I made a skeleton only save, anti slavers to destroy UC, HN and any form of slavery, most skeletons I found (error 0xffffff, screamer, ponk, ashland skeletons etc, HN robots) worked well however, when I finally saw a P4 Unit at a bar I was overjoyed to get my hands on the very rare vanilla P4 generic recruit.
Then, I clicked on it and... no dialogue. It was a TRAP! It was just a flavour npc from the drifters faction.
So I abducted the offending P4 unit and brought it home. However, and this is what I don't understand, I stripped it bare, put it in a prison of mine and I get no option to talk to it. I have Ponk recruited so it's not a P4 only issue but I can't figure out what is wrong.
Any ideas?

Este mod incluye razas elegibles, dos canibales y algunos neblinos...

Something I just found out, which feels absurd and MIGHT be coincidence: I tried soooo often to recruit someone by clicking dialogue with the mouse... never worked... done it with keyboard promts now, worked 3 times in a row... either that is the most odd luck, or there is something to it. Maybe it helps someone else.

Very buggy most of the time. I take away equipment, put in the cage, and get 1 of 3 outcomes. A thousand yard stare with no talk option, pops up only once to never return after a week, or around 1% of the time it works every time. One game I can recruit 6 berserkers over the course of a month before it breaks. Another game can give 4 sand ninjas in a single day until breaking. Other times, like my current game, it will work once and then shit the bed.

Tested on a group of empire peasants after wasting an entire week and not getting a single bite. Made a line of 8 cages and topped hunger off to see how long it would take. First one was fine with no issues (prince), but the option didn't pop up for any of the others after 5 days of waiting and most dying from starvation. Reloading, picking up and setting into new cage, freeing then attacking just to put back in, exiting the game, resetting computer, importing save and having to grab new labrats to try the same thing again. Nothing.

I want to know something. I caught a Skeleton Bamid to join my team, but I've been trying to convince a skeleton for days and nothing's happening. Any suggestions? Or can't they really be recruited?

o realmente no se pueden reclutar?

is this mod still active? or at the very least does it work well?

I found an interaction with another mod. I turned off the 256 squad limit because I didn't have large squads. This mod would go through the dialog and then not work. It usually didn't even say why except one single time it said my squad was already full. This mod started working again when I re-enabled the 256 mod. Hope that helps someone.

When talking to prisoners in cages, the dialog is random nonsense EXAMPLE: " , . ! , / ? , " all of it looks like that

lol i haven't played in forever started a game. Needles and Biggie got knocked out by dianium theives, I ran stuck em on a spike. Just started the game and now I have 2 60+ stats characters lol. not even fun have to restart

Are characters recruited by players considered 'dead/kidnapped' in the world?
For example, would recruiting Phoenix lead to changes in Blister Hill?

@Dilda
yes you can and its: common english
then: 1 3 2 1 4 4 1 2 3 1 1 4
Dilda May 15 @ 8:26am 
Why when recruiting: "Error codes 0xFFFFFF", at the moment when the skeleton * shudders*, all the wrong combinations of words come out (I wrote the right words separately and the wrong ones.) always, that is, these bastards can not be recruited.
(I spent 2 hours on this shit)
And so the question is:
Is this a mistake?
Or is it a joke?

I haven't back to Kenshi for a few years, but the mod was working then. It doesn't work in 2025. Dang shame! It was a good one.
suomuhauki May 9 @ 3:42pm 
anyone struggling to recruit drones, for me it worked when i stripped them of all their possession
Damion Wolf May 8 @ 1:04am 
Really cool mod. Coming back to Kenshi again after years and it's amazing to see this thing still up and running.
kukuruzzzzzka May 4 @ 8:30am

HelloWaterSlip Apr 24 @ 2:01pm

lewbear13 Apr 22 @ 8:04am

MrFrengLitch Apr 15 @ 12:59pm 
This mod for whatever reasons makes it where you can use the training dummies from the shinobi thieve tower in the Hub in my modlist. I dont really understand why.
Barabus Apr 11 @ 6:02pm 
why can I recruit all the ashland dome characters besides HAT-12?
無產階級無懼死亡 Apr 3 @ 5:40am 
General Hat-12 isn't recruitable?
Greggory Tame Mar 25 @ 2:59pm

Gorrillo isn't recruitable ?
TazVibez Mar 23 @ 6:58pm 
Fogmen not recruitable?
ARS2000 Mar 23 @ 5:36am 
Greetings! This mod caught my eye, I was checking your list of progress and which are recruitable. Out of curiosity, when you say the difficulty of "easy to hard", and that the chance of recruiting is low, does this mean that the difficulty is tied to how easy it is to do their request, or is it that theres like a multiplier chance for each one?

Is it possible to get a compatibility patch for the Shrieking Bandits expanded mod? I want to recruit the foot people.
Tokatsuki Mar 18 @ 5:23pm 
Im playing Genesis and i don t see this mode in it. my question is, if i put this mode, i need to import the save or not to work?
Gundam5241 Mar 17 @ 1:15am 
And i already looted them clean before put them in to the prison cage.
Gundam5241 Mar 17 @ 1:14am 
@Nanogiraffe Thanks , i will do that. I also have another question. Im recruiting some shek scout i captured in the Event "Return for blood". i have option to talk but when ichose it, they always cursing and dont have any other dialogue option appear. I also try with dust boss and it working well. So the NPC from the event quest cant be recruited ? or it a bug ?
Nanogiraffe  [author] Mar 17 @ 12:51am 
@gundam they should have the same mod name essentially but the steam one is much more up to date. This mod can be safely uninstalled as long as you don't have any non-vanilla playables recruited. But if you are enabling this at the same time as removing nexus then it should be fine
Gundam5241 Mar 16 @ 9:43pm 
@Nanogiraffe im using Nexus mod in my game. Does it effect the game if i subscribe it again on the work shop. it still work right ?
Damned Old Train Mar 16 @ 12:44am 
Does anyone know the proper sequence for recruiting the shrieking bandits and the Dust King?

I keep asking the Dust King about his history and I have well over 100k cats but I can't get the dialogue any father. Tried 50+ times with all types of characters.

The Shrieking Bandits are a bunch of dialogue choices but I can't seem to get the right order down.

Thanks all

Anyone figure out how to hire a high paladin? I feel like I've gone through all the dialogue options but still no success or requested item to hire.
YourLocalChineseProtester Mar 10 @ 5:47pm 
Gorillo wont even give me time of day, he just keeps begging to be let out and no dialouge, I took away his weapon and armor, I keep letting him out and recapturing him to reset it, nothing works. Do I need some skill or a certain race, or am I just unable to recruit him at all?
Nanogiraffe  [author] Mar 8 @ 2:45pm 
@monkey the mod will only offer dialogue for vanilla npc. If another mod changes those or adds new ones they won't be supported.
@pablo are they swearing at you? They must be caged and disarmed. Modded NPCs won't work
