i know its been 3 years but a level 40 one would be good

I be glad this is getting balanced, but my initial thoughts are why stop at 30? Maybe you could keep the original 60 but scale it like you have here and add a random chance to take some chest or arm damage after training for a certain amount of time without rest. Or if it's not too complicated require another person with a higher level to be a spotter or trainer to be idling nearby to prevent taking damage.

good mod. Just glad I can get my characters to 20-30 str without walking around with a backpack full of rocks for 10 minutes.

Not sure if this is a bug but I can research weight training 3 without needing to do 1 and 2 since 3 doesn't have those in the requirements

For some reason I can only get the LV2 bench, despite having tech level 3 it's all that shows up.

this mod stops your characters from lvling labouring cus of the (mining) in benchpress, so when characters is mining they are only lvling strenght and not labouring, is there a way to fix this?

If you are using weights to train, why would you need a different training tier to increase the max strengh level? it's the same exercize with just more weight, not a different technology.
It matches the game lore and vanilla training system though

thx for continuing the awesome set of training mods

Glad to hear!

I will once back on my computer

I'd love it if you split the Wooden Dexterity Training Dummy into three tiers as well!

Thank you

Hello,
I have just finished a translation in French of your wonderful Mod.
Can I publish it, with a reference to the original mod and it's creator ?
Thank You

Thanks.
I'll look into adjustments once I have access to my computer again.

Many of the stats will show up on the screen with two different values at the same time, because one display area drops fractions and the other one rounds. Fun stuff. Must be confusing to new folks.

Thanks again for this, it's the only non-vanilla stats trainer I use regularly coz it actually feels reasonable and balanced and requires both sensible research levels and mats for building :)

Oh i know, it just bugged me when I said "10 please" in the FCS for something and then tested it in game and game said "haha sucker you get 9." All those 9, 19, 29 irked me. Frex I edited your mod in my local copy to be 11, 21, 31, and now in-game they show a nice round clean 10, 20, 30. :)

It's most likely a rounding issue with the game. Not the first time it's happened.

Doing some strength training outside the bench should fix it fast.

Side note: in game, the items allow training to one less than they should. This is due to rounding errors in the game, it happens in a number of places; I get around it with my stuff by setting the max to one higher (11, 21, etc) and then it displays/caps in game properly. Alternately, when that doesn't work right, you can set the base cap where you want it (10, 20, 30) but then make the multiplier in the TRAINING object 1.1 or even 1.05. It's all rather inexact and I'm still not 100% sure if it's just a display issue, but it can make things look cleaner.

Thank you for this. Since release I have trained Strength by loading up people with large rocks and making them run laps on F4 speed. I've done that enough, it's getting old, some basic training devices are much welcomed :)

The research

I installed the mod, but it does not appear in the training category or any other category. What am I missing?

Would require a new mod.
And I don't have access to my computer again to make it.

Thanks for the mod. Is there a way to reduce the strength training further down to 5,10,15?

I'd argue that this game is a whole grind so it is very balanced.

Good mod. Close to being balanced but it's a little on the grind-heavy side rather than balanced imho due to how expensive it is and how long it takes to build skill.

Great job - refused to use the original, this seems balanced enough.

I mostly enjoy training devices for the role play aspect. I mean, it makes sense that I would want my new recruits to hit the gym before I send them into war, right? :D

yes, training time greatly increases the farther you go.
lvl 10 and beyond can take a while, it could be easier to do old school training while in combat.

If I am not mistaken, the maximum level training value follows a logarithmic function. Meaning that setting max training level to "10" mean that the max level is *theoretically* 10, but the time needed to train from level 9 to 10 is excessively high. Maybe that explains why @Festivejelly is having troubles? It's just a tiny problem though.

Anyways, thanks for the mod! Old strength training was blatantly OP, level 60 strength through training was crazy.

should train upto 10, that's what i got the limits set at.

Hrm I noticed that it only allows me to train up to 8 strength in the level 1 bench? Is this a known issue? Researching level 2 now to see if that goes to 20.

i'm sure someone will make a compatibility patch.
but i only make those types of patches if i use said mods in question..

Not compatible with Progressive Training Overhaul, as that mod removes vanilla training researches. PTO is not compatible with any mod that relies on vanilla researches as a prerequisite.

This is what causes the "empty" research requirement.

It's a real shame that the only comprehensive, semi-balanced skill training mod is overtly incompatible with all of the semi-balanced stat training mods.

yeah i got this new recruit and i was so annoyed with the idea of strength training that i turned the game off with the idea i'd come back prepared for a grind, thank you mod guy.

so glad i found this mod, its gunna save me so much time.

maybe.

Maybe it has compatibility issues with Progressive Training Overhaul mod? That's the only thing i can think of :(

thats weird
the research requirements do not have anything else besides the books
its an exact copy near about of other training dummies. so it shouldn't have anything in the second slot for requirements.

Im kinda at a loss as to what is causing it as i looked it over again with a fine tooth comb and i do not see anything that would be causing it. its setup exactly like thief training items, just with Lower costs

As ToppyDawg says, the requirements for the Weight Bench are 2 books / empty11, 4 books / empty10 and 6 books / empty6 respectively :(

im not sure where that is coming from
i rechecked everything and its setup correctly.
im not finding the error.

Yeah just has red highlight saying in the requirements section that it needs empty 10

requirement?

it doesnt work, the requirement is empty 10

yes it does.

Does it work now?

yes it was.

Was this ever fixed?

i got the update ready, but Steam is giving me a "Timing out" error message.
will attempt to upload the update later.

could send me the file. would be easier to patch it that way. as that only takes like half a hour for that section to load.
and yes, that's how bad the damaged computer part is affecting performance lol.
so could possibly have the patch out like a hour after i get the file.
