Tinkering

Certain objects have a "Tinker With" option. Selecting this option allows Tinies to acquire the Tinkering skill.

Leveling up the Tinkering skill allows Tinies to discover and apply upgrades in order to improve objects. The higher their Tinkering skill, the more upgrades are available.

Tinkering with an object with a low Tinkering skill may cause objects to break. Tinies can repair objects with the Repair skill.

Tinies cannot Tinker With objects if they have an Uncomfortable mood.

In-Game Description:
"Sometimes, stuff that you buy just isn't good enough, and you want to improve it manually, or 'hack on it' as the kids say.

Tinker with objects to find out about available upgrades, and then apply them to make them better!"
