Core Dweller point numbers

[Morticai]

Im kinda new to TQ, but in game my core dweller is showing 16/12/16/12 to max his skill tree and both titancalc and Poinas skill guide are showing it as 16/8/12/8.

Got the gold edition through steam, running fan patch 1.17 and tqvault 2.2.2.2.

Anyone know why the discrepancy?

The skill maxima were raised to their ultimate levels in the fanpatch, as a bug workaround. Note that +skills will not increase them further.

Was that done for all skills? because most of them look like the numbers are the same. Or was it that most skills just couldn't be raised past their default levels with +skills items.

For instance my Ritualists wolves are still showing a max of 16 in game but I know they can go up to at least 18 with +skills or a shrine which gives you access to 3 wolves instead of just 2.

Only skills used by pets.

Ok I think I got it now. So the actual Summon ability for the pet (square icon) wasn't changed and can still increase with +skills but all the pets abilities if maxed on the skill pane wont be affected by +skills.

So with the fanpatch for each point of +skills I get I should pull 1 point out of pet skills if I want to keep those skills maxed without wasting points?

Exactly.
Same with all skills when they reach their limit. Most of them are capped at max+4.
