What it changes

A deeper layer for Kenshi

RE_Kenshi reaches systems that ordinary data mods cannot, while keeping control and configuration inside the game.

Attempt an emergency save when Kenshi crashes and expose clearer diagnostic information.

Configure game speeds, camera distance, attack slots, and selected faction limits.

Use shader caching and heightmap options designed to reduce selected loading costs.

Build C++ extensions with KenshiLib and make changes beyond the traditional mod tools.
