Something I learned in Rebirth: sneaking with broken limbs, injured torso/head, and encumbered helps level up sneak massively, since it lowers your actual sneak level, which is what's used to determine how much xp you gain from sneaking around low level npc's like the slaves.

[@planetfall5056]

I imagine plate armor and chain shirts would also help since they reduce sneak so much too. Also sneak levels with the amount of enemies nearby so bigger the group bigger the xp. Hungry bandit hoards are great since they are one of if not the biggest NPC squad and if you get caught, it's fine since they are so weak you'll probably live even if you are too encumbered to run.

[@Lucifronz]

The slave start is ironically one of the best if you want to level up some useful skills like lockpicking, laboring, sneaking and athletics. You can even fight the guards for combat experience with no consequences, though you'll almost always get knocked out too fast for that to really work. If the guard is distracted with another slave, maybe.

[@F_Yale]

Sneaking while seen around many hostiles is what gives you the full 150% EXP boost, I believe.

[@grimsgraveyard3598]

I found this out also when they captured me in the hub for trying to pick up a wastelander female I had knocked out to rob and still wanted. Didn't know I could have just gone there and bought her got enslaved and spent four hours trying to escape to only die from the lost leg and then taking my food or the bandits maybe took it.

[@Ruhrich92]

Fun fact I learned while looking up Bulls vs Garru last night. HN domesticated bulls have their horns cut, and so do blunt dmg-which does extra dmg to robots and armored foes; while Wild Bulls do cut dmg, which causes bleeding against fleshy foes-important detail. Garru heal faster and have more health, but have lower combat/str stats overall-if that interests you.

[@MaximalFreak]

Wow, that game still surprises me with stuff and depth I didnt know about. Also I have never noticed that, good job.

[@mikethemilkman5246]

Very good info, thanks for this!

[@jefbord]

I believe Garru are faster as well, which is why I preferred them for my supply/loot/drug runs (they can kinda outrun a beak thing when fully grown and trained)

[@Ruhrich92]

@@jefbord I could see that. Ive never really used animals in Kenshi beyond the odd dog here or there. But in my headcanon, I think the Garru are native to Kenshi-like the Hivers-where speed seems to be key to survival. Meanwhile Bonedogs were genetically modified to provide protection-like the Shek-even sharing their boney appearance. Where as Bulls and Goats were brought to the moon with humans. Bulls most resembling greenlanders, farmers/traders. While goats fit better with scorchlanders, providing the non-farmers with food and being more nomadic. Even the Skeletons have their counterparts. Where Skeletons are machines based off humans, robo spiders are machines based off native skimmers/spiders. Tldr; Garru-Hive Bonedogs-Shek Bulls-Greenlanders Goats-Scorchlanders Skeletons-Robo Spiders All things balanced. As they should be. Except Beakthings. Beakthings are just a fuckin menance.

[@jefbord]

@@Ruhrich92 hmm now that you mention it, garru are indeed derpy, just like hivers lol On solo character runs I like bulls more, dont need that much bulk inv and they're more useful in a fight. My entire colony eats beak thing meat. Got a dedicated bunch of polearm wielding egg harvesters in one of my runs hehe (I agree early game they're absolutely terrifying)

[@paulciampo2104]

The best sneak training is attacking and then escaping enemies and then sneaking around them when they stop chasing you, while the game has them flagged as a enemy. Sneak stat sky rockets.

[@MaximalFreak]

I didn't know that, thats great tip!

[@LucasCunhaRocha]

Sneaking around beak things, especially around the nests also trains sneak like crazy.

[@Arbaaltheundefeated]

This definitely works. I have seen a lot of posts and comments previously suggesting things like sneaking around outside a building full of enemies to powerlevel your sneaking, and I have tried this myself and it doesn't seem to actually work unless you aggravate them first. Even if the mouse pointer turns red when you mouse over them, that does not appear to be enough by itself to count them toward stealth XP. There seems to be a certain timespan after enemies have been actively acting hostile toward you that their presence anywhere nearby counts for stealth leveling, but if you don't aggravate them it only seems to apply to your stealth leveling if you're in a position where they would have detected you if you weren't sneaking... which means sneaking around fifty yards behind a group who weren't looking for you in the first place, or around a building full of people with no way to detect you're on the other side of that wall, does little to nothing.

a.try defeat caravan,and steal their garru that have item in its bag... put the garru in your prisoner... every day the inventory will refresh,you can have free food free material etc once a day... b.if wanna train attacking with animal on bed,just train melee with heavy inventory and lowest quality samurai armor. c.if dont have peeler machine blueprint,but you wanna install robot limb asap,go to fogland. go lock your self in the pole,unlock the pole firat and wait until hive eat you... make sure you have the robot limb in your inventory,after they eat your leg pause the game and equip the leg limb then run and heal... after that do the same again after they eat your arm install again the arm limb the run.while the hive eating you you will train your stats too. and the same way you can train your animal companion endurance like that too... d.hold left click then interact with things in rebirth can made you run from rebirth in just a minute. and many many more.

[@_-JonDoe-_]

On the Don’t Reload tip, if it’s your first run or so.. do not be afraid to reload. Quicksave with F5, try out that fight, get killed, reload, and then don’t do that fight. I don’t think Kenshi is the kind of game where you want to be reloading with every lost limb (I only play Hive Only for the record) but when you’re dealing with your first settlement raid, stumble across your first Murder Giraffe, or just ventured into a new region, it’s nice to be able to get a gauge for where your party is at. It’s humbling and makes the world feel scarier than just avoiding every fight you aren’t 100% sure you’re gonna walk away from.

[@MaximalFreak]

You might be right... Especially for beginners loading saved game might be less frustrating. Maybe I have different point of view on the gameplay. I like to learn the hard way and making anything easier is spoiling the game for me :D Thanks for your opinion!

[@onenaser]

@@MaximalFreak same for me, the harder the game the more enjoyable to me, after I watched this video, I'm thinking to start a new game without load save this time until all my people dies

[@MaximalFreak]

@@onenaser That's the spirit! Let the game absolutely destroy you. Also this way when all your characters die, you will have a finished story.

[@onenaser]

@@MaximalFreak sorry I meant to say I'll load save only if everyone dies lol, I have a question: does Penalties stats give me more exp? for Example: if I wear a full heavy armor and use a katana, does that mean I'll get more dexterity exp?

[@MaximalFreak]

@@onenaser Definitely works with some skills. If you have hands that lower your lockpicking skill and sou train lockpicking, it should be easier to level. Not sure if that works with every skill though :/

Heres another tips 1. Sneaking near enemies make your sneaking skill goes faster 2. You can use downed animal as a training dummy, just put it in bed (train dex and martial arts no limit) 4. You can easily train thievery skill by stealing downed enemy gears or items

[@uncorr6982]

2 is more like a bug use. Don't do it, or you'll ruin your experience

Try to bandage core wounds (head, chest, stomach) in the middle of a fight. When you get knocked out, the bandages will continue healing you, and keep you from dying. Then you can lose and survive without needing someone to save you. (Just don't do it around things that eat you).

I find that if you place buildings with shift F12 you will need to save the game and reload to make the building functional.

[@Sylvaard]

Well I reload my game a lot as I'm not very good at hard games so it's how I learn how mechanics and fights work without my character just dying. I also started at rock bottom so that probably balances that out a bit.

[@MaximalFreak]

Of course you might like your game different way. Somebody just want to relax with the game without loosing characters every time something wrong happens.

AndI appreciate it a lot, thanks

[@goergebobicles1351]

Raptors are usually the first things I actively fight if I have a human character. Their attack animation is so slow you can manually dodge out of the way, and separate squads of them do not aggro you even if you are attacking one. They aren't as profitable as beak things, but their animal skins make for a passable source of income that won't bore the shit outta you like mining.

[@MaximalFreak]

Yeah maybe raptors arent that bad. My worst experience is with goats tho. You think they are easy to kill, bcs they are goats. And they gonna absolutely trash you in few seconds.

[@goergebobicles1351]

@@MaximalFreak yep, you don't fuck with goats in kenshi. I once saw 3 goats systematically take down a group of 10 cannibals.

[@samuryebread1065]

Wheres a good place to find groups of them when you just start out?

[@goergebobicles1351]

​@@samuryebread1065 If you're human, have a human man, or the number of humans in your group are equal to or more than the number of non-humans, I'd suggest Okran's valley. the river rapters there are even weaker than the swamp ones and the holy nation will attack them on sight meaning that you can easily collect their hides from the entrance of blister hill in your down time if you're injured. another option that is a bit riskier would be near the slave markets west of Catun if you can make the journey. its on the edge of the swamp and swamp creatures often times regularly pass through. the slavers don't really bother to kill raptors, but they will deal with any blood spiders. turtles are also in the area which while more dangerous on a technical level (they have no attack animation making it hard to gauge dodging), they are a lot easier to kill than goats and give a good amount of meat. The only other place I can think of where you can easily fight raptors is shark, but due to pathing in the swamp, its a bit harder to control your squad and you would have to go through the swamp and potentially get fucked up by spiders before you get there. If you do reach it though, the raptors that pass through attack the rice fields there meaning you can engage them in the town rather than out of it.

[@clausandersen5999]

If you want to escape as a slave, always use the water as guards does not follow you in deep water. Also you can use other prisoners as a distraction to escape if you free them first.

[@MaximalFreak]

Another great tip. Thanks!

Request a short video explaining how the Shop counter works.

[@spatrk6634]

you put stuff in your shop counter. and npc groups like traders and nomads sometimes come to shop.

[@letsreytryitforyou]

i like to mess with animal, but with animal that don't eat you if you are in coma, if no problem with your food & medical supplies, In just 15 days, can easily rise toughness to 90++ and dex to 30++, and if also train martial arts, with that duration, can easily rise dodge to 50++ and MA to 40++, also if you in play area of animal/monster, you can raise stealth too, if it hostile to you it become faster.

@@MaximalFreak SHIFT+F12 And you just click on a house or any object. And you get arrows and menus and stuff. You just need arrows. And the important thing is. For the changes to become real in the game. You have to save, load.

[@TheBangooman]

An important bit is that, in order to edit interiors while in F12 mode you need to first click on the building you want to edit and then click on "edit interior" button that shows after you click on the building. Gotta be careful doing edits in this mode with the npc nodes (the little green manequins that appear near interactable objects) while doing tight edits. For example, this mode is useful for placing separation walls in a much more tight spread than you would be able to normally, allowing you to leave no gaps, but your npcs will process whatever you move in this mode as if it was still like when you first put it down, making them liable to run through separation walls, furniture, etc. which breaks immersion a bit. Just my 2 cents.

After playing Battle Brothers for a period, I got fed up with the idea of ironman'ing in games where you invest time and effort into individual characters. That's too much time and effort permanently lost for what amounts to a dopamine crash. Feel free to reload, but if you reload after every little misstep, that will take a lot of enjoyment out of the game.

Of course that's an option. You can reload whenever you want. But for me reloading makes the game boring as it feels like cheating. For somebody else reloading might be just a way to enjoy the game.

[@Pophet84]

do not load is just a wrong advise. most loads i do, or pretty much ALL of em, come from the game beeing glitchy AF. turret gunners get stuck and starve. people glitch out of your base and getting killed in the next attack. your people lag into objects where they cannot leave and you cant pick them up. holy nation attacks you because you "missed" a prayer even though they never showed up for the prayer because they got stucked by bad pathfinding. you get your weapon stolen by someone and the stolen weapon isnt show in his inventory. you simply can not ignore loosing a meitou weapon to a glitch. list goes on and on when it comes to kenshi. we love the game for all it flaws, but telling someone not to load is just hillarious.

[@MaximalFreak]

Of course you can load the game whenever you need, but my advise is about not trying to do certain actions and loading the game if it turns out bad. Like live with consequences for your actions. You tried to attack wrong guys and they beat you hard and put to slavery? Live with it. Do not load. Thanks for your opinion though! Maybe I should have mentioned better what kind of save loads I mean.

[@HenriqueRJchiki]

The game is way too janky and buggy to not reload yeah, characters getting stuck on terrain all the time and getting attacked while stuck is a good example, I despise savescumming but it's necessary some times in Kenshi
