(updated)An improved version of the Wilson’s skill tree

What about deconstruction of items that can't be crafted like bee queen helmet but only giving half the resources as a deconstruction staff.

I feel like if we put it into a skill tree, it would have to be more than from a deconstruction staff

That's a lot of rare resources, and removes all use of the deconstruct staff though.

This just gives early game option for effectively smashing it to get the resources.

I meant to say, I made the change
 

also, how much should I increase the number of rotten eggs in the sulfuric acid recipe

Maybe 3-4 rotten egg is enough.

But the number will depends on the uses for sulfuric acid.

The reason I was considering increasing the number is for the second experiment you suggested what is needed to make the real live counterpart is salt and concentrated sulfuric acid

When I see Wilson with a torch in almost every promo or shorts Klei, I feel unconfortable, because the torch isn’t a main or an exceptional tool for Wilson, even with his skill tree.

That's why I insist on enhance his skill tree so the torch can became a really useful and iconic tool using by Wilson.

Saying this, here some ideas to adapt the current tree without changing the actual arrangement:

TORCH TREE

• Torch Longevity I. Increases torch durability 100% (150 sec).
• Torch Longevity II. Can use Pine Cone (torch oil) to refuel a torch for 30 sec.
• Torch Longevity III. Can use a torch to refuel another torch, campfire or fire pit (75s) While equipped, increases speed by 20%.

• Torch Range I. Increases torch range of light to 5 units.
• Torch Range II. Can use Nitre (75s or 90s with TL1) to create an Endothermic torch (cool source level 1).
• Torch Range III. Torch light provides sanity 2/min and knowlegde: can be use as a Science Machine.

• Torch Toss. Unlocks the ability to throw Torches on the ground, where they continue to burn and emit light until picked up.

BEARD TREE

• Beard Insulation I. Can coat the Beard with Beefalo Wool, adding 20% insulation per coat (max 3). Coats will lose by shaving or die.
• Beard Insulation II. Craft a Luxury Comb (20 uses). Refresh your beard, reseting at 0 beard insulation (and slows spoilage 50%) for 6 min. Recipe: Walrus Tusk x1, Blue Gem x1, Flint x1. Combing  the beard will return all coats.
• Beard Insulation III. Can coat the Beard with Steel Wool, adding 5% defense per coat (max 3 coats). Coats will lose by shaving or die.

• Beard Growth I. Beard growths in 3/7/15 days.
• Beard Growth II. Beard has an static electricity. Beard Hair can be use to refuel (45 sec) Miner Hat, Lantern or Table Lamp. Can craft a Beard Tonic to Grows faster (2/5/10). Recipe: Flint x3 [flask], Seeds x5 (oil), Ice x1.
• Beard Growth III. Can craft a Beard Whip (17 dmg; 100 uses; range 2). Using by Wilson adds an electrical damage (25.5-42.5). Recipe: Beard Hair x9, Electrical Doodad x2, Moleworm x1.

• Beard Hair Storage. Unlocks the ability to store food items in Wilson's beard. The number of slots ranges from 1-3, depending on the beard stage.

Why not just use the pre-existing brush?

I don’t quite understand what connection lightbulbs have to rope
 

Papyrus’s paper specifically made with reads also if I were to convert wood into paper, I feel like boards are too expensive maybe logs or sticks

If you’re using two logs should get more than one charcoal 

I don’t understand the connection between cactus flesh and bees wax

How about this is made with marble  rather than gold

Maxwell describes desert stone as an impure orange gem so how about instead so it makes orange gems

How about purple gems turn into yellow gems Due to the desert stone idea I had

How about only two fragments

What if we get rid of the pace skin and just have the fur tuft turn into the bunny puff?

I would turn into a mosquito sack. I don’t really see the connection between the two.

How will we have the hound teeth turn into walrus task and have the bomb shorts turned into fossils and remove the deer antler and have the beefalo horn turn into multiple volt goat horn or have multiple volt goat horns turn into the  beefalo horn

It could be, but I like the idea of a luxury comb for a magnificient beard. Also, using a blue gem on It fits with the cold perk.

Light bulb looks like cotton for me, so Is related yo ropes. I also thougth on petals for rope or even for papyrus. 

Yes, maybe boards are too expensive for papyrus but its more real for me. And It Is easier for a new player rather than go yo the swamp.

About Charcoal, i was thinking in something related to the phases of alchemy, like calcination, so, trasmutating Charcoal or maybe ashes should be part of the recipes for Wilson.

Finally, some kind of cactus produce resine that can be use as a wax.

Marble bean Is actually Made of marble, here I'm justo trying yo use the transmutation to get new way to obtain refine ítems. Furthermore, gold Is a renewable resource.

About desert Stone and orange gem, I actually thougth to use DS to to obtain orange gem in addition to use purple gem.

6 fragments Is the actual recipe. Is just giving yo Wilson access to that recipe instead using a broken pseudo science station.

Actually, I thougth on more skins to transform, including tentacle spots, slurper pelt, steel wool and cat Tail. But pig skin Is More useful, so I believe is should be on that recipe.

Regarding silk, this Is Made from glands so that its relation to mosquito sack (also a gland).

For Bones, maybe this transformation should be in one way, not reversible for high level, like Fossil and horns, etc.
