Dude ive used the plateau for bases for like my last 10 play throughs. I always call the town, "The rock". My favorite location, period. I love how many factions raid you, it's proximity to all the end game locations. I will say, may be best to get your research and stats up before moving out here. Maybe even remove some faction leaders like, Savant and Vallamon to clean up the area before building. But hands down favorite my spot. Got enough challenge to make it fun, and leveling characters is quick. Decent wind but I just went to biofuel generators to limit the area load lag. You can get a decent kill box if you try a bit harder to make your walls fit. I got a lot of research done before moving out so I built all out-post type ** buildings so it feels like a real city with like 6 buildings. Some of my merc's glitched an now never leave my base, permanent guards lol. P.s. early game strat to keep enemies off your back, building double gates or solid walls with no gates bugs the enemy path finding, and usually keeps you clear until you're ready to venture out again.

do you use mods??? , im new to the game and if yes please provide some modlist Danke!

Fantastic quick hitting guide. Thank you. Getting back into Vic 2 after being so disappointed with Vic 3!

Too quiet

Building a base in gut after gaining good rep with gutters has been the best base for me so far

Dude. You spend way too much time on this game if you have multiple saves of different gameplays.

im getting my head kicked in its hard to figure out how to train fast i want to play through with out mods but its rough

Slipped to the end for the best base and saw everyone else had too... 😅

eyyyyyy, its also where I built it! but I built at the foot of the hill and walled myself up along the river. it has like 100% of every fertility there

how did you get so much skeletons im currently on a skeleton only run and cant find any to recruit

Watching this so I can pretend to understand it for a guy

Linked vid is private 😢

What happened to this channel? These videos are so high quality.

What happened to this channel? These videos are great!

I love this game. Playing like crazy every night.

The 'slopeless' mod makes flat areas like this not as important, but I think that didn't exist at the time. I believe this may have been a spot for the devs to put a city but they never did? So it's just ripe for the players now. Whenever I play Kenshi I always make a character after myself and he is like the king in the castle, does nothing and doesn't fight and everyone keeps him safe. I would love to have a safe base like this... maybe next playthrough.

Don't bother clicking the link to the Nerd Commando video in the description. It is private. Good video, nonetheless.

"Selling drugs is great"

I know this is a old video, but like to say thank you for last base, it was exactly what i was looking for... i am 100 crab raiders. XD Reavers hate me. So do Rebel Farmers for some reason. But yea i made double wall at front with inside between the walls i setup a bar, that is also shop counter, so when i get raided by "Great Rich Man" they go into the bar and buy stuff from the shop. ;p got couple windmills, and towers. Using one Tower as Wheat/Bread/Booze. Also got big building dedicated to just makeing Sake. So we set on Food/Booze. ;p Than got main HQ building as Training/Storage facility ran like a Dojo.

Nerd Commando's video is no more available. Yes I know, it's been 4 years this video came out, but I just got to the point that I try to play this game. The first 10 hours is awful btw.

I enjoy the last place you found.

You can fix that plateau area with cntrl shift f11. The base location at the end of the video. You just move your cursor over the area and press it a few times. Usually after every load up ive had to do that

This is clickbait! Your thumbnail didn't appear in the actual video

So you say you need minimum 10 to defend a very defensible base against all assaults. How will you feed all those ppl if you are temporarily camping in a town while you research your techs to know how to build the home base? Food is the scarcest resource in the game. I can barely keep 1 member fed from the scraps for sale in bars and shops. Hunting animals? Scavenging hive battles with beakthings? Farming isn't an option without a base to protect it. Seems like a catch22.

the Nerd Commando vid link appears to be "Private".

Imma just say Wend skeletons

Hello ! Just so you know : the video about classes in your description doesn't work anymore. Thank you for sharing !

I have no idea how to play it!

I found that the best location for a base, if you want to build mostly farms, is somewhere on the edge of Gut. If you build walls first, the beak things might miss you, and if you build wide enough, you may even completely cut off some of their migration roots. Only people coming to your gates will be fairly weak slavers (including reavers) and traders. If you want to go industrial: get all the building materials and skeleton recruits you can get, and send them right to the Black desert. All of the iron and copper deposits are 200 quality for some reason, and the odd cloud ninja (maybe holy nation) raid shouldn't be a problem, because if they are left outside of your gates long enough they will just suffocate.

There's an actual mod that add felines to the game so i was actually curious

I was playing and ended up with the characters I actually liked as party members, and the ones I didn't followed some gnome thing. That was neat.

I’ve been enjoying making a base by the water. You make one of your entrances deep into the water and set up turrets along the way. Basically I keep an eye out for raiding parties and close up the gate in the front leaving the one in the water open. If you do it right they will decide to go for a swim to get to the open gate instead of busting down the one in front of them. Then it’s just shooting fish in a barrel. They can’t seem to swim fast enough and sometimes they get confused and swim in circles helping my turret guards get some training in. It does fail from time to time but mostly it works like a charm, especially when I was stuck with a large labor force and only 2 people really capable of fighting on even terms.

Perhaps not constantly move around, zoom in, zoom out etc..... making me sick.

I totally agree with the dex/str training mods point you made lol

got the game yesterday and am so confused. thanks for such a helpful and funny tutorial.

how’d you get so many skeletons on your skeleton play through? im doing the same thing but cant find any skeletons to recruit lmao

Im so glad I found a thorough simple guide to it, I've only played the Divinity series so kinda new to CRPGS - THANKS ALOT - CHEERS

I know I'm little bit late but would anyone mind telling me how get so many skeletons?

16:00

Killing beak things is honestly my hobbie at this point, day 27 and I'm at 150k cats.

I really don't judge people for using most mods as long as they're don't go against the vision of the game. I can imagine weight sets existing in this universe, recruiting prisoners, having 300 followers, etc.

My hive base was the best i ever made. Called it the free hive. Based in the acidic water islands east of the United cities. Hivers do not lose health swimming it. So when attacks come they are over half dead already when they reach the turrets. Quite a swim though. I wrecked the killgore attack. He Went down to the turrets immediately. The rest seconds later since they were pretty much dead already.

Too much blah blah blah....

Just put skeleton legs on the guys, 4 harpoon turrets and a level 3 gate will cream even paladins

everyone's favourite hiver is named beep. no exceptions.

Sounds madness but I would like a mod that makes the houses super expensive! Like 200k upwards. Like real life 😂 Then that would really make you grind! Lmao. Great vid btw.

I know this is 3 years later, but does anyone anywhere have any idea how to make the game not run like shit ? Haha … I have a very high end pc runs all triple A games great, but man, this game runs like an absolute potato.

Zero time stamps, 20min long video, so disappointing. All these Kenshi guide/tutorial/tips videos are mostly 30min-1hr long and contain zero concise information. So damn annoying. Just show us how and what to do if you are going to make videos like this.

Thanks, this helped a lot.

I just watched a whole minute of the video without realizing that Cats are the money of this game lol, I was so confused
