Works with 8.0!

Is it working on the new beta? (Amazing work, by the way. Thank you so much!)

Does this effect boarding skill gain at all?

Their mod page does explain the differences between their mod and this mod (and also Learning All The Things), so I figured I need not repeat themselves.

@Vectorial1024 No worries but you should probably mention how it's different. It does the exact same thing as this mod, just with slower leveling. It's somewhere between this mod and vanilla, and there's certainly interest for that.

Also, the mods are incompatible. Use either this mod or that one.

Not trying to dismiss the work of the author here, but recently there is a new mod Crew Skill Leveling Revised on Nexus Mods that also deals with crew leveling. Perhaps someone may be interested.

Its good, thank you

@edenxfund Yes. It affects all NPCs, not only your own.

Disabling it for AI factions is out of scope for this mod.

its work for AI ?

自分以外の日本人プレイヤーに向けたこのmodの仕様の推測です
恐らく与えられたタスクを完了したタイミングで経験値的なものが付与されるようです
作者が小型採掘船をお勧めしているのは一回の採掘、売却の間隔が狭いため、
経験値取得速度が速いからだと推測されます
また、経験値式ではなく一定確率でランクアップの可能性もありますが、
めんどくさいので検証していません

Ran the tests, and surprise surprise! The mod still works! :)

I think this mod is obsolete until updated for now

seems not working....

Thank you for all your hard work in developing this little monster 😃

@helegos Incompatible, according to their wiki.

I just downloaded my first mod today (interworlds). Just wondering if this mod will work with SWI ?

@Moktag Not sure how the venture mechanic works nowadays. But in terms of saves, this mod is only "save safe" in that it will not break your save if you remove the mod. However, the save will probably still be marked as "modified" even after removing the mod.

But I'm honestly clueless about the details, I've never played without mods. :)

Will it still allow save file to be used for ventures online?

Tested on 7.60, it still works.

Is it working ? i've had my game running for more than 12 hours, and my crews are not even lvl3.

Thanks for the mod man, its awesome.

@Dylan
"Engineering and boarding rates remain unchanged."
"And I will never touch boarding parameters, vanilla level chance is already very high for successful boarding operations." from the mod autor...
maybe you're heavily misinformed?

@nnn3323 This mod is not responsible for that, I've had it on for my entire run so far. You're heavily misinformed and may be using conflicting mods.

thx for great mod

Anyway, thanks for the great mod, I've been using it for a long time, it's a shame that the marines were left out :(

That mod's description says that docked ships do not get experience. And I skimmed through the latest version of his code, with the base settings it should take on average 22 hours to go from 0 to 5 stars. :)

Faster Crew Leveling only changes the parameters of the existing leveling system. I will never add other methods of gaining levels beyond vanilla. There are already other mods that do this. And I will never touch boarding parameters, vanilla level chance is already very high for successful boarding operations.

I have no intentions of making other mods at this time.

I see this mod because I also use nexus, but I don't use it because in an hour of game time I will get a crew with 5 stars in everything, even if the ship is just moored at the station. According to this logic, i can simply use a cheat mod and get the crews on all ships pumped up to the maximum, your mod does not do this, but systematically pumps up the crews within reasonable limits, in all parameters, except for marines

@nnn3323 Look into "Learn All The Things" on Nexus mods. It does almost exactly what you're asking for, and can even be configured to your liking.

How about training the marines, currently the marines don't get experience on ships, so for example the catty sergeant hard train subordinates marines during long flights.

Tests passed, it still works for 7.50.

7.50 не работает

I love the thumbnail

I confirm compatibility with 7.5 beta

@mxmissile it seems to work. Atleast my pilots level up much faster than i remember them doing. And moral on all my crew is much higher than engineering

Can anyone confirm this is working with the latest 7.x?

it's compatible, but I don't feel that my crews are increasing their levels.

that's a good question, does the mod work with version 7.1?

с 7,1 работает?

Wouldn't it be possible to add a bonus to marines? They level up REALLY slowly (IF they don't die)

Managers gain XP from transactions under their authority.

An S ship doing trades will give the manage either 2 or 3 chances to gain XP for every transaction cycle they are involved in. IE, dock, buy, fly somewhere else, dock, sell. Each transaction in that loop gives the manager either 2 or 3 chances to gain XP.

This means, lots of REALLY fast ships doing small inconsequential trades is the best way to level a manager. It's also the best way to level pilots safely in my experience.

Setup a trade station, just a dock(s) and a container storage. Now, assign say, 100 scouts to trade for the station. Set it to buy and sell energy cells or something. They will turbo level the manager, and level up their own skills reliably quickly by shuttling energy cells around.

If i put my ships on patrol duty their level will increase ?

How do managers gain xp?

Compatible with 7.10 ?

Looks to me like the companion .cat file contains metadata such as file size and checksum, so editing the .dat file directly is probably a very bad idea. If there's a mismatch I doubt the mod will load.

Since the .dat is apparently in plain text you can just copy the content to the correct file, edit it from there and it should work. You may want make your own mod and put the experiences.xml file there instead for best result as Steam might clean up any personal edits you make to Workshop mods. Don't forget to unsubscribe to this mod or it might override your own.

For future reference, you can use the Catalog Tool in X Tools (put steam://launch/282160/dialog in a browser to install/launch) to extract X4 .cat/.dat files.

Didn't realize that this particular file was just an xml file. Usually I see .dat, I figure it's an actual data file and would show up in notepad as complete gibberish. Good call.

@meridias561 I'm not an expert but you can try to edit .dat file with notepad or some other text editor. When you open it there are 3 parameters, "base", "falloff" and "limit". If i understand this correctly base parameter specifies basic amout of experience awarded for action. Falloff determines how quickly the experience gain decrases as more lvels are gained. Limit=15 means 5stars on crew member. So if you change base from 1 to 2 that means crew will get twice as much exp as it is now.

WIth that beein said, I havent tested it and i'm not 100% sure this is correct thinking.

Any possibility of having the experiences.xml file loose or exposed so people are able to modify the skill increases to be as slow/fast as they want? That being said, just installed this for the skill cap removal alone. :)

@$00 ahhhh thx for the Info bro.

@Blade Ah, miners are no longer exempt from the "bad trade" penalty. If your miners are selling to NPC stations then this might be why. Miners "selling" to your own stations should be unaffected.

It's about the mining ships. I'll keep an eye on it tomorrow. Thanks for the answer the mod is great.
