The toxic rain kills bonedogs. The death fog hurts anything organic. Cooking adds muscle tone to shecks and humans that rank it. The sun beams are a old weapon catlon used to kill people en mass and the one that's still going was used to destroy the control center and marked the end of his empire. The sniper zone near the Ashlands are managed by skeletons that worked for catlon. There's still thousands of little tidbits of tips and lore nuggets to go over. Hivers can eat limbs and teeth for nutrition. There's flying robots all over kenchi where robots are common. There's a planet in orbit you can see at night that is hinted as to where the humans came from. I can't recommend enough the mod that makes the giant robot arms move enough. Really makes that region between rebirth and Mongrel creepy. There's also the massive ships that are broken in the water around the coasts and the lagoon. This game needs a book written about it. Has all of the great bases that battle tech and warhammer have. This is the biggest example of a diamond in the rough iv ever had the joy to learn about. Then there's the crab bandits and the failed UC towns near where the robot spider factory is. God I love kenchi
I just gotta say. The world and depth to the world that Chris Hunt made is incredible. It has nuisances and complexity yet leaves enough of a “sandbox” feel in the overall lore to build your own world if you wanted. Nothing is set in stone lorewise so you can customize the experience to your liking.
@@wiwysova you go around and there are rumours, ambiguities and environmental storytelling clues all over the place. The lore is a very unique mix of things, the moon of Kenshi itself is beautiful, there are layers to the lore and characters, the atmosphere is great. I've interacted with many settings and books, from mythology and literature classics to pulp, I think Kenshi indeed has depth. It's really cool.
I was inspired to play Kenshi after watching General Sam and about 100 hours in, I've just about gotten the hold of getting my character to survive more than 30 IRL minutes.
Should look into some of the lore. Like how one of the giant robots stopped a nuke from going off in Okrans run I believe. His body is still there. Overlooking the green valley as his systems shut down from body blocking the explosion.
Yeah, Stobe. Croc showed him in the video when talking about the behemoths thought I believe he sacrificed himself either in Stobe's Garden or in Stobe's Gamble and then dragged himself to the Garden before succumbing to his wounds
Corrections, clarifications or adding stuff to the facts. 22 - It's Skinners Roam not Skimmers Roam hah. 55 - Although they have a healrate of 2 (Or 3 for the subraces like Soldierbot, Screamer, PK etc...) this does not mean that they heal twice as fast as a Greenlander with a healrate of 1. Healrate is basically percent of max hp healed over an amount of time. For instance if you zoom in and look down (So no lag) over 22 minutes game time a Greenlander will heal 1 stun (Blunt) damage. Assuming the Skeleton has no wear damage (Max hp reduced) they will heal 4 stun damage in that amount of time as they have 200 health. Or if the skeleton is Agnu (Soldierbot) 6 health. 59 - I think it's a bit of a Futurama reference. (Headcannon) 61 - The King in the raid is a severely nerfed version of King. His age is between 0.9 to 1.0 in the raid. 64 - Honestly the talking part could actually be seen as a weakness. It would allow you to see them from further away and to know when to hide :) (Opinion) 66 - Fun tip you can carry a limb in your inventory to drop if attacked by Bonedogs. The group will usually run after their buddy who grabbed it provided you aren't attacking them and you'll be ignored. 68 - Just to add Leviathans have the same damage formula as many animals in the game however they have their own custom stat preset which includes 75 Martial Arts. Most other animals have their 10% of their combat stats assigned to Martial Arts... As all animals damage scales based off Martial Arts and Dexterity this makes them incredibly dangerous. Unless I am forgetting a weapon... Their large size prevents most attack animations from being used so you only can use heavy downcut v2 (Overhead swing) which leaves you more open in my experience. 70 - Unwanted zone as well! 80 - Ehh Tinfist is the most dangerous bounty honestly. 93 - I lost that speedrun :( I had a run that was on track to take #4 on the final leaderboards but the bridge did not work on my way out so my character started to swim and killed the run... I am still sad about that. Loved this video. Definitely got a like from me! I learned a lot of Kenshi 2 stuff so thanks for that!
A little addendum to #30: It is implied that the cannibals weren't originally from this continent, but came from a different continent up north. The original human inhabitants of the North-West were instead almost killed off by the cannibal invaders after the collapse of the Second Empire. Another possibility is that they degenerated through exposure to dangerous chemicals and turned into the cannibals. Also, I don't think the Hivers came around after Cat-Lon's Second Empire. I'm pretty sure they were bioengineered BY the Second Empire to act as cheap labour.
Fact 22 is incorrect. The location is called “skinners roam” not “skimmers roam”. This is not a hate comment. This is just a observation. Amazing video.
3:50 the c makes a "ch" sound, sounds more like "chellos" not "sellos". Not tryna bust your balls, just helping out as someone learning a new language and trying to get pronunciation down 😉
Yo watching ma man Jujalag being mentioned in anything related to kenshi brings me so much joy, he loved the game and shared that love with many others (me included) without knowing it would become the favorite game of a lot of us, great vid buddy, love your content!
@@CoolKidCroc Ei cara acho que você vai gostar de saber que oque define Kenshi é uma potencial tecnologia chamada (Biokinessis) que o próprio Savant usa como arma!e que a própria natureza de kenshi prova ser real com os leviatans!
Modern computers still struggle with Kenshi, I can't imagine how bad it was in 2013. SSDs of any reasonable size were nigh on unaffordable at that time, and playing on an HDD would be complete hell.
The game being made and funded mostly by one dude makes me respect it just that much more. Also, Kenshi 2 on a newer, better engine and with modern optimization will be awesome. I totally get why it does the loading pauses and stutters like it does, OGRE is an absolutely ancient engine (it's from around 2005) and 870 km² is absolutely nuts for a map size, especially for a static hand-made map, but while even high end PCs from 2005-2013 would likely struggle severely with Kenshi, most medium-end to high-end modern PCs should be able to run the game far better than they can. Still, mad respect to Chris for taking on a project this ridiculous by himself.
man, what a good video. Jujalag was the creator I discovered kenshi with, I did not expect him to show up on a video about facts. Now im in love with kenshi and here I am, pushing my self into the english community (because the english community is still way bigger than the spanish)
About fact 22, there's not skimmers because it isn't skimmers roam, the name is SKINNERS roam, it's controlled by the holy nation, just a mistake you made.
I played this for the first time last year (2022) and I fell in love just like so many others. I really hope chris just does the first thing but better in the second one. Keeping to the core of sandbox and freedom to do literally whatever you want.
I can play a good AAA game for dozens hours. I play Kenshi since 2018, for thousands hours, and the more i play the more i enjoy it. Game industry, please, learn from indies.
Im actually surprised that neither Berserk nor Star Wars were ever mentioned by Chris as inspirations for Kenshi considering how inspired Kenshi looks in its atmosphere, gritty nature and etc. I could notice that Kenshi's brutal nature, gritty and depressing atmosphere and focus on sword combat is really reminiscent of Berserk, while the setting itself could be compared to the planet Tatooine from Star Wars.
I can see the Berserk similarities, sure, but Star Wars? Not everything that includes a desert is based off goddamn Star Wars, and only the north-east part of Kenshi features a sandy desert in the first place.
@@SirZipper So you're saying *anything* that includes robots or "aliens" (despite the fact that no "known" aliens remain in Kenshi because all of them either left or have been here long enough not to be real aliens anymore, as far as we are told) is based on Star Wars? Is Fallout actually a Star Wars game? Is NieR: Automata actually a Star Wars game? Is literally any goddamn sci-fi story, such as The Foundation, which came out decades before Star Wars, now a Star Wars expanded universe story? What is your point?
@@beetheimmortal Why are you so butthurt on the topic? Maybe your knowledge of the sci-fi genre has more depth than other people, but individuals are only going to use comparisons which they are familiar with. If the game was more cartooney and OP had referenced Sponge Bob, would you have been like "Hurrdurr Scooby-Doo is older though."
How come its so rarely mentioned that crop failure and agricultural mismanagement by the skeletons of the second empire was one of the largest contributors to its downfall?
Not really a fact. more so a theory/observation. The war in Bast is fueling the Cannibal threat. The cannibal population is massive, more than their territory can support. Add in the Cannibal Capital, which was likely so isolated or recently captured that your characters initially believe it is still the city of Deadcat, and the fairly recent formation of the Cannibal Hunters. This seems to suggest that the cannibals had a massive population surge in recent decades which largely wiped out Deadcat as an organized faction. The question is, how. The Cannibals would have required an abundance of easily accessible food to sustain such growth; but the large number of scrawny cannibals suggest that this easy source is drying up. Right next to Cannibal territory you have the region of Bast, where armies constantly engage each other in battle and refugees/slaves/rebels are found in large numbers. An easy meal for the cannibals, especially in the early days as both sides suffered massive losses and most of the region's population were either killed, enslaved, or fled into the countryside to avoid the fighting. But now that the war is dying down, or at least not as intense as it was before, the Cannibals are having trouble sustaining their population. If the war ended, the cannibal population would diminish greatly, but neither side will agree to a truce. The player can end the war by destroying one of or both of the nation's fighting there, but that won't solve the problem as the Cannibals would use the resulting power vacuum to spread further.
Kenshi, Project Zomboid and Space Engineers are three games I hated at first, then gave them another chance 3 years later and now are my favorite games.
Chris really succeeded in capturing my fascination with Kenshi lore the same way Dark Souls did. Most recently I’ve become fascinated with the mystery of Stobe. Built an outpost near their corpse in my current game. I wonder if we’ll get more Stobe lore in Kenshi 2.
wow im surprised jujalag madebit in there, did you know that they will name a zone jujaland in kenshi 2? I think thats nifty as juja was the reason i started watching kenshi.
Kenshi has no loading screens* but you should always manually pause when the game is loading chunks. Because Chris made the mistake of not having the game autopause while loading, and thats why game saves often break and need importing. So, technically, it does have loading screens. Just self imposed ones.
This _"War of the Behemoths."_ No one seems to know what these giant skeletons were made to fight. Those pages in history are a blank. Or have been removed so know one can find the truth as to what actually happened. But something catastrophic did happen for these behemoth skeletons to be made to fight. _So it remains a complete mystery..._ *_Or does it?_* As I've been back in Kenshi, after a 4 year hiatus, and have been wandering around the map, I've started to become very curious as to why there are so many _HUGE_ skeletal remains of what used to be, very large megafauna. Of which nothing of these beasts has previously been mentioned by anyone. They were beasts so large, that they would put to shame the largest animal, as far as we know, that has ever lived on Earth. *The Blue Whale.* Maybe, just maybe, these giant man made behemoth Skeletons were made to subdue the sudden appearance of all the megafauna that were wreaking havoc on the population? Be they either carnivorous megafauna eating people and everything not fast enough. Or herbivorous megafauna that were eating all the human crops and thus, making the humans starve. But then it begs further questions. If the behemoth skeletons were made to fight this megafauna invasion, then where did this megafauna come from? But if the behemoths were not built to fight the megafauna, then why did all these megafauna just die? And if the behemoths were not fighting this megafauna but fighting something else, then what were they built to fight? *_Kenshi's starting to annoy me now. The more I learn about it, the more I want to know about it. And the learn I learn about it, the more unanswered questions I have about it._*
Now, I Haven’t seen the whole video yet, but I feel like this video turned into a lore video suddenly, even if I appreciate the lore (which I do),I still do feel like the video’s topic changed during the video.
In addition to that, the Kenshi 2 ”facts” weren’t really *Kenshi* facts, though one could debate on the language and it’s definitions, It is still misleading
@@CoolKidCroc It's the second in the series. Played the 2nd for for over 50 hrs. Would love to see A Multiplayer video. The first one is more story oriented though if you want inspiration for the second and possible content.
My first small mod adds a few recipes. among them are People pies. and yes, those are Exactly what you think they are, and yes they are being bought by other people in town 😂😂😂 Kenshi is absolutely fantastic.
How do you record clean footage without the ui in the way on kenshi ?? Great videos !! I’m just getting started on learning how to make footage like this and I thought kenshi would be the best game to play around with and learn from . Any advice would be Huge ! Also I’m clicking that subscribe button now
Well, these are certainly facts about the game... Facts you could read right off the wikipedia article. Probably presented in the order one might read them off the wikipedia article. Maybe that changes after the five minute mark, but I'm not sticking around to find out whether or not I'm wasting my time here.
I'm surprised there aren't more hero character mods. I see Master Chief, but what about the T-100 or the Predator? He could have a spinal tap finishing move, aka trophies. I'm no modder but...come on. Get creative, it's Kenshi!

Just a quickie about the game play in the background.
What was that large, dual-weapon wielding skeleton you had running with your crew?
@@thezanzibarbarian5729 The Mod is called Old Ironsides. It adds a new start where you start with one and there are unique ones.
games come and go but kenshi stays installed on my computer
O kenshi me lembra muito aquela tecnologia chamada (Biokinessis) hahaha lembra Pinóquio também!
It's definitely on my list of games I cycle through on a ling term rotation.

One minor gripe when using Mad Max as a reference image you used Fury Road which haven't came out until after the game was released
Kenshi, Project Zomboid and Space Engineers are three games I hated at first, then gave them another chance 3 years later and now are my favorite games.
there is a mod that adds back in talking beak things and its great!
Over a decade in development and the skeleton beds in World's End still don't work
Not many games like Kenshi. It does remind me of The Guild tho.
I think the Okranites probably hunted them out of skimmers roam but the Names stuck.

As I've been back in Kenshi, after a 4 year hiatus, and have been wandering around the map, I've started to become very curious as to why there are so many _HUGE_ skeletal remains of what used to be, very large megafauna. Of which nothing of these beasts has previously been mentioned by anyone.
They were beasts so large, that they would put to shame the largest animal, as far as we know, that has ever lived on Earth. *The Blue Whale.*
Maybe, just maybe, these giant man made behemoth Skeletons were made to subdue the sudden appearance of all the megafauna that were wreaking havoc on the population? Be they either carnivorous megafauna eating people and everything not fast enough. Or herbivorous megafauna that were eating all the human crops and thus, making the humans starve.
But then it begs further questions.
If the behemoth skeletons were made to fight this megafauna invasion, then where did this megafauna come from?
But if the behemoths were not built to fight the megafauna, then why did all these megafauna just die?
And if the behemoths were not fighting this megafauna but fighting something else, then what were they built to fight?
*_Kenshi's starting to annoy me now. The more I learn about it, the more I want to know about it. And the learn I learn about it, the more unanswered questions I have about it._*
I’m a bit confused. I saw lord vid that said shek were genetically engineered by the second empire
All hail Beep! !
Messiah of the desperate!
King of kings!
Destroyer of worlds!
All hail Beep! !
cant wait to visit cloud district in Kenshi 2
Holy fuck. El Juja was mentioned in the video haha
Always check you Kenshi content man. Hope things have improved since the fire mate
love this video dude. kudos
#72 the game seems to imply that The Hub at some point was part of the Shek homeland whether or not city existed when it was I am not sure though
Do you have a mod list available? I'd like to see more of your setup in this video.
This video was cool thanks ^-^
I mean this in the best possible way but you have a burger king foot lettus vibe with your count down. :)
Now, I Haven’t seen the whole video yet, but I feel like this video turned into a lore video suddenly, even if I appreciate the lore (which I do),I still do feel like the video’s topic changed during the video.
In addition to that, the Kenshi 2 ”facts” weren’t really *Kenshi* facts, though one could debate on the language and it’s definitions, It is still misleading
Isn´t it Skinners Roam, not Skimmers?
Any plans for survivalist Invisible Strain again?
Possibly yes, it’s a good one off game and I’d love to revisit it!
@@CoolKidCroc It's the second in the series.
Played the 2nd for for over 50 hrs. Would love to see A Multiplayer video.
The first one is more story oriented though if you want inspiration for the second and possible content.
Loved the video man i hope you and your son are doing better
NEW UPLOADDDD
you did not just call a cello a sello
this must have taken a lot of time, thanks
Bro this video might as well be renamed to "the lore of Kenshi" because most of these facts are just game lore.
Hold up!
Is that the GTA SanAndreas opening song?
15:30
Awesome video, you pronounced sentient wrong tho baby but it's okay
Lol, it's not "skimmer's roam", it's SKINNER's roam 😅

source of this picture? I'm having a Deja Vu.
Sobek approves
we need the 202
He must have made a killing. Selling millions of copies with almost no employees outside of a few people helping him here and their.
My first small mod adds a few recipes. among them are People pies. and yes, those are Exactly what you think they are, and yes they are being bought by other people in town 😂😂😂
Kenshi is absolutely fantastic.
So basicaly, you're telling me, that Beep is technicaly the father of all sentient beings in Kenshi?
JUJALAG MENTIONEED, DALE MANIN
nice!!
How do you record clean footage without the ui in the way on kenshi ??
Great videos !! I’m just getting started on learning how to make footage like this and I thought kenshi would be the best game to play around with and learn from . Any advice would be Huge ! Also I’m clicking that subscribe button now
F7 I believe hides the hud, thank you my bro I try my best!
Except the game pauses and just says it's loading above the character lol
1mil users and only 3m h played. That is kinda small
Well, these are certainly facts about the game... Facts you could read right off the wikipedia article. Probably presented in the order one might read them off the wikipedia article.
Maybe that changes after the five minute mark, but I'm not sticking around to find out whether or not I'm wasting my time here.
Great vid.
Did you really just call a cello a sello? XD
The game itself is one big loading screen
Wooooo🎉
anyone know what mod is being used for the big cool robat at 37:48
Ironsides mod homie
@@CoolKidCroc thank you

Auto Captions thinks you are Cook a Croc. AI coming for you!
how to know if youtuber is american.
hint: gun mod in a sword fighting game 🤣
I'm surprised there aren't more hero character mods. I see Master Chief, but what about the T-100 or the Predator? He could have a spinal tap finishing move, aka trophies.
I'm no modder but...come on. Get creative, it's Kenshi!
