wow nice update!
i still try to figure out how to build a base, can't seem to find materials… or what those are called
In some of the cities (not all), inside the "Trade" building, you can buy Building Materials.
Once you set up an outpost, make sure that you build a Stone Quarry and Stone Processor before you run out of building materials, because having those two will allow you to make your own materials on site.
Because walls have been temporarily removed from the game (and even when they're back it'll still take time to build them), make sure that you're ready for a zerg rush of bandits about 4-8 strong. They WILL patrol across your outpost location, and even after you wipe them out I'm pretty sure they eventually respawn. Therefore your second priority should be to set up research and make some beds for when your guys inevitably get incapacitated.
All of the above should be enough to get you started.
It's probably because the retail version has a differently named executable. The steam executable is running as: kenshi_steam.exe
you mean i can make your trainer work with the Desura version?
