Any way to speed up skill progression?

[Alf]

I've bought this mostly to play in single player. So far I'm really enjoying the game, but the skill progression is extremely slow. Is there any way to speed it up?

There are guides to "speed up" each skill progression, available on youtube, though still not going to go rocket fast if youre looking for that. One is to buld base wall blueprints and just spam to use the tool part on it and that gives some good engineering(unless they removed that possibility), making arrows has always been one of my fav for getting survival.

Isn't arrow linked to Archery skill ?

As far as I'm familiar there are no extremely fast ways to level up the skills, but only by playing the game, you can increase your skills. Sure doing different actions will result in an increase of different skills so you should check what skills you want to level up and decide what to do.

Thanks for the reply. Are you planning on giving custom start options similar to Project Zomboid, where players can tweak things like skill progression before they start playing the game?

I doubt it, its mostly intended as a multiplayer game. but possibly they could add to the god mod a way to increase skill from basic /medium/advanced

Imo kinda defeats the purpose of playing a survival game tho

For sure, I agree.

I think it depends on how much time you want to spend leveling up. Skill progression in games like The Long Dark, Oxygen Not Included, and Project Zomboid is faster than in SCUM. That's not to say that one is better than the other, it just comes down to individual preference.

I actually like the idea of starting out with virtually no skills and having to work my way up, but I don't want to spend several real life days grinding through it. I think Project Zomboid's solution was great because players could tweak modifiers in either direction to suit their preferences.

As far as I'm aware no, you will still need to gain skills by playing the game, using something more frequently will result in you gaining more of that skill.

I don't understand why a person would want to start a survival game and instantly become a god...it is all about the GRIND to become one! IMO

Survival is not about grinding, unless learning your ways is grinding, well it sort of may require grinding. Anyways its more about adapting to whatever is given and making compromises between things, calculating, sometimes being lucky, sometimes just dying constantly to every single thing faced. Its all currently more like easy mode for the survival part, while waiting for the difficulties that metabolism hopefully bring. And when ways are learned, it normally becomes easy mode anyways in any sort of game(and rl).
