(Super Dead) Food for NPC Patrols

Description
This mod was made for the Kenshi experimental branch but should work with the stable branch but i have yet to test it.

This mod should also be fully save game compatable.

This mod is the first part of a larger series I have plans on making, which will be based around increasing the presence of food In Kenshi.

What this mod does:

-Adds a various food items to characters in many NPC patrols ranging from Dust Bandits to Paladins!

-Soldiers carry different types of food depending on their faction's climate.
Higher ranking soldiers also have a higher chance to carry more expensive and nutritious food.

For example: Dust Bandits carry chewsticks but Dust Bosses carry bread or sometimes Dustwiches.

I have separated food into five catagories. To make it simple to figure out what NPCs should carry.

-I Desert Food: Cactus/Wheat based food
-II Swamp Food: Rice/Greenfruit based food
-III Temperate Food: Wheat/Greenfruit based food
-IV All Areas Cooked: Cooked Meat based food
-V All Areas Raw: Raw Meat

Note: Many NPCs carry bread as a placeholder since my knowledge of the game's lore is not the best.
This will change as I have more time to explore and research the game world.

If you have any suggestions for faction/rank specific food items or find any NPCs that are consistently not carying food, please tell me in the respective discussion thread.

@House Karling. The chance is very high but I can't remember exact numbers.

The mod started out as a personal fix and is balanced around mods that let you field larger forces. I got tired of micro managing food and this was a simple/realistic fix. The idea being that if you're already wiping patrols with ease food is probably just a chore at that point.

If you are running a similar game it might fit. If you're running a smaller scale game it may or may not fit, I haven't tried. Either way the mod should be removable mid game with no issues.

How common is it to encounter an NPC with food with this mod? I like the idea, but I worry that it will make food too prevalent.

alrighty thanks for the answer !

"will this turn on food usage for some squads then?" No. it was something i thought about messing around with but never really got around to.

or maybe its town patrols bit in doubt on the top of my head.

will this turn on food usage for some squads then? like band of bones will always have maxed out hunger with regen

@Pwnicus Correct, hungry bandits do not carry any food.
Pwnicus 1 Dec, 2018 @ 7:15pm 
But still not Hungry Bandits right? Otherwise they'd be ...Sated Bandits?

@Perichondrium Glad I'm not the only one who thinks it wwould make the game more interesting.
I'm looking at something like what you described but I'm out of my depth and it's unlikely anything will come of it.
However I will make sure to post it if i succeed!

I have been looking for mod similiar to this one to make food a goal for NPC's so it doesn't seem the player character is the only one fighting for their life because of starvation or malnutrition. If it is even possible to do it is my only wish for this to be added to Kenshi. I may attempt this myself but I would like you to try since I see you have already created a mod yourself and hold a similiar image of what would make the game better.
