This wiki describes version 0.13.3.

GrindstoneSkills deepens five of the game's skills (your levels count) and adds four new ones. Perks grow evenly from nothing at level 0 to full at level 100; milestones unlock at a set level. The Skills window becomes a skill book, and skill loss on death is configurable.

Skill Kind Adds
Cooking game faster cooking, slower burning, extra food, saved ingredients, trash filter
Sailing new tougher, faster ships, wider map reveal, Wind Call, Lookout
Woodcutting game aimed falls, domino felling, clean splits, old growth, replanting, finds
Pickaxes game seams, splash, rich veins, extra ore, Echo, finds
Foraging new wild picks: extra yield, sweep picking, best-time hints
Fishing game a fight on the line, more bites, big and legendary fish, snags, angler's log
Husbandry new taming, calm creatures, breeding, twins, produce, Animal Feeder
Defense new health, damage reduction, regeneration, guard perks, four milestones
Farming game faster growth, row planting, auto-replant, giant crops, tending, compost

Since 0.13.0 nothing rolls stars; items starred earlier keep theirs. See Skill Book, Stars And Death.
