    To quickly start if you ever need help with runs just hmu! To add some stuff in the Skeleton Doc in Mongrel can be robbed and he'll even trade with you again ~5hrs later. The guards don't care and so long as you leave fast enough he won't attack you.
    You can build a Crossbow locker (Free research, Gear storage under CORE unlocks it) and it only costs 1 Iron Plate. Any item put inside a Crossbow locker (All items can be put inside funnily enough) lose the stolen tag allowing you to sell stuff back at full price! (Not including items which sell for less normally like food armour or robotic limbs) I use this trick in tedious runs like an Iron Stick/Iron Club/Staff runs. Runs where the run will be a grind so we just rush past the money gathering part of the run.
    Dude I love how you covered the trick! Fun fact if you have no legs and take off your arms you can steal without getting attacked by the cannibals as a Skeleton :) I actually did the Impossible Start Insane Edition (Plus) run on stream the other day and it's thanks to Cannibals being kinda chill with limbless Skeletons that makes the run possible.
    The thievery chance in Mongrel is always 100% for all shops when stolen from the doctor :) Even with 0 Thievery.
    You can swim as a Skeleton if you want and you'll go
    6.711mph in the water even when encumbered to speed it up a lil bit :)
    And yes KLR limbs are as I usually describe them... Overpriced paperweights. They are so bad but sell for a decent amount :)
    If you want to hit around 300k before day 4 with 100% success do Holy Nation Citizen (Start in Stack, if you get placed in Bad Teeth restart), lure bulls/dogs to town and sell their stuff to purchase traders wooden backpack and wooden sandals. Keep a corpse held and fill up on water at the well in town. Head to skinners roam (East). When you get next the the Holy Mines save and load the game. The corpse will despawn but you keep the 2x str xp for encumbered bonus. Take backpack off to get above 70% encumbrance. When at Skinners Roam aggro a 42 Starving bandit squad and then sneak to lose them. Then sneak behind them. Easy 1 - 85+ stealth in a few game hours. Then sneak to Narkos Trap (North east of Skinners Roam kinda) and when (Day 2) 23:00 comes around drop all the water, take off your backpack and clothes which will buff your stealth by 1.2x (Naked bonus) putting you to 100. Enter the lab section by unlocking the door. Unlock all containers and as you loot stuff put them in your backpack and take if back off right after. Grab a single pair of tools from a container to unlock the highest level container at the top. There are 4 ancient safes, position yourself behind them in the corner to hide. It will be day time by the time you leave. You should have ~18 to 19 str by this point so once the ancient safe at the top has below 60 shown you can "use strength" to break it the rest of the way. You can put any "stolen from security spider" items inside a safe and then back out to remove the "stolen from" bug from them. I suggest looting all 3 AI Cores, 2 engineering research, ancient science books, the map, CPU units, Repair kits, Robotic Components, Skeleton Muscles and Skeleton Eyes you find. Then just wait until it's safe to sneak out. If you really wanna be sneaky you can drop your bag on the walls in some parts and sneak out then pick it up on the other side. Or just R-Trick towards Blister Hill. Drop 3 AI cores (I keep them in my inventory) and any other illigal stuff you can't fit in your bag on the ground and take your bag off and enter blister hill. Sell any legal items there. Clothing store almost always has 25k. Armour store can have 25k too but less often. Then leave town, pick your bag back up and head to Mongrel. Sell the rest there. You should be able to run at full speed towards Mongrel. I do my runs as a Scorchlander because they are my favorite organic race and with sandals I have no issue outrunning fogmen even with 1 athletics. Sorry for the wall of text

      Stealy Dan used his pretzel logic, found himself in my old town, on Black Friday. He met Peg because she had the deacon blues, they drank some Cuervo Gold and he stole her bad sneakers. They were reeling in the years when they met Kid Charlemagne, who suggested that they do it again.

    Just so you know, the reason you were being caught is because the game puts a "committing crime" 3-second counter on you the instant after you commit thievery (and other crimes), and you need to stay undetected for those three seconds before it's okay for others to see you.
    Obviously, for something like kidnapping though, you want to avoid *ever* being seen until you've dumped your quarry.

    The reason you kept getting caught it because you need to stay unseen for 4 seconds after you are finished stealing, You can see the countdown on the left where it says comiting crime (x) where x is the number of seconds till you will no longer be caught.

    Negative stat modifiers is a good thing in Kenshi. It allows you to train that skill as if you were a actually a lower level, and as such you gain more exp per action.
    So to efficiently train your stats, you want negative modifiers, not positive ones.

    When you steal something, you get the 'committing crime' debuff for a few seconds. If you're spotted by a concerned faction while you have that on, that counts as being caught in the act.

    I just remembered the scene from the A-Team movie with Liam Neeson and Bradley Cooper. Face (Cooper) was talking to Sosa, his ex/person chasing him and the team down, and he asks “did you take my Steely Dan CD?”

    Skeletons are fun. I played as The Skeleton Crew, an all-skeleton party. I built a base on the outskirts of the Black Desert. That place has random poison gas clouds, so the only hostiles to speak of are roving bands of ninjas with severe lung damage.
    I rather enjoyed researching various technologies, and having to go on expeditions to find books in ruins. Apart from that, the Crew mostly kept to themselves (for a while), harvesting ore, making steel, and perfecting various crafting skills. After a while, I had a master weaponsmith and a master armorsmith.
    The base was surrounded by tall stone walls, its only entrance a crude killbox of sorts: A recessed corridor leading to the only gate, with the ramparts above on either side lined with crossbow turrets. Bands of very stupid ninjas would attack semi-regularly. Judging by the sound of all the flies buzzing around the piles of corpses, I'm sure that my wall sentinels were glad they had no sense of smell.

    Great video! Did you see the Black Cow, or go to the Caves of Altamira?
    Look at it this way, you exposed your younger viewers to the awesomeness of The Dan!

    "I am beginning to feel very old" it's worth it to know steely dan without having to look them up. a lot of things in the past weren't better, except for the music

    I have to say, your new editor has almost mastered your old editing style - it's noticeably different but still charming. I also love the new amphibian pixel art sprite you commissioned!

    Imagine you're a cannibal and some bony skeleboy shows up to your town and runs up to one of your storage chests, surrounded and hunted by warriors, touches it, you hear this weird flickering noise, and in the blink of an eye he becomes the greatest thief the world has ever known while barely getting a handful of bruises. I'd just go lay down in the desert tbh

    Dad brought me up on classic rock, punk, and psychedelic. Mom brought me up on 80s new wave. Step dad listened to classical music. Kids around me got me into hip hop. 28, i now go to raves. I have pretty wide range of music interests.

    "In the mornin' you go gunnin'
    For the man who stole your water.
    Then you fire til he is done in
    But they catch you at the border.
    And the mourners are all singin' as they drag you by your feet
    But the hangman isn't hangin'
    And they put you on the street, yeah.
    You go back, Jack, do it again.
    Wheel turnin' round and round
    You go back, Jack, do it again."

    On the title alone I just know this one is going to be an all time AA classic
    edit: You're not stealing things you're just the only one who could appreciate the finer things in life because they "wouldn't know a diamond if you held it in your hand"
