For this Kenshi location guide, we'll be taking a look at both Stobe's Garden and Stobe's Gamble to evaluate if setting up a base there is worth a try. Despite their hostile environments, perhaps there is hope still among the garbage piles?

Love the Sseth reference. I've just settled in Stobe's Garben and all I can say is that I love the character development potential from the amount of strong yet beatable enemies in the area. Just have to be careful with the Skin Bandit raids, bros turned my free Ells into sausage. Rip Ells, may you steal more booze in hell.

I did settle in stobe's garden in early mid game surrounding stobe himself and incorporated him into my base for roleplay reason. Do note, from my experiences crab and skeleton bandits will not attack you, until there settlements appear on your map and you will only have to deal with reavers and black dragon ninja raids with patrols of crab bandits, reavers, and skeleton bandits a common occurrence. So if you do not want to get raided by the crab bandits or skeleton bandits, do not go to their base, unless you are going to ally with them.

Settled my end game base just south of the ruined way station in stobes garden. It’s a great location for training combat skills. Fun tip: instead of allowing the skin bandit raids to run off with all of your unconscious characters, simply allow all of them in your base and then close the gate. The ai does not know how to act and you can just keep getting up over and over again and even place your guys in beds to heal while they just stand around and wait to be killed. Maximum training efficiency.

I just settled in Shun for the first time... really underrated starter base location you can safely start a base there right off the bat, provided you have the materials, sure depending on where you start it can be quite a perilous journey especially at low level, the zone is not claimed by any faction meaning you won't have any raids knocking at your door but you can still get into fights with roaming squads, it's a 100% arid environment with 100% fertility, there's tons of iron and plenty of copper all around and there's lots of roaming garru and the occasional white gorillo, oh and skin spider so yea.. It's chuck full of ancient libraries and even an ancient tech lab, it's also close to Drifter's Last and it's pretty safe to send people to sell stuff in town since there are no nest spawns in the zone. Oh and the views and aesthetics are slowly becoming my favorite in the game you can really see what was lost in this zone so much implied lore. All in all this is going to be my new goto starter location from now on.. it's extremely underrated.

@mattbowdenuh 8 ай бұрын

Agreed. Shun is good for starter. No raids, lot of libraries for books. Good for the trading with the swamp cycle and united cities of rum/sake & hash. I made a comment about it myself on one of his videos before.

Settling in Stobe's Garben has easily been my favorite playthrough. Currently at least 70 hours into this playthrough. Modded, and I don't know if I'd enjoy it as much in the base game. I added the Ceasar's legion faction(playing as them) and have mods like party size 256 and recruit prisoners, started off at the hub and made a bunch of money mining and looting, grabbed some recruits and found my dream spot a plateau with only one ramp up. Started extremely difficult and frustrating but once I was able to do some research, build some defenses and then over time increase in numbers by taking out Reaver patrols and camps and converting their guys. Eventually we were strong enough to take out the Ark, then over time Crab Town, then the Skeleton Bandits and then finally the Black Dragon Ninjas(low priority) Now Stobe's Garden is a pretty happy and peaceful place where we have a massive city and are in the process of destroying the United Cities while collecting as many bounties and nobles along the way. I just love that the world of Kenshi reacts to what you do, and over time you can turn a pretty hellish place into a comfy home.

@@Busson_0 ahh, I see, well I am mostly interested in the "systems" and less so in the "narrative" parts. History for me is about understanding fundamental processes etc. e.g., tactics, organization etc. and the guiding principles, not how they necessarily play out. Same with games, I like Kenshi, Starsector and Skyrim (although that has narrative elements) in it and I am not really happy with Baldur's Gate or Divinity. I really like emergent gameplay, I like to play in the sandbox and shape it myself. I really like Steel Division 2 and Warno as well, but again, there is little to no narrative in those.

Stobes Garden is my favourite spot for a settlement. Made a base where he rests and walled off the entire plateau. Plenty of space for farming and if you build your gates correct you can force stall all raids and prevent them from ever reaching the settlement and beginning attack, letting you kill them all off with 1 or 2 turrets.( Importing/exporting can mess up the gates and change the base marker location in dev mode so you may need to fix it any time you import or add mods)

@SantaCruzJackRegist 6 ай бұрын

Depending on where you build in stobe's garden, you will get skin bandit raids too which can be incredibly overwhelming. (I built roughly in the area you labeled "very good + waterfront"). I recommend just getting rid of savant with your best ninja, play it safe. Aside from that, that area offers iron, copper, water, and excellent fertility. The added bonus of having stobe overlooking your base can be pretty cool for roleplay purposes, and if you ally with anti-slavers your friends aren't far.

@4sythdude549 6 ай бұрын

Yeah, I was wondering where he was getting the sizes from. Oh boy, I feel a nerdy analysis coming... I've never really timed how long it took one of my characters to run from one place to another, but in a playthrough I'm doing right now, I had a character with an (about) 20mph running speed run from Heng to the waystation in Grey Desert in about 6 hours (and that distance is about 1/7th the height of the continent according to my ground breaking tech of putting a ruler up to my computer screen). This means that a 20mph character can cross the whole map in about 42 hours in ideal circumstances (this seems right from my own experience and others' playthroughs). 20mph * 42 hours = 840 miles. For simplicity's sake, let's assume the continent is a perfect square (height is same as length). This would give the continent an area of over 700,000 square miles. It's definitely at least a bit smaller than that considering coastline wrinkly-ness and such. This makes the continent about the same size as (and just as desolate as) Afghanistan. This is all very rough, of course. I count the word 'about' 5 times in my little tirade.

@fjorddenierbear4832 8 ай бұрын

I decided to venture into the Ahlands, barely surviving the skin bandits. I savescummed my way out of there, avoiding skin bandit patrols. Now it's time to build a base. My closest base is Gut, so I think I'll do Stobe's next! Gut isn't really challenging once you've got the base set up.

@paulrogersgaming 8 ай бұрын

Sounds like a good plan. A sustainable base often requires larger squads (~10 for just the base itself) depending on what you're doing. Much of the manpower ends up being for defense tbh but that also depends on how hostile the environment is. Hopefully I'll cover the desert regions in the future, but there are a good number of other spots on the waiting list at the moment!
