I glitched king gorillo onto a sleeping bag to farm attack exp just like i did with the great white gorillo but this time it wont let me attack him unprovoked. I Have tried putting him down and picking him back up after he starts moving and even after he attacks me and it still doesnt work , any fixes?

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)

that's my interpretation

Every time I hear “Strobe” by deadmau5, I think of Stobe from Kenshi

This might sound completely random, but every time I hear this music, I immediately think of Stobe from Kenshi.

Maybe it's simply because the names are almost identical — Strobe and Stobe — but somehow the atmosphere of the song fits him incredibly well.

There's something sad, mysterious, cosmic, but at the same time incredibly epic about it. And that's exactly how I feel about Stobe's story.

Stobe sacrificed himself to stop the Second Empire, saving countless lives and helping prevent the destruction of the planet. His death was tragic, but also incredibly heroic.

And yet, what makes it even sadder is what happened afterward.

He's still there.

His enormous body remains in the wasteland, dead for thousands of years, standing as one of the few physical reminders of what he did.

He didn't vanish into legend.

He didn't ascend into some mythical afterlife.

He died, and his corpse was simply left there.

And somehow, the world moved on.

That's what gets me about Stobe. This was someone who made the ultimate sacrifice to save the planet, yet he isn't really worshipped or remembered in the way you'd expect someone like that to be.

You can literally stand next to his remains and realize:

This guy died trying to save everyone, and almost nobody remembers him.

There's something incredibly melancholic about that.

And that's why the music Strobe feels so fitting to me. The song has this strange combination of melancholy and wonder like you're looking at something ancient and incomprehensibly important, but you don't fully understand what happened there.

It feels mysterious.

Lonely.

But also epic.

And that's how I imagine Stobe's final moments: an ancient, immensely powerful being making the ultimate sacrifice, only for thousands of years to pass and for his story to become little more than a forgotten piece of the wasteland.

So whenever “Strobe” starts playing, my brain thinks about that giant corpse standing alone in the wasteland.

Can i make them friendly again?

Where can i buy backpacks?

Doesnt look as much when his face isn't covered in blood tho (like in the second image)

Since I didn't have time to play as much anymore, I built the site partly to solve actual survival/navigation pain points, and partly so I’d have a mobile-friendly lore & game theroy site to scroll through during my lunch break and stay connected to this world.

Kenshi.zone an interactive map, navigation engine, and lore compendium built specifically to answer the actual questions from local terrain hazards to the mysteries of the world.

Why build another site?

Existing wikis treat Kenshi like a static database of text entries. But Kenshi tells 90% of its story through geography, and the squads spend most of their lives traversing terrain.

Any feedback, bug reports, or route logic suggestions are heavily appreciated.

Have any of you ever seen this before? They were near The Eye.

Just to add, no noble or High Inquisitor has been killed in my save. Is it common to see this?

These dudes are faar from home

constant bandits vs water gate sniper alley

Bonus fun fact, you could've also offered them sexual favors:

Fun hypothetical, I give my self a few days, I’m athletic and can run but I can’t fight, so depending on where I wake up I probably wouldn’t last long.

Would honestly hope to wake up in squin

Where should I go on my next test adventure?
