Yeah, I was wondering if there was a force-attack hotkey or whatever, just in case I want to turn bandit myself, or go nuts with Not!Kenshiro on the Holy Nation, but it seems like there isn't.

By starving peasants he means your squad and now you got a bunch of elite samurai with 70+ attack charging at you and that douche bag with a sniper crossbow is still taking pot shots at you too. Of course if you defend yourself its a crime and now you're wanted by the United Cities. There are no good guys in Kenshi. Edit: Wow Beak Things have @33 run speed in the latest experimental, they just got a lot more dangerous. That Guy Bob fucked around with this message at 04:10 on Aug 25, 2018 |

You can always go beat up on turtles in the swamps, their attack animations are so slow and bad they might as well be standing still all the time. This is actually bad advice since the rest of the swamps will destroy you. Sand Ninjas tend to be 3-5 in the United Cities desert area and sometimes you'll see a jounin wandering around by their lonesome. Crawlers can be found alone here too. Broken robots and iron spiders are usually solo but they're in the Deadlands area. (robots only no fleshies allowed) But if you're really desperate rarely you'll encounter two empire peasants walking around in empire lands with bounties so you can just beat them up for free. The true cheese is to unprovoked attack a single person walking in a group and hoping the rest don't come and help their buddy.

Which items from ancient labs do you actually need for tech/building? I looked power cores, skeleton muscle, CPUs and generator cores, any of those? I know you definitely need the science books.

Engineering research, AI Cores, and Ancient Science books. Everything else is (valuable) vendor junk or crafting components. The wiki will tell you which is which.

Copper plates are used to build the high-end base housing. "High-end" in this case meaning they look snazzier; there is no functional difference.

is there a more efficient way to get to the squad tracking camera other than setting a destination, right clicking one character's portrait, and then reselecting the whole squad again?

You can quick select everyone in a squad with tilde if that helps. Any way to teleport a guy, mod or otherwise? I got a guy trapped under some stairs in a house I built.

Turrets are so good it is ridiculous. Even at like 5-20 skill they're really good, once you have 60+ turret skill stuff just dies instantly. Everyone downed in a fight wakes up to 15 harpoons and crossbow bolts the second they regain consciousness. Also the friendly fire potential is just batshit, all my guys look like pincushions at the end of a fight and at least a few gets knocked by friendly fire every raid. You could also cheese with them by putting them on a wall segment, building a ramp, putting a bunch of food on them, then destroying the ramp and they'd be immune to melee attackers.

Herstory Begins Now posted:Yeah crossbows are really good albeit kind of a pain to level up with all the friendly fire early on. Use a low quality junkbow and let them just fire into your guys to level up precision shooting. Once they have a high chance to not kill their teammates with stuff you can transition them to a good one. Junkbows also fire fast so it levels quickly. I also generally just leave ranged off for easy encounters to conserve ammo. Lining guys up and pulling stuff into an ambush to drop a leviathan or other dangerous poo poo is legit tho. Horrible things like the bugmaster or swarms of AOE monsters like hordes of beak things get wrecked by massed crossbow fire.

Considering setting up camp somewhere between the borders for the Fog Isles, the Floodlands and the Holy Nation territories (since I joined the Flotsam Ninjas and they went hostile towards me. Do I just have to haul a shitload of Building Materials over by hand to get started? Also, is it possible to "claim" a town? I noticed that you can buy up and fix pretty much the entirety of The Hub, but since it's not considered to be owned, you can't buy power generators.

They are generally pretty passive so it'd probably be fine as long as you get the walls up so they don't wander in and get agitated by your people running around. Definitely have a lot of harpoon turrets up tho.

I found a spot on the valley east of Hub above the bridge that has 60 water, 100 fertility, 100 stone, and both metals nearby. it doesn't have very much flat land, but farms etc are pretty slope tolerant, and there's enough room for at least 2 L-houses. those lovely ninjas showed up again so I locked the door, they yelled a bunch then ran over to stand around the oven directly under a turret.  they didn't even steal the bread.

A single building with a cage(s) and a bed and everyone else on hold so they don't run in and beat up the training dummy. And of course locking the door. Its kind of weird how Black Dragon Ninjas don't have squad spawns but they still raid you.

Man, setting up a base is hard work, I've barely managed to put up a single building with a tech bench and some beds, and I've already had 2 Holy nation attacks, about 5 hungry bandits attacks, and a massive 30-something big cannibal attack.
