party up first to kill everything in the region once I come back.
A comfy region to built a base is Flats Lagoon. Go on that little island there. It's pretty save and you have a quick route to the region's city and to Mourn to loot all the corpses there.

If you're not going to use mechanical limbs then the crossbow strat I mentioned earlier won't work. Bark is a pretty average city, if you want to make a ton of money though go to Heng and visit the Trade Cities' Bank, can steal a ton of money overnight and it respawns. Also if you fail you'll just get captured which is another chance to gain stats so I recommend it.

But that's precisely the issue, just a couple of years back they would have been shunned on the spot, now there's barely any reaction to the nonsense that gets spread around anymore. We know for a fact with the q shit and all the publicity we've gotten at reddit and 4chan that a truckload of newfags and outsiders got drawn to this place, there's no way the situation is the same as it's always been. Thankfully /v/ still has enough of its core left that you don't notice it TOO much, but frequent other, less populated boards and the shift in userbase is clearly visible.
