Exactly, how do I research this? I don’t see it under any of the research tabs

@Dvatrij Alright, thanks for the update
Dvatrij 27 Feb, 2024 @ 12:22pm 
Well if you do that, I'd be a little bit more happy, although I'm quite satisfied with this version.
Actually it allows me to get rid of lots of my farms and solves the problem with 5-bread-output x)

TBH i did a bunch of modding with 1 hand LOL. Other was broken and i played Kenshi with macros. It's been like 5 years and I've not touched the modding tools, so I might be a while on that.

Damn looks like I need to recreate the mod. It was made in like .7 or something and I never updated it. I can make a much simpler version this time, as this was like my first mod and was not made very well. Cheers!

It became even more weird!:)
I've researched the deep mining etc. and built it.
And now both powerplants are working okay and producing energy:
200 for 1st and 400 from 2nd as intended.
It still says that it needs a worker and working with 0% output although xD
Harmless bug I'd say.
But any character I orded to work with it just stands still and doing nothing.
(No more strength boosting lol)

So all 1-4) my problems fixed itself somehow. Okay... xD

All farms are working ok, yes.
Bread one is priceless, if only it would be Multi-grain bread from UWE but fine...

P.S. @Liquid Ass, Auto mining farms and Deep ones are in the same place of building menu: (Farming), but you should toggle it (as you're usually choosing the lvl of upgrade of any building, Walls I - II - III ...)
Same for Powerplants, but they're in POWER section. Auto and Deep selectable pairs for each type
Bookhead  [author] 24 Feb, 2024 @ 9:06pm 
@Dvatrij I believe there are 2 to unlock for every one, one is mostly automated and requires a worker, and the other is fully automated, to reflect how the devs made the other automated resources work. Good luck!

Hi there.
Idea of mod is pretty awesome, haven't found anything like this so there's lifesaver for my outpost in deadlands ... xD

Anyway.
I've built Auto Wheatstraw Power Plant and not sure that it works as intended.
1) So it is automatical but requires the operator to work (0% output show otherwise) ?
2) Why operator gets his strength boosted so fast? Not that I protesting but why... xD
3) It says that consuming fuel with 100% speed, but it produces nothing and consuming also nothing (only 120 wheatsraw during construction)
4) If it (should?) produce energy, I can't see any impact. Same numbers in Power in any stances: turned on/off, with operator working/without him

Or I'm doing smth wrong / misunderstand smth wrong?:)

@LIQUID I think this was one of my first mods and i put it somewhere odd. Sorry!!
Liquid Ass 9 Jan, 2024 @ 5:31pm 
Sorry, I'm dumb

I was able to research the Deep mining help farm, but I cant find it anywhere in the build menu.
Is there a certain bug? or somewhere else? cus I dont see it in farming or mining.

Robe the bank in Sheng to get CPUs. Easy way, but need good thieves skills
Shaggymeister 22 Aug, 2023 @ 8:04pm 
Thank you! I realised i had to take a different approach, and used the Biofuel distillery as the core. I will still eventually try, im especially not good with graphical stuff lol
Bookhead  [author] 22 Aug, 2023 @ 7:09pm 
@Shaggymeister: I learned through a guide a few years ago. I have not touched the FCS (forgotten construction set, the modding tools for Kenshi) in a long time.

https://kenshi.fandom.com/wiki/Introduction_to_Modding

There's a lot to learn at once, so don't get overwhelmed. There is a way to copy someone's mod on the workshop but I forgot how, if you wanted to duplicate what I've got already.
Shaggymeister 22 Aug, 2023 @ 2:56pm 
Question for the Author. How hard was it to make each machine? Ive been exploring the idea of having a all in one Farm that produces each crop type. but ive never made a mod in my life lol
Shaggymeister 15 Aug, 2023 @ 8:44pm 
Awesome! ill send my characters out into the world and see if i cant find them! time to see what my Shek death squad can do! and thank you for a quick response!
Bookhead  [author] 15 Aug, 2023 @ 8:16pm 
@Shaggy There are a couple places you can get the CPU units. The skeleton city has them for sale at the giant warehouse, but you have to do an import to refresh the inventory (this also resets AI cores, so if you have the cats, take advantage of that too). There are also lots where AI cores are in ruins. And a lot are in the southeastern part of the map. But Beware! It's a dangerous area!
Shaggymeister 15 Aug, 2023 @ 8:09pm 
Hello, ive just got to the point where i can research and build the automated stuff. but i am unfamiliar with CPU units. How/Where do i find those? thank you!
pacheriley 13 Apr, 2023 @ 11:22pm 
idk where are the farms or how works
Falsified 27 Sep, 2020 @ 6:08am 
I'm not finding this in my build menu, is it a blueprint?

Bookhead  [author] 12 Aug, 2020 @ 5:56pm 
Level 6 if I remember.
MaximumChrono 12 Aug, 2020 @ 4:50pm 
sorry i mean resarch bench level
MaximumChrono 12 Aug, 2020 @ 4:47pm 
what tech level is it? to unlock the automated framing
Nougetninja 5 Oct, 2019 @ 4:39pm 
@Di Dae Mao Go to the Black Desert City and buy cores, they're 25k each so...you'll need deep pockets and some protective gear.
Mr.X 15 Jun, 2019 @ 2:54pm 
hi, i dont see in my construction menu but it show in debug editor
Bookhead  [author] 21 Oct, 2018 @ 12:28am 
nope they're using the model of the big drills because it does all 3 things in 1 so much space is needed.
WCKID 20 Oct, 2018 @ 11:42pm 
the Automated farming stuff can fit in indoors right want to use a Ancient lab as a farm outpost
Hallowedsoul08 2 Sep, 2018 @ 3:48am 
Can you make a sandbox OP version?
Prester 12 Aug, 2018 @ 9:35am 
ok, i guess for my 60% water base its not that big a difference then. thank you. and i like ur mod :-)
Bookhead  [author] 11 Aug, 2018 @ 3:12pm 
It's supposed to be for desert areas where water is only very deep within the ground, or something. They do give a small boost to productivity but nothing too overpowered, so if you have to choose spend them on something else.
Prester 11 Aug, 2018 @ 8:07am 
in what way is the deep mining farm better than the automated? its a lot more expensive an currently i dont see all that many benefits
Di Dae Mao 5 Aug, 2018 @ 8:05pm 
yes thank you for your sugestion. see ya
Bookhead  [author] 5 Aug, 2018 @ 2:02pm 
It's supposed to be really fucking hard and annoying. There is always the unsub button :)
Di Dae Mao 5 Aug, 2018 @ 8:29am 
oh and also need another 2 to build it and you need a fuckin lot for all of em. cant build it too much hassle been trying to find CPU core in city nope nada gotta find em in ruin which 1 ruin would probably net you 4 or 6 IF you are lucky and the ruin is ancient, then you need a fricking 48+ just for the farm tech add another 2 or 4 i forgot for the actual building! wth dude are you a sadist or something?. my sugestion is to change cpu unit to something that is easier to find maybe skeleton limb (you can find one by killing security spider) or mechanical unit which available in many town your pick. ) or hell remove it all together. cant leave a positive comment if it took me 3 days with a couple of import to even research the tech not building it, ATM the tech is not worth the effort not helpful but frustrating
Di Dae Mao 5 Aug, 2018 @ 4:06am 
CPU unit requirement for research is annoying, i'd rather import/export my game a hundred time to get AI core than cpu unit it spawn randomly no fixed possition at all and you need at least 48 for all that tech. you might be able to tell me where to find that elusive unit?
