[Comic] A Little Break.

Sweetheart and the gang decide to take a quick break on their travels by dipping into one of the many pools of Shem. Highly aware of the dangers of the area, the determined leader orders the strongest of his team (minus Ray) to defend the vicinity from the dreaded beak things. All this for a refreshing dip in the scorching heat.

Another little comic that came into mind when I was in the middle of drawing a different comic (again). I thought: "Maybe I should have something summer-adjacent this time." So here we are. Naked hivers are cute, so I am happy to have a chance to draw them, haha. Also, I'm testing out using text tools instead of handwriting everything! Hopefully everything is easy to follow, but I am still learning. I have a long comic in the works, so please look forward to that. Thank you always for the kind comments! They have been helping me in ways I can't even explain <3

Characters (from left to right): Sweetheart, Ray, Gurgle, Truth, Koteshi, Hamut, and Stenn.

[Dialogue]

Sweetheart: This as far as you guys wanna swim? Might be more fun at the deeper end.

Gurgle: I tried tellin' them, boss! But these two just wanna splash around like kids! Hah!

Truth: Where are the others? Shouldn't we be enjoying the water together?

Sweetheart: Oh, they're taking care of some things. Maybe after.

Stenn: Every day we risk our lives under Sweetheart's command... I just didn't think we'd be killing beak things so the others can go swimming. And in Shem of all places.

Hamut: Come on, Stenn. Nothing wrong with the occasional break.

Stenn: Doesn't feel like a break.

Koteshi: Can you just admit you want to go in the water already, Stenn?

Stenn: I don't.

Hamut: Yes, you do.

Genesis finally beat me down into going back to vanilla (or a recommended overhaul)

Love 90 percent of genesis, I've been playing it since it was a pack and not all inclusive, it's practically vanilla for me now after over a thousand hours, but I wiped my pc and got the new update, and I'm so tired of microing out of my mind for every fight just to not get one shot because someone thought 6 of these were fair patrolling groups. Crafted full masterwork armor, went to a zone I somehow never messed with (iron step) and get hit for 500 in full op masterwork modded plate with 20 toughness by a mob that looks identical to its weaker variant. My main character has 85 attack and defense, and 2 generic camp spawn hyenas is a coin flip if I win without microing because their stats and animations are disgusting.

Shrieking bandits could literally kill catlon and the bugmaster combined.

Anyways, taking overhaul recommendations sadly.

Settling in the Fog Islands gives you dialogue gems like these

I set up an outpost in the Fog Islands, with the goal of having a well-defended self-sufficient settlement that rescues people from the fogmen's poles. Tanaka is one such rescuee. Others were less fortunate.

Questions

Ive been piling up hours on this game and still dont know lors of things about this marvelous game (maybe that's why I love it so much).

1- wtf is a combat slot?? Ive seen some people talk about it and i guess that's the number of attacks/defencive mooves you can do at a given time? Apparently mods can change that? I dont get it

2- What importing game mean and what does it do? My guess is that its a way to restart from zero without loosing your squad? Like newgame + but for Kenshi?

3- What's the hype with RE_kenshi? I can get pregnant in Kenshi now?? Will reactive world mod fuck up my game if i install it at day 50 in my current run?

Im sure i have more but that's all I have for the moment. Thank yall for ur attention and future awnsers ☝️🫶

The Project Continues...

Bridge between The Pits and Ashlands:

8 x Large Metal Arch Bridge pieces = 1440 Steel Bars, 240 Building Materials, 240 Iron Plates

2 x Lagoon Platforms = 600 Copper Alloy Plates, 200 Steel Bars, 400 Building Materials

Getting there, although half the time I load in the game crashes and I often have to fix navmesh issues but it is all worth it, Kenshi needs infrastructure!

I'm not sure if you have run into this issue before but if you are building a base that lies on the boundary of zones then you should have a character in each zone before saving once the blueprints are set, otherwise you will get save errors with missing zone files when you load.

Fog'n'Silence is inspired by Kenshi, Death Stranding, Outer Wilds, and a bit of Project Zomboid.

Our Steam page recently went live so any questions/criticism/feedback is appreciated.

Isnt it weird how that avenue has not been explored in the game?

Are there any popular mods that one should avoid?

I come from the modded Bethesda games world, where there are mods that at first glance look great and have tens of millions of downloads, but in reality will give your game cancer and should be avoided at all costs. I won’t name names, but anyone who has done significant Bethesda modding knows what I’m talking about.

EDIT: Fine, I’m talking about Arthmoor and his unofficial patches that claim to only fix bugs, but actually change working content and even add entirely new content like the ugly oblivion gates in the skyrim patch.

Is there anything like that here? Or even mods that used to be great but now are outdated/deprecated and not marked as such?

I got the assasin's rags blueprint too early

Im like 100 hours in the game, and everyone in my squad has assasin's rags. My base's industry is built around crafting and selling it. I almost want to convince myself to equip other armors, but then I re-read the list of bonuses the rags give you, and nothing seems close. Even just as a fashion piece, assasin's rags is best in slot. Who cares about left arm coverage anyways

Squad size question for a new player

Hey guys Newish player here. Was wondering I wanted to do a small elite group that could clear the game. Whats the smallest squad i could have and realistically clear the game with. 4-6? and im assuming they all need to be 80+ in all stats but still I think a small elite squad playthru would be a blast.

Purely Aesthetic/Defensive Bases

What are some base locations you like using in combination with something like godsend resources that are purely for the aesthetic/defensive aspects?

The circled area is a place I call Bloodrum Hill due to it naturally being both desert and swamp without the resource cheat, and you can have a massive uphill run for base defense.

A small research outpost beneath one of the more striking and intact ruins on the continent. It's at the intersection between Venge, the Unwanted Zone, and Stobe's Gamble.

Easy to spot from far away so I never get lost, three distinct biomes to tap into, proximity to Brink and Flats Lagoon are pluses. Constant rain from the Unwanted Zone side (some periodic acid), decent low level training with Beak Things and Stormthrall patrols. Expect Reaver and Skin raids, as well as the UC taxman from Brink if they manage to make it across the Unwanted Zone intact. It'll serve as a jumping point deeper into the Pits East for a base near Crab Town.

Skeleton Voice

Okok ive got a fun one here

Whats y’alls idea about what skeletons sound like in universe?

I think they either sound like

1.)claptrap (voice with slight distortion)
2.) helldivers automaton (close to straight beep boop)
3.) normal ahh human

In my head canon i believe they sound like clap trap when they are first made, and as time goes on they become more Automaton. Like i think Cat-Lon is damn near unintelligible in universe
