Training Skills

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

Training Time = (10 x Difficulty ^ 3) x (2 ^ (Current skill level))

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

(10min x 2 ^ 3) x 2 ^ 1 = 160min (2h40m)

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

(10min x 3 ^ 3) x 2 ^ 3 = 2160min (36h)
