Open world research benches?

[Wren]

So I made myself a nice little home in a town, can't fit a bigger research bench in it though... is there anywhere in the world where I can find the advanced research benches?

[TamTroll]

they got research benches in old ruins like the one in Narko's trap, not sure if you can actually use them or not.

[ReD2222]

Player can't use any benches if they're not their own

[Haethei]

just get a bigger home, I think all of them except the tiny shack will fit one. especially if you can buy a broken building and then repair it yourself to save a lot of money

I suggest researching beds and item storage to set up a little rest area inside that you can use for free while adventuring, I do that in a lot of towns across the map

Solved the issue, there is a mod out there for a smaller tier research bench. Thanks for the comments!

[[NCE] McDerp]

you can build bigger buildings for the larger benches, why cheat with mods lol

[ReD2222]

Cheat? With mods? Oh god... If you're serious - I can not and do not want to understand your point. I honestly thought that it is a vile joke around that some people consider installing mods for Kenshi some form of cheating... :(

P.S. for the OP: Base game Stormhouse is more than enough to place the biggest research bench available (More convenient if placed on the roof IMO).

No one's saying "all" mods are cheats. That's a conclusion you're leaping to on your own.

I'm pretty sure NONE of mods out there are cheats :D A small research bench is a QoL mod imo.

oh there are cheat mods, I know, I've made several lol

I'd consider those as some experiments with the game :D
I stick to the rule that it's ok if changes that a mod provides don't make the player lose interest to keep playing the game ^^ It's a sandbox after all <3

[Cattrina]

yes and Chris is pro modding, not a better way to keep the game fresh.

stop being a cheating wuss and play vanilla you beta manlet

jk, you do you, as long as you're having fun! it's a niche game made with a niche design in mind. Not to everyone's tastes, and that's ok too. IMHO though you should give the vanilla a chance with the rules CH set, then go nuts with mods for *your* ideal playthroughs. It will allow you to better understand why the game was made the way it was, plus help you pick out the best mods for you!

[Gena Cider]

so you bought a shack? yeah you can't fit a bigger research bench in it, i think every single other building type will do. you could also just build a stormhouse out a city and put a research bench on it

Na-a-a-ah I'm fine with my 300+ mods. Especially 35+ different hive color palletes... Can't imagine playing the game without those little buggers :D
But to be honest at least - I started with vanilla and my first mod I ever got working was the "256 Recruitment limit" - cause it made me really uncomfortable with such faction limitation on my end. 30 people is not even a faction imo.

All buildings except small shack and swamp hut can fit a normal sized research bench in them. Even the strange wallhouses can fit one on their roof.
