Yeah, I've had my own outpost for a while, came back to Squin to grab some stuff I forgot from my longhouse there and it was a ruin again. For sale. What?

It's the opposite for me, I'm finding stuff I built during older runs.

I would never criticize someone for doing automated mining in Kenshi, but it’s fun as hell to smash and grab tens of thousands worth of treasure from a Traders Guild bank and run the poo poo gauntlet of everyone in town trying to kill you.

lmao if you didn't spend your first hours of the game just running a character with an inventory full of the heaviest poo poo you can find in circles manually till they hit max strength. One really dumb idea I had which I should maybe put into action when I got some time to play again: What happens if you make a fortress with the best possible gates, turrets and such. train up a squad of elite snipers that got 100 perception and turret skills and then decide to piss off literally every single faction in the game? I'd hope it ends with constant waves of attackers throwing themselves at your gates as well as fighting each other as Shek fight Holy Nation zealots fighting Skeletons and god knows what else. Maybe bonus points if you build the base in the fog lands or one of those beak things infested places where even on the quiet days you have constant murder happening at your front door.

Speaking of constant murder, are there any areas that are green and rich with resources but full of savage natives and wildlife? I want to tame a dark corner of the world (not Okrans gift)

Edit: Honestly, everyone should try settling around the south eastern coast at least once, the raids you get there are something else.

The Vain qualifies, in the sense of being full of life and angry beak things. It's more red than green, though.

zedprime posted:Obviously you mine with a few guys while a ninja runs around stealing everything and while you wait for shops to respawn you take the whole crew hungry bandits hunting while the ninja hides around the corner. I mean, that's literally how I roll. I've got four squads - my core team, my archers, my homebodies, and my ninja. The core team and archers go ranging on occasion to purge threats (and work the furnaces when they're at home so I can play pretty-pretty dress-up and poo poo out Skeleton-grade weapons and armor without having to leave home), the homebodies work the fields, construct the buildings, and train up on the occasional bands of hungry/dust bandits, and the ninja goes out and pisses everybody off by stealing their poo poo and hightailing it out of there (bonus points for getting the instant 15k bounty for trying to bribe the random HN inspector while carrying a bag full of AI Cores, Ancient Science Books, and Engineering Schematics recently liberated from Narko's Trap). I guess the ninja recruits people too (getting into Mongrel by themselves was easy - getting out with four new people was quite the challenge!) and is our consummate grog dealer (soon to be hashish dealer because my hemp farm production is way in excess of what I actually need to use).

I picked up this game recently and encountered an interesting, uh, bug? I was at the Tech Hunter town in Flats Lagoon, and a caravan from the Western Hive suddenly became hostile to the Tech Hunters, causing a giant brawl while my guys, neutral in the whole conflict, watched it play out. It turned out to be a gigantic boon for me, because I was able to loot the caravan's downed pack beasts for shittons of high value items which I immediately sold to the Tech Hunters in exchange for armor upgrades and stuff. The Western Hive keeps sending caravans too, and last I checked the Tech Hunters were getting overwhelmed. Sadly one of the shopkeepers seems to have disappeared, so I've decided to leave the town to its fate.

Yeah that happens sometimes and I don't think it will ever be fixed because it can be very amusing. If it gets really bad you could always import your save from the main menu.

built a base in the cannibal plains, the beak things wander over from the leviathan coast to eat the stacks of dead cannibals laying on my doorstep. for some reason there are also shrieking bandits, who are also dead in the pile somewhere. maybe some shek in the mix too? I dunno, it's like that scene from the battle of the bastards. all my turret dudes broke the 100 level skill plateau in like three days.

Turning the squad sizes to max and then wandering into a cannibal village is a very fun experience. It's a massive bloody mosh pit between hundreds of cannibals vs beak things, berserkers, cannibal hunters, and shrieking bandits.

Seriously, even just living near the Cannibal Plains will get you simply buried in cannibals, all the loving time. I built a base in Northern Coast and I get an average of three attacks a day, different tribe each time. Luckily, cannibals are incredibly weak, so it's not really a danger - but man, I kind of wish they'd just take a day off every now and again.

there are also three animal feeders, full of rotten meat from all the beak things that haven't been touched since the walls went up. the dogs have been living off a steady diet of cannibal arms and legs for weeks. built my base just slightly into the water, then left a gap in the walls at the back. maybe it's greasy... it's totally greasy, but some groups will get bored trying to beat down the door and make a swim for that gap, right past three harpoon turrets on a tower. the water is also full of bodies.

I got out of there after half my guys were downed and that was 2 auto saves deep. You can "wipe out" camps or whatever what the patrols respawn

So I've built up a base and for some reason a good amount of walls have their town ownership set to other nearby towns, despite me owning it. This makes it so I can't deconstruct them. How do I fix this?

How do I fix this? Probably because they're too far away from where you built the original building that "registered" the location of the base. I had that problem with one of the first big bases I built. Edit: To fix it, you could try importing the save file. Broken Cog fucked around with this message at 20:54 on Feb 21, 2019 |

I'm pretty sure it's also possible to change building ownership with the editor, but I never could figure out how.

I have awakened to the power of thievery. Stole a bunch of poo poo from a Holy farmstead, sold it at World's End, then stole a bunch of weapons from the weapon shop for upgrades and trade fodder for the next town I stop by. All this made possible by early game shenanigans where I kidnapped a dust bandit to practice martial arts on and swapped items while he was playing dead to make him get up and fight me, which resulted in training my thieving skill to 30+.

That's not all thievery/stealth can do. At night, you can use it to open up lost libraries/tech sites right under the noses of some of the game's most dreaded opponents (e.g., blood spiders) without needing to take a huge contingent of people to wipe them out. This is very handy for looting sites in Vain, because not only will there be blood spiders but there will also be beak things on top of that (who are very good at wounding/eating the poo poo out of your squads on the way there). The major caveat is that it will be really hard to take stuff home (as these sites often contain a lot of very useful/expensive robotic parts on top of ancient science books and engineering schematics).

If your ninjas are strong enough you can give them wooden backpacks to keep in their inventory, then pull them out while looting to stack stuff into. The hardest thing to loot is generator cores since they're so drat heavy but you can fit a lot onto one person otherwise. The encumbrance will start to degrade your stealth but then another solution is to post someone up outside the building and just hand the wooden backpack to them when it starts filling up.

You train your pack bull to be stealthy too. They won't be ninja stealthy but they don't need to be. They just need to get within gear transfer distance of an ancient tower.

I still need to train up my stealth, as it's only 7 or so atm. For now I'm just relying on being entirely outside of sight lines while I loot containers.
