| − | + | Every character in RimWorld has a set of '''skills'''; these skills govern their effectiveness in the relevant tasks. A character may be unable to undertake certain work types due to [[backstories|backstory]] elements, and as such, the relevant skills will be disabled entirely, and show " - " under skills on the Bio tab. Experience points are gained by performing a relevant task or may be boosted by using a [[neurotrainer]]. | |

| − | + | All skills are acquired and improved by performing their associated work types or tasks. Doing so will earn the character ''experience points'' per skill, which in turn will ''level up'' the skills. The resulting ''skill level'' then improves the performance in all associated tasks and types of work.

Skills and work types (or "tasks") are two different, but related, concepts. In some cases, like "mine" (work type) and "mining" (skill), there is an almost perfect correspondence, but in many other cases there is not: the ''work types'' "tailor" and "smith", for example, are associated with the ''crafting skill''. Some tasks listed on the work tab do not even have an associated ''skill'' (eg. "haul", "clean" and "firefight"). | Skills and work types (or "tasks") are two different, but related, concepts.

| − | == | + | == Game mechanics related to skills and levels == |
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | + | Skill levelling in ''Rimworld'' is very similar to many role playing games: ''experience points'' are constantly earned, and the skill is ''levelled up'' when certain thresholds are reached. | |
| − | + | Importantly, the effect of a skill improves ''by level'', but it costs more and more XP to gain another level in a skill. This means that '''skill training is more effective the lower the skill level is.''' | |
| − | + | As an example, consider the influence of ''mining skill'' on ''mining speed'': 12% additional mining speed is granted (additively, and relative to a "base speed") by each skill level. However, each additional 12% costs more and more XP, which translates into more and more time spent mining. The same principle applies to many other skills, such as researching and the ''intellectual'' skill. | |
| − | + | === Skill point acquisition strategy === | |
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | == | ||
| − | |||
| − | The | + | The above implies that on average it is better to spread out the skill training over several colonists instead of having only one "expert". You probably still want masters in certain skills, but investment in skill mastery always comes at the opportunity cost of some productivity loss. |
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | + | For example, you need to acquire about 150,000 XP to make one colonist a "region-known master" (level 16); the same amount of XP would be enough to have ''three'' colonists at level 9 ("solid professional"). This avoids the risk of losing the only pawn that is capable of the task, and in most cases three level-9 workers are better than a single level-16 expert. | |

=== Decay === | === Decay === | ||
| − | |||
| − | XP | + | Furthermore, there is another mechanic in play called ''decay'': starting at skill level 10, XP points are continously drained away, at a faster and faster rate with higher skill levels. This means that all XP earned after 55,000 total XP is effectively worth ''zero'' (at the limit, that means in the very long term!), because it will disappear. It becomes more and more expensive to even keep a master at his or her current level, let alone have them improve further. |
| − | + | As an example, consider that roughly 3,500 XP is lost per day by a colonist at skill level 20. This usually means that the colonist would have to be applying that skill more or less ''continuously'' during her work hours in order to never lose level 20. In most cases, XP is gained by ''time spent'' on a skill, and not by effective work performed! Working faster does not make it easier or faster to gain XP, or compensate the decay loss. | |
| − | + | So the higher you go, the harder it becomes to even maintain the current skill level. This is why actual "legendary masters" are very rare, usually only achievable by colonists who are autistically spamming a single ability (such as ''research'' or crafting artworks). | |

| + | == Experience decay == | ||
| + | |||
| + | Starting at skill level 10, the experience for a skill will decay automatically until dropping back to level 9. The rate of decay depends on the skill level and increases with level. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Experience decay is an automatic mechanism and is independent of which and how many skills are used – not using or frequently using a skill (or other, unrelated skills) has no effect on the rate of decay, which only depends on the current skill level. | ||
| − | + | The [[Traits|Great Memory]] trait halves the decay rate for a pawn. | |
