  • This is a little trick you can use to Ally pretty much any faction in Kenshi
    (Note the faction needs a human/oid component in order for this to work)
    Credit for this video goes to "Mehmet Aypar Yangoz (Alumni)" for suggesting this in one of my other videos (found here if you care • Kenshi: Building tips ... )
    Any further suggestions are welcome, and a playthrough may be coming up soonTM, and as always, stay beautiful you wonderful souls!

    Yo just a heads up: you can't do that with the holy nation because they don't sell slaves, so the slave traders are your only option, you don't really need to be in perfect terms with the UC, just with the traders guild and the slave traders.
    Also you can technically force the purchase of animals too, but first you have to do the "undying animal" glicth, by opening their inventory and removing their meat/skin in the same moment they get back up, they will be kept alive and you can then put they inside a cage in a slave shop, they will be enslaved and then you can purchase the animal for a 4 relation bonus with their faction.

      You can improve relationship with the Holy nation using a animal with a bounty tho. Look for a raptor that has a crop theft bounty of 500 and turn him in to the inquisitor or the holy phoenix. He will take him and drop him outside of the building which you can pick it up again and repeat.

    This is one of the things i miss in Kenshi: ways to increase relations and ally EVERYONE! Be able to ally only major factions and not bandits, its like the game is unfinished. The Reavers for example, if you sneak until reach Valamon and speak with him he welcomes you to joining the Reavers, but actually there is no (official) way to do that, its just the dialog and no more.

      Stealing robotic limbs and skeleton repair kits and selling them is EXTREMELY lucrative. In the way station in the Border zone, if your stealth is ok, at night you can stand right in the corner of the robotics shop and clean out the stock and sell to the mechanic next door. The mechanic buys stolen goods so there is no risk when selling. I use a mod that gives shops much more stock so i have much more to steal and make upwards of 200k each night. With vanilla shop loot it’s probably 1/4 of that? Just get a character up to over 90% stealing chance stealing other things that won’t get you killed (or just save scum) and you’ll be set for cash forever without abusing save editing.

    Found another interesting thing with starving bandits and getting them to ally with you. If you get a chance to talk to a starving bandit and you have the option to give them dried meat, it will raise your relationship with them for a certain amount and you will receive the dry meat back… And also have an extra dry meat for each time you talk to them and do this. After talking to them about X amount of times I was their best friend and was able to feed my bone dogs for months in game.

    Im fairly certain everyone whos played this game for a while considers this trick as "the norm". The more interesting question (and a video about) would be...
    ...who can we recruit using this trick? Specifically, can we recruit pink ants (southern hivers)? Or... maybe one of the skin bandits? Or cannibals? Who will DEFINITELY not join us after being tossed inside a slaver shop?

      Anything that has the recruitable package attached to it and is correctly understated (IIRC overall combat stats lower than 75 or something like that) has a chance to join you. Southern Hivers can be allied and joined, anyone that has a humanoid figure and a faction diplomacy bar can also be joined and recruited as long as those above conditions are met.
      I'd definitely check wiki though cause it's been a while since I bothered pushing recruitments/testing stuff in this game for fun. Now I just kinda chill and play.

Cannibals fit the bill. I could even plonk a base in the deadlands and i wouldnt have to bother with the stupid coats and cowls all day. Weather can be a real bitch in this game...

      Something like that right? which means their total stat combination of those 2 will never exceed a stat total of 75 (as emasured by the game) so statwise they are recruitable.

Assassinate, "DO NOT SELL" to slavers, just drop them in front of slave shop. They do not join you if you're the one that sold them to slavery. You only get a 40% chance of joining you if they have a honorable personality. Traitorous is 0% chance. I'm not too sure about the the other personality types, but they are lower join chance than honorable.

      If the Race/Faction has some intelligence and awareness they can be recruited this way.
      So Southern hive is possible, Fogmen for example, are not.
      Wether it's because they technically aren't aware enough, don't have a faction bar reputation bar, or some other reason I couldn't tell ya.
