Hi, it also happened to me with the server crashes, the ability restarts.

Hello Greez,

yes there are other actions which level down the experience. (Get a ruined act by cutting down trees - for example)

But.... i will make a resultlist for you for better overview. But this will need time......

For the fence kit ( i don´t will try much more time for it, things that the variable is wrong counting) - Every using this kit will level down the experience for one step. But if the experience is very high then it do not go step by step to the start position (ground-level), no it makes a big jump.

Best Regards,
Emil.

Hello Greez,

It seams that only the fence-kit "always" affect the soft skill level.....

First results:

• Splitting Ax and ax cutting down trees till ruined for only one time -> works fine
• Sledgehammer removing stones till ruined -> works fine
• tin opener open tins -> works fine
• Crafting Fence-Kit, torch, fireplace -> works fine
• repair clothes, repair backbacks -> sewing kit, tape -> works fine
• kill chicken and split it -> works fine
• cook met normaly till ruined -> works fine
• use watchtower-kit more as on time again -> works fine
• cut clothes -> /
• use shovel for searching worms, building complete beets till harvesting -> works fine
• use shovel for set tree trunks (fences, watchtower) till shovel is ruined -> works fine
• use weapon-cleaning-kit -> works fine
• set and reset wire mesh barricade more as one time -> works fine
• cutting bushes with knife till ruined -> works fine

Regards,
Emil.

Add notice:

Watchtower bug will destroy the soft skill level!

Step by step:

1. Watchtower Kit is deployed
2. After that deploy a fences-kit next to it
3. Put down trees to the watchtower and to the fences and build it up with an shovel
4. Add planks and nails to the watchtower
5. Search for the building option "build roof"
6. Start the procedure by holding left mouse-button
7. Animation started, white cycle is filling but at the end no roof was builded
8. BUG: The soft skill level goes down to the start level

The problem was to set the watchtower and the fences in same time without build up first the watchtowers roof.
After removing all parts and start building again without building a fence next to the watchtower there are no problems to building the roof.

Add notice:

There exist also a bug by the fence building. It has got the same error image, it destroy also the soft skill level - but not in the first time, it´s random!

• test it with ax 4 rounds: -> Soft skill level hasn´t delete
• test it with the small hammer 2 times: -> Soft skill level hasn´t delete
• chance the frame building option lower to higher frame: -> Soft skill level hasn´t delete
• set back to lower frame and test it with the small hammer again: -> Soft skill level has delete

In this video nothing was happens:

Step by step:

1. A fence-Kit line is deployed
2. Put down trees to each fences and build it up with an shovel
3. Add planks and nails to the fence
4. Build lower frame
5. Start the procedure by holding left mouse-button
6. Animation started, white cycle is filling but at the end no lower frame was builded
7. But this BUG do also reset the soft skill level after some inconclusive building-rounds

Look for example:

Additional Notes:

Also the same by the Watchtower. If construction-option not available (like the-fence-no-building-frame-bug or the watchtower-no-roof-build-bug) the result is, that mostly(randomize) the progress of the soft skill level will be destroy.

Look to the video:

Additional Information:

After removing the yellow barrel and the white paper in constructions-build-area i could try it again and build the stairs.

It means, that the constructions will be complete if no impediment (buildings, loot, objects (bush, chicken, zombie) are exacly in the area.

-->

Additional informations:

I do not change the situation of the example (building, tools) and test it extremly:

• go for building with ax and small hammer more then 20 times: -> Soft skill level hasn´t delete --> "The soft skill level increases although nothing was built!!!"

• change the building options of framebuilding (upper/lower) more then 20 times: -> Soft skill level hasn´t delete
• grow up an field to change the soft skill level: -> Soft skill level hasn´t delete
• put nails and planks out of the fence and move it back and go for building: -> Soft skill level hasn´t delete
• cut a tree to change the soft skill level : -> Soft skill level hasn´t delete

Additional informations:

I has stoped basebuilding and play without build watchtower or fences to look for other things which kill the soft skill level.
The soft skill level increased with every crafting situation more and more. I had arrived a very high level.

But times later the soft skill level was broken down to the start position again without i did serios things.
It seems the fences and watchtower are not the only things which destroy the soft skill level.

Additional infosmations:

The experience level will also will lost if you do normaly things. In my way i had only cut trees.
