Make a skill cost 0 points?

[Jegethy]

Hi folks,

I'm wondering if it's possible to make a skill cost zero points? I am adding a perk tree which unlocks some custom crafting recipes, but I want it to cost 0 skill points.

I tried this and the icon shows the requirement as "NA" in game, but it cannot be learned.

<perk name="perkMasterCrafter" parent="skillCraftsmanship" base_skill_point_cost="0" name_key="perkMasterCrafterName" desc_key="perkMasterCrafterDesc" icon="ui_game_symbol_fire">

Could be there's something in the code that makes skills costing 0 only achievable with a book.

I want to say one of the xml files defines starting characteristics. If so, maybe you could edit that to automatically grant the skill. Or maybe look into awarding the skill after completing the starter quest line.

I've been tinkering with it for a while now and it doesn't seem like it's possible.

you need to edit this line

<perks min_level= " 0 " max_level=" 5 " base_skill_point_cost=" 1 " cost_multiplier_per_level=" 1 " max_level_ratio_to_parent= "5">

That changes all of the perks. I only want to change the custom one I added and it is not possible as far as I can tell.
