why do western hivers do this?
When i go in hive villages, I had multiple instances of them following my squad and acting weird, only to say "Aww...." and go on their merry way. I do have hivers in my squad but i've seen this happening BEFORE they got in my squad
I always interpreted this as them being so incredibly bored that they try to provoke you into attacking them so they can have at least a little bit of action, but what do you guys think?

Update: The first Legend has entered the Waystation. Chappie is now Lore.
Hey Drifters,
A few days ago, I shared my vision of building a shared roleplay archive to save our most iconic characters from vanishing into forgotten save files. The response was incredible, and the stories you shared are fantastic.
Today, the first entry is officially live: Chappie, the cannibal dismantler.
I’ve turned Chappie’s tragic past and brutal Hacker-class logic into a full drifter sheet. You can check out his complete lore, strict RP rules, and endgame goals in the gallery below (or see the high-res version on the Archive's Instagram).
The Archive is just getting started, and I want YOUR legends next. If you missed the first post and want to turn your survivor into a permanent piece of lore for other players to "borrow" for their runs, here is how you can join:
- Comment below using the format from the Original Post here (I’m reading every single story!).
- Slide into my DMs on Instagram "kenshi.waystation" if you want to send me specific screenshots or discuss the design.
No monetization, just a designer trying to give our stories the epic look they deserve.
Who’s the next recruit? Drop your story below.

Do you think that Kenshi should have auto-pause under some circumstances?
In my opinion, there are some scenarios in which the game should automatically pause the time:
+ A member encounters an enemy. When I was micromanaging the camp group, the expedition group occasionally encountered a group of enemies.
+ A member gets knocked out or loses a limb in combat.
+ Someone gets hungry. Sometimes when I was focusing on the expedition group, I didn't notice that some members in the camp group couldn't to go to the food basket.
With auto-pause, the player can focus on one squad instead of constantly switching between squads. While the expedition group is traveling to an area, I can focus most of my time managing the camp group.
When the game auto-pauses, the game also displays a message to the player.
These options can be toggled on or off.
EDIT: Look folks, this is just a suggestion for a feature. I don't beg for a feature or intend to force this on everyone. If the developers don't want to implement it, that's OK for me.

Are gurglers the fastest way to train toughness on skeletons?
It takes about 2 in game days to go from 1 to 90. This is the fastest method I have found but am wondering if there is an even faster way.

What is the most dishonorable thing one can do in kenshi?
In your opinion, what is the most dishonorable or dishonest thing one can do in Kenshi? In my opinion, it's exploiting an enemy by putting them in bed and attacking them while they sleep to gain XP.

Bonesogs for defending the base
I'm new to the game. I recently bought two dogs pups. Is it a good idea to get a whole pack of them (5–6 or more) to defend the settlement? Any advice on them?

Cool video I made
So I saw how eerie the light from lightning made this place look and I decided to take some photos, edit them, add some music, a little something at the end, and post it.
The video was made only for fun and I placed my name at the top to remember that I made it so you can cut it out if you want the photos.
I want to make it better tho and I need some tips. I know the text is ugly so any ideas on making better text? Or making anything better here?

[MOD RELEASE] Wandering Recruits, add small squads of vanilla recruits that wander from town to town and stop at bars for a while. Super light, no dependencies or conflicts
Very simple mod I made after a post I saw yesterday. This way you won't need an import when you run out of static recruits, because the world will naturally generate more that will wander around like caravans, stopping by at bars for a while. Faction appropriate, you won't find Skeletons in Holy Lands. Should have zero conflicts and be compatible with literally anything.
Only, let me know if you think they spawn too little, too much, or just right.

What character do you usually keep in your main squad?
Finally got to a stage where I made a base. Soon it will be time to travel and recruit some new characters, so that got me thinking - what characters do I want to recruit for my main squad?
I already got Beep, Burn and Crumblejon. And Infinite Wingwang.
Also, a personal question. Beep - martial artist, or samurai? Or big ass sword?

So, I was hunting bandits in the Great Desert and suddenly this Hero Boss came running at me with a pack of skimmers on his tail... not to get help, just to insult my skeleton.
Regretfully, he was eaten alive by the skimmers. As he succumbed to their attacks he was last heard shouting out, "Tin man!"
