02How a level works
Do the work.
Get better at it.
01
XP comes from the work
Chop a tree and Woodcutting goes up. Take a part clean and Salvaging does. There is nothing to grind but the thing itself.
02
Every level, a little more
Each level makes the work faster, and gives a chance of one more of whatever you were after.
03
Up to level 30
Every skill runs to 30. Your survivor has a level of their own, and each one is a stat point for Max HP, Stamina, Carry limit or Work speed.
03In the game
Hover a skill. It tells you what it does.
The Skills tab of your pack shows every skill, its level and what the next one brings. Levels come quietly; a banner tells you when one lands.
