Endgame City Building Advanced
By the endgame your base stops being a shelter and starts being a statement.
Scale a settled base into a self-sufficient city with full production, strong defences and a large trained population.
From Base To City
An endgame base is a city — full production chains, large-scale farming, deep defences and a population of trained characters who run it all.
Self-Sufficiency
A true city produces its own food, power, gear and income, needing nothing from the outside world. Every chain is closed and stocked.
Defence At Scale
Large cities draw the heaviest raids. Extensive walls, many turrets and a strong standing garrison are required, not optional.
The Payoff
An endgame city is the closest Kenshi has to a victory condition — a permanent mark on an indifferent world, built and held by a squad that started with nothing.
