STOBE FAQ

This page covers the current STOBE plugin and StobeServer behavior. Old Skyrim and CHIM-specific answers have been removed.

FAQ

Where are STOBE settings saved

STOBE uses layered config files inside Kenshi\mods\Stobe\.

  • Stobe.ini is the shipped baseline file.
  • StobeCustom.ini stores user and runtime overrides.

On first run, STOBE seeds StobeCustom.ini from Stobe.ini if it does not already exist.

What server address does STOBE use by default

The normal local setup is 127.0.0.1:8083. STOBE builds its server home URL from that and opens:

http://127.0.0.1:8083/StobeServer/

If you want to host the server on another machine, change ServerHost and ServerPort in StobeCustom.ini.

The STOBE server page is not opening or the server is not responding

First confirm that StobeServer is actually running and reachable at the host and port STOBE is using.

  • Default local target is 127.0.0.1:8083.
  • If you changed ServerHost or ServerPort, make sure the server matches those values.
  • You can also use the in-game settings window to open the server page directly.

Where is the STOBE log file

The main mod log is written to:

Kenshi\mods\Stobe\stobe.log

STOBE also writes a root-level stobe.log and a legacy Stobe_SDK.log, but the mod-folder log is the main one to check.

Why did my custom bios, descriptions, or world knowledge not import

STOBE only auto-imports supported top-level CSV files from:

  • mods\Stobe\
  • mods\<YourMod>\Stobe\

The file must be a real .csv, under 10 MB, and named like a supported type such as *_bio_random.csv, *_bio_unique.csv, *_bio_token.csv, *_descriptions.csv, or *_world_knowledge.csv.

If STOBE cannot match the filename or header to a supported import type, it skips the file. Check stobe.log for CSV_IMPORT lines.

Why are animals not talking

Animal talks are disabled by default. Turn on AnimalTalks in the STOBE settings or in StobeCustom.ini if you want animals to be valid chat targets.

I am getting text but no spoken voice

Check the STOBE-side voice settings first:

  • Make sure TtsEnabled is on.
  • Make sure TTSVolume is not set too low.
  • Make sure StobeServer has a valid text-to-speech connector configured.

If the server is responding but audio still never plays, check stobe.log for TTS_PLAYBACK lines.

Why is regular non-AI dialogue not being captured

STOBE has a separate regular dialogue capture toggle. If you want that behavior, turn on Regular Dialogue in the settings window or set EnableRegularDialogueCapture=1 in StobeCustom.ini.

How do I stop the MOTD window from auto-opening

Turn off EnableMOTD in StobeCustom.ini or use the MOTD toggle in the STOBE interface.
