I'd like to make a short announcement, since it's been many months since this thread was updated in the same format it used to be: The server is still very much active and growing. Our previous post reported that we had reached 385 members (beginning of October), but by this point we have achieved ...

As per usual, our monthly statistics from September, ripped right from the server! In the month of September, we scored a net positive of 109 new members. Overall, 129 users joined. Assuming those that left were all the same people that joined that month, we retained roughly 84.5% of those new peop...

For the record, I searched up "tailoring" as a keyword to see if this suggestion came up before, and it hasn't... so don't bite my head off if you've seen it before, please. This is a very minor suggestion to address a very weird balancing issue I see with the game: All too often, I find ...

Perception will be the governing stat for ranged combat, when it's eventually added. Survival I'm thinking of ditching because there's no real meaningful place for me to implement it. Mass combat I'm still unsure where and how exactly to implement it, but hope to add it in eventually. I know this b...

Hello everyone! I'm pleased to announce that the Kenshi Discord now supports Twitch streamers with efficiency! Assuming you're a member of the server and request it, our new bot will automatically shoot a message to the server whenever you're doing a Stream for Kenshi (and Kenshi only!). This suppo...

It's about that time of the month again where I update the post with statistics from August, and wow are they record-breaking for our community! Additionally, some statistics (which were marginally flawed) have been revised and corrected so that they're 100% accurate with no human error. I hope thi...

It seems that when the "trade" effect is part of dialogue in a dialogue package, it crashes the game of whoever tries to select that option. However, trading DOES work if you try and select that option while it is part of NORMAL dialogue and not a dialogue package.

Pretty sure perception is actually an adjustable stat for races in the current state of Kenshi, even though the feature is projected as being implemented... It is implied to be, as Matt said, in some way tied to stealth. If ranged weapons are ever added (aside from turrets), it might furthermore app...

The Kenshi Community Discord is the largest unofficial Discord server dedicated to Kenshi to date, with 1297 people as of this edit. https://discord.gg/5Z8qXPF We currently accommodate channels for most of your Kenshi needs, with questions being asked and answered on a regular basis. My main object...

It used to be possible to buy 12 ASBs in Worlds End shops, but judging by my last couple of games, that option has been removed :( Lost Libraries and Ancient Labs are the main places to find them, but the Machinists and the Black Dragon Ninjas have some in their towers, and they can occasionally be...

Just note that even after looting the Lost Libraries, World's End (Mechanist University), and the Tech Labs, you might still require a few ASBs to fully complete the Kenshi tech tree. If this is the case, you'll need to import your current save (effectively restarting the world, but letting you keep...

Recently I was thinking of making a mod that adds more bandit raids to the game, but I wanted to do it Rimworld-esque where the factions use procedurally generated names for added hilarity or to make them seem more unique across multiple playthroughs. Just like it was recently added for wordswaps to...

Not really a bug as much as it is bad luck. You'll only get knocked out if one of your vital body parts (chest, stomach, head) are knocked below a certain point. Limbs can probably go as low as a thousand if not more, if RNG decides to target those limbs enough times consecutively.

In response to constructive criticism, the "media" channel has been created to save space in the Discord channels list. It is a merge of the previous "art" and "advertising" channel. Additionally, we have made some amendments to the rules. As usual, a growth report wil...

After a bit of consideration, I decided to remove two channels from the Discord: one of which (the character channel) was deleted due to neglect, and the second (bug reports) was removed because, as pointed out previously a few weeks ago, that is the job of the forums. This post has been appropriat...

Personally I'm not sure what the logic is. I think every unique should be a fast recruit based on the fact they're supposed to be set characters with set personalities. It might be that fast joining was a feature added after some uniques were made so they didn't go back and change the old ones, but ...

Though speculation is dangerous, I have the following theories about the stats mentioned: Perception: turrets/ranged weapon proficiency. Mass Combat: initiative in a fight (how often one attacks compared to others?). Survival: either how resistant you are to environmental stresses or how quickly you...

Perfectly natural. When it comes to dialogue in Kenshi, there are two conditions with the recruitment option: fast recruit and normal. Most NPCs you find are the latter, which allows you to enter the editor and change them. Fast recruits can't be edited, and join your squad immediately as they are. ...

This is a simple suggestion for the developers of the game, which is directed at the modification of the thievery system not possible with the limitations of the FCS: Make the thievery skill require a "lockpick kit" item! It would follow the same functionality that the first aid skill foll...
