Yea our issues with the colors is, what "makes" them elite. So we had to look into their stats for that. We will do a lot more digging and collecting data as I am a sucker for pretty data tables :D

155 hours after watching this video - my additions would be: 1. Origin doesn't matter very much, and neither do any of the "I'm -50% bad at learning (crafting skill)" - you're going to put them to work so much for so long, and (ideally) you'll have so many of them that the speed they learn won't matter. 2. When looking at skill caps for Camp Workers, look for Tribesmen who have the most values over 90, rather than looking for ones that have a single value at 120. The difference between having a cap of 90-99 and 120 in rarity is a LOT, but the difference in utility is...5-10% - in that one value they have at 120. EXAMPLE: One of these are objectively better in practice than on paper Mining: 91 Kiln: 97 Weaponsmithing: 91 Armorsmithing: 96 - VS - Mining: 87 Kiln: 89 Weaponsmithing: 120 Armorsmithing: 84

@@TiiaPlaysStuff Even if you use the "YOU HAD ONE JOB!" 😀method, the time you spend Deterring and Discarding your way through camps to find those 120s in that one job you need is ultimately going to get you, what...5% increase or 6% or something like that (I don't have it open to check at the moment) for that last bonus box? I'll take 95% of the output for 5% of the time - especially if I can stick that person on one "production chain" and cluster all their stuff in one spot. Last night I set up a new farmer in my central spot (after laying down something like 100 Floor two stories up off the Plains to hold the Farm Plots and Capy/Turkey pens, etc. The farmer manages the Granary, has two Grinders, A Loom, a Butcher Table and a Kitchen right next to the Granary. She manages the fields, and when they don't need tending (often), she gathers "resource" from the outhouse, Puts it in the Fertilizer Bucket. Grinds 6 types of items each on the two Grinders, some of which wind up in the Fertilizer bucket, too. Turns the output of the Cotton field into Yarn and the downstream products (including Aloe products for band-aids) on the Loom If I've brought back Animal Parts, she grabs those from my "Dump Box", and those are butchered (and the bones ground up for the Fertilizer bucket) I've tried the 1:1 method, and where I am at the moment (I am not the fastest player, I get sidetracked into Awesome Base Building basically every day. 🤣) using 1:1 would just result in a lot of messages about "I like to work, but we don't have any XYZ, so I'm going to whine about taking a break" - nevermind the extra mouths to feed when they're mostly sitting around or dancing (and getting in other people's way! Curse you, Pathfiniding AI!!!!) But I can go to basically any camp and find 2 people with multiple 90+ option Proficiencies flexibility to them and have them on the job (whichever are their strong suits) in 15 minutes. I don't have to (as someone on the Soulmask Discord was grumbling about) go through 40 Barbarians to find 3 I want to keep... Generally, I'll keep 3 out of 5. They're not THE BEST at one thing, but they're REALLY GOOD at 5-7 things...

You and me both. I did some deep diving into the mechanics for a few days. I plan on going more theory crafting on it in the future.

Concise, smooth and on point. Keep it up. Subbed.

Don't forget you can also deter all of the invaders that attempt to invade other NPC tribe's (Flint, Claw, Fang) barracks -- the 'invaders' are a mix of claw, flint, and fang but they go by another name I think Exiled Rebels or Exiled Plunderers or something like that.

thnx for the vid finally a simple and compact vid about the npc's skills especially workers , lots of vids about fighters and skills not so much about workers but i always thought porters was more for armor bc my novice porter has higher armor then my master craftsman but maybe i was just unlucky with my craftsman

So far, your channel and Wak's channel are the best Soulmask guide contents.

much love

Wow, you have a whole clan Dominatrix! I thought I was good with a handful. It also never occurred to me that you want to take over an NPC to be your primary character. I didn't realize the limitations on skill/mastery caps. I'm kinda partial to my starting character...

how do you zoom in when looking at them for the extra details? is there an extra key for this?

@TiiaPlaysStuff

You long press Q. It has to be unlocked on your mask tho.

Do we know what exactly what causes traits to turn from negative to positive or simply acquire a new one? I got a new trait when I leveled up a tribesmen, but it was hard to tell looking back if his mood and recognition was high or low if the level from the character triggered it or leveling the proficiency. There's so many factors on this simple mechanic. If it's character level finding a level 1 tribesman will be best because there are more chances then a level 50 tribesmen.

SO basically For a level 20 guy you want 2 good perks and not much than 3 bad perks. This way when hitting lvl 50 you will have 5 green perks and no downsides.

I allways get like 6 to take 1 in the begining so i can choose without having the mask nodes unlocked 😅

Is there a way to change your tribesmen appearance when you control them ? It's a shame there is a character creation screen if you're not able to play it through the whole game.

When you possess them, press O, click on masteries and then click on the one you wanna use instead and press Space to lock in your choice. If it doesnt have a good one, you mioght have to level them further to unlock more choices.

A Craftsman with high proficiency cap (120+) in armor crafting. In the best case also no negatives that make him learn slower. Perception will give you more chance for extra output while Agility will make him craft faster. I usually try to go for output.
