Talents (or traits, whatever you wanna call it) are seeded upon spawning.The game determines what talents your tribesmen has AND will have as they level up. Think of it this way : a tribesmen spawn with a "talent tree" and as they level up they unlock their talent tree, so while the talent tree they spawn with is randomised, the talents they unlock as they level up will always be from that talent tree. Note that it works the same way for negative traits, upon spawning the game already knows what traits it will lose and at what level. What it means is that a tribesmen tamed at lvl 1 then leveled up to 60 and that same exact tribesmen tamed at 60 will have the same exact talents. There is no advantage whatsoever to taming lower level tribesmen aside from being able to distribute their stat points if you don't have access to the Body Remodeling Pill which, as you said, allows you to restat your tribesmen. By far the most efficient way to farm tribesmen is to tame the highest level you can afford to, idealy lvl 50+ but 40 is fine, check if they have your desired talents/proficiency, kick them out if they don't and to keep going. Also, neither Rarity nor Novice/Skilled/Master has any correletion with proficiency levels. Proficiency is entirely random, if you're looking for a 120 + talent crafter, just tame every single crafter you come accross regardless of skill or rarity.

A detailed automation system (if possible) ^^ and tour of your base (why you have certain sections here and there)

Great content. I would love to see content about pvp

Automation analysis video would be great please! I Have 3 different bases trying to automate them fully and I end up base building most of the day haha

Great vid man!

MAKE A VIDEO ON PVP COMBAT. Talk about the use of different weapons and skill needed to win. And form a meta of what works best

what is the difference between output and efficiency? for non english speaker its the same, output more by using required resources more efficiently?

Don't matter how they level, they always have a set thing they gain and lose at certain points no matter what.

If its crafters save yourself the trouble and ignore the perks. Still look for 120 on important ones like weapon, armor, crafting, alchemy and cooking. But dont bother about skill specific traits. I went through 4 120 weaponsmiths and leveled them all to 50 just to find the specific trait. All of them did not get it. It took forever just to find those 4.

for some reason the monkeys hardly put anything in the nest, but if i put a food box near the trunk they put tons in there. also the monkeys need to be near trees i guess, at least my monkeys always wander far af away to where theres more trees for some reason.

Goto the beach and head west, theres an ez salt farm there

I've been told the minion qual/lvl determines if they can reach 120 or not. Not too sure how true that is though

Don't forget quinoa. The quinoa dishes give a boost to leveling. Also, salt is easy at your level. I'll control a tribesman (usually a crafter that needs weapons leveled) run down to the beach and kill every coconut crab the whole length of the beach. Set yourself up so when you kill everything in the salt pan (5 flint NPCs you can do 1 at a time) you are running North. By the time you get to the North most part of the beach run back to the South most part of the beach and back to the salt pan, the salt has re-spawned. There's also something gratifying hitting the crabs with a hammer. Finally, I would suggest your next video be a constructive criticism of the game. The Devs have been very receptive and made changes based on the community feedback. Now in EA is the time to say, 'hey devs, too grindy!'

A strange issue I'm having is that legendary characters I find NEVER have 120 caps

You don't need an armorsmith 120, Im starting cold steel age and my armorsmith is barely 105 despite the fact that im crafting iron armor for all my tribe (30). AS 120 is for very endgame and by the time you will be able to tame lvl 45/50 tribemen. WIch will save you the long and painfull xp grind hoping for the right perk. I did the same, stayed in rainforest during 100 hours farming for centuries for tribesmen. Try to get the claw weaponsmith with the quality perk and above 90, same with the flint for armorsmith quality. That will be plenty enough to begin with. And don't worry about levelling proficiency again, in steel age getting to 90 is craftin 200 iron arrows or 100 plates for armorsmith.

more detailed automation video and exploring new content with some commentary

Monkeys don't gather anything, a certain amount of bananas pineapple, nuts and fruits spawn in their inventory. The auto pick up I think is for when you put them into you shoulder and then you go like in barracks put them down. Have to test that I'll give you more infos. Put my monkey in the swamps hoping they will have some new stuff but no.

The flint armor-smith exclusive talent of 10% +quality, is a must have for steel armor set. From my experience, red quality is 2%, gold quality is 38%, purple is 60%. The bottleneck for steel armor crafting is killing elite creatures for parts. Solo player can roll around 20 pulls per hour. It’s so annoying (time consuming) that I turn off gear durability decay.

question. i’m level 40 now and i stop leveling up? get passed 40 im I doing something or missing something

There’s a salt pit on the west end of beach.

Do a automation video

Talents are not random they are set. Want to level them up fast? Tame lvl 50 tribe people.

For crafter npcs you're partially right, but never level up fighters - just tame lvl 45-50. When you all will leave tutorial area and reach state of the game where you need a really good npc u will understant that geting npc with perk like trick force (-30% stamina cost) is already better than 99% of npc u will ever tame with your 10 fancy perks that change nothing. Remember fact that npcs from different biomes got other perks and not every faction and REGION can have same perks. Snow people can have up to 15 chill resist, u need all cold resist u can get for endgame as there is below -50°C. People are leveling trash npcs and then they cry that elephant boss is unbeatable even if they were leveling 50 npcs last 2 weeks. You will sacrifice much more time to find godlike npcs anyway and life is too short to lvl up by hand every garbage u get only, because "there is a small chance that he will get perk that will give him 1% more dmg when he will do poop" :D Just mass recruit red fighters and dissmiss insta if there is no good perks. IF you wanna run with npc to help you fight you need perk -50/-60% dmg taken when following you, but this perk will be insta after taming or never at all as it is gold perk.
