Questions about the game.

[1stratos1]

Would love to know if there are some "features" in the game, or they will be later or they wont ever be etc.

1. Does the other fanctions have/will have some type of culture? Like some are more cruel or dunno whatever that make them more unique/special

2. Does others/other fanctions can build/expand their city/ies or build a new one or a new outpost?
Or they are doomed havign this one?

3. Can we burn to the groung outposts/cities??? i guess if #2 is a no this one is a no as well.
Or take over a city and hold it as ur own??


4. I see to the right side of the name a Nameless state, at start i thought it was for fame or something, then i though it was from fanction but it never changes when i changed the name (maybe its a buf).
BUT do we ll have fame for each character/npc or for a group/fanction?
Like dunno psycho killers, saviors, etc that could affect a bit some people's reaction when they recognize us.

5. In crafting u can only make swords like model 5/6/7/8 etc? or u can create better models/rarity depending on ur craftign skills, plus maybe some legendary recipes, or legendary rarity cause of "luck" and high craftign skill that could make some weapons more unique,valuable etc. same for armors etc. Like be bale to make masterpieces if u are lucky, but also make ur own weapons not the same 2/3 models everyone have. maybe change a bit the weight,speed, damage etc "costumize" ?


6. Does traders really come and buy things from ur town? i have there some weapons armors etc that took from some fights but never saw anyone coming and buy from me...

7. Do weapons have different reach?i think its a yes but not sure if its weapon depenable or weapon type dependable (katana,trooper,heavy sword)

Thats all for now, thnx for ur time and hope u got some answers ^_^

1. Lore is being worked on so we really don't know
2, NPC outposts are currently unable to expand.
3. Not currently but in the future you will be able to. including taking over the city. course they will be able to do it to your own as well.
4. some things are not added in yet. so place holders are in game until they are.
5. Crafting is about your skill. you will make normal Armour that you researched, but over time you can make a legendary item. you have a higher change the more skilled you are but it is still very rare
6. Traders do buy things from you as long as its trade goods. no amour or weapons, and if you have your outpost set to public as well as the building its set up in.
7. yes. depending on the size of the weapon. not the classes.

1. Does the other fanctions have/will have some type of culture? Like some are more cruel or dunno whatever that make them more unique/special

Yes see the post on the Kenshi site about The Holy Nation.

2. Does others/other fanctions can build/expand their city/ies or build a new one or a new outpost?

Not sure but they will attack and take over your outpost if you are too close to them.

3. Can we burn to the groung outposts/cities??? i guess if #2 is a no this one is a no as well.
Or take over a city and hold it as ur own??

Take over is supposed to be possible, but not sure if you can burn it down.

4. I see to the right side of the name a Nameless state, at start i thought it was for fame or something, then i though it was from fanction but it never changes when i changed the name (maybe its a buf).

You can enter your factions name in the faction window. some times it loses it and you have to enter it again. As far as fame for each character I don't know, but you can become Infamous and get a huge bounty on your head.

5. In crafting u can only make swords like model 5/6/7/8 etc? or u can create better models/rarity depending on ur craftign skills, plus maybe some legendary recipes, or legendary rarity cause of "luck" and high craftign skill that could make some weapons more unique,valuable etc. same for armors etc. Like be bale to make masterpieces if u are lucky, but also make ur own weapons not the same 2/3 models everyone have. maybe change a bit the weight,speed, damage etc "costumize" ?

Current version allows you to craft better versions of all weapons. but you can't tweak them specifically for weight and speed. That has been suggested as a new feature, don't remember by who??? probably just some nut.

6. Does traders really come and buy things from ur town? i have there some weapons armors etc that took from some fights but never saw anyone coming and buy from me...

Yes they do, but they don't buy that stuff. only tradable things like Rum, bread, building supplies, medkits. Generally anything that you can find in the traders shop. But they currently don't buy the junk you loot from bandits, you have to take that into town and sell it yourself.

7. Do weapons have different reach?i think its a yes but not sure if its weapon depenable or weapon type dependable (katana,trooper,heavy sword)

Yes they do. it's by weapon. katana has longer reach then Wakasashi, frag axe has greater reach then Katana. ect...

Thats all for now, thnx for ur time and hope u got some answers ^_^

Answers I got, correct answers???? well that's another question altogether.

[1stratos1]

Thnx a lot both for ur fast replies!!!


I havent crafted anything yet, well i guess i ll check it as soon as possible. If u could sell weapons and armors in ur "shops" it would be for sure worth investing to.

2 extra questions.

Do npcs steal from u/ur outpost?
Im not talking about being unconcious but mostly like entering ur house and stealign stuff , or ur storages. These thief fanction is doign anything? :O

2nd one is if there is a way to put npcs to patrol and protect citizens etc, like police do.

[Hatsune_Neko]

the weapons and Armour not being able to be sold is mostly because of looting. you can easily fill a counter with stolen Armour and weapons.
or as the Dev basically said, we dont want to buy your crappy Armour and weapons.

Raids was in the game but was taken out because it caused the game to crash. it most likely will come back once they figure out how to do it better.

patrols are not implemented yet, though in the experimental branch you can hire mercenaries to help guard you.

5. Crafting is about your skill. you will make normal Armour that you researched, but over time you can make a legendary item. you have a higher change the more skilled you are but it is still very rare

What clickbait is this about "Legendary items", Hatsune?

Experimental branch, you can have a very slight chance to craft legendary armors. its still rare even at high levels in the skill set but it is possible.

[Abek]

For dead serious? You've crafted it or know someone who has crafted it? I'm going crazy here. Not like specialist.

A masterwork armor, from crafting. That's happened to you.

[Shidan]

I'm now fairly certain that crafting higher than standard gear is not a thing. Hastune's post inspired me to test it, so I cheated my way to a maxed Armour Smithing. I've now nearly filled a large house (the two story one) worth of armour barrels full of crafted chain shirts. Not a single Masterwork, Specialist, or even High grade among them.

I'm now convinced that either the chance is so infinitesimally small that it is functionally impossible (or they took it out), or whoever first said it was a thing was pulling someones leg...

I'm leaning toward the latter. Especially given that there is no mention in the FCS about it, when there are mentions of other percent chance things.

[Hatsune_Neko]

nope not to me yet.
i gotten some from sand-ninjas but haven't been able to craft them myself yet.
think there was a post on Steam with someone being able to craft higher then normal. scien it was added in the experimental branch.

I remember it. I found it the very first time I happened to find specialist gear on a Police Chief. However it seems to have since been deleted (Correct me if I'm wrong, I can't find it anyway). Certainly doesn't alleviate my suspicions that whoever started it was faking, and simply modded the gear in. Given how easy it is to do so. And lets be honest, it's nearly impossible to disprove. Given how "rare" it's supposed to be. So it would be a pretty easy thing to fake.

It also doesn't sound like something Chris would have put in the game. Grinding for dozens maybe even hundreds of hours straight, to get one piece of armour. Doesn't sound fun. And given how easy he made it to get the highest quality weapons, why would he make it so hard to get armour? Sounds fishy IMHO.

So unless a dev comes in here and says one way or another, or someone I trust enough to not be lying about it (such as one of you two) says they got one, I'm not buying it. No offence to anyone intended, but the evidence is simply not in it's favor.

[Hatsune_Neko]

i thought i originally read about from Chris where you can craft specialty gear but random chance.
hard to remember sicne i read so many different web pages for information at times

[Shidan]

Hmm, I haven't seen anything from him about it. Though it would be easy for me to miss or forget, considering I wasn't even aware of higher grade gear until a few months ago.

I also note there is no mention of it in the change log. While the chance for npcs to have higher grade gear is mentioned.

(I know what you mean about keeping track of sources. I try to read literally everything posted for Kenshi. Forums, news, and such. It is a nightmare trying to keep things straight. )

The only thing that keeps me up at night is that I heard some of these myths from a devs I'm friends with on Steam. And some of them are verifiable.

For example, I was told of Elder beasts. Leviathans that have exceeded 1.0 on the maturity scale. They are larger and far more powerful. I stalked one until it grew up and It was awesome. It's the thought of Easter eggs that aren't in the code that make me so hopeful.
