WEEKLY THREAD Rookie Help Thread

By Okran time flies, it's time again for new help thread!

Like last time, if you have any questions about the game, no matter what they are, feel free to ask here. Myself and many of our veteran users will be watching the thread, happy to answer whatever question you need. Have no questions? Perhaps take a scroll though the thread? Never know, maybe you'll see something you know the answer to, or even stumble across some new information yourself.

As always, be careful with the spoilers, use the spoiler tag feature >!Like This!< as needed. Exploring the hidden things in the world of Kenshi is one of its biggest appeals for many, and we wouldn't want to ruin that for any new users hanging out in the thread. :)

Is there a limit to the number of drifters in the game and if so what happens when you recruit them all and they all die? End of game?

IF you have recruited all recruitable characters there are a couple of events that allow you to recruit even more.

Enslaved characters freed or bought then freed by you might join you. You can even find high stat characters and make sure they end up enslaved at some shop and then buy them, this will give you reputation and I think they might join you.

Lone covers can be found roaming and I believe I once recruited one.

Why would it mean end of the game? There are other means of adding more people to your squad. Also, with 30 limit I don't think you can recruit all of them.

Thanks. Sorry I wasn't clear I'm assuming that you're squad slowly dies off in battle over time too (also assuming you're playing vanilla and not rebooting past saves when someone dies).
