Vlad the Inhaler 22 Jul, 2024 @ 3:28pm 
Mod is done from what i can tell

still works till now. not sure if it has conflicts though, but using a quite a bit of mods right now and no crash. hopefully no conflicts
Madd Llama  [author] 24 Oct, 2023 @ 6:29pm 
Yes. I played it a few months ago and it works just fine. Likely if anyone has trouble with it, it is because of conflicts with another mod.

Can this work now
Servius 14 Sep, 2022 @ 6:44pm 
You could seek out someone that could take over development. Giving contributor should allow them to update the mod without being able to take it down/make it malicious. Its the only way I have been able to step away from GMod.
Madd Llama  [author] 18 Jan, 2022 @ 10:42am 
Since you said please I will be polite. I do not play this anymore, so it is tagged as "out of date" for a reason.
电鳐 17 Jan, 2022 @ 9:18pm 
update please

When I played save imports were pretty standard for any mod loaded during an existing save.
Xayc 22 Dec, 2021 @ 6:30am 
Correction: Mod works, but save import is needed. If there is no desire to do this, it is better to look towards another mod called: "Military Recruitment"
Xayc 21 Dec, 2021 @ 12:24pm 
Mod doesn't work at all. Don't waste your time
Madd Llama  [author] 7 Aug, 2021 @ 1:02pm 
@gamenode When I made this it was just basic Skeleton NPC's... no robots.
gamenode 7 Aug, 2021 @ 11:54am 
Which skeletons are available? Sniperbots?
Hans Gribber 19 Jun, 2021 @ 8:06am 
It still works.
Madd Llama  [author] 23 Mar, 2021 @ 9:54am 
@Pete sorry it has been way too long since I have used their editing software.If I remember correctly it is more a matter of importing the mod into their editing software and just cutting and pasting his portion into your own game files. Can't remember if he has any other portion of the mods that tie into him, but should just be that simple.

@Author could u tell me how to edit urs mod to retain Aegis but remove everything else??
Aegis got my weak spot
The_Cheese_Stands_Alone 11 Oct, 2020 @ 4:54pm 
No worries! I'll try loading it in last place and hope that it helps. I appreciate all the work you've done!
Madd Llama  [author] 10 Oct, 2020 @ 11:43am 
@Fuzzy no clue where the conflict is in Genesis but you should always load out of date mods last or not at all. Sorry I can't be of more help.
The_Cheese_Stands_Alone 10 Oct, 2020 @ 3:45am 
I've been getting random crashes where the screen goes to all of one color. When I try and CTRL ALT DEL I just get a black screen and have to reboot the computer. I've had 6 instances of this since running the mod (also running Genesis and 42 interesting recruits mods), but it only seems to occur when this mod is activated. Any suggestions? Where it should be in the Mod loading order (currently second after Genesis). I really want to run a skeleton army :)
Madd Llama  [author] 29 Jun, 2020 @ 1:59pm 
AFAIK it still functions, just a bit overpowered.
BlueNukaGaming 29 Jun, 2020 @ 10:34am 
can you update this i love this
Madd Llama  [author] 14 Jun, 2020 @ 3:59pm 
@hardbrocklife, I have zero issues with you carrying on this mod. Feel free to run with it. Modding in Kenshi is pretty easy... I taught myself how to do it by looking at the files of characters in the main directory and comparing them to what I was trying to change. Been a while lol, so hard to remember.

Yes, I wish more people thought like that, but like you say it is easier to complain than it is to fix something. Just have to keep in mind that the folks who complain are the vocal minority... out of 22K subscribers I have fielded maybe 10-20 complaints here in the comments. Basically just as easy as unsubbing from the mod if you feel it is game breaking or not immersive.

Feel free to hit me up here on Steam if you have any questions or need any help. Not sure how much I can provide since it has been a while, but seeing how much I love the Skeletons I would also like to see this carry on.
hardbrocklife 14 Jun, 2020 @ 10:35am 
Just wanted to say thanks for the Mod, regardless of whether or not you are continuing to maintain it. I love the skeleton "race" as well.

Random question: I know working with Kenshi mods is not the same as coding, but I figured out how to use Twilios API to build a bulk messaging app with NodeJS along with a webhook that prints responses to the console then automatically appends them to a JSON file in a few days with no coding experience(I work with telemetry hardware). Would it be terribly hard to learn to edit a mod like this, and would you mine if I tinkered with it?

There are some things that I would like to change, and instead of complaining to the Mod author over a mod for a game he doesnt even play anymore Id rather solve my own problem and be a part of the resolution(a seemingly rare trait whose lack of adoption confuses me..).
Madd Llama  [author] 5 May, 2020 @ 11:50am 
Just remove the mod and reload your game... voila, fixed.
Lippuringo 4 Mar, 2020 @ 5:58am 
Feels unbalanced. I'm very new to the game, just arrived in Flotsam and there was 4 free skelly with same dialogue. Don't feel like it anyway fair. Of course when you're in late game it could be nice for shits and goggles, but for fresh start it's just cheating.
Allie Rin 29 Feb, 2020 @ 9:03pm 
@Madd Llama Not Flotsam hideout is the flotsam ninja spot just north of the Rebirth slave pits, it's the town where you cna join the flotsam ninjas who are opposed to the Holy nation
Madd Llama  [author] 29 Feb, 2020 @ 8:04pm 
Can't remember if that is a tech hunter waystation or not, but if so then yes.
Allie Rin 28 Feb, 2020 @ 7:58pm 
I just got three of these skeletons in the flotsam hideout, is that from this mod or was it a lucky break?
Mr.HighGround 19 Feb, 2020 @ 1:36am 
A free skeleton squad is too powerful for me!!
ronaldpoai 14 Jan, 2020 @ 5:43am 
All works fine after I reloaded the game, thanks for your help!
Madd Llama  [author] 12 Jan, 2020 @ 12:06pm 
Nobody has complained of it NOT working, just working too well. If you just downloaded it and are using a game already in progress, you will have to reload your save to get the mercs to populate.

I might eventually download and play this game again, and then see where the mod is at after I do that.
Commissar 31 Dec, 2019 @ 5:15pm 
Cool!
Madd Llama  [author] 24 Nov, 2019 @ 4:04pm 
Should only be four max, but sounds like an update might have busted the randomization. If I start playing Kenshi again I will fix it, but until then you just need to uninstall and reload your game state.
IAmCalledJay 24 Nov, 2019 @ 9:28am 
So I walked into World's End, and 6 skeleton's were free. That's a bit too broken for me.
saxon22 15 Nov, 2019 @ 1:05pm 
true
Madd Llama  [author] 15 Nov, 2019 @ 9:27am 
There are, but it takes some work to get a prison set up nearby so you can capture the ones you don't kill... then most end up maimed so you need to get replacement limbs for them. It can be fun, I have done it, but it is also the reason I made this mod lol.
TheBusDriver 14 Nov, 2019 @ 9:18pm 
Huh? You ever been to Venge? there are swarms of skeletons running around
saxon22 7 Nov, 2019 @ 12:27pm 
well your right i just made one lol
Madd Llama  [author] 7 Nov, 2019 @ 11:41am 
@Saxon22... someone who gets it lol :cozykcdknight:
saxon22 29 Oct, 2019 @ 6:31pm 
thanks now i can start a skeleton empire:steamhappy:
Madd Llama  [author] 9 Aug, 2019 @ 11:26am 
Unfortunately I no longer update this mod, but anyone is free to modify it to fit their own play style and mods list.
Pontiff 9 Aug, 2019 @ 10:17am 
any chance you can make this compatible with TIHYD_Out on a limb? :)
Nemesis Tigrex 8 Aug, 2019 @ 8:58am 
Yeah, same as me i found 2 skeletons hire for free in Squin Town.
It should be can pay money for hire like every hire NPC would be.
Conboy75 3 Aug, 2019 @ 9:29am 
i like this mod but it seems kinda OP because every skeleton (that i found so far) are for free.
Madd Llama  [author] 2 Aug, 2019 @ 12:40pm 
Yup Tower of Ninjas in the Border Zone.
Dark3Nesz 2 Aug, 2019 @ 11:01am 
tower of ninja's right? if so Aegis did not load in
MUTE 2 Aug, 2019 @ 12:08am 
think U
Madd Llama  [author] 1 Aug, 2019 @ 2:47pm 
@Mute he is supposed to be in a jail cell in the Black Genin Tower, but it sounds like folks have been having trouble getting him to load. Give it a shot and see if you can find him in there, but a patch may have altered the tower. I have not played this game or updated this mod in a long time.
MUTE 1 Aug, 2019 @ 6:59am 
Where can I find a Aegis?
Dark3Nesz 25 Jul, 2019 @ 1:51pm 
aegis does not load for me rest of the mod works fine even try'd to load it 1st and import agian still not loading in
