Terraforming XP
Terraforming gives way too much xp

Having tried most things so far, terraforming by far gives the most xp. I can gain a full level in a just an hour or few of gameplay. The same time in another craft (like toolcrafting) is a day or two.

I am guessing that since it never fails, it always registers as a positive and you gain really fast. I could see macro-ers just terraforming down and up on an area and leveling very quickly. I put it as a priority 3, because if macro-ers do this, the system for level design will be out of whack with the macro-ers having huge advantages due to skill levels.

I think the ratio needs to be reduced drastically like 1/20 and make it time based, so no more then X (or X%) xp in X time no matter what you do.

I'm not sure about the amount of xp it currently gives. But I do know all skills use a diminishing returns on doing the same things over and over. If you do nothing but grind the easiest to craft item you will get to a point where you get very very little xp from it. I would imagine that terraforming works the same way. I can scavage and gain about a level per hour also. But I keep having to mix it up with foraging and other skills in order to keep the xp gain coming in from it.
