Notes:

Electricity: Lots of downtime, needs useful secondary work skills.


Kindling: Jormuntide Ignis is easier to get. Kindling has downtime, good work skill for Applied Technique Books.


Gathering: Frostallion Noct is Nocturnal.


Mining: Astegon is Nocturnal and mining doesn’t have downtime.


Planting: Prunelia ends up beating Lyleen even without books.


Watering: Jormuntide breeds into Jormuntide Ignis for Kindling. Ghangler is a great new option. With work books Jellroy and Jelliette are the fastest workers.


Medicine: Not used much.


Handiwork: Lots of downtime, looks for secondary work skills that you need most.


Lumbering: Not very important late game. Just having Shroomers for the Sanity effect doing lumbering is fine even without work books.


Cooling: Lowest priority so secondary skills will override cooling without the monitoring stand.


Transporting: Varies a bit with base layout. With chests next to work stations Runspeed is best. With travel Transport Speed and size become more important. See Transport Pals.
