It would be cool if nations could launch massive invasions or massive wars against you, as in send all their forces.

Well, yes he is. He's not intended to be for immersion, he's a debug tool because Kenshi is a game that easily breaks, and putting him at Waystations sticks him in a location that is relatively easy to access no matter which corner of the world you are in.

There isn't really a good place to stick a debug NPC that is easy to access and not immersion breaking.

The World State Checker at Waystation is a bit immersion-breaking, ain't he? Would probably be the first Skeleton new players see and he's just sitting there without comment.

Great , THX for modding

Because of the way the game names world states, it can be a bit confusing with double negatives. Those two world states, for Bo and Seto, they are "X is not alive" checks. Which means if true they are dead, and if false they are alive. If they are in your party they should be perfectly fine.

As for Anti-Slavers, I think they're fine as they are. They have a low population, and given their focus on liberation it makes more sense to have them support the peasants and rebels, rather than conquer the towns. Which is what they do, you'll notice several UC towns after the rebels take over have Anti-Slaver HQs.

Also, it would be cool if Anti-slavers had a reaction like HN and Shek kingdom, but with United Cities. I mean, you can help them conquest cities

Hi! I was playing and I instaled the mod after beating Thrall Masters and Dust King . I guess I will need to arrest them again but I guess the unique NPC's I have in my team, hasn't respawn again right? Also, I asked the checker if Seto or Bo were alive and he just said Disactivated so they are dead?

Long as it shows up in your mod list in the options menu, it's running. But if you want another check, head to a Waystation. You'll find a World State Checker skeleton at the bar.

Hi, Ive been playing the same game for a few months now and i decide to try the mod but im not sure it is actually working im my game. how can make sure it is working?

That's up to you. Reactive World focuses on world state effects. While Genesis is far larger in its scope, touching virtually everything. Reactive World is mostly compatible with other mods, only having major issues with other world state mods. While Genesis should generally be used with almost no other mods.

Is it better to play with Reactive World or Genesis?

Peak mod

@TeamSesh666 - You don't. Even in vanilla they are intended to raid you forever after defeating their kingdom, I didn't change this. By defeating their leaders, you've set yourself up as the ultimate challenge in their culture, so their raids will not end. Same reason why they go after the Bugmaster all the time.

@Puggly the Grey - Maybe? Depends on how they made their mod. Not gonna crash or anything, would just not spawn certain things if they're not. Or have weird overrides at times.

@The Bloody Lady - There is not. The description covers the basics, anyone can open the mod in the FCS to get the exact details in the changes list.

So i destroyed the shek kingdom, but the hub is still active and sending raids. Any Idea how to get them to stop? besides killing every resident there? I already got rid of the Npc that spawns there from this mod

This is the bitter fruit i have reaped myself

Is Ashen Hive compatible wif dis mod?

Can't believe this mod is still getting updated. Good fucking job

Is there a list of all the worldstate changes this mod makes in a document somewhere?

Nevermind, figured out how the FCS works (What an interesting system! The residents seem to just populate buildings) so it is intended. In fairness I forgot just how small and crappy bad teeth is by default anyway, lol.

Is it normal for bad teeth to be completely destroyed when taken over by the Shek Kingdom or do I have a conflict somewhere? It has two barracks, a bar, an armour shop and a HQ and that is it. Everything else is ruined. Stack is nowhere near as destroyed so it surprised me that bad teeth is so badly damaged. I tried reading the FCS but I didn't understand the way town overrides work.

Update is out now. Overhauled the dialog for Shek rebuilding the Hub, thanks to Allusernamesaretaken1234 offering to write up some. Also made slight changes to the Hub and its residents to clean up the town a bit in Shek overrides.

Thanks

Very well, with those conditions I will agree for now. Though I expect you will have issues getting permission from some of those other authors. Some haven't been around for years, and unless they give permission in the description there isn't a lot you can do to get in contact with them. Eventually you will likely be forced to either not use the mods, or make it as a patch instead.

That said, you'll probably want to wait to grab my mod until later today, as I'm planning on pushing a patch out today overhauling some dialog from my mod.

I'm going to ask you one last time. My goal is to unify major mods like Reactive World, Living World, Kaizo, and many other mods that change faction interactions. Yes, this is ambitious, however I am willing to try to make it happen. It should be said that not all changes from Reactive World will be carried over. So also not all Reactive World updates will have a positive impact on compatibility (maybe in an update you add a override that will already exist). And by making a dependency on your mod, I'm not making my mod a mod, just a patch. A patch that simply adds new changes from other mods. And players will view it that way. If you're wary of repeating your negative experience, I could make changes if you say so. I wouldn't want to make my mod into something negative. So how about giving it a try? I'll make my mod and you see the result. If you're not happy, I'll change my mod according to your opinion, possibly removing it (if necessary).

Depends on the mod. Fixes anyone is free to do with as they please. If I'm just fixing the broken game I don't claim any ownership of the changes.

Faction Caravans is fine, though I don't really suggest it, the system doesn't work well in vanilla which is why I've largely abandoned that mod.

Small convenience mods I also don't really mind being included, they often required like 10 minutes of changes that anyone could do.

If in doubt, it doesn't hurt to ask.

So sorry, but no. I've had bad experiences in the past giving integration permission away to people, so without a very good reason I'm not gonna give permission for such a thing. Not when there are simple and easy alternatives that don't require it.

The load order concerns are a very minor issues imo, the load order rarely actually matters significantly with Kenshi, and in the few cases it does it is mostly handled by the launcher itself telling the player there is an issue. And a patch mod would resolve the majority of remaining issues.

And while full integration may help your development in the short term (which is debatable, since it also makes it harder to separate your changes from the mods you integrated), it also increases your workload long term. Any time one of the mods updates, you'd have to figure out what exactly changed and merge it in carefully, or be left behind on old versions. The workshop is littered with old versions of mods that failed to stay up to date due to integrations like that, especially localization mods.

however, this will be less convenient for the players. They will have to adjust the order of mods and, most likely, some will have problems with this. In addition, the main goal of my mod is to combine numerous mods to improve faction interactions into a single convenient and stable mod. I do not agree that a separate installation of RW will contribute to compatibility. Well, besides all this, it would just be inconvenient for development (if I wanted to see a list of changes in FPS, I would have to include your mod separately). So I'm really asking for permission for full integration, not installation as a separate mod.

I'd prefer that if you want to use it, you should make your mod a dependency instead. It would also make your mod more compatible that way.

Hello, the author. I'm working on my own mod that globally improves interactions with factions and would like to use your mod to integrate it into my mod. Can I do this? I will give you credit

"As for Deadcat reclaiming the area, that was something I was working on. Never got finished though, so it is not in the current live version."

This is sad. :( But respect. Because we living the real world, lol.

Thanks for this mod Shidan!

No need to respawn the Dust King, or any other unique NPCs. As long as you import (which should be done when adding or removing any mod) it should load up the correct world states just fine, assuming no mod conflicts.

I think it's been asked before, but to start the civil war, should I import my game to resurrect the King Dust and kill him again?

Hives Expanded yes, as far as I know. I expect more issues from the Diplomacy addon. But nothing like crashes or anything. Just might be lacking the diplomacy dialog and squads in certain locations.

Is this compatiable with Hives Expanded and Diplomacy for Hives Expanded ?

The details of how it works are covered here:
https://kenshi.fandom.com/wiki/Main_Menu#Import

Shidan how exacly work import ? What that option do ? Genesis is ahuge mod and im afraid so I loose many stuff builded around.

No, he is not from this mod.

does this mod have fog king??? i

Cool, thanks for the clarification, Shidan.

Cannibals cannot be completely wiped out, as imo it doesn't make sense to completely destroy such a numerous faction. Much like how the UC and HN still leave stragglers, there will still be some small weaker groups running around and living in camps.

As for Deadcat reclaiming the area, that was something I was working on. Never got finished though, so it is not in the current live version.

Hi Shidan. Just wondering if it's possible to completely wipe out the cannibals, and/or for Deadcat to reclaim locations in that part of the map within the town overrides? If not, will the cannibal places become ruins with just roaming squads?

Ok, thank you.

No. As Esata states in her vanilla dialog, she has no interest in it. So imo it would not be very lore friendly for her to take it.

Are there conditions for the Shek to take Blister Hill?

yeah i think i overwrote with cities and towns rework and it seemed very scuffed.

Probably pretty bad. The original towns would probably work fine. Any overrides would probably have wildly wrong populations, expect pretty barren towns.

hows the compatibility with Cities and Towns rework?
