	Tinkering

You are skilled at examining, building, repairing and modding artifacts.

Tinkering is the base skill tree that allows players to craft and modify items using Bits. However, buying the base skill will only allow the player to see what bits each item is made out of. Crafting and disassembling them are additional skills that need to be bought with skill points. The player may also need to find certain data disks or interact with unique or legendary creatures to learn how to tinker specific items and mods.

The tree focuses on the three main skills, Tinker I, II, and III, which allow the player character to craft and modify items that are more and more complex and rare.
