    After reviewing the game files, the research binge only works for skills that have levels between 2-5.  I was wrong in my original post in about it only being the top skill and right in another.

                  <V t="statistic">
                    <U n="statistic">
                      <T n="must_have_stat">True</T>
                      <T n="stat">16705<!--Skill: statistic_Skill_AdultMajor_HomestyleCooking--></T>
                      <V t="value_threshold" n="threshold">
                        <U n="value_threshold">
                          <E n="comparison">LESS_OR_EQUAL</E>
                          <T n="value">5</T>
                        </U>
                      </V>
                    </U>
                  </V>
                  <V t="statistic">
                    <U n="statistic">
                      <T n="must_have_stat">True</T>
                      <T n="stat">16705<!--Skill: statistic_Skill_AdultMajor_HomestyleCooking--></T>
                      <V t="value_threshold" n="threshold">
                        <U n="value_threshold">
                          <E n="comparison">GREATER_OR_EQUAL</E>
                          <T n="value">2</T>

    Also, the research binge skills only cover the base game skills newer skills are not added.  Files from newer skills do not exist in the game.  The skills that work with the research binge action are listed below:

    I updated the title of the thread to reflect the actual issue in the game that is the actual glitch. @crinrict

    I see the same, it only raises base game skills. It seems like it would make more sense to raise any skill that can be raised on a computer.
