Jimbot posted:Edit: Is there a point to shopping counters? I thought I'd build one in a town for funsies and just sell rum but it seems like not a single person bought the stuff. Is there a town in particular that'd buy my swill? Not a huge, immediate concern but I thought it'd be a fun little thing to have. If i recall, there's a mod that fixes them, they don't work otherwise. Jimbot posted:Good grief. I think I rather deal with beak things than the security spiders. At least beak things give you an opportunity to attack, these spiders attack like two thousand times in a row and hit just as hard. I think I need to start training people in crossbows and hope they kill the spiders before they get close. On this front, you can build mounted crossbows in front of security doors and send in some poor gently caress you don't care about to kite the spiders.

Is there a way to prevent characters from, essentially, getting stuck taking out and putting in items on storage containers? Like hauling in stuff from farming. They'll just get stuck at the container with the items appearing in their inventory then in the container in a blink. Do I just need to set auto-haul to one storage container and they'll move on to the next one when the current one is full or is that wishful thinking? I've spent most time with my wanderers so I set auto-haul to all the containers, leaving nothing to chance.

That just happens sometimes. You need to mess with their job priorities or reassign them when they get twitchy, or just drag them away with clicks.

There's an Auto Haul setting somewhere in your squad settings. Turn that off and it should stop them from doing that unless it's their job.

Well, I'm gonna wishlist that and keep an eye out. I take it there is zero idea of when Kenshi 2 is due? From what I gather they've been working on it for years at this point, right?.. Should I pop down to Brighton and ask them.

It'll probably be a while, yeah. Only thing we know for certain that they're using Unreal Engine 5. So that means that game's swamp area is going to cause your GPU to explode and your CPU to melt through your case because it became as hot as the surface of the sun. Is there a way to fix my characters not performing their jobs? Does having too many of them mess things up? Two characters I have in my secondary base (a small one in the swamp, goodness I hate this zone) won't commit to anything despite having room in their inventory, room in the storage containers and unhindered access to the things in question. I did the Shift+Ctrl+F11, Shift+12, saved and reloaded, restarted game, removed all jobs then redid them. What's going on? Those two need to turn all that hemp and rice into stuff - I'm running out of storage space! Edit: This freaking game. I just culled a lot of their jobs and it ended up fixing the issue. I'm going to tear my hair out. Jimbot fucked around with this message at 16:52 on Feb 5, 2024 |

The Iron Rose posted:I downloaded this list, tossed out the 20 or so mods I didn’t want, it works great. I have no idea what the gently caress is happening in kenshi again which is delightful. Same. This Ahrnaa pack is neato. But there was too much happening, everywhere, all at once. I needed to trim and adjust. I ripped out Kaizo like how OP did, grabbed Reactive World and the patches. Also there was a patch today? A bunch of dev stuff and mod level stuff, they're back porting dev tools they built for Kenshi 2 into the Kenchi 1 stable branch which is neato as well.

I'd like to know how the other big names like UWE or Genesis hold up against that kind of world state malleability.

There are performance mods to reduce the impact of poorly optimized atmospheric particle effects (or disable them entirely) and cosmetic ground clutter. YMMV and possible conflicts depending on what other mods you're running, but this should at least give you a place to start if you want to try the dozens of options on the workshop.

Excellent, thanks! I'm not running anything too bananas, mod-wise. Just some QoL stuff, a few that make the stat grind just a little less severe and all that. I don't think those performance mods would conflict with anything I use. Edit: does that clutter mod still have that tree in front of the weapon shop in Shark? I read some of the comments about that.

On the topic of performance mods, it's p cool how the game goes from Crunchy and Dusty out of the box. Then you punch in those spooky computer toucher-y SCARaw performance mods that transform the game into a (faster processing) painterly kinda cell shaded effect. I'm going full bananas then wiping the slate, then full bananas again. Been a wild testing and reading time for me. Over the last week I probably put in 20 hours on the workshop and only 5 hours into the game and I kinda like that.

It was specifically food and factions. I was fiddling with 4 different meatwrap sprites at various costs and I was like "nah, I do not want this". I talked to Highlander faction to figure out what their deal was and it bugged out and they beat me up and enslaved me and I was like "I don't have the patience for this"

I've only just got the game and I've ran straight into modded gameplay as that's just how I like to play, but I've noticed some weirdness myself and I don't know if it's down to the base game or not. But I regularly encounter large groups of guards and NPCs standing outside of towns trying to pick up/drop bodies and it seems like sometimes there are double spawns of groups in towns etc too. It's an odd, janky game, but I get the appeal. I've enjoyed my time in it so far. I'm at like 40 hours and I've done gently caress all tbh.

The HN hates me now for turning in Bugmaster to the Shek. I don't care, everyone treats my characters like they're walking gods there and it seems like Stone Golem is the least garbage person in that entire nation, so I accept her rule for now. So, why did this dude have some ridiculously high stats? Guy hit like a goddamn train. As if it wasn't a pain in the rear end getting to him in the first place. I guess it's from all the human teeth in his chest there. My goal now is to piss off all the major powers, save the Shek, then start disposing them one by one. I'm trying to find ally nations to go with since each major faction seems to have an opposing one. I met the Flotsam Ninjas, so I think I'll head back there and join up. I noticed I could talk to Stone Golem about war. Is there any reason not to tell her about going to war with the HN if they already hate me? Does that just mean they'd attack my settlement on the regular instead of just being angry-mad at me and attack me if I run through their territory? I also took out the Southern Queen but I kinda regret doing it since I looked up what they'd be replaced with and that seems like it'd be a whole lot worse. Though I think it bugged out because I also saw that there should be some sort of revenge raid on my settlement but nothing happened and its been like two weeks in-game time. Either way, it was all in service of the Crab Raiders, aka best faction. Gonna take down the Reavers next. It's amazing having a ninja character just go in and steal the factions leaders from their beds - it's probably one of the most satisfying things to do in the game. Do blueprints for the Fog Mask exist? I haven't explored any place that requires them as I anything less than Specialist or Masterwork is icky to me now and those masks never seem to show up in higher grades.

Yes, fog mask blueprint exists, you can steal the blueprint in the swamp. The only place that requires the fog masks is in the ashlands, as it is very inhospitable place to fleshbags, and the gas clouds there are bad for your health.

I have all the other masks but for some reason the Fog Masks are protect you really well, even compared to non-mask headgear. Anyone try out the animation mods? A couple look pretty decent with More Combat Animations looking more in spirit with the vanilla animations. The others look really flashy. Any of them break the balance (well, what balance there is) in terrible ways?

What you described I've seen happen before in a pure vanilla game. It seems to happen when the police get pulled too far away from town, their AI bugs out. Filling in some gaps with a bit of semi-educated conjecture, the prisoner cages are theoretically in range to be considered a valid target, so they start the "grab unconscious character and put in cage" order but stop for some reason. My best guess is it happens when the city mapcell gets partially unloaded (because all playercharacters are far away) so the cause would be something along the lines of the collision meshes are unloaded which makes the AI unable to pathfind to reach the targeted cage. So they just loop between grab/drop/patrol. So maybe the issue is that running with a big modpack gives the game more resources to render and more plates to keep spinning, so it's more likely to have to unload the mapcell to save memory earlier?

Took down the Holy Nation. It turned out pretty well since I found and allied with the Flotsam Ninjas and was allied with the Shek so their territory got divided up. Only downside is that the fogmen infest one of the border forts.

Double posting to report that I essentially beat the game a few days ago. Every major faction's been disposed and replaced by the lesser ones. The moon of Kenshi is slightly less poo poo. So I did what any sensible person does and immediately started a new game: the slave. Made both women, one Shek and one Greenlander. So you get the added bonus of being yelled at for being a woman and a "monster". I'm about 10ish? hours into this game and I've escaped and been hunting cannibals in the north. They're extremely good enemies to fight. I don't have that tinge of guilt fighting hungry bandits and I don't have to run more than a minute to come across another group. Those scout outposts don't offer much protection but it does enough that I can pull the groups towards them. My combat stats went up fast. You just have to be extra careful as to not get downed because they will run off with your rear end. But since my characters are ex-slaves they're very good at lockpicking, assassination, stealth and getting out of terrible situations. So I'm going to skip the base building stuff in this run. It's interesting, if a bit janking and pretty fun at the best of times but I want to try something different. I'm looking for recommendations on a good town to base out of. I know The Hub is a good one and has enough broken buildings to turn into something. I just want something big enough that I have the space to make my own gear in. Something that'll sell the resources to make metals and cloth (or sell them outright).

I found a BUNCH of drugs in some abandoned place and was having a fine time selling them to a nearby town then one of the houses had a spider in it which instantly chopped my leg off. I replaced it with a robot leg (scout leg?) but am I reading the stats right... it apparently tanks my stealth by, like, 70% or some poo poo? Stealth and athletics are the only stats I have at any decent level so that sucks if so. Do these legs have bells on or something?

I always liked Stoat. Hunting skimmers and crafting is a pretty chill start. You get the stability of the UC, but can pretty easily cross through the center of the map to get almost anywhere. If you want a good base without raids or any of the extra mechanics like tax collecting, you can also build in the Black Desert. There’s a spot west of the Black Desert City with no spiders or enemies of any sort. You can even access water to a limited degree.

I'm not really a big fan of the Hub for settling other than for the fact that it has a lot of buildings you can claim. It has no proper gate guards and few town traders other than the bar, the other bar slightly north of town, and the Shinobi Thieves trader who'll only give half prices. I'm sure there's mods that address all that but it's a pretty lackluster spot for the vanilla game.

No taxes and if you get creative with wall/gate placements you can make raiders swim through acid to reach you. silentsnack fucked around with this message at 19:16 on Feb 17, 2024 |
