Skills it starts you with

A starting level does more than it shows: it locks in a faster learning rate for that skill for the whole run.

SkillStarting levelsLearning rate
Foraging+1×1.04× faster than untrained
Knapping+1×1.04× faster than untrained
Maintenance+1×1.04× faster than untrained
Carving+1×1.04× faster than untrained

Can you earn it in play?

  • Levels — yes. Foraging 1 · Knapping 1 · Maintenance 1 · Carving 1 — reach them by playing, like any skill.
  • Boost — no. Starting above 0 locks in 4× learning on them for the whole run. Skip the trait and they sit at the untrained rate, permanently.
  • Recipes — yes. Nothing here is exclusive; every one has another route.
