Unofficial Patches for Kenshi

Description
The Unofficial Patches for Kenshi (UPK) is a compilation of published bugfixes and several QoL improvements into one mod that's easy to download and manage. The changes incorporated here either are my own, or were provided with permission from the original mod authors. Please check the Credits[www.nexusmods.com] for the names and links to what mods have been incorporated with author's permission and go give them a thumbs-up (here on Steam) or endorsement (on Nexus)! Some changes include the following:

The Unofficial Kenshi Patch
Slopeless (Nexus Version)[www.nexusmods.com]
Fixes provided by SCARaw (i.e. Calm Ambient Sound[www.nexusmods.com], Crab Tournament FIX[www.nexusmods.com], Limbs Icons Fix[www.nexusmods.com])
Fixes provided by Shidan (i.e. Shidan's Tweaks & Fixes [Fixes only])
GE0DZ's Tweaks[www.nexusmods.com] (my own contributions)
Grammar Paladin - Reupload (EN module only)
And much more...

If you want a complete breakdown of what's been changed, please read the Full Changelog[www.nexusmods.com] for more info. For assistance with any issues that may arise with using the UPK, please read the Compatibility and Troubleshooting[www.nexusmods.com] guide. You may also find more info in this mods comments section both here and on Steam. For any questions regarding modding in general, please check out the following Discord servers:

Official Kenshi Discord Server[discord.gg] (Lo-Fi Games official Discord Server for Kenshi)
Kenshi Community Discord Server[discord.com] (Kenshi fan server, most modders can be found here)
Genesis Modding Guild Discord Server[discord.gg] (Genesis modding server, lots of modders can be found here)

IMPORTANT
As of Version 3.3 of the Unofficial Patches for Kenshi, the UPK has been split into two mods. Both mods work independently of each other, though in the future the EN module may require the Main module as a dependency:

Unofficial Patches for Kenshi (Main module, all bugfixes and Qol improvements, as well as grammar changes related to new items, research, etc.)
Unofficial Patches for Kenshi EN (English module, all vanilla grammar corrections to dialogue, names, descriptions, etc.)

The reason for this is because of how many grammar changes were incorporated with Grammar Paladin. Kenshi's player base ranges across the world, and I felt uncomfortable making changes that might result in non-English speaking players being unable to understand numerous dialogue changes. Modding at the end of the day is about trying to keep things new and fun for everyone, and I want to avoid doing something that could massively infringe on that goal. Therefore, going forward this is how the UPK will be structured:

Included in both modules
Any Dialogue changes that address bugs (i.e. Honest Big Grim - Quest Fix, Tinfist's WANTED poster reward and Skeleton repair bed cost typos)
All Dialogue Condition changes
All Dialogue Effect changes
All Dialogue trigger changes
Removed Dialogue changes
Removed Dialogue Condition changes
Removed Dialogue Effect changes
Removed Dialogue trigger changes
All current Dialogue Package changes
All current New Dialogue changes (i.e. Fixed Vanilla Raids and Recruit Ray by freeing him[www.nexusmods.com])

Included in UPK EN
Vanilla Dialogue grammar corrections
All Word Swap changes (including new word swaps such as any of the OPENER word swaps)
Vanilla Name corrections
Vanilla Description grammar corrections

Not included in UPK EN
New Items (i.e. Fishsticks, no way to split off item names/descriptions)
New Names (i.e. Composite Runners + Strings Fix, too reliant on core mod changes to split off on its own)
New Descriptions (i.e. Composite Runners + Strings Fix)

MY PATCHES
Additionally, there are several patches for the UPK. Please check out the mod's Steam page and/or read through the UPK's Compatibility and Troubleshooting guide for more info.

Unofficial Patches for Kenshi - Limb Icons Fix (Anatomical) Patch
Unofficial Patches for Kenshi - No Running Garru Herd Fix

@Shela Monster I'm doing fine financially, though I really do appreciate the thought.

@w-o-w Thank you. I'm just glad to help, a lot of really talented modders did most of the legwork. If I can pull their fixes together and contribute what I can I'm happy.

@Geo we believe in your fixes
Shela Monster 7 Nov @ 10:15pm 
Would/do donations help at all? I'm with Laughing Forest, we greatly appreciate your work, especially adding so many new fixes this long after the game's completion. :steamhappy:

No stress mate. We all immensely appreciate your work.

@Wandering Sol First I've heard of it.

@Laughing Forest Combination of burnout from last year going into earlier this year and lots of life changes on my end. I've been getting a lot of feedback on various issues, and while I don't know if I can fix them all I'll see what I can do.
Laughing Forest 6 Nov @ 12:14am 
Hey mate - when do you think you’ll post the next update to include some fixes from this year?
Wandering Sol 5 Nov @ 8:27pm 
Hey does anyone know what's the deal with the floating trashed ashland dome/throne building on the the mountain ridge over cheater run? just curious, nothing interesting in it but its a pretty cool build.

Thanks, GE0! Looks like according to their notes, some of the weapon weights for pawns to use were off, using 100 instead of 1 or 0? I'm not familiar with the FCS but seems like a dev oversight based on their comments, but thanks for taking a look at it! The texture one is also apparently a bug fix since it's a mapping issue with textures already included in the game. :steamhappy:

@Shela Monster I can reach out to Kodi to see if they're interested in me including their work in the UPK. Weapon distribution I will need time to take a look at, as I've seen a number of mods that adjust how weapons are placed throughout the game end up not being super compatible. While I wouldn't mind including it, I do want to try to keep the UPK as compatible as I can.

Any consideration for adding "Kodi Sky's Vanilla Fixes - Rusted Junk Normal Map" and "Kodi Sky's Vanilla Fixes - Weapon Distribution" which both seem to fix vanilla bugs?
