[@JackSpackProductions]

Park has some massive balls. Dude just stole a blood spider's dinner and walked off.

[@PerryFogelman]

Watching all the green numbers floating around is so satisfying. On the other hand, seeing a sea of red is quite traumatizing. Park and Garry have a blood bond now.

[@Luxor6yl]

You should come back with Park and get Hamut, he and Miu were supposed to be hired at the same time, they have a lot of dialogue with each other

[@Zenoasis3]

"A dog can't man a turret" Dogmeat: "wall gun go brrr"

[@YouWarhammer]

"People accuse me of playing things up sometimes..." As they should! How dare you make something potentially not so entertaining or exciting to make an hour long episode not just the dragging grind that Kenshi can be a lot of times. Srsly though, I appreciate the suspenseful music, the sound of panic, played up or not, when things go sideways, makes this already enjoyable let's lay even more so!

[@averymccoytarnished6782]

Yeah, right? Like that's literally his job - it's WHAT WE CAME FOR!! How dare he give us what we want. Truly a villain

[@DanDirik]

Hobbs didn't use his crossbow during the raid because you put the bolts in his backpack and took it off of his back. And you didn't need to do that at all, combat speed doesn't affect crossbows.

[@BalborValis]

Hobbs will know this so should have not been an issue, this is an RP play thought so 🤷‍♂️

[@21TheRonin]

That. Also, every time he removes Sand's practically empty Thieves Backpack during combat it triggers me slightly.

[@lordfriedrick7911]

That girl Mia is really skilled on farming Like level 40 I think is perfectly suited for your two camps

[@hakalaxen]

Adrenaline was high at 36:30. The fact that you run this Iron Man and on top og that risked Parks life for Gary takes balls! I felt genuine Joy when i saw Park survive the blood spiders in the swamp

[@Veyoun]

Oh no... Garry... GOD damn Park is a HERO ..dang i really like that Shek a lot. Sand did right to have him rescued when he escaped the Slavery. And Green? Dang.. thats really a badass shooter for a hand full of cats so to say hehehe ^^ You should Capture Stubbs and convince him to join you ^^

[@nickmoore6861]

Hazard Redmane I don’t believe he has the mod for that, sadly. Though I dunno if it’s also possible in main game?

[@Veyoun]

@@nickmoore6861 Hmm you are right, if he don't has the Mod then there is no recruiting i fear ^^

[@Trooper43G]

I'm a year late to the party here, but I HAVE to note: Sand didn't have him rescued. They both escaped at the same time, then when Sand was starving and limping, Park ran up, joined him, then literally carried Sand over his shoulder for a while until they got food. Park's ALWAYS been the champion of this group.

[@paulungetum754]

Miu has a ton of farming skill, she can be your main farmer in your outpost. You finally got Green the second best recruit in the game behind the god living in Mongrel right now. Get Green some Drifter leather jacket it will give him some nice bonuses on crossbows. A little tactical advise dont know if it still works though. You can place turrets right between the first and second gate in your outpost with a clear line of sight on the enemies, that way you can get more shots off and then retreat behind your inner gate. Loving the series by the way!

[@paulungetum754]

@PabloEscobar Yes give this man some cookies!

[@greyhunter3271]

I love how lows first words where "I'm a worthless slave" and now she's the main provider of food for the village.

[@xantishayde-walker4593]

I think I know why Dogmeat was such a boss during that Band of Bones raid....it was that 20 in Turret skills. Totally boss. ;)

[@WorstGamer92]

Green and Miu are unique characters, that's why you could not customize them. Stubbs and hamut were unique too, shame that you pissed them off :'D

[@sianmorgan3588]

I love the fact you seem to care about all your dudes. Great series, enjoy every episode.

[@apparition8777]

Bloody great episode. Green is the best archer in the game and his backstory is badass too, glad you picked him up. Id also suggest getting Hamut as well, he fits well with the groups theme, have Park have a chat with him, I believe you can talk to him again on another character. If youre looking to get fast Cats, hash is the way to do it, though the closest settlement to sell for sizeable profit is Flats Lagoon unless you get a mod to add illegal merchants to other cities like the HN or youre up for a trip to the UC. Anyway great episode Rycon, keep it up!

[@JoneshSwe]

I always look forward to seeing these. Spoilers for the episode follows: 1) Nice intro! 2) You are entirely correct that bodies attract scavengers! Mostly it's stuff like say, Beak Things and such that eat corpses directly but I think even like hungry bandits are attracted to unconscious/dead animals with edible meat because they try and butcher them 3) With the fabric situation, you should try and get some hemp going. Uh, the Swamp might be a good place to look for that :v 4) Item furnaces just give you raw iron, it's easier to just get iron by mining or selling the weapons/armor. You might even let the items be, many items are not worth the time after a while like say, iron sticks of low grade :P 5) Lucky, that might have been a blood spider den! 6) Oh! They attacked the second gate too, nice. They still seem a bit confused. 7) Noooo! :((( Wow, at the edge of my seat here. I guess doing that messed with it's AI. It's too bad you can't really attack things in the water, but they can attack you... 8) Aye, Bonedogs are amazing. 9) Haha yes, Green is mean :D Unique recruits are almost always better than the generic ones :P But be careful, he's got a precision shooting of 1... You might want to start him off with a Toothpick, lest he start blowing off your peoples' limbs with carelessly aimed shots :v 10) Hahaha you should have taken the middle option. Stubs has got crazy eyes you see, so he's used to people thinking he's eyeballing them. If you heal him up and come back in like a week or something you can talk to him again :P 11) Miu is a good farmer at least, something you're looking for! 12) You get the opportunity to customize generic-type recruits when you recruit them. Unique recruits you have to bring to a plastic surgeon after recruiting them to be able to customize them. 13) Yeah, Hamut is very anti-slavery. I think you might be able to speak with him again, even before you leave. 14) Looking through the Band of Bones' remains to see if they got any standard quality Samurai leggings or heart protectors to sell would be a neat idea, and good to keep it off camera since that is just busy work :P Good episode, tense, exciting, loving all the voices etc. :D

[@Taiyama2]

Maybe you should put a saddle on Dogmeat's back, because she's carrying this team.

[@katsukikubota7549]

Intro about family and teamwork...fuck I hope no one dies in this one.

[@clayandsand]

Park: "This is me and Ruka in the hive all over again"

[@tomczakowski530]

I know this is old but I had to comment Park: Has flashback from the hive

[@akaiskander]

You really need to give some better weapons/armors to some of your workers like Kiji. Even though they are not primarily meant to be fighters, you never know when you need them, like during a raid. Just give them some looted stuff, at least. You can see planned attacks on the map tab. They usually let you know 2-3 days in advance. I plan my expeditions based on that, so I can avoid having a scenario like yours, when you were under attack in two places at the same time.

[@HighWarlordJC]

I can't believe what happened to Garry.. Talk about emotional highs and lows.

[@revengefullobster4524]

Definitely some high drama on this one. Anyone who plays this game knows how bad it sucks to see your guys getting eaten alive. I thought Park and Gary were done for. You should consider putting a couple turrets on the house for when the gates get breached, like having an inner keep. Great episode.

[@amulomni]

You should throw your defeated enemies into your sally port, after stripping them naked, and then leaving a few guys on the turrets for target practice whenever somebody wakes up. That would also help you sort which guys you've looted already. Also, you need lights in the sally port.

[@alexanderc9462]

You should mount a crossbow on dog meats back or something. Make him into a doggo tank with that turret skill.

[@ErikMalkavian]

34:00 The Man-Eater on Garry Too...LOLOLOL (Wow This One BAD Day! )

[@Tinfist-xi6fq]

Mad gaming respect for getting Gary and Park out of that situation alive honestly man that was huge that you pulled that off and got them out of there.

[@vije17]

I love the voice you do for green, and hivers in general

[@TheAleatoriorandom]

What an episode! Some people are suggesting hiring some mercenaries for dangerous travels. Sounds like a good invesment. If you can make a proper traging caravan full of goodies you will still make quite a profit while avoiding being eating. Untill you have enough strong fighters of your own, that is a good alternative.

[@PerryFogelman]

They really are. You can get a whole group of badass Tech Hunters for a whole week for a few thousand. I was surprised the first time I used them as they were so cheap considering how much help they were.

[@archmageguidla]

“What an episode!” I totally agree - thanks for the amazing entertainment. And don’t worry about the ups and downs of the story - just like the singer that knows to vary their volume and pace to get the most out of a song - so it goes with stories. This episode just happens to be the fortissimo part of this tale! 😱Greatly enjoyed. 👍🏼

[@nickmoore6861]

Perhaps hiring some mercenaries would be a good investment on the way back from Shark. Rather them being eaten than actual characters on the team, ey?

[@PhilMccamley]

Im late to the party but i love your kenshi series, a lot of satisfaction in seeing how you can craft one story that takes place in just one small area of the entire continent!

[@aldiorenaldo6032]

First time straight 1080p upload!! Neat!! 🔥

[@sickbozo8152]

i concur , thanks @rycon

[@PerryFogelman]

Likely because it was uploaded previously because of his wisdom tooth thing so it had time to process beforehand.

[@sickbozo8152]

@@PerryFogelman rycons wisdom teeth are wise XD

[@darthplagueis13]

Gotta love how he set Hobbs to ranged, then placed his bolts in the backpack and then had him take it off so he didn't have any ammo to work with....

[@vulcanus7127]

"Aha, seems that I am the victor!" ROFL, I love Green already!

[@WastelandDovahkiin]

This was quite an entertaining episode for sure! First with the simultaneous battles-the raid on the Sand Pit, and Park playing Superman in the swam. I was sure Gary was a goner. It amazes me that you haven't lost anyone yet! And then with the recruiting segment, that was hilarious with all the different voices and you trying to keep them all straight. I feel like you're starting to reach your limit on the number of different voices you can retain memory for, lol. But it's an impressive number, for sure. Great episode, Rycon. Kept me on the edge of my seat for sure.

[@andreasmild3670]

I'm freaking loving green's personality you've put on it xD

[@smilosabercat]

Rycon you continue to amaze and amuse, thank you for the great content.

[@koolgool]

So happy you got Green. I also got him in my party, and his crossbow skill really wowed me. I'd already settled on who my "main" people were when I brought him on, but Green muscled in and joined their ranks anyway.

[@Lindform]

Thoroughly enjoyed this episode, many emotions were felt! Even though you leaving my boy Park unattended made me anxious .. Also, if you ever feel the need for some watchtowers next to your mines, the ones in Shark that Park and Gary passend are available on the workshop.

[@jamie7472]

That got really intense there for a while. Awesome stuff. I hope we get to see greens skills in action next episode. He needs to work on his bar manner though.

[@jellymop]

59:05 my kind of lady 😂 Man this made me drop my weights I was laughing so hard.

[@genevievew.5837]

Good god I love this series. I'm so glad I came back to it after a year. So many new episodes.

[@zerodawn8554]

You should use Recruit Prisoner Mod for those band of bones

[@Nothh888]

Park is indeed a BLOODY LEGEND. Amazing episode Rycon!

[@anthony4048]

Loving the addition of music in these!

[@bionicallychallenged7290]

You can get a pretty nice advantage in fighting if you equip your people with sandstorm protection (during a sandstorm).

[@bionicallychallenged7290]

Also, if you press the medic button than the immediate action that all selected PC's will take is medic, regardless of other prioritized jobs.

[@jonhillman871]

that was so exciting i watched the scary parts twice. as for playing up the drama when garry went down...no i was really choked up too. you're roleplaying green as a silly. i'm liking the silliness. i love the new people and the direction this series is going.

[@Commandocheif99]

Park is secretly Leonidas from the Skyrim stories reborn 🤣

[@hamstrungharry259]

Also not so sure if you know it already but if you click the up arrow on the left side there you can see your land speed in miles per hour as well as other stats. Athletics alone isn't an indication of speed usually.

[@antifapers]

good episode.

[@The-Raven-0v-Abyss]

These episodes! This is the stuff of legend! This is why I am here. Yes Ry. Good show mate.

[@nateryan8167]

Rycon the floating item you spotted in the swamp was indeed your pack lantern it happens alot in my games as well

[@tomkelly00]

Lesson: never send only one person and a pack beast on an expedition. Lucky for him that one person was Park.

[@charlesballiet7074]

loving the music with your narration its so immersive. Great job!

[@graysuka]

Park just seems to have a knack for saving animals

[@andersankerstjerne846]

For the love of god, move your gate to the left side of the current one - you know, the direction that all your traffic and activity comes from! :-) Rycon, your series is tremendous but your appaling min maxing rattles my OCD to the point of stress!

[@SovietWarlock]

Rycon, I wold really appreciate if you could link the music you're listening in the background. It goes really well with Kenshi and that's tough to find. Thank you!

[@jonnielad6402]

Love seeing a new episode in my sub box keep up the great content!

[@nateryan8167]

Love watching this series as always thanks for the new episode

[@thatlass]

At least you didn't get raided by the Red Sabres, Blue Cleavers, Dust Bandits, Dust Hunters, Swamp Ninjas, and the Band of Bones all at the same time. ;D... ;-;

[@bg3929Z]

Elephant + Netch = Swamp Turtle

[@lurnfitness572]

Who else cheered when Park got to Garry?! Hahaha

[@deleteduser121]

Good job saving Garry!!!

[@rolandgunslinger37]

I have some questions about building in this game. What would happen if Rycon tore down a section of the older inner wall and the newer outer wall in the same area? Could he rebuild to link up to the newer outer wall and have a proper rampart his characters can path on? He could then rebuild the older inner wall section and maintain the "Sallyport area" and use the walls properly.

[@greyhunter3271]

Hindsight: having Park and Garry stay in the swamp village proply would have been a,better choice. Shame for Garry. Was a good pack mule.

[@brendonwiperi710]

Kia ora Bro! If you want to build up on members I'd recommend using capture mods.

[@BalborValis]

If you send someone off on a solo run don’t leave them in the same group.

[@sebastiancrystal6496]

I'm surprised that there where no skeletons in shark this time

[@ratman4733]

Does anyone know the song from 39:00 on wards??? :)

[@IceBlade1992]

wondering why was turret boys on passive they did not even shoot?

[@famishedpaladin2231]

I just get so sad when I see the turret guys shoot their friendly troops.

[@thea-rate6655]

If you can, you absolutely NEED to make Miu an engineer/crafter/scientist of sorts. Also, give her long, blonde hair. Her attitude already perfectly matches a character of the same name that I've seen, and it'd be hilarious to see her be essentially a blatant reference to that character. It'll be great.

[@steliokontos3935]

That's a nope. Unique characters should stay unique.

[@thea-rate6655]

Ah! Didn't know she was a unique character! My mistake.

[@steliokontos3935]

Hm. I don't recall if Stubs is anything special, but I believe Hamut is a freebie who has a fairly decent setup of starting stats. Miu is not very good at combat, but she comes with 60 in Farming and 30 in Cooking. Though like any character in Kenshi, she can be made an expert in combat if you wished. She's a bit of a whiner when the team is out and about, plenty of unique lines.

You can't customize unique characters (in regards to Lars compared to Miu).

[@gabrielstav]

@SaviorOfNirn Yes, at a plastic surgeon, but not at hire.

[@hamstrungharry259]

The item furnace unfortunately isn't so useful, it's probably more useful at the late game when you're crafting a lot of crap and need to get rid of them quick. :(
