I own an Eagles Cross for home defense, since that's what the founding Phoenixs intended.

Four darkened ones break into my house. I shouted, "What the Narko?"

I grab my Bucket Zukin and Holy crossbow, and blow a chalice sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my toothpick on the second man, miss him entirely because it's shoddy and nails the neighbors bonedog.

I have to resort to the turret mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with dual harpoons, "Divine blessings lads!" The harpoons shred two shek in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel raise alarms.

Fix ninja blade and charge the last terrified beast. He bleeds out waiting on the sentinals to arrive since triangular ninja blade wounds are impossible to stitch up.

Ah yes,

Just as the founding Phoenixs intended.

I took the LIVE review of Kenshi Multiplayer yesterday and condensed it to a short video for anyone who couldn't make it. We hit 94 players at peak on the server. Was amazing.

I have received my beep plushie and it’s amazing in mind.

But then you look outside.

"Man, you gotta try this, just try Kenshi, bro trust me," says my friend. Then he just sits there and laughs like how is this fun for him? I feel like a hamster in a social experiment.

I read the tutorial, learned basically nothing. Spawn as a human male, check my stats 1 in everything. Great. Went outside and died to some random mob. Respawned, explored the town can’t buy or do anything, everything costs money. I want to buy some ruined house but need money. Went outside, got ambushed by like 20 guys. Like what the fuck?

Meanwhile he’s just laughing the whole time.

Respawn again, check the town again, maybe I missed something. Picked up empty bottles and bowls and whatever, sold it, got nothing. Went outside again, some group of 10 men attacked me no idea why. Ran up north to some bar, some dudes helped me out by clearing them in 2 hits. Went outside, got a sword and helmet from some dead body. Some guy woke up I thought great, he’s weak, I’ll attack him. I couldn’t land a single hit. He knocks me out, I get a “dying” status, and I die.

This is my mod list after 1,250 hours of gameplay. There are no new races, tons of unbalanced armor, or unlore weapons. I’ve simply polished and enhanced the vanilla experience.

I’d like to know if I’ve missed anything that you think would fit well with this list? This question is primarily for those who prefer a similar style of modlist.

As always in my videos I get straight to the point. I also cover stuff like how the chatbot works in the mod, a bit of history about the mod creator, rules and what to do if you get stuck/experience a bug.

If you have some spare time, please check it out, and maybe even Hero's video I put in the pinned comment!

After 4 months he arrived, and he has an enormous head. Absolute peak.

I am trying to first make a sleeping bag after buying from the shop , either it is showing eternity or may be I don't know how to sleep using sleeping bag can anyone tell me

My squad was eaten by fish-people.

Do you think the high flat dmg of the eagle is better than the old bow DPS?

So my Kenshi playthrough has gotten so intense I’m starting to have actual anxiety and starting to cry actual tears for these little idiot virtual people. I’ve been very slowly developing a narrative, characters, philosophical narrative on freedom what it means etc based on this playthrough.
And I mean REALLY developing it. At this point it’s basically a sprawling multi-generational political tragedy with distinct narrative arcs, character development, ideological contradictions, recurring motifs, and an increasingly elaborate cast of characters who have developed actual relationships with one another.
The main character is an escaped slave whose wife was murdered by a theocratic empire. He begins the story consumed by revenge, gradually builds a found family, essentially adopts a young girl, and eventually becomes so horrified by the violence he’s committed in the name of liberation that he abandons his revolutionary ambitions to establish a peaceful farming settlement.
Except the world won’t let him have that either, and now he’s preparing to wage a revolutionary war against the United Cities.
Meanwhile his adopted daughter, who began the story as a bright-eyed innocent kid, has progressively internalized the idea that freedom can only be achieved through strength and that strength means being willing to do absolutely whatever is necessary, inspired by another character who committed war atrocities. Their relationship is beginning to fracture because she’s becoming the very sort of person her father is increasingly horrified by.
And NONE OF THIS WAS PLANNED. Almost all of it has emerged organically from shit that actually happened in-game, which I then interpret and incorporate into the ongoing narrative.
I have characters whose deaths genuinely devastated me. I have characters whose relationships have developed over dozens of hours. I have an entire chronology of events and I’m genuinely considering turning the whole thing into an original novel series because the story has gotten so fucking enormous.
I feel like I’m losing my fucking mind. I’m not even really playing Kenshi anymore. I’m watching an entire fictional history unfold and getting emotionally destroyed by it.
Does anyone else go this insanely hard with emergent storytelling in sandbox games? Like, do you actually construct coherent long-form narratives around your playthroughs, or have I gone insane

About 50 hours in 174 days later i finally have the 2 most powerful npcs guarding my throne i used to watch so many kenshi playthroughs and now i have a laptop i can finally play it myself, i can feel this is definitely gna become one of my favourite games. Any suggestions on what i could do for a follow up playthrough? I was thinking holy nation.

I didn't post much more on the channel but I thought I might if somebody cares.

I have a very odd trio of plushies...

So I tried Kenshi Genesis alongside Re_Kenshi and I have mixed feelings. I've recognized some mods in the pack and some I saw for the first time. I gotta say it ran swiggity smoothly on my laptop which is not exactly a high end computer and I didn't experience infinite load times and constant crashes which I had been concerned about.

I gotta say the Border Zone looked amazing and lively. I liked the new characters and gear even though I'm not big on armor/faction mods. It was really refreshing how I could go exactly to the same copper node outside The Hub for an early cash boost. To my surprise(I'm a true-blue mining maniac in Kenshi) I also found copper's price reduction quite refreshing. Now I mined iron as it wasn't much cheaper and my starting character needed to train strength as my good friend Blitz the southern hiver spawned with -9 strength, but it stopped being an issue once I spotted some scavengers(belonging to a new faction 'Scavengers') attacking a merchant that had a heavy ass wooden backpack full of robotics and medical supplies. Needless to say strength training and money was no longer a problem. I quickly went on to research a crossbow locker(to remove the stolen tag from items I appropriated) and hired some new and frankly quite interesting albeit a little corny new recruits(20500C in total and I was still loaded). Overall an interesting experience and I'm sure there is endless new content to explore.

I did find many things annoying though. Tech level 1 research was already a clusterfuck due to the countless mods that are included. I also found the plethora of new food items pointless and even frustrating when I found out most, if not all of the new foods cannot be contained in a Food Barrel(a new food container). There might be a solution for this later on the tech tree somewhere down the line or a patch mod that fixes this. I also saw a drink storage as well as shelves(researchable or otherwise, I dunno) which exclusively hold either food or drinks which might be a solution for my problem, but it was just a big ass red flag for me. To quote my gal Ruka: "I don't care for it." I don't need salted and plain variations of the same 15-20 nutrient value food/drink items and I suspect that there will be plenty of 'filler' content should I keep on using Genesis.

All in all I was smiling and laughing a lot while exploring the beginner aeria and the map did look astoundingly beautiful and detailed. I recommend trying out Genesis for new and veteran players alike. I, however, will leave it for now and assemble my own mod pack.

Do you guys use Reshade in Kenshi? If so, which ones? I use Ranno's Reshade Preset and Dust along with other graphics mods, and I have to say, my game looks like Kenshi 2 :)

(The third image turned out really cute; it looks like a gentle head rub.<3)

I’m not that into Disney or Star Wars, but the Star Wars areas in Disney Land and Disney World have strong Kenshi or post-apocalyptic desert sci-fi vibes, the scale and detail is pretty impressive.

I haven't checked all of them but i don't recall tech hunters ever allied to the holy nation, maybe it's not tied to relations but the AI or such?

So I downloaded a few mods and couldn't play as I couldn't understand how to deal with the forgotten construction set. I gave up and uninstalled the mods but that same thing keeps popping up when I boot the game. How do I get rid of it? How can I play modded? please help TwT
Sorry for my Enlgish btw
