When I was looking at the list, I figured “crop fencing” was a mod that made it easier to sell stolen crops, cause like realistically it shouldn’t be THAT hard to sell stolen vegetables.

Some of these mods are ancient.. but Dark UI has been mandatory for me since it was released. I sometimes forget it is not the default game UI tbh.

One of my favorite mods ever is a mod called organic limbs. Lets you craft prosthetics out of severed limbs, and I simply love love love mixing and matching limbs. Also now I have a habit of collecting limbs, which gives me a newfound appreciation for the peeler.

Also yeah these mods are pretty short, basic and old. I clicked on this tier list hoping to find some great mods I mightve missed out on, but nope.

It would be interesting to hear your perspective on more "overhaul" mods. Genesis, Universal Wasteland Expansion, Kaizo, and Living World. At this stage, most Kenshi fans are looking for that 2nd, 3rd, 4th playthrough. Wow, looking at your videos, you and I have a surprising amount of overlap in the games we enjoy. You may enjoy "Stalker Gamma." Just finished a Starsector playthrough with a bunch of mods. Great game.

great vid. just started falling down the Kenshi rabbit hole, and will probably be looking into 80% of these mods.

Re_kenshi isn't popular but it is incredible. It provides attack slots, performance improvements, customisable speed options, further camera distance scroll and fixes the RNG bug (Same NPCs in same locations even non unique)

[aidan]

I don't understand people's obsession with Dark UI. Its ok I guess but not even close to mandatory. I have it and will probably keep it because its whatever and it definitely doesn't make the game any worse, but I never had any problem with the vanilla UI. I didn't feel like the dark UI was a significant improvement. It was fine before and its still fine.

I'm thinking about getting into modding, gotta great idea for a group of brutal hash smoking monks the Monks of So-Hy. They do stuff like requiring a tribute of hash that has to be farmed by the PC with increasing quota's otherwise they will launch invasions on the PCs base that can be a little brutal.

best youtuber on these things no silly voices no acting silly or trying to be funny thanks for your videos

[Backyard_Auto]

You should do a tier list of your favourite base locations in kenshi. Could make for a cool video.

[samarcuri]

The most important mod. No sound from flies. It was forgotten.

[bobthebox]

When thinking which mod would be deserving of S tier, I thought to myself that it should be a mod that everyone playing kenshi would always want installed, no matter their playstyle or personal preference.

Compressed textures seemed like the obvious pick for me:
-Cuts down on loading time
-Doesn't rely on personal preference or a certain playstyle

When you said that you don't use the mod and that you're putting it in B tier, you managed to kill me twice in the span of 10 seconds

[DevvuInTheDetails]

God, this video is so good for sorting out useful mods. Thank you for making it!

[Z_lax]

Am i the only one that figured out that building a well and a tank on 2 sides of your base and having 1 person hauling water set to "walk" (you get the same XP as going full speed) while all the others follow him with the trader back pack filled with ore carrying a dead animal.
faster than the benches.
just delete the tank once it hits 100 and you don't have to deal with all that water.

[mles]

This list brought a lot of mods that went under the radar. I love the fact the mods focus on making the game better or fun. You even went the extra mile of giving your opinion without just saying, "Its bad" or, "It's good." You actually explain why

[ibitayooladipupo]

The video would have been better if you've added a game play or image to actually showcase what each mod adds to the vanilla game.

[fargoth]

Genesis mod is just loaded with the most nonsensical garbage that doesn't belong in the Kenshi world. It's so bloated with unnecessary, bizarre, and utterly downright horrendous mods that will 1. crash your game, 2. corrupt your save later on, 3. render entire cities uninhabitable because of fps death. It also makes EXTREMELY MAJOR changes to the landscape, which impacts pathfinding worse than what it already is. The new NPCs and locations are terribly buggy where buildings will be clipping inside of each other, NPCs will be attacking their own faction which effectively causes a civil war (I don't even know how this would be possible based on looking at FCS, but hey, this is genesis, the buggiest mod ever made.) Overall, nothing it adds would measure up to even mediocre quality. Absolutely horrendous.

[warhammerguy]

One of my favourite mods is the "Outlander" viking mod on the steam workshop. Adds a small viking inspired faction, new game start option, their gear and a small village for them. They can sometimes be seen fighting the berserkers in mass melee's in Berserker Country which adds a reason to travel there. But mostly it is for the gear.

Yet they feel completely natural in the world of Kenshi the way their gear look and act. It does not feel like someone just copy pasted vikings into Kenshi.

The weight training mod and vanilla strength train both suck. If you load up a heavy backpack you can just run around a friendly town completely safely, even safer than in your own outpost. Or, just run around your own outpost with the backpack on. I don't really see a way to make strength training great, but either way weight bench is a lot more fun than the tedium of micro'ing a person to run up and down squin over and over

[lewisrobinson]

I have the weight training mod but never use it. I just rush get a bull or garru and fill their pack with water, take the pack off and put it in the trainee’s inventory and have them carry a dead body while set to haul water or work various farms etc…
