Further down your path, we'll get into leveling up, where you'll learn powerful abilities in Core Keeper, unlock better armor, and even ways to prevent death. This game is kind of weird, as you don't distribute skill points like you normally would in some sort of level-up system; they are simply upgraded as you continue to work with them.

How to Level Up Skills
Leveling up a skill in Core Keeper is directly connected to performing tasks associated with it. For example, cooking meals is related to your mining skill, and as your skill improves, you will gain skill points to be spent in that particular skill tree. In addition to these skill points, leveling will also grant passive bonuses like increased running speed or better melee damage.
