@Kamikaze
I don't remember if i had the same issue, but you can drop food on the ground and your rancor will path over and eat it. Although i don't think it will eat every type of food dropped.
There is also a mod that adds a Rancor backpack and that might make it so you don't have to micro it's food needs.

There`s a problem with rancor. When it`s under your control - eating corpses doesn`t satiete him.

why do I need 4 Building Materials to make 1 chair...

when it takes 3 Building Materials to repair a damaged shack?

@Roger#1 and @Pico

Something I've heard but haven't experienced myself is that the recruit event spawns an actual squad, and that squad can be destroyed en route. As with vanilla, multiple locations might cause destination issues, and isolated outposts can be more dangerous.

@Roger#1
Do you actually have an outpost? I haven't looked into the requirements beyond that, but the recruit visit should appear in your Faction menu as an upcoming event.

can someone explain how the recruitment specialist works ive paid him the 5000 and he says the recruit will go to my outpost but they never show up

Not anything important, but setting the record straight: the race population issues were my fault, I forgot I was using a (vanilla) mod to populate cities to make them feel more alive, which apparently overwrite kathun races. I'll either drop it, or see about making a patch.

@luporafael

Hey, yeah, I just don't know where to put the mod. No matter what position I put it in, it doesn't work.

All the mods work for me to, Lupo is the one that helped me get them in right order and it all worked.

@Dahaka

Hey mate, yes, that is what a meant. You are using the Clone Wars mod.

The Clone Wars mod is not outdated, just need to put in the correct order, with the additional mods that it is required to work.
I can play the Clone wars and I can play the PK. When i want Empire i go for PK went I want the Republic, i go for the Clone Wars.

@Pico

Absolutely.

@Dahaka
Alright, I am glad we have identified the issue.
It is a shame the Clone Wars mod is outdated.

@Pico

Yes, it works great without the 2.0 mod. I used to use it without any problems. But I guess I'll have to do without it. If I activate all the mods in my list, it works fine. Now I finally know what's going on and can enjoy the game again. Thanks to you and everyone else for the help <3

@Dahaka
I found out what the 2.0 file is. It's the Clone Wars conversion.
I always hear that the Clone Wars mod causes crashes because it is severely outdated.

I recommend playing without it. But even if you ignore this, it's still the wrong file. To test if regular Kathun works, only enable the UnknownRegionsAdventures file.

@Dahaka
No. I don't know where you got the 2.0 file from, but it is NOT from this mod.
To disable the 2.0 the file, simply click the checkbox to disable it. Leave it off.

Also, try mousing over it to read the description, it may give you a clue to where it came from.

@Pico
How can I do that? If I subscribe to the mod, it does it automatically.

@Dahaka
No. Absolutely not. This mod's file is called UnknownRegionsAdventures.
It says so in the description, and this has always been the case.

Try playing again, but without the v2.0 file enabled. It's not the official Kathun mod, and it's not the Reworked mod.

@Pico
that's this mod.

@Dahaka
What is "Project Kathun v2.0"? I've never seen it before.

@luporafael & Meatshield

Thanks for your suggestions. Unfortunately, that didn't really work. I did have some mods I hadn't installed, but even with the mods, it still doesn't work. The same goes for the fix. What I find strange is that every time I check the game for errors, a file is missing. It keeps requesting it. I'll also take a screenshot to show the sequence. Maybe that will help: https://imgur.com/a/iPGumDb

@Dahaka
Just thought i would throw this out her as it fixed my CTD issues when i was playing this mod, my crashes would happen randomly and almost whenever i tried to render a city.

https://www.nexusmods.com/kenshi/mods/506

Just be sure to read the comments if you do use it as i think some ppl had issues, but i just installed it with Vortex and i was good to go!

Hey @Dahaka

You are using Clone Wars mod. Go to that mod page and see if you have all the required mods. Remeber to leave Clone Wars mod in the bottom of the list

@Happy Coconut
Hay, this is my Modlist: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3598258482

What issues did you have prior. Could you submit your modlist? I don't guarantee I can help, but I will try.

Of course not. :/ I really don't know what else to do :(

I have no idea why that would be happening, sorry. Neither Kenshi nor Kathun have had an update in a long time, so it doesn't make sense that this has suddenly broken.
You were not loading an older save, right? You were trying new saves?

So, I've tried a few things now. But absolutely nothing has worked. This one mod is the only thing preventing me from playing the others. I've reinstalled the game, reinstalled the mods, and checked for errors what feels like 100 times. But nothing has helped. I really wanted to play this mod again. I tried to log into the game as a Jedi. I could take about 20 steps and then it crashed. I'm completely stuck.

The other mods should not cause issues on their own, although I have heard of some larger ones such as the Clone Wars overhaul causing crashes due to being outdated.
When reinstalling the game, it should be fine to download those mods again and try them. They do not make changes to the game's original files, so you can just toggle them off if they don't work.
Just remember to use the import function on a save file if you toggled off some mods that were important to it.

What about other mods? I just created a 501st squad. I was briefly in-game and then it crashed. Before that, I tried the Emperor start and Sith start mods. It failed right at the loading screen. But even without the other mods, just this one, it doesn't work.

You will most likely have to reinstall RE_Kenshi, yes, just to be sure.
I have also recently been having this issue where the game crashes, but the music works. However, it usually happens just once and then goes away. I don't know why it is happening.

@Pico
Hey, thanks for your quick reply. RE Kenshi wasn't installed, but I've installed it now. I have the music now, but it's still crashing. However, I'm now getting a message that Kenshi is about to crash and asking if I want to save my progress. Either way, it crashes. I'm going to try reinstalling it. Will I have to download RE_Kenshi again, or will it stay that way?

@Dahaka
Are you sure you have RE_Kenshi installed? Other than that, I do not know what could be the issue. You could try using Steam's function to verify the game files, then install RE_Kenshi again.

Hey, I'm having a problem. I used this mod before and had some issues then too. Unfortunately, I don't know how I fixed them. Now I wanted to play the mod again, but it keeps crashing whenever I try to start a game. I can't even get to character creation. I've tried different sequences, but nothing works. Even if I only activate this mod by itself, it doesn't work. Does anyone know what to do?

Sorry, my English isn't very good. I'm writing this with Google Translate, which makes it even harder for me to read.

Feel free to make a patch for the mod, just include it as a required mod and give credits.

As many others have done.

Hi, I was surfing the FCS when I realized something and checked. Thun-Ur and Kathunians don't show up in any of the major factions as npcs. Thun-Ur I understand, they're the Shrieking Bandit equivalent for Kathun, but even the Fed of Kathun doesn't have them in their races list; Scorchlanders are set to be the overwhelming majority. Was this just something that got missed over time? Also, there isn't a default Kathunian race, just the 3 ranged subrace options, which isn't a problem other than I love the race blurbs that get replaced by a boilerplate "choose this for X ranged animation." Would it be okay for me to make a patch for the racial makeup?

I mean, personally I have no issues with the cannibals. They seem fitting enough. I imagine most other people just didn't care.

makes sense thanks.. im honestly surprised noojne has made a mod for this yet... O.o

@ramseylance90
If you want to replace them, it’s simple enough if you know how the pieces of their faction works in the FCS. Check the characters & faction file to replace any races that are listed, maybe rebrand/disable their squads. Potentially you could just make every part of them unused and fill their territory with different factions or creatures.

anyone know how to replace the cannibals with another race or model? they dont really fit with this mods atmosphere.

@Cyclops1522
Glad to help!

@Pico

A legend you are! one day I hope to understand the madness that is FCS. I feel like an understanding of that wouldn't have made me look such a fool LOL. All the yellow warnings about messing things up is quite intimidating.

I did drop out of the Kenshi loop for a bit so i did not keep up with the patch notes myself (as we can clearly tell LMAO)

Also, thank you for everything and your patience! I did not know Shogun may be a woman so I will correct my reference to the proper pronouns as I do not want to be that guy.

@Cyclops1522
The reason I knew is because I read the patch notes of any mod I am interested in, and I did so when this update was made. On top of that, I make addons in the FCS myself, so I often see this information.
And on top of the other top, vanilla Kathun already places the blueprint item on the Black Sun NPC, letting you obtain it both ways.

Anyway, I think Shogun_Sorrow may be a woman, just for future reference.

@Pico

Thanks so much! I was able to locate that officially now on his page. And that is fine for me personally for it being black sun unlockable. As I just found their camp and I plan on building a base nearby Stoat and it. In the past I have taken Carbiners and Henchmen as recruits via a cage in eyesocket slave market. So the plan is to use them as mandalorian recruits untill I kill the mandos in leviathans coast.

I guess my final question is how you came to know that it was behind the black sun? As it appears he did not disclose that information so one can assume you went there and found it yourself?
once again thank you for your help and will update you when i got it.

(continued)
You can either edit the Kathun file directly, or you can select it and click "create new mod file" to make a personal addon (I recommend this for learning).
Whichever you choose, I recommend you duplicate the Replica Clone Armour project, that way your changes will not be overridden by Reworked or any other mod.

@Cyclops1522
Kathun Reworked change notes, 13 July:
"-Fixed an oversight of the Replica Clone Trooper armor being researchable without using the blueprints."

The reason this was changed is because the original research project has a description & dialogue implying you're meant to find it as a blueprint item, not research it yourself.
But, if you want to make it researchable yourself, you still can.

If you look in the research category of the FCS, you will find "Replica Clone Armour" also searchable as "7535-UnknownRegionsAdventures.mod".
If you don't see this, it's because you haven't actually opened Kathun's file in the FCS. If you don't know how, there should be guides online on how to find a mod you've downloaded from the workshop and move it to the main Kenshi installation so it will show up correctly.
My comment is too long so I need to split it up.

@Pico

I am indeed running Shogon Sorrow's Reworked mod (as I felt droidekas were too stronk and I liked the idea of prisoner taming.) However I ran that in the past saves and was able to research the clone armor without acquiring a BP. As for your recommendation of FCS, I looked in the research tab and the items tab and I found no calling to "Replica" or "Clone" so understanding what its referred to in FCS that would help greatly. I am a noob and have no clue how to poke around it so it was probably overlooked.


I cannot find anything for the life for me on Sorrow's page regarding any changes to the clone armor. So if you so could guide me to where he has disclosed this information and made this change I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much.

@Cyclops1522
I too can help with the armor research. First check if you’re playing Reworked, since it updates the armor to require finding a blueprint in the Black Sun HQ (it seems like it was originally intended to work this way).
Otherwise, look through Kathun in the FCS and find this same blueprint in the research list. You can create a copy of the research project and just make sure “blueprint only” is off.

@Kitya

I hope this message finds you well.
Just know that you and this mod are the reason why I have about 400 hours in Kenshi. You gave me the Star Wars galaxies mmo experience I never could receive.

I know I posted here back a few months ago but I hope that youre doing okay and hopefully one day you return to the fold and keep working on this masterpiece with collaboration with Shogun Sorrow’s rework ideas. Until then theres plenty of adventures to have.

On a serious note. If a mod has taken the Replica Clone Armor from me how would I find that on FCS? How would I begin? Its not on the Research table for me to learn. (Currently my save is T5 research bench)

Landspeeders are still disabled, if you mean those. I’ve never tried them, but apparently they cause crashes.

Is transport still disabled?
