JaxTeller718 Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 (edited) I did not want to include this in the Modlet Collection because I will be working on this separately. This will restore a version of the old Action Skill system. Tool and weapon usage earn you XP in the following categories: Construction Mining Blade Blunt Pistols Rifles Automatics Shotgun Turrets Electric Brawler Javelin Archery Killing with Construction or Mining Tools will grant XP for Blunts or Bladed, Repairing and Upgrading grants XP for upgrading. For now I have excluded chainsaw, augers and nailguns due to rapid XP acceleration and because these tools are special in their own right. Restores the feeling of the Action Skill system from A16 and before. Right now as you use weapons and tools you will acquire Action Skill XP in the category. The skills will provide a boost to damage, stamina, weapon spread and more depending on the item. I will expand on this idea in the future to possibly include unlockable recipes as in previous alphas. This has not been 100 percent fully tested so some inconsistencies may apply. Download Action Skills Do not add this to an existing game or remove it from your game. It relies on buffs and progression and may wipe your save. Please Note: If you level your skills via action and not purchasing there will be a lock icon that is green. You have unlocked that level but this means if you BUY the next level it will not unlock the next white padlock it will unlock the FiRST. This is a side effect of the code, but I did not want to remove the ability to purchase skills. If this is unacceptable you can open the progression xml and replace base_skill_point_cost="1" in the file with base_skill_point_cost="0" Edited December 20, 2021 by JaxTeller718 (see edit history) 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ladarian Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 This is a great idea - really missed this system and I think this is a great way to add it into the current one. I was bummed when they ripped the old system out for the console friendly sloppy dumbed down version we have now. Since it can't be added to a current game ill have to try it next reset - Thanks for the hard work Jax! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madnesis Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Using the Bone Knife (at least right-click action to carve meat) doesn't seem to increase the Blade skill. Is this expected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolverine576 Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 (edited) Whats the difference in the Green icon, shopping basket, and the green lock? If i understand it, you have to unlock, by doing the action, then buy with skill points?

JaxTeller718 Posted December 17, 2021 Author Share Posted December 17, 2021 Removed the ability to buy perks as it was interfering with unlocks through the LBD (learn by doing) system. This is an unfortunate side effect of how the skill points work. I will try to return purchasing in the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait, so there are no skill points in this now, so you have to rely solely on leveling things up by doing them? You know, the original was a mix of both, action points and skill points and it made sense and gave me more freedom where I want to put the points versus what's not so worth it, so the less favorite actions were the ones I usually just "learned by doing" instead of investing skill points into them. If there are no skill points here or you simply cannot spend them, then I guess I'd have to pass.

Answer the same question over and over or make things easier for me? I will look into returning the purchase of the points, or you can simply edit it back in yourself by changing one number. base_skill_point_cost="0" to base_skill_point_cost="1" EDIT I have returned the 1 point cost to buy the skills because i do agree it should be both ways. I have noted in the first post about the unlock icon. Edited December 20, 2021 by JaxTeller718 (see edit history) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are a talented modder and if you ask me, I would rather risk a few confused people, but have a good mod in the end. You know your reasons why you want both, so make it what it should be. Thank you for putting points back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tatcoolx Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Very great mod. Thank you very much. "Buy perk" side effect - is nothing compare to awesome feature this mod gives. But, it wil be "the best mod ever" if we(you & all community) could add some other such "mastery skills", like athletics(run) and acrobatics(jump), healing mastery(heals&meds) , armor mastery(damage reduction), or even some skills like bonus damage to animals, zombies, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen the skills improving in real time, like the base damage on my stone axe vs a rock, per thwack, increase over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryuudz Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Oh dude, this mod is crazy good! Please do follow up on updating this mod, I'd love to see something like a "loot" skill in there some day.
