SHOPKEEPER REGENERATION is a lightweight Kenshi mod that allows shopkeepers to respawn after a few in-game days.
Shopkeepers, bartenders, and other traders in Kenshi tend to die randomly in many different situations. Sometimes it is a raid, sometimes a thief, sometimes them helping the town guards, and sometimes it is you, intentionally or not. This quickly becomes frustrating, because the shop still exists but no one is there to run it, leaving you unable to trade there forever.
This mod only edits a single line in specific squads, setting «Regenerates» from «False» to «True».
These specific squads must meet both the following criteria:
- They have «Is a trader» set to True, or allow the DA_TRADE effect to take place.
- They contain no unique characters (e.g. Armour King will never respawn anyway; if «Regenerates» were set to True, only the Thralls would respawn).
SHOPKEEPER REGENERATION does NOT change any world state, prevent town destruction/replacement, or any character. It edits only the shopkeeper-related vanilla squads in the FCS.
If you trigger a world state change in-game, the buildings will still be replaced, and the shopkeepers will change accordingly.
Safe to install or remove mid-save.
Should be compatible with pretty much anything.
Don't forget to import your game when adding or removing mods!
SHOPKEEPER REGENERATION should ideally be loaded after total overhauls or other mods that might set the «Regenerates» line back to «False» for shopkeeping squads.
