So i've been messing around with the FCS recently and wanted to make something substantial. While i was browsing around I got inspired to make a "female" skin bandit NPC, but I quickly realized I need to learn Blender to make it happen, and it's a whole other beast compared to FCS. So I figured I'd come here in the vain hope someone might be willing to make it happen.

 

What I need is a skeleton with working breast sliders, and a Human Skin mesh that works with said breast sliders. And maybe also clipping issues fixed with the head, as the basic skeleton wasn't meant to wear the Human Skin. Picture of what i'm going for in the spoiler.

 

Anyone willing to help?

Jesus that's a horrifying concept. I love it!

Wish I could help, so I hope you find someone who can.

Hey there! Quick question regarding th Bedsex mod, is there a way to easily change the textures of the sex matresses to be the same as vanilla sleeping bags? The bright blue shininess is really screwing with my interior design. I tried looking into texture replacement guides but could only find some that are for adding completely new textures. I was wondering if its possible to just copy over the existing one on the ones added by the sexbed mod. thanks!

Tried using the base female skeleton with the skin bandit body? If the bones doesn't match, clear all the vertex groups then copy from the female body, fixing any inconsistency.You may also need to add the female bits to the mesh.

Does anyone know this mod(s)? I found these screenshots but I cant find anything with reverse image search.

Armor looks like something either form Fashion Kenshi or Sexy Clothing. Bodies appear to be your regular Kenshi bodies, probably with Kenshi Nude Mod or Nude Females or Nudity Plus, just with jacked up STR stat and boob slider all the way to the right.

 

As to the faces, I have no idea. I have not seen a mod with such detailed faces anywhere, but then again I wasn't really looking. Kenshi is not on my list of make-as-lewd-as-possible games. Skyrim is.

Twitter used called jonijonikenshi, he never shared any of the armor mods or the face. The info I got mentioned the MCMS/Beauty face race, also he is using a face texture that was custom made from a skyrim mod

I dmed him and he said he'll release them at some point. I hope soon cos the design is very well done.

Perhaps the question is too general, but what's the current state of this game?

 

I have been seeing bits of people's content, you know, clips and pics.  For example, someone changed a Rimworld mod to fit with Kenshi's setting.  However, the last time I checked several years ago, the game looked incomplete; and I got the impression it was one of those projects that take a decade to make and is never really finished due to its ambitions not matching the implementation and execution.  Even so, the hybrid subgenre is very interesting, as I tend to enjoy colony building sims, survival crafting, and rpg roguelikes.  On paper, it should be right up my alley, but every time I watch someone play it; it's off-putting and demotivating.

 

Maybe my issue is with the graphics.  Sure, it's notoriously ugly, but graphical fidelity isn't my only concern--I used to play text and still play lo-res games; it's that I heard this game runs poorly, and it looks like it's designed without attention to technical limitations.  Perhaps the setting is too generic post-apocalypticb  and we ought to mod the dry setting.  The terrain, buildings, everyone seems to have a bland tan color palette, so everything looks samey.

How is publicly available mod scene, and how well can the game run them?  I couldn't find a mod to change the resource nodes to different colors.

 

Another thing is the scope of the project.  It seems like it's trying to do a bit of everything.  Many times in these open-world sandbox games, there's a false impression of choices, but the game nudges you towards a set path that's just as linear and repetitive but less rewarding because it's more tedious.

How complete is the base feature set and is it actually fun to play in your opinions?

Heh, honestly thats a bit ofan odd question considering the discussions usually held on this site, but I'll indulge you with my own biased opinion.

I've had literally thousands of hours of gameplay from this game and the extensive mods, HOWEVER, i also got a bunch of headaches. Save files that ended up corrupted, (Likely due to an issue with Modding and updates, and even tho the issue is rare, no one was able to help me salvage that save, 100's of hours gone because I didn'T use my 4 save cycle method.) The technical fidelity is definitly it's biggest issue imo and would be the reason most people stop playing. Theres all sorts of mods for foilage reduction and lower texture resolution, unfortunately however, those didn't help me. Only after updating to a newer rig ith an SSD and 16 ram and a better graphic card. Unfortunately many of the technical issues moderators and other forum users told me would solve my issues with lag and loadtimes only did so minimally. I've made many posts in the forums in the past in order to find solutions for various issues and one thing that unfortunately came from that was the fact that apparently I am very unlucky with getting help from official people. So far the only time I got interactions with some kind of developer or moderator with programing experience was after I made 3 of the same posts asking a simple question, befpore finally someone aanswered me, but only after they contacted me to warn me about possible bans for spamming.

Anyway, to make this long ramble short and give you my personal opion summed up:

The game is fun, but aggrevating at times. The community is helpful, but can be  toxic at times. Staff (Moderators mainly) arnt really much of a help when it comes to technical issues, I had the majority of my problems, if not fixed at least explaioned by other players in the forums.

I would say if you are not certain wait for a sale, or even for the second part, tho that one is definitly years away, no matter what other people in the forums will make you believe.

I'd suggest watching some gameplay videos to make a better picture of how the game works, how it runs etc.

 

There is also an official Kenshi discord now, making it easier for people to ask for help.

 

I have yet to see how this save corruption manifests, but except for some glitches caused by wrong mod order (I have about 80 mods, that makes troubleshooting harder), I haven't noticed any big bugs. Some of them are even cute.

Can't remember the last time the game crashed, but optimization is just bad. I can run RDR2 at max with no problems yet Kenshi drops me to 30fps, even less sometimes, unless I lower the settings. Most annoying are loading times, even on SSD. It's fair to say though that it only happens when I max the game speed.

 

It has it's quirks, but so does Skyrim, Cyberpunk and pretty much every other game. If you like the setting and features, take a look at some gameplay videos and go for it.

 

Or wait for Kenshi 2 which uses Unreal Engine and will probably run much better.

That's what I was saying though, lol.  The setting looks bland (yes, I know it's supposed to be hardcore, but I read too many sci-fi and fantasy books, so it seems generic to me).  I think the features are awesome, and the style of gameplay should be very interesting to someone who enjoys the game genres Kenshi hybridizes, but I get demotivated every time I watch someone play, so that's why I was asking for your opinion on how the game plays, especially modded, since I'm interested in changing the setting's aesthetics at the very least. 

 

Thanks for explaining your experience.  I've been watching Rycon's playthrough on youtube, which is interesting, but it hasn't excited me to play myself.  I know folks on this forum are likely to install 80 or more mods, so your opinion is more relevant to me than his.

Obviously, it doesn't matter if it's biased since I asked for an opinion.  I don't think opinions can ever be unbiased, but that's off-topic.  In any case, thanks for describing your experience.

 

I got a few mods off the workshop and stopped by the Kenshi discord last night. I still haven't found terrain and biome overhauls to change the washed-out environment yet.  Perhaps, I need a ReShade plugin.  For the moment, I'd be satisfied with a mod that just changes the resource ore nodes' textures or colors.  I'm tempted to do it myself, but I'll make the game even uglier, lol.  Maybe this weekend if I have time.

 

So yea, back on topic, what's the adult content like?  Any recommended mods?  I'll skim through the rest of this thread, of course, but where should I start?  I've only seen the female nude body mods so far.  Speaking of that, which one of those nude mods do you think works best with everything else?

I think you have to make it interesting for yourself. I mean, like, come up with some backstory and roleplay quiet a lot in your head. The game has some stories, but I for example was never interested in those, I wanted to create a new story of my own, give personality to those little figures I was leading into an adventure, watch how they success and fail (and die ), how they grow into a village or town, things like that.

There are nude mods, some skimpy armors, interactive furniture that makes the character play an animation (strip poles, or sex beds), but there are no adult mods that would add some adult game mechanics. Maybe milking mod, sort of, but mainly it's about nude skins, body mods, skimpy armors and decorations.

As for nude skins, I use Yet Another Kenshi Nude Mod, because there are compatibility patches for that one and it's still being updated.

Mate, i really like your mods,they have the right amount of perversion that im very fond of but you need to do something about the game crashes that they are causing...also i don't know if these armors have any blueprints (because the game crashes everytime i install this mod),but in general i have to wait for a couple of weeks (real time) untill i find a piece of your armors (outfits) in a game vendor at least in specialist grade. I'm sorry if i sound like i am nagging(since i am not a modder but only a user) but i really like the skimpiness of your mods and i wish i had them all....ty

 

 

 

A fan of your work

[Kargrin]

Sorry, but I cannot replicate the crashes you have. The issue can be with compatibility with another mod. Also using the community part map mod may help.

Also the gear can be found between three different shops, either with ninjas, shek or armor king.

Blademaster factions and recruitables.zip

OUTDATED (check out page 25 for newest version)

Here, I made a mini faction mod with Kargrin's armors as the focus! 

Don't expect too much, I'm still very new with this (both kenshi modding and posting here, or anywhere really). 

Spoiler

Some details:
-It adds recruitables to (almost) every town, with only a 50% chance for them to spawn on most towns unless I feel like there should be a reason berzerking women would feel attracted to that town somehow.
-Also adds two mercenary squads, one small and experienced and the other more average and numerous. These too may spawn in most towns but aren't guarenteed to spawn. 
-Added two mini-factions which will spawn both homeless spawns (patrols) and camps in all that skimpy glory. One is hostile, the other friendly. Both are mirrored in stats but not armors, with the friendly one using primarily the berzerker and stone golem set and the hostile one using the dark iron and narkite set. 
-I also made it so that the armors are being sold by most merchants, which trivializes acquiring it somewhat, but considering I'm adding spawns wearing it that can be hired and looted, I figure that ship has sailed already.
-Also a small chance that they may spawn without top/bottom armor, which is intended both for sexy purposes and to make them a bit weaker.
-Oh, and that goes without saying but all mentioned spawns are female only. Balanced so they may spawn greenlander/scorch and sheks equally.

Now as for where I know this mod to be lacking:
-I only made one squad type for each faction, so don't expect variety or to find weaker/stronger ones depending on the zones. To add some measure of variety, I made these patrols very random in numbers (from 2 to 20 spawns each). Worth noting that their numbers should scale with your randomized squad number settings too, or mods that affect it.
-I didn't give them any dialogue nor did I add ways to interact with them (you can interact with recruits and mercs in town to hire them, but thats it), so there is no benefit to trying to up your relations or anything. 
-The recruitables are pretty "weak", to the point of not even be able to fight effectively in their gear. Can't have recruitables of a too high skill level or the game won't allow you to talk to them. There would have been ways to bypass this but I'm lazy, so enjoy training your zerking waifu. They're still stronger than almost all vanilla recruits though.
-The faction's relations are simplified to make sure I don't fuck something, meaning the friendly patrols will be friendly with Holy Nation as well as others even if it doesn't make much sense. You can just pretend they would rather their crazy out of control women join this skimpy warrior cult that kills bandits over the flotsam, idk!

That's about it! I've tested and tweaked the mod for a bit less than a week. Should work fine, though there may be things I've missed, so let me know!

Changes on new version: 
-Nerfed both factions by lowering the quality of their weapons all the way to ancient. As it was, they were absolutely wrecking the holy nation who only has access to shitty weapons.
-Fixed the hostile squad ai to make foot soldiers more aggressive straight away and not just watch their leader fight for a bit. 

OH, and you'll still need Kargrin's mod, and higher in the load order too. I didn't want this to appropriate his stuff.

For clarity: "Blademaster factions and recruitables" is the main mod that does all of the above, "Berserk armor more common" is a patch that only makes the armor sold by more vendors, in case some people want easy access to skimpy without everything else, and lastly "BerzerkRecruits" is a compatibility patch with the main mod's spawns and the popular "Recruit Anyone" mod, in case you find a particuliar girl attractive and want to deepen your relationship by sticking her in a cage.

Yo, Seach for Start-Blademaster\Mesh\weapons. You can delete the copia files, the mod doesn't use them (which is bizarre, as an unused file should not crash the game)

Damn sweet! 
Will probably include those on mercs - although, think you could post it on the nexus or something so we could take it there?
Hell, steam workshop would probably accept it too considering the mods that are there. 
I don't know if this qualifies as loverslab material at this point and I'm scared about cluttering the thread

Either way, very nice. Any plans to add more stuff? 

Spoiler

Pls say yes ;-;

Edit: I may be missing something, but did you delete other armor files? 
I can only see the dark iron, narkite and robonarkite sets in the FCS. The berserker and stone golem sets are gone.
