Can I build my own bar ?

[Cpt. Weiner]

Hi everyone! The title says it all! Is there currently a way to build a bar (with the bar sign and stuff) where people around the world can come and drink, talk and fight? If not, is there any plan yet to add this to the game? Bartender could be a new job as well as shopkeeper maybe. I have a shop already with some sellable items in it but nobody dare to pass my gate even with town, gate and building sets to public. I'm I doing it wrong? Thank you !

no

Shops work best in already built towns with lots of wandering NPCs about. Even then they don't really work the best. NPCs only have so much cats they can spend on stuff, so don't expect to be able to sell super expensive stuff.

Even in a town don't expect to see a ton of business. I don't think the system for that is working as intended. Even when it does work as intended it wont be enough to make a shop counter your primary income source.

Kenshi certainly does do a ton of things, and does its best to make as many ways to play as viable as the world will let them be. But the game just can't do everything for everyone. But the developers seem to have tried their best to make as many different ways to play viable as they can, like I said before.

Because it's not possible.
Even modding it you wouldnt be able to.
Best you can do is setup a shop counter and fill it with drinks.
Thats about as close as you can get.

I think the primary reason would be limitation of the games engine, plus being so close to the final release.

Maybe a Kenshi 2 or whatever game Lo-Fi bleses the world with next will have an engine capable of more diverse things. Remember this game originall came out on steam in....2013? And I don't think they ever updated the engine because that would of meant remaking the entire game I believes.

That's really sad I mean, NPC's already reach the gate which is halfway there! it's just a matter of making them enter a building and sit on available chairs. Even without the micromanagment part which I understand is a big thing to add, it would be just satisfying to see random people going in and out the town even if it's just to sit on a chair lol. Well the game is already a masterpiece as it is, I was just curious about that part.

i'm actually worried Low-Fi isn't considering a Kenshi2. i remember reading a ways back that they had plans in mind for other things already...

can you just imagine Kenshi built on the UnReal engine? er mer gerd that would be the shizzle fo rizzle.

The Dev has never said he wouldn't do a sequel. Im sure he possibly might have plans to do one after his other ideas.
Most likely for the reason you mentioned. On a better engine that can support his full ideas he has for the game.

i would throw my entire bank balance at kenshi 2 on a really up to date engine! that would be amazing!!!

[Bryan=0101]

I know this is a bit of nerco

But is it possible now?

There is a situation called the bartender that you can start off as which would make this seem possible.

i think i saw a bar tender start mod, not sure what its about, probably can make grog a start

John Taffer would be pissed walking into a bar on Kenshi "WTF, you have dust all over your floor around customers" !! "WTF is with this blood on the counter" ! "Why is there a bartender not present atm !! {oh ♥♥♥♥♥ forgot to impourt} " How many Grogs did you sell lastnight than get stolen by Dust Bandits" ! "Why is there a group of bandits holding sabers in a bar where customers visit ?" !!! Dustwich sandwiches ! You expect customers to eat that ♥♥♥♥♥ !

Not sure why people won't go into your town.

The closest you can get to a bar is build some tables and stools ( enough that there are empty seats after your inactive workers sit down)

Maybe stick a shop counter in there with cheap food as medical supplies.

Wanderers / traders etc will come and sit/buy goods there.

[Lonedog]

There are tons of mods that try to add these things. I suggest you look there. Might not be exactly what you're asking for but can come close.

Would be cool if characters had some kind of animation when idle. Instead of standing still in 1 spot never moving. id like to see them sharpening their blades or taking drinks from their pouch or emptying sand out of their boots.
