Are there any mods I should know about before I begin?
About to play this for the first time
go in blind faggot
its shit
Refund it while you still can
the refund mod
Maybe darkui - but really you should go in modless. It's plenty complicated already and the worthwhile mods just build additional systems onto the game.
got fucked by hungry bandits
You literally need a mod to make the game run less like shit cause the dev abandoned it
Play it vanilla, but there are a bunch of cool mods you can add later, such as more combat animations, darker nights, super fucking strong monstrosities and more bounties, all in all, add shit that will get your party wrecked if you fuck up. It's fun
see the description in sseth's video for a modlist
I tried it, and I gotta say. You have to be able to play this like a true hobby to get anywhere. I'm talking 500 hours. I didn't see how that's worth it when its mechanics aren't that rewarding. Although if you already like this genre you might be more into it. Also the base game is complex and the mods don't make it any easier to understand. Truly the genius NEET's game.
I played for 24 hours, made a small outpost , fended off attacks for awhile. Just felt burnt out and haven't played in a long time. I honestly couldn't recommend it .
its just a retards DF. Like rimworld. Chill out retard
>Also the base game is complex
It isn't, it's actually very shallow and void of content.
>256 Recruitment Limit
>Recruitable Prisoners - with dialogue
>TameBeasties
These are all pretty much a must-have and add features that should really have been in the base game. Unleash the Hair is nice too, but it just 'fixes' a visual issue of hair disappearing if you wear a bandana, so it's not necessary or anything.
Based user thank you, are you excited for the villain update
There's a mod that compresses the textures at virtually no graphical expense. It reduces load times hugely, makes the game a lot more smooth. Other than that I'd go vanilla at first- get the intended experience, then decide after if you want to start making things different.
>true hobby
>500 hours
The absolute state of Yea Forums
Do you remember the name of the mod by chance?
Pretty sure it's something along the lines of 'compressed textures' but I only heard about it after I was done with Kenshi. Shouldn't be hard to find anyway.
If you see a break thing, run away.
>tfw phone poster
Beak thing. Fucking hell
i played 236 hours before the final map quarter was released and killed every big boss and i can assure you most of those hours werent on the same save file
>18+ female body
>boobs bounce
>compressed textures
These are the only 100% necessary mods, the rest are to your taste.
god this game was fun.
Wish could still play it desu.
bouncing boobs if you can get it
the author turned into a faggot when the game became suddenly popular and removed the mod, but some people who had it downloaded managed to save it thankfully
this game is literally unplayable without bouncing jiggling tits
I'm excited for magic. Hopefully within 5 years.
god i wish this game was fun.
still play it desu.
