Yes, You Can Be a Cannibal in Kenshi Through Modding

ByJames Dorn Last Update on

According to discussions on the Kenshi subreddit and Steam community, the base game does not currently allow players to engage in cannibalism or join cannibal factions. However, PC players have access to user-created mods that add cannibal content and mechanics.

Cannibal Factions in Kenshi

There are multiple procedurally generated cannibal factions that spawn across certain regions of the map, chiefly the Cannibal Plains, Darkfinger, and Hidden Forest areas.Main factions include:

  • Cannibals – Led by the Cannibal Grand Wizard in the Cannibal Capital. Chiefs and camps scattered across central regions.
  • Cannibal Hunters – Anti-cannibal faction based in The Bastion that battles the cannibal hordes.

Though endless, some players try clearing out cannibal camps or allying with the Cannibal Hunters using a patchwork of mods and imports.

Cannibal Playable Races & Gameplay Mods

Popular mods that allow for cannibal characters include:

  • Play as a Cannibal Race – New playable race with unique dialogue and interactions.
  • Cannibalism – Butcher/consume human characters and factions you defeat.

Combined, these mods let you create a cannibal tribe and roam Kenshi engaging in the taboo practice. Some other cannibal-focused mods:

  • Cannibals Expanded – Adds more lore, names, and content.
  • No Hope – Dark focused offshoot that expands cannibal society.

When installed properly alongside requisite patches, the cannibal mod combos open up devious new storytelling avenues for enterprising Wendigos.

How to Mod Kenshi

As always modding comes with risks like crashes and save corruptions. Be sure to back-up saves before experimenting:

  • Install Steam Workshop mods directly from Steam UI.
  • Use Mod Manager for more control.
  • Check mod comments before installing for critical troubleshooting insights.
  • Avoid adding too many mods at once to pinpoint problem sources easier.
  • Post support questions in the Kenshi Mods Discord or subreddit if issues occur.

While unintended by the developers, passionate fans have extended Kenshi‘s dark edgeworld with the ability to play as man-eaters through modding. But proceed with caution – the cannibal path remains twisted and fraught with risk.
