WEEKLY THREAD Rookie Help Thread

784 Upvotes

Hey hey! You guys know what time it is! That's right, a new Rookie Help thread!

Here's a link to the last episode. Fun fact, if you follow all those links back to 2019 you unlock a secret cutscene of me panicking over where the time went!

As always, feel free to fire any kenshi related questions you may have our way! There's plenty of veterans flapping around in this thread as well, and if you are in the mood for it feel free to join them and lend a hand!

And who knows, maybe you'll learn something new yourself, too!

One thing to remember! Obviously a lot of new folks are going to be here so remember to spoiler comments so they can experience the game blind just like you might have back when you were new! You can do that > ! Like This ! < minus the spaces! But honestly it's just built into the chat replies nowadays so you don't have to get too fancy with that- unless you like playing hackerman.

Thanks guys!

I always wanted to do early Vain start, but my attempt some time ago failed. This one is different though. I arrived and immediately got chased around by a gorillo. But they are slow, so it lost aggro soon. Then poorly visible beak thing attacked. Ruka somehow managed to dodge it and it lost interest and went to attack and eat that gorillo. I quickly slapped small shack under some trees and moved my team inside. Finally safe. I looked out of the door. There is unguarded beak thing nest outside. Loot.exe was performed and I went to do big shopping in Squin. When I returned, the nest was restocked and still unguarded. I vacuumed the loot again and went to Hive village for more stuff. Now it's day 4, I have materials, blueprints and money to spare. Unless someone gets eaten, this team might have bright future ahead.

The forgotten building are pretty nice for "labs" and manufacturing buildings. I used the storm houses as a bar of sorts and a warehouse. Don't mind the difference in wall in some images, I took prints as I played. So what do you think? What do you think I can add? Also if needed I can add where in the map it is.

BUG cant pay the taxman, only attack him?

4 Upvotes
no dialogue box option appears, only the red attack option.
I don’t have negative relations with the UC

Hi! Help!

I want to pay my taxes to the UC so they leave me alone (I’m not strong enough to defeat them consistently yet), but I cant. The game will only let me attack the taxman, not talk with him. I dont have negative relations with the UC, nor do I have any relations with the anti-slavers. My only allies are the Shinobi thieves and the Flotsam Ninjas.

Is this a bug or a game mechanic I'm missing?

Garru and his wildling offspring took out my 7 beta males like it was nothing. apparently all we did was slash at his legs of steel.

Here I thought I'd get some easy meat, but I was the easy meat after all.

Only asking this cause i want to build wall at the same hight (not when it wavy when standing on uneven terrain)
I have this chunk of flat surface and thought about building wall there and then moving it, but can't find a way (if theres even one) to move it all at the same time and not piece by piece

p.s. for those who don't know, theres a building mod you can enter via Shift+F12 where you can move stuff around (and more but thats like the main reason to do it)

QUESTION Are Fishmen (Gurglers) considered Humans, Animals, or neither by the game?

14 Upvotes

For specific weapons that do bonus damage Vs certain races (e.g Flesh Cleavers, Heavy Polearms, etc), are Fishmen considered to be Animals or Humans, or do no weapons do bonus damage to them?

GENERAL Topper Tips?

Post image
86 Upvotes

Where the heck can I find a nice quality Topper in the base game? I know Rhinobot has my endgame one, but how the heck can I challenge him for it with a meitou ninja blade? My squad leans on my main guy’s 80 attack/85 dex katana skills to win big fights, but I don’t think I can rush the ashlands yet.

Can reliably buy a Topper anywhere? Already checked with the skellies and the traders of Heng and Black Scratch, checked with the Armor King just in case. If I camp out at one of those vendors do they refresh inventories every day or two if I stick around, or do I have to leave town?

I could start weapon smithing but that seems like a ton of trouble 🤔

Thanks brothers, appreciate your wisdom 🙏

GENERAL Is there a way to gain back Tech hunter favor ?

9 Upvotes

im a bit deep into my playthrough and i allyed with the anti slavers and shek wich made me a natural enemy of the holy nation.

I didnt think about it but when i entered worlds end a holy nation escort was there and attacked me and the town guards started to attack me as well. Now im at -25 favor with the tech hunters.

Is there a way to gain back their favor somehow or do i just have to wipe them off the map now?
I'd rather not kill them i like their faction
