Logical Experience

All Skills now get the appropriate amount of experience.

Features

• all experience gain is balanced now, buffed in logical ways (e.g. crossbows, dodging, riding, cooking, crafting,...)
• all kills grant XP (this was done so combat grants more xp than training)
• kill XP contributes to the skill which kills (e.g. sword kills grants sword xp)
• XP overflow is granted not dropped (no XP is lost on level up like in vanilla)
• kill XP floating numbers (client-side, can see the +xp numbers float when you kill an enemy, very cool if you want to know how much each kill is worth xp)
• all XP log (client-side, can use this if you want to see all the minor XP gains that you get, very spammy and recommended for testing purposes only)

Installation

Install on both the server and every client.

With Manager - install with Gale, r2modman, or Thunderstore Mod Manager (BepInEx is pulled in automatically since it's marked as a dependancy)

Manual - drop LogicalExperience.dll into BepInEx/plugins

Configuration

Local - after first launch, the config is at: BepInEx/config/devon752.LogicalExperience.cfg

Server - on a dedicated server, edit the server's file (Clients receive those values automatically)

Configs - Everything listed here can only be toggled on or off

1 - General

• Lock configuration - locks the "Skills" configuration settings serverwide
• Show kill xp popups - client-side setting that can enable or disable the on-kill XP floating text
• Show top left xp log - client-side setting that can enable or disable the XP log on the top left (very clunky and spamming, recommended only for testing)

2 - Skills

Compatibility

• should be compatible with everything since all skill gains in this mod can be toggled on or off
• compatible mods (tested): Hooked by Azumatt
• Valheim 1.0.17+

1.0.7

• fishing no longer has the x4 vanilla multiplier, it's back to vanilla rates
• fishing: each type of fish has different base XP that it gives
• fishing: quality multiplies the base XP of the fish
• fishing: when a fish has been caught once (by fishing or hand) it will no longer grant XP (preventing exploits)
• all bonus XP gains are now slightly delayed so they don't conflict with other mod multipliers (looking at you "Hooked")

1.0.5

• recommended to delete your old .cfg file so the new one can be rebuilt on start
• fixed XP overflow working with other mods that grant extra XP by delaying it slightly on each level up (compatible with Hooked now!)

• fishing when toggled on now has a x4 vanilla multiplier
• fixed the top left log sometimes showing incorrect values
