Skills

There are three ways to bring up the skills of a droid.

1. Click the color bar over a monitor with the left mouse button.
2. Click the group button with the left mouse button.
3. Click the name of the droid while being in the inventory screen.

The first two skills represent the level of items a droid can use and are the only skills available at the beginning of the game.

Robotics: Level of robot parts you can use
Brawling: Level of brawling weapons you can use

Other skills will appear once skill 9 is achieved in the preceding skill. It is useless to increase a skill higher than 24 since the system only uses these values to know which type and quality the droid can handle. Once you can access the "Super" quality, a higher value won't affect anything. The only point of increasing a skill higher than 24 is to gain personality skills. Also note that the maximum brawling skill value considered when punching is 8 because the skill is used to determine the quality of the punch (from 1 to 8 meaning from basic to super)

Lacking skills

Droid has not enough skills to use this head		Droid has not enough skills to use this weapon

Not having enough skill greatly reduce the performance of a body part or prevent you from using a weapon.

Experience points

Note that the amount of experience displayed does not exceed 65,535 even though it can internally accumulate up to 4,194,303. The reason for this is that Captive uses a 5 characters buffer to convert numbers to writable strings, so it can't display more than 5 digit numbers. The code that makes the conversion is not meant to work with numbers higher than 65,535 and this is why we don't see 99,999.

Personality skills

Dexterity: Higher dexterity hit harder and better
Vitality: Higher vitality dodge hits better
Wisdom: Higher wisdom gain more experience

Health

Health: The health of your chest
Total health: The sum of all your parts' hit points

You can click the name of the droid to switch to the inventory screen.
