[Tasks]({{% ref "task" %}}).
8
+
Persons and Robots are classified as Workers. Workers are responsible for working on [Tasks]({{% ref "task" %}}) and [Missions]({{% ref "mission" %}}).
9
+
A Worker can move around a Settlement to do Task, in addition a Person can be EVA Tasks.
10
+
All Workers are not equal as they have individual Skills and Attributes that contribute to their effecient and performance.
13
11
14
12
## Skill
13
+
Every Worker has a variety of skills at their disposal and may acquire the following skills at the beginning of or during the simulation. The level of certain Skills contribute towards how a Task is completed.
14
+
15
+
### Skill Types
16
+
Skills can prove useful in various tasks while stationed, and can improve with exercise. Skill proficiency is measured in levels, where Level 0 is the lowest level.
17
+
18
+
*`Areology` - the Martian equivalent of geology, areology is the study of the surface, crust, and interior of Mars.
19
+
*`Astronomy` - like on Earth, astronomy is the study of celestial objects, the physics, chemistry, mathematics, and evolution of such objects.
20
+
*`Biology` - the study of life and living organisms, including their structure, function, growth, evolution, distribution, and taxonomy. On the Mars settlement, this is mostly human focused.
21
+
*`Botany` - a branch of biology, botany is the science of plant life.
22
+
*`Chemistry` - the study of the composition, properties and behavior of matter.
23
+
*`Computing` - the mastery of using devices to perform computation.
24
+
*`Construction` - a process that consists of the building or assembling of infrastructure.
25
+
*`Cooking` - the art or practice of preparing food for consumption with the use of heat.
26
+
*`EVA Operations` - EVA stands for Extra-vehicular Activity and covers all kinds of operations performed outside a habitat or vehicle.
27
+
*`Management` - the administrative talent for managing the settlement.
28
+
*`Materials Science` - is an interdisciplinary field applying the properties of matter to various areas of science and engineering.
29
+
*`Mathematics` - the abstract study of topics such as quantity, structure, space, and change.
30
+
*`Mechanics` - the branch of science concerned with the behavior of physical bodies when subjected to forces or displacements, and the subsequent effects of the bodies on their environment.
31
+
*`Medicine` - the field of applied science related to the art of healing by diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease.
32
+
*`Meteorology` - the interdisciplinary scientific study of the atmosphere.
33
+
*`Physics` - the study of matter and its motion through space and time, along with related concepts such as energy and force.
34
+
*`Piloting` - the controlled operation and movement of a vehicle, such as drones, explorer rovers, transport rovers, cargo rovers, and light utility vehicles.
35
+
*`Psychology` - the study of human psyche and the affinity to apply psychological insights in interpersonal relationship.
36
+
*`Reporting` - writing reports, capturing the moments and putting together documentary/docudrama.
37
+
*`Trading` - the transfer of the ownership of goods from one person or entity to another by getting something in exchange from the buyer.
38
+
39
+
The skill level affect the outcome of the task a person perform in terms of *speed* and *efficiency*.
40
+
41
+
### Multiple Skills
42
+
43
+
Although each one of these skills corresponds to a specific [Job](https://github.com/mars-sim/mars-sim/wiki/Jobs), a Worker is not limited to have one and only skill. e.g. A person may be a `Biologist` and he may have a level 2 `Biology` skill, level 1 `Mechanics` skill, and level 3 `Botany` skill.
44
+
45
+
### Experience Points
46
+
47
+
A Worker's skill may advance to the next level by repeatedly performing pertinent tasks to gain experiences so that their experience points may reach the next level threshold.
48
+
The formula for calculating the needed experience points for the next level is `25 * 2^ level`.
49
+
50
+
### Labor Time
51
+
52
+
Labor time is measured in millisols as experienced on Mars. It tracks how much time a Worker spends in performing a Task that makes use of a skill. At the beginning of a new simulation, the labor time of a skill in a Worker always starts at zero.
53
+
54
+
Most of the time, a Worker will be less likely to chose a certain task that they lack the skill set to do so.
55
+
56
+
### Initial Skill
57
+
The set of Skills assigned to a Worker uses an algorithm to ensure not all skills set at zero.
58
+
59
+
Robot skills are defined by their associated [Robot Spec]({{% ref "/docs/definitions/robot" %}}).
60
+
61
+
Person skills are created randomly but heavily influenced by their assigned [Job]({{% ref "management#jobs" %}}).
15
62
16
63
## Attributes
64
+
In addition to Skills Workers also have `National Attributes` which reflect their personality.
