Noteworthy is that loot is generated inside ruins/dungeons as soon as you come near it for the first time that it loads into the game. If you create a save while far away from a ruin you've never been near to ( quite a big range, similar range to the range towns start loading) and then explore it and reload save, ruin will have different loot in containers all the time
I've been in that scraphouse. Didn't even know it had an upstairs section :-((... Never even thought to look. I just assumed it was a dead end shed with nothing inside it. DOH*
i'll share another tip i figured, those spider robots have some sort of an area/perimeter bound at which point they will not go any further, and it seems to be the same range/radius that is the building range limit (when it's blue when trying to place), so all u need is 5 building materials to build a small shack a couple meters away from that limit and shoot at them from there (close the door if it, somehow, u know pathfinding in this game, gets too close) with some crossbows.. easy win.. also doing it from below a tent (1 animal skin or 1 fabric) in the acid rain areas helps and is lighter and cheaper but more dangerous talking about crossbows, if you want a good protection for your base, just put some crossbowmen (not turret, like that u can train them at it) on a section of a wall, and then just dismantle the ramp to prevent access.. do that on two wall sections facing each other with a food storage box on each , and ur good for days ; )
Yeah I've noticed that as well about the guardians of locations. I think it also applies to city gate guards, making you able to kite them out into the open.
Sweet dude thankyou for this video! I thought kenshi was just cities I had no idea that there were ruins/treasure troves littered around the map. I thougth maybe you just bought everything from a shop and that's how you progressed your research. Also thanks for the handy tip of carrying crossbows for kiting slow enemies I kinda thought crossbows were kinda worthless.
only 50 hours in, day 99. got a 6 man squad with beep, infinite wingwang, rane, kang, dr chungus. got some vital stats up to the 50 - 60 range for most but still feel weak as hell. I'm another 25 hours away from advanced science anything. top video
Get more squad members at this point. You got a solder squad. Now get farmers and crafters(you may need some mercnaires to build your first base, or just get some place in a city). You want masterwork gear for everyone which isnt that hard if you get someone early game constantly training the smithing skills.
Hello again ;) The hunt continues, been in some rather scary locations with a 7 man team. Usually had to camp multiple times to heal lol.... The grid...... running into a beak nest. Killed them all, 20 eggs. And just kept getting raided on the way back home lol. Engineering research is the goal, bigger walls :) The hunt continues 😎
Get someone set up close to Black Desert City to get regulars restocks of masterwork cybernetics. Craft your masterwork armor and watch as damage does nothing to you lol.
Thank you man, fior this turorial and for your other vids! I am so hooked to this game, I've been playing it for about a monht already and I just got into the more advanced stuff in it. Your videos are well made,I like your voice, your editind is just enough, it's not too much, and it's informative,, and gives you all the info you need. In other vids - in more details, in this, in just enough. And I see you have only 201 subs, so I'm the 202nd I guess, but your content is 10.10, obv work of love & passion! That's why I enjoy yo7r things so much, and I had to sub like a week ago, after the 1st vid of yours I watched, to show you my appreciation to what you do, in a way I can (without having to write long comments, which, i gues, is the 3rd way to do it, besides watching you & sub.. Oh, right, I'll start leaving 'a like" too, from now on!;) Thanbks for these vids mate, again! Be happy and live long!XD
You can also get some easy ancient science books at the "Suspicious lab" (4:22)... they dont always spawn but its basically no real risk involved if you just get the loot on the bottom floor... also when you are in the building check every floor before you proceed and dont just walk up the stairs like my dumbass XD I would say you need atleast level 21 to be able to unlock everything... 5% for level 65 locks iirc The ancient lab you showed was the first one I explored and I got mauled by spiderbots because the water slowed my squad down... and I just had Nodachi and some crossbows lol Sneaking at night is probably easier than fighting If you want to compare how my equipment was: I had a 12 man squad (1x lvl 60, 2x lvl 50, 5x 40 to 30) and 4 crossbow man (all lvl 30) + an Elder Pack Bull... all have Specialist or High quality Drifters Armor and Catun 1 or 2 weapons (mostly Nodachi/Katana and 3 Planks) and a few Mk and Masterwork equipment I found
Tbh if your athletics skill is high you can just run around the lab and loot every unlocked crate, spiders won't be able to hit you because their movement speed is 11 mph (I think 30 athletics will do) but you won't be able to unlock locked crates either.
Ancient Tech Labs have 3-4 AI Cores each in them. Ive only found 2 on the map so far one west of the cannabal zone in the Iron Trail and one in Shun. Lost Libraries can have maps to those locations.
This is helpful. I'm a noob, on my 1st play in Kenshi, I established myself in Sho-Buttai and researched pretty much everything that only uses regular books. Now I need ancient ones, so I can build myself a weapon smith 2, to make awesome weapons. I got a 70 weaponsmith and a 85 armorsmith. Question: will a solo character with 45 STR, 20 DEX, 37 TOU, melee attack 30, wearing mostly masterwork items be sufficient to make it up there ?
@@Orange01gaming I just got to World's End for the first time. I managed to nab 2 ancient research from the Mechanic Shop. I also found weapon schematics for katana, guardless katana and nodachi. So much better for the weaponsmith to grind on, 10 hours to make a katana, instead of 2h for some sabres. Probably gonna recruit a dude and have him permanently sit here to look daily for ancient research.
@@Zamolxes77 I think those dont respawn. Need to go to ruins or other store that might have it. I'd recommend that you go to Black Desert city or go to the ancient science labs up there. There's a good one in obedience.
I got Beep just for running around the map looting stuff. My Beep runs at 30 kmh and can sneak like a boss. I stopped buying normal research book cause he can just take em for free at night. Also Building stuff... and weapons... also food xD
@@Orange01gaming I especially love that of all my characters Beep became the lone ranger that pretty much carrys the whole colony xD The former defective drone that was cast out from the hive. Wears the light ninja armor with one of these big straw hats like a certified badass. Weilds a heavy crossbow and a katana which he both can use very good. Got his arm chopped off by a swamp ninja and now has a skeleton one. Now he kills high level broken skeletons by himself with his crossbow before they reach him.
you can kite the blood spiders at that library to the nearby holy nation slave city and watch as hilarity ensues. that is if you're playing as a human so the paladins dont lock agro on you
Can some one give me an advice, i am new to the game , have 30h play time , i got about 20 people in my base that I built in the holy farm territory, i got 5 or 6 bests like they call them ( the holy nation) and the keep coming to my base when the see them , i was an idiot building my base next to the road. So I got enough food for everyone, but i nees ancient since books, and my characters are soo week I can’t go in a fight, what do i do?
@@alihabib5727 you need someone super fast. Get them to be able to stealth ko people. Bounties can be decent pay at that point in the game, and thievery is downright broken. You can buy or steal some in the city. There are also some ruins they can run to tto grab some, like in this video. Don't send many people. Have the rest defend, and send one on supply runs, and to hire mercenaries to defend. Or abandon the base for now and move back into a city. Buy a small house. Send some pioneers out once stronger.
@@Orange01gaming thank you for replying, i was considering to relocate, but I want to get tech lvl4 first, I expanded my base the other way away from the road, and i was able to loot some ancient sites and ruins, so i think i am doing good, but do the game progress by itself , like can one nation take over another without me interfering?

This game everything but having kids just started out and hired merks to protect my outpost it was pure carnage so pick up armour and they all attack me for being a spy
Yeah check out my tutorial on bounties and disguises, similiar to fallout new Vegas. Faction won't attack unless you are discovered. Faction members are likely to spot you, especially the higher level ones.

just got kenshi recently and your guides are the best
Thank you! I might start up a new lets play soon.
13:30 there's a chest at the end of the long side of the research bench on the floor you can also loot, very often overlooked.
Thanks for pointing out all these helpful tips! Glad to see someone else interested in helping out new players.
I've been in that scraphouse. Didn't even know it had an upstairs section :-((... Never even thought to look. I just assumed it was a dead end shed with nothing inside it. DOH*
Lol that is hilarious. One of the best places in game!
Flats Lagoon is perfect for buying ancient science books and engineering research
Yeah that and word end, and black desert city. Easy end game content.
You can also buy them at flats lagoon sometimes
Well I could.... Until the accident

If you have the map window open when you click the map, it will show you with a green square around it

Also thanks for the handy tip of carrying crossbows for kiting slow enemies I kinda thought crossbows were kinda worthless.
Yeah they are easily exploited. I forgot to mention but you could build a turret nearby and kite them to it due to infinite ammo.

For free money just get a good armor and weapon smith. Also very useful for your team.

Glad you find them useful and enjoyable! Kenshi is super deep so I am glad to help you out with the more advanced stuff!
The maps actually do give you a marker but only for the first time you press M after using them.
I've just gone on a trip hitting maybe 7-8 ruins locations, 4-5 being libraries and came back with about 6 advanced books.
Yeah, you got to know which ones to go to.
Wow so many tips and guide
Welcome! Yes there is plenty more. Are you new to Kenshi?
@@Orange01gaming yes
You can also get some easy ancient science books at the "Suspicious lab" (4:22)... they dont always spawn but its basically no real risk involved if you just get the loot on the bottom floor... also when you are in the building check every floor before you proceed and dont just walk up the stairs like my dumbass XD
I would say you need atleast level 21 to be able to unlock everything... 5% for level 65 locks iirc
The ancient lab you showed was the first one I explored and I got mauled by spiderbots because the water slowed my squad down... and I just had Nodachi and some crossbows lol
Sneaking at night is probably easier than fighting
If you want to compare how my equipment was: I had a 12 man squad (1x lvl 60, 2x lvl 50, 5x 40 to 30) and 4 crossbow man (all lvl 30) + an Elder Pack Bull... all have Specialist or High quality Drifters Armor and Catun 1 or 2 weapons (mostly Nodachi/Katana and 3 Planks) and a few Mk and Masterwork equipment I found
I think I had some misinformation on the items respawning... they only respawned because I imported my game due to a mod
Tbh if your athletics skill is high you can just run around the lab and loot every unlocked crate, spiders won't be able to hit you because their movement speed is 11 mph (I think 30 athletics will do) but you won't be able to unlock locked crates either.
True but all of the good stuff is in the safes.
Get both athletics and stealth sneak when ya can then yeet
Absolute legend been struggling to find an AI core for ages
Yeah I have only found them at bdc myself, but I haven't looted a ton of science labs since they changed how to calcuate the loot.
@@Orange01gaming I'm not sure if it works or not but does importing the game reset loot?
@@j2475 Yes it does
Ancient Tech Labs have 3-4 AI Cores each in them. Ive only found 2 on the map so far one west of the cannabal zone in the Iron Trail and one in Shun. Lost Libraries can have maps to those locations.
@@Ssaknurd Interesting... Sounds like a much better version of a Ancient Lab. Was it swarming with enemies?
Quick question, do these ancient labs respawn items / bots etc? Or is it loot once.
Loot once for locations. Random spawns respawn.

Not without a crossbow. Your gonna want either a bigger party or to cheese athletics and ranged attacks.
