Hint for the day: Animals can be made to rest by picking them up with a character and interacting with a bed or sleeping roll. The character will place the animal in the sleeping spot. Albeit the animal who is dropped in a bed will just ragdoll on the ground (apparently) but will not stand up again until you pick them up again. Animal 'rest' animations will only properly play if you pick-up and drop them on a sleeping roll. They'll kneel down appropriately. Consequently, it is important to tell you that animals heal MUCH faster than humanoids. Like several times faster naturally. So once you add the 4X boost of a bed roll, or heaven forbid, a bed, it can recover health stupid-fast. On the order of 12 or 16 times as fast as a standing humanoid. Skeletons beat them on recovering 'repaired' damage while standing, but that is situational, and they require a skeleton repair bed for perma-damage. Ergo, animals, especially bone dogs make rather effective clean-up for lightly armored opponents or bowmen. Set em and forget em, as they'll rip bowmen to bits once they turn "Teen" or "Adult". Once they're "Elder"? Their stat boosts make their attack damage and speeds turn them into a veritable blender. Rend the living daylights out of light-armored or naked opponents bloody quick.

[@stuartsmith1139]

@Peter Parlee-Carr this is just good life advice

[@tyb3166]

Park has a 23,000 Bounty! I think him and Sand are smart enough to think of robbing/screwing over a small police station for the 23,000 bounty. Sand would be able to sneak in, and break out Park in the middle of the night easily, and if you turn him in hes not going to be in bad condition. I think the two should think about it.

[@chandlerhefley9161]

That would be one hell of a payday!

[@Jiveloaf]

Can you turn in allies? You can't attack them so he'd have to wait for him to be KO'd by someone else, and then haul him to town I guess? Could also just rob a store or two for about the same risk/reward ratio

[@Pantjay]

@@Jiveloaf you can pick up allies at any time, just have to get to the right station

[@dnnygray]

You might want Hobbs to turn in Park since Sand also has a bounty of 4,000. He might get arrested while trying to turn in Park.

[@ordinarybro1241]

I always keep bounties on my characters, there is something satisfying in knowing that HN wants 50k or more for my head :P

[@Taiyama2]

23:21 I finally caved and bought Kenshi because of your roleplay. As soon as you mentioned "Beak thing" (or, as I call them, "Beak Fuckers") the PTSD flashbacks set in. How is something so huge and powerful so fast, god damn it?? The horror... The *horror*...

[@timb5434]

Taiyama2 how has it been? I’m getting a cpu just to play Kenshi 🤘🏼

[@lexsamreeth8724]

They used to be able to SPEAK...

[@JoneshSwe]

Nice, it feels like I waited so long for this! A tip or two; 3x speed is BAD when you can't steamroll everything in a biome, you could have probably spotted those bonedogs earlier if you went slower. Also, you sold your dustwich... to buy more food. One dustwich feeds a normal character almost two days or about... almost 5 dried meat IIRC :P If you're worried about things taking too long without 3x speed, perhaps try to have more cuts when there is little happening (if you have the time to record more that is). I really don't want to see Sand and company die because of a missed enemy :v Like, it's easy to miss enemies even on slower speeds. I almost ran straight into a group of bandits that were tougher than me at the time because their clothing blended into the ground. It was literally like "Huh, did that rock formation move?", pause, zoom in, "Oh...". Fogmen are also particularly good at sneaking up on you and catching you in a split second.

[@Jaydoog04]

Damn, I hate it when my characters come down with a case of "an entire pack of bonedogs." Really ruins any plans I had setup.

[@ryconroleplays]

Pretty much!

[@bionicallychallenged7290]

Man, this freaking game works so well for your playstyle.

[@telesilla]

The animal gods of Kenshi must be looking out for Sand & Co-that gorillo showed up at exactly the right moment! I enjoyed the sort of rambling path the gang took in this episode. I found myself wondering if maybe Sand and Park feel a little overwhelmed at how many choices they have, like, all of their energy for most of their lives was spent on work and planning their escape, but now that they’re out, the decisions get more complicated. Sure, they want revenge, but there are so many paths leading to that end. Anyway, excellent storytelling, as usual. :)

[@FrAvatar]

Also, buy lanterns from the hiver general merchants. Infinite lightsource that you wear on your belt bought for under 100 cats, I've only ever seen 2 per merchant, and they don't seem to restock, or at least if they do it's super rare as I've never seen them respawn in stock after buying them once (from any specific merchant). But yeah belt light source helps to counter when working in the dark debuff. And makes it easier to spot your guys when it's dark. Good for KZbin, bad for stealth, but if you're trying to stealth, just take off the lantern.

[@ryconroleplays]

Nice didn't think about the dark working debuffs being removed by that

[@FrAvatar]

@@ryconroleplays heh well I think the hive merchants also says the lanterns will protect you from the fogmen in the fog, but I'm not convinced about that part and I was definitely not going to for !Science! it until my squad are strong enough to take them out if the lantern doesn't repel them.

@@FrAvatar 3 years later does it work?

[@ThatRPGuywithtoomanyOCs]

@@mckitsune7600 No. The lanterns against fogmen is a scam, one he gets a lot of fools to buy into. Lanterns are good for many things, but staying hidden from insane bugs is not one of them.

"The rain in Vain falls mainly on the slain"

[@sickbozo8152]

beak things, kenshis way of saying : no nooby area

[@timb5434]

Last episode, “Let’s save up 10,000 to join the Shenobi Thieves.” Immediately buys unnecessary things. 🙃

[@manwithaplan27jp37]

Another video for are almighty overlord Rycon. And god damnit I'm in and out of concisions due to the zland cowabunga and it seems another cowabunga (but light version) is to be had.

[@SupaSecretSensei]

*Big TIP* Number 4 when a member is unconscious or being carried you can access their inventory by using an awake member to "Trade" (While awake member is highlighted, right-click on carried or sleep member and click trader) this will allow the awake member to access the sleeping's inventory to place or remove items.

[@parrishr.8923]

you want a beak thing sized man, a shek and an old martial artist to pay an exorbitant price to join a thieves guild?

[@SupaSecretSensei]

*tiny tip* # 3 You can "Pick Up" animals and place them in sleeping bags... they will not go there or get out on there own... you will have to pick them up to remove them from the bag.

[@bingofringe1397]

Honestly love this channel

[@princekyros]

There's a shinobi tower in admag...

[@plaguepartyy]

I'm so hooked on this series.. originally saw generalsam do a few episodes playing this game on his channel and it intrigued me so I recently dug further and found this channel and playthrough and I must say I'm even more intrigued and entertained than before. This is seriously amazing stuff, can't wait to get into more recent stuff on your channel!

[@Leifreon]

I am way late to this, and I hope I'm not corrected on it later. But I just wanted to say thank you for this series. It's the first I found where the person playing isn't abusing boring af exploits to max out thievery and any other stat you can exploit to max level in an hour or 2. Incredibly refreshing to see.

[@bandolando3265]

Just in time, i just sat down with a beer and some chips & salsa, thanks rycon! You always get a like before i even watch the video because your content is that good. Park needs to be rewarded for almost defeating that berserker last episode, and for defending his friends till he couldn't get up anymore. What a legend

[@loudgbertalgree4266]

Those beak things are really scary and will outrun even the fastest

[@epower8795]

Damn, Kenshi seems a little like Australia in that ALL the fauna is trying to kill you. Glad the boys and the much-chewed on Dogmeat made it through in one piece.

[@FrAvatar]

Early on the episode where there seems to be a dust storm, but status is normal, when you have your whole squad selected the status it shows is from the last person in the squad, in this case, Dogmeat. And if I recall correctly, bonedogs are immune to most environmental debuffs, (at least immune to acid and sand from what I've seen) It's possible the dust storm was affecting your other characters. But it does also happen that you have the blowing dust graphics but you're not technically in a dust storm also, so whatever I guess?

[@ironlion45]

At hive villate: The damn fish, man!

[@fiddlesticks8142]

That beak thing scare though. Lmao. Thought it was gonna getcha for sure!

[@crazerenyu6875]

''wildlife continues to save you''

[@robby2289]

anyone who has NOT played kenshi and is watching this now from 23:58 the BEAK THING is pretty much your worst nightmare and if you set up a base and you did not find out beforehand there was a nest of them around good luck lmao!!!!

[@lurnfitness572]

I was so sad when you decided not to take the map to Mongrel. Sounds like such a fun adventure for Park and Sand.

[@chaza-wh1yh]

360p FTW

[@magpiejames1440]

You can select an unconscious person to see if there is a bounty on them or not .There wasn't one on the berserker, which is why the police weren't interested.

[@magpiejames1440]

Also, you might consider carrying Dogmeat when you need too run. Since she's just a pup, she can't move that fast. She'll be a force to reckon with when grows up though.

[@joshuastender4871]

@@magpiejames1440 Park is a good candidate

[@chandlerhefley9161]

Just found your channel yesterday thanks to this series! Awesome work :) *Suggestion:* You should build your settlement on that peninsula just outside of Vain at 20:39 . It may be a easy spot to defend and prosper?

[@benkii4905]

I can think of sand relaxing he is going to need to leave dogmeat by the beakthing and the pack of bonedogs

I was wondering the same

[@billylion3073]

dental work he said it in the last video plus its you tube upload schedules are a myth

[@SolidSnnake]

Is probably way too late but for animals to use a bed you have to pick them up and put them in, you also have to take them out or theyll stay there forever

[@TeamKilla1985]

Create distraction with prisoner, while your sneaky character is inside one of the buildings

Omg the shinobi thieves live in that town too also you missed Ruka dog in that bar

[@MestariaGame]

if you click the up arrow on the left side you can see more info like current move speed of the target which may help

[@SupaSecretSensei]

*Tiny tip* Number 2 the captured enemy must have a bounty, even if it's a small one in order to get the option to turn him in... *Xtra Tip* Using your captured enemy strip him naked, heal him, when he wakes up attack him when he falls heals him again and repeat... you can even throw him in your sleeping bag in order to make his healing faster... as soon as he gets up drop him... and repeat

There is a mod to add backpacks for dogs (called dogbackpack). The default game only has backpacks for Garru and Bulls.

You can make a lot of money while training in those hiver villages, just lure gorillos or beeak things and sell their skin, some beak thing nests spawn really close to the villages.

Kenshi+Rycon=Addiction btw. Rycon: Did you saw the review of Kenshi from SsethTzeentach? Its "freakin beautiful" like some gentleman from New Zealand would say ;P

[@Bob.Roberts]

If you would have gone back to those ruins near the Shek town and scavenged the rest of the junk, you likely would have had enough money to join the Shinobi. Why the heck would you carry that berserker around, all the way to the Hive village, just to then drop him and beat his ass? Pretty sure if you'd bring the berserkers back to that hornless Shek quest giver, he'd accept them as tribute, regardless of what he said. And yes, there was a Shinobi tower right there in Admag, lol.

[@stevenjohns1322]

Hi dude, I watch a guy called Biscuitdog play Kenshi and he has a goat called Bait, it’s my favourite character from what I can see Dogmeat has a lot of fans already so look after him. BTW I’m a new subscriber and I’m loving your channel you are very talented

So what happened to the "upping Kenshi to two ep's/week" as promised in ep.4? As of now you got 120K+ views on this series. Perhaps you should prioritize this a bit?

I wish

[@caesarthemonkey2488]

Editing videos is a very precarious process, but videos like this dont require much editing so ig that cant be why. Maybe gameplay? It must take a while to record the gameplay with the cuts.
