KenshiPatcher v1.22
🛠️ KenshiPatcher
KenshiPatcher is a standalone Windows tool that automatically generates new Kenshi mods by applying rule-based .patch files to your currently active mod list.
Instead of manually editing records in the FCS, you define simple patch rules in text files, and KenshiPatcher applies them across all enabled mods for you; generating a new, ready-to-use mod as output.
Your original mods and base game files are never modified.

For Mod Authors
KenshiPatcher allows you to create automated, rule-based patches that operate on large sets of records such as races, animations, items, buildings, and more.
Patches are written as plain text [.patch] files and describe:
• which records to select
• how to modify them
• how to generate the output mod
This tool assumes basic familiarity with Kenshi’s data structure as seen in the FCS.
Full syntax, commands, and advanced behavior are documented separately.
