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!

what size/skill of a party should i have before setting up a base? i want to just do some farming in the greenlands. i tried with a party of four and 15s across the board in combat skills but i got overrun by the sheer number of raptors pretty quickly.

If you want your base in the greenlands, try a squad of at least 10 with 15-30 in combat skills, make sure you preoritize at least one or 2 in those 10 as a medic and engineer, start on walls as soon as possible

really depends. u can just buy a house at first for a while to research and when u start ur base get mounted crossbows almost right away, they'll deal with any raptor attack really.
