hello @Xandu!
A friend and I recently optimized the settings for the ClassEXPModifier portion of the XSkills config files. I think they are very balanced and gives each class a unique feel from one another, cuts out old legacy classes no longer supported by the base game and even adds support for the most popular class mod, More Classes (and by extension, Division of Labor.)
Right now, Vintage Story does not have the infrastructure to patch mod config files. As a beginner maker, creating a custom string of code is beyond me. But I had an idea: what if I share my balancing chart and a copy of the config settings and let you implement these settings into the default config files instead?
I think the community as a whole would appreciate it.
Here is an image of the chart I created, and a link to the chart itself here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1YYKSlqOh-RdGu2wfAzIn2I1kxOOWA99y6mPbEOTbngE/edit?usp=sharing
And below is a .zip folder containing the edited values and additional entries.
(please note that exp related skills were doubled to bring them in line with class bonuses.) XLeveling.zip
Some notes to explain the balancing:
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. I do hope you'll consider implementing this into your mod.
