Simple and Fast Load Order Guide

由 SCARaw 制作

This is guide designed to get you to play the game and not keep pondering your load order forever
Guide use mod weighting method which assign value to each mod by eye/vibes/description
its literally devided into 4+1 categories based on weight and from here you just go to play
Guide should be safe to implement for your save files, however it relay on players a lot
Players who wanna utilize this Load Order Method need to make sure their mods don't conflict
There are many people who just download whatever often mods changing same things twice
and for that this load order might break or overwrite changes you would want to preserve

Introduction and what is mod Weight method

Lets Consult the Graph

We can now tag our mods accordingly

[Free]
[World]
[Asset]
[FCS]
[Global]

we might need better tags, but you get the idea

Core of the idea

Lets say you wanna build tower of rocks:

1st you place Big Rock
2nd you place Medium Rock
3rd you place Small Rock

WOW, nobody ever thinked of that
Now you just invert the Rocks because kenshi load 1st on the list as 1st to load

Order of Loading things in kenshi

Splash Screens
Title Screen
UI
Loading Screen
Map shape
Visual config
World Generation
Assets (as they are called)
AI, Squads, Dialogues
Global Constants

By this logic you can see the Exception to Asset Category

Splash Screens
Title Screen
UI
Loading Screen
Map shape
Visual config

by all means most of this assets are single Png/jpg files
so whenever you load them will not drastically affect anything

with real exception of:

Map shape - Simple Map Fixes - need REKenshi to load
Visual config - native stylise / Shader SSAO / Shader Fix

Some Assets can be loaded as weightless mods

Simply replace the original texture/ui files and roll with it :)
most of the times this operation is seamless
unless you have conflicting ui mods
in this case load preferred UI in Asset Category and hope for the best

FCS Colors:

Loading mods in FCS can indicate info with colors

Red: item has been deleted in a previous mod
Blue: the active mod in FCS has changed the item
Green: a new item the active mod in FCS has added
Orange: an item added by a later mod in the load order
Grey: a previously added item that has been deleted by the FCS active mod

Number of Mods is not good indicator for changes

Captain obvious with more common sense

Whenever you browse mod collections you see name, image, number of mods
Sadly said number does not really mean anything
its fair to assume
10x 1KB mods load faster than 2x 3GB mods
yet its fair to believe 2 mods will have more changes and edits that can potentially collide with things

More About Weightless Mods

i like to call them Mods that doesn't load

They are most common on Nexus or Github
some of them can do it on steam in form of diet version

benefits of weightless mods

Load significantly faster than .mod counterparts
Does not require load order
does not conflict with other mods in regular way (rather than crashes you can stack too many ui changes or textures with UV/MIPMAPS which cause lags (you can do the same by staying steam only, just keep installing 30 texture mods and see how it goes...))
Provide unique benefits and possibilities to the game - Some mods can only be possible to implement like this
Replacing or editing files directly avoid double-loads or loading bar going backwards

Potential risk

You might install UI mod on top of ui mod causing your text to be invisible or hard to read
Whenever you wanna remove such mod you need to either have backup or verify integrity of the files
Any .mod mod that edit similar thing might remove benefits of the weightless mod

World Generation

Game load faster when you load big scale edits 1st

here we have:

zone files
Foliage editors
non-PSO weather editors
City Tweaks
World overhauls
New Factions with base

Mod size in this category can be from 5mb to 10gb :)
its easy to mistake them with assets due to how some modders deal with map fixes
for example:
Better Crop Fences is World Gen mod (zone files)
Little Better Farm Fences is Asset mod (no zone files)

Exception: Mod Dependency

Lets just say Mod A add Race to the game
and mod B make Race spawn in brand new faction
in this case:
Mod B - World Gen lifts
Mod A - Asset right above itself :)
Thus Correct Load Order Being:
Mod A
Mod B

Assets is quite Wide category

Here is how i weight assets

New mesh and new texture for new object
New mesh and new texture for existing object
New Meshes
New Textures
New Animations
New Icons

There is no need to stress too much about them

If asset is called previously its dependency or small size mod (less than 10mb)
if asset is big, its good idea to get it out of the way now

Eventually just replace vanilla assets or tangle them together into 1 big mod

out of sight = out of mind :)
there is nothing to worry about or reason to spend hours categorizing assets to lighter and heavier if you don't know it immediately

AI & Dialogues - Pure FCS mods

Pure FCS mods usually looks like this:

You have image file - what you see in workshop front of the mod
you have description - mouse over the mod in load order :)
you have mod file itself - the actual mod
Optionally you can see Readme or License file or even example image

Global Constant - final adjustments

Compatibility patches

By all logic they should be right next to lightest mod they change
however due to people making mistakes and by going with the rule:
Better safe than Sorry, i listed it here

Once again goal of the guide is to get your list sorted, not ponder with it for hours

Global Constant

its category in FCS changes
night darkness scale
Squad and Faction size for player
Attack slots

mods that delve into this changes are tiny 0-1Kb + image

Closure

Load Order is not that hard

there are configurations of mods where things breaks no matter what
pondering load order might not be able to fix it for you

Biggest load order mistakes

People trying to make work mods that even authors said will conflict
People double/triple dipping same changes with different mods
People don't even read what the mods do, just follow modlist/recommendations
Players take whatever is popular without checking when it was last updated
People misinterprets what QoL and bugfixing mods actually are or if said bug wasn't patched in 2019
