Skill Capsules

Skill capsules are permanent buffs that can be applied to colonists, and usually provide a small boost to a stat. As of Build 2020.7.30, clones start with one skill capsule when created in the Cloning Lab.

Before being installed into the Quantum Computer, Skill Capsules are a Portable Object. It is unknown what a specific skill capsule is before it is installed. Wearing a skill capsule on a colonist's back does not grant the colonist the skill it would provide.

Obtaining
skill capsules can be obtained from Shared Objectives, Challenge Rewards, some Stonehorns,or Sludge Nomads reaching Defense or Prestige milestones, and killing Raid Aliens.

One skill capsule also spawns on ESMA-01

CUDS
The Mend skill capsule can be ordered from CUDS at research level 2, and the Mining skill capsule at research level 3.

Notes:
According to the developer. all percent increases/decreases stack linearly, meaning it is possible to reach 100% energy use reduction.

Survivor and Grit are probably functionally identical. I hope.

A total build speed bonus of about 700% should allow a colonist to build a structure in one hit unverified
