This game feels real dwarf fortress-y and it owns. The map is static though, right? What about monsters placement, etc.?

There are town overrides that can change the state of a settlement based on what you do there (Mostly if you kill/kidnap the dude in charge), but no giant landscaping changes. There are random monster/rear end in a top hat encounters, and the game will place nests of critters or camps of bandits in the world as you walk around.

Someone on the kenshi subreddit posted this map of basic political and geographical information of all over Kenshi. This has some spoilers, including some moderate spoilers for the hazards of the center of kenshi (written in black). If you've already tried to go to the center, you probably won't be spoiled here. https://i.imgur.com/oqH5zA3.png This version of the same map has the black text in yellow so it's harder to accidentally read if you want to skip over that part I guess: https://i.redd.it/5cr5yrtym0k21.png Ruzihm fucked around with this message at 19:43 on Mar 4, 2019 |

My fearless leader is a chick with a green Mohawk, gas mask, and leather jacket. I gotta find her some sick pants and boots. After nearly dying multiple times we are finally re establishing ourselves at the hub. Joined the shinobi thieves and I have my dudes with the biggest backpacks mining copper non stop while the rest train. Soon we are going to establish our own dojo and run down to the swamps for hash. Considering starting my own hash dealership in town where I will assault and enslave customers I don't like the look of. Is there any way to send mined ore straight into backpacks? I'm sick of micromanaging the drones

I'm sick of micromanaging the drones if you set mining as a job (shift+right click the node) they'll automatically haul any ore to storage after mining 5. of course, you need a house and a storage but that's as automated as it gets

Copper storage can't be build indoors  I build one outside Hub not far from the "rebel base" which is just a nice bar to chill at and sell my ore.

I had a good set up mining two copper nodes outside the hub and selling half at the bar and half at that rebel bas bar but all the guys in the rebel bar disappeared. I got a nice one time prize of picking the place clean but they had stuff the one in town doesn’t sell and he can’t keep his pockets full enough to buy all more ore. I bought a couple houses in town and pretty much just researched everything possible and built some training stations. Recruited about ten guys from surrounding towns and trained them up but even a decent sized group of starving bandits will still cause some annoying injuries when I’m out exploring and a small group of dust bandits will probably bust someone’s leg. The game is cool but I have done a LOT of grinding at max speed and I feel like I haven’t really got anywhere.

Death To Okranites Even though the UC nobles might technically be bigger assholes I just can't help myself and hate the Holy Nation a lot more. Private Speech fucked around with this message at 00:21 on Mar 5, 2019 |

A UC noble will sell his mother into slavery to outfit his samurais to go peasant hunting but there's a certain might makes right transactional honesty to the situation. Okranites believe other races are sub human and they are actually helping them become human by working them to death so that the good karma might reincarnate them as a white man.

Weird, copper storage dudes. I genuinely can't place it anywhere within the Hub, even in my house.

A herd of goats is substantially tougher than I bargained for. I am thankful to the goats for allowing me to slowly crawl back to town after they crippled all three of us.

I had big plans tonight. I thought that I was going to finish off the Holy Nation. Every base and mine and farm was raided. They really just hold Blister Hill and nothing else, and I had raided that a couple of times to thin the guard herd. The Holy Nation was just a station house full of high paladins, the Protector of the Flame, and their Phoenix. I outnumbered them three to one, but this was the first fight in a long time that I wasn't able to win through numbers (32 soldiers with 50/60's stats!). I should've brought my crossbows.

I love reading stuff like this because right now I just have five morons desperately mining and researching and hoping to scrape up enough capital to head off and start their own little town somewhere in between getting beat up for their food by starving bandits. My first game a bunch of bandits beat me up, slavers wandered up and enslaved me, then wandered into a pack of bonedogs and got themselves (and me) killed. Game owns.

I've had issues where I couldn't place something (particularly obvious when it was 'you can't put a well in open terrain'), fixed by either exiting build mode and trying again or reloading the save. Game just bugs out sometimes.

Goats are a force to be reckoned with in the early game. I've seen them kick the limbs off of hungry/dust bandits for trying to give them a hard time.

goats are the only thing in kenshi not looking to kill you. even garrus will freak out now and then, but a goat is always your friend. never attack the goats.

On the other hand, I've had a herd of goats attack the anti-slaver patrol for some unexplained reason. On the other other hand, I dunno if it was a mod or what, but a farm goat and its dozen kids were able to be talked to. Told them to follow me [bodyguard] and we just roamed around kicking the local cannibal's poo poo in. I had tons of medical supplies from skirmishing with the UC so we just patched em up and hung out for healed wounds and went at it again.

I started a game as a slave and now am a lockpicking and stealth master. Seems to be a pretty good way to start, and gives me a good reason to eventually go back and wipe out those slaver fucks later.

you can also leave rebirth with an obscene amount of toughness and kung-fu know how as well. it's probably the 'easiest start', as much as the term is worth.

It says some funny things that one of the easiest vanilla starts is the one where you begin in an inescapable hell-prison full of slaves, with no scripted escape sequence in sight.

With most of the other starts, you have to hope that whatever beats the piss out of you is content to just drink the piss for needed hydration and leave you alone. The Holy Nation Citizen start is probably the second easiest, just because the HN is small enough that you bump into patrols every five minutes. Compared to the UC territories, where you can wander the desert for days without seeing anything but giant terrifying bugs.

It's strangely easy to forget just how tiny Okran's Pride is when you're standing in it. It feels a lot bigger than it is, but it's maybe a tenth the size of the Great Desert... which is itself the single largest zone in the game, but still no more than a twentieth of the map as a whole, if that. Game is big.

When I was a nameless turd miner in some nameless shithole desert, my trusty Toothpick gave hungry bandits something to eat. When I built a mining compound and struggled with ninjas and raiders, my Spring Bat put down would-be thieves. As a treasure hunter, my squad with Oldworld bows dismantled security spiders. Problems with some roided out fanatics? https://imgur.com/OSiZGxa Well, I suck and don't know how to use images.

I think you can actually hide your cyber dudes. For a few months of in-game time, I actually had a base in northern Okran's Pride that was staffed by one white guy and a bunch of robots. Since it was walled in completely and the robots mostly worked inside, the visiting preachers weren't able to see them and I never got into any trouble. I think I could've kept this going basically indefinitely.
