Do you like the indie sandbox RPG known as Kenshi? Have you ever thought "this game is good, but what if it was Dwarf Fortress?" Well you don't need to think that anymore because its Dwarf Fortress now, I converted the whole setting into Dwarf Fortress.

This mod does its best to add the creatures, items, and races of Kenshi into dwarf fortress, along with some cut content animals found only in concept art.

Download Link: http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=14292

HOW TO INSTALL:
Just download it, place the folder somewhere, and play it. This mod comes with its own .exe and everything, you do not need to copy and paste, drag and drop, or otherwise move any files around beyond the initial step. It works exactly like installing and playing the vanilla game.

Honestly, I'm amazed this got as little attention as it has.  You've done gods work, Okran be praised.

[Iä! RIAKTOR!]

To be fair I've mostly been working on my original settings, not had much time to shill stuff like this.

Update hashish effects for new syndrome system from .47

I thought I did, it should give you feelings right? Or is there something bugged about it?

Ah right, that would make sense. Currently busy with another project but I'll get to it.

Hey, just wanted to say, I have played your mod a bit and I do enjoy it, but it gives a feel of being unfinished. For instance, the mod seems to not make any difference between scorchlanders and greenlanders, both seemingly based on the base DF human. The problem being, in Kenshi, the two are really distinct and have a strong cultural and ethnic identity, which do not seem reflected by the mod.  Instead of following Kenshi's universe, it seem to default to DF culture generator, resulting in dark skinned greenlanders and fair skinned scorchlanders.

This would not bother me in a randomly generated world with randomly generated cultures, but if the mod is set on the Kenshi's universe which makes a ine point separating the two, it takes me out of the experience quite a bit, and hints at the fact that maybe the two ethnicities and cultures may not be fine-tuned to follow their Kenshi's equivalent. Could you look into it when you have the time ?

Else, I love that mod, I really hope to see it improve in the future

So uh, I made an addon, based on a few mods. Everything works on paper, or at least I haven't had any errorlog reports. It mostly adds new weapons and crops, but there's also a few new creatures (not many, but some.)

It can be found here. I'm considering making a story fort based upon this mod, since I rather like Kenshi and it looks like the mod was updated to 47.04 since the last time I looked at it.

[Cathar]

Nice ! I'll test that after work !

Nice ! I'll test that after work !

Let me know if anything is broken, I only did very basic arena testing to make sure there weren't serious errors, but there still might be soft errors hidden in there I haven't noticed.

I was going to add Threshers and PAK Units too (basically mobile turrets and little robot pack mule/body clean-up respectively,) but those'd need more work than what I know how to do at the moment. Also might add more weapons later for fun.

Hey, posting to see if anyone else has been having an issue with trying to embark. I've had 3 other people confirm there's some kind of problem, both when genning a new world, and when using the one the mod comes with. Each of us tried to embark without even making special preparations and had an instant CTD every time.

This is unrelated to my addon pack, as the CTD happened with and without it.

I've also found a bug in the civs meant to have access to heavy polearms (basically they lacked the _HEAVY part, resulting in a duplicate standard polearm entry.) I fixed it in my addon, since I noticed it during my setting up the pre-added files for the new weaponry in the addon.

Speaking of which, I've updated it with some more goodies, namely weapons and crops based on yet more mods.

FIXES
- Fixed a duplicate raw name for the Buzzer's ammo.
- New crossbows now require two hands to wield properly
- Fixed an error in multiple entities resulting in a lack of heavy polearms.

WEAPONS

=Katanas=
Junk Katana: Broken weapon parts or unskilled smiths are responsible for these abortions to the swordmaker's art. Slower attack prepare and recover to simulate its crappy grip and slightly janky balance, with a slightly lower velocity modifier compared to a katana but smaller contact area and slightly better benetration due to all the edges and more pronounced point.

=Polearms=
Junk Yari: Basically the polearm version of the junk katana.

=Sabres=
Prowler's Blade: A quick striking weapon with a fine tip, good for puncturing armor and thick animal hides. Slightly slower recover time but increased velocity. Available to some human civs.
Serrated Sabre: Superficially resembles a holed sabre with noticeable serrations. Higher contact area. Available to some human civs.
Grass Sabre: A cutlass-like weapon with a prominent handguard. Has a blunt punch attack as a result. Available to some human civs and hivers.
Crescent Sabre: A long, two-handed sword with a deceptively heavy blade. Higher penetration and velocity. Needs three bars due to length and weight of the blade. Available to Skeleton and some human civs.

=Blunts=
Blade Club: A wedge-shaped hunk of metal with a shaped handle with a slightly improved velocity modifier, but costs more than a standard beatstick (two bars.) Available to all civs.
Sharpened Blade Club: Same as above, but edged instead. Not really weighted right to class as a hacker or saber, and so considered a mace.
Totem Axe: A weapon resembling a fragment axe but vastly scaled down, with various animal motifs applied as standard features. Available to some human civs and shek.

=Heavies=
Warsword: A far less cumbersome alternative to the fragment axes favored by the shek. Available to the Shek and some human civs.
Scraptower: The resultant abortion of someone stapling together various broken sword bits, primarily from a Plank, Fragmewnt Axe, and Paladin swords. Slow attack and recover, but higher penetration and has a stab attack which most heavies lack.

=Hackers=
Chopper: A crude machete intended for chopping through foliage and crops, too short to call a real saber and too heavy to call a katana. Available to all human civs.
Fragment Cleaver: Basically the results of either salvaging parts or messing up while making a fragment or totem axe. Looks like a broken part of a fragment axe bolted to an old iron rod. Available to Shek and some human civs.
Sharpened Totem Axe: Same as the Totem Axe, but edged with some penetration. Considered a hacker.

=Crossbows=
Dartbow: A simple magazine-fed pneumatic rifle that fires small darts. Not the best weapon out there, being comparable to an okranite arbalest, but still to be respected in skilled hands. Available to some human civs and skeletons, as it's something of a higher tech weapon compared to crossbows.

MATERIALS
Juice Template: Wildfruit and greenfruit can be brewed in juices that offer no mood bonuses, but also don't cause problems like bar fights. Juices also aren't as valuable as alcoholic drinks, what with them not helping you forget your shitty life in the outlands.

PLANTS
Desert Cinnamon: Valuable spice crop. Milled into ground cinnamon that can be cooked, grows in some of the more arid but hospitable areas alongside cacti. Mill value 35, seed value 2, plant value 3.
Pepper Hemp: A mutant strain of hemp grown for its spicey taste rather than its THC content. Like desert cinnamon, it is milled into an edible and valuableground hemp pepper mill product. Mill value 35, seed value 2, plant value 3.
Wildfruit: A red cousin of the greenfruit that grows just about anywhere. Known for thier mildly unpleasant taste (though not enough to warrant a stressor) and tendency to induce intestinal distress. Can be brewed into wildfruit juice. Value 1.

EDITED FILES
Greenfruit can now be brewed into greenfruit juice. It's a little bland-tasting but hey. It's better than drinking water forever on that front.

Ah yeah, I made this awhile ago so I ended up missing a ton of stuff. I'll try and update it when I'm not busy with my current project. Could overhaul the description as well. You're welcome to make a submod or even your own fork of it, I'm trying to keep it as close to canon as I can while also incorporating monsters from concept art since there aren't enough creature types without them imo

EDIT: I just stumbled across what I think is the source of the CTD bug through sheer chance while doing a bit of testing. Essentially, something about the scorchlander creature crashes the game, but only sometimes. That's probably why I never found it. Thing is, I've got no idea why this would happen. You can test it by going in arena mod and spawning scorchlanders until the game crashes

EDIT2: Actually, it seems like the bug also applies to other civilized races as well. Either way, it only happens sporadically. I only got clued in because the scorchlander one crashed on my first go of the ol' "spawn every creature once in arena mode to see if one crashes the game" trick
