Improve benefits from “insight” plz. Double the reward gained from actions or decrease the number of perk points to level it up.
Otherwise currently there is no point (almost) in investing in “insight”, the benefits are so small and are so slow. Instead we are driving between towns, looting the same book stores again and again. It would be nice to invest in insight and don’t depend on book stores so much.
it should be viable play through, to invest in insight to progress. Thank you!

Must be really boring to loot the same buildings again and again...

Yeah there are 2 crack a book POI types, and every town has one of them. Ive lotted them so many times I can do it with my eyes closed. But it is very boring 🥱, that we need an alternative

It's not meant to be a replacement, and though a hefty cost, once you have lvl 2-3 you really do see the difference (which you should never see anything substantial with the lvl 1 perk to begin with).
And unlike the crack a book, this is a constant thing, and passive. By 3+ the perk replaces books entirely and you run around focused on a single task to level whatever skill it is you are trying for.
The progress is also meant to be slow in this overhaul so players aren't blowing through everything in just a simple 100 day time period like they do in vanilla.

I bought my 1st insight point and felt it a bit. Good to hear that higher on it's worth it, cause getting the perk points to get there is a pain in the butt

I do like the slow progression, and I put several points in insight to test it. The effect is barely noticeable. You’ll find way more books than ever taking g advantage of the insight as it stands now.

again, insight is passive. It is a "buy and forget about it" and I've gotten more than a good amount out of getting the perk early on just off lvl 1 insight on my newest playthrough
obsidian grove
Hmm, for me it barely does anything. May be the clubbing skill is the only one noticeable. It’s passive but it costs a lot of pints to invest, it should be more rewarding to use it and not to reply on books so much. Alternatives are good to have.

I do agree maybe a decrease in cost, but not increasing the bonus

Yes, sure, that’s would achieve the same result
alpine gazelle

the end result might look the same, but it is different. Increasing gain but keeping cost the same would leave you an entire level of not getting anything while that 1 point could have been put to use. The increase to the % would feel nice though. Decreasing the cost though makes it more readily accessible, level up once and you can get first level and start passively gaining earlier, which would lead to more gain in the early uses.

It's always funny if people say they like the slow progress and loot the same bookstore again and again to speed up the progress. 🙂
obsidian grove
You take path of least resistance , unless you have a great self restraint. And I’d like the game to improve it, and have an alternative. Or , a wild idea , removing crack a book POIs, so that it’s not even tempting

is it though? i mean "progress" is kind the goal of the game since you survive through progress.
and also part of balancing is that there shouldn't be something that gives to much of a benefit to ignore.
while for other things the cost outweight the benefits.
quartz charm
Of course the goal is to make progress. And of course it might be that things need to be balanced.
But constantly repeating boring activities to speed up progress while saying you like the slow progress is funny.
alpine gazelle
the state of skill progress currently is actually decently balanced. The only thing any of these suggestions do is offset the balance making it to fast in progression or grudgingly slower.
sand whale
well that would open up the question, if the perception of "slow progress" includes farming crack a book or not.
quartz charm
Farming it once is ok as there are not that many book stores out there compared to the other POIs. Otherwise Red would have removed them.
Farming it again and again is not intended.
alpine gazelle
there is only about 1 CaB store in each town (excluding the little outlets attached in little strips) and if you haven't messed with the restock settings, that is once every 2 weeks? Which is literal HOURS of gameplay before you can farm it again. Calling it "farming" is a little dishonest

There are many. Every town has at least one
quartz charm
And how many other POIs?

My loot doesn’t respawn. But I find myself driving between towns and if I see one I make it priority to loot. 🤷♂️
alpine gazelle
then the point makes even less sense
sand whale
and what part of the progress is perceived as slow. i for my part have no problems with progress in some skills but other skills are severely lacking. for example my medical, and vehicle-skills are quite advanced.. my club-crafting-skill and shotgun-craftingskill are the lowest even though those are my main-weapons and i have 2 points in inisght.
obsidian grove
So I checked my default map. I found about 15 towns (5 forest 5 desert 5 snow). Each had 1-2 cracks books. So I looted about 20 of them. But here are only 2 types of these poi’s so that’s a lot repetitive . I get it I could just start ignoring them , but it’s too tempting - since the rewards are so much better then any other path in the game
sand whale
my healings-kill is 8, my med-crafting is 51.. on the other end my clubcrafting is 16 but my clubbing is 50.. and i only ever produced work-stationmagazines myself.
thats quite the dissonance if you ask me. especially if i only looted one t2 and one t3 med-poi's compared to 3 T4 and one t5 military-poi's.

Other question: Why are you town hopping? I guess you are looking for books, right?
Of course it gets boring if you check all towns for the same 2 buildings.

Well I cleaned up my own town first, and I have a motorcycle. So what else would you do? I drive around to see what’s in other towns. Currently clearing out level 4-5 pois and the crack a books if I see any. I’m in day 67
quartz charm
If I was bored, I would look for unknown POIs and clear those.
sand whale
that is only viable as long as there are unknown poi's no?
