If you want to support the additional skill mods add these lines to the JOAT_MainCreationMethods.lua before the end:

jackofalltrades:addXPBoost(Perks.Efficiency, 1);
jackofalltrades:addXPBoost(Perks.Scavenging, 1);
jackofalltrades:addXPBoost(Perks.Driving, 1);

Then scroll down to
media\lua\shared
And JOAT_MainCreationMethods.lua

Right at the top of the file at local function JOAT_Trait you can find the entry for 20.

@Rainmaker seriously, it wouldn't kill you to type down 2 numbers. It's kinda ridiculous that you decided to press 104 keys on your keyboard to convey "U STUPID 4 NO NOTEPAD", specifically in order to avoid typing a 2 letter helpful answer. :thepro:

You had a choice. be patient and informative, or berate a honest subscriber's question. You chose to do the latter. Isn't really a good look. it takes far more effort and costs a fair bit of public respect to chastise genuine people asking honest questions, than it does to actually help by answering.

I too wanted to know, and looked. I did not expect the developer of the mod to be disrespecting people like me interested in such a basic detail of the mod.

@GarglingGlass From what I can tell, it is a 20 point cost. I can't seem to get it running, though it seems I'm on the wrong version. still I perused the files, and it seems a value of 20 is applied to this mod. I presume -20.

@GarglingGlass
Okay.
You either learn how to read very simple .txt and .lua files
Or you don't.

Choose.

What is the actual cost tho, without having to do it myself? It'd be helpful to know if I'd rather not bother. Kind of a weird thing to keep a secret in the description...

Yes, that's fine. Would that be something you'd be willing to do if I don't use it for anything but personal use?

@ExtravagantBum
I will not re-package and re-upload someone else's work. :)
Call it a professional courtesy of us modders who do all of this A) on our spare time, and B) for free.
If you want to port a mod from B41 to B42 just for your own personal use, that's a different topic.

Hey Rainmaker, was looking at your Ko-fi and saw 'asking is free' so here we are. I don't know if it's in line with what you do, but I would really love to have the Scavenging mod brought to B42, and it looks like it's been abandoned. Is that something you could do?

Thanks. this is great for trying to test out the new stuff.

Also, there are trait mods out there that have traits that add points after character creation. So they do not count towards getting the +75% gain. In case you are interested in looking to see how it was done and make that an option.

or for those interested in the master of none part, look into mods that cap how high you can get a skill based on how many points you start with. I did a server iteration once where you capped at 5 if you had no skill, 7 if you had a starting skill of 1. And 9 and 10 cap if you have 2 or 3. If you did this you would cap at 7 so never master any of them. But could take additional traits for skills you want to level to 10.

To the creator, I like it how it is though.

fair enough, thanks :)
★Rainmaker★  [author] 26 Dec, 2024 @ 6:42pm 
But you could always edit the cost of the Trait for yourself and then also pick Slow Learner or something :D
★Rainmaker★  [author] 26 Dec, 2024 @ 6:41pm 
I can't do anything about the XP gain rate. If you have +1 Skill level, you get +75% XP gain. That's how it goes. :)
Blake_Mchalian 26 Dec, 2024 @ 4:25pm 
I kinda want a cheaper version with a -25% XP gain cause of the phrase being, "Jack of all trades, master of none" but thats just me
