I feel like Kenshi has got to have a similar AI like the Left 4 Dead director who monitors the player and then play certain world events to either increase or decrease the difficulty.

The only difference is I feel like kenshi is specifically made to kick you while you're down!

Legitimately had two of my best guys crippling barely able to survive waddling their way back to the home base and when that happened I got raided by bandits in the base my animals were starving of food and I only had two people guarding the base who were under leveled.

Through sheer might and reloading one time I was able to successfully fend off the bandits and navigate my guys through a radiated spider wasteland back to the base.
