Recycler Efficiency Skill

Good Evening,

It appears that the Recycler Efficiency Skill is not correctly applying the buff to recycling: The tooltip indicates that you receive a 2%/lvl increase, however I have found the following to be actual:

• while using a 40% recycler at Bandit, with max Recycler Efficiency skill it indicates that the recycler efficiency has been changed to 44%
• while using a 50% recycler at Oxums, with max Recycler Efficiency skill it indicates that the recycler efficiency has been changed to 55%

Thanks.

Are you basing this on the UI value that the recycler shows? I believe this is client side the last time I checked. Even if the value of the entity is changed, the client will still show it's default value.

Maybe this will help:

Please forgive my horrible freehand circles

Yeah that's what I mentioned in my response before. The efficiency number you have circled on the recycler UI is set by the client, not the server, so we can't change the value with a plugin.

Here is a way you can confirm it's working:
- Respec your skill or unload the plugin.
- Recycler an item like burlap trousers and note how much you get back from it. Burlap trousers should give you 10 cloth or something back with 50% efficiency.
- Set the skill to 0.2 per level instead of 0.1 in the config. This is equal to 10% per level.
- Reload the plugin
- Make sure you max out the skill, and that it says you are getting a 50% bonus.
- Access the recycler from your picture (the one with 50%), and recycle the same item and compare the amounts you received.

Ok, thank you will try...the chat message is misleading though, as it says 55% instead of 60%.

Sorry I had to re-orientate myself with this one lol. It's multaplicative.
For example, if you have a 10% bonus in the skill, it increases the recyclers base efficiency by 10% of that value.
For example:
Recycler with 50% efficiency, and you have 10% on your skill. This would increase the 50% efficiency by 10%, which would be a total of 55%.

The percentage is applied to the recyclers number. If you wanted to bring a recycler from 50% to 100% efficiency, you would need to add a 100% total buff value to the skill (0.2 per level).

Ok, that makes sense, thanks for looking into this for me.

Cheers!

Do you mind looking into another issue I am having with SkillTree unrelated to this recycler bonus, or would you prefer I open a new Support Request?

You can ask here, thats fine.

Thank you.  I am having an issue with receiving XP from picking up collectables such as Hemp, Stone and Sulfur and others, I get none, however it works with bones...

I don't see anything in the cofig that allows for a whitelist other than the base yield settings, which list everything as 1.0 (vanilla).  

Carbon or oxide?
Unload all other plugins and see if the issue resolves.
Also if you have Carbon and are using gather manager, disable it and test.

Oxide, but the fact that it works with bones pickup, and also works with mining, skinning and others, it appears to be other.

I will set up a fresh server and test it, but can't imagine which plugin would interfere.  Which portion of the config allows for a whitelist/blacklist for collectibles?

Ok....it's Loottable & StackSizeGUI...I have custom loot set for collectibles, and that is somehow messing with the Xp given out by SkillTree.  I set a couple to default loot, and it works fine, so not sure what is to blame exactly, as it should still work IMO.

Yeah I have no idea how he's handled it. If he sets the value when the item is collected, then it discards any changes done by other plugins.
Youd have to ask him.
