California Climate Mod
A total overhaul for Kenshi’s biomes.
This mod makes Kenshi more diverse in it’s geographic features and climates, and more similar in aesthetics to the rural parts of California.
LOAD FIRST, OR CLOSE TO FIRST IN YOUR LOAD ORDER!
This mod WILL overwrite SEVERAL parts of the map, so those mods WILL need to be loaded AFTER this mod in order for their content to spawn in properly. If playing with Cowboys In Dreg, load this mod AFTER Cowboys In Dreg to apply it’s changes properly to Dreg.
If you have any of these mods, your load order should look something like this:
• Cowboys In Dreg
• California Climate
• Cowboys In Dreg Weather Patch (to keep most of the original weather)
• ANY OTHER overhaul mod
This mod changes biomes that are right next to each other to be less contrasting, instead shifting more easily into their respective climate.
• Skinner’s Roam, Okran’s Gulf, and Dreg have been changed to match the climate of a steppes biome, due to their proximity to Vain and Okran’s Pride.
• The Hook, Shun, and Spider Plains are all now a marsh biome, due to their proximity to the Swamp.
• The Border Zone and Stenn Desert now match California’s more mountainous areas, and are less arid in nature.
• The Pits, Pits East, The Crags, and Stobe’s Garden all have fertility, and are more of a savanna type of biome.
• Vain has been made slightly less red. The river is still red and acid, however, so don’t get your hopes up.
• Sinkuun, Bast, and Skimsands now have more desert foliage and are, overall, less jarring in terms of their land textures. The deserts next to them are otherwise unchanged.
• Purple Sands and Berserker Country have been turned into forests to match their geographic location, given that they’re right between the Cannibal PLAINS, Shrieking FOREST, and Leviathan COAST.
• Dreg, my beloved biome, has had a full makeover and is now, perhaps, the most beautiful and varied area in Kenshi. A perfect fit for Cowboys In Dreg.
• Acidic rain is, overall, less common. This opens up more land, like the coasts, to being much more inhabitable.
• Many of the coasts have had their fertility switched to being more green.
