Level 2 skill doesn't give level 1 skill


Recommended Posts

I picked a duplicant with level 2 digging skill, but because it's specifically level 2, anything that is easier to dig at level 1 was not something that duplicant could dig out. I don't know if this is a bug, but it has to be an overlooked issue, because this just looks stupid. You could set the level 1 skill to be impossible to learn for such a duplicant and set level 2 to unlock level 1 as well, or have level 1 unlocked already as well. This is not talking about skills like piloting as that is a bit different, but it just seems odd to have level 1 skill unavailable for a duplicant who can already do level 2 in the same skill category.

The ability to start with a higher level skill is new to the soon to be early access DLC. It may seem counterintuitive but it opens up many branches of strategy you may not be thinking of in addition to the limitations you point out. Also there’s a sub forum for the DLC

Unlocking all the lower skills is a bit overpowered as you also don't need the morale for them. That's what makes dupes with unlocked T2 or T3 skills very attractive even when you can't use them right away. Being able to use them sooner to get through granite or abyssalite also has its uses

It seems like the issue here might be that having an innate tier 2 skill shouldn't allow learning a tier 3 skill until the tier 1 skill has been learned. Right now, tier 2 skills allow unlocking tier 3 before tier 1 is unlocked.

That almost surely is a bug. Was this reported?
