For "Swamp Shaman" you can add this shaman to creature faction, like Faceless (that guy, on the islands, who have faction those long-neck creatures)

Some of the starts might be incompatible with the current version of Kenshi as the mod is over a year old. I plan to update it in the near future.

Disgruntled Swampers start just crashes the game after the initial loading screen.

Nice starts. Probably the best ones on the workshop.

That is a rather crummy situation to be in and I completely understand the reluctancy to do so. :(

I do hope that you get your rig repaired without too much hassle, though! Best of luck in that regard. Oh! And thank you kindly for the prompt response, it is much appreciated. :)

I can't play the game to test things currently as my main computer is in need of repairs. However, I can try to fix any bugs/inconsistencies and make minor adjustments that people want. I can also add starts if they fit in with what is already in the mod, but I am reluctant to do that as I cannot test them until I have my computer back.

Simply curious but: Are you planning on continuing development of this mod? I do hope that doesn't come off as rude, I am simply curious. Lovely stuff, by the way. :)

These are some fun starts, thanks!

Wow, these are some really good starts. I've always felt vanilla Kenshi was missing variety for it's starts, and this fixes it. Thank you.

the reason the animals still attack you when you take swamp shaman start is because the faction they are in is not classified as a "real" faction so just upping the relations doesnt work
