[b42]Efficiency Skill Mod

Description
B42 COMPATIBLE
Still compatible with B41
Enhance your survival experience with Efficiency! Now with sandbox options! This mod introduces a powerful new skill: Efficiency. It's designed to make your character faster and more effective at completing timed actions, adding more depth and realism to your grinding gameplay.



With this mod, your character can improve their work speed based on their Efficiency levels. Characters with higher Efficiency levels can drastically reduce the time it takes to perform essential tasks. You should also try the new trait "Efficient" (which boosts your speed) and (theoretically) avoid the trait "Inefficient" (which slows you down).


Efficient
-6 For some reason, you're faster than the rest. (+3 Efficiency)


Inefficient
+6 You're slow and lazy. (Starts two levels below normal)

Additionally, a new profession, Youth Worker, has been added. This profession gives your character a unique boost to Efficiency and various crafting skills, making them a master of multitasking!


Youth Worker
You've worked your whole life and are especially fast at completing tasks. (+3 Efficiency, +1 Carpentry, +1 Electronics, +1 Mechanics, +1 Tailoring)

Whether you want to speed up mundane tasks or push your character to become the ultimate survivor, this mod lets you build a more efficient, faster, and stronger survivor!


The following table resumes how the multiplier works.

Efficiency
Time Modifier
0
1.8
1
1.4

0.8
5
0.7
6
0.6

0.5

10
0.2

Warning: It's hard to level it up.

Time = Default Time * Time Modifier
Example: Time = 10 sec * 1.8 | So Time = 18 sec
(In seconds for easy understanding, it's just an example)


Zero Efficiency





Level 2 Efficiency (Default Time)





Maxed out Efficiency






Skill Books system
This works the same as vanilla, so you will get used to it quickly

XP Gain system
You gain XP by completing Timed Actions. For now, the amount of XP gained is the same regardless of the total time taken. I designed it this way because, in many cases, the maximum time required doesn’t reflect the complexity of the task but rather the character’s condition. For example, if your character is burnt, it will take much longer to complete an action. It wouldn’t make sense to reward more XP just because the character is in poor condition.


IT'S COMPLETELY SAFE TO ADD THIS MOD TO YOUR EXISTING SAVE

Gday mate - mod throws an error when right clicking in vehicle maintenance - specifically trying to replace a lid on a small trailer, right click doesnt bring up the normal context menu, an error is thrown and it highlights EFFICIENCY as the culprit. Just sharing in case it helps anybody

Howdy! It seems there is some kind of incompatibility with 42.12. I'm sure youre already well aware, but I just wanted to let you know, thank you for all of your hard work!

After doing some research, I found a work around for some mods such as lifestyle having their actions cut short (like playing/learning new songs). You can check out the following mod until there's native support here:

There needs to be a way you can disable certain actions. lifestyle mod; playing/practicing at max efficiency makes it so you can't play the whole song and learn any songs. Auto mechanics-fast progress timer introduces higher probability of not fully completing "train mechanics."

Can you exclude certain vanilla actions like drying and resting?

Can someone help? The efficiency keeps popping up and leveling up even though its max level
keyzeyy 10 Aug @ 5:03am 
does the global xp multiplier affect this mod? if I set it to 2x (for example) will this mod's skill be gaining xp at 2x? or do I have to use its own xp multiplier in the sandbox settings?

Can you make update to remove TimedActions from Le Gourmet Revolution from Snake Mod Pack , because it has a conflict

@GersonRess, alright happy to hear, but if you ever get around to it, I'm happy to take it down if there's an official fix for it in the future.
GersonRess  [author] 28 Jul @ 2:35pm 
@Csupi No problem at all, bro. To be honest, I’ve been pretty busy with work lately, and I don’t really play on PC or do much programming like I used to. So your fix is a huge help for me and for the community.
