{{dothis|'''Skill farming'''}} for [[Clone_states#Alpha_clones|alpha clones]] is possible but pointless. 5.5M skill points are required to use a skill extractor, but alpha clones are limited to 5M free skill points. So, an alpha clone must consume a large skill injector in order to produce one. Alpha clones can only extract skills that require [[Clone_states#Omega_clones|omega clone]] status (i.e., skills they can’t train in the first place), which limits their choice of a [[#Crop skill|crop skill]]. Several of the [[#Helpful skills for skill farming|helpful skills]] are unavailable to (or limited for) alpha clones, reducing their efficiency at {{dothis|'''skill farming'''}}. Therefore, this article assumes omega clone status.
