Best Way To Level Metalworking
Going off the chart the best way to level Metalworking fast is to disassemble Large Fridges (2 vertical doors), Bathtubs, Large Metal Shelves and Dumpsters as you explore.
Bathtubs will be the most common you’ll come by. Large Fridges will give the most XP, you can find them at gas stations and convenience stores.
You can also find car wrecks and dismantle them for XP. It’s great for materials too.
If your game is running a vehicle recycling mod you’ll be able to dismantle any car. If this is the case this will be the best way for leveling Metalworking as well as farming materials.
At Lv. 2 Metalworking you can build Lv. 1 metal walls. Lv. 2 metal walls however require Lv. 8 Metalworking.
Note: Building Metal Wall Frames do not give Metalworking XP.
Tips For Leveling Faster
