Suggestion - Skills changes

[Nextej]

• Divided skill statistic into a theory and practice.
• Higher theory value than a practice of specific skill, adds boost to practice gain. (Example: Farming theory = 3, Farming practice = 1, player receives higher gain of practice until practice >= theory)
• Too large difference between theory and practice (where theory has higher value) decreases theory gain. (Example: Farming theory = 4, Farming practice = 1, player receives lower gain of theory until difference theory - practice <= 2) or linear decrease based on the difference between the theory and practice: ( 1 / ( Theory - Practice ) ) * default gain modifier
• Addition of findable book guides (potentially also buyable at Bazaar?), found around primarly Deekula A/Kolhola apartments, medium rarity. Limited amount of uses per book, usage skips time (3 h perhaps?) and increases tiredness.
  • Side suggestion: people seemed to be interested in books/guides explaining specific machines or process and/or giving blueprints and recipes, could be also implemented alongside.
• Low lever skills should make usage of high-level machines ineffective and potentially dangerous, with chances leading to bleeding (additional status effect indicated the bleeding is caused by an misused machines). Perhaps this could be particularly based on "theory" factor, so finding a book and a higher tier machine could lead to nice boost in particular skill.

I don't like the idea of dividing skills into theory and practice, as it doesn't seem very intuitive to me. It'd be better to simply have an experience modifier, if one wants it to be possible to increase skill gain.

Finding book guides sounds interesting, but I think that they should be like the books in Fallout, where they give you a flat increase of experience for their respective skill. They should be very rare or even unique.

I like the idea of manuals for certain processes, but I feel like it goes against having to find blueprints. I've suggested that blueprints should include what type of machine they use (#1328), which I believe will help remedy the learning curve.

I also like the idea of machines hurting you if used improperly. Perhaps add a "burn" injury as well? It could decrease your mental health based on how severe it is, simulating that it hurts.
