Could you build this?
No Rewriting a massive open-world RPG like Kenshi from scratch in Rust and Bevy by reverse-engineering proprietary game assets, physics, pathfinding, and AI systems is an immense game engine engineering feat impossible for vibe coding.
What it would actually take: The project requires reverse-engineering Kenshi's custom Ogre3D engine formats, Havok physics data, and proprietary FCS (Forgotten Construction Set) game data files, then reimplementing them in Rust using the Bevy ECS framework. Hard parts include large-scale terrain streaming, complex hierarchical AI pathfinding over 3D navmeshes, and robust modding architecture matching the original game. It requires a senior game engine developer with reverse engineering and systems programming expertise.
