Pretty sure it's always been this way. Pulling the scrap is resources, sorting it is scav skill. It actually fits tho if you think about it. Picking rocks doesn't give you masonry skill.... picking grass doesn't give you basketry. The only one that works that way is forestry and that makes sense...there's nothing to 'craft' with forestry, just planting trees and extracting seeds, and with the tree limits, no one would want to work on it if that was the only way to gain forestry. :x

Those are bad examples to me. Let me break it down a little more.
I think sorting, and pulling scrap should be scavenging skill. Much like pulling cones and extracting the seeds would be forestry skill for both.


Resource (not resources) bar uses many skills to get items from there.

Rock = Resources Skill
Branches = Forestry Skill
Grass = Foraging Skill
Scrap = Resources Skill

So why is scrap using resources skill? It doesnt fit.

While it may not fit to you, there was a case to be made for why it does indeed fit just fine. So, it all depends on the comparison you choose to make.

Rock, Sand, Salt, Tar, Scrap Bundle, etc - Resources
Branches, Twigs, Sap, Leaves, Cones, Seeds - Forestry
Grass - Foraging

I understood the forestry comparison, I listed it in my post.

Scav skill isn't hard to level at all, Forestry however is more difficult with trees being involved (tree limit, time to grow, etc) so it being a bit different from the others is completely understandable.

This is more of a suggestion but I will consider this for the first upcoming 'suggestions patch.

Thanks
