Action Mastery
Per-action mastery tracks with milestone bonuses at 25, 50, 75, and 99.
How Mastery Works
Every lifeskill action has its own mastery level, tracked from 1 to 99. Mastery XP accumulates each cycle while that action is your active work order. Higher-tier actions grant more mastery XP per cycle. Mastery is permanent — switching to a different action does not reset your progress.
Mastery Milestones
Reaching certain mastery levels unlocks permanent bonuses for that specific action:
Level 25 — Increased yield per cycle. Level 50 — Faster cycle time, producing resources more quickly. Level 75 — A chance to double your output on each cycle. Level 99 — A unique perk such as bonus scrap or rare discovery chances.
