Description
This is a project where I go through all the Kenshi mods, including the less known or older/forgotten ones, and pick the most interesting ones, so you don't have to.

From here, you can explore a significant part of Kenshi workshop by browsing a tree of collections instead of trying to explore a list of 1600+ mods.

I hope by this I can help you to find mods that do things you didn't think possible or that solve problems you didn't know you had.

Most of the mods get on the list by doing something unique, or something very fun, or something that might feel like would be needed/wanted by bigger audience.

I'll avoid adding mods that consist of changing stats on weapons/characters to make them more powerful.
I'll avoid adding mods that add entities from different IPs and total overhauls of that nature (no Star-Wars, Star-Trek, WH40k, Battlestar Galactica, Dr Who, Avatar, Alien, Predator, Terminator or any other major sci-fi lore that does not fit in Kenshi setting).
MadMax might slip through, if not immersion breaking.

Extra points for adding new gameplay possibilities.
Extra points for ingenuity.
Extra points for increasing the Quality of Life and decreasing tedium (making it easier for the player, not necessarily for the character).

The list is not tested if all the mods work together, so I'm disabling the "subscribe" button on this collection.

Update Dec 25 2018:
  • As the list grows pretty big and I still have about 16 pages of mods to go through, I'll be changing this to be a collection of collections, so added layer of categories would make it easier to browse to the mods relevant to your interests the most.

  • Some mods might end up in multiple collections as dog hunger rate mod would end up both in Animals and in Food/Hunger collections.
    Collections brand images will be coming tomorrow. done.

  • To see the collections that this contains, please scroll down to the bottom of the page.
  • All masterfully crafted sub-collections of this project will also be marked with the sun symbol ☼, so keep your eyes peeled for them when browsing the workshop :>

Update Dec 26 2018:
  • Decided to limit the number of collections a mod might be in, to two, to avoid constantly seeing the same mods in different collections.
  • Manually reordered mods in all the collections to group similar mods together on the list. The order of the list does not reflect relevance, importance, quality or any other value judging system.

Update Dec 27 2017:
  • Added a dozen+ categories with temporary icon, as making icons was slowing me down.
  • Over two hundred mods already categorized, categories fine-tuned to offer some kind of balance between very narrow but specific ones and ones that would offer greater cross-discovery value. Also some collections have now other related collections linked.
  • The few mods not moved into sub-collections are ones for which I couldn't come up with the category idea.

Please rate / comment / suggest interesting mods / categories. All feedback is welcome.
