Items might have different life durability depending on how far the blue bar went up during the crafting. So my theory is that the higher the blue bar went when the item was crafted the more life durability it will have.

How does dmg get applied by weapons? What does 1.50 cutting dmg and 1.28 blunt dmg mean? How do these translate to a dmg value applied to a body part?

I see a bit of an issue with your hypothesis : you are neglecting the speed of the weapon. Saying a 2-hander is better because it only takes 20 hits to kill rather than the 30 of a 1-hander, is inaccurate. The hits/second of the 1-hander is higher than that of the 2-hander. Also, just adding Health+Stamina as one pool, is also inaccurate because they are 2 pools that can be depleted individually, especially since depleting the Health pool means you are down, even if your Stamina Pool is full. The other issue with the 2-hand sword, for example, is that because hitting with it is so slow, you often don't have enough time to block because your a fast hitting enemy can hit faster than you can swipe then block, while with a 1-hander you are able to, so you tend to take more damage with the 2-hander because of missed blocks, compared to how you can get blocks in reliably with a fast 1-hander+shield. I think it would be great if you could add time to your calculations and actual successful blocks, to see what the true picture is.

Thank you for finally clearing up the mystery of armour and how it works. Though I still had to rewatch a few parts, especially the cut resistance part. I always thought the percentage chance on the armour was the chance to NOT get hit, which I always assumed was the wrong understanding since it would make armour staking obsolete.

DUDE! Great work 🔥 You really nailed it!

It's the same with Shields. Using any shield to block, stun bash brown or Gray bears destroys the shield after half a dozen bears.

will enemies select the most damaged body part or was it soley based on that wiki info of per chance for that part to be hit

Awesome video man, appreciate these easy to consume info bits on kenshi, very very helpful man kkep it up cheers x

hey bro love the video, almost fell for writing a comment on critisi without watching the full video which seems to be whats going on a lot on these comments, really appreciate the video what a helpful guide man, love new ideas to play

Solo is the worst and most boring thing you can do in Kenshi. By doing all the cheats and cheese and ignoring the tech tree, you are missing out the most enjoyable part of the game. It is everyone's dream to build the biggest and baddest army in Kenshi and play it like Mount and Blade.

i think it would be worth it to test how this relates to the amount you block for, i have a feeling that the block after attack actually blocks a lot more damage coming through and that may be taking it off the durability of the weapon/shield instead of your health/stamina. this is only based off circumstantial experience for me, i haven't tested it yet, but makes sense based on what i've seen.

It’s almost as bad as the lack of weather system and combat. Soulmask is an early access twice as cheap that has both.

Good video with lots of info. But the benefit of the shield in my opinion is Shield slam Stun/Taunting, also in some cases in dungeons bosses will absolutely destroy your blocking weapon in like 2-3 hits. Id rather lose a shield than a important weapon. Making it still the superior tanking option imo

WHAT? I CAN NOT HEAR YOU

I have yet to find a viable reason to use the shop counter. Maybe if I own property in a town and have food/meds looted that I want to sell since it's usually barely anything anyways and they pay the value price.

Is someone talking

only thing i trade is hashish.

tf did you do to your mic to make it sound like this xD

You could pull Tora the Fearless into the waystation nearby. Let the guards take her down and claim the bounty. 10k within 10 minutes. Or get a traders backpack and 2k. Get some (non hiver) mercenaries and go find a beakthing nest. These methodes carry some risk especially the 2nd one but it got me to 130k in 5 days without sneaking and stealing

Reading these comments it seems people are confused on how these works, Im honestly suprised maybe I just play to many games

i found a great white gorillo in mourn and i keep it in a small shack for emergencies. the ai doesnt know how to enter buildings so you have to bait it back there with tricky movement

If you recruit 10 NPCS in the first 2 days, you can easily earn 30k everyday in the first week without doing anything, but AUTOMATED mining. AND you will have time to train a couple of them lockpicking, stealth, and assassination in the first few days while others are mining AUTOMATICALLY without much micromanagement. LOL AND the more they mine, the faster they mine and the more money they earn WITHOUT all the micromanagement. A large team of miners can earn 100 to 200k everyday after day 30. Trading is HARD money. AND you don't gain any experience over time, except for athletics. You can train athletics and strength by setting up a good "mining practice". The price differences in different cities are tiny AND you have to waste time traveling. Totally inefficient. The ultimate problem of trading is, only a few large cities, like Squin, can afford to buy over 100k cats of goods everyday. With such a low profit margin, you will have to run around like crazy to earn more than 50k cats daily. That's just a tiny amount of money for my team. LOL

Epic Video like always !

Never ever say you are not that smart!!! You are a fucking chad who can read and do a bit of testing.

Maybe the devs thought people might build shops in every major city eventually during end game, and then get passive income until you need to restock the items. But it seems like if you put crafting stations for medical/food inside of a building you buy in every single city, with storages to hold the excess, then the passive income would be greater. You could build farms outside the city for the shopkeep to maintain, to help keep the supply going? Just started playing Kenshi about 2 months ago though, and it’s so complex that I’m sure I’m incorrect to some degree of how time consuming/easy this would be. My guys are finally starting to become “chads” though and don’t get killed by hungry bandits anymore so that’s pretty awesome!

7 years ago. Just happened to come across this video in my recommended. Hope things are going well

Question…if im like in village which is kinda in the middle of nowhere, theres a chance some group of people or a guy visiting my village and a chance to visit my shop?

There's a mod for animal husbandry

Easiest is to put stuff like weapons and armors in specific containers to remove the stolen tag. And as for selling, high prices seem to not sell, see go for bulk of cheap stuff. You won't get really rich, but its fun. I made a Public town in Shem, making and selling rum. And it attracts a Lot of techhunters that buy, start patrolling etc. imwas allied i think. But it really filled the town in waves. fun stuff:-)

Good info, thanks! I figured the hub would be too poor to do well there. I haven't been able to test it yet, but i downloaded the improved shopping economy mod, so eventually I'll try to get a decent base and set up a shop counter to try it out.

What's wrong with mining? It is easy money without paying much attention while you can watch CZcams videos at the same time. Then you can recruit over 18 NPCs in 10 days in 3 major cities, just by mining. LOL

Why no mining? I have a crew of 18 on Day 10 simply by mining in 3 major cities and recruiting everyone that I encounter. Mining is the ONLY way to build up a large team early on in this game. Cooper = money = more crew members. LOL

Damn I forging weapons for nothing lmao , need to install some mods really want roll play as businessman entrepreneur 😢

Games like Fallout, Kenshi, CDDA and Project Zomboid only realy shine when modded.

When you capture the UC Slave masters some towns start to starve. I smell profit 👀

one thing i noticed is that when you train the pups, in combat etc, they end up with higher stats when reaching elder. there is some multiplier when they are young making smaller stats. it just takes a while. Took put bonedogs on hunting around, need constant healing of course, but when elder..... oh boy, they are strong

I made a Bonedog 'town' once. and then after a time add like 5 elders to my team to hunt. Scary stuff. Bit tricky when 7 pupsgo 'playing limbs' and run all over the map😂

Buying a house costs you a couple of thousand cats. You will only buy a property for production, not for selling stuff. You can sell all your junk in a normal shop and you need athletic training to move around anyway. Just set up a base very close to a big city and you can buy and sell things easily.

Another thing to note is that there are in fact stat differences in animals based on their tag when buying them and I discovered this from buying different bulls over the course of a game and noticing their stats varied dramatically even if they were the same age with comparable skill values: Domesticated Bull had significant, 13mph move speed difference VS a Pack Bull, with both having 50ish Athletics values. (Domesticated had a run speed of 27 mph, and the Back Bull topped out at 14 mph regardless of what he was carrying). Pack Bull had significantly higher max carry capacity even though (max carry of 67) versus the Domesticated Bull with the same Bull Backpack on with only 1 STR difference had a max capacity of 46. Both bulls were Elder 110s, purchased together at the same time just had different tags (Domesticated/Pack).

Question. Do raiders always try enter through the main gate? Because in my base they just gank through any wall. If so, is there a way to direct which gate or wall they might choose to go through

Man, I am still trying to figure out how to tell my bull to guard, or put what in his inventory. :/

wow very hard and difficult way to make money from animal products...or you can simply build an outpost in the leviathan coast which is hugely fertile and the leviathans trample dozens of garru and beak things everywhere and endlessly respawning and trampling them...simply gather,and make your food there.Zero inital outlay in having to purchase any animals.

it would be cool to repair the holy nation base

can't hear anything

this is so quiet

Im sure some npc can buy weapons because some times they only have a secondary or a primary but not the other

My brother you are a godsend to helping me find things that I missed! As soon as you get the money get a mike worthy of your knowledge! I suffered thru the same, my best video has the worst audio lmao!

If you tie in the knowledge of your shop counter video you can probably get a lot more from the food since you'd get the full value not the sell value. I'm wondering how good setting up a shop in the boneyard in Catun would be, as you can automate a shop for the town as there is a long house there close to the gate. Set up a partially afk animal gathering worker then have others automate the cooking/production of leather to sell at the counter. Just check back in from time to time while you've another group off doing more involved things. The town is well guarded so for the most part you should be protected. Just make sure the gatherer is someone you don't mind losing if they go out at the wrong time.

Yo

I put this video on once while trying to fall asleep and boy howdy did it work. This was an accident, by the way, I was trying to wind down, not completely pass out. Good information nonetheless.
