QoL Mods
QoL mods do not make Kenshi easier. They make it less annoying — and that is a different, very welcome thing.
Quality-of-life mods that remove tedium without touching difficulty or balance.
What This Covers
Quality-of-life mods streamline interface, squad management, building and inventory handling. They cut clicks and confusion, not challenge.
Compatibility
Generally safe and lightweight. A few that change building or UI deeply can conflict with overhauls — read each mod's notes.
Beginner Friendliness
Excellent for new players. QoL mods make Kenshi's harsh systems easier to operate without removing the harshness itself.
Recommended Mods
“Buy a Bonedog puppy early and raise it through your squad’s fights.”
