Left For Dead - Impossible Starts - UpdateV2

Description
Great Desert Start
You've gotten yourself into something you shouldn't have. Some guys from the United Cities cut off all your limbs, beat you up real good, and left you to die. Although hungry you used your clothing to bandage your wounds so atleast you're not bleeding anymore. The beating strenghtened your body, but people still recognise you in the United Cities because of some Wanted Posters.

Do you have what it takes to survive in this condition and take revenge on the United Cities?


Darfinger Shek start
You joined up with a Shek squad tasked by the Shek Kingdom to rescue an important shek from the clutches of the darkfinger cannibals. Things didn't go as planned and you ended up getting captured. After seeing all your squadmates being eaten by the cannibals, and you slowly losing your mind, strenght and limbs to captivity you somehow managed to find an opportunity to escape.

Will you be able to regain your strenght and exert revenge on the Cannibals?


Hiver Swamp
You've escaped your Hive a few weeks ago, but the outside world is harsh, after hearing of some particular substances that are supposed to feel good you ventured into the Swamplands. Unbeknownst to you, the substances aren't shared with everyone free of charge, and after the dealers found you smoking up half their supply they cut off your limbs and dropped your body in the wild.

Do you have what it takes to enact revenge on the Swampers, acquire new limbs, and get high on hashish?


Skeleton Holy Nation Start
1... 2... 3... REBOOTING
You were supposed to be smuggled across the Holy Nation to serve a Noble in the Great Desert as a Body Guard. However things didn't go as planned. You and your smugglers got ambushed by a Holy Nation Squad and you got dismembered and deactivated as a show of force. Luckily they forgot about your emergeny reboot sequence, and, while it sweeped your memories, atleast you're alive.

Are you able to take revenge on the Holy Nation and reinstall some new limbs?


You start with no limbs, damaged head, stomach and chest, a bounty with the local faction and -100 relations with them. Also you have nothing in your Inventory. Although i gave you 10 in thoughness because it made sense.

Should be compatible with just about everything since it only adds a few basics things (namely, a game start) and edits none

Please give feedback on how i could make it even harder or tell me your stories of surviving this scenario

NOTE: i haven't had the time to test out the three newly added starts yet, please report bugs in the comments

Ah, well i can probably do that then. I haven't really played Kenshi in a while though, its gonna be a while till i get to updating this

no one random limb left as in only one remaining, it would be either slightly easier to walk or fight either way they probably will save scum to have a leg but maybe have the limb start with -10 health so that its just that more annoying and with the slow decrease in health in that limb and frequent limb loss would be like giving yourself a timer to find or steal a med-kit before you die from blood loss, that and it could just always be a leg every time

Modding kenshi starts is actually pretty easy, although i don't think it'll be that hard. And Random limb being cut off might make some people inclined to save scum till they have two legs because its infinitely faster

former starving bandit that has one random limb left, -100 to the 2 nearest local factions, and one dried meat just to put salt on the wound like it was the only thing they managed to steal before being caught by the owner of said meat, not familiar with modding kenshi so i don't know if that is possible

A question to eveyrone here: Is there any game start you'd like to see implemented? I wanted to get back into Kenshi aswell as Kenshi modding again but don't really know what i could make

Thanks man, i'll see to updating the mod today or tomorrow because you seem to be enjoying it so much

Just place an object on the spot where you want the character to start using
CTRL-SHIFT-F12.. then add the X and Z coordinates of that object on the FCS. Found out just now after a bit of googling earlier discussions on steam.. ^^,

I'll see to making a few new starts with your suggestion in the near future, i'll still need to figure out how the world map coordinates in the editor work, because as far as i know there's no way to check them

If you want to make it harder:

A. Give the guy a shoddy economy leg. It will diminish your ability to do stealth and lessen your athletics. Set relations to UC by -100 to make them hunt you on sight. They will not bring you to jail, but beat you up instead. Recruiting other people wouldn't work, because they'll be beaten down as soon as they join you.

B. Change the starting race to Shek, and the starting location to Holy Nation
C. Change the starting race to Hiver, and the starting location to Swamps.
D. Any biological race + Cannibal Plains/Fog Islands/Darkfinger/Sinkuun/Swamp/Unwanted Zone/Vain/Venge

The first week of survival is the hardest.. avoiding being one-shot by hostiles as you try to recuperate, build stealth and make it to town in one piece. The bounty actually makes it easy because, as soon as you get arrested, they'll pick you up, put you in jail and patch you up. The slavers won't even bother enslaving you. As soon as you serve time, you're free to save up for those limbs.
