0.F is coming along. My main contribution, proficiencies, are arbitrarily at a point now where they could pretty much just be done as is, although I'm still trying to button up a bunch of the nice secondary stuff. There aren't too many big features left after that, we're moving into content freeze and dedicated bugfixing pretty soon.

I would not call them done until you can actually select missing proficiencies in character generation, especially with how ridiculous the time and fail multipliers can get when a large number of basic proficiencies stack up.

[Iceblaster]

ya know that is weird, can you actually select profeciencies during chargen? Haven't played much of a version WITH them to say.

Nope. Professions can come with proficencies, but there's a lot of "you need to research breathing" cases where only specialist survival professions and craftsmen know things like leatherworking, making cordage, etc. There's no way to buy additional proficiencies your profession lacks.

Actually shit, a saner way to do it would be like how you can autolearmn book-only recipes. A proficieny should be set so that starting the game with certain skills will auto-unlock proficiencies, because having to waste character points on "not failing five million times on something this character should probably already know how to do" would actually be kinda dumb.

So along with expanded proficiencies, additional failures, and reworking the crafting system, I'm assuming you've addressed adjusting crafting time on in-progress crafts as proficiencies increase, correct?

Because if you're gonna make stuff take forever to craft without skills, it becomes rather important that the game can track skill increases and adjust the item's crafting time as you get more skilled.

[Erk]

Afaik the initial presentation of proficiencies checks and updates craft time if you gain proficiency mid craft, but I haven't checked it myself. When I say I'm done, I mean I'm done the stuff I am capable of doing, which is adding proficiencies to recipes. Although I've actually taken some time to learn enough to add them to a few hard coded activities as well.

So adding proficiencies you can buy in chargen, and handing out the growing list of proficiencies for absurdly specific things to professions that should know them is beyond you?

[King Zultan]

The proficiencies seem to over complicate things, and looking at discussions on GitHub they seem to want to make the blacksmithing one something you can't learn in game and that doesn't make since to me.

[IonMatrix]

Yeah, I agree with you.

And I thought skills were hard to grind before.

[EuchreJack]

And here I was thinking that anyone could learn anything.  Shouldn't proficiency be something you can learn from a book or another survivor, sorta like some of the martial arts schools?

Says the guy that can't code anything and is always trying to get shit implemented for him. Someone is salty... X)

Let us be one with the chill.

Random_Dragon is the Arcana dev iirc...

It doesn't really change that Erk's code diving skills seem a bit sparse for a dev. I mean, I haven't asked about anything in ages because I don't expect them to have the answer for anything that isn't just surface code.
