Helmet Mod Question

[We're Rich]

So for the helmet mods that give +1 stat if i were to equip one of those and spend points in a skill of that level then remove the mod would i still have access to that skill? for example i have 4 strength and i want level 3 miner 69er can i equip a cigar take level 3 miner 69er then remove the cigar and keep level 3 in 69er?

You will keep that skill, BUT it will become inactive. If you hover your mouse over it, it will pop-up a tool-tip that reads "Attribute is too low. This can be due to a status effect or no longer wearing an item with an attribute buff."

Let's say you put 2 points into Strength. Put the +1 strength cigar into your helmet, so your strength becomes 3. You raise the skill for Heavy Armour to 2 points. Then you remove the Cigar mod, and check your Heavy Armour skill again. You will notice the second tier has a red check mark. This means your Heavy Armour skill is effectively tier 1.

There is no way to play the system, the attributes need to hit the required minimum at all times for the skill to work. What I like to do is get 5 strenght and use the Cigar + Strenght mod to save 4 skill points in order to get the mining skills. Really unfortunate that every build basically has to force themselves into strength to make mining not a tedious chore.

Yes, very unfortunate which is why I use mods.

Now I can actually invest 0 points into Strength but still one shot ores due to the armor mod i'm using.

It's nice being able to specialize in a specific build and just use armors to do the niche things like salvaging and mining without needing to put points into those perks.

Its the same with How the INT trees party boosting skill works, if they are not on or in the party with you

Spill the sweet beans my man, what mod do you use for mining? Also, do you use anything to adjust the obnoxious zombie sounds? I can't play the game on normal volume because the zombie growls and hisses are so stupid loud.
