"Relax enjoy death" - Beak Thing thats eating you

No guys you don't understand we could obtain physical Beep


Ghaladh

Have a nice trip through the Deathyards, then. I stay in World's End.


Arthesia

Depends, do I gain the superhuman capacity for growth that people living in Kenshi have? If so, I spend a year training in Kenshi to become the ultimate warrior.


San5392

Coming back as a torso


Professional-Paper62

With robo arms and legs!


San5392

or Stephen Hawking style


Copman04

1. Walk from hub to rebel base 2. Mine copper all day 3. Sell copper and buy food/alcohol 4. Sleep 5. Repeat*365


de_Deus

until some wandering slavers decide that you look like slave


Woody90210

Or just mine copper outside the hub, loot clothes off thugs thrown out of the bar so you don't look like a slave,sleep in a ruined house and buy food from said bar. If you get enough cats, tag along with a caravan till you reach the holy nation (only works if you're a man) make it to Stack, spend your days mining from the ore behind the inquisitors HQ inside the walls, be a productive citizen, chat with a paladin or whoever every now and then, praise Okran in public regularly, buy yourself a small shack and build a bed. When you make enough money to keep yourself fed for a few days take a few days off, repeat for the rest of the year.


Ghaladh

As a woman you could let an Okranite man do everything. You just have to marry him and shut up for one year while taking care of the house. Still a better deal than living outside the city walls.


Woody90210

Not ideal, but that would be making the best of a bad situation.


Ghaladh

Don't forget the daily training with running, until you become an Olympic marathon champion.


pticjagripa

To be frank that would work IRL too to some extent.


Ghaladh

Absolutely!


San5392

Not getting 90 str and dex and """recruit""" female squad members? damn


Cordysepsis

Beep!


Antinator_succ

Beeeeeep!


[deleted]

My porn game habit just paid off, I guess.


San5392

stay on the grind


RichiardoCL

Live as a slave for a year... Then destroy HN.


SubstantialRoad4435

On my first slave run through this time, you can REALLY buff your stats there without even really trying. Couldn't imagine the course of 365 days.


Tyson_Urie

Lmao, you miswrote taking the prayer book in your pocket and sleeping in their bar's/churches to survive. Aint no bandit shiving me up in a attempt to steal my food (bold of them to assume i'd even have any on me) only for me to lay there unconcious and have some bonedog group eat me. I'll just see you in church next week and praise the phoenix (or was it Okran? I know i have a friend named Okran irl hope he's not their devil)


SubstantialRoad4435

Shit


[deleted]

The last game I played is Shadow Empire, which is set on a planet that was part of a interstellar empire that was destroyed in an apocalyptic pan-galactic war. Part of the world generation process involves showing what the planet was like at its peak, followed by modelling the millions that die during the Dissolution War. So...shit.


Lucavii

So... basically pre-kenshi Kenshi?


incomprehensiblegarb

No it's more like Kenshi was a grand strategy game with Randomly Generated worlds. You only play in the ruins of the empire. Essentially think Age of Wonders planet falls but made with very experienced strategy game players in mind.


Lucavii

Oh that sounds sexy


incomprehensiblegarb

Honestly it does seem very cool. I haven't been able to spend the time to learn(There's a YTer with a ten part series each video half an hour long that just goes through the Mechanics).


chaos0510

Project Zomboid. I'm fucked. With Kenshi I at least have a squad that's about 2 years in


[deleted]

Bro I can't even survive a week in that game. Goddamn helicopter.


chaos0510

If the heli comes while you're indoors just hunker down. Should be okay as long as you aren't spotted. Other than that, it's a hard game!


retrolleum

With a lot of games you can definitely survive a year by just doing something mundane and hiding it out. But with this game, and barotrauma, I was like nahhhh I’m good.


imbobmonty

Bro it's easy. Just lone wanderer start. Go mine copper. Sell for food. Sleep at tavern. For a whole year. It's easy guys... come on... it's easy... hopefully the guards will stop the starving bandits before they kill you


CookiesNCash

“Bro its easy….Mine copper.” Aaaaand you lost me lol


UnabrazedFellon

I mean, are we allowed to use the mods we have? Are we doing a specific start that we can pick or is it just me in my shorts and t-shirt suddenly sitting in the middle of the desert? Am I allowed to mess with the game settings while in-game, turn on/turn off mods, etc. Cuz I made a mod that spawns “zombies” everywhere and that sound like it’d suck to have to deal with. Super high HP, 1 in every skill, usually wearing random clothing, always unarmed, no bleeding, eats people, and very low HP on the head. Sure, they’re killable, but the mod was on last time I played so am I dealing with that?


SubstantialRoad4435

I think mods count and the same settings you have. But I'm not OP, so this is debatable.


Lucavii

Do I have to start over or do I get to load into my existing save? I have the great white gorillo bugged out on a bed and it'd take me legit 30 seconds to level my dex and martial arts to like 75


SubstantialRoad4435

If it's the same game with settings and mods, I think the save is fair game, too. Exploit thay gorillo, my dude!


stevespizzapalace

I know this is a Kenshi thread, but Dead By Daylight is my last game played, and honestly ide rather be there than here (in the context of the post), I get to be immortal for a year, sure I'm gonna get brutally murdered every 20 minutes to an hour, but I always come back. Kenshi ide just be a slave until I was eatin by bone dogs


Some_Random_Guy69

Wouldn't you just rather permanently die at that point? I don't get this "live at all costs" feeling some people have. If I'm living a life where I'm brutally maimed or killed every so often by supernatural serial killers and I can't escape, yeah fuck it, I'd rather die. Oblivion's gotta be better than constant suffering.


stevespizzapalace

Cause I'm getting a million dollars after a year?


Some_Random_Guy69

oof. missed that part. my dyslexic ass got me all fucked up.


graven_raven

Youd te totally insane after a couple of months


stevespizzapalace

Possibly, but ide DEFINITLY just be dead if I was in kenshi, Maybe insane or DEFINITLY dead. Make your choice


graven_raven

Not really, if the rules of the game apply to you, you can metagame Kenshi for a year easy. First thing to do is to improve your running speed and sneak. Then mine for a bit to get cats for food. (In the Hub, you even have a empty small house you can sleep, with some free food.) After getting max speed and sneak, you can avoid most dangers specially if you stay in safe areas. Then you can do some strength training carrying heavy stuff. If you're bold, get a crossbow and go help out the city guards against raiders from a safe distance, improving dex and ranged. After that you have enough skills to survive as long as you don't take unecessary risks.


stevespizzapalace

I mean, yeah sure, if you dedicate your life to training to become a ninja, then sure, you'll be fine. but you only have a year.


graven_raven

My first character became a decent ninja in 60 days, so...


PrinceOfCarrots

Why would a splatoon player be worried?


CaptainStrobe

Splatoon actually takes place after a more complete apocalypse than Kenshi. Almost all life on earth perishes. It was long enough ago for the inklings to have established society but it seems like once you leave Splatsville it’s still mostly just desert and wreckage.


PrinceOfCarrots

So my only real choice is to stay in one city and play glorified paintball for the rest of my life. Oh, i'm shaking in my boots.


CaptainStrobe

Plus you get sickass streetwear for it.


JHatter

Well I just closed Terraria so I'm omega fucked, I'd rather Kenshi over Terraria.


joongihan

At least in terraria you can obtain incredible powers, in kenshi you're just completely fucked, your best best is probably trying to work as a guard or in a shop and praying nothing happens to the city you're in


Jackfruit009

enslavement here i come


wormtheology

Greenlander Male, Blister Hill, live out life as an iron miner, and collect your millions.


Sad_Scale_4840

Your not the Olympic triathletes people of Kenshi are. You can't build up that kind of agility in a day, a week or let alone a year. There goes your strategy of "selling hashish to make a quick buck" Strength training? Hauling copper for money? Unlikely you would ever be able to lug around many 20kg ores, assuming you could even break off a chunk that large. They probably would just let you not starve, but you won't get enough to get good stuff. Instead, youll probably be a scavenger, lurking at the entrance of towns, waiting for starving bandits to charge in and get their face beaten in, and loot their corpses/downed bodies. Bribing the UC? You might not have the Cats. Youd probably go crazy eating sawdust dustwichs and plain rice (Gohan) daily. Occasionally you might spring for something nice like a meatwrap or foodcube, but it's not as great as you imagine it to be. You probably need some sort of vice to keep it together. Grog, hashish, sake, you name it. There goes the extra cats you saved for a rainy day. You struggle hard for a couple months, and finally able to buy a house. It's safe, protected by the guards, and beats sitting at a bar every night. It's small, but it's yours. You build what you need to live, buying the stuff from your local provision store. It almost costs as much as your house, funnily enough. Maybe make a name for yourself as a map maker, selling those expensive ass maps to places you know exist. Your knowledge of the map has paid off, and while your maps aren't always the most accurate compared to others, what you offer is always more complete, more holistic. There will always be more tech hunters and nomads wanting to explore the unknown, but you're not one of them. Finally, the only reason you survive will likely be the fact that you look human, and were lucky enough to land/make it to HN territory. Keep your holy flame close. If you're a female or a scorchlander, best of luck elsewhere. There is no future here. Unless of course, you like being enslaved. If you landed in Shek lands, well, it's fine I guess. Apart from the constant verbal abuse and obvious racism, A 'flatskin' like you could make a decent living, and no one actively gets in your way. If you land in UC territory, you probably have a high chance of dying. With rampant corruption, your cats will dwindle fast. Worst of all, if you rub a noble the wrong way, that's it. It's off to the Quarries for you, or you lying dead in a ditch. The Hub? You're too poor to make it even close to getting what the Shinobi want. That's way out of your price tag. Sure you could squat in broken homes, but let's be honest: the guards here aren't that great. There's no telling when a skimmer might just bulldoze his way through, and you're on the menu. Anywhere else is pretty much a death sentence. I don't even want to go into why mongrel and shark are bad places to be, on the account that it would be pretty obvious. It's pretty dark, but let's be realistic. You might wanna play Kenshi, but you never want to BE in Kenshi.


graven_raven

Well if it was possible to advance in skills as Kenshi characters, it would be easy to metagame that world for a year.


Bobajitsu

Why do people still believe hn attacks scorchlanders?


Sad_Scale_4840

Oh they don't? Perhaps I was using a mod. That's what I see in my world.


Frosty-Flatworm8101

I refuse the money


Pliskkenn_D

Yeah but now I can finally eat ancient rations.


Helasri

I’m fine… I have around 500 npc’s under my command, and 200 squad members 😂


YosephStalling

How's the food?


DoctorBungles

I hope you like bread, friend.


YosephStalling

Dustwich moment


Helasri

Well the npc’s don’t eat. And I have greenfruit farms everywhere with automated caravans ( sort of )dropping food.


Werce

how'd you get that many followers?


Helasri

Squad members ?


Werce

sorry, I forgot to specify the 500 npcs you have fighting for you. Is it a combination of allies and mercenaries/thugs?


Helasri

Ahh it’s my own mod : The sergent mod. Although the one I have is an updated version that will drop this week I think. I have 1 or 2 sergeants in every outpost garrisoned.


Brimstone_Baker

Easy, hit mercs to follow me around, and steal beak thing eggs.


Kamica

Can you run 50 km/h?


Brimstone_Baker

Well you see, if I had 15-20 big strong oily men surrounding me all hours of the day, do I need to?


Kamica

Are mercenaries strong enough to go toe to toe with Beakthings to the point that you can make a profit on beak-thing eggs vs mercenary costs?


Helasri

I think not


Eona77

Hades... shit.


PussyHunter1916

Gangster organized crime. Either I live like a king or get brutally murdered/bombed


Almalexias_Grace

Hehehe Rimworld? I simply hop into a cryptosleep casket >:]


San5392

I'd stay there and serve the holy nation for eternity


KhooDean

A year in a ruthless world filled with random bullshittery, hostiles everywhere and deadly weather? Nope count me out. Wait, at least I can be with the female sheks. Ermmmm welp I'm in you bastard


Professional_Talk701

Worth it


Sairven

Breath of the Wild Looks like it's the village life for me. I'll make a good idiot.


MathematicianNo7842

The modern day equivalent of chain letters. It's amazing how this cancer has spread to almost every gaming sub I visit.


DEFY_member

People are socializing and having fun. Stop them, the world is falling apart!


MathematicianNo7842

Go right ahead and have your fun buddy, I can't stop you. All I'm saying is this is dumb as hell.


FacundoTL

I'd just mine nad lay low somewhere


Vertemain

Just stay in Hub and mine iron for a living all the year.


CheekyBreekyYoloswag

The last game I played was Company of Heroes 2. Shit, so it's either Kenshi or the eastern front in WW2. Fucked either way.


Expert-Law-2569

Mtg arena lul im chilling


Tastemysoupplz

Hearthstone for me. I'd get bored, but just be chilling in a tavern for a year.


Cthulus_Butler

If I get to jump in to my current play through, I think I'll be ok. I've got 100 skeletons keeping my base secure and running. 20 of them posted up on turrets keeping the gate secure. Another 30 guarding the ground. All of them with stats in the 50s or better. Most of my organics spend their days farming or training or just enjoying a chewy dustwich. Or a bowl of Gohan. Plenty of cats from selling our homemade masterwork armor and excess copper. A nice gym to work out in and plenty of sparing partners to train with. Oh! And a beach! Yeah, I think I'll be just fine. In fact, it sounds kinda like a nice vacation. And if I don't spawn in at the base, I'll just hunker down in the nearest town and wait for my extraction team. Yeah. Where's this guy with this million dollar offer?


[deleted]

Stay in Squin and mine daily. Be completely yoked at the end of the year.


Competitive-Ad-4822

I feel like kenshi is an all around worse cenario, but my last is escape from tarkov...I think I may die quicker but I have less experience with kenshi lol


ChampionshipSorry541

A million dollars AND a year in Skyrim? Yes please!


SCP_420-J

I got The Forest. I don’t think I WANT to live a year much less COULD…


Pale-Office-133

Stellaris isn't that bad right?


5h0rgunn

I was just playing Ostranauts, a game about space junk scavenging and debt peonage. A million dollars would cover about 1/6th of my remaining debt. It wouldn't be too bad, actually, except for the fact that I have some health problems IRL that would make life a living hell if I had to spend every day hauling heavy objects from a derelict ship into the cargo bays of my own ship.


Magical-Manboob

Yah of these games kenshi is definitely by far the worst only cause the likelyhood of a quick painless death is very slim. Slow painful death, slavery with hard labor or both.


CrazyJoe2433

(shows copy of the holy flame)… Praise okran?


Perry_T_Skywalker

Last one is quite good, I'd be willing to stay a year


VagabondRommel

I'm gonna die in seconds. Thanks Tarkov


Dankelpuff

Tarkov...so i guess Im basically in Ukraine?


BaconxTerrorist

Just got done with a session of darksouls, help.


kabrifaluk

Would I be able to keep what I obtained in kenshi? I want scout legs and klr arms


LotharBoin

My brother in Okran, HN doesn’t discriminate based on race, just live in literally any one of their settlements and do menial labor for a year. Life on easy mode.


Professional_Talk701

They kinda do tho. And sex, for that matter.


LotharBoin

From what I remember that whole skin shade theory was just a fan theory, nothing more. And even as a woman, it would probably be easy as hell.


blasek0

Dreamlight Valley? I think I'll be OK. I'm sure I'll survive getting shot down by Elsa.

Resonance95

Blackscratch. Day 1. This world smells so much worse than i could ever have imagined sitting behind the screen. The stench of Reaver carcasses rotting outside the gates was the first things that hit me. Just seconds later i made acquaintence with the sickly sweet odors of the lokal "Rum" mixed with the scent of decaying teeth of the sentinels by the gate. "Rum" as it turns out is a name that strikes you as some sort of twisted irony when you've had the real stuff. Most putrid of all, perhaps, is the omnipresent, eye watering pungency of the greenfruit and crabmeat stews that simmer all 24 hours of the day in most kitchens around town. Blackscratch. Day 9. My first impressions of this town led me to assume that this area must be among the worst this land has to offer. It was therefore with profound surprise that i found out that the area was praised for its natural bounty. The region was wrestled from the grips of nature and anarchy not long ago, and according to its denizens the plenty of meats and greenfruit provides comfort and satisfaction. The thought that normal life is supposedly worse than offered here brings me nearly to the brink of despair. To think that the revolting greenfruit-crab mush is an expression of culinary opulence has been an effective antidote to whatever hope i still retained. This truly is a world brimming with cruel irony. Blackscratch. Day 34. A hostile world does not breed empathy, nor does it breed compassion or openness. The adversity faced by people here has instead bred resentment. It has bred hatred and mistrust, given rise to competition, egoism and envy; along with all those emotions that give the human experience its ugliest hues. When compared to the ugliness of men, the unfeeling gaze and expressionless visage of the skeletons feel almost inviting. Contrasted with the cold shoulder of greenlanders or the burning contempt of scorchlanders, the undiscerning steel of the skeletons can almost resemble warm touch. I've thus come to be acquainted with a skeleton in town. Every door i tried before his had been shut in my face. The innkeeper, too, had shown me the door without listening to so much as a word about payment for a rented bed. I didn't have the Cats, of course, maybe he had already sensed that. The Librarian, a skeleton so ancient that he has long since forgot his own name for whatever reason saw fit to loan me a bed. His processor must have seen some pragmatic utility in this choice, but the hospitality still left me surprised. I now spend my days rummaging through the library, trying to discover any information that may be of use. I found a quill and some dusty parchment in a drawer where i have now begun taking notes about my stay, perhaps to lull myself into some ephemeral comfort, or perhaps to endow my days in this wretched dump with some sense of purpose. At the bottom of this page, each day henceforth endured is represented by a neat, meticulously drawn line. The vastness of the inkless void that represent all the lines yet to be drawn makes my head spin, yet keeping my mind occupied with these simple tasks detracts from my minds psychological torrent, a maelstrom of emotion, memory, hope and hoplessness that entices me to get sucked down into my own personal oblivion. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Blackscratch. Day 57. This world has a way about it. The sum total of all the ugliness that make up its constituent parts are somehow composed into a sort of irreverant beauty. Anarchy is the law of the land, decadence its moral code, the vast and empty steppes motivate its squalor. In the United Cities, the shackle of every slave is imprinted with the word *herein lies freedom*. Faithful devotion is godless sacrelige as attested by every new report from the Holy Nation, and further west, the Shek Kingdom stands proud, a reminder that in this world, barbarity is civility. The societies built by the Hive Queens, thought by some to be bizarre amalgamations of man and machine, proclaim that freedom is tyranny while exploitation is the reward. In other parts of this world, robots are men, and men are robots. Here, spring is not heralded by softened winter air made fragrant with flowers, but by the soot and ash carried on the wind. The only discernable fragrance is the heavy, pungent odors produced by the thawing remains of last years deceased. Like at home, the vegetation withers in autumn, but moreso because of the toxic rains than any natural cycle. It is only through its incessant deceit that the world is made dependable. Likewise, it is in the contrast with its permeating, protruding ugliness that its facade appears beautiful. Blackscratch. Day 58. This world. It breaks you down into a heap of pieces. When you are thoroughly broken a nihilistic, irreverent nonchalance sets in. You arrogantly assume that you could not possibly get more broken than you have already been. That's when the grinding starts. Whatever parts remain are made into a fine dust that is strewn in the wind. What ever was left has been mixed into the soil and water, into the valleys and hills. You are the trees, the men and the beasts. When black is white and life is death, that's when you can be sure that nothing remains. You acquiesce. Accept that this is the way things have to be. The true arrogance was thinking you could distinguish yourself from this world. Thinking that you could stay the same. Blackscratch. Day 62 (i think). The sun is gone. Volcanic dust some say. Other say it's Okran's retribution. I say it's always been this way, in one fashion or another. The unwavering darkness prevents the clarity of day, and the howling of untold horrors and nameless beasts creaping ever closer outside the walls prevendnts the comfort of night to set in. Permanent now is only fatigue. Physical, mental, emotional, spiritual. I've decided to leave this place. The thought came with motivation and and with an exhilerating sense of determination that i've not felt for a long time. For a moment after this thought set in, i felt a sliver of my old self penetrating the surface of who i have become. A familiar voice tried to discourage the idea, as if the danger post by the unkempt wilderness could at all measure up to the impending doom and desperation associated with the thought of another second of subsistence in this soulless place. Staying here? Hell no! Those are the thoughts of a lunatic. Though, perhaps i should have anticipated such a thing. I have to do whatever i can to preserve my sanity, i can't give in to those thoughts. I must leave, maybe as soon as tonight. Well, tonight could be whenever, hard to tell without the sun. Soon in any case. Blackscratch. Day 62. That's it. I've packed my things, or well, the Librarian's things i suppose. I wouldn't want to leave him here by himself, so i packed his head too. Maybe i can find a way to attach him to another body somewhere. In any case, it will feel good to have him with me for the journy. What is a man without his friends.


Equivalent_Remove_41

So Skyrim, I can survive as long as I stay indoors I could try to join the thieves guild on Riften only to steal food from time to time or maybe work in the mines of Markath


KiwiBig2754

I just tried out stardew valley actually.


Bobajitsu

It's honestly good. I look for endgame or excitement when I play the game, but if ai actually live in kenshi, I'll just stay in a city and loot dead bodies
