i think it would be worth it to test how this relates to the amount you block for, i have a feeling that the block after attack actually blocks a lot more damage coming through and that may be taking it off the durability of the weapon/shield instead of your health/stamina. this is only based off circumstantial experience for me, i haven't tested it yet, but makes sense based on what i've seen.

Good video with lots of info. But the benefit of the shield in my opinion is Shield slam Stun/Taunting, also in some cases in dungeons bosses will absolutely destroy your blocking weapon in like 2-3 hits. Id rather lose a shield than a important weapon. Making it still the superior tanking option imo

Oh, I don't doubt there's a few 'use cases' for shields in the current game build. The shield slam IS nice, but given the current game system, it's not a great stamina/damage trade, compared to just a block and follow up attack. The game's systems are still so dang wonky. One day, hopefully, it'll all be sorted proper. But, until then! I just wanted to bring something I noticed to light--which, I'm pretty sure, the devs already know. :D

Much like anything else in Kenshi, one does what's fun. For some, the notion of having a shop can be a good time! For others, wanderlust calls, and we just can't sit still. 'Viability' is subjective in Kenshi, as with enough time, all problems become solved. It's all in how the proverbial we get there.

If you recruit 10 NPCS in the first 2 days, you can easily earn 30k everyday in the first week without doing anything, but AUTOMATED mining. AND you will have time to train a couple of them lockpicking, stealth, and assassination in the first few days while others are mining AUTOMATICALLY without much micromanagement. LOL AND the more they mine, the faster they mine and the more money they earn WITHOUT all the micromanagement. A large team of miners can earn 100 to 200k everyday after day 30. Trading is HARD money. AND you don't gain any experience over time, except for athletics. You can train athletics and strength by setting up a good "mining practice". The price differences in different cities are tiny AND you have to waste time traveling. Totally inefficient. The ultimate problem of trading is, only a few large cities, like Squin, can afford to buy over 100k cats of goods everyday. With such a low profit margin, you will have to run around like crazy to earn more than 50k cats daily. That's just a tiny amount of money for my team. LOL

Maybe the devs thought people might build shops in every major city eventually during end game, and then get passive income until you need to restock the items. But it seems like if you put crafting stations for medical/food inside of a building you buy in every single city, with storages to hold the excess, then the passive income would be greater. You could build farms outside the city for the shopkeep to maintain, to help keep the supply going? Just started playing Kenshi about 2 months ago though, and it’s so complex that I’m sure I’m incorrect to some degree of how time consuming/easy this would be. My guys are finally starting to become “chads” though and don’t get killed by hungry bandits anymore so that’s pretty awesome!
@zombiegandhi8405

I suspect the shops and buying of things, are there for two reasons: 1.) because it's interesting 2.) it helps to tell the narrative of what the world's like. No one seemingly can afford weapons, armor, or even fancy food--so anyone in a place of power who can offer you such things (the major factions), have quite the allure. Making money in Kenshi is very, very easy; and setting up shops isn't a 'good' way to make it---but, I think it's a FUN way to make it. I think they're great for RP focused runs: maybe you want to set up a fast food chain, and all that goes into supplying it. I think shops are just interesting, fun, neat, and different gameplay loops the emergent narrative provides.

@@zombiegandhi8405 awww man I didn’t even think about that but I think you are completely right. It wasn’t supposed to be a major source of income but adds to the RP and FUN in the game when you finally and actually make sales. It adds another layer to the gameplay and immersion and fits within the setting and narrative! I really like this response thank you! Would you think it’s viable at all to set up multiple shops as a source of income or would it be way too tedious? I’m thinking about it and I feel like multiple shops in cities would just be way too difficult because you’d have to micromanage it quite a bit with farms outside the city and whatnot. Thank you!

@@Jaymennn I think it will require a fair bit of logistics to get off the ground, but not impossible. You will need to keep someone in the area to keep the 'cell' active (which means they'll need food, unless it's a skeleton). That's not too difficult, depending on what you're going to try and sell food wise--though again, most NPCs are pretty poor, so even a load of bread might be a big ask. You'll want to position your farming base that's within easy reach of the places you want to set up shops in--and of course, have guards who are strong enough to fight off any attackers. Maybe setting up the farm in an easier area, may be worth the longer trek.

@zombiegandhi8405

So that depends on a few things: mostly, whether or not NPCs in that area have 'shopping' in their list of 'things to do'. In my experience, most NPCs who frequently shop, seem to the caravan merchants and those part of; where residents of a town/city/village, seem to have their 'shopping needs' already met. The Wandering Assassins will also shop (especially for bandages in the swamp--those dang blood spiders). So it depends on who all is in that area; whether you have caravans visiting; and so on. You can get an idea of who at least has the 'shopping' tag, for lack of better word, by looking for that yellow-greenish color of Cats being spent--and for the dialogue of "I can't afford that". This can let you know the type of NPCs who are able/willing/wanting to buy 'something'.

Another thing to note is that there are in fact stat differences in animals based on their tag when buying them and I discovered this from buying different bulls over the course of a game and noticing their stats varied dramatically even if they were the same age with comparable skill values: Domesticated Bull had significant, 13mph move speed difference VS a Pack Bull, with both having 50ish Athletics values. (Domesticated had a run speed of 27 mph, and the Back Bull topped out at 14 mph regardless of what he was carrying). Pack Bull had significantly higher max carry capacity even though (max carry of 67) versus the Domesticated Bull with the same Bull Backpack on with only 1 STR difference had a max capacity of 46. Both bulls were Elder 110s, purchased together at the same time just had different tags (Domesticated/Pack).

Question. Do raiders always try enter through the main gate? Because in my base they just gank through any wall. If so, is there a way to direct which gate or wall they might choose to go through
@zombiegandhi8405
@zombiegandhi8405 3 ай бұрын
If they are somehow 'slipping through' your walls, then you might have a janky piece of geometry. Could be an angle too sharp, that lets them slip through. If it's the same piece of wall every time, consider tearing it down and building with less sharp angles/around that spot. So long as there's no pathing available 'through' your walls, they will/should go through the gate, since that's where the AI pathing will find the only entry. This is of course speaking of vanilla. I've no idea what mods might be out there that allow them to phase through or grapple hook (which would be awesome), or whatever else.

If you tie in the knowledge of your shop counter video you can probably get a lot more from the food since you'd get the full value not the sell value. I'm wondering how good setting up a shop in the boneyard in Catun would be, as you can automate a shop for the town as there is a long house there close to the gate. Set up a partially afk animal gathering worker then have others automate the cooking/production of leather to sell at the counter. Just check back in from time to time while you've another group off doing more involved things. The town is well guarded so for the most part you should be protected. Just make sure the gatherer is someone you don't mind losing if they go out at the wrong time.

Even though they're animals, they are considered within their faction--so they'll certainly defend it. I don't know if the game has differing penalties for all those specifics. Whether it has multiple tags (faction member, animal, garru), or whether those have their own value. That would be better answered by peeking up under the hood--and that's knowledge of the game I don't have. Could brute force the answer by slapping up various, and seeing what happens--but who knows how it calculates.

My pack bull is a absolute unit though he literally tanked and killed 3 paladins and an inquisitor. Not sure if you've ever tried to use the animals as combatants as well as pack animals. The bone dog isn't too shabby he's super fast but my bull has horns so he does cutting and small blunt. He's hitting for like 107 a hit and will often attack two or three times in a row. He's killing beak things and literally wiped three entire squads of hungry bandits even though it got close and had me anxious lol.

Sadly, vanilla Kenshi doesn't have a breeding mechanic. No amount of candle lit dinners and Barry White will get them to get their groove on.

They'll mess up lower tier enemies, but will struggle against those well armed and armored--but are still fun to use.
