This game is absolute horseshit. Who the hell finds any pleasure when playing this game...

I'm just not sure it's for me user, I like to have goals to play towards and I'm normally too retarded to make up my own.
Like I'll start and then be paralysed with what the fuck now.

Go by needs first: find a way to make money and survive.
From then, the game should open itself to you, if it clicks.

>118 minutes
Lol, you didn't even played it. Just refund it retard.

Clear out the Ashland domes.
There, you got an objective now.

As someone who loves dwarf fortress and mount and blade I really wanted to like this game. But as the OP said, it's kind of just not fun.

pleb, hating on the best RPG (as in, role playing game not stat Skinner box with railroaded plot) released in last two years.

50 is low to take him down, especially with just one attack slot. get them to 70+ and do it again.

DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME

Play RimWorld or DF instead

Seconding OP. The world is empty, there is no progression, no aim, no gameplay, nothing.
inb4 hurr durr just maek ur own fun
At this point you better off staring at wall and imagining you play good game, you drooling autistic retard. At least it's free. Fucking zoomers, you will eat any shit indie devs put out, ask for more and defend it with your life. You are the second biggest cancer of the industry, right after AAA devs.

>The world is empty
Just because you can't find anything, doesn't mean nothing is there.

hey hey people

People only say they like it because of le epice funny YouTube man

Yeah, at least DF has gameplay and progression, unlike this abortion. DF being sandbox doesn't even feel like an issue, because it has those things.

I like it but it's very clear that the dev got burned out coding the game for a decade so he just shipped it out despite only being half way done and in need a fuckton of polish.

Why? Provide justification for your request.

why not all 3?

Those two and kenshi are not even comparable gameplay wise. A more correct comparison would be mount and blade or crpgs

Rim World and Dwarf Fortress are for hambeast incels, Kenshi is a game for chads.

It takes way longer than that to get going. Sadly. Even after 2 hours as a new player you're not really equipped to deal with or do... anything really.
I think I gave it 15 hours and I still didn't know what I was doing or felt like I could do much of anything with my little posse of shitters. And improving your combat by getting into fights and losing might be a neat concept, but it's not much fun in practice watching your IQ 70 guys miss every swing and then get beat down.

Mods will fix it :^)

I played this game for about 190 hours on steam and maybe like 20 on pirate. The game really became repetitive after something like 100 hours, there's not much shit to do even if you mod the game more than skyrim. Also the optimisation is garbage. My game was crashing like crazy either because of some mods or shitty patches.

how much time do I have to invest until the fun stuff starts? am I going to have to repeatedly do early game grinding to get to the fun stuff everytime I die?

Your main character isn't important. As long as you have a second character, the game doesn't end.

The game is a hamsterwheel of neverending grind. You grind to get up your numbers, the game is laughable easy once you understand that you don't have to tackle content that's far above your current skill level. You are basically going to grind STR by carrying around shit, DEX with cutting weapons, DEF and ATK with prisoners. There's nothing beyond what you initially see.

That being said, for the first time around it can be weirdly enticing, but the game in itself is fucking shallow once you understand the underlying mechanics.

You have to really mess up to actually die. If you recruit a single other character, you can have them chilling in safety somewhere ready to rescue you in the small chance that something puts you into a recovery coma while afflicted by fatal bleeding. Also, you can usually tell the things that might result in this before engaging, where you can dump your extra weight and outrun them instead of fighting.

However, 90% of battles usually just end with you playing dead and the enemy walking away. Losing battles is part of the growing process (trains Toughness). If you're appropriately careful, none of your characters will actually die.

Hey hey, peopleKILL YOURSELF

are you posting from another galaxy? you're late by couple of years

Yeah that's the same feeling I get, that's why I refunded it during the Steam sale. I felt it was gonna be like Mount and Blade, another game where I read all these neat stories and see neat videos of but once I pick it up I just meander around for 2 hours.

Its up there with my favorite games. Once you understand the game start RPing with restrictions. Like playing Holy Nation where you dont advance tech and destroy all skeles, your objective is to simply destroy the skeleton settlements whilest surviving with low tech.

>played 2 hours
>don't know if want to keep playing and potentially be stuck with a game I don't want to play or just to refund it

Anyone gets long buffering times? It happens often for me and fucks my frames up. I had to refund for that

Yeah it's pretty garbo

Yes until I spent half an hour on tinkering with settings until I found some magical combination that only slowed shit down for a few seconds at a time
Also frequent crashes

you could pirate it

>mining copper
>got bored
>stoll some hemp and sold that instead
>can now buy a backpack
>eyeing up the large one assuming I'll be able to carry more stolen goods/ore
>it says "you can't just fill this up with ore and carry it across the wasteland you can barely lift it" or something

I get that it would slow me down in combat, but isn't the point of buying the big backpack to exclusively fill it with more stuff

are there good mods out yet?
i'm saving my 3rd play for a modded kenshi

Starting out with nothing and then becoming a god, roaming the land with masterwork gear you made yourself, genociding the undesirables. Its a good game because it does not hold your hand and allows the player to play how they please. I am just disappointed that I did not wait to play the game when they fully released it.

I know there's hunger shit, but is that the extent of the survival meme bullshit? Like I don't need to sleep or anything like that?

Deep wounds can take can a bit of time to heal, but beds can mitigate this. Also, food isn't a problem at all.

thanks, it's been one of the things putting me off

no unless you get beat up and all your limbs or broken
just become a robot

I got depressed playing this. Refunded straight away

>get to town
>steal everything from the shops

is there any reason not to do this? like why would I pay all that money for that backpack I just picked up for free?

Food is only a problem if you stick to the middle desert or go deep into wild territory. As soon as you manage to make any money, you'll be able buy food to survive easily. Food can become a problem with very large groups, forcing you to regularly visit shop to stock up or spend a shitload of time at your base farming for high tier food.

To true mark of a plebeian.

I just wish it didn't look as awful as it does.

>sneaking
yeah, seems more enjoyable to me than watching my man hit rocks for 10 minutes to be able to afford the bag
>save scumming
I don't save scum - if the icon is blue just take it lmao

Stealing is great early on without reloading.
Stash your shit, get caught, level your toughness and fighting, almost no risk of dying, level up your sneaking and lockpicking, repeat over and over.

I kinda get the appeal of kenshi, and I guess it's fun once you get a solid foothold within the world. I would rather play Elona+ or Mount&Blade though. Kenshi just doesnt click with me

>ywn have a shek woman call you squishy, and break your pelvis while riding you

It's shit, I tried enjoying it but autists pretend and imagine a game being fun because they have severe autism.

I didn't think of it as one until now, but apparently Kenshi is a pretty good pleb filter.

This, i suspect they might be shills or the devs of the game because honestly I have played games like the old fallout and various clones but this game has fuck all content.

>Spawn in and walk for 20 minutes seeing no one

If I run around with armour on so that I'm over encumbered, does that not increase my athleticism at all or just at a reduced rate?

What is with Yea Forums glorifying games with jank mechanics, shit worldbuilding, and "read between the lines" lore? Is it to get some sort've reddit karma-esque brownie points with the other anons? First this, then Atom. Next you'll be telling me you guys unironically liked "Last Days of Gaia" before the patches.

severely reduced rate but you'll gain strength instead

Reduced rate. If you highlight your run speed in the extended info on the left side of the screen it'll tell you how much exp you're getting.

haha so my options are to run around without armour on and get clobbered immediately or to just bulk up strength?

Sorry your imagination is about as substantial as your testosterone levels.

Why would you beat him when you can just sneak behind him and knock him out and claim him as the best training dummy in the game

>Kenshi is popular enough to have contrarian shitposters

It's really easy to get to a point where you can outrun most threats you commonly find.

DO PLAY THIS GAME

PLAY KENSHI AND RIMWORLD AND DWARF FORTRESS

I LOVE THEM ALL

It's like DBZ powerlevels.
The difference between the two is more important than the raw number itself.

>want a worker to operate the automatic iron refinery and do another task
>if i put the refinery first, it refills the refinery after every iron plate made
>if i put it second, it only goes to the refinery if it can't do the first task

how do i make these brainless fucks only re-stock the refinery after it uses up 5 units of raw ore?

what's wrong with Atom?
it's literally Fallout 2 but in Soviet Russia

What's the other task? Refining requires constant oversight from at least one or two characters.

you don't

My preferred method for combat stat training early game is find a sizable caravan and just help them fight and pick off the scraps of new gear as they fight off bandits and die themselves. Play cautiously while doing this and its the fastest way I found to get to the point where you can hold your own.

really its just anyone who tried it because its shit

say I want to be stealing, is it a good idea to stash all my armour somewhere to increase the chances of success? or will somebody happen upon all my shit and take it

>who the hell finds any pleasure when playing this game
Autists from Yea Forums that got memed into thinking it's good. It's worse in near every way than the other games in its vague genre. Settlement building is boring, the graphics ARE garbage, and the game is literally only half completely and has no polish whatsoever.

It's basically the indie equivalent of Duke Nukem Forever, getting released in a barely functional state after 10 years, only in this case people lap the shit up instead of calling it out.

It's terrible from a technological and polish standpoint but it's still rather fun to play for a while
But I'm a sucker for basebuilding

Attached: powerleveling.webm (1280x720, 2.43M)

Stashing in a chest in your base? I'd say it's safe, I never had anyone steal anything from there. Stashing in some chest in some random house somewhere? Never tried it. I doubt someone could steal from it, but maybe the game just "forgets" about your stuff there and resets the contents after a while.

either a couple of 70ish fighters or get a single dude in the 90+ put equip him with masterwork samurai and either edge 3 paladin cross or meitou if you can get it from the holy nation and just run right to his face and beat the crap out of him (you will need the free hit he gives you while his getting up from his throne and can't block )

beep

I've just left my medium backpack at the back of the shop and keep popping in without it to do my stealing and then stashing it in the bag

I don't have a base or anything like that yet

I had the same problem so I made it an objective to build a kill squad and create a fully functioning town.

The kill squad was bullshit so I ended up cheating the numbers up at the end of my game because it was either that or hours of autistic grinding by kidnapping people and watching a meter very very slowly fill up.

The town thing worked just fine on its own though. After that, there was literally no point to the game though.

buy a house in a random town
it'll let you do safe researching and smithing

>no voices

are you a literal babby?

No it wouldn't. Mount and blade is a thousand times funner and has the benefit of actually allowing you to engage in combat.

You're right that's it's not quite Rimworld or DF but those are much better comparisons than the ones you provided. Kenshi is in a limbo where it doesn't really do anything unless you make something of it which is 100% a DF type style.

>sitting at the back of the shop trying to pick the lock off the weapon case
>9.3% chance success
>now I'm on 11% chance and up 5 lockpicking levels

wow this is more efficient than the training dummies for melee

Can't tell if baiting or actual shit taste.

>requires constant oversight
but it doesn't, i can load 5 ore, call the operator away and the machine will convert it to 5 iron plates on its own
however, if it's his only task, the worker will run to the machine after every iron plate made, place it into the storage and put another piece of ore in the machine

Man it's optimized pretty poorly which is my big downside.

Training dummies are the worst at everything.

Just wait for Kenshi 2 goy

I was tempted to buy it because it was the closes I could find to Warband.
But instead I reinstalled Warband.

Are all the mods on steam or am I free to pirate?

If you were to have a child right now, that child would be able to legally post on Yea Forums before Kenshi 2 is released.

Make it mine iron and then bring it to the refinery, so it'll fill up the space and then walk it there
But shit gets fucky when you scale it up, eventually you just get dedicated dudes for stuff and ignore the loss of efficiency
