Kenshi: Living World

Authors description: Living World

Living World

This is a mod that adds a large number of world state triggers and town overrides to make the world of Kenshi feel more alive. What this means is that towns change faction ownership if important NPCs are dead. Also player being allied to a faction can decide which faction takes over.

Living World also includes many small fixes and improvements.

If you kill Cannibal Grand Wizard, Deadcat will get their old capital and Ghost Village back.

If you are, you can find him at Cactus Den if Sand Ninja Oni is dead. Many more World State triggersMany large and small locations will be taken over by another faction depending on whether important people are alive and who the player is allied to.Helpful TownersMany towns have one or more villagers that will help defend their home from wild animals and carry knocked out guards and towners to a bed if possible. This will help towns survive random animal attacks and not get wiped out so easily.Mourn ExpandedMourn has a bit stronger Tech Hunter presence so that the town doesn’t get so easily wiped out by Skin Spiders and Beak Things.Improved Bounty HuntingThere are more bounties in the world and Bounty Hunters will try to collect them.Shopping VisitsThe player’s outpost can be visited by people wanting to buy things if there are neutral towns nearby.NPCs can buy stuff and have first aid kitsMany NPCs now have basic first aid kits in their inventory so that they can fix their wounds after a fight. Also many NPCs with Shopping in their AI now have a little bit of money to buy basic things.Writing and Scripting FixesLiving World fixes many smalls errors in writing and scripting.NOTE: Living World is 100% lore friendly and does not change the atmosphere of Kenshi or mess with the gameplay. This mod doesn’t add new factions or towns, or otherwise overpopulate the world.Compatibility: Living World works well with various “Expanded” mods such as Circumsoldier’s Cannibals Expanded. Reactive World works with Living World but there will be minor problem in the northern part of the map with Cannibals, Deadcat, Holy Nation and Rebel Famers. Swap the mod loading order if Deadcat doesn’t take over settlements from the cannibals if using Reactive World. Reactive World also changes cannibal shacks to stone mines which makes Deadcat Capital and villages look empty.There can be some overlaps with other mods that affect world state overrides but you can choose which mod takes priority in the mod loading list.
