Kenshi, But My Only Goal Is To Become A Millionaire...

Kenshi is known for being a tough game with a rough experience, and today we'll be pushing that game to its lengths by trying to become a millionaire as fast as possible. No mods, no cheats, no glitches and no exploits - left to my own devices without a clue in the world on how to even start...
But how long does it take, to make a million cats in Kenshi?

[@ItsJabo]

First Kenshi video!!! Nervous but I absolutely love this game and would love to explore similair games to it if this video is recieved well. Have a good week guys and make sure to Subscribe... or else 🔫🤨

[@fatraccoon9123]

This is my favorite game ever glad you played it

[@pineapplepie4929]

poop

[@ItsJabo]

@@fatraccoon9123 you're welcome, I fucking lvoe Kenshi!

[@Niceler]

is there a quest that almost ruined kenshi????

The pathway between ‘I’m gonna make money the legal way’ to ‘I now own a crime syndicate and am wanted for several accounts of drug smuggling and murder’ is always a delight to see whenever people play this game.

[@andromidius]

The game seems hell bent on making it the only logical choice. Legal money making is a grind, to put it mildly. Even feeding yourself is a struggle. And then bandits show up, murder your crew and steal all your hard earned goods - showing that crime really does pay.

[@lilmancc35]

Its like me in skyrim. I always start off as an adventurer then i end with being the kind of theives and the pickpocket god.

[@GabzterDuck]

Literally how Kenshi goes everytime tbh

[@Hirohitorunguard]

@@andromidius at least its realistic.

[@Existential_Robot]

Beware the pipeline.

[@7highstraight]

In your duel with Sad Neil and GiggleWater, it's worth noting that only characters trained in martial arts can punch metal without hurting themselves. Gigglewater crippled his own arm throwing those hooks at Neil.

[@VasiliyOgniov]

Additionally Skeletons deal additional damage with martial arts

[@carterschulte7997]

I did not expect Jabo to be the one to fill the Torsolo sized hole in my heart, but there it is. Really hope we see some more Kenshi down the road.

[@Scanlaid]

Ey go meet my pal Reggie

[@KavsLockedOut]

@@Scanlaid Reggie goes so fuckin hard. gives that early AA vibe forrrr sure

[@seanm241]

@@Scanlaid slippin makes good kenshi vids too

[@Scanlaid]

@@seanm241 thanks king, I'll check em out.

[@Scanlaid]

@@KavsLockedOut "early AA vibes" is exactly right. Sperg lord writeup inbound. I tagged on at the tail end of "that" and AA got bigger. I don't blame the guy or think he should do anything different, but I did enjoy his older angle where the philosophizing came after a long-wrought storyline. One that was ultimately extremely stupid at its core, but made meaningful. That shit takes a lot of work over a long time, and AA has streamlined his style, FWIW. But I miss the mostly goof long series though. Had more time to breathe if that makes sense in a corny armchair produce nothing only consume type of angle 😎

[@TheKingreiko]

I did not think of Kenshi, but this definitely suits your style. this is going to be a good one.

[@HimeaKitsune]

The look on Jabo's face when he opens the door and a whole seafood restaurants worth of crabs just spill out is so priceless.

[@Mill_hause]

I still think the best/fastest way to grind money is making Red Bandanas. Half piece of cloth for each bandana. Cloth its usuallt 15cs and bandanas can vary from 5 to almost 1000cs each, depending on quality. They are easy to find, light, dont require smuggling and are relatively easy to farm. Just need to grind some money to buy the base schematics for it, which are usually available on any armor/clothing shop on any city. Buy a house right beside a general store who sells cloth, buy all their stock every day, as soon as they open (6am), spend the day crafting bandanas, and you should be able to sell a batch before they close (11pm) and also restock, before spending the night back at crafting them. You should be making more money than you are spending in a handfull of days (starting from zero armorsmith skill). Notice that the better you are at this skill, not only the quality of the equipment will be better but you will also be crafting it significantly faster. Around 20mins each bandana at 80 skill. Also keep in mind that its faster to go from lvl 0 to 80, than 80 to 90, and so on. So remember to keep someone only doing this if you want mastercraft quality equipment.

[@thecorbohole3637]

The Kenshi fans have been blessed with content. There are not many of us, but we are ride or die for this beautiful, shitass game

[@MistaFahrenheit]

Kenshi is an obscure masterpiece. The amount of time you can spend on this game without getting bored is incredible.

[@anangrydruid6990]

God yes Kenshi. This is without question my favorite game. So glad you're going stuff in it

[@HexadecimalDump]

I'd love to see more Kenshi challenges, this is a very fun game

[@LoFiAxolotl]

Jabo playing Kenshi? I was feeling shit today but this literally made me feel better! Favorite game ever and well not the worst youtuber ever! Thank you! Hope the video does well and you'll make more

[@samsterling3332]

letting bertha out of prison was like if the american government just let Al Capone off with just a fine after they got him on tax evasion

[@zach3229]

As someone who has never even heard of kenshi this video is incredible and feels like a massive fever dream

[@ryshow9118]

I've seen around about 30 or so from different creators and I assure you that they all do😂

[@notfred1233]

Little kenshi advice for ya in the future. If you want to avoid raids on your base, it helps to build something (literally anything iirc) a mile or 2 out from it. The visitors will wait at the halfway point inbetween the two indefinitely. And never make it in to either location

[@Nasu-]

This was such a cinematic masterpiece i would love to see this made into a movie show or an anime. RIP Big Bertha gang.

[@Alte.Kameraden]

9:23 it's actually very possible to live a city life in the game. I set up in Stoat which is one of the UC cities. Saved up from minding copper and looting skimmers/bandits. Bought a building, set up a storage container so I can farm ore more efficiently. Saved up enough money to buy research book, bought a bigger building as well. Researched Leather and Cloth Crafting, then later Plate Crafting. Started crafting armor, got to Specialist Grade and I could sell some armor for like 3000 Cats or more each piece. I could easily afford to buy materials to repeat the process from the local shops. So I was pretty legal.

[@froo5667]

The best way to make money in Kenshi by far is making bandanas. I've probably made over a thousand bandanas, the specialist grade selling for about 1500 when they only cost ~1/3 of a fabric

[@iPxL4RRY]

great video Jabo and Jabo's editor , i missed all the streams for this game sadly so thanks for being amazing

[@SirAlienGuy]

Yessss I love Kenshi!!! So glad to see you cover it! Hope you do additional Kenshi challenges in the future

[@Necro718]

The only true way Kenshi ever really ends, dying to the wildlife, and crucifying your own people. Or ending up as a lone survivor off the backs of 80+ hard working paid for individuals lol

[@DropsOfMars]

I hope this video does numbers, Kenshi content is always fun to see

[@SparkSovereign]

Two things jumped out at me from what I learned watching the adventures of Torsolo and the Torsquad. 1) stealing yourself some super fast skeleton legs would probably have made everything easier, even if you weren't able to make all your money just from stealing. Legless sneaking is apparently stupid good, and easy to skill grind. 2) the dialogue writing in this game is actually pretty fun! I don't know that I want to dive in myself, but I definitely want to see more content about it. What a delightful fun video! I hope it does well enough you're able to justify doing more Kenshi content, it's got such fantastic emergent storytelling for these kinds of runs.

[@VaporCun]

Ah yes Kenshi the gateway drug of rpg management sims, only a matter of time before you start uploading Rimworld challenges

[@YoutubeLoves2Cenosor]

This story arc was hilarious from a humble miner/ cat burglar by night to a drug kingpin hahah

[@JoshTehVideoMaker]

Never heard of kenshi in my life, hope to see more this was refreshing and hilarious as always

[@FiggyJr]

Absolutely loved the video. I’ve never heard of kenshi but you made it hilarious to watch

[@gabelivers1186]

I'm so happy you're playing this it's such a great game and doesn't see enough proper credit

[@lamedrawings]

Oh wow, Jabo playing Kenshi is something I wouldn't expect but here we are

[@Aundaay]

I have watched this video 3 times already and am fascinated with the prospect of this becoming a series. Love the videos, Jabo!

[@Cheetoflake]

This is the first time I'm hearing about Kenshi, and I would be happy to see more content from this game! I might check out this game and play it too

[@arepupu]

This was a really enjoyable watch. Would love to see you play more Kenshi! Also glad to see you playing other games too :)

[@OmegaMercenary]

Been waiting for this for forever, easily one of the best games I’ve ever played and it was a blast watching you play this

[@rikstan15]

Great video Jabo and Benpai also that thumbnail is amazing props to Chase for it

[@johngroft5734]

you did a great job on the video, id love to see more content on kenshi and maybe a few other while you're at it!

[@Cybertech1050]

a wonderful video, good job Jabo.. time to binge all the vods because i completely missed all these stream lmao

[@Drawfill]

I love seeing people get into kenshi. This game is SO under-rated. Its probably my favorite sandbox open world out there tbh.

[@MrTheQuestioner]

This was such a rollercoaster of emotion, I loved it

[@luandourado7249]

I just loved every minute of this video. Ty for sharing it with us. Hope to see more Kenhi in the future.

[@huff3782]

I had to pause the video at some parts because I was laughing so hard it caused me to choke on my dinner. Would love to see you make more videos in whatever games you've got inspiration for!'

[@Erosuorc]

Dude I’m stoked to see you playing kenshi !!! Such an awesome, beautiful, & brutal game It’ll be years still. But the dev is making another game. There’s an older ama with him & his sister or wife answering (whoever wrote all the commentary in game) and they touch on the next entry a handful of times

[@Mana-jh6bt]

I didnt know anything about the game but it really was enjoyable to watch the vid. You're making great content !

[@lovelyangel2366]

Knew nothing of this game, but it was fun, love all the content that comes as always

[@dandelaney5711]

I watched the streams for this, absolutely hilarious, some of my favorite streams I've watched.

[@thebugaboo]

great the video , man. would love to see you play more of this game

[@mxmissy]

I had no idea what this game was, and while I follow you for Bethesda content, this was still bloody amazing.

[@crunchie388]

Oh hell yeah! nearly an hour long video! Jabo Imma be real with ya chief, I would watch just about anything you post, even if it isn't fallout or elder scrolls. I love the way you play games and interact with chat, to me you have 10 points in charisma. :)

[@Amogius]

I have 1200 hrs on Kenshi and i have still never seen anyone escape jail like you did on 7:36. Thats why i love kenshi, there are always new things to discover.

[@mikavituhandle]

Kenshi is definedly a contender for a game to play for a rest of your life.

[@saheilaanarzee5552]

wooo!! didnt expect kenshi to show up in one of your vids, but daymn. if you enjoy it please definitely do some more :D

[@werd3426]

42:20 If I saw anything in the desert running towards me at 35mph I'd shit my pants

[@Traphic_Kone]

This video was amazing hope you keep making the kind of content you enjoy

[@repghost9481]

now general sam and jabo need to do a kenshi vid!

[@cashel1111]

this is a bloody great view of how fun that game is when you first start and you are working it all out

[@feefifodum]

Good video, nice change of pace from usual Bethesda content!

[@migueldiaz3439]

Thank you Jabo. I've heard of this game a few years ago and then forgot about it. Was interested then and now thanks to you and it's recent sale on steam I can enjoy hell. It's pretty fun so far!

[@papayohan8993]

Loved it! Honestly can't wait for more kenshi!!!

[@jakemiller2507]

Very excited to see you make a Kenshi video. Would love to see more

[@pyro6957]

[@acyrosriven]

I WAS WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG

I bought this game because of you. Now I can't stop playing. I'm enjoying the variety stuff

[@ValTheGnat]

[@UnusualDomenic]

Love the video ❤ definitely do more random games outside of your usual 😮

[@ackerslacker1233]

Love you bro, Kenshi is amazing and I'm glad you picked it up

[@LeafyMouse4478]

Can’t wait to see this video I just started playing this game and it is so much fun

[@Andinout]

Since Big Bertha's body was not recovered and was missing I think she set it up so she can have a mill for her self.

[@erickfw197]

Really cool video! Just a fun fact, hashish is actually a word for weed irl, so censoring weed with it literally does nothing lol

[@TheBadgi]

Dude, great to see you playing Kenshi. Such a hidden gem.

[@animegu9934]

I CANT BELIEVE YOU ARE PLAYING THIS MASTERPIECE

A game and a creator I’d never thought would mix. W upload

[@mewtuwa]

Heck yeah, Kenshi! Always love to see more of it.

[@aoihitori]

Damn, the first one once he got escape from prison was to attack the Emperor. Skips few steps to fight one of the Big Boss in the game. Thanks that made my day. 😂

This was absolutely delightful and a rollercoaster, 10/10 would kenshi again

[@homelywriter]

I clicked on a kenshi video not realizing it was also a jabo video. Honestly one of the best surprises ever!

[@MrOrdosan]

I can confirm. I have never heard of Kenshi. I saw Jabo trying to get 1mil and knew this had to be painful and beautiful to watch.

[@joelpink4981]

I loved this video! Never heard of this game but looks super cool

[@Rippietrippie]

I have never seen this game before but I absolutely loved every minute of that, I’m definitely gonna have to check it out for myself!
