Thank you so much. Was so "simple" like would never be able to do it without like help. But when i opened mod thing by myself didnt understand a thing so thank you:D
Hey, I tried to create a start where I have 1 squad containing: 1x Nobody (my character) and 25x Sniperbots in a random (coordinates) spot in the Deadlands. I managed to force start a random location using coordinates successfully, but I am having trouble: A. with adding armour and items (they don't show up on my character), and: B. the sniperbots (I selected 25) don't spawn or show up in character creation. So, I've added Ancient Samurai Armour (chest and legs @ 1 quantity & 100 chance) and my character doesn't spawn with them still. Same goes for the crossbow as a weapon, and the bolts as an inventory item. Also, as far as the 25 dead Sniperbots I wanted to surround myself with (all with starting chest health set at -250 hp) goes, none of them show in character creation nor do they spawn around me when I'm done editing my character. I'm not sure what I could be doing wrong, would you have any ideas? *Edit: somehow the armour, crossbow & bolts appear on the "Trio (The Hub)" start, but not the start mod I created... I think it has something to do with setting the squad to "start- nobodies" and editing the "Nobody" to have all the items. Maybe that's shared with the "Trio (The Hub)" start and so it also gives them the items.* *Edit 2: Yep, items are sorted now. I just had to replace my squad with "start- nobodies" > "Nobody", fixed.*
Wow, what a short and yet informative guide! Thank you so much. One question though: If I create a nobody start with just 2 characters that each should have different stats- How do I manage that? I just left the "nobody" on 1 and renamend the "old man" after putting a 1 behind him aswell. Weird thing is, if I start with that, well, start, it just becomes the normal nobodys-thing. Any suggestions?
Hey! Glad you enjoyed the video. It’s been so long and I don’t have access to my computer anymore, so I’m not sure. I would probably just create a new group altogether.
is there a way to make game start when some faction leader already dead? like esata stone golem and holy lord phoenix dead so we start in a world were united city take all the big city ?
Awesome tutorial! Just made my first start mod! A hive colony group with a queen, gonna go fight the holy empire and united cities now lol Edit: maybe you can’t play as a queen? I’m having trouble getting the queen character to spawn and show up at all, But figuring the other stuff out more.
That’s a great question! Go to the animals section within the game data, find the animal you want, any value above “1” will increase its scale. Sorry for the late reply!
Really well done tutorial, thanks! If you've tinkered with it, have you had issues with editing racial modifiers (+20% labouring/strength, -20% stealth, etc.)? It seems only a few of the ones I set apply in-game. Edit: Turns out the issue was from deleting unused statsbad/statsgood entries. This doesnt play well with the game for whatever reason, but setting them to STATS_NONE works fine.
That was exactly the thought I had and that made me feel compelled to make this video so I’m really glad that it provided something for you, my friend.
Such a great video man. Although I´m having a problem. When I am editing the Game Start, and I add Town, or Squad or anything from that menu, it doesn´t appear selected in green on the right side like happens to you, so I am unable to edit them or eliminate the original settings for the new mods, any idea what could I do to solve it??
I'm really grateful for your kind words. I wish I could offer you a more precise answer, but unfortunately, I don't have access to a computer at the moment. From what I remember, it could be related to some critical settings that impact everything else, like the world state or the game start point. Nevertheless, you should still be able to make adjustments to the file you created. Don't lose hope! I personally had the best results by experimenting with it on my own. While I understand this might not be the most helpful response, hopefully it will give you some encouragement. You could also check out other creators who may have made a more through video!
I apologize for the confusion earlier. After considering your issue, I am unsure of the root cause of the problem. However, I suspect that there might be some system or file privilege that your computer is not allowing you to access. Im lost on this one.
@@Suicynic Thank you very much for your quick response. I've been thinking and maybe it has something to do with the fact that I play the GOG Kenshi version instead of the steam one, although the FCS seems to work exactly the same appart from the mentioned issue. I've been doing some experimenting and it seems that although the things I add doesn't show up on the right part in green, they do change in the game settings, for example the Game Start Town, Force Race, etc... However I am unable to edit characters or squads because I cannot access their menu. Nevertheless, great tutorial video, and thank you again for responding so quickly.
Unless I’m understanding you wrongly, sounds like you would need a dipper dive into editing specifics or maybe there is a nexus mod that does what you need!
@@Suicynic hell yeah! Glad windows 7 is still running strong, probably the most superior operating system I've ever used, compared to all the newer trash haha 🤘
01:54 when i do that, the tab that opens doesn't have the right side active. you have some green stuff and other info, i have nothing, like it was disabled for editing. pls help !!
So sorry for the late reply! Make sure you’ve created a faction, then characters within it and lastly, that the faction will be yours in your game start. Try to follow the guide again maybe at .75x video speed. HMU if you’re still having trouble!
I have since played like 160 hours in it and enjoyed the modding process as well. Trying out some modpacks now since I did everything I wanted to in the game :)
thanks dude, your explanation is straightforward and every step you showed me is easy to understand, wished you a good health and wealth man !
Not a problem I’m really glad that I could help!
my left ear enjoyed this
I literally was about to report to amazon that my headphones were broken xd
I am so sorry, had no idea it mixed down to a mono audio track 😅
@@Suicynic Don't worry, the video is great explained and that what matters. Great job!
@@Suicynic It's a weird exp, but you speak really well and you get through the content quick. Good video
Too bad I'm deaf in my left ear

Thanks bro you are really helpful
is there a way to make game start when some faction leader already dead?
like esata stone golem and holy lord phoenix dead so we start in a world were united city take all the big city ?
Sure is! That’s under the “World States” modifier.
Yes! That would be under a “World States” modifier.
How do I randomize starts? Can I randomize faction relationships?
Two answer you second question, yes. My PC is down right now so I can’t help troubleshoot your first issue, friend. :/
Awesome tutorial! Just made my first start mod! A hive colony group with a queen, gonna go fight the holy empire and united cities now lol
Edit: maybe you can’t play as a queen? I’m having trouble getting the queen character to spawn and show up at all, But figuring the other stuff out more.
For some reason my modded start character doesn't have any of the gear I gave them or any of the stat changes. Any ideas?
How you resize the animals?
(I wanna make army of giant crabs)
That’s a great question! Go to the animals section within the game data, find the animal you want, any value above “1” will increase its scale. Sorry for the late reply!
Kenahi devs know, Modding makes games nearly immortal
SO true, I think I may get back into the game with my new rig completed.
Really well done tutorial, thanks!

Glad you got it figured out and my video was helpful!!! Much love.
Do you have a guide to mod a character's stats?
I do not currently, but by using this video, you should be able to edit a single character’s stats and then assign them to a squad / start :)
Damn that looks so easy compared to other games. With even the basics. Like I've had a phew servers before and this is actually not that difficult.
That was exactly the thought I had and that made me feel compelled to make this video so I’m really glad that it provided something for you, my friend.

Nevertheless, great tutorial video, and thank you again for responding so quickly.
If I do this with the wanderer start, do I need to the the squad editing part of it?
it depends on what you would like to change from the default settings, so possibly.
If I wanted to modify crafting recipes, how would i do that?
Unless I’m understanding you wrongly, sounds like you would need a dipper dive into editing specifics or maybe there is a nexus mod that does what you need!
thanks
You're welcome!
Mans running windows vista & modding a game that looks like its from 2007 lmao
Good tutorial tho \m/ well done
Windows 7 baby
@@Suicynic hell yeah! Glad windows 7 is still running strong, probably the most superior operating system I've ever used, compared to all the newer trash haha 🤘
How do I modify a modded game start
Follow the same steps but you would be editing the characters/etc instead of creating new ones.
01:54 when i do that, the tab that opens doesn't have the right side active. you have some green stuff and other info, i have nothing, like it was disabled for editing. pls help !!
Hmm, try selecting something from the drop down menu, then clicking “add.” Any luck?
@@Suicynic yes, but i doesn't edit anything :( drive.google.com/file/d/1jZLiTIhI_EiI7OzCK2VVyI1zCt_Rs9Ln/view?usp=sharing
You can add a field and then edit that field.
Is there a guide how to do translate mod? Let say JP to Eng
My friend! I have you covered!! Please add me on PlayStation or email me at suicynic@gmail.com
im only getting one character instead of five
So sorry for the late reply! Make sure you’ve created a faction, then characters within it and lastly, that the faction will be yours in your game start. Try to follow the guide again maybe at .75x video speed. HMU if you’re still having trouble!
Wow this game is so moddable what the fuck
I have since played like 160 hours in it and enjoyed the modding process as well. Trying out some modpacks now since I did everything I wanted to in the game :)
Hmm if i can change npc dialogue if i change it to something like driffters can i recruit them?
