I usually settle in Mongrel after a slave start and make regular “training runs” into Fogmen territory to boost my weak hirelings.

I too hope Kenshi 2 has a job system more in line with Rimworld.

I'm curious, would a turret placed behind one of the top floor windows in a Type III Outpost be able to shoot through them, or would they block it like a wall does? I'm doubtful, because there are no specific turret hardpoints on them.

The devs seem to post a lot about things I don't care about and nothing about Kenshi 2 (something I care dearly about).

I am incredibly late to the party, but this is a really good game. Janky, but good. It reminds me so much of Morrowind, but balls harder.

Been playing this on an off for years. I had an exploration party go to world's end, recruit like 6 people, start making my way back to the hub, get steamrolled by 3 cannibal patrols at once, spend a few IRL hours dealing with that, walk past the floodlands, get steamrolled by a broken skeleton and his iron spider pet, repeatedly with reloads, after reloading enough times to avoid that fight, go slighty though obedience, get steamrolled by 3 broken skeletons and 5 iron spiders at once, I have never seen that many at once, spend an hour with that, barely leaving obedience, get steamrolled by like 5 fog bugman patrols, had to wait until night to get everyone out, start sneaking though okran lands, get steamrolled by 2 inquisitor patrols, we get up and heal, immediately steamrolled again by a different patrol, repeat 5 times, Finally made my way back to base with exploration party, 2 missing limbs, 3 people with other limbs in negative hundreds of damage, Total loot, 4 ancient science books, 2 skeleton recruits, 4 greenlander recruits, lots of wasted time. I learned if you stealth knocked out the prayer day leader they'll leave and never bother you again. SugarAddict fucked around with this message at 01:44 on Jun 1, 2023 |

Just bought this yesterday since it was half off. Started as a Wanderer and walked to the nearest town. Is the map randomly generated each game?

I've played Kenshi a couple different ways: a full squad with the story/unique recruits, a full skeleton robo horde, a sprawling base, a smaller in-town setup, and a solo ninja. Now I'm playing with smaller 6 man squad of permanently itinerant hobos who live off the land, hunting garrus, grilling their meat on open campfires, and limping back to town to sell their hides and rest up in rented beds. This time I'm mixing things up by having each member specialize in a different weapon type and also wearing an eclectic mix of armor rather than optimizing everyone in the same suit of samurai plate, cyber limbs, and Falling Suns by the endgame. I think I'll purposefully keep it small scale like this since not having to manage a base or a mess of units has been both chill and challenging at the same time. I'm liking it a lot so far.

I did a Road Trip game of six skeletons. The reason they each specialized in a different weapon was that the point of the game was to acquire all the meitou weapons (one each).

I started again last night and i've never actually restored the hub, so I guess i'm doing that with a few people before I move on. I think i'm just going to fix up each city, very peaceful like.

I typically have a guy set to not help out in combat if i'm just doing stuff around a town in case my guys outside get jumped and need to be patched up (you can and should let this happen if the people jumping you are starving bandits, losing the food isn't such a big deal and you gain toughness from it). The guy inside is usually just doing some research/etc if he's not needed to drag people home. Hobbs sometimes spawns in the main town (hub) and you can recruit him for free (he hasn't shown up for me in the past like 6 games though). In the shek town below (it should be on your map, the name is escaping me right now) you can find ruka who will join you for free if you don't call her a coward and tell her that you fight until you die in battle. dogstile fucked around with this message at 12:10 on Jun 16, 2023 |

Getting up while playing dead especially makes you extremely tough extremely fast.

Brother, fuckin same. Every single time I find myself doing a drug run from the swamps to Bo Shatai or whatever. Every constellation of modpacks have this loop and I fall into it every single time.

It is hard to resist the urge to industrialize. Sometimes I'll go hey I have a lot of animal hides from hunting garrus, I should just buy a small shack to set up a tanning bench, and if I can get some fabric I could also start making lighter armor, maybe I should make just a tiny farming plot for cotton, and then... But I'm determined to go no-base this run and just wander the land. It is in some respects harder because I have to depend on enemy drops, stores, and busting open ancient buildings for my gear. On the other hand, it's easier because my guys are constantly fighting and improving their combat stats. More importantly, it's very freeing not having to manage a base and supply chains and defenses. I just hunt wildlife for my daily bread, turn in the occasional bandit boss bounty, find a hodgepodge of gear, and explore interesting locales.

Getting up while playing dead especially makes you extremely tough extremely fast. yeah the game is very much about Losing Is Fun, in a more concrete way than just about any other game that claims this slogan. Getting your rear end kicked and getting back up is how you win. Getting limbs amputated just makes you tougher and gives you a chance to upgrade.

I tried starting a new game with a group of industry guys, immediately tried to build a shack outside of town and they couldn't go inside. Apparently that's been a bug for people since about 2017, which some people insist has been fixed, or is easily fixable by doing one little trick, none of which worked for me. After dismantling my building to rebuild it in a slightly different position, a group of bandits and some giant insects came and murdered my skeletons. The wanderer game is going pretty well though, I bought some maps and walked across big sprawls of land to visit different towns, met some new people and accepted that it's useful to have people in different places doing different things so they don't all inevitably die when you accidentally walk into a group of enemies because you stopped paying attention to that monitor for 5 seconds on the fastest game speed. It's funny how skeletons can still crawl even when all limbs are completely dead. The game is making me think of a different, harsh, perspective of Morrowind? When you walked out to the desert towns like Maar Gan with dead plants everywhere, there would be people travelling in little caravans, dust storms, and ancient ruins around the place. You go into town and there's a faction HQ, a bar, different traders, sometimes there's people to fence stolen goods. The TES series got way more friendly, but this game has animals eating your squad members alive while the guy next to them is unconscious and travellers are walking past to take advantage of the distraction.

When I made a dude max height in the character customizer, he would sometimes have trouble going through doors into buildings. Also sometimes, even though building placement will be green and allowed, a completed building for me might not play well with pathfinding if some of the terrain ends up clipping through it. Maybe that's what was happening for you?
