Hi rhinno

1- Yes it is possible but very difficult. When you increase one skill, another will go slightly down (not at much as the one increased, so in theory it is possible to get all to 100). I deciced to have several characters to distribute the skills. Having more than one account character in a tribe unlocks some features for the tribe, e.g. the mist trader.

2- Toons are created by buying more accounts (which is fully legally here and wanted by the developer). Only limit is your available real-life money, but if you wait for sales you can buy a lot of them much cheaper. Currently, the game is in 67% sale, so now is the time to buy accounts. I know that there is a player who bought thousand accounts to support the developer and to increase the tribe size.

3- There is no mining in this game. Maybe you have seen those junk piles. They contain cloth, leather, metal and plastic as well as a lot of other things. I recommend that you use the ACTION "Scavenging" on it because you can find dollar bills, blueprints, tool parts etc this way, too. The better your scavenging, the more pieces you can find, e.g. 20 nails in one go.

If you need help ingame, just ask in the chat. Please keep in mind that the other players come from all timezones in the world, so depending on where you live you can get more or less answers. Keep trying though, most players are very friendly and helpful.

Wishing you a lot of fun!
