the only thing i hate of your videos, is that they're too short man, love them! keep them coming for ever!

[@InvictusByz]

This has been such a fun series to keep up with. Your play style for Kenshi is pretty different from my own, so it's cool to see what's possible doing it another way!

[@MatthewSwaine]

Good video. People often forget a cheap and easy way to avoid acid rain when building bases is to build one of the tents for 1x Fabrics. When standing under them you are protected from acid rain, and you can reclaim the fabric back later.

[@Danny.TheDog]

Hell Yeah, another episode of Kenshi!

[@CyberBeep_kenshi]

Started a base near the water, all mines next to each other. And from the start, Police bots, crab raiders, skin bandits lol. and the wind goes to 0 often. so you need generators as well. This is a fun spot to train and free crab armors;)

[@Atari5732]

I used to build bases with walls, but now I just plop down a nice building with a few turrets on top and that seems to be working better. Every time I put up walls, it seems to trigger attacks on my base. Without walls I would still get attacked, but it appears to be a lot less frequently. I am a big fan of putting down a nice bughouse and using that as a forward base.

[@rawhide_kobayashi]

placebo, unless you're putting your base in very niche places, and adding walls expands its sphere of influence enough to cross into new areas with new types of attacks on your base

[@mattypow82]

Man, was I glad to see you uploaded an episode. Way cool your still enjoying the game. Thanks for all you do!!

[@clove2490]

im so glad Van Damm and crew understand that those crabs need a safe stable home environment, such good crab owners

[@CyberBeep_kenshi]

Reminds me of when i build an armed wall at the southern hive at the choke point. Then luring the army and king to the 8 harpoon guns :) Ah yes, fun times :-)))

[@Grlzdjan]

Very enjoyable watch :) If you build the tower blueprint first and dont exit out of build menu you can merge walls into the building. As soon as the frame is down on the map you can't clip them anymore.

[@ddt9292]

[@Alte.Kameraden]

My favorite base location is hidden in the mountains near the Dust Bandit bases. Requires very little fortifications as well. Relatively central on the map.

[@Tigtone_85]

I know which area your talking about, and every other area after 3k hrs lol that's a nice lil spot. My favorite so far is smack in the middle of the Arm of Okran high up in the mountains close to Worlds End but not close enough that they try to incorporate us. It's always fun sniping curious paladins with eagle crosses or svds if its a gun manufacture mod run.

[@Alte.Kameraden]

@@Tigtone_85 I often turn it into a Rum/Grog Farm + Converting Iron ore into Armor Plates. Sadly not green enough for cotten. Enough water/wind/arid fertility to make a good base. Copper isn't that far either but sadly isn't within the base, but not a huge lose as the money it earns easily affords anything it can not produce internally. 😉

[@Tigtone_85]

@@Alte.Kameraden Sounds like a great time and that place is pretty nice especially at sunrise/sundown reminds me of the moutains in NM and southern Colorado. I've dabbled a lil in rum running but selling all the spare weapons and armor my smiths make while leveling up is usually how we make a living. Used to steal a lot but that makes the game mind numbingly boring and I have to forbid myself from it these days I got too good at it. Cleaning out the scraphouse isn't even a challenge I even figured out how to get one guy to push another one behind their shelves and get all the ancient crates lol.

[@gif-2780]

Damn, i expect a base in ashlands, tho im not disappointed. Good vid, seems like ashlands can't even be classified dangerous, since they are literally uninhabitable.

[@jonnathanj1]

Me vi toda la serie estos días, espero con ansias el siguiente capitulo

[@Meta_Mage]

As someone who had a base in the skin bandit zone before you made an excellent choice.

[@robertaperture1443]

The part where the two robots started fighting with hardcore cyberpunk music randomly playing in the background got me good 😂

[@crumbopulisrouge3806]

WOOOOOOO PITS BASE YEAAAAAA

[@Tigtone_85]

Awesome base and location man those copper ore drills are so nice really should be in vanilla imo. Good thing you didn't try to connect the walls to the tower if your base is not completely ringed in walls the game may spawn enemies directly inside it. It relies on a full perimeter to determine these things some get away with using terrain features but its always a risk without a full ring of walls. Aviticus's blood prince series has a perfect example of this at play where the Bastards keep spawning directly on top of him inside his hideout base.

[@CyberBeep_kenshi]

Ye, imho, the mod isn't cheating, but a nescecity:)

[@redtemplar3330]

Do u know the drill mod?

[@farbonsai540]

Hey Paganacho, I heard you are having some problems with ACID RAIN! I found that an easy solution to this is to give your most vulnerable characters straw-hats and dust-coats. You can get free dust-coats from grass pirates which can be found around the stormgap coast and free straw hats from Rebel farmers which appear any where. Love the vids, keep up the good work!👍

[@sergiuanghel3136]

You can buy the some dust coats at the city of the white gorilo

[@karatexperience]

Don't want to spoil anything to you but you are now literal neighbours to the skin bandit leader.

[@MugiwaraBOI2870]

[@noyce.]

[@yonblek4542]

Pro tip. Always have the gate on water. Enemies always go to your front gate. And them having to swim there gives you a bunch of time to gun them down with turrets.

[@Yora21]

When I build my very first base, I got the warning that a Dust Bandit raid was coming. I tore down my first crappy stone processor to use the material for an upgraded electric powered one and build a wind turbine to run it. And then I was cranking out stone and building material to complete a small wall around my single house and my stone and iron processor before the raiders arrive. And then the wind died down. No time to tear down the new stone processor and build a hand-powered one. Just desperately hoping that the wind would start again so I can close the last hole in my wall. That one got very close.

[@b0nerlord]

[@Tennoz]

What a coincidence... I have a base in leviathan coast and had two scouts down in the pits. I decided to make a small outpost for storage and recovery while down there and it turned into a multi week base building adventure but didn't feel that difficult. In my defense though I did ally with crab raiders and tech hunters also sent support sometimes which fought with my allied crab raiders lol. I didn't prospect much since it was supposed to just be an outpost but the crater just east of crab town is amazing. It's so close that you can't build in all of it initially but it has tons of stone, an iron node and a pretty bad copper node. The best part of it though is that you only have a very small entrance to the area so easy to defend. There are also ruins nearby that supply you with some early iron plates and electrical from the spiders. Also there is an AMAZING copper node really close on a cliff nearby (150). I have my town attacks set to high and raids set to 3 but with a few turrets it's not too bad since reevers have 0 harpoon resist. Also hydroponics helps a lot.

[@EaGilgamesh]

When I'm switching base locations I always bring a fuel generator and a packbeast full of fuel just in case for stuff like the wind stopping

[@bototonyi]

Finally, the empire of Van Damme will raise soon.

[@nerfmodderguy217]

Been watching a lot of your content recently due to the algorithm and I gotta say that I’m impressed, good work and thanks for all the little tips that are in them! Small tip for you about crossbow and harpoon turrets, the higher they are in elevation, the more damage they do. It’d be a good idea to build a few on top the tall tower you built, provides 360 degree range of view and lotsa dmg

[@Tigtone_85]

+1 to this I always grab that bp from the hub or somewhere early on its cheap and a few fabrics can shelter 50 dudes. Mercenary tents work great for on top of watchtowers to keep turret gunners safe too and look great on top of them.

I wonder if you would manage to do it in the Srieking Forest, this place is much tougher to build anything inside due to non-stop attacks from several groups of 20-30+ naked dudes. This place is actually the hardest one to build a base in imo.

Hmm I wouldve never known this was the hard start spot...I usually start in the ashlands to do a mediocre hard start. Maybe ill use this one now... if I want an easier start.

[@lordjustinian2913]

One place that is more hostile to humans is The Deadlands, you cannot use wind turbines at all because it just doesn't have any wind, so generators are your best bet. Now I would say a rule to make it harder would be "No Skeletons or Hivers," because turns out Hivers are also immune to acid.
