Turn Off Skill Degradation

[Petrenko]

Heyho,

i got a simple question:

How do i turn off skill degradation?

Thanks in advance for any help!

[want_some]

umm, never thought about this. i can take a look at the code to see what i can find and for a possible fix, maybe.

Thanks for the help!

So far i looked into the core.mod files but couldn't find anything.

Still i hope there is an "easy" solution for my problem.

[want_some]

this is something to do with the dll file for the game. i have looked a bit but havent found anythin that deals directy for the skill degradation. i will keep looking tho.

[Petrenko]

Yep .dll sound about right.

This MIGHT be it, only had a few minutes to look for it.

Yep thats it, hard coded you would have to get deep into overriding code to sort this out. Might not even be possible without all new pawn type tbh.

A different way may be to create your own tick event and then check your skill levels and increment them for the same amount that decrements them. Just a thought, not even sure if it would work don't have the rest of the code with me at the moment.

[Petrenko]

Alright i guess i'll have to wait till it gets opened up a bit more. Maybe there will be items in a future update altering learning behaviour.

Thanks for so much effort so far =D

There are already neurotrainers.

Well what are you trying to do? You originally asked to turn off skill degradation. As Rikki pointed out we already have neurotrainers, so I'm sure what you want to do is possible.

[Petrenko]

I just like to level up my folks to 20 and not have to worry about that skill anymore. But seeing a lvl 20 research degrade to lvl 16 just makes me mad. It is a great future for most people and i respect that. But i don't like it and want to get rid of it.

[AAR_Dev]

I will look into it but like I said I'm sure you can make a new tick event and just increase the skill for whatever it was decreased for that tick. Dirty but effective.

Delivering, in case there's still interest. And thanks for showing where to look
