Description:

Faction Upgrade is my series of mods aimed at improving the various factions of the Kenshi world. The mod will affect the following things:

1. Weapons and armor
2. Cities and bases
3. Units
4. Dialogs
5. Starts

The Faction Upgrade (Stone Rats) mod aims to improve the faction of the same name.

Changes:

Town

The Village of Stone Rats has undergone significant changes. A bar and a fractional armor store appeared in the settlement, combined with a traveler’s store. There were more guards of bandits, workers in the fields near the village and in the forge.

If the head of the faction is killed or captured, the settlement will be occupied by a faction of Swamp Ninja or Hounds.

Lore and dialogues

Now you can join the ranks of the Rats. To do this, you will need to eliminate (kill or steal) the leader of the gang of Rats located in the Shark. It’s hard to miss him, as he will definitely suit a new face in the city (A little advice. It is better to eliminate him when he is alone, as this will reduce the chance of a massacre with the entire squad, which will negatively affect the initial relationship with the Stone Rats. To do this, take him out of the town while he tries to talk to you). After eliminating him, you will need to talk to Big Al, who will assign you to collect tribute from Shark entrepreneurs.

Every week you will collect tribute and give a part of it to Big Al. If you act honestly, your relationship with the faction will improve, eventually leading to an alliance. However, if money is more important to you, you can take the loot for yourself. By deftly maneuvering between Al, merchants, and your own interests, you can raise money without leaving the Shark.

Squads

Leaders in reinforced armor appeared in the squads. Some gang members may have a crossbow.

There will be faction fighters in the Village of Stone Rats bar. With the union, they can be hired as bodyguards for two days for free.

Weapons and Armor.

I wanted to make these guys’ style more aggressive. And armor with spikes is perfect for this.

All armor and weapons can be found in the faction store.

(IMPORTANT! These modifications are already included in my mod and DO NOT NEED to be installed)

The mod includes the following types of armor:
