The Ruin Hunters
This mod is the beginning of a Lite overhaul, updates to come!! Feel free to reach out!
From Dust we come, To Dust we shall return
This mod aims to expand the world of kenshi without taking any of its charm away. Explore and discover more of the lore of kenshi while collecting strong and unique equipment. Give Starving Bandits something to strive for complete missions for the Shinobi Thieves so that their influence in the shadows will grow. Maybe even uncover some truly lost knowledge…
The Ruin Hunters are a small band of Former Tech Hunters that want to find ruins that have been lost to time itself. Though very small in numbers you may find them occasionally in the world. The Ruin Hunters are at the center of this mod and will be able to lead you to the majority of the content. Although you don’t have to interact with them at all if you don’t want to.
There is a new NPC Damascus wandering around The Hub that will help you into the Ruin Hunters.
There is now a voice and a man that speaks out from the truths that he has learned in hunger. He wishes to help those that wander the wastes come to terms with their hunger as well. In a dilapidated outpost not far from The Hub, you can find Blight. Helping him may allow him and some of the Starving Bandits to be useful allies in your times of need. Or kill them, they are Bandits after all.
The Shinobi Thieves are given a face in the darkness, a leader in the shadows. Find him after becoming a member and you will be able to help the Thieves in growing their influence across the continent. Completing a few missions will allow you to obtain unique weapons befitting a Ninja, along with new Shinobi bases populating parts of the world.
Due to the limitations of Kenshi’s engine, quests and true missions are a pain to implement. They are basic but functional. Please enjoy as I lost my mind trying to make them work.
There are 7 new bosses with lore and unique gear to take for your personal gain. You can find them organically, or a main member from the Ruin Hunters can give you insight on who/where they are. You will not be rewarded with Cats as they are not wanted by any faction, but what they carry on them should be worth more anyway. A few of them are also able to be recruited.
Some of these characters are intended for late game so will be very challenging
- 18 Unique NPCs, some of them recruitable Skitter, The Iron Baron, Marrow-Mother, The Northern King
- 11 New Outposts
- 14 New Weapons
- 1 Giant crab that may have wandered up to the Levianthan Coast
- 49 Journals and Data Entries to expand the lore and history of Kenshi. Keeping as lore-friendly as possible.
- 4 New minor World Events that will allow you to see your impact in the world.
- Way more dialogue than I intended to write out
Although I loved making this mod, I have absolutely no talent in Blender when it comes to making Meshes and textures for new equipment. Because of this I have utilized some assets from my very favorite mod authors and have to urge everyone to look at the rest of their works. I take no credit in any ay for the meshes and textures used within this mod.
