Disassemble every spare flashlight and soldering iron you find. Sooner or later you’ll learn how to make a flashlight, at which point building and disassembling them repeatedly will begin raising your skill at a reasonable rate.[/quote]
Better yet, remove headlights from car wrecks you encounter for that extra wealth of flashlights.

first aid (without using tons of bandages and first aid kits. they require liquor to craft new ones)
No idea - I usually raid a milsurp or sporting goods store for a Big Book of First Aid. But you could always clear a liquor store and then use the stock to make bandages.[/quote]
Raid a lab. The amount of bandages in those dissector rooms is just… something else. You get to train first aid by stepping on a dissector which is always fun.

mechanics
Very easy - make crowbars from pipes and lockpicks from scrap metal. You can hit level 1 or 2 just from the proceeds of the lockers in your evac shelter.[/quote]
Ties in nicely with flashlight disassembly as it drops (and turns plastic bottles, glass bottles) into scrap metal. Deconstruction of display racks especially brings in the pipe-a-con.

computers
No method I know of.[/quote]
[quote=“woflsipder, post:3, topic:2535”]You can grind computer skill in sewage treatments after you get underground and find the console which gives your sewage samples.
You just have to spam the hack option , because the console never breaks and you can literally get your skill from 0 to 3 or 4 in less than 1 in-game minute.[/quote]
