Skills in Seed are trained over time, although they may also be boosted by the use of [[Inspirations]]. Training time (in seconds) is calcuated according the following formula: Skills in Seed are trained over time, although they may also be boosted by the use of [[Inspirations]]. Training time (in seconds) is calcuated according the following formula:
- '''Training Time = ( Level ^2 ) * 300 * ( Diff ^3 )'''+ '''Training Time = ( 2 ^ Level ) * 300 * ( Diff ^3 )'''
So for instance, to train Administration Level 2 (Diff: 2) it will take: So for instance, to train Administration Level 2 (Diff: 2) it will take:
- '''( [Level 2]^2 ) * 300 * ( [Diff 2]^3 ) = 9600 seconds = 160 minutes''' ''(2h40m)''+ '''( 2^[Level 2] ) * 300 * ( [Diff 2]^3 ) = 9600 seconds = 160 minutes''' ''(2h40m)''
To train Containment Tech Level 4 (Diff: 3) it will take: To train Containment Tech Level 4 (Diff: 3) it will take:

Training Skills

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

Training Time = ( 2 ^ Level ) * 300 * ( Diff ^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 ) = 129600 seconds = 2160 minutes (72h)

Shortcut Formula

In order to keep the arithmetic a bit easier to calculate, the formula can be simplified to: 

Training Time (in minutes) = 10 x ( 2 ^ (current level) ) x (difficulty ^ 3)

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.
