Hiver Expansion

This mod is no longer being updated or supported... for a more updated version of this mod's assets and a more immersive experience with said assets, check out my mod:

Universal Wasteland Expansion

^Which is being actively developed and supported, for the foreseeable future...


A large hiver faction overhaul mod that branches the Western Hive Faction into 3 separate, but allied, hiver factions(Each faction has their own created textures and races). Adjusts hive villages to have hiver bars, animal traders(beak things and gorillos available), and ranger stations to enforce faction laws.

2 newly created hive factions, allied to Western Hive:
Midland Hive(a darkened grayish-black variation of hivers), located in Dreg.
Northern Hive(a red and black variation of hivers), located in Sinkuun/Northern Coast.

All Hive Villages had 2(or more in some cases) hive commune huts added. Hiver bars, animal traders, ranger stations, armor shops and weapon shops were added to various hive villages to add further detail and immersion.
You can now take a load off and stop in at a hive village for some grog and hiver recruits or sleep off a night of beak thing hunting at a comfy bed on a nasty dirt floor at a hiver bar. Added in farms at varying hive villages to give more immersion for the hive workers.Found a bounty wanted by the hive? No problem, take them to your local hiver ranger station and collect your bounty.
The following two races were added in along with a hiver animal trader:
*Domesticated Beak Thing(In 3 color variations)
*Domesticated Gorillo(In 4 color variations)







Added in a cannibalistic faction of lost hivers in Purple Sands.

All hiver spawns are conditonal upon their respective queen's health.

Armed and clothed with specific play styles in mind to create a more varied approach by hivers in Kenshi.
Western Hive: General, Basic
Midland Hive: Rogue-like and Under-handed
Northern Hive: Brutish and Xenophobic


Pacifiers were added in for the created hiver factions. Along with having a chance to spawn at any Waystation, created hiver faction's pacifiers are located in:
Midland Hiver; Mongrel
Northern Hiver; World's End
