Slave Traders

[Weizen1988]

Should they be able to shackle people while I am carrying them? One of my fighters went down in the middle of my town, i send medic to heal and carry him to safety, he heals him, starts carrying him to a bed. Slaver runs up "youll make a nice slave" and enslaves the guy while he is being carried. I promply picked the shackles, but still, what the hell?

yes slavers behave very strange they just instantly cna run to anyone, slap those shackles ona nd boom, instant slave tagged.

However a bit funny is you can unlock the shackles, beat the salver down and put those shackles in shoe slot.

While this doesnt makes him your slave, and the shackles stay unlocked, he turns into a slave by labelling. I should try to experiment how various factions react to an slave labelled slaver, esoecially other slavers xD

So basically kill all slave traders on sight or else they will steal random squad members while you are busy fighting cannibals and clearly ignore the "private outpost" setting. Been hoping to avoid open conflict with anyone, because my walls seem to work absurdly, everyone has to run out one of the gates in order to come back in before they can go do whatever task ive assigned for some reason, makes responding to threats a little slow and awkward. if I close the gates a bunch of people go nonresponsive. Guess I just spam wind power and batteries, turn like half my guys into crossbow guards on the walls. hope to kill them as they approach.

I have the same issue. Rebuilding your mesh usually solve the problem (you need to stop them running to the door if they were already in the process of doing so). It's ctrl+maj+f11. Should be the number 1 tutorial tip the game gives, it's very useful.

Usually it solve the issue. Once in a while it doesn't and someone will open the door for some reason, but I only seen it happen when I'm giving a move order or ask them to build something.

Slave shackles vanish for me as soon as picked. I don't get them in my inventory.

In my games I modded slavers to be at war with every faction in the game, start with no clothes or weapons, and with skills in the 1's, have a 50,000 cat bounty, made every faction be tagged as anti-slavery, removed the AI package to capture people and make them slaves, and am looking for ways to remove slaver squads from even spawning in the first place. It's very easy changes to implement but is time consuming and definitely worthwhile if you don't want slavery to exist in your game experience.

I could teach anyone how make these changes themselves, if you don't want slavery in your game either.

I resent the concept of slavery, but ill just murder everyone who practices it instead, make a slaver hunter squad to raid mines and slave camps. Maybe use slavers in my live training, see how they like being beaten and locked in cages.

I'm all for some boot-to-groin Slaver-genociding warfare but personally am waiting until the game actually has systems in place for it.

Id like a proper system, but I can kill them, thats good enough for me for now, particularly if they are going to abduct my people anyways.

You have to remember, in the world of Kenshi, slavery is normal. That's part of the day to day activity. Being anti slaver is basically being seen like a modern day vegan activist. While some people will agree, many will think you are a clueless idealist.
Basically, the Roman Empire. Slaves are common, and people are used to them. Anti slavers are extremist.

As such, if you go full war against slavers, you are going against the majority. I don't think we need mechanic. I don't see what kind of mechanic either.
If you want to wage a personal war against a faction, you can. You can release the slaves to.

so you resent slavery, and to combat this you intend to possibly turn the slavers into slaves? Liberal logic at its finest lol

Thus the reason that I heavily modified the entire world to be what I wanted as I fundamentally disagreed with it, the editor is truly an amazing tool for us to have access to. I think the mechanics he means is destroying towns/outposts/factions which I have yet to successfully accomplish.

I don't think destroying a city/outpost will be implemented. I remember reading that. I might be wrong though.

Dorf logic, lets avoid getting political. Slavers are just the goblins or kobold kidnappers of this game.

[Papasaurus Rex]

liberal logic is not political, it is just a mind set, while it can be used politically that was not to witch I was refering

If you read my post you would understand the changes I made. I simply made slavers criminals and be at war with all factions with no possible way to fight back. Is it any different than the U.S. justice system? Slavers have a life sentence for human trafficking, etc. 50,000 cats is a life sentence.

sorry for the confusion, I was refering to the other comment about hating slavery in game and instead turning slavers into slaves.
