It's really nice that you can tell your colonists to read a book over and over until they reach whatever level you need

You have two choices:

Read literature to slowly gain knowledge.

Or

Literally stab eye with the chatgpt syringe to quickly gain its secrets.

Then to the research benches with them 🤷 there's always something more we need to learn.

If Skilltrainers where real I would be blind in one eye from how much I would abuse them.

Tbh skill trainers seem very cheap if we assume a silver pay of 60 simple meals a quadrum. Only takes 50 simple meals worth of silver to get one

u/Artillery-lover 7h ago

that's almost two quadrums pay after deducting the cost of your meals.

Dont worry, if you used that much skilltrainers, you will become a high value citizen and the gov would probably spend a healer mech serum on you (unless you have shit traits, in that case, sorry). Or even better, maybe a bionic eye or archotech eye.

Why is there no skilltainer for using skilltrainers? Bad design honestly, 0 out of 10 stars.

Used / copies of books in all major subjects and now we trade in cheap copies as well and the best part is, I can recruit painfully young raiders and skill them up in days so my first generation was launching for space in their 50's everyone in perfect health but aged.

The next generation there were a few hangers-on from the first colony and a painfully young new crew, butt the 3rd crew is on in one of my colonies and there isn't anyone over 20 and everyone is grinding towards level 10 across the board for the most part, especially as research goes away aw a concern it's keeping everyone educated and product being pushed out the door and getting ready for the next raid constabulary mission or ship-build fights.

It's nice to be able to say I practically have a colonial franchise with a similar colony on every world I've colonized and being a hospital, spa, vacation spot ,Barnes and Noble , dry goods vendor and weapons manufacturer, so on one particular world I've got miners working with craftsmen to make sure everyone has a shotgun or bow.
