Skills
Skills grant new crafting recipes, improve speed and efficiency, and other passive benefits.
The Eco skill system consists of:
- Professions — Broad categories that contain specialties. Professions are mainly for organization.
- Specialties — Unlocked with skill scrolls and learned with Skill Points. Each specialty contains a skill tree with several skills.
- Skills — Learned with Skill Points once the corresponding specialty and/or prerequisite skill are unlocked.
Only the Self Improvement specialty within Survivalist is unlocked at character creation. Other specialties require the crafting of skill books at a Research Table.
Skill Points (SP) are gained at a steady rate based on a player's diet. The exact rate at which a player earns SP is determined by the balance and quality of the player's nutrition and housing.
