Thank you so very much,this is gonna make life at the very least 90% less painful and about 100% more enjoyable

Sure, added support, did very basic testing on B42. Hopefully didn't break 41.

Yeah I find the vanilla strength/fitness totally useless and unrealistic because of how slow it is.

Man having this in build 42 would be great, would make having to grind for strength and fitness easier and make muscle strain less of a pain

Has mod been tested w/characters who've taken unfit/weak or obease/very underweight to validate the non Greek Chad's?
Ludwig Van B.  [author] 1 Jan, 2024 @ 12:13pm 
Verified mod still working. Base vanilla gives around 60 strength xp when doing pushups for 10 minutes. With the mod it gives a little over 1000xp.

Still don't understand why the base game is that low.
Going from rank 5 to 6 fitness could be considered being moderately strong to a bit more strong.
This costs 30000xp, so in base game it'd take 500 rounds of pushups to level up. This comes out to half a week (3.5 days) of non-stop pushups. Or 167 days of half-hour pushups every day. Which then also doesn't improve fitness at all. Bit unreasonable!

I get Kick Player Type 9 with Fitness, if your Mod is active. How can i solve it?
Ludwig Van B.  [author] 3 Jun, 2023 @ 7:14pm 
Theoretically it should, unless there's been updates to the exercise type definitions.
Should be an extremely noticeable difference during exercise, especially on lower levels. (#getthosegains)

This Still work?
Ludwig Van B.  [author] 15 Jan, 2022 @ 5:12pm 
sure don't see why not
phinnsy 14 Jan, 2022 @ 8:34pm 
can this be added to a game currently in progress?
MACCA 14 Jan, 2022 @ 12:46pm 
ty it has started working now i am overweight..
The Last Roman 13 Jan, 2022 @ 5:07am 
@MACCA That happened to me too, but only when I'm underweight or overweight. Try with an average amount of weight to see if it starts working again.
Ludwig Van B.  [author] 12 Jan, 2022 @ 3:05pm 
that's odd, wouldn't think it's the mod (just checked in debug mode at level 7 fitness, works alright with squats). You could check by removing the mod to see if the issue persists. And yeah it's also possible being overweight in the game puts limits on fitness gains.
MACCA 12 Jan, 2022 @ 8:22am 
i seem to have an issue. i have been using the mod for a couple of days .worked fine until i hit level 7 in fitness. i have 25xp an no longer gain xp doing exercise .i don't know if its the mod or if it cause i am obese (ingame)
The Last Roman 3 Jan, 2022 @ 1:04am 
@Sego Some of the workouts are just worse in vanilla. Situps for example give less xp than squats. I assume the barbell and dumbbells are higher because you need to find gym equipment to even do them, so it should be a sort of reward.

But I don't understand why there different multipliers
Ludwig Van B.  [author] 31 Dec, 2021 @ 9:28pm 
I imagine it'd stack with fitness traits.
It adjusts the multiplier for each exercise by the above values.
Stellar Harbour 31 Dec, 2021 @ 3:58pm 
Does it stacks with Prodigy trait?
And what is overall multiplier for mod XP?
Ludwig Van B.  [author] 23 Dec, 2021 @ 7:45pm 
Yes.
It simply multiplies each exercise by a large factor. I chose the factor based on experimentation to make it easier to keep up with a routine and see similar progress in the fitness and strength progression.
Stellar Harbour 23 Dec, 2021 @ 1:22pm 
So it working for any time option? 10/30/60 minutes?
Marads~Yuuka 21 Dec, 2021 @ 9:57am 
Thank you.
Ludwig Van B.  [author] 21 Dec, 2021 @ 8:32am 
Added the multiplication factors used to the description.
Thus vanilla XP values are 9-20X lower than the above values.
Marads~Yuuka 21 Dec, 2021 @ 5:04am 
Just as a reference how much is vannila xp values for each exercise?
Ludwig Van B.  [author] 20 Dec, 2021 @ 10:09pm 
10 minutes of squats. In my experimentation xp is awarded continuously during a workout.
Wyr 20 Dec, 2021 @ 6:52pm 
Is that 500 exp for 10 minutes of squats or per exercise?
