Update 0.96.27

Updates now available for the main and experimental branches!  Firstly, on the main branch…

0.96.26

Main features:

GUI

• GUI updated if window size changes
• Added font size option slider
• Squad panel drop target hidden to make reordering squads easier

Food

• Added some race-specific foods. Hivers can eat raw and foul meat.
• Animals need to eat now.  You’ll need a backpack with food in for them.  You can stop them eating via the AI options.
• Animals will eat food dropped on the ground
• Animals will eat food out of the storages at your home base, if “feed animals” is enabled in the AI options
• Added a special animal feeding barrel.

Misc

• Some of the katana attacks now have reduced max-hits per attack, meaning they are less effective against groups. (Mainly the downward combo, but I also increased the power a little, this makes katanas more of a duelists weapon.)
• Hive traders will sometimes visit your base
• Doubled cost of animals
• Shek slaves get their horns cut off
• Lowered the price mark-up on illegal goods in the SW empire towns, the idea is that you only get the huge markups when you travel far east to the new empire regions
• Fixed up the slave shipment chain- slaver caravans gather up slaves and deliver to work camps.  ”Freelance” hunters deliver them to the nearest slave shop.
• Mounted turrets and lights repositioned when parent building is upgraded
• Splinting now splints over blunt damage as well
• Splinting can also apply to non-limbs, to help counter work quality penalties when crafting etc.
• You now get back slightly more materials when you dismantle buildings, and the number has been added to the FCS global settings
• Bodies don’t disappear so fast when being eaten by spiders
• Corpse flies sound integrated
• Wind generator sound intensity based on rotation speed
• Altered the player AI to choose nicer beds to sleep in
• Unique NPCs that escape captivity can now travel all the way back home to resume their lives
• Artifact distribution has been tweaked, there should be less of a shortage of AI cores and science books
• Updated translation base data

 

0.96.27 is now out on the experimental branch. To opt in to the experimental version, right-click on Kenshi in your Steam games list -> properties -> betas tab -> then choose “experimental”. If opting in, please be aware of bugs and general instability.

0.96.27

• Slightly reduced upper tier heavy armour resistance, to make the top tiers less overpowered
• Regenerated world navmesh to speed up zone loading times
• Improved navmesh splicing (whatever that means)
• Changed physics xml and bin files to use Ogre resource manager (fixes steam mods)

Note: Please report any bugs or problems, or upload crash dumps to the Steam forum or official Lo-Fi Games forum so that we can fix as soon as we can. Thank you 🙂
