Research Mod - Books>Ancient Books>Engineering>AI

awful mood, it messes with AI cores spawn in labs and they DONT spawn at all it spawns copper alloy instead of them
was wandering why i found 2 AI cores after clearing all guaranteed AI cores spawn (shold ve had like 15)
dont use it, its way way easier to find them then try to craft with 1000 books => AI core rate (im not joking)

This mod is incompatible with Genesis.

idk but book binder need "parchment" for books, but there is no parchment craft station in the mod

Still works but I often run in the issue of crafting materials disappearing as I put them in the book binder or engineering plans crafting table

Works amazingly.
The one huge issue I have with it is the limit on paper being made from Hemp.
I live in a location where I cannot grow hemp without hydroponics.
All I've got is Iron, Copper, Water, and Cactus.

You should, for world wide balance reasons, be able to make Stacks of Paper out of more plant types. The one I'm gonna vouch for the hardest here is Cactus because it's what I have.

Here's a (heavily bugged) article about using cactus to 1. Make alcohol, and 2. Make paper. One of these is already in Kenshi.

To save you part of the hassle of even trying to use this website, the "People also ask" section of the google page gave me a quote from that article which says

"Can paper be made from cactus?
It has- been demonstrated that ' the- pulp' of the. leaves, is good for paper making. : '."

For me, and all of us Kenshi players who live in a totally Arid location, plz halp bruv.

works 2023 good mod

Alright, I've given ample time with no response. Unfortunate, but eventually we all want to move on to newer things and modding different games. Thank you ForgeDrake for having made this, I'll pick up the torch from here then.


The refurbished mod has been uploaded, a few things have been changed as detailed in the description, and this is not a final version by any means. I'm willing to try to rebalance things out or make changes if the suggestions are sensible and detailed, so don't be afraid to ask.


I will support the mod as long as I can and as long as people have interest in it. I haven't done a ton of testing with it since I lack good save files for it, so if you have suggestions on things that can be tweaked, including a good save file would be awesome. Here you guys go, by popular demand:

@Hammer I don't wish to undermine ForgeDrake, but as an active Steam user that has now moved onto Empyrion, I for one would assume he would not be offended by the notion that another has taken the mantle & refurbished his mod. More so, could I get a copy of your tweaked edition prior to an official release? ^_^;;

@Hammer actually nothing to do with this mod, but I am trying to get my head wrapped around the FCS for mods and working on another old one which doesnt get updated and see if I could get it to work but I need some starting help, any chance of a short crash course in FCS and where to find the datas via Steam/Teamspeak ?

I've given my fixes testing and they seem to work like a charm. I'd like to be courteous and give the original author until June to respond with his intentions (if he intends on fixing the mod himself and continuing to update it) before I do a reupload, since this is still technically his mod. If he states he has no further intention of supporting the mod, or he does not comment by June, I will reupload the mod and, to the best of my ability, support it through Kenshi's updates.


One of the changes I did make though, is the paper press using cotton instead of hemp. Seed fibres are commonly used to make paper, so hemp never made much sense to me (especially since, IIRC, hemp and biproducts of hemp are mostly illegal in the game. Since books would be made out of them, it would mean books would be illegal... so yeah.)
