Equinox Overhaul

PLEASE BE SURE TO READ THE IMPORTANT INFORMATION IF NOTHING ELSE

What is Equinox?

Equinox aims to be a “Non Intrusive” Overhaul. Equinox aims to be noticeable, but as lightweight as possible.




- Overhaul of Worldstates - Worldstates are much more reactive and dynamic. They follow a more "realistic" path and are much more noticeable. Killing faction leaders will create significant power vacuums and cause chaos in their faction.

- Overhaul of existing unique recruits - Several unique recruits have had their own respective overhauls to make them more "human" - their stories actually matter and influence the world.

- Crafting Overhaul - In addition to an entirely new Primitive Crafting Overhaul which features a full crafting tree with progression for "primitive/nomadic" style runs there's also overhauls to crafting. Prosthetics now require scrapped parts from Skeletons or other robots to create. Unique Skeletons also have special parts that can be harvested for much more powerful prosthetics. Tech Hunter artifacts are no longer just for sale items, they can also be used in some crafting.

- Lots of rebalances - weather is tougher, you'll need to plan your journey carefully to survive. Weather in vanilla Kenshi is more of an annoyance than an actual danger. Not anymore - now Venge Lasers, Lightning, Acid Rain, and Toxic Gas are all a real threat. Nights are darker! - You'll want a lantern to see in the dark.

- Combat Rebalances - Katanas are buffed to make them more viable, AOE is rebalanced, and general tweaks to combat make leveling more rewarding.

- QoL Changes - lots of various QoL changes to reduce grinding slightly, but keep the difficulty of Kenshi in place. The new recreational site - Bathhouses allow for faster healing and conversing with NPCs about rumors of the world. Various other features ease the obtuse nature of the base game.

- More populated Tech Hunter Loot Pools - many loot pools have new items in them, and have a very small chance of yielding great treasures.

- Lots of new food - tons of new food items, all animals now have their own unique meat, which can be cooked and further refined into high-quality food items.

- Dynamic Armor Commentary - using a dummy item NPCs can comment on your armor (or lack thereof). NPCs will comment on your armor based on which item you carry. Each type has its own respective commentary trigger. Bandit Armor, Homeless Armor, Heavy Armor, Naked/No Armor. Some of these can be utilized to evade the ire of certain factions or some bandits may think twice about attacking a strong, heavily armored foe. For the most part this is just fluff, but there is some utility.

- Post Cat-Lon Bounties - The game isn't over at Cat-Lon - There are now 3 Post Cat-Lon level threats in the world to defeat.

- Integration of popular mods - 15 popular mods from the community are included in Equinox, you can clean up your modlist while still keeping essentials included.

- 256 Recruit Limit Included






PLEASE READ - To use Campfires open the craft menu, select the appropriate meat, insert it, and cook. Campfires now make a unique meat for each animal species, if you don't select the right meat it won't work!

Equinox is incompatible with all other major world overhauls (Genesis, UWE, Living World, Odyssey, etc.)
Equinox is incompatible with all of the “Faction Expanded” series
If you use “Yet Another Kenshi Nude Mod” it must be loaded AFTER Equinox (As Equinox uses the tattoo mods)
Equinox is incompatible with Player Slavery
Equinox is incompatible with any Prisoner Recruitment mods (tameable beasts is ok)
Equinox is incompatible with Profitable Slavery
ALL MODS that Equinox uses are incompatible - They are already loaded and integrated so loading them again WILL cause crashes
ALL COMBAT ANIMATION MODS - Due to rebalances included in Equinox already, this doesn’t cause crashes but it messes with the rebalance. (Equinox also already includes combat animations)
XP Rebalances (Any) - Equinox does this already
