Recommended Perks

**Recommended Perks** *By XenoSimilu*s

Here are some recommended perks with reasons why.

*When said crafting skills I mean: Carpentry, Smithing, or Tailoring. (Intellectual is one but I always cite this differently for reasons related to game mechanics).*

Green Thumb (+3 Botany, +25% Harvest Amount, -50% Chance Harvest Fails)

Explained: Having a 25% increase in all harvested amounts with a 50% less likely chance to fail tends to accumulate significantly larger bonuses for farming the later into a game you get. If you pair this perk with someone who has a 1 or 2 star passion in botany this will lead to you acquiring you so much food that it will often spoil even with 1 harvester.

Combinations: Since this perk is only related to botany, it makes sense to only pair it with parks that could help botanists. At the moment this is best paired with a perk like Fleet Footed for increased movement speed. This perk gains bonuses from perks that also assist with global work speed but aren't a necessity.

Notes: There is no lesser version to this perk and it is currently extremely strong, good for any playthrough.

Brawny (+3 Mining, +15% Movement Speed, +10% Global Work Speed, +5% Melee Weapon Damage Multiplier, +5% Unarmed Damage)

Explained: A significant movement speed bonus paired with a good global work speed bonus and some extra melee damage, this perk really is a combination of some of the other best perks in the game with all their bonuses thrown together. Moving quicker allows a character to tend to more tasks in a day, the global work speed bonus allowing them to finish tasks quicker, and some bonus melee weapon damage that you don't have to use if the villager is more suited to bows.

Combinations: This perk works well with anything. You move faster, work harder, hit stronger. Pair exceptionally well with any crafting or building skill, also good with any harvesting skill.
Also works well with many perks, especially another global work speed bonus like Industrious or another movement speed bonus. This perk could help with botany but is usually more utilized for crafting skills.

Notes: There are several perks related to this with lesser or the same bonuses. Industrious provides the same work speed bonus. Fleet Footed which is the best movement speed perk provides less movement speed than Brawny. Hefty provides 5% more melee damage multiplier than this perk.

Forty Winks (+5% Sleep Recovery Speed, -10% Sleep Depletion Speed)

Explained: Want your villagers to work more and sleep less? This is the perk you've been wanting. You do however need to remember to make sure villagers with this perk have suitable schedules as you do not want them given the same amount of sleep hours as a regular character.

Combinations: This perk works great on anyone regardless of if they are suited to a specific role as it allows them to potentially complete more tasks in a day. Could be best suited on roles which you require to get jobs done quicker such as hauling or crafting.

Notes: Has no downside like tiring quicker with Early Bird. Night Owl has reversed stats to this perk with 5% more sleep recovery speed but also has 5% less sleep depletion speed.

Erudite (+5 Intellectual, +15% XP gain)

Explained: This perk gives you more intellectual skill for researching alongside with 15% extra XP to all skills. This perk with the XP bonus can help turn a character with no bonuses into someone worthwhile quickly. If a character has a passion bonus somewhere, this perk lets them advance incredibly quickly with XP levels.

Combinations: This perk initially seems suited for someone that does research but that is not strictly what you want to use it for. Utilise this perk with someone that has a passion in a skill to gain levels quickly. One of the best skills for this would be any crafting skill as it affects item quality and speed of producing items. If you choose to use this perk on someone who researches they can progress well but without a passion or high initial intellectual levels it can be more efficiently used elsewhere.

Notes: The worse version of this perk is Wise, which provides 2 less intellectual bonus and 5% less XP gain.

Hefty (-5% Movement Speed, +10% Melee Weapon Damage Multiplier, +10% Unarmed Damage, +10% Mining Speed)

Explained: This perk slows down a character but could be invaluable for characters that are intended to do a lot of melee or mining. 10% mining speed is useful as mining is often slow even with decent levels. Even though mining is not always a daily activity especially late game the melee bonus could be very helpful for two handed weapon users to hit even harder.

Combinations: This perk works best when combined with another perk that helps a character recover from wounds quicker like Robust for 15% quicker HP recovery and 15% quicker wound regeneration (With a bonus to motor function so they don't stay down as long. You could also pair with the lesser version called Vigorous). Another good choice to pair this perk with is Brawny as this gives you another bonus 5% melee damage multiplier. Should not only be used for mining as Hefty also slows a character down, unless ideally paired with another speed perk like Fleet Footed.

Notes: Brawny gives 5% melee damage multiplier bonus but also has no downsides and is exceptionally strong so usually is preferred over Hefty.
