Just a little preface here. I run a 1x skillgain server, and according the the server files .8 is the vanilla setting. So we are just a hair faster than the game is intended to be.
Now the point. In order to reach 15 construction skill I had to build nearly 800 fences. Each skill gain was between .02 and .007, is this intended? To level post 15 Im bringing a forge and anvil to 99% complete and deconstructing it and all the resources and still only getting .3 gain for it.
Basically it just seems like skill gain in this skill is unbalanced at the moment, if you want to make it a massive resource sink then let us make widgets with a hammer or something for skill ups. Reaching 60 points on a 1x or.8x skill server is ridiculously difficult and causes a huge amount of useless clutter.
Edit: And just noticed I put this in the wrong forum, if a mode sees this would you be so kind as to place this in the Feedback sub-forum. Thanks.
