Kenshi: Race Tierlist 

I don't care how accurate it is, I'm just glad people still keep making content for Kenshi

now do one for real life

Obviously Hive Worker Drones are S tier, for the sole reason that Beep exists

Race Tier List is crazy 😂

Secret Hiver advantages you only notice when you really learn to play them: -run fast -faster combat speeds -bleed out slowly -weak limbs= toughness xp and robotics (annoying early game, great mid-late game) -less food for workers=more profits on agricultural goods -sex appeal At first they are squishy, but after you train them up they are surprisingly resilient. It's unlikely that a fairly tough hiver will succumb to its wounds before another comes to heal them up. The faster combat speed is actually noticeable aswell, they hit fast, block fast, and stumble faster. They can punch slightly above their weight if you have enough of them, which is more manageable seeing as how they eat a quarter as much as a shek does. Get like 10-3-5 ratio of soldiers, princes, and sturdier workers.The soldiers will tank most attacks, workers create gaps with their crossbows, and princes renforce where needed (though their role is more of a noncombat stealth/thief/assassin/medical role). Add a few pack animals and you have a solid caravan. Leave the rest of the worker drones with a small contingent of soldiers and princes home in a sweatshop pumping out whatever food/intoxicant/medic/robotics you think is fun. Theres a mod I want to try that adds portable camp turret crossbows that I think would make my hiver caravan a force to be reckoned with. In all, a lone hiver is weak. Each class has weaknesses that make them less appealing than other races. However, each classes weaknesses are covered by the other twos strengths. When you combine them the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

I disagree with almost everything in here but you made some good points. Personally, my tierlist would look like this: 1. Skeletons 2. Sheks. 3. Greenlanders/Schorchlanders 4. H. Prince 5. H. Work Drone 6. H. Soldier Drone. Skeletons first because they are good at every stage of the game while sheks are better at late/mid game. Although being unable to wear most armor, skeletons make up for their incredible resilience as they heal faster and require repairing instead of bandaging, which means you can get into battles more frequently which means more combat experience. So while sheks might the best warriors in the long term, they require much more resources to maintain while also having a slow movement speed and a lot of skill xp debuffs. My point is that skeletons are better than sheks in literally everything besides fighting. Need workers? Skeletons can work 24/07 without needing food or rest. Need fighters? Skeletons can engage in multiple battles in a single day and repair fast while most races needs to heal in bed after a quick skirmish. Need explorers? Skeletons can travel the whole map without worrying about weather, food or being eaten alive by beak things. The armor restrictions is a good price to pay for such versatile race.

1. Greenlanders and Scorchlanders 6. Everybody else Because “Man was made in God’s image, not you!” 🎉genocide intensifies🎉

Kenshi and DF, a man of taste.

the solo naked martial arts using hiver drone is the intended and most balanced playstyle

1 important point, there are mods that fix the armor. The cut resistance is bugged in vanilla, its incorrectly calculated. When you fix that, the few more hp/limb don't way up against bleeding. Shek is weaker than I.e. scorchlanders, because they bleed much quicker. Which means you die quicker. Personally i rarely play Sheks. Skellies are obviously op, just not in the first few hours when you don't have a repair kit etc. But after that, they shine, literally ;) The strongest warrior is Obviously Cyber Beep though!

I think Shek re supreme and need to defeat those greedy Hivers

It is true that the shek is the best 1 on 1 fighter. But kensi doesn't exist in a vacuum, and I feel you heavily undervalue the strength of the skeleton. Fighting in kenshi isn't as linear and straightforward as you are putting it. Armor values and hp are important, but the most important variables in a fight I find (especially early on) are what happens outside a fight. Shek eat a lot more than every other race, a point you seem to gloss over. With one character, it is hardly noticeable, but with 5-6, you notice how much of a burden this can really be. Food is something extra you have to bring. Something that will eat up your cats, take up your space, and weigh you down more. It's the little things like these that can really add up. The biggest detriment, though, is how slow the shek heal. This, coupled with their high hp, means you will take longer to recover. You will be out of fights longer than other races and won't be able to fight for as long. You may have a higher peak but will have less longevity. This can be especially dangerous if your character needs to get out of a dangerous situation but is unable to fight/run away without help. This completely flips on its head when we talk about the skeleton. Though, the skeleton may have a higher upfront cost and have less armor slots. It has the highest longevity out of all the races in kenshi. By a long shot. Being able to instantly repair cut damage is a huge game changer. It means you can get back into fights more often and at a higher hp average than your opponents. This, along with the highest hp in the game, makes the skeleton a formidable foe. The only real danger to the skeleton I find are blunt weapons (something you don't often have to deal with in the wild) However, all the negatives fade away once you are able to create your own skeleton repair beds. Especially those on the go. You can run into fights, cause a lot of damage, run away to the safety of your base, and be back in a matter of minutes with max hp. They aren't isn't as adaptable as a sleeping bag, but the benefits outweigh the negatives in my mind The no food requirement for skeletons is more of a bonus. Oh and I just rate humans as f teir. Not because they're bad but because the HN suck and humans are kinda boring

skeletons are stronger than shek ,people have tested this ,the armor doesnt matter.

The problem with tier lists is that they are made by laymen for complete noobs. Anyone who plays a vanilla game is a noob, a noob who is afraid of mods and plays vanilla first is a lifelong noob. Kenshi without the Genesis project is like civilization 5/6 or a game from paradox interactive without DLC. But everything is different there. In first place is the hive of warrior drones. Because they get armor for the body that has 100% coverage for the head. Attention, the head slot is still inaccessible to them - this is the main armor that covers the head 100%. In addition, they simply have better armor that is only suitable for hives, but their recipes are harder to get and craft than armor for people. All this makes them much more durable than Sheks. There is no such armor for skeletons, otherwise they would create an imbalance. But what really creates an imbalance is the hive Praetorians, who can be under your command and wear armor available to hive soldiers. This devalues all Sheks and Skeletons completely.
