Hello, explorers! 👋
The second half of our 2.2 patch is finally here! The update is now feature complete and will be heading to the main branch once we iron out the remaining issues.

We would like to remind you that if you have mods installed it might be best to uninstall them, since they're probably incompatible with the current version of the game. This can cause issues in-game. We suggest waiting until your mods get updated by their creators.

• Shooting range added. It's a separate location that can be accessed from the Vanno base. It has multiple minigames and also you can try any weapon that is allowed on your security level for free, including upgrades and attachments. It also serves as a training facility with 2 tutorial sections unlocked with gaining Security Level.
  
• New multiple hand poses for gun handling. Improves hand visuals and style depending on grip position and angle.
  
• New sounds for AK74, M4, IZ81.
  
• AK-like guns can have their mag ejected using another mag.

• Changed Realistic difficulty preset not to increase enemy numbers or HP.
  
• Sec level 2 award is moved to a new priority mission in Bolotki Village.
  
• TT bullet speed reduced to match realistic values.
  
• PPSH and PPSH sawn-off have more differences in their stats. (Btw if PPSH is suddenly not shooting, it's most likely caused by not resetting the trigger all the way)
  
• Changed some weapon prices.
  
• Double barrel shotgun variants have more stat differences in their lineup.

• Fixed glowing trucks. (hello darkness, my old friend...)
  
• Fixed mimics not reacting properly to bullet hits.
  
• Fixed lights not having shadows.
  
• Fixed audio not following handheld map position when playing tapes, or Tidemeter alarm sound ringing.
  
• Fixed cassettes floating after being inserted into the voice recorder.
  
• Fixed Lightning anomaly doesn't play its "not triggered" state VFX and SFX.
  
• Fixed Item info panel issues when a player has a cigarette in mouth.
  
• Fixed enemies disappearing on player death in Ironman mode.
  
• Fixed item visibility flickering.
  
• Fixed delivery box indication.
  
• Fixed various sounds being too loud.
  
• Fixed still having yawning VFX and other rest related stuff triggering with rest removed from game.

BETA 9 is now ready to go. This is a smaller, more technically focused update, with the main improvements being centered around ease of multiplayer sessions.

You can discuss BETA 9 and let us know your thoughts on Discord or as usual on the Steam Discussion Topic

We have added in support for Steam Networking, a great feature Steam offers, that allows players to now host game sessions and it "just works" mentality. Port forwarding is no longer necessary when playing outside a LAN environment, so you can just fire up the game, start a multiplayer session, and have your friends join from the Steam friends list. There is also a "Join via Steam" button built directly into the game as well.

The previous networking still exists and continues to work, so joining via IP is still an option for those who choose to do so (it is still required for dedicated servers). Singleplayer sessions are entirely unaffected by these changes and will continue to work as before.


Along with the addition of Steam Networking we have also added in some background visual changes that were in the works since before BETA 8, that we have finally had time to polish up. These changes affect how the background objects are calculated and displayed on screen, shifting from an "always star" focused approach to "local object" approach. It also shifts objects out of the very center of the screen, significantly improving visibility in certain situations. Finally it casts background objects in different phases of lighting, making things far more interesting than before. Also in general some tweaks to asteroid ring rendering.

There are a few general changes based on initial BETA 8 feedback as well.

NOTE: Changes marked with 📡 were inspired by feedback or bugs found by the community!

• Added Steam networking. This allows players to host games and invite friends without having to deal with things like port forwarding on the router.
  
• Added "Join via Steam" button to menu
  
• Added the background improvements Background improvements

• 📡Proximity mines and missiles will now check for faction standing before triggering. Neutral and above standing will not trigger. However, once triggered, they can damage whoever they may hit.
  
• 📡AI less likely now to attempt to fly through an active beam weapon or tractor beam.
  
• 📡Moved the mine field from Trader's Drift outposts to be further away than player warp in radius
  
• Reduced chance of AI ships spawning in asteroid fields (from 80% to 50%)
  
• Trader's Drift regions now start as "known", providing the orbit ring for easier finding.

• Fixed components not being loaded correctly from template if previous vessel had a mount in same location
  
• Fixed an issue with disconnection messages not always being received
  
• Improved handling of errant unrelated game network data being accidentally processed by the game

We will be processing most of BETA 8's feedback. Questions like weapon balance, method and ease of "traveling home", and universe generation options and tweaks are some of the topics we will be addressing.

So... I made a little demo celebrating April the 14th also known as Black Day in South Korea. An unofficial holiday where people who did not receive gifts on the previous love holidays gather and eat jajangmyeon, noodles with black sauce.

It's a comedic satire and I was really conflicted on whether or not to announce it at all, but yeah why not. If you're bored and wanna check it out, please go ahead and head here : https://ceylonentertainment.itch.io/cupid

Meanwhile here's some screenshots to show you what I made

Navigate the winding rivers and dense jungles of Bengal as you build a thriving economy to fuel unstoppable armies of elephants. The Bengali unique unit is the Ratha, a sturdy chariot that can switch between melee and ranged attack modes.

The Bengalis focus on elephant and naval units. Bengali elephants, in addition to benefiting from a strong technology tree, are more resistant to anti-elephant bonus damage than those of other civilizations. Additionally, their attack speed can be boosted by researching the unique technology Paiks, which also improves Rathas. Bengali ships regenerate hitpoints, increasing their longevity. These strengths are built on the back of a strong economy.

Bengali Town Centers automatically spawn additional Villagers whenever each next Age is reached, and the Bengalis can support a larger economy after researching the unique technology Mahayana, which reduces the amount of population space that each Villager takes up. Finally, Bengali trade units and those of their allies generate food in addition to the gold that is accumulated during each trip to/from an allied Market.

▶︎ CIVILIZATION BONUSES

• Elephant units receive 25% less bonus damage and are more resistant to conversion.
  
• Town Centers spawn 2 Villagers when the next Age is reached.
  
• Ships regenerate 15 HP per minute.

▶︎ UNIQUE UNITS, BUILDINGS, AND TECHNOLOGIES
Unique Units

• Ratha – Bengali unique chariot that can switch between melee and ranged attacks. Strong vs. infantry. Weak vs. Skirmishers and Camel Riders.
  
• Armored Elephant – Anti-building cavalry unit. Resistant to most ranged attacks. Weak vs. melee units. Cannot be converted by enemy Monks from distance.

Unique Techs

• Paiks (Rathas and elephant units attack 20% faster)
  
• Mahayana (Villagers take 10% less population space)

Team Bonus: Trade units yield 10% food in addition to gold

Seize control of the lucrative Indian Ocean trade routes and utilize advanced metallurgy as you build one of the wealthiest sea empires of medieval Asia. The Dravidian unique units are the Urumi Swordsman, a warrior wielding a scathing flexible sword, and the Thirisadai, a massive vessel that dominates the high seas.

The Dravidians focus on infantry and naval units. Cheaper Barracks technologies, a strong technology tree, the devastating Urumi Swordsman unique unit, and the unique technology Wootz Steel — which causes infantry and cavalry attacks to ignore the armor of enemy units — make Dravidian infantry among the most formidable in the game. In addition to being able to access the powerful Thirisadai, Dravidian naval power is augmented by increased carry capacity for Fishing Ships and Fishermen, as well as the fact that their Docks and those of their allies provide additional population room.

However, another Dravidian trademark is pure versatility. Upon advancing to each next Age, the Dravidians receive 200 additional wood that can be put towards a variety of uses and strategies. Their Skirmishers and Elephant Archers fire faster, making them more effective in combat. Additionally, their elephant units will regenerate hit points once the unique technology Medical Corps is researched, increasing their longevity.

▶︎ CIVILIZATION BONUSES

• Receive +200 wood when advancing to the next age.
  
• Fishermen and Fishing Ships carry +15.
  
• Barracks technologies cost -50%.
  
• Skirmishers and Elephant Archers attack 25% faster.

▶︎ UNIQUE UNITS, BUILDINGS, AND TECHNOLOGIES
Unique Units

• Urumi Swordsman – Dravidian unique infantry unit which can charge its attack. Strong vs. buildings and infantry. Weak vs. archers at long range.
  
• Armored Elephant – Anti-building cavalry unit. Resistant to most ranged attacks. Weak vs. melee units. Cannot be converted by enemy Monks from distance.
  
• Thirisadai – Dravidian unique warship that fires multiple projectiles. Strong vs. warships.

Unique Techs

• Medical Corps (Elephant units regenerate 20 HP per minute)
  
• Wootz Steel (Infantry and cavalry attacks ignore armor)

Team Bonus: Team Bonus: Docks provide +5 population room

Ride swift mounts across the fertile fields and open plains of western India and unleash diverse armies of sturdy warriors upon your enemies. The Gurjara unique units are the Shrivamsha Rider, a speedy cavalry unit that can dodge enemy attacks, and the Chakram Thrower, an infantry unit that unleashes volleys of deadly metal discs.

The Gurjaras also begin the game with a Camel Scout instead of a Scout Cavalry, and can train more Camel Scouts starting in the Feudal Age.The Gurjaras focus on cavalry and camelry. Their mounted units deal additional bonus damage against the enemy units that they counter, while their camelry and elephants — and those of their teammates — also train faster. Gurjara camelry also benefit from additional armor once the unique technology Frontier Guards is researched.

The Gurjaras also benefit from a variety of useful economic bonuses. They begin the game with two additional Forage Bushes near their Town Center, and they can garrison livestock inside of Mills to slowly but indefinitely generate food instead of slaughtering them with Villagers. Gurjara Docks can be garrisoned by Fishing Ships, allowing theirs and those of their allies to take refuge when under attack. Finally, researching the unique technology Kshatriyas reduces the food cost of all military units, making them more affordable and easy to mass.

▶︎ CIVILIZATION BONUSES

• Start with 2 Forage Bushes
  
• Can garrison Mills with livestock to produce food
  
• Mounted units deal +50% bonus damage
  
• Can garrison Docks with Fishing Ships

▶︎ UNIQUE UNITS, BUILDINGS, AND TECHNOLOGIES
Unique Units

• Chakram Thrower – Gurjara unique infantry unit with ranged melee attack. Strong vs. infantry. Weak vs. archers and siege weapons.
  
• Shrivamsha Rider – Gurjara unique light cavalry unit which can dodge projectiles. Strong vs. archers. Weak vs. Pikemen and Camel Riders.
  
• Camel Scout – Gurjara unique scout unit. Strong vs. cavalry. Weak vs. Pikemen, Monks, and archers.
  
• Armored Elephant – Anti-building cavalry unit. Resistant to most ranged attacks. Weak vs. melee units. Cannot be converted by enemy Monks from distance.

Unique Techs

• Kshatriyas (Military units cost -25% food)
  
• Frontier Guards (Camel Riders and Elephant Archers +4 melee armor)

Team Bonus: Camel and elephant units created 25% faster

Some fixes for things + I want to go for walk. Zullen we nou gaan of niet?

• Centrifuge bug on low settings
  
• "Sharing violation" error while compiling mods

• Should be impossible for the compiler server to stay alive

A Kenshi…speedrun? Yes. Yes indeed. And an Easter one…an EGG HUNT! WITH PRIZES! SIGNED SHIRTS! YES. YES. YES.

Entry dates: 14th April – midnight 8th May

Find three different types of egg. Sell them.

The ten fastest runs at the end of 8th May win an exclusive competition winner-only Beak Thing shirt signed by Chris and Nat.

RULES

• Eggs must be in nests: you can’t just go into a shop and buy the eggs
• Game options must be set at default values. Prove it by showing us the options screen at the start of your run
• Rock bottom start
• No save scumming/no reloads
• You must prove you have turned off all your mods and are running the game entirely vanilla - show us you’ve done this by verifying the game in Steam (right click the game in Steam, click “properties”, “local files” and “verify integrity of game files”).
• Choose ‘Rock Bottom’ start
• You can add as many squad members as you like
• All squad members must stay together at all times. Don’t let a few run off to the four corners of the world
• No hiring mercs (folks you can hire by days)
• Your first game character does not need to survive until the end
• Three eggs means three different eggs from different species. Not three eggs collected from three different locations by one species
• You can’t just buy eggs from shops
• The challenge ends when you sell all three eggs at a shop

Clarifications - 19th April, 2022:

• The game speed can be set to whatever you want, but be aware that this is a speedrun based on IRL time
• Start your timer when the character lands in the desert - character creator screen time doesn’t count
• Once your timer has started, in-game load times do count towards your time. Entries from streaming services such as Geforce NOW (which may improve your in-game load times) will be accepted, so long as all the standard rules are followed
• As stated in Terms and Conditions - Entering multiple times is fine, but only one prize will be issued per winner. If someone has multiple places in the top 10, the next entries up will each receive one prize each until we reach a total of 10 winners with a prize each
• If you wish to do multiple runs in one stream after verifying files and options just once, feel free to do so without having to go through the verification/options-showing process for each run. Please ensure that you add a timestamp for the start of the run that you’d like to be considered
• Feel free to dismiss any character from your squad
• Exploits are allowed, but no shift+F12ing
• Rock bottom start (yeah one more time, why not?)

Clarifications - 26th April, 2022:



Dear Kenshi Easter Egg Speedrunners: Thank you so much for your submissions. We've had A LOT! The response has been incredible. Obviously a Kenshi speedrun is a bit of an odd idea considering the game’s quirks, but here we are. Sorry about that bridge, we know it does some bad things. What's incredible is that you lot embraced the challenges and ran with them, and are still continuing to do so. And what results! We had no idea this could be done so quickly.

Anyways: We've had some feedback on the rules, as you might expect, and we are listening. On the most part, there haven't been any issues, and everyone's been amazing and followed our directions to a T, which we know is quite the faff. We didn't ever want to give massive advantages to those with faster computers but we had to draw the line somewhere. Having said that, upon re-examining our leaderboard, we are going to go ahead and say:

Change the graphics options to whatever you want them to be. In fact: you can change anything in the options screen other than the stuff in the gameplay slider. All other previous rules still apply though: You still must show us the mod tab in the in-game options and the launcher. You must still go through the verification process. It has to be vanilla Kenshi.

We're sorry if that means you would previously have done some runs a little differently, but if we were to enforce the rule that the graphics options must be set to default values, then we'd have to wipe out 50+ runs, and that would be awful.

How to participate

• You’re welcome to stream the video live, or record and upload at a later date, but the entries do need to be publicly accessible
• No editing!
• Please add timestamps in your video description for:
• When you pick up your egg one, two and three
• When you sell your eggs
• No timestamps = not completed

Once you have completed your speedrun, please submit the link to your video here -http://lofigames.com/eggman.

Leaderboard

The leaderboard for the contest can be found at http://lofigames.com/egg. This is a manually updated leaderboard, so please bear with us while we check submissions. We’ll try to update it by the end of each working day (GMT).
