B42 STABLE FIX[/h1][h2]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.

[table] [tr] [th]Efficiency[/th] [th]Time Modifier[/th] [/tr] [tr] [td]0[/td] [td]2.0[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]1[/td] [td]1.8[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]2[/td] [td]1.4[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]3[/td] [td]1.0[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]4[/td] [td]0.9[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]5[/td] [td]0.8[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]6[/td] [td]0.7[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]7[/td] [td]0.6[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]8[/td] [td]0.5[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]9[/td] [td]0.4[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]10[/td] [td]0.3[/td] [/tr] [/table]

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

MP COMPATIBLE FOR B41, B42 NOT TESTED

Key Features:

Adds the new Efficiency skill to the game. Reduces the time of timed actions based on efficiency. New traits: Efficient (speed boost) and Inefficient (slower actions). New profession: Youth Worker, with XP boosts to multiple skills. Dynamic gameplay that rewards efficiency and boosts your survival rate. Skill books system. Survive faster, smarter, and more efficiently with the Efficiency Skill Mod!
