Yeah it is.

Also I’m adopting your mentality of enjoying on sleepless hour or few before work and not letting it affect your day

Glad you've been enjoying the series! Hopefully you don't miss too much sleep, but I'm happy if my method ends up working for you too. :)

Doing well, thanks. I've been working on a few moding projects for another game, but I'll be back to Kenshi soon! I've got the itch.

That's good to hear. I've been missing your kenshi content.

Yeah, they shouldn't have too much of a problem with movement speed. We have a few heavy tankers in the party already so we're never fast when moving as a group. That's ok. I know the trader's backpacks in particular have higher penalties, it works out fine with the tank characters holding them though. The tanks have more armor to absorb the extra hits, and they usually have the strength to avoid encumbrance from filling them. I may switch a few traders backpacks to the ranged characters instead, because I don't think they hinder that type of attack anyway. If you'd prefer your character to wear a certain type of backpack I'm totally open to it, just let me know which. :)

Yeah, by the time you reach the tech you probably have better ways to get them. Like you said, money and thievery are way easier. That's why they ended up being the last thing I'm going to research. I really want to make every possible item this playthrough though, so I'm going for it. :D

I'm looking forward to have a full masterwork set to ogle at.

OOoh, I'll have to do that next time with the research. Spoiler: I found the crab blueprints!

@@more_shifty Oh shit! Nice! Did I miss that in a past episode xD

Hahaha, I'll take your word for it. I was feeling pretty confident that I could (considering we've already defeated Igor), but maybe a massive swarm would have been too much.

@@more_shifty The swarm's one thing but the leader, he's something else xD Although you have walls now so it shouldn't be as much of an issue. Also I don't remember if my mods added anything different to the base game assault, maybe the memory's screwed

It's on my list, next time we're all at the Doughnut. I'll train everyone with katanas in the arena.

I didn't know that, I heard they don't have to eat while carried though. Interesting.

Thanks!

I'm not sure if I've every used that. I'll definitely give it a try, thanks!

Shift-F12 is a godsend. You can level buildings, place items closer together like storage and crafting, and make your base feel authentic.

If you come across a plastic surgeon, can you change kenpachi to tall and fit? Thank you. Sorry if it's asking too much.

I'll give the animals a shot again, maybe it'll be easier to micromanage now. It would be very nice when carrying things to start outposts (which I plan to do more of eventually). I'll change Kenpachi, no problem.

It has been mentioned, it's a good idea. I'm not adding mods until I've explored the entire world, but I plan to do plenty after that so I'll likely add it.

Interesting, I'll keep an eye out for them. Unfortunately Beep already passed away in this playthrough. :(

@@more_shifty Beep and Spade died when 42 of my guys invaded Blister Hill on Day 100. I have recruited 105 (if they didn't die 107) in my 100/100 challenge of recruiting and training 100+ in 100 days. If you want to run around fighting and YET be able to build a good base(s) for good food, high grade weapons, crossbows, armors, ..., you need to recruit at least 30 guys. building a base also allows some of your guys to train athletics, strength, and crossbows AUTOMATICALLY by running around hauling iron and to guard your outpost. I always use the 256 mod, but no other mod to play this game. Running around looting these ancient labs is really boring and time consuming in the long run, unless you want to get AI cores and other research material to make your weapons and stuff. After a while, if you only loot and kill, your game become pretty boring, unless you have some specific goal in mind, say to recruit and train all the special characters in this game. In my next and probably last run, I will create 10 medics to heal all the enemies that I fight against. You will be surprised that you can recruit some of your enemies (bandits) by healing them or releasing them from prison cages. This game is richer than most people realize.

Glad you've been enjoying the series. :) I'll look it up Beastforge, that's always been something I thought would be cool. I'll probably wait till I've explored the whole world before adding mods, but it's on my list. Hopefully it can be added to an already running world.

@@more_shifty Yes, I have been enjoying the series as a whole! I do wish you could change the playlist order so it goes descending instead of the way it is currently set up that the latest episode begins first, but no biggie and more of a mere inconvenience when I was trying to play them from episode 1. And yep, most of the mods can be added mid-game without much of an issue. You will probably need to do an import save rather than the typical load save from the main menu. Just a note of caution though*, import will despawn a couple of game elements, including dead bodies, random loot that have been discarded outside of storage containers, and npc like contracted mercenaries and kidnapped people outside of prison cages etc. So better to resolve those stuff before any import! *Import will also wipe certain world states, and without diving much into spoiler territory, one of them is erasing all the unique prisoners held inside the Tengu's Vault tower (the one you tried sneaking into this video haha). There are mods that can help reset those state triggers and specifically respawn the affected npcs, but otherwise it can be quite annoying that import would affect this in the first place.

That's a good tip. I'll definitely start doing that. (You won't see it for a few episodes though, I recorded a bunch already cause I'm on going out of town for two weeks.)

You don't need turret. Instead you can use archers to guard your outpost. Let them hold and range will get them more xbow xp while they are guarding the base. In fact, I don't even use any wall. This way, my archers get more opportunities to sense and shoot at anything around my open base(s).

Sure that would work fine but you'll be manually moving them to the wall and changing them to Hold. Of course in a perfect world you just have skeleton turret dudes 24/7. To each their own of course, if archer only/no walls defense is your bag more power to ya.

I'm keeping to the 30 character limit, so I'm only recruiting humanoids for now. We're almost full already.

@@more_shifty which is why I proposed to keep a dead one with a backpack on so you can use him as portable storage xD

No, this is an old single player game. It's a blast though.

@@more_shifty could be the one i mean, im probably remembering wrong

Haha, thanks.

That might have been it. He probably ran back to his hut when he healed. I went back and captured him again though, so it turned out ok.

I'll try to do that more often. A lot of times if I know how the combat is going to end up I'll let it play fast. Definitely when we're fighting harder opponents I like to slow it down.

Crazy. There's a name for everything. I've heard of fletcher and bowyer before, the others are new to me.

I usually get it right when they talk to me. Sometimes they attack without talking though. -_-

Thanks! I really like my bases to feel cozy and enjoy adding a lot of little details.

Hooray! XD Thanks for the sub, hope you enjoy the content to come.

Thanks. Sure, he can go back to katanas.

I usually do a little mental math and go for whatever material I have surplus of. Doing the longer projects will definitely reduce the number of low quality "training items" I produce though.

Glad you're enjoying it, it's been fun to play.

Nice! I'm looking forward to working on the village more when I get back.

Yeah, he's getting stronger. That's partially why I wanted him to train heavy weapons before the rest, It'll help him move with his heavy armor. I think he's about ready for something new (katanas, heavy weapons, and blunt are at 30 already). I try to reduce encumbrance during potentially dangerous fights, or when I want to travel fast though.

Nice, let me know how the raids are around there.

@@more_shifty so far it’s been the black dragons and red sabres, not too bad if you have some Mercs and a nice turret setup. You also get UC tax and holy nation mumbo jumbo tho. We’ll see if I end up slapping the priest.

Nice. Maybe we'll befriend them some day, for now they're archery targets.

@@more_shifty and an excellent source of protein.
