Mod «Vital Sense» for Kenshi

Vital Sense adds lightweight on-screen markers for downed characters and configurable bounty symbols for both downed and live targets. These markers appear only while the ALT key is held.
This mod requires RE_Kenshi.
Features:

• Hold ALT to display state tags and bounty icons for visible targets.
• Release ALT to hide markers immediately.
• Default state tags:
  • ZZ = Unconscious
  • RC = Recovery coma
  • DY = Dying
  • PD = Playing dead
  • DE = Dead

Configuration: Edit the

mods\Vital-Sense\mod-config.json

• Toggling text or icons globally.
• Enabling or disabling specific states (unconscious, recovery coma, dying, playing dead, dead).
• Customizing text content, text size, icon textures, and icon sizes for each state.
• Setting relation colors using hex codes for enemies, allies, and squad members.

Compatibility:

• Supports Kenshi version 1.0.65.
• No special load order is required beyond enabling RE_Kenshi.
• May conflict with other mods that patch player update or UI render paths.

Troubleshooting:

• Ensure RE_Kenshi is installed and enabled.
• Verify that

  RE_Kenshi.json

  includes

  Vital-Sense.dll

  .
• If markers do not appear, check that

  enabled=true

  in the config and hold ALT if

  only_when_alt_held=true

  .
• If icons fail to load, verify the icon texture paths in

  mod-config.json

  .
