About
MeitouClient is an open-source reimplementation of the Kenshi engine in C# and .NET 10 with a Vulkan renderer. It is a drop-in replacement: the original game content, FCS mods and vanilla save games run unchanged. It needs your own copy of Kenshi, and no game assets are distributed.
Faithful
The game as it ships: its look, behaviour and formulas, kept close to the original.
Meitou default
Our graphical and gameplay enhancements in the theme of vanilla Kenshi.
Every enhancement is its own switch, so the two modes can be mixed freely.
We are of the belief that Kenshi is a phenomenal game held back by its technology. The MeitouClient project seeks to enhance the experience while keeping the spirit of the base game intact, while allowing the player the freedom to customize the experience to be as close to vanilla as they want.
The project is free, fully open-source and licensed under GPL-3.
Enhanced Graphics
advanced graphics features such as global illumination, long-distance shadows, vastly increased render distances and DLSS possible. All enhancements are fully configurable.
