Doll Race (Original)

NOTICE: Given I've been completely inactive for years this may be obvious, but I am completely done with Kenshi modding. All of my mods are up for grabs to improve, re-upload, or use the assets of if you feel so inclined. I am not an artist or an animator and lack the talent or interest to continue to work on Kenshi projects. My apologies.

ANNOUNCEMENT: So I've made a more streamlined and less intrusive version that should be less buggy and more lore-friendly. I recommend using that one, but this one will remain as a legacy version from when I didn't know anything about the setting or how to mod.

This is a mod I made that adds a new, humanoid machine race to the game, along with a lore-appropriate start. Right now, the race just looks like grey-colored humans, but later on I intend to give them more unique features, if I can. For now, please enjoy the beta version. I'll update it as I manage to add more features to the mod.

If you like this mod, you might enjoy the other race mods I am working on. Reporting any bugs and general feedback is appreciated: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1161970256

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The current features are:

NEW:
-Standard Model name changed to Baseline model because that means it'll be the first race you see when you switch over to their tab in character creation.
-Fixed an issue where NPC Dolls didn't have any levels in crossbow
-New faction unveiled, the Jussit Organization! They're very mysterious! So mysterious they don't even have a faction capital yet! But that will come later. Right now you can see wandering spawns and small villages.
-New faction unveiled, the Ironblood Enclave! A faction comprised entirely of abnormally large and powerful Dolls, these strange figures seem dedicated to eradicating their smaller cousins!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-A unique body model that is still in progress but currently doing pretty well and I would consider it playable. If anyone who knows anything about modeling and texturing would like to assist me, please let me know.
-Two Doll subtypes, Standard and Variant. Standard models have unique bodies, while Variants are made to look like either male or female humans. There are also two other super special subtypes with unique lore behind them.
-Doll citizens can be seen in the United Cities. They are rarer than Hive citizens, but more common than Skeletons. In addition, special Doll Servants can be found in the United Cities. You can tell who they are by the colorful jackets they wear. You can ask them to join you, or talk to them to learn some lore about Dolls in general.
-5 new starts
-many new locations
-1 new weapon
-6 new factions
-3 new armor pieces


My hopes for new content are:

-Integrating Dolls throughout the game world (camps and appearances in cities and such.)
-Making the Doll model itself more unique and machine-like. (This is probably going to be really hard and if any texture artist wishes to help I will be happy to accept.)
-Custom dialogue and events.
-Unique NPC recruits.

Lore can now be found in a discussion thread because I actually hit the word count for my steam description and I needed trim it down. Alternately, you can learn the lore by talking to Dolls in-game. I recommend doing it that way for maximum immersion but do as you like.

Thank you for checking out my mod. I welcome any critique or suggestions, as they can help me improve my work.
