Kenshi guide: how to make money

Four surefire ways to get rich quick in the game

The issue of earning kats (in-game currency) in Kenshi is relevant to this day. Below we will offer you four main methods to get rich in the game.

Method number 1. Lure enemies to the guards and collect loot

Great for beginners and low level characters. Also suitable if you are trying to survive without a squad. First you need to unload your inventory, since the character must be as fast and enduring as possible. The main condition for successful farming of cuts is that your hero must be faster than opponents.

First you need to attract the attention of wild animals or robbers. After that, run away from them, moving towards the guards.

A short step-by-step instruction looks something like this:

1. Free inventory from foreign objects (reset everything to the maximum).
2. Head to nearby enemies and make sure you run faster.
3. Find marauders or animals, attract their attention (so that they run after the main character).
4. Move to the guard of the nearest city and move away to a safe distance.
5. Wait for the guards to destroy opponents, then pick up all the loot from the killed characters.
6. Remember that searching a guard’s corpse will count as theft, so avoid doing this.
7. After collecting useful items, go to the nearest merchant and sell them.

Method number 2. Copper mining

Farming with this method will take much more time, but in the end, all efforts will pay off, since by improving and developing the copper mining process you will increase the final profit.

To get started, you must earn start-up capital (for example, use the first method) to purchase ten materials for construction. You won’t be able to transport them at once, so move them in parts. To do this, freeze the construction.

The main task is to create a structure near the city guards and copper ore. With the help of the former, you can quickly deal with the attacking opponents, and the closest location of the mine will reduce the time spent on transporting the extracted resources. To construct a building, you will need five materials. When it is completed, start the construction of the research station in the building (three more building materials).

When the station is ready, research the copper storage site. After that, craft several of these containers and move to the copper mine. The copper mining process is slow.

Brief step by step instructions :

1. Earn enough money and buy building materials.
2. Find a suitable place where there are guards and a copper mine nearby.
3. Build a hut, build a research station inside. During research, you can close the door that will prevent the appearance of enemies.
4. In the center, examine the containers and build a couple.
5. Get ore from a nearby mine and sell it to a merchant.

Important . In the process of developing production, you can hire new workers, purchase backpacks for them, and so on.

Method number 3. Manufacture of wearing apparel

Another way of earning kats will be very effective if you combine it with copper mining. First, you will need to save money and buy the necessary resources – 12 cotton seeds and 6 books. Some merchants have them. Next, go to the scientific station and start some research. You will need to learn the process of picking cotton, making cloth, clothes and hats. All this requires 2 cotton seeds and 6 books.

After these actions, you will have 10 cotton seeds. They will need to be used for their intended purpose: to grow the crops from which clothing is made. But before that, you will have to find a suitable place to build a farm – next to a well, or a water tank.

Once you have chosen a location and built a farm, you can move on to planting cotton. Before doing this, the ground must be thoroughly watered. Otherwise, the harvest may be lost. When the cotton grows, build a loom and find a worker with good clothing making skill to do it. Assign him to this place.

Having received resources, do not rush to send them all to the production of clothes. To begin with, they should be directed to improving the farm itself: hire more workers, since the higher the skill of making clothes, the more expensive it will be.

Brief step by step instructions :

1. Stock up on initial capital (for example, using the first or second method).
2. Purchase 12 Cotton Seeds and 6 Books.
3. Go to the Science Center and complete 4 improvements related to cotton mining and clothing production.
4. Build a farm near water.
5. Plant cotton seeds.
6. Upgrade your cotton farm, train and hire new workers.
7. After receiving money from the sale of manufactured clothes, invest it in the business again. The better the worker, the more expensive the clothing produced.

Method number 4. Slave owners

In the world of Kenshi, you can find slave owners with whom you can trade (buy or sell). Few people know, but with their help you can get rich, and the proposed farming method will increase your relationship with the slave owners. You will not need to go into the file editor and so on.

First, you need an animal and its owner. Next, move to the Union City and find the slave owner. Chat with him and tell him that you would like to sell a couple of slaves. When the sell window appears, select an animal and sell. Repeat these steps until you have earned the required number of kats.

Puppies are not worth selling. It is better to wait until they grow up, which will take about a month. Slave owners’ money is refreshed every 24 hours.
