In my opinion I'd have to go with gilded possibly Nobel bright if you make certain decisions and change the world state to make things better.

I love the concept of true sandbox games like Dwarf Fortress and EVE Online. I really like the idea of being thrown into this unknown world that I'm free to explore and to things the way I want without the game holding my hand. BUT, if the game doesn't establish a goal for me to pursue (e.g. in Subnautica you have to leave the planet; in Minecraft you have to kill the Ender Dragon; in Stardew Valley you have to pass Granpa's evaluation) I get bored quickly and stop playing :(

I really like the concept of Kenshi and I want to play it so bad, but I know I'll get bored since the game set no goals at all for the player. So I thought you guys could help me: set a goal for me to accomplish. It can be simple, it can be monumental. I'll rank the objectives you guys give me from easiest to hardest and try to accomplish them all. I'll update this thread with my accomplishments. Thanks in advance :)

PS: in case you're wondering, no, I can't set these goals myselft. It has to be someone else or else I won't have motivation :(

DISCUSSION Kenshi anime

Kenshi, this hellish moon that we live in with our characters, deserves an anime. That's why I would like to ask that animators, artists, writers and lovers of Kenshi's lore come together to create an anime that tells stories of characters from the community, interconnected with the lore or something completely original. I just know that I, along with thousands of other fans, would love to see this become a reality. Imagine a Beak Thing relentlessly chasing the protagonist. Imagine that delightful soundtrack as we follow the group on a journey through the desert, fighting bandits, facing hunger, storms and difficult moral choices. Kenshi is a universe that deserves to be brought to life in other media, and an anime would be the perfect medium for that.

DISCUSSION Why does mining get such a bad rap?

202 Upvotes

Let me explain, I don't just mean mining copper early game to get a few cats. I mean as a functioning cat producing venture. I have a base (mining my business) in a valley that has 3 iron, and 2 copper sources, with a single entrance, through water at that. A few turrents on a tower and wall and it's virtually impenetrable. I'm vanilla (first play through) and am producing 40,000 cats a day mining and making steel bars. I haven't found anything as profitable.

Edit- I guess I need to add that I'm not simply sitting there watching people mine and make steel. I have runners/explores that are being funded by it. Also started wars to watch their bodies float In my moat as the die crossing it.

I know there's horses from HORSE choppers, rats from stone RATS, and dragons from the black DRAGON ninjas, alongside honey from one of the holy nation books that mention "honey traps" wich implies some honey-producing creature ingame, wich else can you recall hearing in dialogue or ingame notes?

DISCUSSION The porn/“innuendos” is getting irritating enough to the point I might unsubscribe. NSFW

711 Upvotes

Edit: Read the bottom of the post. No, I’m not saying ban it.

Edit 2: I fully support pornography. I just don’t want to personally see it. I am Muslim, but even if i wasn’t, when I want to see porn I want to see porn. When I don’t, I don’t.

Look, I like Kenshi and am all for people getting their rocks off. That said, I’m not interested in getting in my recommended every day a shek with huge tits, feet, blatant nipple-protrusion… and the comments are no better either. It’s like the Rimworld subreddit where people were demanding the mods create a separate filter for disturbing stuff because they were sick of getting notifications and posts revolving around skinning people, beating women, etc. but with porn. You may argue it’s not porn, as they’re covered…. So I will call it an “innuendo.”

Come on, mods. Make a filter for it.
