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 determined what the times will be for the official game, however, the expectation is that it will double at least.
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.
