How do you think, which 3 characters will get skill tree next and who need it the most?


Recommended Posts

What I find interesting is that Wormwood seems to be already bound to the moon, and cannot switch to a shadow affinity in the skill tree. Since that seems to be allowed, then its obvious that Maxwell will conversely be purely shadow aligned, with no choice to be lunar aligned. The queen already has his loyalty after all. But, I wonder if other characters will get that treatment as well, or if those two are an exception to the alignment system due to their backstories tying directly to the opposing powers?

I really hope so, I think it could serve as a way to make some characters more interesting by pushing their playstyle in a certain direction and/or make their character's in-universe priorities and loyalites more clear. I feel like Wormwood ended up with a more interesting tree than Woodie and Wolfgang precisely because he was designed around having two Lunar trees.

WX have more to offer than speed, it is just that people value speed way too much to consider the rest

 If you are playing optimally (what I'm going off of) then you are using either triple speed or one speed, one temperature affecting circuit and a level 1 (most often health) circuit in the winter or summer (if you don't cave base). Sanity is not that helpful because it's so easy to manage it in other ways, health is an option but speed is kind of like it in the way that the faster you move the less you get hit, hunger is so easy to manage that hunger isn't worth considering, beanbooster is too slow to be helpful, electrification circuit is not worth it, optoelectronic used to be worth it but now you need to go too out of your way to get it in my opinion, and the illumination circuit is too big of an oppurtunity cost, you're giving up 2 speed circuits just to not need to hold a lantern or a miner hat. Speed is just the main circuit, you will always be using it and always be searching for it, it's quite easy and unintrusive to get to. You just need to catch a rabbit with a trap which you would be doing anyway for a prestihatitator and rooks are easy to scan down in the ruins, which you will be going to in the autumn. While it does cost a bunch of bio data, it's not too big of a deal since things you're scanning for bio data aren't too out of the way.

I wish a skill tree for WX. They are almost perfect but miss some experimental playability. How the circuits work they punish for any changes or trying some temporary combinations - sadly most effective gameplay is to choose favourite set and stay with it, or farm a lot of biodata and a bit of other resources for max 4 changes per circuit. Gimme some freedom. Gimme some more fun. Let me go crazy. Not necessarly OP... Just more freestyle robot dance! Also extra circuit slot just to try funnier combinations, like some options are just impossible. 

The other person I need some love is Winona. Beautiful, strong and hardworking Winona (if she so much praise hard work why she dislike handmade stuff?). Compared to everybody else her pockets and skills are almost empty. She brings nice things to the table, but at same time... Not so much. Actually very little. Sad for someone who maybe would like to build a bit in factory style... So many ideas were said in the past, hardly I remember anything (fixing burned structures? Being able to move catapultas with her? Less crafting penalty?)

Third character? Dunno. Maybe instead modded character support for skill trees.

Characters who need it the most would have to be Willow (more pyromaniac related perks), Warly (maybe re-introduction of extra stats from food?) and Winona (more machines is what I want, but perks exclusive to herself would be nice).
