Kenshi
Bandits Steal Your Money

I had about 40k cats stolen from my solo character (first time playing Kenshi btw) by a dust bandit camp, and less than a week later I finished killing the last of camp's residents.
I never found any of my cats on any of the bandits I slew.

Basically singling out solo characters as the only ones to have nearly all their caps stolen every beatdown is an unfair mechanic, and especially so when bandit group inventories reset very fast so by the time you've healed your stomach/chest from -2 or w/e they left them at, all your cats are just gone forever.

Hard as it is, Kenshi is a pretty forgiving game. But your mod singles out solo character sessions to be subject to very unforgiving balance.

I noticed a bunch of money dissapeared after a few beatdowns, then looked into the modlist I jumped into and found this.
Now I know I can get them back lmao.

Anyone that wants to include it in a modpack/overhaul go right ahead.

Hi! Can I take your mods for my overhaul mod SLOFK? I will indicate you in the credits, or if desired, I can add you to the authors.

Nice.

This mod is pretty hilarious. I got looted by some vagrant and they took 2,000 cats from me. I literally had to track them down out of pure spite because I was so angry. Amazing mod
KingMichaelBee 5 Feb, 2024 @ 12:41pm 
any one know of a mod where enemies steal items on knock down?
Drougael 2 Feb, 2024 @ 6:38am

I got spanked two/three times by the dust bandits but they didn't take 1 cat from me. I conclude that this is not systematic or is there an interference somewhere?
Lawh 19 Jan, 2024 @ 9:43am 
That looks like it does the same although people carry more cats. I think it might be faster to change the amount of cats some people carry than to add them from zero, so most of the work is done.

2018 is a bit risky, but I think if you manage to pop that into the editor and see what errors pop up if any, and check out some possibly missing characters, that might actually still function well!

If you have any suggestions and so on with the other mods, let me know. I use them constantly but I am currently testing a lot of mods at the same time whilst not really doing much playing so there might be some weirdness happening with some of them. Although those mods are pretty straight forward. Hope you like em! And I do have to add, that this mod we are chatting on is incredible.

@Lawh wow that was fast :O
You have some interesting mods. trying out Crops are Animal Feed and Shops Refresh Less now :)

@Thundercraft Cutpurse https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1407015378&searchtext=looting is the one I found, but it's pretty old, don't know if it still works well or how balanced it is.

Here. It would have taken forever if I didn't write a script that semi automated it :D
Lawh 19 Jan, 2024 @ 1:42am 
The thing is, that these cats usually aren't as items, but function the same way as the player back account. I might have a cats in pocket mod ready this afternoon if I can get through the grunt work.
Thundercraft 19 Jan, 2024 @ 12:48am 
Hmm... I may have spoken too soon.
I still don't find any others to add money / cats to groups, aside from adding cats to shopkeepers or caravans so they can afford to buy more stuff from players.
But, searching again, I now see several that change the weapons and/or armor of groups, often giving them more and better stuff than before. Some examples:
"Outlaws and Bandits Redone"
"Shek Bandits Reimagined"
"Cannibals Expanded"
"Minor Faction Overhaul - Skeleton Bandits"
Lawh 19 Jan, 2024 @ 12:32am 
I can make one right now. I think the biggest issue might be that it changes so much in the game files that it takes an annoying amount of editing and it might conflict with other mods. Let's see what I can do.
Thundercraft 19 Jan, 2024 @ 12:30am 
Quote, "Pairs well with mods that add money-items to fallen enemy inventories, consider this a counter-balance to it."

Can anyone name drop some mods that add money-items to bandits, cannibals or similar groups?
I've browsed the workshop many times over the years and bookmarked many mods. But about the only mod I'm familiar with like this is "Shinobi Thieves have more Cats".
NotCarbonBased 16 Jan, 2024 @ 1:32am 
On the same system, can you do this as " Ennemies loot bodies " ?
Sock'n'Bop 27 Oct, 2023 @ 2:19am 
Sorry to bother you, but I wanted to ask if this mod is at all tied to the setting that determines whether bandits can loot your items or not? I don't like losing my stuff, so I keep it off
Proxima-b 23 Oct, 2023 @ 11:17pm 
I have a level one base, however my squad of 3 person still got looted for money.
Lawh 22 Sep, 2023 @ 5:33pm 
It's usually best to import, though dialogue should work without it, at least that's what I've heard. You can keep all the dead NPC's and research and so on though.
LokiPhur 22 Sep, 2023 @ 2:42pm 
Do I need an import to make this work on an existing save? Solo character.
crux 10 Sep, 2023 @ 10:14pm 
It just works
Damaskox 2 Aug, 2023 @ 5:27pm 
I lost a member. I didn't find them so I continued my journey.

Later I started losing money. Probably through that corpse.

1. Does this corpse despawn?
2. Am I fated to lose everything what I gain from now on?
lds_101 17 Jun, 2023 @ 7:10pm 
Absolutely brutal. I really had plans for those 80k which they took from my solo character...
Niche 18 May, 2023 @ 4:01am 
This mod can be brutal. I love it. Thank you. Very well done :P
Diabetus 9 May, 2023 @ 10:22am 
@Ninjapilot10 quite slim life savings you had then lmao
Ninjapilot10 22 Apr, 2023 @ 1:02am 
wanted to lose money not my life savings 1 group of bandits robed my 1 guy 5 times
Lawh 20 Apr, 2023 @ 9:28am 
Bandits at least previously could be made to steal your gear, but if they have a full inventory they will probably either drop the gear on the ground or then not take anything.
Exalted Samurai 20 Apr, 2023 @ 8:50am 
Fun mod! Now I have to ask for something harder. Is it possible to make a mod that Bandits steal your gear?
Lawh 20 Feb, 2023 @ 6:27pm 
There used to be a separation between animal and humanoid dialogue, but apparently they have changed that.

The issue with Kenshi is, that if you try to limit the dialogue through races and there is a bonedog or some other animal in someone's party, that animal will shield the whole party from robberies. Unless there is something that I can't think of right here and now, it's one of those things that has to happen unless the devs revert the change back.

I think some mods now rely on this new opened dialogue, like some animal husbandry mods. Let's see if the creator of this mod has any ideas.
The Green Bastard 20 Feb, 2023 @ 6:11pm 
They also steal from your bonedogs too... is this something that can be fixed?
Lawh 16 Feb, 2023 @ 9:22am 
Are you sure it was the correct bandit and possibly not one of their comrades or someone else entirely?
Ospinogamer69 15 Feb, 2023 @ 9:17pm 
the bandit didn't have the money.
RevRept 15 Feb, 2023 @ 1:22pm 
@Batrach, no, he had an enpty belt slot, almost empty inventory and a backpack. Anyway, for the long time I'm playing with your mod it's the only issue I had.
Batrach  [author] 15 Feb, 2023 @ 12:20pm 
@RevRept If there is zero space in the bandit's inventory, the money gets dropped on the ground. This would be really strange though since the money items only take up like 1-3 slots of space.
RevRept 14 Feb, 2023 @ 11:48am 
Strangely, the bandit that robbed my character hasn't money (100k) in his inventory. Maybe the issue occured because that bandit was from a modded faction.
Lawh 4 Feb, 2023 @ 12:42pm 
Ah nice one man, good mod!
Ricard-sama 4 Feb, 2023 @ 12:35pm 
@Lawh You can pick up your money on the bandit who stole it from you.
It might be separated in multiple items depending on how much he stole : For example if he stole 23 500 cats from you, there will be two stack of 10k/each, three stack of 1k/each and a final five stack of 100 cats/each ;)
Lawh 4 Feb, 2023 @ 9:15am 
I haven't played this mod but it looks good. Have you got a way to get some of the money back? Like imprisoning the same bandit in one of your towns and then talking to them when they're in a cage?
DeadBeard 1 Feb, 2023 @ 6:48am 
I loved making my first c.100,000 and then getting beat up by bandits and having it stolen. I healed up and searched everywhere for the bandits, i was lucky, i found them still wondering and defeated them then i took back my c.100,000. I like this mod
Dosboy 31 Jan, 2023 @ 6:51am 
Great idea
Blaximus 22 Jan, 2023 @ 6:40am 
Yeah, never getting my items taken always bothered me and made losing feel too inconsequential. Any mods out there that enhances that aspect?

Anyways, great mod! It's a godsend!
Batrach  [author] 21 Jan, 2023 @ 11:21am 
@KingMichaelBee They're supposed to do that in the vanilla game already, the AI is just bad at it.
KingMichaelBee 21 Jan, 2023 @ 1:13am 
is there any way to make it so they loot items as well?
damdam100 12 Jan, 2023 @ 10:48am 
Really cool idea, and glad to see how much depth you've given it as well. Gotta try it out because I've been getting away with way to much shit on my current playthrough
Kobra 9 Jan, 2023 @ 5:36am 
Love this mod, my solo char was beaten down 4 times and I lost 30k cats. Literally sweating as I micromanaged to get the 2 bandits and get my money back.

This is making me be cautious in kenshi much more than before.
Huerta 8 Jan, 2023 @ 1:21am 
This is kind of savage in early game. Very cool.
Mythril 8 Jan, 2023 @ 12:03am 
Nice, felt weird being a hobo millionaire tbh.
