Mr. Pool posted:when you have a big group of dudes and everyone has very different run speed due to athletics/encumbrance just select everyone and have them follow the slowest npc, boom, orderly caravan There is a setting on the bottom right that does this for you. It looks like a person walking/running. If you have everyone selected, change it to the picture of two people. That matches everyones speed to the lowest speed member with no loving about.

I prefer the follow method myself else sometimes one of your dudes get in water somewhere and everyone is walking at 6 mph turtle speed. It gets even worse when a shek gets in water, they're even slower at swimming.

Where do you get your first medkit? It seems like the Hub just has the bar and no other shops, and they did not have one.

The guy hasn't even finished the map (although what he has made is astounding, i love how different the swamp, border, wetlands, etc all feel). Getting your guys enslaved is pretty much a fully fleshed out cornerstone of the game. Kenshi doesn't really have conventional 'talk to a and fetch 10 of z' quests, but being a slave is an entire questline. I used to try to avoid it, but it's a really easy way to often get a bunch of stronger recruits. Random Kenshi tip: have your guy carry around bodies literally any time you don't have an explicit reason not to. You'll gain so much strength like this.

Sometimes he gets his rear end kicked by bandits but most of the time he's just playing the rocky theme song while walking around.

Twice now I've left my camp of 10 people to wander off on my own across the map. Both times I've noticed that my bases don't get raided while im gone. Are "unloaded" areas effectively paused? On one hand, my food supplies are lower when I return, so it seems like something is still going on. But the constant skin-spider raids seemingly halt when im far way enough.

I might install a reduced xp mod next play through because once you understand the mechanics pretty well the game is really easy to get established in. That or I might start trying to quasi speedrun the game from whatever start to killing eyegore (the hardest enemy in the game afaict). Killing Phoenix would be easier, but Eyegore adds a few more steps and a bit more challenge. IDK yet.Nuclearmonkee posted:Most of that kind of stuff is things you run in the background while you are doing something else. A dude hauling a corpse between towns is not something you just sit and watch. Stick em in another squad and check on them from time to time. poo poo that applies to Kenshi in general. It's p much best played while doing something else (like getting caught up on tv or reading forums or some poo poo). IMO that's not even a bad thing it's part of the charm. Besides, when you do suit everyone up and go on a ~serious expedition~ the game is entirely engaging. Every time I open it I play for a lot longer than I intend to. buglord posted:Twice now I've left my camp of 10 people to wander off on my own across the map.

There's an option to not have non-focused areas even load (which likely does that), but I've noticed that areas don't seem to load in until you've switched focus to a character there.

I generally have Kenshi up while i'm playing DBD with friends. If I go out early I can basebuild or some poo poo. Currently not keen on having to reimport the game to get all the research done, but apparently that might not be a problem once the map is fully open.

I mean reimporting is currently bugged for a lot of people on the current/experimental build so that doubly might not be a problem. IDK if it is only for some games or more widely experienced, but some people are having imports lead to all their buildings being totally empty.

Alternately, you may just be getting lucky.

But big chunks of it still seem missing, and the Steam Store page has it listed as Alpha still.

Feature list is apparently about 90-95% done. Next map section is also apparently close to finish and will be out soon, then it is just bugs and a couple last features. IIRC the biggest feature still to be implemented before release is to have cities/settlements/factions react more to changes in ownership and deaths of leaders.

I doubt we'll be seeing 1.0 this year but they've been pretty good about patches so far. Lead dev hasn't slowed down a bit since he started this project years ago, I think the only real length of time between updates or fixes came when he stopped to do some crowdfunding to increase the size of his team, it used to be a solo effort.

Finally got off the ground financially by going on a crazy theft spree, I do like that If they catch you you can still grab everything you can carry and bolt. Game is real interesting, definitely steep learning curve.

I started a new game, appearing as a wanderer in the ruined city of Hub. I stole some water and rum that people had left carelessly lying around, then headed north to investigate this 'lone shack' map marker. Along the way I found a rebel bar and a group of bandits, I led the bandits back to the bar to get beaten up then nicked their weapons and armour and sold them to the barkeep. Finding nothing at the lone shack I decided to head to the city of Squin, but along the way I encountered a group of bonedog puppies who rent me limb from limb.

I started my ironman game. I'm the son of a UC captain in this one, so I started with a decent sword and some shoddy armour, the UC like me, the holy nation hates me. Immediately made my way down to Squin and was set upon by hungry bandits, who were in turn attacked by dust bandits, who were in turn close enough to the Squin guards that they ran through and murdered everyone. Managed to get myself a couple of junk bows from the dust bandits and some standard grade bandit armour for myself. Sold what we could before the slavers made off with two bandit patrols worth of slaves (dudes made a loving payday, would have followed them around if they weren't headed up to HN territory). Bought mercs and a trader backpack with the weapons and took them to a couple of bonedog camps. My guys are levelling up their crossbow skills while the mercs take over once the dogs get close. Made a cool 8k from skins. Hired a second group of mercs (first group was starting to look pretty wounded) and took both down to the exile camp where noted Sh(r)ek Tora the fearless was hiding. Took out a few skin spiders on the way. Hobbs has been knocked out 3 times at this point. I'm still fine, they're not aggroing on me. Hobbs goes down in the fighting again (for fucks sake, least he's getting tougher). The mercs go in and clear the camp after a pretty huge battle. After the fighting is done I loot the good quality swords and armour, dump a bunch on hobb's unconscious body, give him some martial artist bindings instead of his lovely shirt, heal up Tora so she doesn't die on the way back and then we slowly walk back up to waystation. Another dog camp is just outside of it, Hobbs goes down again. At this point I can't pick him up and put him inside, Tora is on my shoulders. I leave him to the elements and go back to Squin to turn in my bounty and use my new funds from both the bounty and the weapons to buy a ruined house. I'll rebuild it, this will be where I do my early research and store this quite frankly ridiculous amount of food that i've managed to find (thanks mercs!) Hobb's wakes up and stumbles into waystation to rest. He buys another trader backpack, he'll stumble back when he feels better. All in all, a good night and a good start. dogstile fucked around with this message at 10:55 on Aug 22, 2018 |

I've managed to recruit Bard and Ruka on my Ironman game and i've spent my fortune amassed from my bounty hunting/animal slaughter on books and building materials to build the house and get the first level of tech all done. I also managed to buy hemp in Squin and research that, which is weird because i'm pretty sure that's illegal. Mining in Squin is dangerous. I sent Bard and Ruka outside and every single time i've tried, they've been beset upon by hordes of hungry bandits. Everyone's toughness is going up super quick. The dust bandits dropping like flies to the guards have been a boon too, now my four person group all has standard grade junk-bows and a good supply of toothpicks. Our dex is going up pretty fast now. Hobbs is getting better at martial arts! He now does 7 damage a hit!  I did reload due to a bug, I got jumped by some hungry bandits and some slave mongers came in once we'd won and patched up. As we started walking away some garru attacked them and it turned me hostile to the slave mongers? (-50 relations immediately) which was weird but whatever. Next step is to build some beds in my townhouse and figure out what i'm going to do to make money next. For now i'm going to continue trying to mine outside the city while I research, then I suppose its off to ruins or something. I need a Garru. E: Oh, the house also has a stove, a table, four stools and a food barrel. Ruka is our cook. dogstile fucked around with this message at 10:46 on Aug 23, 2018 |

I have builded my first outpust near the Hub, as it looks to be the easiest area with only some hungry bandits which I can easily fend off (and once a Prayer day came). As far as I understood this is the newbee area, as down south I got trashed by stronger fauna/bandits. However I noticed i basically cannot grow anything other than wheatstraw. Is it feasible to create another outpust down like in the swaps where i can grow more stuff like rice? I mean if there is a way to move stuff between outposts without actively carrying it (like an automatic job of moving between two containers)

I think, technically yeah you can through little outposts. You don't want to though, your guy moving it will get jumped and he will die. I would suggest once you're ready, just move closer to the swamps. Make sure you have enough materials to get walls up immediately. Bases however are not safe early game. You're going to get attacked by bandit groups. They will gently caress you up if you don't have protection (i have mercs early game, they're pretty good, the waystation merc group in squin can handle most of what the game throws at you). The benefit of mercs is that while they say they'll loot the enemy, i've only seen the captain (who had no armour) loot a cloth rag thing off of a hungry bandit. They pay for themselves if you get attacked. dogstile fucked around with this message at 13:23 on Aug 23, 2018 |
