Sensible Quality of Life Additions
The word sensible is overused a lot nowadays so I figured why not use it in the same way that others do.
This mod adds 3 totally "sensible" pieces of furniture you can build in the "Wuz Here" category. They need to be researched (free 1hour each) at any level research bench before they can be built.
Each structure can be placed down almost anywhere and has no cost. Similar to campbeds/fires this includes inside of many ancient ruins. They all come with a unique functionality which has a use range of 1,000. That’s around 3.5 Stationhouses (Longwise) in length. Please note that if you put them onto another floor in a building that the character will need to go onto the floor to interact with them. These work best on the bottom floor or just in the wild.
First we have a storage box called a "Drop Box". As of right now it is a 12×12 storage box which uses the Machine Block model and has a stack multiplier of 100 (Although you won’t really need that part) and can hold all types of bolts, basic and standard first aid kits, along with Animal Claws, Horns and Teeth. It’s used for dropping off ammunition/lower tier first aid kits when attacking towns and the death items from Bugmasters spiders. Shift + Right click the box to quickly autohaul any of these items to keep your bags from filling up. If you Shift + Loot a spider with this box nearby you can quickly kill off large groups of unconscious spiders. This pairs VERY nicely with the third structure.
Second we have an item furnace which can be placed indoors named the Cannibal Cooker. It uses the model of the Cooking Pit in Cannibal villages. Shift + Right Clicking it will give a character the job to dispose of limbs. NOTE any limbs in your bag will not be placed automatically inside the cooker, this is a Kenshi AI thing… Make sure you have room in your INVENTORY for a limb so it will work. Also make sure HOLD is not enabled. Be wary of limbs which fly far distances. This structure is especially useful as when the limbs pile up too much so does the lag.
Speaking of lag the third and final (As of now) structure helps a lot with that. Introducing the Corpse B Gone! It’s a Corpse Furnace which uses the Skeleton Shredder Model. Just like the others Shift + Right Click to assign it as a job with HOLD disabled as well. On occassion your character may try to pickup a corpse they cannot get to. Usually simply saving and loading the game fixes that issue by causing it to move a bit.
Again all of these can be placed anywhere a campbed/fire can be put. So before you attack a town just buy a building in it and enjoy the quality of life of not having to manually throw away first aid kits, bolts and help cut down on lag!
WARNING ANY ITEMS PUT INTO THE CANNIBAL COOKER WILL BE MELTED WITH THE LIMBS AND BE SURE TO DISABLE JOBS IF FIGHTING AN ENEMY YOU WANT THE GEAR OF. Remember that if a body is put into the Corpse B Gone they are GONE.
If you have any feedback, issues or ideas please feel free to let me know.
