Homemade Modded Perk working incorrectly.

[DiggityDan]

Good Afternoon,

I used Google Gemini to design a perk under the General Perks Tab. It "works", but not as intended. The perk is designed to reduce the player's crafting time. It does reduce the crafting, but you don't even need to assign a skill point to this "Reduced Crafting Time" perk, you automatically have it. does anyone know a fix? Code and screenshots below for reference.

you can see below i dont have a skill point into the new perk. I don't have any other mods. This is mod is being uploaded to a server for testing. Also, how can i change where it says "Crafting Time 0%"?

This mod adds a new perk called "Reduced Crafting Time" to the game.
This perk is designed to instantly reduce crafting time by 100% (making it instant)

It is now correctly placed under the "attGeneralPerks" attribute,
which corresponds to the "General Perks" tab in the game's UI,
as found in your provided progression.xml.

If you move the level requirement from the group to inside the passive_effect it should work. If you use a ui_game_symbol_xxxx icon you'll get an icon. Here I've used the workbench. The 0% is apparently because the field is only 2 characters wide. At 50 percent it shows ok.

    <effect_group>
        <passive_effect name="CraftingTime"  level="1" operation="perc_add" value="-.5"/>
        <display_text_key name="dCraftingSpeedBonus" value="100"/>
    </effect_group>
</perk>
</append>

Perfect, thank you so much. Also, where can I find a list of the ui game symbols?

You're welcome. I think there was a list of the UI icons in the guides section before the forum rework, but not sure. Maybe search a bit. I have an old graphic from A19 that I've used. I don't recall where I got it. I think many of the icons are still the same. There's also a mod for A20 that shows the icons. I never used it, and don't know if it still works. https://7daystodiemods.com/ui-game-symbols/
