Talk:Skill Trees

From Seed

It looks like the formula has changed to:

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

http://www.seedthegame.com/forums/showthread.php?p=15973#post15973 is the reference!

It looks like training Electrician 5 opens up Advanced Electrician. I would have put it in, but I thought I might break the layout...

Actreal: I'm not in the beta, but the description for Quick'n'Dirty II looks wrong - why would an advanced skill give less bonus to Cooldown for the same tradeoff on Repair Quality?

Reformatting trade off skills

I know we thought about this once, but I think we should look at it again. The repair tree is "too long" because of the trade off abilities. It makes it harder to understand the tree as a whole. How about this:

• Basic Repair [Diff:1] - Repairing Advanced Machinery
  • Level 1
  • Level 2
    • Jury Rigging [Diff:2] - Gives various tradeoffs on cooldown
      • Level 1 - Quick 'n' Dirty (T) - Just get it done fast (Cooldown: -50%, Repair Quality: -10%)
      • Level 2 - Haste 'n' Waste (T) - So what if I use a bit extra materials (Cooldown: -10%, Item Charge: +20%)
      • Level 3 - Cut Corners (T) - Noone will ever notice... (Cooldown -10%, Item Stress: +10%)
      • Level 4 - Routine (T) - Done one, you've done them all.. (Cooldown -10%, Inspiration Drop: -50%)
      • Level 4 - Just a test (T) - A hypothetical case where a skill has two abilities in a level (Cooldown -10%, Inspiration Drop: -50%)
      • Level 5 - Missed Opportunity (T) - Description missing (Cooldown -10%, Salvage -20%)
        • Emergency Repair [Diff:3] - Gives various tradeoffs on cooldown
