Hey Survivors,
this update adds a new skill system to the game which has 5 different categories at the moment (aim, strength, crafting, cooking, breath). Each skill category has different impacts on the game mechanics and can be skilled through different tasks.
At first, some tasks may take a bit longer than before the update or tools will break faster, but as soon as you acquire some levels on your skills, you will become faster, better and your crafted tools will hold even longer.
