[quote=“Random_dragon, post:120, topic:9357”]Hmm. I suppose one could get rust in your “what I had for breakfast” skill overnight, but yeah. I haven’t bothered with skill rust much at all. Partly because I forget which versions can drain skill experience but not LEVELS.

IntCap’s the one that only drains experience. I kind of like having it since I recall not using any type of skill rust quickly put skills at too high a level where a surviving becomes a bit too easy.
Ah right, might be interesting to do a game with that. Though sometimes part of the fun for me is eventually becoming a demigod. More often than not, it’s when my immediate area has run out of interesting places to explore, and when my supplies stabilize, that I start getting bored. @_@

The problem is really that skill rust shouldn’t drain your skill at all - it should be a penalty that goes away fairly quickly as you do things with that skill. That is, I don’t forgot how to do something, I’m just “rusty” - I don’t have to relearn it, I just do it once or twice and go “oh yeah, I remember this”.
Haven’t done it in a few years? Yeah, ok, maybe I actually forgot some stuff… maybe. Or maybe, I just need to perform the activity a few more times to get back at it. A master electrician doesn’t have to spend 5 years apprenticing again because he hasn’t done it in years, he spends a couple of days, maybe a week, brushing up.
Something along those lines, yeah. Relearning something never takes as long as learning it the first time (short of brain damage, where you are literally re-learning it…).
If you could relearn things at a vastly accelerated pace I would welcome skill rust as another dimension to the game but as it is in CDDA(and most of the skill rust including games I have played) it really bothersome.
relearning forgotten skills at increased speed would be a good way to smooth the roughness of skill rust. I agree 100% Despite all my big talk, I have yet to get a survivor far enough that Skill rust became a MAJOR problem. I hate 1 character get to the point of constant maintenance, though to be fair I was holding all but 2-3 skills at 1+ levels and I think one as high as 8 or more
