The Walking Trade Skill Tree Guide
The Walking Trade skill tree is not fully documented in the verified public research. Patch v1.2.0 confirms the Homesteading skill for rooftop farming, and community discussions mention employee skill trees, but complete vanilla nodes, XP values and unlock order are Pending confirmation.

What Is Verified
The Rooftop Farming update confirms Homesteading. Its notes say the skill improves farming actions and unlocks recipes, making it useful once roof access and plots are available.
Community discussions about employee skill trees exist, and a Nexus mod page offers extended skills. These sources show player interest but do not establish a complete vanilla skill system.
This page avoids a fabricated node chart. Use the in-game skill UI and patch notes for requirements, especially after updates newer than v1.2.8.
Plan Skill Progression
Match skills to the run's bottleneck. If rooftop farming is active, Homesteading directly improves confirmed farming actions and recipes.
If raids or empty shelves are the problem, first fix the confirmed systems behind them: guards, weapons, scavengers, customer service and storage.
Record what each visible skill changes before spending points. This creates a personal reference without inventing numbers that official notes do not provide.
Avoid Modded Assumptions
Do not mix modded and vanilla skill advice. Extended skills can change progression, UI, balance and compatibility.
Check the mod page for its required CustomSkillsAPI and MelonLoader versions if you use such content. Back up saves before testing.
Uninstall skill mods before reporting base-game progression issues, so the problem can be reproduced without community changes.
