interesting , for some reason my guys are getting only dex when hitting skeles in beds. Im gonna test around.

@hefty It will if martial arts give strength xp in the same way that weapons do. I'm not sure if martial arts uses a different multiplier.

does this change the way martial arts gives str xp?

Thanks dude! And thank you so much for this mod, you and other modders who help smoothen out the games jank are godsends

@ARS2000 One of the people below noticed the same thing. I'll have to change the description to clarify. With this mod enabled, if your character is carrying a body, and has 70% encumbrance, your strength XP in the UI should show as 100%. Without the mod, it should show up as 50%.

The way the UI works here is really confusing. In the default game, the highest strength XP rate you can get shows as 50% as in the UI for some reason.

In the editor, I set the XP rate to 200%, so the in game UI should show it as 100%.

This video should explain it for you: https://youtu.be/lUjTKEe9aM8

So I got this mod in, and I do believe its working because some of my characters strength stats levelled up faster, but when I was looking at the XP growth rate, it still only said 50% which I thought doesn't sound right even if the actual end results are them growing faster now.

Is this like a UI error on my part?

I am a kenshi fan and I approve this mod, I hated the good ol' iron hauling

Hmm Alright, I assumed from your description it would've increased it to 200% gain.

@Patricia?! This video should help explain it: https://youtu.be/lUjTKEe9aM8

@Patricia?! That means the mod is working. The vanilla game's max strength XP from encumbrance while carrying a corpse is 50%. This mod doubles it to 100%. I can see why the description could be confusing. Also, by top priority do you mean that you placed it all the way at the bottom? Mods at the bottom of the load order have the highest priority.

and to be clear I have made sure to put it at top priority on my mod load order so I am utterly unsure as to what else could be causing it not to work.

I am assuming that this mod no longer functions, I am using it and i'm fully encumbered with a corpse on my shoulder yet it still states i am only getting strength at a 100% rate

Thanks for this mod. I'm not a fan of carrying stacks of rocks on my back to walk back and fourth for literal 4+-6+ real life hours to reach high strength. More power to you guys who find that fun.

If your intention to raising strength is just by beating stronger opponents then you can reach 70 strength in about 80-100 days. Pretty neat!

@ConTorem after a 100 hour play through where I beat Catlon, my highest strength character using a fallen sun was around 75 strength. It'd still take a while to get to 70.

Aren't the multipliers a bit big? How long would it take to level to let's say 70?

45 minutes? huh

had one playthrough where i was playing a solo character and when walking around the map i made sure to always be overencumbered and carry a body around unless i was fighting/doing stealth stuff/running away and by day 200 you'd imagine i'd already be at level 100 but nope, i was at level 96

strength gets like 5x harder to level up once you make it to level 90 it seems, i don't doubt that by day 300 i still wouldn't be at max level strength

@CaptainP.ussy It should. Just put my mod below your XP mod in your load order so that is overwrites it. When you carry someone and are over encumbered, it should say "Strength XP: 100".

can this mod be use along with other xp mods, I'm using 20% exp mod.

goooooood

just spent like 3 hours getting sadneil up to 70 strength just to find this when i open the workshop

NICE

Mate ! This should be in the base game !

heres a golden star.

You've damn well earned it

This mod is quite reasonable.
