Proficiency planner

Pick up to three tracks and build a session route. No XP calculator, because the launch values are not verified.

The short version

Pick up to three proficiencies you want to work on, choose a session length, and get a practical route. This is a planner, not an XP calculator: the Early Access XP and perk values are not verified, so there is no level math here.

What do you want to work on? Pick up to three.

What the planner knows

The first four are named on the official Early Access page; the rest are demo or community beta data.

What the planner does not do

  • It does not calculate XP, levels or the fastest route to a perk.
  • It does not know your current progress, inventory or battery.
  • It does not promise that a track is available in the demo. Fishing, Community and Research are Early Access or beta territory.
  • It does not rank proficiencies. “Best” depends on what you are trying to build.
Why no XP math

The demo caps proficiencies at Level 5; Early Access goes further. The only detailed XP tables we found are community-compiled from the closed beta. A calculator built on them would look precise and be wrong. The planner gives you a route, not a false number.

Sources and checks

Checked 2026-10-23. Factual claims are drawn from the sources below; demo and beta values are labelled because they may change at Early Access. Recommendations are ours.

Track names from official/demo/community sources; no XP or level math published.

We do not publish a recipe, price, stat or mechanic without a source. If something is missing, it is marked unverified rather than guessed.
