Description:

Dub's Profession Mod for build 41+ returns with 30* new vanilla-like professions, each balanced out to the best of my ability. Note, this mod does NOT override, change or otherwise mess with the vanilla professions.

*Note the description USED to read "84", I have since reduced this number to focus on balancing the ones I added before I add a slew of new ones. I want to work up to what I released, but casually and address and imbalance that may arise!

Balancing Algorithm:

Available in the source code of the project, see below GitHub links for balancing sheet as of 1/16/2022.

Entrepreneur:

Lots of people ask about entrepreneur, so here's a breakdown! When you select the "entrepreneur" profession, three of the nine traits are selected and given a 2.5x multiplier to a max level of 2. Furthermore, entrepreneurs have the passive "natural learner" trait, which gives you a small boost to trait gaining (for all skills).

The traits: Cooking, Woodwork, Farming, Fishing, Trapping, Tailoring, Metalworking, Electricity and Mechanics (note these are trait names from the source, your localization will have different interpretations.)

Caveat: Since the multiplier won't go past level two, any trait that gives you a bonus greater than level 2 will not receive additional multipliers. For example, if you select angler, and the system randomly decides to award you a bonus in fishing, you will not get the bonus since your fishing skill is beyond level two.

Compatibly:

Mod now works with build 41+, both multiplayer and singleplayer tested. DPM does NOT require any other mods to work.
