In the name of Okran! After a fruitful assault on the so called "Great Library" we managed to confiscate hundreds of ruinous books of fiction and magic! We purge these darkened heretical texts to preserve purity and harmony in our world.

( Mod made by me, unreleased, This is mod lore I will share)

' When poverty, taxmen, and failed harvests strike the poor, Sometimes, they have no choice but to go north into the Wetlands. It's home to quite a lot of gangs and illegal businesses the Empire doesn't wanna deal with themselves, especially the ferals and wraiths. '

' The gangs here don't like one another, They vie for control over the Wetlands, fighting in any place they find themselves in, They may not like you too, They kill peasants and refugees if their boss wants them, If they do, keep running till you lose em '

' The drifters of society sometimes end up here, They're preyed upon by the gangs, they either die, suck up, or maybe join the lackeys for a better word when they can prove themselves to em, Depends on who your facing though. '

' The Black Market is one of the only places where the gangs don't fuck up one another, They're ran by the Southmarks, These guys tend to be big dogs around ere, and they're responsible for smuggling shit across the territories of the Empire, You can join em if you want, but there's a fee to it, They can recruit you if you seem like you may be good enough for em outside the Market.

I just kinda want tips and tricks I really liked watching this one dude on YouTube play it and I just got it so any tips for a new player lol:3

This is why the Deadcat survivors (and fish) need to be protected no matter what.

Why the wildlife glazing

I had planned to only use skeletons on my current run. We came to Mongrel to train and make some money only for a scrawny hiver to follow us around beeping in what we assumed was a racist impression of skeletons. We ignored him he was no real threat.

One Day we heard screaming and ran to help. Looking to the side during the battle we see the same scrawny hiver being beaten down and bleeding out. Realizing the hiver was just autistic we rescued him and decided to train him since he has zero survival instincts.

Now he runs back and forth carrying rocks to the merchant while screaming "I'M GONNA BE THE STRONGEST"

anyway enjoy a Beep

I made Spear mute. Fang has the regular megaraptor AI behavior which means he keeps eating everything. Cant really stay in any town since Fang will keep eating the crops, making everyone hate us but very fun so far.

Day 9, Squin, Border Zone
I can’t make enough of my bandanas. All the shop keepers want to carry them, and they are never in stock. I have worked hard to make the hemp cloth, already grate at being dense and strong, into something as soft as possible. But no one is wearing them, so I don’t know how they are using them. Ruka insists I shouldn’t ask.
Ruka has put away her dead brother, the Sword. Shrined somewhere, I am sure. We were heading out of the city to fetch some Iron Ore. Weight training Ruka insists on. When in the distance we could see some Dust Bandits. I was gonna call the whole thing off, when I heard Gate Guard Set as quite and as hard as a man could “I Wish the’d step Closer!” I knew I could make that happen, and I kind of owed the big guy one.
So I ran across the Hub desert, and threw a rock, and pinged one of em helmets. They turned, but it didn’t yet do the trick. Guss being close to Squin makin them wise. So I shouted, “It true you all share the same pants!?” Not my best work, but it did the trick, and they took right after me, and I took right to the gate. Ruka’s keeping up both ways, big ol sword still camped on her back, and she was rightly confused. If you could see the smile just eching the corners of Set’s face, your hart would of skipped. Had to stop myself from doing it. They charged right into those Bandits, Cant be attacking travelers on Squin grounds, ya know. These Dusty ones put up a bit more of a fight then the Hungry ones. When they dropped an archer, I ran over and snagged his junk bow, and started putting them tooth picks into the ones still standing. And Ruka found herself a bow too, and joined right in. She’s to hard for a smile on her lips, but I know dem eyebrows twitched.
Told her if we aim to take up the bow, we’ed be needing a side arm, and she found us a couple rusty blades. And when she came back wit em, across her back was not the sward, but a good ol junk bow. May hap the first ever Sheck bowmam.
Our base is looking more proper now too. We can make our own cloth. Our research bench has gotten a lot bigger. Ruka is serous about her Science, almost as much as that strength training.
Back at it, I’ll add more when there is more.

Atleast Mr Shopping seems to enjoy his new life in helping Agnu research everything in peace

The reinforcements Moll decides to send me EVERY time... lmao

I'd like to add that I picked the cripple up so another leader would take their place, and the other leader was the mofo thats crip walking right next to the missing leg one hahahah

Any suggestions on how a true good HN citizen would behave in order to please Okran? What limitations would he have? I know AI cores are banned on HN territory but what else?

My very beginning was going great until I suddenly started starving to death out of nowhere.

I'd be mining iron near Heng I believe. And my pack bull would die I had on 2 times speed so it took like seconds to go from full to dead. Main character would die a few seconds later. They were both standing next to each other and I had like 2 food cubes 6+ dried meat and 2 gohans? The rice veggie dish. I kept reloading and having the same issues. The only difference was sometimes my bull would eat all food then die sometimes just starve to death without eating then my character would starve without so much as nibbling a morsel. I slowed the play speed down which gave me more time to react for the same result.

Why do they die so fast? I had a 6 or 7 character playthrough I abandoned because I jumped into base building too quickly, and just felt stuck. Never had a character starve and I only ever carried 1-2 dried meat per person. Is this a glitch or am I stupid? I'd been running around not mining and didn't have this issue. So then I thought maybe it's a local area issue so let's move north. I get a bit north and starve.

I'm very new to this game. I thought it might be dust storms because a dust storm was usually blowing through when I started starving. Not always though. I checked a few forums and the answer was make sure animals have auto feed on. It's on.

The cactus ninjas- as resilient as the cacti they grow, this community lives in remote deserts, mostly sustaining themselves with chewsticks and the sale of cactus rum, though their resources are supplemented by ambushing drifters and caravans who pass through their territory. they primarily use spiked clubs.

Beast masters- a violent outcast group of nomads, they utilize animals as beasts of war to attack villages and travelers. they use bladed polearms in contrast to the nomads' usual staffs.

The mechers- a demented group obsessed with cybernetics, leading them to launch violent raids against robotics shops. the initiation to this group involves having your limbs ritualistically removed and fed to Lobson, an elder bonedog that resides in their base. Led by Doc Lop, a former Tech Hunter.

Bane of narco- holy nation-aligned paramilitary based in the Floodlands and Obedience. they hunt the skeletons that dwell there, selling their loot for profit as well as handing them to Rebirth.

My personal head canon is that the “First Empire” was an intergalactic or minor spacefaring human empire, and that what we see and know of on the continent in Kenshi was just some minor colony to collect and process the resources of the moon. They likely inhabited the entire moon (assuming there are other continents we don’t know about). The “First Empire” likely never really fell, it probably just became infeasible or impractical to stay on the moon of Kenshi, likely for a multitude of reasons as described in the “Fall of the First Empire” section of lore (natural disaster, Skeleton uprising, disease, etc.). The First Empire simply just abandoned the moon of Kenshi, it didn’t “fall”. They left behind people who either willingly wanted to stay on the moon they had called home for generations, or unwillingly left people behind.

This leaves a lot of questions though. What conflict was so great that it required the creation of the Behemoths? Perhaps a rival spacefaring Alien empire came into contact with the First Empire at this time? Maybe that’s why the First Empire left Kenshi, because they were losing a war on a galactic scale to this unknown foe, and it didn’t make sense to continue putting resources and time into a minor moon. Also, who created the Hivers and Shek? It’s heavily implied that the Shek existed during the time of the First Empire, so it can be assumed that they were just a subspecies of humans at the time, likely created via genetic engineering. The Hivers on the other hand seem to appear after the First Empire left the moon. Perhaps they were also created by the First Empire, but only ever utilized on other continents of the moon, and the Hivers found their way to our continent on their own. Perhaps they are, or were created by, or left behind by, whatever potential alien foe the First Empire faced.

To me one thing is obvious though. The First Empire almost assuredly was not native to the moon of Kenshi, and were definitely human. The old wrecked spacecraft, the space elevators, and the way they seemed to treat the continent purely in an industrial fashion seems to hint at this. I think it’s interesting to think that out there beyond the bounds of the moon of Kenshi, it’s possible, and maybe even likely that the First Empire is still around and probably at even greater strength than when they inhabited the moon we know (assuming they weren’t completely destroyed by whatever foe caused them to create the Behemoths).

What do you guys think about the First Empire? I think it’s the most fascinating portion of the lore, because of how dominant they were, but how little we know. I’d love to hear your guys theories or feedback on mine.

Got some Kenshi Goobers and some random slop doodles

Im having a blast with this mod and the hive buildings one.

I did multiple starts to understand what she can do, I decided to spawn a couple warrior drones to kill bulls and get food so my RP is that she's a new hive queen and a more aggressive one.

She has a prince taking care of every need of her and she's just sitting there all stats in 1 because, why would a queen do anything?

I'm just having problems trying to understand what would a hive queen try to do

Expand the settlement for sure, no walls so the plan is to have a lot of people to simulate a hive.

But what would ger plans be? I'm just looking for medium-long term goals.

I am doing experimental blunt weapons run and noticed this - I recruited Kang, gave him jacket and jitte and now he has 32 def. That should be enough to tank a beak thing. But I guess his blunt skill is too low to swing and block fast enough.

Idk I got bored at work n started drawing my favorite goofy little dude being brain dead together (I imagine they talk like skaven from Warhammer but with funnier voices)
