Kenshi Prototype

BUILD / Developer portal

Build with RE_Kenshi

Follow one known-good path from traditional modding to a loaded native plugin, then branch into focused examples.

Ordered learning path

From FCS work to native code

RE_Kenshi plugins load C++ code and can reach systems that ordinary FCS data mods cannot. Establish the official example environment before designing a larger extension.

  1. 01

    Understand the boundary
