I have started a 100 hour long game with the Genesis mod to discover Kenshi because the base game aspect of city felt a bit... Empty. But after 100 hours, I can say that Genesis has a lot of problems concerning collision terrains, empty spaces in custom cities and many bugs (especially when characters get stuck everywhere).

When the mod authors were asked about these issues, they responded "We don't want to work on the bugs we want to add more things first", and I think this sentence represents their mod pretty well.

Anyway, I was talking about Genesis because I feel really happy that you guys made such a cool overhaul, AND you fix stuffs during each patch. I'm gonna start a new game with the Equinox mod, and this time I hope I won't get stuck everywhere or find too many empty towns x)

Thanks a lot, and also do you have in plans to remake the crafting menu? Because scrolling to see each item's description to find polearms, heavy weapons, legs or boots to craft is a real pain. I wish we had at least a search bar or a sorting by category button in Kenshi.

@Obisam Great to hear, be sure to look at the information under the "Important!" tab on the main page for the best user experience.

I plan on patching out as many issues as possible before expanding content and features. User Interface in Kenshi is notoriously bad and I'm not really sure there's a way I can fix it.

There are also planned future content patches that have yet to be revealed in a private build I'm working on. But it's unclear when it will be release-ready.

Very cool, I personally trust more mod authors when they fix their stuff before adding things. Also I forgot to ask, but should I install the 256 persons squad mod, is it compatible or this a feature you added? I don't see it anywhere but it feels like an essential mod for Kenshi nowadays x)

Thank you very much you don't suck a lot.

So i guess you want these here now. Funny enough spawning on raptor island. There is no cooking method off the start to cook raptor meat. And the dwarf crabs on the island spawn regular meat from vanilla which there is no recipe for anymore.
#6
Bubba 11 Feb, 2023 @ 6:41pm 
The crafting tree worked on a new game. Maybe it didnt work before with crafting because of the importing after you made the tech tree update. The group i had was old and thus didnt have it on importing? idk
#7
Canadianeurysm  [developer] 11 Feb, 2023 @ 6:42pm 
@Bubba Raptors just have garbage meat, they're not meant to be edible. Dwarf Crabs are an external integration that still need some tweaking. The reason the primitive start is on Raptor island is because it's very safe.

I am aware some animals lack the new meat, and it needs to be adjusted. It's in the patch notes but this panic patch has messed up the workflow pretty significantly.

I'm hoping now that the primitive craft issue is fixed I can slow down a little and do a bigger patch. That problem was a big one that needed an immediate fix so a few things that I am aware of had to be pushed back a patch to get it live.
#9
Canadianeurysm  [developer] 11 Feb, 2023 @ 7:00pm 
@Bubba Meats fixed, I will include it under the umbrella of Patch 1.0.7, if there is nothing more pressing this will be the last change for this version. Thank you for your patience!

Does the Cannibal expanded mod break anything?

Yes, any of the "Faction Expanded" series are a direct incompatibility

Thanks for an incredible mod. I'm loving the vibe it creates. The only points i have pertain to trouble with the campfire / cooking different foods from animals. The campfire won't let me place raw meats directly into the campfire input because the grid is totally red. I have to queue cooking up to get around this. Some cooked meats still show a raw meat image. The input grid is always redded out and the beak thing meat has a glitch where you can make infinite cooked beak thing without using raw meat from inventory and I can't place it even if I select it from the queue menu because Input grid stays red. Is this a mod conflict issue or is this a bug? Also is there a way I can manually amend some values on armor sets for my own game balance?

You need to select the meat type in the craft menu to get it to craft the desired meat. The infinite Beak Thing meat is fixed, as for rebalances if you know how to do it in the FCS you can do it but there is no way to change values in-game

Thanks Fork - Now that I know it is based on the queue that answers one of my questions - However, I don't see a way to cook the default "raw meat" that you can purchase from traders because there isn't a way to queue up the default "cooked meat" if you know what i mean? . Is this just me being really ignorant? Sorry if it is haha. ^_^. I can amend using FCS for the set that i want to amend. Thanks again for an awesome mod. My favourite part is that the nights actually feel like nighttime ^_^ .

Uh no that is correct, it can't be cooked and its actually slated for removal in the next patch. I've not hard removed it yet because it's still needed for a couple things I'm doing but I am going to disable it by next patch which will probably drop sometime next week.
