just wondering if i were to use a datum for a skill system how exactly do i do the saving for it? do i put the entire datum under all the stuff to be saved or just the vars or what?

You'd save it like you would anything else, datums aren't much different than atoms in regards to how they're saved.

var/my_datum/my_datum = new()

var/savefile/my_save = new("myfile.sav")
my_save["my_datum"] << my_datum
