Summary0009480: Players aren't told what Mood or Profession Skill increase
DescriptionCurrent Workarounds:
(a) Investigate. Note a character's initial chance of survival and success for a mission. Give that character a profession book. Go back to the same mission, and see which stat increased.
(b) Read the changelog, ask on the forums, etc

Issues:
Both (a) and (b) force the player to go out of their way learning how the game works, when things could be made easier for them. Even if they do this, they may later forget.
If a player is disinclined / doesn't think of doing these, they may just throw every gift they can at the character who they want to do missions better.

Proposed solutions:
* In the "give gift to [resident]" window that shows all available gifts to give them, have the following text at the very bottom of it: "Profession Skill increases Dispatch chance of success; Mood increases Dispatch chance of survival." (I think I got that right...)
* As an alternative, add some text to the clickable buttons of the actual gifts. in between the Gift Name and its Stat change, have text that reads "Increases Dispatch Chance of Survival" (or success, as it may be). If the word 'Increases' is too long for that space, the word 'Ups', or 1+ insert carrots ^, could be used instead. EG: ^^^/Ups Dispatch Chance of Survival.

What this helps:
* Players should now always know which gifts improve which dispatch stats.
