This makes it so that any deaths are remembered.

Import Dead NPCs: Important story NPCs can be killed and affect the world’s state. Import Research: This imports all completed research to the new world. This includes all loot inside your base’s containers. Import Buildings: This makes sure your base and outposts are imported along with your characters. Reset squad positions: This takes your characters (and their gear) from all over the world are places them all together in an appropriate starting area. It’s recommended to make use of this feature to bypass the odd bug, or to undo mistakes in the progression of your world. This functions basically as a New Game+ you can do at any time by importing your characters from a save into a new world state. Import Game: An important feature of Kenshi. Since replacing a lost limb is expensive early on, it’s advised to change this during end game. (recommended “never”)ĭismemberment: In Kenshi, damaging individual limbs can have adverse effects on a character, and eventually permanently loosing a limb. Even if set to “never” if provoked, bandits will clash at your gates. Town attacks frequency: How often wandering bandits decide to storm your base. Town raid frequency: How often raids happen. Generally unless you are well prepared you want this as low as possible. Town raid size: When you set up a town, raids will start hitting. Global population Multiplier: How many individual squads roam about. More people makes harder fights but more loot. Squad size multiplier: How many people are in each squad. Options: These options affect the game difficulty but can be changed at any time from the “Gameplay” section. (effectively a New Game+) You can the change any of the above options, say, after you established your base, to make the game way more challenging whenever you wish.

Pro Tip: You can always and at any time import your characters & buildings into a new world state. Once you are happy with your settings you may hit “BEGIN” and go on to customizing your squad. This, supposedly makes it unrelated, however it’s a broken option and doesn’t change anything, leave it as is. (recommended 1)Įasy prospecting: Prospecting scales off science skill. Research speed: Similarly, how fast you research stuff. Keep in mind that experience is granted on working on something and not finishing it. Production speed: How fast labor and crafting is done. For newcomers a lower number also gives time to understand what is going on. Global damage multiplier: Like the tool tip states, this simply amplifies the total damage of combat. How major a wound or bleeding is are determined by this. (recommended 8)Ĭhance of death: Taking damage in Kensi likely means you also start bleeding which will eventually kill you (even if the wound is minor) if left untreated. Setting the number higher than 1 means it takes longer for characters to go hungry, alleviating some micromanagement and making sparse food manageable. Hunger time: In Kenshi, characters need to eat or they will die of starvation. (unless you import the game) The options are: (the last on the row) The bounty can be bought off later.Īdvanced Options: It is important to familiarize yourself with these settings before you begin your adventure as this settings can’t be changed latter. WARNING: One of your characters, “Old Soldier” is stronger than others but also a wanted man. Most other options are harder than this with the exception we will be going for in this guide: “The Freedom Seekers” where you start with 6 customizable characters, 4000 cats (currency) and a couple of building materials. That being said, the game does offer you ways to tweak the experience when you start a new game:īeginning: A lot of role play options here with “Wanderer” being the standard Kenshi experience (hard). If you want a safe, relaxing experience you might want to look elsewhere or patiently work at it until you are well established. This game is brutally hard, no two ways about it. Any lore references are based on my (flawed) understanding and don’t necessarily represent the truth of Kenshi. Author’s Note: This guide avoids spoilers as much as possible.
