Started my own rock bottom\solo martial artist run. 30 seconds in, got bitten in the head by skimmer for 108 damage. The end.

I feel like your only companion for this run should be a skeleton or heavily augmented Greenlander to represent Genos

Me as a kid: "I want to be a kung fu master when I grow up!" Me as a 23 years old: "my labouring skill has reached 45!"

“Guards! My chest is caving in!” perfect quote

This is a true story of a villain, not a hero. "I will punch my enemies and be hero". "Punching is hard, maybe I should use a stick instead". "I cannot use the stick to beat up evil people, I am too weak. Time to train on hobos". Next step: "Now that I am a master at beating poor hobos into the ground, I can take over the world!"

Here’s a helpful guide for strength training in Kenshi, half of this shit shouldn’t work but it does anyway. Step 1: Mine iron ore until you have a full inventory. Step 2: Put all the ore in a backpack. Step 3: Put that backpack back into your inventory. Step 4: Mine even more iron. Step 5: Walk around a bit until your training slows to a crawl. Step 6: Congratulations you’re now extremely buff, but what if I told you there was a way to go even further? Step 7: Shank a random homeless man or just find someone’s corpse. Step 8: Pick up their body while holding all of your heavy shit. Step 8.5: Look at your carry weight, see how it fucking spiked just because you picked up that skinny homeless man? It’s because Kenshi’s physics are fucking retarded. See, whenever you pick up someone’s body the game just doubles the weight of every item in your character’s inventory. Step 9: Walk around for a bit again. Step 10: Congratulations, your character could probably bench press Jupiter if they tried now.

Here's a tip for str training... put the backpack full of iron IN YOUR INVENTORY, not on your back. That way it won't reduce the iron's weight by 50%

Because Hungry Bandits almost exclusively use blunt weapons that only do a small amount of damage per strike, they are extremely unlikely to actually kill you (blunt damage does not usually cause wound degeneration, so even if you get put in a coma you should heal out of it naturally). This means the best way to train Toughness and Dodge as a martial artist in the early game is to just... let Hungry Bandits beat the shit out of you.

*Whacks a crawling guy on the head exactly once* "Ok, he has some combat training now"

Saitama started as a laborer too, albeit an office drone, so it's very appropriate to train that skill first.

Using heavy armor also helps your toughness training since the exp is given by the full damage value, but the hit can be mitigated by the armor so you can be hit more before needing to run.

ONE PUNCH MAN THEME intensifies! Also don’t forget. His workout was everyday.

A few tips: -If your character is knocked unconscious, then regains consciousness while enemies are still around but are no longer fighting, then they should start Playing Dead. If you give them a move order they'll stop Playing Dead and will get a large chunk of Toughness XP immediately - enough for a full level or two. It's risky, but if you have an ally (who you keep out of the fight) to patch you up afterwards you should be fine, provided the enemies aren't the sort to kidnap and/or eat you. -Dodge XP is gained when a character dodges, and when a character has a weapon they'll try to block, training Melee Defence instead. They only try to dodge if they're in a "I got hit" animation when attacked. However if a character is unarmed they can't block and will always try to dodge. So it's hard to train up Dodge whilst using a weapon. -I believe Dexterity XP is gained based on your weapon's ratio of Cutting to Blunt damage. If it's 100% Cutting damage with no Blunt at all, you get 100% Dexterity XP. I believe the XP is per hit, rather than based on damage, so weak weapons that do 100% Cutting damage, like Wakizashi, are best. -You're mostly done with your Strength training, but the max rate for Strength XP gain is 50%, as displayed in the lower left next to the Athletics XP rate. Encumbering yourself past this point doesn't provide more Strength XP. -XP is gained at different speeds at different levels, but the speed is based on your current *effective* level, so equipment that gives you a boost to a stat makes you train slower, whereas equipment that reduces it makes it train faster. Think of it like Rock Lee wearing ankle weights.

Hey man. I had no idea about kenshi but bought it after watching a couple episodes of your Torso experience. I've already sunk about 20 hours into it so far. Thank you!

I recently discovered you can use corpses as an extra backpack, fill their inventory and carry them to a store

We need a robot or better yet a cyborg An incredibly weak scary man A small green haired woman a fine shaped badon-a-donk And the small woman's taller, bigger busted sister

Theres a mod called "idle stands" that has a pushup idle that trains strength. It has some NSFW stuff in it too though but you can just ignore that

Just a tip for training toughness. Getting knocked down and then getting back up while enemies are still around gives you a huge boost to your toughness. I got a character to 20 toughness after 3-4 times getting knocked unconscious. It helps to have a partner around to heal you once the enemies leave you alone.

Just fyi, its pronounced "Sigh-tama"

Feels like Torso would be a perfect "Genos" companion for this

I found a great way to up the toughness - become a slave, break yourself out the prison (so u also upping lockpickin here), fight guards, get beaten, get a full free health care, repeat, also u do not starve being a slave.

There’s never a need to go above an encumbrance of 70%. Anything higher is suboptimal. Your maximum, natural, strength xp rate is 25%, which can is achieved at 70% encumbrance. This rate is doubled when carrying someone for a total of 50%. Strength xp gaming is based on how many meters you travel while encumbered, this means that if your encumbrance is above 70%, you are reducing your speed without increasing your xp rate. This is equivalent to lowering your xp rate

There is a mod that increases strength through mining - it makes sense to me, so I use it. Strength training is a good way to start for every character.

It's 10km not 5km :P I've tried this challenge myself and honestly the 100 exercises are suuuuuper easy when compared to the 10km run. That shit made me question my life choices.

The Holy Nation Outlaws are the folks who ran away from the Holy Nation.

This is one of those occasions where "look at that ugly mug" easily comes to mind. At least he has the right nose for his chosen profession! Well done and good luck, AA.

RIP The Torso, The Hand, and the whole Torso Gang. May One Punch Man honor their legacy.

I can't wait for the transformation of this character. Hopefully on the same tier of worm man

Bring back the torso to represent genos

*clobbers a disabled woman with an iron pipe* "There we go! Okay, he has SOME combat training now... technically..." :'D

funny the "let the guards handle the problem" strategy is one of my favourite for a lot of RPGs

speed. is important. he is the fastest man in the series

I think there is a mod that sets the cap for Strength to 500 or something, so you can really hit like One Punch Man

That close up of one punch dude in his armor is so kenshi I love it

Just an fyi, getting knocked out is one of the best ways to train your toughness. When you fall unconscious and get back up immediately rather than play dead, you gain like 5 points every time. You always gain at least 1 point from doing this all the way until you hit around Toughness 63. And they won't kill you if you heal mid-fight, and move a little bit every time they begin the attack animation. This dodges their attack and also buys you more time to bandage up. Then, getting knocked out won't kill you because most of your wounds will be bandaged already. That's how I got my skeleton vigilante to have 82 toughness in 38 days. Oh and you can also swap between block and attack mid-battle, which gives you a huge advantage no matter what your skills are.

"Your eyes are lifeless, just like mine."

This is long after the fact, I know, but I'm still gonna say it. The absolute best way to get through the early game in Kenshi is to get 10K cats and then buy yourself a membership in the Shinobi Thieves guild. That then gets you full access to their facilities, where they have a tower in several of the larger cities. In that tower there are beds you can use for free and more importantly a whole bunch of training dummies for training up attak, defense, dodge, agility etc, against something that doesn't fight back. It limits you to a certain level where you no longer get any benefit from that training but boy oh boy does it help you to get your stats up from rock bottom to half-way decent.

9:00 Holy nation *Outlaws*. The enemy of your enemy. So Saitama sides with the Holy Nation then. Also, Sa-Yea-Tama or Sai-Tama? Hm...

You could probably do this in 20 hours if you just grind the slave camps, they heal and feed you!

one punch man lookin like one-celled organism man

When your exp gain is too high Enemy: slaps player Player: barely touches enemy Enemy: *disentigrates*

Keep making kenshi and rimworld videos 😂👌

I do not know how you make such quality content at such large quantites!

If you starve your dude you will build strength faster. Just keep him in the yellow. I noticed this by accident when travelling through cannibal plains with a large party going for ancient science books. Will greatly increase speed of training!

Hey cool tip for you! The Rebel Base just outside of The Hub has beds, 3 beds in fact on the top of it. For some reason they cost 0 cats to use so you can freely use them without a care and without wasting your precious food money. Also to really train Dexterity, Attack, Defence, and some dodge try this technique: Run to a town with guardsmen and attack one, kite him away from his friends and just attack and run away when he attacks, then go back in for another attack. you can also do this to train dodge if timed well. Because they're "stronger" than you, you train extremely fast.

Hey man, awesome video as always, good to see you back from your break. Ill try to give tips as i remember them to help you out, i have quite a few hours in kenshi. If you click the BLOCK button above HOLD, it adds an invisible +20 Melee Defence. Makes it easier to defend from tons of units or stronger people, also helps train your melee defense to a point where you can unclick BLOCK and still have a decent chance to defend yourself. Have a good day man, glad your back!

1 lap around the Hub is like 30 miles btw, lol. You ran for 10 hours at 15-17 mph so you made Saitama run ≈160 miles

If you have trouble getting a consistent look throughout leveling, make a new start in the construction set with max stats for character creation so you know how custom presets will look when muscular

Strength training is EXP Percentage + distance traveled. You will only stunt your training by overloading your inventory. 50% Strength training EXP is the max. And your characters _should_ get knocked out for Toughness. Because when they wake up, they'll be "Playing Dead" and if you make them stand up they get a *MASSIVE* Toughness bonus.

You should recruit Beep again and he can represent Mumen Rider. You don’t even have to train him his job would just be to make you and your cyborg Genos look cooler by comparison.

Tip for martial arts training. Step one make the mad dash to the hive city in Vain. Step two mine copper until an albino Gorillos comes by. Step three kite Gorillos into the hive and let it get beat up. Step four patch up the Gorillos so it doesn’t die, take it back to the hub and through it in a bed. Step five use your new punching bag to train martial arts

finally man ive been waiting for your kenshi comback torsos tail was legendary saitama made 6.2 miles / 10 km everyday mate not 5 km

pretty late to be posting this but for anyone curious, you can juts put a torch near a copper/iron node to work at full power during night time which helps a lot.

I must say, I really miss these long format videos without excessive editing. Please bring some of them back!

Your Kenshi vids inspired me to get the game. I got some mods to make QoL better (including an xp boost bc I don't got a lot of time to tediously repeat stuff over and over) and holy shit you can die so easily. I spent like an hour creating my creature and he died in minutes after trying to kill a crackhead living in a shack. Creature 2 got a lil further. They made it to the next town over, accidentally tresspassed at night while training sneak at triple speed, and the guards beat me and glitched out, dropped me on the ground instead of taking me to jail. So I bled to death while townsfolk trampled all over me. Finally, I am on my 3rd attempt, Cleetus. Cleetus is actually doing okay. He has solid Str, amazing athletics and sneak, and decent toughness and melee defense. Unfortunately he cannot actually attack worth shit so I keep getting my shit kicked in and imprisoned everywhere I go. Cleetus just can't keep himself out of trouble

2:05 what a beautiful transition. Bravo!

You can also cheese the stumbling mechanic too,if you click on your current character while he is stumbling by a hit if he has a medkit on him he will quickly stop stumbling animation and start to heal himself,then you can just click back to run away and thats how you avoid stumbling animation.

this vid got me into kenshi and I do not regret it

this video is so entertaining. thanks for this I hope you have some more in this series.

brilliant video! really happy yt recommended me this ur channel is 😩👌 thanks lol

Hopefully this one wont be eaten by fogmen

Saw the title and already knew I was going to like the video.

Hey hey! Its me dying fella again! For Rimworld you mentioned you would like a common sense mod, andthere is actually a mod called COMMON SENSE! Shocking Ik, it wont fix that zoning problem you had with the fire, because that would hurt more then help, im sure u get it, but colonist will clean rooms they will work or sleep in beforehand and other neat things! Oh btw about my dying, got myself checked and stuff, this wont heal for 6 months but thats okay, i dont like to do sports anyways :D Keep up the good work Amphibian! You rock! May torso man rest in peace, avenge him with your hero!

I remember doing a playthrough, and stack was completely empty when I got to it. God only knows what wiped out that whole town...

Martial Artist Bindings, Armoured Rag Skirt and Assassin's Rags. Those three total up to +14 Martial Arts. If you're having trouble finding bindings, just get a research bench and a single regular book, research clothing manufacture, then get three iron plates to make the bench, one fabric for crafting, and Voilá! Martial Artist Bindings. The Assassin's Rags will also give 100% fist protection, so you don't break your hands fighting. Try to find a high quality Armoured Rag Skirt to lower the athletics negative it gives you.

when you lured the bandits inside.. to their doom.. i felt that

I like to imagine that after a while the guards would see Saitama run into town, sigh, and tell everyone in the bar to take their positions

"Ignoring morality until I'm stronger" after 10 hours of playing -kill them all!- :))

*hits with stick* "Some combat training" Me - I too have combat training

back in an earlier build of the game i would construct 2 sets of heavy armor. have the person i needed to be stronger wear one and another character wear the other. i would also buy 2 backpacks (again 1 for each character). i would load their entire inventory with whatever heavy objects i happened to have on hand and have the one that needs the training pick up the other character and run laps around the base for hours in fast forward.

ooo also if you press ALT in town it highlights the signs so its easier to see where shops are. Doing this also shows items on the floor by showing the name of the item under it in a clear black text box.

For a fast martial arts and strength training you can start as a slave in mines. By lockpicking and collecting shackles you can make your inventory very heavy, which will raise your strength during the day labor. During night, you can sneak out and try to steal guards weapons, eventually your stealing and sneaking will be high enough to do that. Then proceed to melee them. I think it took about 2 weeks to beat up pretty much all guards in the mine. The benefit of starting there is that if guards get agro you can lock yourself in the cage.

You can have an even higher weight if you completely fill up your backpack then take it off and hold it in your inventory, because then it doesn't give the 50% reduced weight.

For anyone trying this, if you unequip the full backpack you'll get the full weight of all items inside with the stacking benifits

I'm adoring the longer videos!

After the hero and his crew met their demise a new well..... hero rises, let's see what will his adventures be

Tip: fight a little then run away and bandage, it will keep you from dying when you get knocked out in the early game

"One" year later I return and enjoy this series again.

put the bag full of iron into your inventory. wont take the 50% weight reduction then

Best present of my birthday

I capture people and put them in a cell in a small house that’s empty. I put my character on block mode and arm the captive with good armor and crappy blunt weapon. I basically have a Dojo at my place. It helps increase your toughness, Dexterity. You can also use it for increasing sneaking skills and martial arts too.

Holy Nation Outlaws are not the bad guys. They are outlaws from the Holy Nation!

I have done this myself, martial arts is actually crazy in vanilla. Since you can just train strength by just filling backpacks with iron til you get over 70 strength and you are pretty much good to go. It takes time but the reward is crazy when you look at the damage numbers haha

I basically start every single one of my runs by running full tilt boogie to mongrel to get beep then sneak beep out of mongrel and have him train to 30 run speed and run him to the deadlands to grab sadneil. It’s my favorite power team.

You "can" train martial arts on a downed foe, you just have to get close to the crawling enemy. I found the best way other than just inching towards them and going for a hit or two was to choose attck, and have them escape towards a wall. if you can get them to hit a wall, they then try and move away sideways rather than directly away from you, allowing at least 2-3 punches. Once you get to the first move unlock you can start fighting downed foes with no issues. sorry if this wasnt explained well, but I figured it could be helpful.

IIRC the weight reduction of the backpack only applies while they are wearing it on the backpack slot, but if you move the backpack to their main inventory, then you are back to carrying 100% of the weight of the backpack and all its contents.

Maybe for the next series, you can use big mod like apocalypse mod.

Pretty sure strength xp gain rate caps at 50% 25% max from inventory weight + 25% from carried bodies(only if you are already encumbered from inventory). I think that's how it works. Also you can access the inventory of people you are carrying. Just right click the body that's over your shoulder. Look for the magnifying glass cursor. GL HF

Slave start is basically easy mode. You can get crazy stats from getting beaten up by guards during the day and carrying chains during the night.

sci (as in science) + tama. You could always look it up...

hey, saitama trained longer... he only noticed some changes after 1,5 year of his training (his hair loss and his immense power).

In the begining of a kenshi game, only buy Gohan. Its the most price worth of the food if you compare price to calories.

38:09 ono be careful of garou he hunts heroes xD

lol I have always seen "heavy" but this is this first time I have seen "overloaded".

You want to make your character super heavy fill up two or 3 backpacks you wear one and have the other on your character. (You can't put a full backpack in to your equipped backpack though.)

You've really come into your own style between this video and the latest project zomboid

Love this, great content

I got my lone wolf character enslaved then picked my shackles and put them in my inventory to way me down. Each one weighs 20kg. At night I escape and fight the guards to get toughened up since they’ll enslave and heal me each time. During the day he does the slave labor and in a few got nice and buffed with a strength of 80 then I escaped.

I'd like to see you come back to kenshi. This is my challenge. Create a viable town within Shek territory. Now here's where it gets tricky. Instead of sending the entire town out on expeditions, you can only send out a hit squad. Hint, mercenaries and good relations with certain factions is key. Oh yeah and Shek territory is a rough spot, that's why I like it.

if you unequip your backpack and put it into your inventory weighs the full amount again (bandits also wont steal food from it while its unequipped)
