I want to add this mod, but I wonder if it is compatible with NPCs enjoy more shopping or not, because that one with the Great Rich Men events is doing just fine for me, but an additional mod could come in handy.

@Jango I don't believe so. The OCS creator said that it "allows you to automate mod creation and query data" and "you're still limited by what the data files can do". I believe the OCS is more a tool to make other tools for modding.

Without the ability to recompile Kenshi itself I don't believe actual functions can be created or edited.

does the kenshi construction set can help in that purpose and give more edit possibilities?

I'm aiming to make a reworked shopping economy mod, from scratch. It should be usable but won't be perfect because the wages and shopping system was never fully developed in Kenshi otherwise this mod would already work just fine.

@ourbravestboy No problem. The issue with selling weapons/armour is also that even if npcs are set to buy them, they take up a lot of inventory space and once an NPCs inventory is full they will be unable to buy anything.

The only NPCs who should really be buying weapons are travelling merchants or wanderers as they spawn in with free inventory space and the NPC despawns when they or you leave the area.

But not every town that you can buy property in has random travelling merchant spawns in their region, and most of those that do have very low spawn rates for merchants.

@Gehirn I'm not sure if replies work on here but thanks for the updates on it. Currently doing a blacksmithing shop run and was wondering why nobody was buying literally anything

Reloading the game, or leaving a town till it unloads from memory and then going back does not reset or trigger NPCs' wages. Once they spend their initial wage it's gone.

As best I can tell, the min/max money stats don't do anything either. I've also learned that the AI Goals "weight" stat actually appears to be more like a "priority" stat. That is: the lower the value, the more likely they'll take the action. So with the Shopping action set to 50, they're less likely to try shopping unless they have nothing else to do. It's why bar squads with the "hang out in a bar" package rarely leave the bar to buy things or walk around town.

Ok I've done a lot of testing, and unfortunately it seems that the "wages" value only determines how much money an NPC starts with. It no longer gives daily wages, if it ever did.
This is why people in town are eventually unable to buy things from anyone including you.

If you build your own town, you'll get caravans that come through to buy things from you. When they spawn they get their initial wages so they have money to spend. This is why it seems like NPCs sometimes have money, sometimes don't, and that the shop in your own town sells things while the shop in an NPC town doesn't.

There's an error in this mod. One of the dummy items used to create AI shopping lists, "_dummyitem_robokits" is set to use the ITEM_MEDRIGGING item function instead of ITEM_ROBOTREPAIR. This means any AI set to buy skeleton repair kits of either variety is set to buy splints instead.
It's an easy fix if you just correct that value.

In case you want to have hydroponic crops, that's why you need water

I dont understand why do I need well mod to run own shop in my town ?

Need Import guys!

this good with living world? (i mean no conflicts or smth like this)

NO ONE HAS BOUGHT ANYTHING IN THE 99999999 HOURS I HAVE PLAYED
WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

does this still work? i still have people saying they cant afford anything, even when im only selling trade goods.

The mod is great. However it reverts all character names back to vanilla, breaking every mod that renames characters.

You my consider putting it First at your load order to avoid breaking names.

@A_Trashcan One of problems with these mods is that the buyers don't seem to consume many of the items, so after they buy a few things, they don't have inventory space to buy more. I don't know if that is fixable or not. The Food For Everyone mod would help that for food items I suspect. The only way to solve it, I believe is to import frequently.

Had issues with hive caravans and traders guild caravans getting looped in New Kralia and running back and forth between the watch tower and the outpost (storm house). They would never leave. Please investigate.

Anyone know why this mod seems to lose steam?

Worked perfectly when I imported the game, but after a while it seemed like everyone's money ran out and no one was buying. I literally let the game run for like 3 hours with no buys.

I saved and imported again, suddenly it was going gang busters again.

Any thoughts?

"Potential fix for issues with town NPCs breaking down the doors of NPC shops to go shopping"

I saw this happen in shark by mercenaries and swampers, could be one of the causes of constant warfare. How did you fix it?

Does this mod make factions fight each other a lot? i Keep seeing a lot of problems in Stoat.

Does this mod makes hashish no longer good? because i went to flats lagoon and they offer 77% price mark up for it..... even tho it should be 400%

ive used this mod for about 700 hours and played without it i can no longer play with out this mod i love it keep up the good work the only down side is sometimes i see a character buy like the starving bandits weapon and will have three of them equipped and some times leave them with no room to buy stuff other than that i give this mod a 9/10 im usually to lazy to give feed back but this mod is worth it.

Thank you for the updates

Once again, guys, you need to import your game after mod installation or start a new one.

I have different problem: after some time whole city is out of money. Does NPC restock their money or once I've cleared them out I can close my shop because Ill never be able to sell anything there again?

The mod doesnt work, i am using it and one friend mine... We didnt see any results, if someone can help me nice, but I put like 5 shops in lots of cities, none of them give me any money and i have a big variety of products to sell

Maby add a pawn option so personal stores can buy items off travelers at largly reduced prices and sell. People could run by there shops and see if they "fished" anything interesting. The bought items could then be sold at full price kinda implicatating pawn style shop.

Mod is definitely working. Maybe even too well, cause it feels like everyone in my town ready to buy whatever I put there for any price. Caravaneers and nobles basically can buy everything in shop if you're lucky.

Is this mod working or not? Someone please tell!

400,000 subscribers to this mod does not tell me that this mod doesn't work like some in the comment section are saying. Is the mod working or not?

https://ibb.co/YBmPKtk Screenshot how it is goin

When a squad comes to me from "Shoping tempest", they simply shout "it's time to party",and immediately they run back to the wasteland from where they came. The base is public, the gates are open. What is the problem?

Mod work but Ells no longer bounty.

This mod has been known to have some issues with other mods that have similar functions so its considered Dysfunctional

I'm at Squin and there's barely anyone even coming into my shop. Is this mod obsolete or am I just being impatient? Im selling food and weapons.

Is this compatible with Living World?

NPC keep fighting each other

@Mamá thanks for the warning q.q

Unfortunately this mod was abandoned, is not working anymore.

Abandoned

This mod didn't really work for me but this one here did: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1942135094

Made my Kenshi merchant dreams a reality. Now the Shek people's favorite food is Gohan

One way to solve this @kissykaede is to import. It will happen to other mods as well.

Does this decrease the sell value of raw copper? Went from 90~113 to 58~84 I don't know if its this mod or the overhaul mod I'm using. But this is the only one I know of that would directly effect the economy. Anyway I can edit prices?

I love how the shop mechanic is so broken in Kenshi multiple mods can't even make any difference to it

This doesn't work, even if I have it on the bottom of the load order. NPCs will eventually just run out of money as per usual.

I must export game? I play 4 days now

@Rocki Thanks for answering my questions, I guess when they fix the problem with the guards it will be better than this mod

@MagnusAsakura For now I'd still pick Enhance Shopping Economy... NPCs Shops More has an advantage of caravans also buying stuff from your shop counter and a bigger variety of items you can sell there, though it messed up a few things for my game, for example, guards behaviour making them leave their posts way too often

This other mod is not better
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2164419226&searchtext=
or what difference is there?

is it compatible with genesis?

Can I open a slaver shop with this mod? Asking for myself a friend.
