Universal Wasteland Expansion

Universal Wasteland Expansion leans into the part of Kenshi that hurts, and makes the survival real.

UWE — an overhaul that sharpens Kenshi's survival edge with deeper systems and a harsher economy.

What It Changes

UWE deepens survival systems, reworks the economy toward scarcity, and adds content and challenge while keeping Kenshi's harsh, grounded tone.

Compatibility

UWE is a substantial overhaul and should be run as the dominant mod, low in the order, without competing overhauls.

Performance

Additional systems and content raise load; pair with performance mods for a stable experience.

Beginner Friendliness

UWE is harsher than vanilla and aimed at players who already know the base game well.
