Kenshi v1.0.37 (Experimental Branch)
Tue, 29 October 2019
Out now on the experimental branch only. To opt in to the experimental version, right-click on Kenshi in your Steam games list -> properties -> betas tab -> then choose “experimental”. If opting in, please be aware of bugs and instability.
Please report any bugs or feedback to either the Steam or Lo-Fi forums
Gameplay changes:
• Slaves are now only fed up to 100 if not in a cage, instead of 115.
• Pet animals now heal 2x speed when KO'd, as they have no other means of healing and spend too much of their lives in comas.
• Holy farm storage is no longer full of ration packs.
• The GUI tooltip now also shows your bounty even if you are a slave.
Bug Fixes:
• Fixed AI bug where a guard captures someone out of the boundaries of the town, and keeps picking them up and putting them down again.
• Slave status is no longer reset when you are arrested by police. Slaver caravans should come by and collect slaves, but mods could prevent this, meaning that a slave could get arrested and trapped in a police station forever. Now its possible to wait-out a sentence.
• Fixed AI stalling when crafting items when different input items are needed.
• Fixed inventory item limit being ignored when AI moves large item stacks.
• Reduced characters running through the air or underground when zones are loading in the background.

October Community Update
Wed, 30 October 2019
About a month ago we reached out to fans across the globe and spoke about working with Unreal Engine, technical hang-ups on porting Kenshi, the potential to focus on Kenshi 2, and shared the seemingly important newfound British tradition for non-binding votes on important subjects.
As of writing, the poll stands at over 22,000 votes, 81% of which would like Lo-Fi to focus on Kenshi 2 and giving the game a more expansive feature set. Beyond the binary nature of the poll, the community wrote thousands of comments to explain their thoughts, concerns and wish lists which we’re always interested in, and finally something about an ‘Epic Game Store exclusive’, which we clarified we’re not interested in.
Today I’m happy to share that the team is focussed on Kenshi 2.
Kenshi 2 update news:
Our current plan is to bring everything together into a monthly format and make all news available in the most popular Kenshi user languages via mediums most appropriate to each language. This has lead us to launch some additional social channels which we’d love to hear from you on.
English speakers:
For our English speaking audience there’s our website, Steam news, Twitter, Facebook and our parody Instagram.
Japanese speakers:
For Japanese users, in addition to our website, Steam news, and Niconico, you can now find us on Twitter @KenshiJP – this will allow us to give you more information on Kenshi 2 and welcome you to take part in competitions hosted by Lo-Fi games or the Kenshi community.
Chinese speakers:
Finally for Chinese users, there’s our website, Steam news and two additional new platforms, Bilibili and Weibo – while both are a bit of an experiment for us, it represents an exciting way for us to hear your thoughts on Kenshi and share content directly from the studio.
Additionally, sign ups are enabled for email newsletters which we may use in the future.
Events and competitions:
For starters, check out the ongoing Halloween modding competition ran by the Kenshi Community Discord team. It’s a great chance to win a selection of awesome games (provided as Steam keys) from the community prize pool, perfect for playing whilst eating a stash of holiday candy.
To get involved:
1. Join the Kenshi Community Discord
2. React to the ‘Server – Events’ role in the ‘#server-roles’ channel
3. Submit a suitably spooky Kenshi mod on either the Steam Workshop or Nexus Mods
4. Link your devilish creation in the ‘#event-submissions’ channel
5. Submissions close November 30th.
It’s no secret that we’ve been spending more time amongst Kenshi’s user base, those of you already following us on social media have seen us celebrating fan art, memes, screenshots, and highlighting some of the more creative mods made by players – We’d like to level things up again, so in addition to the awesome Halloween event hosted by the Discord community this month, once our merchandise is available we’ve got a whole host of ideas for fans to win some physical goodies.
Merchandise:
Creating merchandise has been a little slower than we first imagined but we’re in the home stretch now that we’ve found a good partner to help us with the process. We’re working closely with the team at Merchandise.Game, whose experience includes providing merch for Smite, Furi, Paladins, Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds and other major titles – all sold in a variety of currencies and delivered globally.
Supporting Kenshi 1:
Despite the focus on Kenshi 2’s development, we’re still committed to bug fixes for Kenshi 1. As of writing one option we’re exploring is the idea of a public bug tracker similar to the way browsers like Firefox and Chrome allow users to report issues, link connected issues together for investigation and give more realistic feedback on the progression of their issue. This could be Bugzilla, Mantis or something else entirely.
In the meantime, when reporting an issue please follow the format outlined in the forum sticky https://steamcommunity.com/app/233860/discussions/1/2686880925143327962/ , many issues take a significant amount of time to investigate without reproduction steps or, despite how prolific they may seem to the reporter, can’t be reproduced on our systems at all which is far from ideal.
From everyone at Lo-Fi Games, have a spooky Halloween and let your uninitiated friends know they can pick up Kenshi 33% off for the duration of the holiday sales. There’ll be more information on Kenshi 2’s development in the next update.

Kenshi v1.0.38 & v1.039 (Experimental Branch)
Mon, 18 November 2019
Out now on the experimental branch only. To opt in to the experimental version, right-click on Kenshi in your Steam games list -> properties -> betas tab -> then choose “experimental”. If opting in, please be aware of bugs and instability.
Please report any bugs or feedback to either the Steam or Lo-Fi forums
1.0.38
"These 2 insidious random crashes were fixed with the help of the player Kapaer. He is a total genius who managed to track down the crashes on his own system and make a mod that hacked the game and fixed them. Thanks to this and the info he provided we were able to use the memory addresses to track down the problems at the source. Kapaer's name has been added to the game in his honour." - Chris
Kapaer's fixes:
• Fixed a random crash that would happen if someone caught someone else committing the crime of assault against nothing (no victim)
• Fixed a random crash when picking up characters, or something related to that. Would only happen with certain people's PCs, so was hard to catch. There is a small chance that this could fix the passable walls bug too.
Bug Fixes:
• Clamped a value to hopefully avoid the cursed money item bug, where you would pick up a coin and get minus a billion cats
• Mostly fixed the issue with characters patrolling into private buildings
• Fixed interior visibility in build mode
• Fixed interior not loading correctly if you complete a building while inside it
• Fixed item labels being cut off at certain resolutions
1.0.39
A few additional fixes have been added prompting an update to the original post and a newer version number.
Additional Bug Fixes
• Fixed a crash with the new fix for the previous ragdoll crash
• Fixed bodyguard betrayal triggering more than once per betrayal, leading to oversize relation penalties. Penalty should be 20 to reputation.
• A bunch of small stability fixes to the FCS
