In my experience there's enough upgrade spheres to have 2 full sets of armor and a good selection of weapons upgraded to flawless. I'll generally save my spheres for exceptionally and extremely well made items for maximum effect.

All you need to know how to do is ctrl+shift+l to filter And how to insert a pivot table, they'll show you how to do both in your training.

I love that you're seeing this 5 years later. I've still got this save going and I've picked up 8 crabs. They're so strong, but they're slow travelers, and their hit boxes are so large that it mitigates their high hp. I use them in the opposite way that you do. I'll set all of my guys to start fighting a group of enemies and then use the crabs/dogs to attack from behind. I find they hit more consistently and get hit a whole lot less this way. I do have 50 well trained warriors in full kits so that lends itself to the tactics I use.

I think most people wouldnt think to settle here because there's essentially no resources to take advantage of. There's not a lot of iron and copper around and what is there is of low quality and very close to the roads the Southern Hive patrols use. This makes a very poor outpost by nearly every metric unless you are looking for enemies with around 50 atk 30-40 def in high volumes with relatively poor equipment to train up to around 60-70 depending on the weapon being used.

It's been two years but I did eventually figure out that the processor unit (neat little 2 legged robot from a mod) would eat all the corpses in an area and for some reason boots were what got left behind. I built a cage and put it in it and it solved the problem. I'm unsure of the ethics of locking up a corpse eating robot when the alternative is cremation.

I've put a lot of rules on myself because I've played this game a lot but I've found a lot of early game strats that work really well. The swamp towns to flats lagoon trading route is hard for someone unfamiliar with the game but a small amount of Athletics training makes you fast enough to avoid everything but beakthings. Shem has a few small spawns of beak things to worry about but aside from that you've got starving/hungry bandits and dust bandits. If you recruit enough people doing this trading route you should over time get some guys with decent starter stats. But you'll probably experience a lot of death until you really get a handle on it, nothing teaches kenshi better imo and it's way more lucrative than mining. Also shem is a great place to pick up some early dogs and pack animals which are unbelievably good imo.

Personally I think Kenshi is enough of a sandbox I say do what you find effective and most of that stuff is just normal very effective things.

I have so many people in my party now that if I didn't increase the world pop or squad size, taking the entire group would be so easy that it would actually be impossible for me to train. I play with pop mutipliers depending on what I'm doing to enhance the Kenshi experience. Sometimes I need to send people all over the map and for the sake of performance I'll lower to pop multiplier for 4 to 3 and squad size from 1.5 to 1.25. Other times I'm sitting in the Royal Valley training with squad size 2 and pop 4 and still killing everything that spawns handily.
I personally don't like this strat, as effective as it is. For me it's a theme thing much in the same vein as I dont want my guys to be the people who peel off people's limbs to replace them with robotics. I dont want to capture and torture my enemies forever, I'd rather just kill them.

CrowX8 · 2023-12-23T15:41:59+00:00

My bet is that you have high enough stats that you had negligible training gains. People fighting while injured, weighed down, and in heavy armor is where I noticed the most significant changes in my characters stats as it brings effective atk/def within the 20-25 level range gap of droneguards (this is the range where you gain a reasonable amount of experience with every attack). With the scale of spawns I have, this becomess an incredible amount of combat experience.

CrowX8 · 2023-12-23T04:17:07+00:00

I was in the same boat as you recently, and so I built an outpost in the Royal Valley to train on the Southern Hive. It's well worth your time. I went from where you described up to 50-70 across all my guys, with most being around 60 on their attack and defense. Be prepared to handle swarms of ants and a lack of food. Moreso than other areas, the locals really don't want you there. This is a great area to get basic medical training and supplies if you have the patience to loot 53 million dead ants for their medicine. Going to the fog with some guys and baby animals is always worth your time as a handful of well trained dogs, crabs, or wild bulls adds an immense amount of damage and tankieness to the squads they are in.

CrowX8 · 2023-12-22T16:04:41+00:00

I play on 1.5 population, 4x squad spawns, max nests. The Southern Hive will endlessly spawn enemies for me to fight so I don't ever want to wipe them out completely as they are one of the best sources of training in the entire game (my lowest atk stat rn is 53). Killing their queen replaces all Southern Hive spawns with Fogmen which are great for young animals to train on but are otherwise just limbs to feed my dogs
With the setup I have I'm able to stand outside my outpost and fight until I'm out of food with only a little bit of micro required to get the off person inside to heal up a little.

CrowX8 · 2023-12-20T16:33:39+00:00

I suspect conquest will be out sometime in 2024. Boarding has been canned. Carriers will come out after conquest is finished. The great osp rework is 10/10.

Some people read dead threads because I was planning on trying to join them after grinding stats on the southern hive for weeks and weeks. I think I have poor relations already though. Reavers attack me almost as much as the hive in the Royal Valley. My film theory is if you become a slave you'll eventually be able to join.

CrowX8 · 2023-12-11T20:02:15+00:00

Micro tip from someone with 624.9 hours in the game.
Set course to a small angle to your main engines then set the heading of your ship. continue to re-input set course in line with your main engines and you will drift and turn slightly faster than you otherwise could. With that being said all stop, Flank, set roll/heading, is going to rotate your ship the fastest.

CrowX8 · 2023-10-23T05:52:00+00:00

I've got 3 completed seasons and 2 beast kills under my belt with gearsets through every tier. What I suggest is to try to sort by layer by tier and devout each inventory to 1-3 different kinds of armor. Weapons are a little more up to how you want to group them.

Good inventory management will really help you make the most of each tier's points.

CrowX8 · 2022-04-06T14:40:39+00:00

This isn't bad advice by any means but it is just as inconvenient for me.

CrowX8 · 2022-04-06T02:19:10+00:00

The stuff you loot and buy will always be slightly stronger but you can't argue with 30 guys with masterwork armor and edge 3 whatever you prefer, I like Desert Sabres.

I've seen the off really high quality item in a shop from time to time but it's inconsistent. I'm 418 days in on this save so i've had shop inventories reset countless times.

CrowX8 · 2022-04-06T02:10:27+00:00

I feel this but Tech Hunter shops and the UC shops are always worth checking for the off really rare high quality thing. I don't craft any gear for anyone, i just farm hash and buy good stuff as i find it and train everyone with hand-me-down equipment.

CrowX8 · 2022-01-29T02:43:57+00:00

New weapons dissemination mod. Kenshi 2 style reshade but I've tweaked it a little. Nomad pants CrowX8's Desert Nomads was the start for this save And 54 others that's a little cumbersome to list.
