Nice, only thing that would make this better is to have a 100 stat queen governing them with litterly 0 limbs or she just does nothing but sits there I was litterly just watching the one punch man series
Interesting experiment you're running, although I will say the reason that the hive species has three different subspecies is that they all fit relatively nicely into three different roles at their villages. Princes do the smart work, soldiers do the fighting, and drones do the labor. Using a colony only with drones will be a lot harder, because you'll have to fit them into roles they mechanically have debuffs in or don't excel at due to lower limb health. My hypothesis is that you'll start to see some of these difficulties come up in the playthrough, and some will be harder to overcome than others, but I've no doubt you'll make it entertaining. Good luck!
@@shadoeboi212 Ah, alright. I haven't seen much of Kenshi's more RTS-oriented features, so I wasn't sure. Though, looking at the next video it didn't seem to make a difference for Ambiguous. If anything, the AI was so confused by his haphazard wall orientations they just sort of stood there outside the walls.
@@majormajorasic You wouldn't want 20 slots anyway. Characters have a hard time finding room to attack with 5 swings coming at them. 20 would be super unbalanced, lmao.
I'm really glad you're back. You're one of my favorite content creators. I do especially love the Kenshi videos, but pretty much everything you've got is solid, my dude.
Those moments when the entire damn hive was just running in circles around the based, panicked to the core, running away from any and all fauna that strode by - all those scenes missed the Yakety Sax (Benny Hill chase theme) soundtrack.
You don't have to rebuild your houses if your characters get stuck, you can just pick them up with someone else. While you can build sth like the great wall of china or a copper exclave you have to be careful with it; the game can detect your copper operation as a second village if it's faar enough away and will send twice as many raids your way. Great Video man, nice to see you back :)
It's all kinds of fantastic to come back to these months later and remember them as the learning exercise they were. We can see from this specific series the importance of real walls, turret research, and kiting extremely dangerous things away from town.
This has inspired me to finally give ol Kenshi a try. Your style of play in all your games is marvelous, love your content and I just found it one day ago. I am hooked
I really love your interaction with your community aswell as your realism Aswell as other things, I really appreciate it and enjoy watching your content ❤
It's fascinating how much you can do in kenshi - from being just a crawling dude with no arms or legs(only those who watched torso experience will remember) to building your own colony with a 100 hive drones
@@ambiguousamphibian Or just order someone to pick them up and drop them elsewhere. Picking up people works through objects and walls (you might have to position them nearby first since they might not be able to pathfind their way to the target).
There's a setting, I think called "Attack Slots" which determines how many characters are allowed to be in combat with another character at once. I think it defaults to 2, for this kinda thing you probably want to uncap it if you haven't already.
I haven't played Kenshi for a while, but last I did I went around and collected all of the unique characters (like Beep and the robot you can find in the swamp) and I would do just what you are doing now. It did become more like an RTS, but it was interesting because there are only so many unique characters (well there were, this was back when only half the map was released) so you have to be careful about how you allocate your people around the camp. I loved building big bases, making too much food, eventually smithing all of the best weapons and armor and then turning my entire group into bad asses.
I wonder if amphibian realizes that armor king is likely to be in kenshi 2. King says in a dialogue that he's been in business for like 957 years, and kenshi 2 is set 1000 years before kenshi, so I'd say its likely he could even have a story arc, or be a recruitable character
I was skeptical of the idea at first, but I'm a believer now. It would be kinda cool to see a tamed animal guard group to do the fighting for the hive. A garru, a couple of bonedogs, and maybe a beak thing or 4 could be pretty useful.
I feel like every time a kenshi series starts its a matter of if the game wants to screw you up in the beginning or if it wants to see how much you can accomplish before your character dies
"We're trying to deflect all of the nature that comes this way"- either a man building a base in Kenshi or a man in Alaska trying to bear proof his house.
Imagine how cool it would be if they all hade the custom Beep dialogues. They would randomly say "beep" while working. And when killing something would scream they are the strongest xD
I hope you will do a reboot of some of your kenshi scenarios, they have some untapped potential. would love to see these challenges being given a more experienced effort.
If you get people trapped like that you can sometimes get another dude to pick them up and put them down on the other side of whatever obstacle they're stuck in.
4:15 Something I do in RimWorld, is self-supplying workers. Kenshi Farms need water. So I set the Farmers up to work the wells as priority after the farming. If they lack water to plant, they will go and get some. And they continue pumping until the storage is full, once all farms are finished. Similarily, deditected engineers will work stuff that makes their raw material.
8:00 You know, you can toggle jobs off, right? That will keep the list, but they will not try to move to the nodes. And later you just turn it back on. No need to "juggle" your horde. IIRC, hte only excluded jobs were stuff like Bandaging and Splinting.
9:10 one way to unstuck people without scrapping buildings, is trying to pick them up. Unfortuantely people getting "pushed" into invalid spots, is a particular danger of the that pathfinding and physics approach.
When your guys get stuck, you can save (with an open space in the middle of your screen) and reload the save with "reset squad positions" checked; the game will then respawn all your characters at the spot where you made that save.
