Layken’s Slave-murder fix
Fixes slavers killing captured slaves by looting their death item.
This mod will only have an effect IF you use a death-item/execute mod
I’ve been using a custom made kill-item mod for ages now (Tainted Blood, an other mod by me) but as with all other mods like mine, there is one fatal flaw… slavery. The issue is that when an unconcious NPC is being enslaved by a slaver, the slaver loots the NPC’s weapons, armor AND it’s death item. The result ofcourse, is that once the NPC is enslaved, it dies instantly, leaving the slaver with a "OH come on!!!"-moment.
You can try limiting as many NPC’s as possible having the item, to avoid them being killed by looters/slavers or deal with the fact that alot of NPCs will die when being looted, contributing over time to kenshi’s "Empty-world effect". Based on a cryptic comment somewhere on the internet, the user probably not being fluent in english, I managed to understand what he implied and use it to make this fix. (credit to Kalims on Nexusmods).
This fix essentially bypasses a small part of the enslavement AI-script, which makes slavers ONLY loot the weapons of an enslaved NPC, and not the inventory or armor, preventing the slaver from killing the NPC.
This is not a solution to an age old problem, but more like an alternative. Seeing a fully armored samurai slave is a bit immersion-killing… but they won’t be dead as soon as they are looted and shackled.
Make of this what you will, I will not bugfix this (there realy isn’t anything to bugfix), this is my way of sharing what I found with the community.
DISCLAIMER! To be perfectly clear, and at the risk of repeating myself; this mod on it’s own won’t do you any good, you will need one of these :
– Kill item!
–Execute Enemy
-Any other similar mod, adding an item to NPC inventories that will kill-on-loot.
This fix will work with any mod like it. Only incompatibilities that could come to mind are mods who radically change vanilla AI scripts related to slavery, and even then I don’t believe anyone would go about messing with these scripts specifically.
