Buenaas, me encanta el concepto. Lo probé y me gustó. El único problema que encontré fue que el equipo de calidad Obra Maestra (que solo aparece en ciertas tiendas y, que yo sepa, es finito; quizá me equivoque) también lo recogen los PNJ y se pierden quién sabe dónde.

Heeey, love the concept, I've tryed it and like it. Only problem I find was that the Masterwork quality gear (that only appears in certain shops and are finite as far as I know; maybe I'm wrong) get picked up by NPCs too and get lost who knows where.

@Gehirn, I hope you get to complete that mentioned trading project. It sounds like a wonderful effort.

@LuigitheMan20 You typically only need to import once. You should import after installing some mods (not all require an import), and as save maintenance to prevent and fix some corruption.

hazzacr2412 : je crois qu'il faut que tu relance une nouvelle partie pour que le mod fonctionne :(

I've been using this mod to build a trade empire - especially recently - but after seeing people I hired previously come back to the same spots, I gotta ask: do I gotta import the save every time I boot the save back up or is it a one and done thing?

I want to add this mod, but I wonder if it is compatible with NPCs enjoy more shopping or not, because that one with the Great Rich Men events is doing just fine for me, but an additional mod could come in handy.

@Jango I don't believe so. The OCS creator said that it "allows you to automate mod creation and query data" and "you're still limited by what the data files can do". I believe the OCS is more a tool to make other tools for modding.

Without the ability to recompile Kenshi itself I don't believe actual functions can be created or edited.
Jango 16 Apr @ 9:48am 
does the kenshi construction set can help in that purpose and give more edit possibilities?

I'm aiming to make a reworked shopping economy mod, from scratch. It should be usable but won't be perfect because the wages and shopping system was never fully developed in Kenshi otherwise this mod would already work just fine.
Gehirn 16 Apr @ 9:06am 
@ourbravestboy No problem. The issue with selling weapons/armour is also that even if npcs are set to buy them, they take up a lot of inventory space and once an NPCs inventory is full they will be unable to buy anything.

The only NPCs who should really be buying weapons are travelling merchants or wanderers as they spawn in with free inventory space and the NPC despawns when they or you leave the area.

But not every town that you can buy property in has random travelling merchant spawns in their region, and most of those that do have very low spawn rates for merchants.

@Gehirn I'm not sure if replies work on here but thanks for the updates on it. Currently doing a blacksmithing shop run and was wondering why nobody was buying literally anything
Gehirn 8 Apr @ 10:56am 
Reloading the game, or leaving a town till it unloads from memory and then going back does not reset or trigger NPCs' wages. Once they spend their initial wage it's gone.

As best I can tell, the min/max money stats don't do anything either. I've also learned that the AI Goals "weight" stat actually appears to be more like a "priority" stat. That is: the lower the value, the more likely they'll take the action. So with the Shopping action set to 50, they're less likely to try shopping unless they have nothing else to do. It's why bar squads with the "hang out in a bar" package rarely leave the bar to buy things or walk around town.
Gehirn 8 Apr @ 10:56am 
Ok I've done a lot of testing, and unfortunately it seems that the "wages" value only determines how much money an NPC starts with. It no longer gives daily wages, if it ever did.
This is why people in town are eventually unable to buy things from anyone including you.

If you build your own town, you'll get caravans that come through to buy things from you. When they spawn they get their initial wages so they have money to spend. This is why it seems like NPCs sometimes have money, sometimes don't, and that the shop in your own town sells things while the shop in an NPC town doesn't.
Gehirn 8 Apr @ 12:09am 
There's an error in this mod. One of the dummy items used to create AI shopping lists, "_dummyitem_robokits" is set to use the ITEM_MEDRIGGING item function instead of ITEM_ROBOTREPAIR. This means any AI set to buy skeleton repair kits of either variety is set to buy splints instead.
It's an easy fix if you just correct that value.

NO ONE HAS BOUGHT ANYTHING IN THE 99999999 HOURS I HAVE PLAYED
WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Jackal 12 Feb @ 10:50pm 
does this still work? i still have people saying they cant afford anything, even when im only selling trade goods.
Anrhaa 15 Jan @ 4:13pm 
The mod is great. However it reverts all character names back to vanilla, breaking every mod that renames characters.

You my consider putting it First at your load order to avoid breaking names.
Dr. Hook 9 Jan @ 11:50am 
@A_Trashcan One of problems with these mods is that the buyers don't seem to consume many of the items, so after they buy a few things, they don't have inventory space to buy more. I don't know if that is fixable or not. The Food For Everyone mod would help that for food items I suspect. The only way to solve it, I believe is to import frequently.
Tonic Kibbles 5 Dec, 2024 @ 1:06pm 
Had issues with hive caravans and traders guild caravans getting looped in New Kralia and running back and forth between the watch tower and the outpost (storm house). They would never leave. Please investigate.
A_Trashcan 30 Nov, 2024 @ 9:11am 
Anyone know why this mod seems to lose steam?

Worked perfectly when I imported the game, but after a while it seemed like everyone's money ran out and no one was buying. I literally let the game run for like 3 hours with no buys.

I saved and imported again, suddenly it was going gang busters again.

Any thoughts?

"Potential fix for issues with town NPCs breaking down the doors of NPC shops to go shopping"

I saw this happen in shark by mercenaries and swampers, could be one of the causes of constant warfare. How did you fix it?
dom8967 25 Oct, 2024 @ 12:05am 
Does this mod make factions fight each other a lot? i Keep seeing a lot of problems in Stoat.
ジャッキー・ザ・トキ 21 Sep, 2024 @ 1:19am 
Does this mod makes hashish no longer good? because i went to flats lagoon and they offer 77% price mark up for it..... even tho it should be 400%
Freak 17 Sep, 2024 @ 12:38am 
ive used this mod for about 700 hours and played without it i can no longer play with out this mod i love it keep up the good work the only down side is sometimes i see a character buy like the starving bandits weapon and will have three of them equipped and some times leave them with no room to buy stuff other than that i give this mod a 9/10 im usually to lazy to give feed back but this mod is worth it.
NinjaBeest 14 Aug, 2024 @ 12:33pm 
Thank you for the updates

Once again, guys, you need to import your game after mod installation or start a new one.

I have different problem: after some time whole city is out of money. Does NPC restock their money or once I've cleared them out I can close my shop because Ill never be able to sell anything there again?
ramilain2105 14 Aug, 2024 @ 3:43am 
The mod doesnt work, i am using it and one friend mine... We didnt see any results, if someone can help me nice, but I put like 5 shops in lots of cities, none of them give me any money and i have a big variety of products to sell
austinhunter406 10 Aug, 2024 @ 2:19pm 
Maby add a pawn option so personal stores can buy items off travelers at largly reduced prices and sell. People could run by there shops and see if they "fished" anything interesting. The bought items could then be sold at full price kinda implicatating pawn style shop.
M. 9 Aug, 2024 @ 12:56pm 
Mod is definitely working. Maybe even too well, cause it feels like everyone in my town ready to buy whatever I put there for any price. Caravaneers and nobles basically can buy everything in shop if you're lucky.
NinjaBeest 6 Aug, 2024 @ 2:38pm 
Is this mod working or not? Someone please tell!
NinjaBeest 28 Jul, 2024 @ 3:18pm 
400,000 subscribers to this mod does not tell me that this mod doesn't work like some in the comment section are saying. Is the mod working or not?
_Onixflame_ 15 Jul, 2024 @ 3:38pm 
https://ibb.co/YBmPKtk Screenshot how it is goin

When a squad comes to me from "Shoping tempest", they simply shout "it's time to party",and immediately they run back to the wasteland from where they came. The base is public, the gates are open. What is the problem?

Mod work but Ells no longer bounty.
Mr. Unidentified 25 Jun, 2024 @ 10:41pm 
This mod has been known to have some issues with other mods that have similar functions so its considered Dysfunctional

I'm at Squin and there's barely anyone even coming into my shop. Is this mod obsolete or am I just being impatient? Im selling food and weapons.
GOOSE3413 29 Apr, 2024 @ 5:45pm 
Is this compatible with Living World?
dom8967 28 Apr, 2024 @ 10:18pm

This mod didn't really work for me but this one here did: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1942135094

Made my Kenshi merchant dreams a reality. Now the Shek people's favorite food is Gohan:greenfruit:
MGJ Sakazaki 5 Feb, 2024 @ 5:43am 
One way to solve this @kissykaede is to import. It will happen to other mods as well.
Azuraii 30 Dec, 2023 @ 6:41am 
Does this decrease the sell value of raw copper? Went from 90~113 to 58~84 I don't know if its this mod or the overhaul mod I'm using. But this is the only one I know of that would directly effect the economy. Anyway I can edit prices?
