Greenlanders

Greenlanders — Kenshi Races reference image

Greenlanders are the wasteland's default. That sounds dull until you realise being unremarkable is its own kind of safety.

The baseline human race — no special strengths, no special weaknesses, and welcome almost everywhere.

Wanderer's TipFor a first run, a Greenlander male sidesteps the most painful faction hostility in the game. Pick one until you know the map.

Overview

Greenlanders are the standard human race — balanced stats, no environmental quirks, and the broadest social acceptance of any race.

Strengths

Greenlander males are tolerated by the Holy Nation, opening the safe green centre of the map. They have no stat penalties and adapt to any build.

Weaknesses

They have no standout strengths either — no bonus toughness, no faster healing, no immunity to anything. They are the benchmark every other race is measured against.

Best Playstyles

Anything. Greenlanders suit every build, and a Greenlander male is the most frictionless choice for a first playthrough.

Wanderer's Note

“Toughness is trained by losing. Get downed where guards will save you, then heal and repeat.”
