what mods do enable hiver queens to be turned over to their rivals in kenshi as bounties to enable the ones rewarding the bounty to move in on their adversaries former territory to prevent fogmen
The most relevant mod I found is Bad Guys Redux , which lets you play as a Hive Queen and mass-recruit Hivers from existing spawns, but it does not appear to add a direct “turn queen over as a bounty” feature by itself. I did not find a confirmed Kenshi mod in the results that specifically lets you hand Hive Queens to rival factions as bounties so they can occupy the territory afterward.
What seems closest
- Bad Guys Redux : lets you control a Hive Queen and build a force from existing Hivers.
- Settlement takeover / world-state mods : the search result about taking over settlements suggests there are mods focused on ownership changes, but not clearly bounty-driven Queen handoff.
- Hive overhauls like Mogwai Hive Rework and Hives Expanded add Hive content and faction flavor, but the results do not show the specific bounty-and-territory mechanic you described.
Likely answer
If you want that exact behavior, it may require a combo of mods plus FCS editing rather than one ready-made mod. A practical path would be:
- Use a Hive/faction overhaul for richer Hive content.
- Use a settlement/world-state takeover mod for post-bounty territory changes.
- Edit bounty/faction relations in FCS to make a captured Queen trigger a handoff or invasion chain.
Useful search angle
The best keywords to hunt with are:
- “Kenshi world state takeover mod”
- “Kenshi bounty faction overhaul”
- “Kenshi settlement ownership mod”
- “Kenshi Hive Queen bounty mod”
I don’t have a verified mod name that does exactly what you want, but the closest confirmed pieces are Bad Guys Redux for Hive Queen play and takeover-oriented mods for territory changes.
