"My colonist levels up and then almost instantly down again!"
This is caused by a feature in vanilla RimWorld known as skill decay. Skills at lvl 10 and higher lose xp. If xp goes low enough, the skill levels down. The rate of skill decay increases with every level - It is slow at lvl 10, and fast at lvl 20.
This can lead to two problems:

- A colonist on level 10 or higher in a skill she almost never uses will lead to that skill almost always ending up at the very top of lvl 9, because skill decay stops as soon as a skill goes below lvl 10. This means that only a tiny bit of xp is needed to level her up to lvl 10 again, which then goes down to 9 again, and so on.

- A colonist with a high level skill she uses almost all the time will likewise lead to that skill jumping up and down between e.g. lvl 19 and 20.

Level Up! has a cooldown between notifications to make this feel less irritating, but it does not in any way prevent or slow down skill decay.

Ah I see I see, I wonder when steam is gonna overhaul the workshop considering what a mess it is.

It's the complexity of having multiple versions of the same mod for multiple Rimworld versions in one download. On GitHub all previous versions exist in separate zip-files. Steam Workshop does not support that, so the one mod i upload here needs to support all versions in one. Definitely doable, but i'd rather not. Especially not for older versions that most people don't play on anymore. Less time for missing nowadays, so i try and keep things simple. I hope downloading an older versions from GitHub can work for you. Glad you're enjoying the mod ☺️

Wait but why remove 1.4 in the first place if it works?

@TheRandomFox
Correct, it supports 1.5 and 1.6 going forward. However, if you're still on 1.4 and want to continue using it, you can download any of the older versions from the Releases on GitHub (linked in description).

this mod is no longer compatible with 1.4?

@ThottyNathaniel
Yeah, you can configure that in the mod settings.

does it say when it levels down, if not can you add an option please, with maybe a different sound effect

And found it. Noticed in my config files had another mod that was using the mod settings class "LevelUp.Settings", so tried disabling that one and now this one shows up. It's the Level This! mod, which weirdly enough, I was using together with this no problem in 1.4. So no idea why things stopped working :/
