Better leaning not active?

I have up to better learning III, but recently it stopped working. I know this because I'm currently learning Tinkering V, which standardly takes 10 days, but it used to be much lower (I don't remember the number but I would have known 10 days... i think it was 6 or 7?). 

Has this happened for anyone else? I've tried changing to other skills (this happened during the last time the game was open), but it seems to effect them all.

  • When you learn other skills, the time it takes you to learn more skills increases.

    Even with all Better Learnings, this is true. :) They take a percentage of your time off, yes, but they do not prevent your time from going up as you learn new skills.

    I'm sure someone could do the math and figure out the exact numbers, but as a rough example: It takes 6 days to learn Tinkering V. You learn BL III, and the time cuts down to 5 days. You then learn several new skills however, and the time jumps up to 10 days to learn T V.

    Or, It takes 6 days to learn Tinkering V. You don't learn the better learnings, but you learn several other skills. The time jumps up to 11 days to learn T V.

    The Better Learnings aren't meant to permanently take time off; you will ALWAYS gain more time when you learn more skills, but they are meant to take off a percentage of the total time... just imagine how long it would take if you DIDN'T learn them ;)

    Does that kind of make sense? I tried explaining it as best I could. Basically what I'm trying to say is that I'm fairly sure this isn't a bug, it's just how the game works :)

  • OH! ..... well dang, ok, that makes perfect sense. I saw T V as 6 days, then went on a learning spree for a bunch of 2-5 hour things... and then it came back up as 10 days.

    I guess I was just confused because I didn't remember reading that anywhere...

    Thanks for the explanation! Crystal clear now :)

  • You are very welcome :)

    Yeah, as tempting and easy as it is to learn a bunch of 2-5 hour things, it really adds on to your time in the long run! XD Hehe.
