Give 1 stat point per level up of skills

As far as I know, there is no benefit of leveling up skills, besides access to better quests and items. Which means going from say 17 mining to 18 mining does nothing.

Options:

Simple upgrades:

• A set upgrade per skill (or set progression).

  • i.e each time you get a point in strength, it adds 1 damage to when using melee weapons equipped (or to the melee only)

  • Mining: Increased speed of mining, OR increased chance of rarer loot.

  • Farming: Increased speed OR chance of a ‘gold’ crop (better stats).

  • etc

Skill Tree per skill:

• Allow the player to select from a skill tree for each skill. This would have various buffs, and allow the player to customize their experience depending on what they prefer. There would likely need to be a ‘cost’ to reset the skill tree and re-allocate the points, and/or possibly a cooldown too. Please see Core Keeper for a decent example of how it could be done.
