Skill Trees

See also Skills for a detailed explanation of Skills and Abilities

There are currently four skills lines - Repair, Production, Administration, and Research. Trade-Off skills are marked with (T). Trade-Off skills are special in that the skills that depend on them do not need training--you gain the ability to use the dependent skills when you train the trade-off skill to the reqauired level.

Repair

Training Skills

Skills in Seed are trained over time, although they may also be boosted by the use of Inspirations. Training time (in minutes) is calcuated according the following formula: 

Training Time = ( 2 ^ level ) * 300 * ( difficulty ^ 3 )

So for instance, to train Administration Level 2 (Diff: 2) it will take: 

( 2 ^ [Level 2] ) * 300 * ( [Diff 2] ^ 3 ) = 9600 seconds = 160 minutes (2h40m)

To train Containment Tech Level 4 (Diff: 3) it will take: 

( 2 ^ [Level 4] ) * 300 * ( [Diff 3] ^ 3 ) = 43200 seconds = 720 minutes (~12h)

Note that the above times have been shortened for beta. It has not yet been said what the times will be for the official game.

Bugs and Workarounds

Currently, there is a bug that causes training time to be lost when the server crashes. One workaround for this is to login in periodically, switch your training to another skill, and then switch it back. This forces the training to be recorded back to the database, like a save point. However, due to another bug, sometimes the training display shows both skills training simultaneously. This appears to be a display bug, and it is likely that neither skill is actually training. You will probably have to restart the game client to get the display to correct itself.

After a server crash, training does not restart automatically like it should. You will have to do this manually for now.
