You're too kind, thank you! :) Good lord you did great with editing. Something to add is that getting a Traders Wooden Backpack is better at the start as you weigh 4kg less and can actually carry more out of Narkos Trap. Right after Narkos Trap though you definitely want to work on getting that amazing Large Backpack. At Blister Hill the only thing you'll have that is illegal from Narkos Trap is AI Cores and Ancient Science books. You can safely enter with everything else. I'm only mentioning that because the gate guard has a habit of doing 2 dialogue checks in a very short span of time so make sure they talk to you twice before going back through the gate. 6:34 You were negative bandaged health crippled, weren't ya? xD 7:22 Provided they do not fill their inventory with new stock (As in the containers need to make space for the new items) they should still have the materials you sold. 7:53 Ensure that Medic (Shift click medic at the bottom right) is set as a job BEFORE going on the Fog Pole. Can't assign it on the pole. Also saving and loading a save on a Fog Pole will usually remove all your jobs so if you want to save prior to this be sure to save before getting on. And after losing a single leg just keep it off while on the pole so your unit will medic themselves. I'd suggest defense training after Toughness training. With low Toughness it'll take a long time to defense train. Fantastic tips at the end. My guy this video is absolutely amazing.

I don't even remember the last time I added a video to Favorites, but I sure did add this one- also liked and subscribed. That was a great video.

A couple of tips: 1) a “safe” way to get decent stealing, stealth, and assassination do without cheesing the safe and restart is to find a downed enemy (preferably crippled so they can’t run away). Whenever they wake up, stealth and use assassinate. Once they start playing dead, pause and put something in their inventory before stealing it back (rapidly boosting thievery). Running around them when playing dead also boosts stealth. 2) whenever you remove a cyber limb while in combat, you character instantly plays dead. By doing this while surrounded by enemies and getting back up, you an rapidly boost toughness.

I used to play Kenshi a lot and I had an idea. The holy nation hates skeletons. If you have 3 or 4 limbs, you are a skeleton. The leader of the holy nation can be kidnapped and you can remove his limbs and turn him into a skeleton. Doing this will likely mean he was a punching bag/training dummy for a while. I don't know about you, but my training dummy punching bag slaves got really tough. Now if you were to capture the leader of the holy nation and use him as a punching bag for a while, then give him 4 limbs to turn him into a skeleton, would his people attack him? Can you buff him up enough as a punching bag for him to murder his own people solo?

If you're gonna do toughness training after having lost a leg then you might as well just get surrounded by bandits at a stationary camp (so they don't walk off) and remove your leg to force the playing dead status. Put the leg back on and give your character a move order. Same as being beaten unconscious.

Very good info, thanks for the tips

great guide that does not involve kidnapping cat-lon at start and cheese imprisoning him to be training dummy. i just want to add that after fogmen eat your limbs and you put mechanical ones instantly. your limbs are technically still bleeding, if you remove your limbs. it will mess up your healing if you try to heal later while having mechanical limbs on. so after you run away from fogmen, you need to remove your limbs again , and first aid yourself until your stumps stop bleeding.

Did he say it "should take take more than an in game day or two"??? Just to pass that XP??? This is amazing !!! Im not sure my life is suited for this game but I'll give it a try ́

One little tip for kenshi ... if you remove your left arm you will always get a 0% knock-out .... the game factors into you having both arms to register a KO. So you can remove your arm and spam assassination and get that up faster on practically any enemy in the game that is around.

Just play as a skeleton. Assemble the skeleton gang. Just 4 of you will be unstoppable. After recently starting skeleton only playthrough I've no idea why some people claim that organic races are stronger. Great video, one small nitpick - assassins' rags aren't that good on organics especially when soloing, but in a team could still work decently well.

There might be an easier way to get toughness. Instead of them beating you up, which makes you take damage, lose blood etc., you can just agro all of them, and then pop your legs out, this will knock you out for 3s, than you put them back on and get up(gaining you toughness xp), and then immediately remove the legs again, not taking any damage.

On my game, went for black gorillos, 6 of them, training art martial until 90 (so good dext and str), then put some of my armor and get them beaten by hungry bandits to get dodge xp and thoughness. Now I just go around and capture all the VIP and chain them in my city. Only took 10 guys, but could do it with 100 :')

Im so waiting for Kenshi 2, i hope the add a LOT of animation for different levels of things, like for example in the beginning you should grab your weapon in a very bad form, like a really amateur. And i also hope they add a shit ton of animations for levels, also dual wielding and daggers. I need more kenshi.

Step one: learn the game mechanics. Step two: get beep and agnu step three: Die a lot Step four: Master the game mechanics Step five: become a GOD of kenshi Step six: Introduce some mods Step seven: see your god get eaten by cannibals/fogmen

do you have collection list of mods you use? if yes can you list it? or give us link ty

Found out you can skip step 5 almost completely if you tried to make it all the way to block 100 in step 4 due to the sheer amount of shinobi guard beatings it takes to get those last 10 levels.

Or... rather than do all of this... You can go to Mourn. By in game day 10 you'll be rocking 90s in most combat stats.

To me Kenshi is easy mabye I took it the easy way mabye I got experience from other games. Such as Empire Earth, Stronghold Crusader & Generals, I started with a skeleton because they are kool. I looked & learned the stats I understood how to make money. Mining cooper and then I just snow balled from there having small objectives and understanding the game mechanics. At 1st I just recruited and recruited and picked my fights used the advantage of crossbows and using very fast characters to scout and understand territories then from there I understood that crossbows outranging and kiting opponets is OP afterwards I estabilshed small farms & bases here and there to get money & materials At 1st I just had nomad mining cooper parties because they were very profitable moving on I started a small base in some ruins then from there I just understood that for research I can use the defence of other settlements mixed with the fact that I can just buy books from neighbouring traders moving in reaching higher levels of technology made me really push it I lost some characters searching AI cores characters that I grown attached to but that was part of the growth... moving on ~ 1 IRL year later. I killed the ENTIRE no I WIPED the entire holy nation all because they were not kool with skeletons and I like skeletons.

just a little ways southeast of the southeastern most holy mines but before the deadlands there is a patch of flat desert where a huge pack of starving bandits spawn, its the biggest pack of them that spawns, and there is no other creatures out there for occasional holy patrols that spawn there, and if you put on heavy armor and just block while letting them beat you, and be sure to click get up, dont play dead because getting up around hostile enemies gives you a bonus modifier to your toughness, you can level your toughness there to 100 stupid fast
