Welding experience and related suggestions

[turniptruck1313]

Welding at the earlier levels, notably level 0 to 1, should be a little easier to gain experience. Without the recipe to weld metal floors, the only way to gain experience as it stands is dismantling wrecks, which depending on circumstances, can be few and far in between. All of this couple with the fact that there are no traits that grant +1 to welding, this skill feels like it's soft capped from the start. Here are some suggestions:

(1) Grant dismantling experience from level 0 to 1. Then, either soft cap the experience gained from dismantling from level 1 to 2 or grant no experience.

(2) Add a +1 Welding positive trait. Call it Amateur Welder, or something like that.

(3) If these are a no no, give players the ability to dismantle ANY car, not just the wrecks. Soft capping the experience later on may make sense.

As in a mod which allowed dismantling ANY car as long as overall condition is 15% or below.

That sounds like a good mod, but I'd like to see any of these changes in the base game as they (among other things) thematically and mechanically make sense.

Yeah, and my guess 15% limit was mostly for MP so players wont grief good cars instantly but forced to disassemble first. Rather than some gameplay reason.

there are now vhs tapes that can get you to lvl 3 welding

If there's no opportunity to gain experience points from crafting tasks, then I think we should be able to gain dismantling experience points from things like metal shelves and ovens, as before.
