Universal Wasteland Expansion – 【Kenshi】

A singularly developed mod with one vision and executed by one person. An expansion in every sense of the word… Universal Wasteland Expansion sets out to expand the world of Kenshi in many ways. Vanilla mechanics and lore were taken and expanded upon, instead of trampled. The world is more fleshed out, with more to do and more to see. If it is in the vanilla lore/dialogue, UWE expanded upon it.(Such as the Grievewraith monsters of myth and lore or Hamut’s wife, Lena, being found at a slave town) Theft, looting, and stealth have been completely reworked to actually give the player a challenge.

The early game feel has been extended well into the mid-late game, with how desperate and difficult the world around the player can be. The feeling of never being settled or having enough permeates the entire experience. The enemy to leave you face down in the sands can be just around the corner until the mid-late game now.

Factions are now more dynamic and have a much better selection of armor and weaponry. New mechanics were also introduced, in an effort to fix what some may view as “broken” mechanics, in Kenshi vanilla.(An example would be shopkeepers and their guards’ reaction to attack a player sneaking in their shops now). Animals are more fleshed out, in every way.

Many new worldstates were created, as well as town overrides. When faction leaders, or town leaders even, are killed or kidnapped, it can set off a chain reaction of towns flipping ownership, in a frantic attempt to fill power vacuums.

Check the change notes, as my noted changes each version have been quite extensive.

A “total world overhaul mod” including all other overhaul and feature/content mods created by TreadLightly77.
