Skill Trees

See also Skills for a detailed explanation of Skills and Abilities

There are currently four skills lines - Repair, Production, Administration, and Research.

Skills that are not available until another skill is trained to a specific level are shown indented under that level of the required skill.

Abilities are shown next to the level of the skill where they become available. Abilities do not have levels, and thus are not trained.

Tradeoff abilities are marked with (T). A tradeoff ability needs to be made active before its effects apply.

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 calculated according the following formula: 

Training Time = ( 2 ^ Level ) * 750 * ( Diff ^3 )

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

( 2^[Level 2] ) * 750 * ( [Diff 2]^3 ) = 24000 seconds = 400 minutes (6h40m)

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

( 2^[Level 4] ) * 750 * ( [Diff 3]^3 ) = 324000 seconds = 5400 minutes (90h)

Shortcut Formula

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

Training Time (in minutes) = 25 x ( 2 ^ (current level) ) x (difficulty ^ 3)

Note that the above times are retail times and changed since beta. It has been changed with a factor of 2.5 since beta.

Training Times

To simplify this for those who would rather not calculate it, here are the times it take to train a skill both shown as the time to train from one level to the other (the top number), and the cumulative time to train from the beginning, or level 0 (the bottom number, in italics). In the following, "m" means minutes, "h" means hours, and "d" means days.

The table lists up to difficulty 4 skills, which are the highest ones seen so far in the beta.
