Thanks, Chumbo!
Easy recruitment for rare NPCs
Want to get your hands on some recruits in the field? Be kind to strangers! If you use First Aid or Repair on one of the characters listed below, you’ll have the option to speak with them for recruitment. Each one has lots of unique dialogue, as well as their own rules. Well, okay, the UC characters all share the same dialogue. Anyway…
All: NPC must be injured, but conscious. They must not be a slave and must not be your prisoner. You can only recruit individual types once every 48 hours, but you can also recruit the other types during that time. For example, you can only recruit one Peasant every 48 hours, but you could immediately go recruit a Lost drone and other types.
Special Rules
Peasant / Empire Peasant: (Don’t be a slave.)
UC Squatters: (Same as above.)
Lone drifter
Lost drone
Holy Farmer wife: (No skeletons / prosthetics.)
Starving Bandit + Leader: (Mustn’t be hostile.)
Starving Vagrant: (Same as above.)
Escaped Servant: (Recruiting = -3~5 HN rep.)
Slave escapee Holy Nation: (Same as above.)
About Starving Bandits & Vagrants: Any new dialogue is based on pre-existing first aid reactions in the game. It is necessary for you not to be enemies with the faction and not to cause the squad to go hostile for any reason. A bit of a challenge at times, but you’ll find opportunities if you keep trying. If you don’t feel like recruiting them, you’ll also have the option to give them money for faction relations.
About Escaped Servants and Slave escapee HN: Their reactions vary, depending on your race. Recruiting them will incur a penalty on your relations with the Holy Nation, while politely conversing can increase your relation with the HN Outlaw faction.
For some reason, the first member of a squad you heal (such as a Peasant in one of their camps) may or may not speak to you. But if you keep healing other squad mates, one of them will eventually react.
All of these characters are vanilla and can be found on Kenshi wiki.
Introducing Petty Bribes Pacifier dialogues to offset the Relations penalties incurred when you recruit Holy Nation Refugees. Now you can give pacifiers 5,000 cats for a +4 Relations boost. The new dialogues are available at any pacifier you need, from Slave Traders to Hounds.
To access the feature, You must:
– Have between -10 to -40 Reputation
– Come back again in 48 hours if you want another boost
This bonus feature has been released as a separate mod for those not interested in
Thanks, Chumbo. However, the Chumbo version gives lower Reputation for a lower price, for balance purposes.
