I'm getting crashes when trying to talk to any NPCs

Shrek Settlers beginning doesn't have many of the beginning builds

@pro golfer. Vanilla feature, if you get up with more enemies around, your toughness sky-rock

I went from 5 toughness to 26 in one fight. Am I really good at kenshi all of a sudden or is there an xp multiplier mod embedded somewhere in the mod files? I need to know

@lethal Kenshi mods are all about load order. With a mod pack this large, there are usually multiple mods touching the same stuff like UI. If you read a bit about Kenshi Load Order Optimizer, you will see that there are helpful placeholder mods included in this pack that help you to group and order your mods in a way that may help when you add additional mods.

For Dark UI, I place it in the UI section (1.1) before FSM and after FlavorText+. I also unsubscribe from Islands Inkarnate Map Regions because I prefer the Hillshade maps by FajrAl, so I'm not sure if you would want Dark UI before or after that. I'd try before and, if that doesn't work, try after. Hope this helps!

ok i fixed it by copying load order to the config file and IT WORKED!! everything seem to be working but i tied adding DARK UI mod bot it wont work and idk how and what to add the the cofig file please help

hi i love this modpack but i have some issues some NPCs are invisible and NPCs wont use beds and chairs properly they just stand there and some Armors have "X" instead of armor picture and keep getting missing model errors

@Reanimator. At the other modpack everything is made and balanced around UWE. Plus at the Item Integration Patches at the other collection I take care of several small bugs and balance issues across the mods.

hey Anrhaa, im on your other modpack with UWE. I love it, UWE too but the non aesthetic vanilla town layouts are killing me and am super longing for something like CATO, with such immense detail. What do you suggets, what would I miss in this modpack over the UWE one?

September 06:

Last update for the month. I’ll be out for 22 days. An import is not really needed, but you can do it if you want the stuff to show right away.

New mods:

Faction Additions:
+ Bandit Livestock: Some bandits squads now have animals.
+ Holy Scorchlanders: Add Scorchlanders to almost every level of the Holy Nation heirarchy.
+ More Workers: Towns are a bit more populated now with more characters operating machinery/farms. Additionally, it makes the quarry a stone mine.

Bounties:
+ Lord Commander Epson as a guard of Tengu's Vault: So the guy spawns.

Clothes:
+ Sahilarious's Herder's Dress: Female only cute dresses.

Animal Patches:
+ Roaming Crabs are not agressive: Makes (the majority of) crabs not attack player on sight.

@mccheesy. It should, since the pack still use vanilla values

Hey @Anrhaa QQ for you - any idea if Trade Routes Intensified is compatible with this pack?

August 28: Part 2

Another small update. 1 mod removed. No import needed.

Removed mod:

Minor Factions:
- Bounty Caravans - Tech Hunter's Suppliers (multilanguage): They add Tech Hunter with UC and SK bounties. That's pretty bad since that make the factions eventually enemies messing up stores.

Small update. No import needed.

Added mods:

+ No robotics hinge: This resolves a conflict where robotics engineers and haulers take hinges form crossbow crafters for no reason, as hinges aren't used in robotics.
Kaizo + Recruit Prisoners Patch: So RP work with more characters.
+ MFO Scavengers + Recruit Prisoners Patch: So RP work with more characters.

Was casually hunting river raptors during a rainstorm. Ran into a paladin patrol fighting another group of river raptors. Ran over to help only for lighting to strike down on top of fighting group. Two paladins and two river raptors were instantly vaporized with their HP dipping into the negative 500's.

10/10 I laughed my ass off before promptly running to the nearest city to find cover from the storm.

No, I removed sparring partners and so I didn't have that particular patch installed. That is my bad for tinkering with the mods without reading! Thank you for your time!

@DrugOverlord. The patch is named 'Sparring Partner - Strangers and Freaks Patch' and it's loaded right after the main mod at the Load Order. Is the mod correctly installed at your game?

Yeah, I did a test run with the mod on and had the bug, deactivated and it worked again. Is the patch included in the mega patch or on its own? Maybe I need to re-download

@DrugOverlord. There is a patch included that restores everything erased but the original mod.

Does the bug appears at your current playthrough?

Hey, from what I can see, Strangers and Freaks is semi-incompatible with CATO as well. At the very least it messes up the buildings in the Hub, specifically removing the Bar building and making it ruined. Because of the squad spawning I think? Not sure if there are more places with issues.

August 13:

Managed to make it work after nuking everything. I think the issue was that I was testing multiple packs.

I tried with the lowest settings, also did a clean reinstall. Same problem

@titus. My PC and laptops are from 2018 and not 1/3 as strong your PC and they still run the game just fine. The game is just bad at using recourses. Try lower settings

I have 64gb ram and an amd 7900xt gpu... I think it should suffice? Anyway I will try with lower settings.

@titus. I just begun a new game at Clownsteady. No issue. I did the same at my PC, no issue.

I play at mid settings with no shadows. Perhaps your device run out of memory? The base game EATS ram. So playing with high settings isn't recommended.

@titus. Clownsteady... Clownsteady? I'll take a look too

Actually just starting the game as a Wanderer in Clownsteady crashed the game. The same with your other uwe collection.

However I don't think that makes it crash as the other log files have 10 more seconds of data, however nothing that I pops up as an obvious error

Crash when going towards Clownsteady. Last line in kenshi_info.log is [error]: Loaded mesh doesn't exist: distant_37.mesh

August 07:

New mods added. No import needed.

New mods:

Dialogue:
+ Agnu Pronoun Correction Mod: Agnu is female.

Races:
+ Hive Cybernetics Patch and Tweaks: Several tweaks for the Cyborg hivers.

Game Starts:
+ Random Scenario Start.

Recruits:
+ Remove DC_IS_RECRUITABLE: Remove recruitable check for literally every possible (vanilla) joinable person. Basically, you can still recruit people even if they get too strong.

Bounties:
+ Four Teeth Milton: Adds him to game (He wasn't before).
+ Canyonlands Killer Bounty: Adds him to game (He wasn't before).

Clothes:
+ Sahilarious's Wanderer's Garb: The long awaited mod.

On Floor 1(in game) of Machinist building in World's end there is electrical benches and other stuff blocking the way to the rest of the 1th floor and the 2nd floor, turning off Machinist University mod and importing the game helped. Please check if it's only on my save.

Many thank again to you who must have spend a lot of time and to everyone who worked on this. Have a great day.

@charaistb. You're doing good asking. Better safe than sorry. If isn't then it means it got hidden/deleted again. It's completely optional, so it affect nothing if you don't have it

Last stupid question haha, i'm sorry. About the Shek perfect body (Nude mod), i can't find it on SCARaw's Nesux page. ( There is one but sfw)
It's optionnal so there will be no trouble ?

(damn, i feel stupid asking this but knowing how kenshi sometime react, i'm so afraid haha :D )
