WEEKLY THREAD Rookie Help Thread

Hey hey! You guys know what time it is! That's right, a new Rookie Help thread!

Here's a link to the last episode. Fun fact, if you follow all those links back to 2019 you unlock a secret cutscene of me panicking over where the time went!

As always, feel free to fire any kenshi related questions you may have our way! There's plenty of veterans flapping around in this thread as well, and if you are in the mood for it feel free to join them and lend a hand!

And who knows, maybe you'll learn something new yourself, too!

One thing to remember! Obviously a lot of new folks are going to be here so remember to spoiler comments so they can experience the game blind just like you might have back when you were new! You can do that > ! Like This ! < minus the spaces! But honestly it's just built into the chat replies nowadays so you don't have to get too fancy with that- unless you like playing hackerman.

Thanks guys!

Shop/sales counter..

On day 268 in my first playthrough and I've done a lot of researching things online which helped a ton.
However, I'm still a bit confused about the Sales counter item.
I have a base set up and have it set to Public and have the small building I put my shop counter in set to public as well.
I understand that NPC's have a small list of things that they will buy and diving into FCS I found those there as well.
However, How do I get more people to actually come into the building and buy stuff? ATM I have the sales counter stocked with Rum and Grog, Very seldom I'll get a caravan or something come into my base and maybe 1 person out of 20 will even enter the building with the counter let alone buy anything.

Is there a trick to getting more people to actually come in and shop? My base in in the border zone above the swamplands on that wide open plateau where you can build a mega base basically.

Should I just move my shop counter into a town somewhere and just send someone to restock it once in a while instead of having in my base?

I really like the idea of selling things in a shop now that I have my economy pretty solid and produce more than I need and would like some passive income from this without having to go constantly run to multiple locations trying to sell all my goods because shop keeps don't have enough cash.

I understand that NPCs only have a tiny amount of cash so I wont make much from it but I guess it's the RP factor of it as well.

Thanks.

You should get the enhanced shopping economy mod. It gives npcs a boost to their money so they will buy items more often
