What would you guys play and why? UWE vs genesis?

[AFK]

Coming back to kenshi and was wondering which overhaul would you guys prefer playing?

[Cattrina]

Currently Genesis has couple of bugs and the developer is occupied on their job and cannot mod. It is minor, imho, but I thought you should know.

I mod a lot in my games but try to stay close to vanilla. Reactive World is the heaviest conversion if that even counts as one.

I vote for Genesis because i know the name and migth have tried it once but forgot about it.

I enjoyed Genesis, but it's more like a mega-mod pack. Some things might be immersion-breaking (like new factions appearing). I'd play this if you're truly bored with vanilla and want to play Kenshi 1.5.

UWE is also good. If you're looking for more immersion, I'd go with this. I don't remember anything being out of place.

Also recc Reactive World, and if you want to self-flagellate (not the other...) look at description of Enhanced Survival Challenge -- tho warning, it is defo not for everyone.
The two do not conflict.

honestly, anything else but genesis, it crams up the map, crams up your gpu, has no idea what kenshi's atmosphere is. If you like an aspect of it, just install the mod that adds the easpect. genesis is pompous, stupid and...dead.

I use none of them because, I don't like mod compilations.
I carefully selected my 300 mods by hand.

This

UWE did much better.

I didn't like how much Genesis change the game but the amount of work in it is amazing !
So i would vote for UWE i always use with Reactive World and crap ton of other mods

[Good Old Jim]

Ive tried both out pretty extensively. While I miss a few things from Genesis Id go with UWE.

Neither tbh. I prefer my own list. Both are way too bloated with stuff I don't really like. If I had to pick, UWE. Anything is better than Genesis.

Genesis's author/ team has no idea what Kenshi is all about and it's pushing it beyond the limits now. Yet more junk is getting crammed in every update.

I agree, I like choosing my own mod list. But do you really think these modders don't know what Kenshi is "all about"? Or maybe they just have a different opinion for how they want to play the game? Everyone can have one of those.

I have not used either of these overhauls, but after I'm tired of my current play through (may take a while yet) the description of Genesis sounds like a progression or growth of the settlements and population into the future, beyond vanilla. At that time I may try it and form my own opinion, but until then will keep an open mind.

Pretty good guess on Genesis. Overpopulation is a thing in Genesis.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but Genesis would turn Kenshi into a totally different game if the engine could handle it. They already are, and users suffer from all the performance issues.

Meanwhile I enjoy a near butter smooth experience at max game speed when needed without a huge visual impact running greater than vanilla visuals while also filling the world with more content. None that add god mode gear, unlike Genesis that breaks balance (but enemies with tougher stats is fine, imo).
