good luck on exams!

@The Mr Shears. Great to hear you're back boss :D

Hey everyone, I've come back to Kenshi after a long while, so I'm going to start updating my mods again! I've got exams relatively soon, so I won't be that fast on the updates. I've also discovered the secret art of file compression meaning the absolutely superfluous size of my mods will be no more. Apologies for not fixing it until now!

one of my favorite mods, good stuff

maybe a mod you recently downloaded bugged it

Since recently the scavenger backpack has no loot in it. It's empty. Does anyone have any idea why that would happen? Doesn't seem like the mod has been updated recently.

if I could say anything about this mod it's this.

1. the loot they have in terms of the loot on the mule is not worth it.
2. they're crazy powerful for being just scavengers, they need a small nerf in stats
3. Gutterhead needs a 20k or 30k bounty to justify raiding his stronghold now that the place is way harder and so is he.

Other than all that I love this mod and what it adds to the game. Would love to see other custom armor types on them too similar to scavenger's can.

Meh loot ain't worth it, but not a hard fight either

I don't feel very compelled to raid their base. The 15k reward for Gutterhead sounds underwhelming when compared to the 40k from the Vodoo Brothers. Does the loot compensate?

Import?

Personally, I'd like to see a "lite" version of this (and other 'Minor Faction Overhaul') without the new weapons or new armor. For one thing, new weapons and armor makes most these mods too large - most being over 100 MB. For another, many players (like myself) like to use weapon and armor mods and, often, there will be overlaps, either in how the weapons and armor looks or how they're named.

Any plans to make a separate mod with just the new helmet/gear?

The scavengers seem pretty strong. I've seen them beat the ninjas at the Hub.

Powerful scavenger bands definitely make sense with the universe IMO. Good job.

I don't usually comment on anything, but I just saw a group of like 17 scavengers raid a 4 home shit village and take the arms and legs of multiple militia members, severely wound the starving peasants, and then steal what meager food they had and run off into the sunset.

yeah you got in that spotlight dude, nice job

Congrats on making it onto the official Lo-Fi Games Kenshi Community Spotlight #11 on Youtube; definitely well deserved!

The scavs are coming out near equal to the strength of most of the HC troops patrolling the Okran's Valley region as well; you might want to either scale them slightly back or move them away from the low level starting regions. You did them justice though and their gear looks great; thanks for the amazing mod!

10/10 copper wire thief overhaul

I might have to nerf them again, but its supposed to represent how the scavs will occasionally form a huge warband and raid an area.

Great mod, as all the other revamp ones! <3
as for the early game balancing, i don't know if its intentional but one patrol of like 17 or so, just rolled over The hub, killing and dismembering the guards at 10 minutes of a new save D:

very cool thanks

The scavengers have been nerfed slightly in strength and numbers so they shouldn't completely roll the samurai. The scavengers spawn very rarely in UC territory anyways until Tengu is killed.

Wanna add this mod but worried about that one comment saying a patrol of these guys will kill samurais lol, has that been fixed?

They spawned all across the south-east from Stormgap Coast to Sniper Valley and The Crags, but very rarely. Their HQ was the old control tower in Venge. I expanded their reaches across the continent so that they actually lived up to the name 'Scavenger'

Where did they originally spawn?

Yes.

so this is a vanilla faction?

Adds a nice level of increased random danger. I run 200+ mods and haven't had any conflicts since adding this.

Love the revamp, raiding murder hobos!

A thought: I noticed their patrols in the UC are pretty dang powerful. Watched one group of these guys just annihilate several samurai patrols outside Heng. Not sure how intentional this is but I personally found it a bit jarring. Could maybe split the faction and lower the stats to more Rebel Farmer levels for the UC? So you can keep them tough for the Pits and other areas with big Scavenger patrols.

Great work though!

based

can wait to get bps for that helmet

Thank you for the mod! Has anyone tested this with UWE?

looking forward to trying it out!

Any plans for a NCE patch or a world state tied to Gutterhead/ the Old Control Tower?

I don't know any conflicts so far, but the mod doesn't change anything drastic so there shouldn't be any complete conflicts.

Do you know of any mod conflicts?

Very nice, thank you!

Not yet. I'll add them once i've finished the update i'm working on!

Great mod! Are the blueprints for the weapons and scavenger's can available?

Scavenger's can looks pretty good, it fits into the game perfectly
