Instead of going to Squin, I now go to Stack first because Stack has a free supply of skins and meat. I can reach level 80 armor making before day 30. That means all my light armors will be specialist grade very early on in the game. I will move around cities to recruit people and let these small groups stay in these cities. So, instead of one large group. I have several groups in several cities. This way I don't need to worry about food supply.

if you're starting out at the hub join the shinobi thieves u gain access to beds, shelter, some training skills, and a fence....and u get to be a shinobi thief.... tell me thats not badass?!

I miss the days of game developers releasing playable demos for us to decide if we like the game or not. Having played the demo and then realizing that it is was suddenly 3 in the morning I think the demo was a success and I will likely be getting this game.

there is NO ending...

What a great video! I think an underrated technique (so you dont have to copper mine) is running around the Holy Nation land. The valley has tons of River Raptors that patrolling Paladins attack. When they die, you can loot them for hides and spoiled meat. I leave the meat until i start recruiting animals, and the hides sell for a pretty good price.

Kenshi has an end game?

It's a good tutorial 👍

Thank you for this video! It was really well laid out. I'm a ways into the game and had been struggling to figure out how/when to do certain things. This video made me realize I could upgrade the assembly station at Construction Junction (had been struggling to figure out how to do that, I thought it was story-based) & upgrade my sandtrap to get those larger fish. Don't know why I couldn't figure that out on my own... but thank you! The notes about where to find recipes were also useful. I kept wasting time having to run back and forth between where you get commissions & my home in order to figure out (1) whether I had the underlying materials already made for a commission, and (2) where I would get any materials I didn't have. Those encyclopedias are super useful! Wish I knew about them earlier.

sells clothes and suddenly 2 guys join your party sketch

there is also a ladder buried in the sand at the dune desert that has some nice early game loot.

Best guide ever

I fumbled the gorillo bounty early. Started playing last week and i have not been able to stop.

Got the game today, and storage crates can be built outdoors on foundations too.

very informative video even 1 year on, good work bro

Nah. I dont cheese the game. i just play it as is and experience what ever happens my way. I dont cheese games. im not american.

Are you the guy that speedruns every game?

I have 200 hours in this game and just found out you can upgrade workbenches… ty

Every time the currency is referred to as anything but Cats I feel like I'm being punched

the simplest and clear KENSHI tutorial !!!! Ty

Thank you so much! Even after a year after this video was posted, these tips still help me so much as a new Kenshi player. I had no idea how much depth this game truly has!

Please make more kenshi guides bro. These are awesome!

dollars??!!!

Thanks for your video, after several hours to play Kenshi I learned again !

I enjoyed your video, this is a very good guide, very similar to what I do on my playthroughs, which I'm playing right now. Also, you have a very nice voice. Thank you.

After watching both videos, I still have one question what if any combats stats should I have when I build my first base

If you intend to build a base, and is new to the game, get a mod to increase the various gates health pool, otherwise you will find yourself being instantly raded even by a moderate breeze. And dont expect to get to Rimworld levels of micromanaging, characters tend to stop jobs, glitch, n have pathing issues from time to time.

Your Kenshi vids are easily the best about this game

Awesome guide

Just got this game. Wasn't sure what start to do. I picked the 5 guys one. Figured more people to fight if I get in trouble. I wasn't sure what to do when I started the game, so I roamed around for awhile. Then my dudes were getting hungry. I saw nothing to fight, until a pack of goats roamed by.... I got my ass handed hard lol. Death by goats, would play again 10/10!

You said you should do your circularization burn when you're about 20 seconds from reaching your apoapsis, but in the video it was about 1:20 and it obviously worked. Did I get anything wrong?

I would really like to know if you can do the with other factions like the tech hunters or flotsam ninjas

I would really like to see more about the factions things around the idea of take over cities and handing them over to other factions i thought that was so awesome and I didn’t even know that was possible

Useful, thanks!

Sturgian Shield walls are NO JOKE. Had a shield wall of fifty enemy men just Jason Vorhees their way 150m to my spread of Fian champion archers blocking every arrow that came their way Ended up losing a lot more men than I wanted to there - sturgian shields are TOUGH.

In all my wisits to grid workshop was always totally empty.

I once have had build a 'stock' room in the hub where you put downed bandits inside to heal and be a bloodbag, the goal is to train my martial artists hero there. What a weird savage farming scheme. XD

We are Greed. We just always need more and more and more.

in game tutorials🤢 KZbin tutorials 😏

Chance of stealing isn't dictated by stealth, but by thievery. Thieving from container has a chance of you getting caught, stealing things on tables and such is always at 100% success rate: steal those to train. Kenshi can be finnicky, and sometime characters don't seem to pathfind right or just starve themselves to death with food in containers. Use CTRL+SHIFT+F12 to fix pathfinding issues. The "move at the same speed" button has the very deprecable habit of spreading your group all over the map if you don't stay there watching them, so use it only if you're doing just that. If you move a group and want to do other things than babysitting it while they travel, make all "Follow" order the slowest member: it can still fail if they encounter hostiles, but it's more consistent.

where are the videos they not in description

Loved this mini-series, gave me most of the info I was looking for. More niche guides like a base building focused one or training guides for certain archetypes (like how to make the best ninja-esque guy you can) would be awesome!

Didn't know they used dollars in kenshi

the best bounty I've done so far are Ponk and Screamer, aka the voodoo brothers, who have a collective bounty of 40k cats in the UC and HN. Technically, you could sell them to the UC, break them out, and then take them to the HN giving them a collective bounty of 80k. Not sure if the bounty is considered 'collected' for both factions once you take them to one or the other since I recruited them with a mod instead of turning them in lol

This tutorial is quite nice, though I will say one exception to the character cost rule should be the unique recruit Griffin, if you are capable of going into the Holy Nation and have the disposable income to hire him. Between having a 20 in most combat stats and a 20 in all weapon specific skills other than Polearms, and a 20 in strength and dex, as well as having unique dialogue with many characters, he is well worth the hefty sum of 9000 cats and has a brown Sentinel color override for the Bucket Zukin and Holy Chestplate (the same brown that many Holy Guards wear). I find the brown holy armor looks good with either chainmail or blackened chainmail, and samurai clothpants or sneaky chain cargopants. Would definitely recommend the chainmail at least, to protect his arms.

Even a year later, this is still useful. Thanks so much. Are you thinking you'll make an update once 1.0 releases?

9:09 behind the scenes peek

You don't need to pay for the bed at the bar in the hub, as the abandoned building that you loot has 2 beds

Wrong! Martial arts is the best thing to start with (although terrible) because it is the most effective way of training dodge. Once your stats go up it's harder to train dodge because battles are shorter due to you dealing more damage. The first thing you should use on a new toon is martial arts for this reason.

Also such a great vid but only 100+ likes and 10+ comments u derserve greater

3000KM! Faster than 1000KM! /S!??! Just from this I can tell that you are a true born American. Jeez
