Practical Progression

Established the core of the mod
Added skill Digging
Added skill Mining
Added skill Woodcutting
Added skill Driving
Added skill Jumping
Added skill Running
Added skill Swimming
Pressing B and navigating to the new Practical Progression icon will list all of your Skill levels
Going to the challenges tab will do the same but give you additional information about the Skills

fixed bug where swimming wasn't listed in the character info sheet
updated the character info sheet UI
updated the challenges UI
changed some localization
added spears
added clubs
added sledgehammers
added unarmed
added blades
added batons

very close to full release!
added proper XP curve
normalized XP for melee and ranged kills, melee everything gets 6 XP, except Batons and Tools get 8 XP
added Tools under Melee skills
added all Ranged skills except Robotics
fixed the Batons not showing up under Challenges
updated the challenges UI for the new skills
updated the on-hit/level UI for all skills
reworked the character stats UI from ground up so it properly displays XP without decimals (was happening with the new formula)
moved the on-hit/level UI down so it sits right above the toolbelt messages and doesn't interfere with the POI UI
fixed the exploit where you could use explosives to level other skills, now properly only applies to explosives
updated the Localization

I'll call this the official release as it has all the functionality that I intended for it (still missing survival Skills but we will get there soon enough)
added Learn by doing to all of the currently implemented skills (meaning as you level the Skill you get progress with recipes as well)
magazines that are tied to the currently implemented skills grant XP towards the skill instead of towards the crafting level
added flavor to most of the Skills in the form of unique bonuses
added Salvaging
added Construction
batons renamed and combined into Robotics
challenges for getting the skill to lvl300 now only grant 2 Skill points down from 3 Skill Points
challenge descriptions updated to contain information for lvl1 but also for lvl300
changed the XP curve of Shotguns
changed the XP gain of harvesting skills
all Harvesting skills contribute towards HarvestingTools vanilla crafting recipes but at a lower rate then the rest of the Skills towards their respective vanilla crafting recipes
renamed Gathering into General
simplified some of the code in hopes of reducing some performance impact

fixed Practical Progression icon not showing in the character window when selecting Biome Progression "NO"
fixed jumping stamina reduction to actually work now
fixed driving not giving vehicle crafting XP
jumping stamina reduction reduced from 60% to 30% to be in line with running

Forgot to fix something so read v3.101

oh boy, where do I start
added Sneak
added Armorer
added Medic
added Cooking
added Farming
added Electrician
added Salvaging
rewrote a LOT of shit in my code so it can handle XP overflow and keep it performant
all Skills can now handle XP overflow properly
all Skills now get bonus XP depending on what you are killing/destroying/doing (not gonna spoil go explore!)
all Skills XP gain slightly increased
level 1 XP requirement increased from 15 to 50
all Skill per/level bonuses nerfed by about 25%, some cases even more (progression was too strong)
all ranged Skills now get Reload per level up to 30% at level 300 and some flavor stats
Skill "Running" no longer gains XP from walking
tool crafting level now increases every 7 levels up from every 6 levels of harvesting skills, it was too fast (to max out tool crafting you now need 233 in Woodcutting, 233 in Digging and 233 in Mining)
all recipe progress slowed down to be maxed at lvl300 (exception is above)
fixed bug where level up sounds played to everyone
fixed bug rifles always proccing a crit
nerfed chance to one shot blocks with gathering skills from 12% to 9% at max level (chainsaws and augers only have 3% at max level)
the UI now only displays the LEVEL UP notification (no longer displays on hit progress with Woodcutting, Digging, Mining)
fixed some UI issues
fixed some localization issues
cooking magazine grants a bit more XP than the rest, this is intended as I have no other way of properly giving Cooking XP so read your recipes! you also get Xp by eating stuff. It is what it is.
fixed the UI text bug where it said under "SURVIVAL" (NEXT UPDATE)... this is the next update

WARNING - changed the name of the Folder to zzPracticalProgression so it gets loaded last. THIS MIGHT FK UP YOUR SAVE, BACK IT UP. This was done because some mods (*cough*lookingatyouprojectZ*cough* overwrite the whole tags section of items (why would any mod even overwrite values in the first place instead of adding them like mine does is beyond me but here we are)
nerfed Armorer passive XP that is granted just by wearing armor by 80%
fixed Sneak multiplier showing up on every hit (seeing how nobody reported this yet goes to show that no one on Gods green Earth plays Stealth in this game)
inside the character stat panel for Practical progression swapped the locations of XP and LVL since it makes more sense to show XP first
