As of Version 3.3 of the Unofficial Patches for Kenshi, the UPK has been split into two mods. Both mods work independently of each other, though in the future the EN module may require the Main module as a dependency:
Unofficial Patches for Kenshi (Main module, all bugfixes and Qol improvements, as well as grammar changes related to new items, research, etc.) Unofficial Patches for Kenshi EN (English module, all vanilla grammar corrections to dialogue, names, descriptions, etc.)
The reason for this is because of how many grammar changes were incorporated with Grammar Paladin. Kenshi's player base ranges across the world, and I felt uncomfortable making changes that might result in non-English speaking players being unable to understand numerous dialogue changes. Modding at the end of the day is about trying to keep things new and fun for everyone, and I want to avoid doing something that could massively infringe on that goal. Therefore, going forward this is how the UPK will be structured:
Included in both modules Any Dialogue changes that address bugs (i.e. Honest Big Grim - Quest Fix, Tinfist's WANTED poster reward and Skeleton repair bed cost typos) All Dialogue Condition changes All Dialogue Effect changes All Dialogue trigger changes Removed Dialogue changes Removed Dialogue Condition changes Removed Dialogue Effect changes Removed Dialogue trigger changes All current Dialogue Package changes All current New Dialogue changes (i.e. Fixed Vanilla Raids and Recruit Ray by freeing him)
Included in UPK EN Vanilla Dialogue grammar corrections All Word Swap changes (including new word swaps such as any of the OPENER word swaps) Vanilla Name corrections Vanilla Description grammar corrections
Not included in UPK EN New Items (i.e. Fishsticks, no way to split off item names/descriptions) New Names (i.e. Composite Runners + Strings Fix, too reliant on core mod changes to split off on its own) New Descriptions (i.e. Composite Runners + Strings Fix)
