Lifeskills are live
Two lifeskills are now available: Salvaging and Bioforaging. Talk to Syl in the village to get started. Pick an action — "Salvage Iron", "Forage Root" — and it runs continuously in the background, producing materials and XP even while you're fighting or offline.
Each skill levels from 1 to 99, unlocking higher-tier actions as you progress. Every action has its own mastery track (1–99) that improves yield, reduces cycle time, and eventually gives a chance to double your output. Mastery is per-action, so "Salvage Tin" and "Salvage Iron" level independently.
Focus is an active check-in bonus available every 30 minutes. Activate it and your next 4 cycles produce 1.5x yield with a chance to trigger a Discovery — bonus resources, higher-tier material bursts, or rare consumable artifacts like Salvager's Cache (+15% scrap from kills) or Bioforager's Serum (+20% healing).
Materials accumulate while you're offline, capped at 12 hours. Come back, tap Collect, and receive everything at once — resources, skill XP, mastery XP, and any discoveries that triggered during focused cycles.
