Everyone agrees this game is great so there's nothing to fight about. It's also just hard enough it filters out the tards. The perfect game, really.
It's great. But it's not perfect. There are no Gnomes.
You can get a hiver and cut its legs off, close enough to a gnome.
It's not close at all.
They're same height and just as useful?

Gnomes would be very hard to play because the primary survival skill in Kenshi is running away from danger. Beak Things are one of the most dangerous monsters because they can outrun you. But with some advanced ninjutsu skills you can run in zigzag to avoid their attack animation. If you were a gnome, everything is as dangerous as a Beak Thing, so you would have to rely on really advanced ninjutsu skills. And these are not skills that your character learns, but yourself microing movements like a maniac with many clicks. Advanced Kenshi is really popamole and hacky, it is best to roleplay and accept defeat when a Beak Thing spots you.

This is entirely wrong. Gnomes have survived millennia of Griffon attacks and beak things are tame in comparison. Beak things would be a fertilizer supply for turnip plantations.

Gnomes only survived because they taste as bad as they look, so in an universe with abundant resources, Griffons prefer to hunt tastier and less smelly prey.

>Uhhhhh so what mods do you guys recommend for this endlessly replayable game that reached the very peak of emergent gameplay
You're watering down a perfect experience you fucking plebeians. The hoi polloi these days, I swear.

What are the current recommended mods?

There are no must-haves, perhaps apart from those that increase performance in slower machines. Once you find out the game the is actually extremely easy, you can start looking for mods that make it more challenging in various ways, but they're all things you can change in the editor yourself.
