Update 0.95 Out Now (Experimental)

0.95.5 is out now! This is on experimental only, to opt-in you have to right-click on Kenshi in your Steam games list -> properties -> betas tab -> then choose “experimental”. 0.93.28 is the current stable version.

0.95.0

• Unlocked more of the map with a new major faction.

FIXES

• Characters don’t randomly get wet when created
• Small fixes for stuff like light emissive materials, a road-following bug, weird grass shinyness during rain

0.95.1

• Fixed the fog islands zone
• Fixed some problems with importing
• Fixed random black inventory icons
• Fixed characters in character editor showing on top of each other at start.
• Fixed a few crashes

0.95.3

• Added a block for “thrust” direction, so you can now block unarmed and animal attacks
• Tweaked the formula for character muscle visibility. Its no longer affected by strength (which now only affects bulk) or toughness. The idea is to make characters end up looking a bit different to each other based on their skills (as opposed to everyone just ending up big and muscular)
• –the new formula is: max(dexterity, martialArts) * 3.f + (athletics + swimming) – (cooking + science);

FIXES

• Fixed a bug that was messing up the combat movement and making everybody bunch up too close
• Fixed block animations not playing. How did nobody notice that?
• Fixed some flickery animations and some animation bugs

0.95.4

• Added dodging to the combat system. You dodge when unarmed, and it can also be used to break out of stun-lock states
• Characters now have rear-direction block animations
• Tweaked the camera limit so you can look upwards a little more
• A messagebox now tells you what item caused you to get arrested for smuggling
• Made block animation blending look a little nicer
• Added sound effect for barefoot characters
• Added the plastic surgeon to empire towns
• Added a few more combat stance animations for different weapons

FIXES

• Fixed bounties getting deducted instead of awarded
• Fixed a bug with populating towns (mongrel was a victim)
• Fixed AI cores not getting spawned (needs import)
• Fixed NPCs coming into your base to work at your farms
• Fix for charater direction jittering when moving very slowly
• Fixed some visual bugs in the wetness system
• Fixed crash upgrading turrets in while use
• More tweaks for crowded combat movement
• Fixed the bar squads duplicating when loading a game or returning to an area

0.95.5

• Added some feedback arrows to stealth mode
• Added options setting for displaying the floating damage numbers
• Increased amount of food sold in bars

FIXES

• Fixed a particular AI hauling bug

0.95.7

• The construction set now has a “translation mode” for using to translate the dialogue
• Dismantling buildings now gives back some of the materials
• Characters now feel the weather.
  • Dust storms strongly affect visibility and hearing range, and prevent tracking by smell
  • Rain affects visibility and hearing range a small amount
  • Certain clothing can protect you from the elements. Goggles are good in dust storms.
• Some fine-tuning for stealthy raids:
  • NPC hear range is halved when you are indoors and they are not (or vise-versa). Range is halved again if the door is closed
  • alarm range is halved, and gets halved again if you are indoors, and then halved again if the buildings door is closed
  • stealth knockouts take into account your visibility more, and you can’t knockout someone if they are in combat unless they are totally unaware of you
  • Tweaked the follow AI for escaping slaves/prisoners so if you make a run for it they will keep up rather than stay behind trying to fight everyone
  • guards standing outside of a building will no longer keep the door open
  • Fixed a bug with some slaves not reacting when you free them
  • shopkeepers won’t talk to you if you are an enemy
• Armour can now have skill bonuses for unarmed, dodge, and fist damage.
• Backpacks now negatively impact dodging
• Added more slaves to the slave towns
• Low-level slaves are a bit more likely to join you, others like captured bandits now a little less likely.
• Encumbrance and other penalties have a slightly lower effect on move speed

FIXES

• Fixed the trade window when you talk to a sleeping trader
• Fixed non-player faction relations all being 0 on import
