Unfortunately, combat stats in Kenshi reach a point where excessive grinding is necessary to increase them further so that your party can deal with the deadlier threats offered by the game. This is something I've criticized in past posts. Aside from installing aTrying to get back into this, I have a self-sufficient base in the middle of Holy Nation territory. I'm having problems leveling my main team, they can barely defeat a pack of dust bandits and it usually almost wipes them out, but their combat stats barely budge.

Leave them for a night overloaded, carrying corpses and set to follow a guy set to carry ore from a drill to a distant storage, and by morning you'll have them rivaling the bugmaster in strength and athletics (unless someone forgets to eat and dies). Dump crippled robots on skeleton repair beds and beat them up to train attack, dexterity and a weaponskill. Put a crippled enemy inside a building and line up your guys outside with xbows and turrets to grind, well, xbows and turrets (and perception).
For toughness and defense/dodge you'll have to fight actual armed prisoners and keep getting your ass kicked until you're satisfied with your progress. I tend to stop at toughness 35 and defense 70, that doesn't take much time (maybe 10 full beatings from a strong unique per trainee).

How many people are in your team? There's strength in numbers, especially early on. You can get experience a lot faster if you have a group of 6-10 running around attacking everything in sight. Equipping them with good gear also helps a ton.
Also there are certain places on the map where enemies just spawn non-stop which are great for training
Those kinds of leveling tricks are pretty annoying. Where are these strong uniques I should capture?
Where's a good place to get skeletons?
I don't have the tech books to research skeleton beds.

Is there a huge benefit to prosthetics or are you just saying dismemberment is inevitable?
always settle on:Interesting. I went to the Dust King tower but he mopped the floor with me. Ran off with a few of his bros. Maybe I'll whittle them down.
My base is located south of Blister Hill, it's really safe and easy but also boring, the spawns are all wimpy and the raids are just Holy Nation doofuses. "We heard u have wimin here" "nope all bros" "okay peace out bros." I've felt like attacking them just to make it interesting but they'd probably kill me and I'd lose my access to nearby cities. Time to scout around for more interesting spots.
In my one playthrough of Kenshi, I found a good spot in eastern Shem for copper, iron, and wind. The environment would limit the type of crops that could be produced, but I had already researched up to hydroponics, so it wasn't an issue for me.always settle on:
shem
northern coast
You want models to put more clothing on the women? Never gonna happen.Any of you guys have experience with Blender / 3D modeling? I wonder how difficult it would be to combine the Assassins Rags and Heart Protector into a custom armor model.
Here are pics of the two items in question (NSFW warning -- almost naked girl):
It would probably take some fiddling to get it to look right, but since the assets already exist is it something a complete novice could put together in an afternoon?
Kenshi/Kenshi 2 Development News
Directly from Chris Hunt, Lo-Fi Games CEO and the man behind Kenshi:
"Good news everyone! There has been a change of plans with development, and we have switched to the Unreal engine!
Now, what does that mean?
GOOD SIDE:
- Amazing graphics with little effort
- Better performance
- Less work for us long-term, as we don't have to worry about engine bugs and features. We can focus more on gameplay.
- Fancy features, like maybe cloth physics for example
- Better stability probably?
- New pathfinding system
BAD SIDE:
- More work for us short-term, porting is a huge job
- We have less control over the engine
- Modding support will be more complicated, Unreal is a difficult engine to work with and has limitations in this respect. I don't know the engine well enough to say how exactly. The likely scenario is "more powerful but more difficult". The FCS will remain the same, but will control less stuff. Mod support will be a high priority for us though, so don't worry.
- Kenshi 1 update now uncertain:
Here's the kicker: Porting Kenshi 1 to Unreal engine is now way more work than making Kenshi 2, because we have to port assets and make the old stuff work, where for Kenshi 2 we are making the assets from scratch in the Unreal-compatible way. We have started porting Kenshi 1, but I'm not sure whether to finish it because it is a lot of extra work and will delay Kenshi 2
So I'd like some feedback from people. Personally I feel like it would be better to focus on Kenshi 2, which will have exciting new features, new content and world to explore and mechanics to play with, rather than remaking kenshi 1, which would be essentially the same game."
To get some more definitive feedback we've also put up a poll here: https://www.strawpoll.me/18697532
P.S. This does not mean Epic Exclusive, it's just a game engine choice. Don't panic.
see you guys in 2031
