Get ready for the best or worst guide ever witnessed by man. If you have any tips advice, critiques or just plain insults they are welcome in the comments.
This is a very good guide. I have been hesitant to watch any for fear of ruining the experience of discovering better methods of training, moneymaking etc, or spoiling the location discoveries. This is a perfect 'set you on your way with some bearings' guide without taking away from the beginner experience. Nothing is worse than playing a new game with that friend who knows everything and trivializes all the struggle immediately. The struggle is the best part.
a random steam review for the game brought me here and without even getting halfway through I have laughed and learned quite a bit so thank you for the work you put into this video
This is like the most in depth guide ive ever seen for a beginner in kenshi. very nice, i personally mod in small stuff like starts or gear myself but it is very good advice to not use mods in the beginning.
ye, i personally kind of learn more then i ever want of a game by watching and can be hyper on control learning. so i jumped into mods mostly because like rimworld i knew what i wanted but also knew it would become a pile. naimly because i wanted a spacific skeleton favored but up a moutian with hostility like hated by 2 of the 3 big factions XD. as shure i could have token just a fat lazy greenlander in the HN turf start, group or solo but SCREW THAT. i know what i like and pain is the name of kenshi's first child, and im addicted to it. (given how many mods i often throw at rimworld its a god given i know pain because i love combat expanded)
tbf its an amazing pathway for noobs to follow regardless. It gets them comfortable with the basics of the game, which is the point. Yeah sure i could train stealth to 75 in under 3 minutes irl minutes, break into Narkos trap, and loot everything to make 100k plus with minimal effort, but a noob doesnt know how to do that, and tbh shouldnt know how to do that. They need to actually play the game and learn it instead of exploiting it like us old min maxing fucks. Kenshi is at its most fun when youre not trying to abuse the systems.
Damn Daniel, very cool. I personally like to setup a battle shack in Bast with a bed for my new boys to train in. Which is weird that I've never seen a CZcamsr recommend that area. The enemies are all upper-low to mid, so you train your skills a lot faster.
It's too late for me to finish this video tonight with work in the morning, but let me just tell you. You are an absolute GEM. Im about 4 hours into the bedrock bottom series, 5 minutes into this video, and have thoroughly enjoyed every minute I have spent here. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Thank you for a good time and a few laughs in a hard year.
Dude, I know I posted this on one of your earlier vids but please keep going! I also think the difference in views is all thumbnail and youtube algorithm BS. You are legit funnny and I think you have a personality that is built for YT/TWITCH. I was fucking howling throughout this video, and not many youtubers can do that. Fucking great vid dude.
I have 900 hours and I have never even thought of starting out like that. I literally just go start a fight with the bar thug. Take his shit, sell it. Leave the hub, try to Agro a bandit or squad, lose them, then just sneak behind them cuz sneaking near enemies that have have a red icon when u hover over it gives you stealth skill in absurd quantities. Go to squin at night, try to break in. Use thievery xp cheese to power level it. Take expensive shit. Then leave and sell it off at the hub. By day 2 you could possibly have level 50 stealth, level 50 thievery, and over 20,000 cats.
@@MartyrDumb haha yeah stealing robotic limbs is also ridiculous. I allied with the U.C and u can literally walk into the robotic workshop, attack the skeleton doctor run out, and the guards kill him for u. And on top of that, ignore you stealing all of his shit. I love Kenshi it truly is the best.
i mean thats kinda the point no? you have 900 hours, noobs dont. I do the same but instead of robbing squin i just go to narkos trap and you can net 100k instead. If you aggro the huge band of hungry bandits that spawn in skinners roam you can also level that stealth to about 75 in under 3 irl minutes. As a noob my experience is completely different though, and what we do to save time removes a core part of the early game experience that new players should experience. We probably have at least a dozen playthroughs under our belts, i myself have several hundred hours, but some of my most fun as a new player was struggling to survive, struggling to feed my guys, starting an outpost too early and getting absolutely ruined etc. This guide preserves the early game experience for noobs while also giving them a little headstart and explaining some mechanics, which is why i rate it so highly.
I was on shift at an ambulance station when listening to this video and that 2 beep sound you kept playing sounds like our call alarm and I hate you for that
I've watched a lot of guides on Kenshi and a lot of them go over everything too quickly and in shallow detail and/or show you a hyperspecific strategy to break the game which isn't my playstyle. This is the best guide I've found that goes over everything slowly and comprehensively while being entertaining to boot. Excellent work 👍
Dude I love these videos. Discovered you yesterday looking for some tips while playing Kenshi again. I got the bug. I started a new Wanderered Hive Prince called Pope. He's a goob
I have seen many guides over the years but this one is special. You describe things and nuances that others miss. Specific settings and basic mechanics. These few items in the Hub are also very useful. I played Kenshi for a while but discover new things with your video.
20:14 Usually what I do is select both Medic first then do the rescue task afterwards, but if I have enough people and beds set up, I will sometimes set up some sort of "rescue" squads who are passive. Their only goal is to find and bring people back to a safer place, then heal them. I simply just set rescue first then medic afterwards. It's great when you have a decent amount of people, have a base laid down or some beds within a town, and live in dangerous places (pretty much everywhere tbh), because you can get your downed characters to a safer place to be healed up, saving you a bit more on resources and a potential death within your group. Keep in mind, that sometimes your "rescue" squad can get attacked while going into the heat of a battle, but that's why it's important to have multiple in the squad because if one gets attacked, another can simply fulfill the role for them. This is personally my go-to strat when assigning medical roles in this game, and it's usually recommended if you have roots in a place rather than being a wanderer. Also, another important thing about the "rescue" squad. Make sure they have a decent amount of strength. This is to keep them from being bogged down and taking forever to get the fallen character to safety, seeing how timing is everything when there's a life on the line. Keep this squad in light/no armor gear, and give them sandals or any other clothes that give a bonus in athletics. Sorry for the chunk of a paragraph, but I hope this can be useful for someone.
The world of Kenshi is so vast and rich that there are so many different and effective ways to get stronger, richer, or to progress in the game. The only other game to give me a similar feeling to Kenshi is Skyrim
I just wanted to thank you for this guide. I learned nothing new - however I did confirm MANY things that I did to be right moves (even if not exactly the same). Such as setting up copper mining slavery oper... I mean, copper mining industrial operation. 10/10 - would watch again. Definitely will suggest anybody who will ask for good guide. Thank you!
Hey man, this video is awesome! I absolutely love it!!! You must be an incredibly smart and handsome man. If you don't keep making content... I'll find you.
Love your outlook on vanilla, 800+ hours clocked in the game and I still haven't used a single mod, nor experienced everything the vanilla game has to offer yet. I just use a corpse burner - no more corpse flies, and strength exp carrying those corpses to the burner, the dust storm and wind sound on the hand can get annoying.
more combat animation is too cool to leave behind for me, the day I found it was life changing and now I rarely go without it, nothing too flashy or goofy. nothing has come close to that masterpiece for me as far as mods go.
@@MartyrDumbtbh in the rimworld community its often advised of small QOL mods like that as a if you REALLY want to mod use this option to get some basic understanding of the games mod scene but its so minor it wont effect gameplay in any way that aint nice or helpful. btw if ya wondering the most i say is Dubs mint menu mod and deep storage for basics because both are small useful and even if ya did pure vanilla to for like a few colonies ya would see why thoes 2 are a good basic starter.
Great video, well edited and paced - very entertaining! If you hold shift while right clicking, you can move a whole stack of items at once. You can also move an item from your inventory to another character by dragging the item to that character's portrait (also works with the stack move). Took me way too long to figure out this convenience so I figured I'd mention it here. For a mic upgrade, the Shure MV7X XLR and Scarlett 2i2 with XLR and USB 2.0 cables has worked well for me (you can also go with the non XLR version without the Scarlett for a more streamlined setup). Keep up the great vids :)
I usually advocate against guides with kenshi and I had the most fun with the game when I didn't know how to play it, but you actually give a good start that doesn't totally spoil the experience of starting the game. I'd actually recommend it to somebody who doesn't want to get their ass beat and die multiple times trying to figure out how to fight a hungry bandit or outrun a beakthing
thats why i like this guide so much. It teaches the basics as it should, but doesnt teach you how to completely break the game like us old timers can do easily. Your first experiences in kenshi are special af.
i love your production quality, very nice i disagree with no-mods because that means no my mods xD and i made so many fixes and load reducers its criminal to wait for loadings or butcher textures
Near the tech hunter waystation in the border zone there is a ruined tiny settlement and ruined holy outpost, the outpost holds some weapons and stuff you can just go pick up and sell to at the waystation, so does the the tiny settlement, now where it gets intresting is that the tiny settlement also has about 18 building materials and 18 iron plates along with fuel, tools, gears and one book you can go pick up.
Numbers might change playthrough to playthrough as pretty much all loot in the game is randomized, there us also a unguarded ruin in the deadlands I like to hit up that can net you 10-20k cats from skeleton repair kits and power cores if you get lucky enough.
Thanka for the guide, bought this game a few days ago and I didnt understand shit lol, i didnt know you could buy houses so I would just mine and hide at bars
this is the go to for new players. I personally don't do the mining anymore at the start and go straight for scavenging in bast, but this was also my first start and how I learned to enjoy the game.
250 hours and I still set up jobs to auto-haul at my base, I had no idea that's what ditch items did. This channel is awesome. I'd love to see some base efficiency guides in this same style, mine always feel so unoptimized, I still have fun building them, but I'd like them to be an easier start than brute forcing it.
Yeah because it appeals to weeaboos. It's honestly astonishing that an anime fan could be smart enough to make a game, even one with as many needless flaws as kenshi.
about mods, what constitutes a "first playthrough?" is it exploring every area, fighting every boss or bounty, etc? ive started a few different playthroughs on kenshi, exploring a little more and a bit further every time, but still not too much around the fringes of the game. starting a new save on the new pc and i wanted to try kaizo bc im dreading going through all that too-familiar early game bs again. but if the "kenshi experience" is something i can still have ruined for me, maybe i'll just do a solo character "vanilla" run (im keeping the modded performance improvements) and visit everywhere i can since i usually get hung up on the base building and squad management side of things.
Du contraire, when I first booted up Kenshi some 12+ months back I was perplexed by the menus, I didn't understand what was what everything was odd, so I quit and went back to Bannerlord. Now after 800 hours of selling horses then forging the best blades a worth the entire income of 1 small country each, and conquering Calrathis with both monetary means and steel, I have decided to do the same to Kenshi, Only i started my own Assassin's biro in every city I buy a house an send a agent there! Soon I will be able to kill all of the world Leaders and see the world plunge into chaos, then I want to see if either the Canibals or the Fogg men conquer it all!
The name either comes from the town of Catun or from beloved leader of the second empire, I think it leads towards the second empire since its a more global currency.
Good guide, enjoyed your humor. Dunno if i missed it, but have you mentioned the ctrl+shift+F11 kombo to fix messed up building data? Helps with the pathfinding a lot.
i was indeed trick into purchasing this abomination of a game the exact way stated, spend a couple hrs in there trying to figure it all out and was semi successful but eventually just went " theres way too much to this, i quit!" , and havent touched it since. guess watching a guide would prob help
20:00 I've hit the 100hr mark in Kenshi today. And I never knew you could set your squad to run at the same speed. I've kept giving the "follow" job to all my squad, and selecting the slowest guy, and then sending him to a location.
For the "No mods" run I am doing so, except, like, just have simple mods like Dark UI, a Map Mod to help me see what area is what, and some visual mods for my guy to look as I want him, like faces+ and idle stance animations and a replacer for the Longsword to look like a longsword and not a machete
Damn. I've clocked like 100 hours by now, and I like watching Kenshi videos for other perspectives now that I've gotten some degree of expertise, but this opening credits roll is a bop. Am I about to watch a guide to a survival game, or play Yakuza Apocalypse?
Hi I am a long time player and enjoyer of Kenshi and I recently got some friends into this game as well, I watched the first few minutes of your amazing guide but I would like to watch the rest with them. I would like to know though before showing them, are there any spoilers in the video? And if there are, are they marked? Thank you very much for the silliness
Only what you would see as an average player picking the wonderer start, there are some areas shown in the background footage briefly like the swamp for example but nothing that would beat seeing it yourself.
In regards to gaining toughness from standing while near enemies after a knockout, sometimes quickly playing dead and standing up again can be rapidly repeated a few times while they're still in range, which will give the same gain each time. I don't really recommend it for a first play because it's a little exploity, but not too terrible IMO.
Can you force the play dead? I know with enough toughness you can start to get up pretty rapidly in almost 10 second intervals just by getting hit as long as the damage isn't too high.
Looking forward to kenshi 2. I lay awake at night hoping it’s even harder and everything sucks more. Also everyone talks about Beep but Ray is the better bug all day long. People sleep on solider drones but they scale as good a sheks and will eat trash you find on the ground. Very good boys you should try it.
This is a very good guide. I have been hesitant to watch any for fear of ruining the experience of discovering better methods of training, moneymaking etc, or spoiling the location discoveries. This is a perfect 'set you on your way with some bearings' guide without taking away from the beginner experience.
Nothing is worse than playing a new game with that friend who knows everything and trivializes all the struggle immediately. The struggle is the best part.
True. Without struggle there is no satisfaction.
Completely agree. All the other guides are like speedrun strats, or 'mine copper'. Best one by far.
Watched a 40 min long guide on a game I have hundreds of hours in.
10/10 would be guided again.
i wish i could discover this game again!
Haha same thing. God I love this mess of a game.
Same, LOL!!!
Amateur! (4500 HRS)
100 some hours and same lol
I did learn a few new things, like interacting with squad members in the UI
I did a Rebirth start. It took me about 30 in-game days, and my escape concluded, by crawling out with no legs.
where to after rebirth and no legs? closest thing might be the hives? must have taken years to crawl all the way there while evading beak things
A great way to start any playthrough.
Strong.

Telling newbies to hire multiple Sheks... for labor...
easy labor hehe
great labor until you start wondering why your base is starving a group of 10 starving bandits somehow kills everyone
better yet, lwt them start as slaves, socyou can free slaves that follow for free, just have to get past the 40 armed guards lol
I assure you, hiring a bunch of Shek women is a strict necessity
tbf its an amazing pathway for noobs to follow regardless. It gets them comfortable with the basics of the game, which is the point.

Thanks that means a ton my man.
I waited for your video! Really. Glad to see you are still going
More on the way 🕶
20:14 Usually what I do is select both Medic first then do the rescue task afterwards, but if I have enough people and beds set up, I will sometimes set up some sort of "rescue" squads who are passive. Their only goal is to find and bring people back to a safer place, then heal them. I simply just set rescue first then medic afterwards.

Very well done both Script and screen. Artwork at the best. Thanks
Aside from the comments for the algorithm.... Dude, you're amazing!
True
I’d love to eventually see a base building guide from you as that’s the gameplay I’m most interested in.
For now, gonna enjoy experimenting myself.
I like your style
my only complaint is the vid is not segmented into chapters. but its minor of a complaint. lovly vid all the way got a few chuckles
I offer this post to the algorithm. I also bough this game AFTER I watched this because I have no self control.
Its money well spent.
2:42 as a professional spreader of misinformation, i humbly apologize on behalf of this user for such a pathetic attempt at tomfoolery.
thank you joe pera
holy shit your right haha.
13 minutes in and I'll have to finish it later. Fantastic video so far. Well done.
Ah... A Lean Bean in the end... Nice.
youre legit hilarious and a really good editor
get a better mic tho
its not the worst but there are some really good mid range ones
Man ive been thinking about dropping the money on a good one forever now, one day tho one day.
i love your production quality, very nice

Everyone's been playing at 2 times skill gain this whole time? Well now I feel silly.
No actual skills are boosted just the speed of labor, building and research activities.
Kenshi is my favorite game of all time. This is a great and well edited guide. Nice job!
Great video
Great video man, had it playing during my lunch break, loved the humor and editing.
Thank you for this. Nice learning new things even after a year off and on playing.
another great vid :)
Thanka for the guide, bought this game a few days ago and I didnt understand shit lol, i didnt know you could buy houses so I would just mine and hide at bars
Oh good heavens!
Your voice makes this shit hilarious, please make more goober videos and goober guides.
Thanks bro, you covered a lot of stuff. When the video ended, I got sad. I was so invested. Thanks again!
perfect video as someone who has 1200 hours in the game you did an amazing job
100% agree about vanilla experiences before any and all modded experiences, it is vital to long-term health of the game for ALL players
Amen
As someone who just begin this game after finished Hitman trllogy, the power drop of the main character is wild.
this is the go to for new players. I personally don't do the mining anymore at the start and go straight for scavenging in bast, but this was also my first start and how I learned to enjoy the game.
good stuff!
great shoutout to geno
Huh you know what.. The left side of Squin ALSO has a copper node for two. I use that
Great guide without giving away all the details of the lore or locations of game breaking stuff/exploits.

the only guide that's actually helped.... thank you for making this game playable for me
I love the disclaimer at the start because the fanbase in this game is a special kind of re-ed
Yeah because it appeals to weeaboos. It's honestly astonishing that an anime fan could be smart enough to make a game, even one with as many needless flaws as kenshi.
about mods, what constitutes a "first playthrough?" is it exploring every area, fighting every boss or bounty, etc? ive started a few different playthroughs on kenshi, exploring a little more and a bit further every time, but still not too much around the fringes of the game. starting a new save on the new pc and i wanted to try kaizo bc im dreading going through all that too-familiar early game bs again. but if the "kenshi experience" is something i can still have ruined for me, maybe i'll just do a solo character "vanilla" run (im keeping the modded performance improvements) and visit everywhere i can since i usually get hung up on the base building and squad management side of things.
190 Hours and I had no idea about Ditch Items. This video was really good man, definitely got a sub the second I saw Snip Snop.
Du contraire, when I first booted up Kenshi some 12+ months back I was perplexed by the menus, I didn't understand what was what everything was odd, so I quit and went back to Bannerlord.
Now after 800 hours of selling horses then forging the best blades a worth the entire income of 1 small country each, and conquering Calrathis with both monetary means and steel, I have decided to do the same to Kenshi, Only i started my own Assassin's biro in every city I buy a house an send a agent there! Soon I will be able to kill all of the world Leaders and see the world plunge into chaos, then I want to see if either the Canibals or the Fogg men conquer it all!
Not a newbie but i wish i had this guide when i started, very good guide and funny edits
Wait, are cats named after You-Know-Who? Is that canon?
The name either comes from the town of Catun or from beloved leader of the second empire, I think it leads towards the second empire since its a more global currency.
i loved this, especially 4:28 he knows how to get me to listen for real
Good guide, enjoyed your humor.
Dunno if i missed it, but have you mentioned the ctrl+shift+F11 kombo to fix messed up building data? Helps with the pathfinding a lot.
wait a minute 3 years ago you was new at this game and you stamble across your own video guide/tutorial to this game ???
That is SICK !!!
Man, I wish I could play this game for the first time all over again
Makes me wish I could play kenshi for the first time again
Leane Bean Gang!
My first kenshi play through started with mining copper getting beat up by bandits and eaten by a bonedog while I was unconscious.
Dude, you Calling out the Cringe comment was masterful, the shame will make teach-em to know better.
i was indeed trick into purchasing this abomination of a game the exact way stated, spend a couple hrs in there trying to figure it all out and was semi successful but eventually just went " theres way too much to this, i quit!" , and havent touched it since. guess watching a guide would prob help
20:00 I've hit the 100hr mark in Kenshi today. And I never knew you could set your squad to run at the same speed. I've kept giving the "follow" job to all my squad, and selecting the slowest guy, and then sending him to a location.
Damn, that was badass
For the "No mods" run I am doing so, except, like, just have simple mods like Dark UI, a Map Mod to help me see what area is what, and some visual mods for my guy to look as I want him, like faces+ and idle stance animations and a replacer for the Longsword to look like a longsword and not a machete
Damn. I've clocked like 100 hours by now, and I like watching Kenshi videos for other perspectives now that I've gotten some degree of expertise, but this opening credits roll is a bop. Am I about to watch a guide to a survival game, or play Yakuza Apocalypse?
Hi I am a long time player and enjoyer of Kenshi and I recently got some friends into this game as well, I watched the first few minutes of your amazing guide but I would like to watch the rest with them. I would like to know though before showing them, are there any spoilers in the video? And if there are, are they marked? Thank you very much for the silliness
Only what you would see as an average player picking the wonderer start, there are some areas shown in the background footage briefly like the swamp for example but nothing that would beat seeing it yourself.
@@MartyrDumb Gotcha, thanks a bunch
In regards to gaining toughness from standing while near enemies after a knockout, sometimes quickly playing dead and standing up again can be rapidly repeated a few times while they're still in range, which will give the same gain each time. I don't really recommend it for a first play because it's a little exploity, but not too terrible IMO.
Can you force the play dead? I know with enough toughness you can start to get up pretty rapidly in almost 10 second intervals just by getting hit as long as the damage isn't too high.
Looking forward to kenshi 2.
I lay awake at night hoping it’s even harder and everything sucks more.
Also everyone talks about Beep but Ray is the better bug all day long.
People sleep on solider drones but they scale as good a sheks and will eat trash you find on the ground.
Very good boys you should try it.
damn daniels
What a great video
