UWE Loading Screen Tips
Below are all the loading screen tips, included with UWE:


-Sneaking in Universal Wasteland Expansion can be a very dangerous activity, with NPCs attacking anybody they see sneaking indoors, on sight. Even sneaking outdoors in a town can get you into trouble with some...

-Gambling is a great new way to possibly make some cats within Universal Wasteland Expansion. Try your luck in Shark!

-All factions(non-bandit) now have their own justice system and will make arrests and give out bounties, within Universal Wasteland Expansion. Handing in bounties to a faction will raise your relations, as well.

-The Tech Hunters are the only faction that will pay good cats for any tech items you may come across in ruins, within Universal Wasteland Expansion. Other factions can't utilize the items in the same way as the Tech Hunters.

-People now pick up their wounded, within Universal Wasteland Expansion, instead of leaving them to die on the ground of the battlefield.

-The Northern Hive, within Universal Wasteland Expansion, are extremely xenophobic and do not allow non-hivers in their lands. Beware of the Northern Coast!

-Bounties can be paid off at a faction's pacifier, within Universal Wasteland Expansion, along with a fee to bribe your bounty away.

-Killing the Bugmaster, within Universal Wasteland Expansion, could come with some unintended consequences...

-Fogmen have the possibility of taking over the world, within Universal Wasteland Expansion, if the hiver faction queens are no longer in power. Unleash the Fog!

-Find some chumps beaten down on the side of the road? Within Universal Wasteland Expansion, you can sell any character into slavery to the Highlanders for a handsome 400 cats.

-The Cannibal Hunters will pay an 80-100 cat bounty for any cannibals you bring into them, at The Bastion, within Universal Wasteland Expansion. Where the cannibals will then be placed in a Skin Shredder!

-All minor faction campaign raids(except for campaigns against enemies) can be paid off and bribed to leave in peace, within Universal Wasteland Expansion. You will need to talk to the leader of the raid at your town gates and not have the "shoot first ask later" setting enabled.

-Within Universal Wasteland Expansion, most if not all factions can be joined(not all at once tho), whether it be by paying your way in or taking out a faction's enemies to prove your worth. Talk to faction leaders to learn more...

-If something is selling for a very low price, look to sell it at another town where such supplies are in less abundance to reap a larger profit, within Universal Wasteland Expansion.

-Near large battlefields, animals have seemed to be unleashed into a sort of "feeding frenzy." Be aware of looting in large battlefield biomes(Such as Bast and Skinner's Roam) as you could become an animals next meal, within Universal Wasteland Expansion.

-Stealing is much harder in Universal Wasteland Expansion, as shop guard numbers have been beefed up and guard post locations have been altered to watch over loot much more carefully.

-There are plenty of town overrides, based upon numerous world states, within Universal Wasteland Expansion. Killing a leader of a faction can cause the override of many towns or even let a rival faction in to fill the vacuum.

-Tired of getting raided by a faction? Go take out their leader, which will weaken them enough to stop the constant raids, within Universal Wasteland Expansion.

-The Bele'coz, within Universal Wasteland Expansion, are extremely xenophobic and do not allow non-Shek(Shek, Dra'ak, Kezok) in their lands. Beware the southern Stenn Desert!

-Stealth KO or Kidnapping a faction leader is nearly impossible now, within Universal Wasteland Expansion.(Unless you have already knocked them out in battle, of course.)

-Most factions now have their own trade culture, effectively creating an economic market more based upon supply and demand, within Universal Wasteland Expansion.

-There are many interesting recruits included within Universal Wasteland Expansion, with some only recruitable under special circumstances...

-Sick of farming the same crops? Universal Wasteland Expansion includes many new crop types to choose from.

-Only loading in a save from the main menu can help avoid bugs and issues on a game save. Loading a save from the in-game menu, during a playthrough, is not recommended.

-Certain rare items bought in shops will never be restocked after being bought.

-Save the game often, you never know when you'll need it...

-Prisoners will be beaten in most faction jails, within Universal Wasteland Expansion. Just more added incentive to not get caught...

-All weapon spawns have been overhauled to properly utilize Kenshi's weapon spawn system, within Universal Wasteland Expansion. Effectively, heavily diversifying weapon spawns, in general.

-The "Faction Relation Levels" are as follows: +50 is alliance; -30 is enemy; -10 is minimum for Faction Pacifier usage

-Time in Kenshi is accumulated as follows, in real-time per game time: Normal Speed, 2 seconds per minute, 2 minuted per hour, 48 minutes per day; X2 Speed, 1 second per minute, 60 seconds per hour, 24 minutes per day; X5 Speed, 0.4 seconds per minute, 24 seconds per hour, 9 minutes 36 seconds per day

-Rain Collectors should be utilized in areas with lots of rain.(Acid rain even counts)

-Several new crops are added within Universal Wasteland Expansion, that can be crafted into fabrics or fuel.
