Changelog

The changelog shows what changes were implemented with each version of Kenshi. You can find the changelog in the Kenshi main directory. This list is everything included in that file to date.

NOTES:

• If you experience random crashing, you are probably running out of video memory.  Turn down "Texture quality" in the game options

• No more 32-bit support, it's impossible, the game's gotten too big to fit within the 3GB memory limitation.  You can still access the older 32-bit version through Steam's [kenshi->properties->betas] tab.
• Initial loading time is sometimes pretty long on non-SSDs.  The terrain will take ages to load in and things will look weird/white for a while but once loaded everything should be fine.
• You won't see all new map content unless you import your savegame after an update

Note: The new map area isn't 100% finished, wait a few more updates if you want to explore it at it's best. As a result I've made a last minute descision to not release the very bottom part of the map until next update.

FEATURES

• Active map area has (almost) doubled! New content and factions!
• You should notice a general performance improvement. The towns are still the slowest spots to be in, but they should have improved, especially the Holy Nation cities.
• Smuggling is now a career option. Buy narcotics or illegal goods and sell them wherever they are illegal to make huge profits. (You'll have to find where to buy/sell them yourself)
• It now gets wet when it rains. But, get this, it stays dry indoors.

SPECIAL SUPRISE FEATURE

• Unarmed combat added. It's designed to be a lot more challenging than learning a weapon. Probably will need further balancing, hasn't been fully tested in long-term gameplay.

NOTABLE FIXES

• Overhaul of the the animation blending system, combat animations should blend more smoothly now

• Fixed up the combat movement/flocking system
• Also fixed most of the jittering in the movement system (not perfect yet)

• Fixed a common situation where NPCs wouldn't help defend their teammates if they weren't looking

0.93.27

• Removed the empty weapon smithing techs, they were left in by mistake, it's supposed to cap at mkIII
• Fixed the incorrect rum recipie
• Fixed closed doors being passable by animals
• Police shouldn't lock you up in private buildings anymore, so you don't get arrested again for tresspassing when you are released

• Some small fixes for characters getting stuck in certain situations

0.93.26

• Fixed the buggy Flotsam guard approach dialogs
• Stopped civil wars breaking out in Bad Teeth all the time
• Weapon prices doubled to match up with the armour prices
• Fixed missing edgewalkers description
• Added more treasure 'n stuff
• Using equipment/ dummies in npc owned buildings is now illegal. You need to join the thieves guild if you want to use training equipment.

0.93.25

• Some small tweaks to Scorchlanders
• Added low-tiers to higher level weapon benches, just so its less confusing when you don't have any high level options available to craft there
• Fixed a bug with food getting super high nutrition levels, and then characters wouldn't eat it because it was too good and they would rather starve to death.
• Fixed flotsam safehouse
• tiny additional map content update.  Added some simple tips to the mechanical shop keepers dialog.

0.93.24

• Performance boost! I measured an average 5-10 fps increase.  This is not the main Ogre 2.0 performance update, that comes later.
• Tons of new weapons!  The number has doubled.  More interesting blunt and hacking weapons, polearms added, blunt skill unlocked, old ones overhauled visually.  Rare and unusual weapons to find.
• Weapon types have more characteristics and stats have been rebalanced.  Weapons can have advantages or penalies when used indoors, and bonus damage against certain opponents or animals.
• Characters will automatically switch to their side-arm weapon when indoors, if it has less of an indoors penalty than their main weapon.

SMITHING OVERHAUL

• Crafted weapon quality is limited by character skill
• Crafted armour quality is entirely dictated by character skill (no need for further research)
• Crafting has a critical success chance, if character is skillful there is a chance the final item will be one grade higher.
• material costs and craft time vary by weapon type
• Crafted gear is now "imprinted" with the name of the smith
• Scattered appropriate weapon blueprints around the world

SMALL STUFF

• Labouring skill XP rate increased 50%
• Inventory interface subtly tuned to be a little nicer to use

0.93.23

ECONOMIC BALANCING

Over the last few years the economy of Kenshi has seen some inflation so I've re-balanced it a little

• Recruits cost a lot more to hire, it's not so easy to rapidly get a bigger squad early on.
• Cost of books is doubled
• Bounty amounts for crimes are roughly doubled
• You can no longer sell armour that is part of another factions uniform
• Cooking food speed is x3, but ingredient cost is x8.  Now the focus is less on waiting around for cooking, and more on running farms and protecting your crops until harvest time.
• Properly added the research and crafting for the 3 main alcoholic drinks.  These are the new cash crop as food was made less profitable in the last update.
• Chainmail is 50% heavier

AI ANNOYANCE FIXES

• Tracked down the bug where your character would keep stopping when you are trying to run away from attackers
• Stopped chars going crazy constantly cursing and chasin' off varmints and ignoring your orders
• Stopped chars going off to get food in the middle of a fight
• turrets no longer aim too high for small or young animals
• some rare cases led to characters running away instead of fighting

FIXES

• Fixed a crash on save when you had a bounty with a minor faction

0.93.22

FOOD OVERHAUL:

• This is the result of some extensive testing, to further balance the hunger system in the way originally intended
• hunger time is doubled again.  It takes almost twice as long to get hungry.
• food nutritional quality is halved, but also food cost is halved too.  Remember the yellow and red states are supposed to be starvation, your ribs are showing, you shouldn't be able to fully recover from malnutrition with just 1 meal.
• So, technically speaking, those 2 above result in the same amount of eating and costs, its just stretched over a slower timeframe now.
• Food is no longer a trade good, so you only get 50% of its value when you sell it.  Bread won't make you rich anymore.  This will double-up as a plot point with the Trader's Guild later on.  The cash crop will be drugs and alcohol.

FEATURES:

• Added a simple thieves/assassins guild
• You can now stealth-knockout sleeping NPCs
• Bounties are now assigned by factions. Committing a crime in the Holy Nation won't make you a criminal in the Empire or Shek Kingdom.
• Tuned the "spawn" distributions.  Should reduce the situations where you defeated a bandit or animal squad and then more and more kept coming to fill the population vacuum.
• Also implemented a mild co-existence system, so small time villages don't get instantly wiped out by their dangerous evironment eg the BeakThing-Hiver wars
• When your character gets sucked dry by a vampiric creature and dies, it leaves behind all his gear and clothes, just sitting there empty where once was your beloved character.
• You can no longer sell a fence back their own items that you stole from them
• Athletics XP rate reduced by 25%

0.93.21

MORE THIEVERY REBALANCE:

• Stealth sound overhaul.  When sneaking, targets will sometimes hear you.  The chance depends on distance and skill.  A zero-skill character will be lucky if he can sneak around a shop without being detected.  This gives more XP to compensate.
• Stealing chances rebalanced
• Town guards will investigate buildings that have their doors left open at night.  They can recognise intruders.
• You can no longer steal from your hired bodyguards if they get knocked out, they will now see it as a betrayal.  IF they see it happen, that is.

FIXES:

• Dogs shouldn't go to sleep right next to your body after knocking you out anymore
• Fixed hired bodyguards not healing your guys
• Fixed an AI bug with crafting bench hauling

0.93.20

• The last update nerfed the stolen goods sell values too strongly (15%), they've been increased to 50%.  I wanted to fix this before the weekend, because it ruined thievery.

0.93.19

• Fixed characters not getting up off the ground

0.93.18

THIEVERY REBALANCE:

• Kidnapping is now a crime, you can't just pick up sleeping shopkeepers and run off with them.  Well, you can, but now there are consequences.
• Fixed some AI bugs where NPCs don't go to bed.  Stopped bar guards taking paying customers out of bed and dumping them outside.
• blueprints and maps no nonger count as trade goods and so their re-sale value has the loot penalty
• all stolen items also count as "loot", so you can no longer sell stolen goods for full price
• fences now buy stuff at 50% instead of 25%, to make up for the loot penalty a bit
• you shouldn't get attacked at shop closing time anymore

FIXES:

• Fixed infinite lockpicking sound again
• put a minimum cap on bar patrons, so there's less chance of getting empty bars
• shouldn't be able to put animals in cages any more (because they don't fit)
• Some smaller AI and crash fixes

0.93.17

• Fixed another random crash that was introduced in the last update that addressed a random crash introduced in the update previous to that one

• A few more maps added to the travel shops

0.93.16

• Fix for a frequent crash introduced in the last update
• Looting law changes.  You don't get tagged as a looter until you actually take an item from someone, and it doesn't count as a crime if the item was stolen from you to begin with, or if the victim is a bandit, criminal or slave.  
• NPCs can also now get tagged as looters, same laws apply.
• Fixed possible issue with mod's data folders

0.93.15

• included missing translation .pot files

• Fixed beds getting stuck as occupied if you get out too fast

NEW WORLD (0.90.0) Due to the sheer size of the new map the first release will be restricted to a certain area only.  This area will gradually expand with more updates, but the main focus now is going to be on stability and polish.This first build will be full of bugs and instability, please send us crashdumps and bug reports so we can fix it up.

Content:

• Entirely new world map.  More detailed and polished, new factions, new content, things to explore. Its' like Kenshi 2. Crazy. I should have called it Kenshi 2 and charged for it again, but I didn't.
• Entirely revamped research tech-tree, new technologies and balance.  Research is faster, but has a cost in items or artifacts.
• Totally new buildings.  Multiple floors, and you can mount turrets on the rooftops.
• New power system.  Generators require fuel, wind power fluctuates with the wind strength, batteries compensate for fluctuations. Fuel can be made

from crops.

• Revamped farming system and different crops.
• New animals, and new races with own strengths and weaknesses.
• There's water now.  Rivers to cross and oceans to drown in.
• Camping- You can build easy camp beds and fires for survival when traveling
• Things and places to find. Bandit bases, old labs, ruins.

Gameplay:

• Hunger is now a thing. You can die of starvation although it takes a long time. Your characters appearance reflects their state of physical strength or malnutrition.
• Buildings are now made with multiple materials.  Machinery requires iron and sometimes copper.
• Thievery is improved, buildings have things to steal, guards are more alert.
• Leather crafting now requires you to hunt for animal skins
• Nice new zoomable world map window. It's so nice.
• Your stats are now affected by injuries and malnutrition.
• Certain animals might now eat your crops, your dead bodies, and sometimes even your unconscious bodies.
• NPCs use the stuff in their homes, guards train, people sit etc
• Guards in buildings and shops now discreetly sort of follow you about, keeping an eye on you
• Fixed getting busted for stealing from accidental clicks. You can look inside unlocked containers, and lock picking has to be chosen through the right-click menu.
• Reduced labor/engineering speed penalty at level 1 from 0.25x to 0.5x. This will speed things up slightly at the lower levels when starting out
• Stealth skill is easier to train in non-hostile environments.  
• Increased trade profitability by 50%, this combined with thievery should provide decent alternatives to looting as a profession in the early game stage.
• Characters with a turret job will automatically use whichever turret has enemies in its line of fire.
• New long-distance move command, so you can click on distant terrain and your characters will run there
• Tons of bugfixes.

Engine:

• New fancy shadow system, looks nicer and more importantly runs faster.
• New terrain engine.  Runs faster, looks nicer and shows more detail for distant mountains
• Long-range pathfinding system.  You can click on any visible distant mountain and your characters will find their way there, following roads.
• A lot of fundamental engine optimizations have been done, this may temporarily cause new bugs, but hopefully speed things up
• Bit of an overhaul to the animation system, runs faster and combat

animation should be a little smoother and have more functionality

• Overhauled with a new PBR & HDR global lighting system, should make a great improvement to the visual quality
  • (Credit for this goes to Linda MacGill and Igor Frolov of Bug Zen!)

• Fixed big fonts with resolutions larger than 1920.

0.76.0

Apologies for the delay with this update, we are currently working a lot on content for the new world map and hoping to release the first part of it in the next major update.

• Huge optimization that uses more multi-threading for the game code and AI, improving performance significantly when there are a lot of characters around.

0.75.0

• Town populations slowly regenerate when residents die.  Killing off a lot of NPCs that are affiliated with a nearby town will weaken that town slightly, it's possible to wipe out all the cannibal patrols roaming near a cannibal village for example.  Currently "homeless" factions like the bandits are not affected by this.
  • brought back the town info tooltip on the mapscreen to show population information.  I will rely on player feedback for balancing it.

• Crime system in progress.
  • You can now steal from shops  
  • Crimes are recognised by the AI  
  • Police can put a bounty on your head and arrest you  
  • Civilians can raise the alarm and call police attention to a crime  
  • Pickpocketing: NPC is alerted if he notices you stealing from his inventory while he sleeps  
  • Selling stolen items has a chance of getting you in trouble, especially if you try to sell things back to the victim  
  • Sleeping NPCs are woken up by noise, but it's easier to rob them

• Interacting with the containers, counters, chest, etc. will be considering stealing. (Work In Progress)  
• The traders inventory is infinite, so you can sell stuff more easily  
• The trader stores his shop inventory in the actual containers around the shop.  This means you can steal stuff from them.  
• Some item containers now have locks.  Traders keep the more valuable items in the more secure containers  
• Added a node system to building placement.  It ensures that any machines and storage you place is always accessible by characters and fixes a lot of bugs like when characters tried to access a storage box through a wall  
• Emissive lighting added

• Slave shops added to major towns.  Still a WIP.

0.74.30

We are still trying to track down the problem with squads/characters vanishing off the map or into the void, often when you load a game.  We've added more debug information now, so if you load up your savegame and find that it's missing anyone, either send us the save or just the file called "save.log" that you should find in your save folder.  This save.log file only appears if something bad was detected, so if you see it, send it in!

0.74.21

Some savegame "corruptions" it turns out are caused by not importing your savegame after update 0.74.14.  Import if you have problems, report the bug if you still have problems.

• If you have a savegame with a missing squad or characters vanishing "into the void" then loading your game with "reset squad positions" will now recover everyone.  We are currently tracking down the root cause of this bug.

• Added audio to the perception system (work in progress)

0.74.20

  • all NPCs now use field of view and line of sight
  • you can avoid detection, fight a guard without raising the alarm etc
  • Its totally awesome and cleverly made so it doesn't hurt the frame rate with tons of characters all LOS checking eachother
  • Probably will cause a lot of new bugs because it's a fundamental system with far-reaching gameplay consequences
  • I didn't have time to add audio senses, only visual, so sneaking will be a bit too easy until next update.

• Slave escapes:
  • You can free slaves and they'll react and escape and thank you and try to escape with you and sometimes join you once you get away.

NOTES:

• a change to the time system means you may end up with problems like getting stuck tagged as a slave for 99999 hours or a wandering trader that never leaves your town- import game to fix it.
