Motor Bikes as Fast Travel System

[Kingkill94]

I have been watching a tv series recently, that has a vaguely similar concept to this game, called "into the badlands". It made me wonder if the inclusion of motor bikes (that can be customized), as a means of travel instead of walking, would be a good idea? In combination with the style of the game now I thought it may be a nice feature. I have no idea whether or not this has already been proposed (or if similar ideas have been), or if this is even a viable request, but I already think this game is brilliant and I think quirky features such as that and parts that have already been included make this a really entertaining game.

As far as I'm aware, vehicles are never going to be a thing in the world of kenshi. I believe these were words from one of the devs themselves.

One thing they do hope to make happen is being able to ride on some animals (like garru)

The enormous map kinda makes me want a fast travel system that requires:

-Prior knowledge of the destination

-Enough food for how long the trip would take without dying en route, but allowing starvation without death.

-No one selected for the trip that is seriously injured, especially their legs.

-No one heavily encumbered

-Heavily Reduced stat gains (or even none) from the journey

dont really like these ideas. but.

The if using guides or a car that someone else drives shouldn't need prior knowledge of the destination to go there sicne the driver already knows its there. now if it is only the player then yes this idea works.

dont see why anyone who is seriously injured would prevent a fast travel.

heavily encumbered, thats one thing i hated about Skyrim's fast travel. should be allowed to travel any ways.

The idea of fast travel completely breaks trading. I like that the map is big enough that I might go on with whatever character and potentially never exhaust the map at all. But travel is pretty realistic and awesome, in my opinion. It's always a certain level of risk, if not much at all if you're that decked out, and there's a lot in just the part of the map we're playing so far.

But I think the most important point is it breaks trading. The game becomes almost point-and-click then without the same effort to get the goods to market. I like that part and would facepalm a bit if Kenshi lost it.

I say more NOPE here then on 9gag in front of a spider picture.

NOPE. Again. Kenshi isnt a game for fast travel, no way. Maybe move faster ? Ok ! But no freaking point and clic destination.

You understood, I really dislike fast travel ALOT. And game made with fast travel as an intended feature ? Well... Most of them are seriously lacking because the devs don't put as much effort into getting people intrested in their in game travels.

If you want faster travels tho I have no problems, but it has to have a counter part. If you can use it, so can others. But that would make the game even more... Difficult... GO FOR IT !! HAHA ! I want bandit raiders on guru back sacking your hard owned town !

The good thing about games with fast travel is that is is purely optional. If you like it you can use it. If you don't like it you can not use it.

If Kenshi could stream-load terrain on the fly without "LOADING" so frequently, it wouldn't be as bad.

I think you need to be fair as far as an incomplete game's loading issues being completed. The devs have said they're working on it, and I see no reason not to believe them. Hardly a fair point for radically changing how travel works in the game.

Open your map, pick a spot, and click. Do you see the flag? You're now running there. That is the best we're going to get, I bet. Sometimes it stops running me for some reason, but I've traveled a bit of distance with that.
