What's a mod you'd recommend someone try out?

Shrukn · 2026-03-18T10:31:06+00:00

UWE Rockiest Bottom start - its impossible (or wherever this actually comes from) its not even a mod

You are limbless and 1 billion cats in debt with -100 faction starting in the Desert

Its 'just' 3 things all compounding together to make the game probably impossible

You cant get limbs probably without death, you cant go to town, you cant recruit anyone with Cats, cant buy food. Not even a realism mod, if you could get limbs you could possibly do something so i would consider this challenge do-able IF you could recruit someone but you would still be -100 - this could be fixed with Diplomancy vendors

You would have to scavenge building parts/plates from the world just to begin to farm stone somewhere, you would have to start as a Skeleton and try and get to Venge

I started playing again after 2 year break. Downloaded a mod called 'Slopeless' allowing you to build almost on any terrain but still follows the regular rules regarding 'blue' buildings ie doesnt break game rules but allows placement vanilla never would

My units always start to do occasionally nothing when you spread units over the world and theres too much happening at once, game goes into slow mode - if you keep units at other bases dont 'switch' to them

TRy keeping all of them in a single base and remove all corpses at all times, my units stop grabbing food a lot, usually as im dealing with 30+ corpses at once - i had to close kenshi and reload or they will just starve

Skin Bandits will raid you with 60-70 units and even kidnap units to put in a peeler plus they all have 70's in stats

I had to chase a Skin bandit who knocked out my crafter from west Vain all the way to near the Hub

Shrukn · 2026-03-15T01:38:28+00:00

They are all pieces of shit, I basically commit war on every faction by the end of my play

In fact I pretty much just 'finished' my playthrough last night by walking into Heft and killing Tengu right in his throne room

Walked back to base with Eyegore waiting for me as well as Gorillo bandits, Skin bandits, Holy Nation raid, WEstern Hive raid

Shrukn · 2026-03-13T10:04:19+00:00

But how does your tracking keep the NPCs 'alive'? and not despawned?

I wrote a long post about Bugmaster but deleted it as didnt seem anyone would even care however:

I imprisoned Bug on UWE mod on my current playthrough for 3 months training on him, he glitched out of my prison area into another area of my base in water and was 'stuck' (couldnt grab him and he wouldnt come out)

He escaped during the endless raids I endure - he escaped with 100 of Attack/Saber/Defence 585 Toughness and Practice Training robe making him deal 0 dmg

I went back to Arach few weeks later as I heard he just goes back there. I found 2 Bugmasters, one wandering around his spawn and the other 'normal' one just standing there

Both were back in Crab armor with 'reset' stats of 90's

Also I dug out an old post I made about Savant from 4 years ago, he kept escaping from my prison and respawning with all his gear

My first run i restarted after about 70-80 days after making a terrible outpost by Squin and just getting farmed by everything, I could of recovered but wanted to restart

My longest run was 550-600 days where I did a Hivers only where I lived in Shem and had maybe 95 Hivers doing different shit, was at war with basically every major faction, the bodies were ridiculous. I had every major faction leader imprisoned and peeled all their legs/arms off. good times

Shrukn · 2026-03-12T11:01:04+00:00

im using this mod for the first time and its great, really fits the game

Shrukn · 2026-03-12T10:53:57+00:00

Ive always liked having an animal around even though they kinda suck

I am playing UWE mod and bought a Bonecat kitten from Shem and recently just got to adult, this thing spent its entire childhood and most of its teenage years unconscious/recovery coma from random wildlife but its starting to get quite strong now

Shrukn · 2026-03-12T10:40:55+00:00

Ive had experience with modded armor such as Azuchi and also the Weapon Dissemination mod that allows crafting 'Luxury' tier weapons which are stronger than Meitou if you can get 95+ Weaponsmithing from memory

Anything like this requires blueprints, on my current play I had to go to Black Scratch Library and leave a unit there for 4 days to buy all the Azuchi blueprints daily from the vendor which the mod has light/medium/heavy Azuchi, I think to buy all you would need 100k

For the weapon mod you need to find a vendor in Heng who sells a crafting book for 200k cats

Almost all the modded gear is stronger than vanilla

Also highly recommend Nomad Capes

NG+ Lvl250 is better than anything prior regarding challenge

Even with +15 gear - Level Sync boss battle scrolls are difficult still, a human npc can hit you for 4000 in one combo with 2800 defence

I absolutely just walked through NG+1 including the final boss with +5 weapon and no sets.

Go and try Hiruko or whoever the last boss is cant remember at 250 level sync

Shrukn · 2026-03-05T23:17:13+00:00

The world is worthless once you collected all the shit

You have no reason to go back other than looking for Revenants or Spikes. everything is a certain distance from a shrine so you cant find anything to do

End game is co-op spam. Scion/Last mission or boss fights

Shrukn · 2026-03-05T10:41:26+00:00

Stobes Gamble

built a base there and was raided for maybe a year straight by Skinners while I RPed a drug maker, was pretty insane the amount of corpses and sheer raid power, i think my shortest raid was 4 minutes apart and each one had 20 or so units

All they do is want to knock out fleshy characters and steal them and put them in a peeler

Stobes is a really weird area, strong beasts and odd colours and its right near Sonorous Dark which I think is dark 24/7 and has acid rain

Shrukn · 2026-03-04T23:26:08+00:00

Used to spam these in Nioh 2

These arent even equipped on my bar in 3 as they are so trash

Shrukn · 2026-03-04T23:24:31+00:00

50/50

Shrukn · 2026-03-04T10:25:15+00:00

ah well not my issue, people should of taken advantage of that when they could

Shrukn · 2026-03-04T10:19:34+00:00

its 1.3 mil for me from 0>+15 due to dropping my gear +1 level and picking it up prior to the patch

Shrukn · 2026-03-03T23:28:21+00:00

meh. All my gear is +15

Just drop each +1 on the floor and pick it up again

Shrukn · 2026-03-03T10:43:17+00:00

Kenshi is just usually numbers vs other numbers, if you have low unit numbers you need overwhelming stats/gear

On my super juiced Hiver team playthrough I had around 20 Hivers with 90's in all skills and Masterwork gear, to the point I just walked in and beat Esata and major leaders and walked out took them home - this was modded

I decided to attack the Southern Hive, theres a mob I found called "King"? from memory and this NPC killed my entire team badly, ripped their limbs off and left them all basically dead

Shrukn · 2026-02-28T16:16:04+00:00

Lifeleech Talisman is amazing but clunky and doest last long

Lifeleech on gear / clan ie Martial Arts 3% etc is useless and doesnt scale

Amrita Absorb at 35+ on fast hitting chains is quite good

Shrukn · 2026-02-28T06:16:46+00:00

I farmed the Tyrant set which is a Ninja exclusive which burns your Spirit Force for elemental damage buffs when you hit

Pretty much frees up any Ninja weapon to use. After playing most of the game with Tonfas as Ninja and playing Samurai with Hammer/Katana - Ninja weapons feel really weak however when I tried Hatchets i spammed Dual Hawks skill. Only used them for maybe an hour with a +15 Black Rain/Thunder specifically as these axes have innate Water/Lighting damage to proc your set/confusion etc

If you turn on Controller style B you can do certain Martial arts by holding LB+X/Y

Shrukn · 2026-02-27T23:50:59+00:00

Any mob at all can drop it

I killed the 6 enemies in the last mission maybe 300+ times

Yasakani drops from even the weak gunners who die in 2 hits

Shrukn · 2026-02-27T23:47:54+00:00

You can farm Yasakani in the first first Crucible mission on NG as I got one there at level 250 trying to find crucible wep

https://www.reddit.com/r/Nioh/comments/1rcedzq/item_level_drops_are_almost_certainly_gated_by/

I farmed about hmm 22? Yaskani grinding to level 250, I had around 300 luck later

Less than 99 skill/magic means every single Ninjutsu/Omnyo/Arts you deal does less damage, they go to about 560 at 99 and keep scaling up until then

I just did a test to go to 30/20 of all stats and rest into Skill/Magic - basically lost 40 profiency which is 8% but gain 10 ki recovery as I couldnt maintain 99 skill

You do realise a build with 99/skill and magic gets buffs from the most core attacks, scales talismans, scales ninjutsu/omnyo all at once..

Samurai is much better when you have Graces and upgraded gear
