I Added GUNS To Kenshi

Do Guns belong in Kenshi? There's been a lot of conversation about it on both sides. While machine guns and other more modern weapons might feel out of place, I think there are certainly some guns that fit the atmosphere and setting. To this end, I found a mod that adds a type of gun to Kenshi - the Tanegashima Gun Mod. The Tanegashima is a muzzleloader similar to a musket which was introduced to Japan through trade with other nations. For several reasons, I think it's a great addition to Kenshi - it's very slow to reload, not too accurate, doesn't shoot too far, but is very powerful and therefore very satisfying. But, that doesn't mean this is an easy playthrough! We'll be using only the Tanegashima in our primary weapon slot, with no training bows to raise our skills and learn not to shoot each other. We'll not only have to deal with the threats in the world, but with the possibility of shooting each other which could result in loss of life or limb. To make the playthrough more interesting, we're checking out a second major mod: Reactive World. Reactive World expands some of the factions in the base game, as well as the available world states that respond to the player's actions. Using the Reactive World mod, we have a goal: use our firepower to clean up Kenshi's roads and confront the bandits and cannibals that make it difficult to be an average person scraping for survival. We'll aim to confront and eliminate all of the different leaders of these hostile factions, reducing their numbers on the road and therefore making it safer to travel. And, we do it all in Permadeath - no save scumming, and no reloading in general outside of bugs and glitches beyond our control.
