why does cooking affect mech "butchery" ||it clearly should be disassembly|| efficiency, if the relevant skill to do it is crafting?

Great catch — you’re right. In vanilla, mechanoid disassembly is a Crafting job, so the disassembly/“mech butchery” efficiency stat should scale with Crafting, not Cooking. I initially grouped it under Cooking because the StatDef name still says “butchery,” which was misleading on my side.

I’ll switch the default mapping to Crafting in the next update.
If you’d like to fix it right now, you can edit the mod’s rules this way:

• Open Defs/SkillImpact/SI_Rules_Default.xml
  
• Move the mechanoid disassembly efficiency stat from the Cooking block to the Crafting block (or create a Crafting rule for it)
  
• In-game, Mod Settings → Impactful Skills → Reload XML (Scopes + Rules)

Alternatively, if you’d rather not tweak XML, you can switch to the new version of Impactful Skills. It includes an in-game editor in the mod settings where you can choose which skills affect which stats.
