Ahoy Lads,

A base atop a plateau would be a great challenge for you and something I would be interested in. Probably will need some sort of bridge mod.

[@justanotherhuumon]

Shift+F12 has completely changed how I construct cities. Thank you. Also stormwalls is an amazing little mod. I've been using them to fill out the foundations when my buildings are too tall. Really gives it an imposing feeling.

[@HeroInHisHead]

That's what I love to hear. So many people are either unaware of the ingame editor or terrified to use it. But it's such a great tool if used properly, which is why I make these videos. To show people the possibilities and encourage them to give it a shot themselves.

[@Eck5k]

Great video! It could be cool to se a skeleton inspired build

[@unknownself-kenshi]

Solid Shek outpost! Looks like something you'd see in Kenshi. I'm impressed that you've managed to get the wooden walkway to work in any base build - I tried it for 10 minutes once between storm houses and gave up. Would be cool to see Shek walking around in it and fighting some raids.

[@HeroInHisHead]

Maybe my next base build I'll drop some cinematic defense shots in the end show

[@unknownself-kenshi]

Sounds good, maybe a mountain pass bottleneck with bolts raining down... @@HeroInHisHead

[@HeroInHisHead]

@@unknownself-kenshi I know just the spot

[@SmilingFox0]

I love your eye for constructing these outposts and the commentary of what you were thinking as you made it is amazing! Would love to see your attempt at revamping some of the existing cities with the lore and aesthetic you have.

[@Dyna1One]

Absolutely epic, I'll definitely use this in my future playthrough. I assume I can just build stuff myself and then move things around with F12 to move things in place in order to keep the cost etc. Real? I'd be so happy to be able to build more freely

[@HeroInHisHead]

@Dyna1One absolutely. Just build with materials and then use the editor to move them where you want them. Just remember to save a reload once the buildings are moved to make them persistent.

[@Dyna1One]

@@HeroInHisHead Awesome! Yeah I've been watching your videos and shorts on building since I got the itch to play again (I get that once a year or 2) and I feel like this is gonna help a lot with the roleplay aspect

[@caidenhodges9103]

Nice video

[@RazorsharpLT]

Honestly dude you should do a mod like "new cities" or something, just to add fluff and lore, because i'm honestly shocked at how small most of the nations are, and how they lack fortresses that the enemy could encounter. Like having a fortress of Holy nation and Shek Kingdom on the frontline. FCS is really easy to use. Basically what you're doing here is FCS mid game.

[@trarco3787]

Love it! This is a perfect source of inspiration for my only sheks run :)

As always interesting!

[@williamlampke8083]

tips on building with f12 are missing thanks for making the content

[@HeroInHisHead]

If you haven't had a chance. Check out my Shorts on just that subject actually where I go over many of the aspects to building in shift f12 as well as asthetic tips

[@williamlampke8083]

@@HeroInHisHead i have wish there were more like it

[@HeroInHisHead]

@@williamlampke8083 I'll be dropping more soon my friend

[@OceanDrive321]

Please build during day time

[@keenb641]

What is shift F12? New to Kenshi, apologies for the noob question.

[@ace6967]

I'm the very first and I want to say that your videos are amazing Edit: very good building!

[@HeroInHisHead]

I really appreciate that! The response on these build videos has been awesome and I wish I had started doing them 2 years ago when people suggested it lol.

[@Rocksnoblade]

Cool vid bro 😇

[@youridepouri1366]

do you use a mod that makes you able to place towers closer to walls? i always have them turn red making me unable to close the gap woth wall or tower if i wanted to

[@HeroInHisHead]

When you're in Shift+F12 you can place in the red with no issue because editor supercedes the restriction. The only restrictions that it doesnt over shadow are interior exterior requirements and node requirements. You can also manually move things into position after placement with has no restrictions

[@youridepouri1366]

@@HeroInHisHead Alright, thank you!
