Scavenging skill is buggy for me and I think mining skill is, too.
I can't level up scavenging by looting even after breaking up cars and putting my own skillpoints in. My mining skill seems to be going up slower than it should, my brother is almost the same level (44, im 48) even though he hasn't been mining or chopping trees at all. Some digging for the farm and breaking down some doors, thats it. I was moving down forests and digging massive holes, making whole buildings to fall.
Since there is no command to level up a certain skill or give skill points do you have any idea what I could do except filling another chest with engines and batteries?
