On the miniscule chance you read this man: When you get a feel for Kenshi up the 'Death modifier' to ~3x base value and limb loss to maximum. This means everyone will bleed out on the ground if they're not patched up by themselves or someone else. This also massively decreases the time needed for the toughness grind and decreases the time needed to properly wipe out camps, dens, barracks, and eventually cities. The worst part of Kenshi combat is people just don't want to die when knocked out and you can't hit them in comas.
