OverhaulNotes

[B]Call to Testers![/b]

I have a new version of Valmod Overhaul (b104 build) that completely overhauls (heh, pun) the progression system in many ways. I'm mainly testing this out and would love to get some feedback on the new approach. So far I do enjoy what I've done with it but it does need more eyes on it to spot possible faults or issues.

What has changed, you may ask? Well, a huge reduction in the amount of perks, for one. Almost every recipe is now connected to a /skill/, not a perk. What does that mean? Well, now, to unlock the Pistol, for example, you have to level up Pistols to level 20. This goes for many other recipes aswell. You could now gradually unlock more medical recipes as your skill in medicine levels up, just for example.

What perks are still kept also now function with a new system. Perks now only give you the recipe when they have been maxed out (or at a certain level, if specified otherwise). So while a perk may still cost 10 skill points it will now have 10 levels instead of just 1 level for 10 points.

Many new books have been added to the game that you can find that will add various skills or perks. However now that perks have multiple levels you will not instantly max out and learn a recipe from a perk just from finding one book. For example finding a chainsaw schematic will not max out the perk and unlock the recipe instantly, but it will put points into to make it cheaper to purchase if you desire. Or you can wait till you find another to keep leveling the perk for free to get the recipe.


Here is a quick rundown of new skills/perks or other changes and what unlocks what.
