What to study

Select a building in Kenshi and the interface re-purposes itself: the panel that showed a person's wounds a moment ago now shows a workshop's. The Weapon Smith III is Working, staffed 1/1, running at 200% efficiency, drawing 30 power against the outpost's 31/30, an over-capacity grid reported in the same flat rows as everything else, no warning colour, no alarm. The values are the game's real working numbers (-indoors: false, -gatecode: 1), and the design lesson is trust: a simulation this systemic does not summarise, it discloses. Above the panels the smith works the anvil in the sand, so the building in the world and the building in the interface remain one object seen twice, the base-management screen is the base, with its paperwork open. Frame at about 1:02 in the Kenshi - Gameplay Trailer (Steam; scene-change survivor v0_0004).

Screen inventory

• selecting a building re-purposes the character panel wholesale: bottom-left now reads 'Weapon Smith III / Nameless / Working' with Town: Your Outpost, Crafting: Guardless Katana, a red Dismantle option, Workers 1/1, Efficiency 200% and Max efficiency 200%, the same screen real estate serves a person or a building, whichever is selected
• the middle strip becomes the building's body: Condition 35, then working values shown unrounded and faintly debug-plain (-floor 0, -indoors false, -gatecode 1) and a Power row at 30, Kenshi opens its ledger rather than curating a summary
• a second panel floats at right for the whole settlement: 'Your Outpost', Open to public checkbox, Research: None, Power 31/30 (over capacity, reported without alarm), Battery charge 0/0, the base economy as three lines
• the world and the ledger stay the same object: the smith hammers at the anvil above the panels, a tooltip bar ('Open research window') sits mid-screen where the cursor rests, and the 11-portrait SQUAD strip stays centred below, the outpost is run from inside it, not from a separate management mode
