VEIN XP multiplier: change how fast skills level

Set the VEIN Skill XP multiplier in the Config Editor. 1 is normal, higher levels skills faster, lower slower. Stop the server first, then start it again.

Updated , checked on VEIN 0.025 Hotfix 3

The Skill XP setting is a multiplier on the experience players earn. The default is 1, which is the game’s normal speed. Set it to 2 for double, 0.5 for half. It applies the next time the server starts.

What the number means

A multiplier scales something. At 1 nothing changes. Above 1 players earn more XP for the same action. Below 1 they earn less. The panel accepts any value from 0 to 10, and decimals such as 1.5 are fine.

The panel’s help line says only: “How much more or less XP players earn.”

Change it

  1. Choose Stop at the top right of the server page. The game rewrites its settings files when it stops, so the editor saves only while the server is stopped.
  2. Open Config Editor and choose the Game rules file.
  3. In the group Survival, find Skill XP.
  4. Type the new number.
  5. Choose Save. The changes apply when the server starts.
  6. Choose Start at the top right of the server page.

  1. Skill XP

The Skill XP field (1) holds the number. Here it is at 1, the game’s normal speed.

The editor marks a setting at its default with Game default. At 1 the line is not even in the file, because the game leaves out every line equal to its default. That is normal.

Pick a number

  • 1 is the game as Ramjet Studios made it.
  • 2 to 3 suits a small group that wants to see the late skills sooner.
  • 0.5 suits a long, slow server.

Change it in small steps. You can change it again later, but each change needs a stop and a start.

If it does not work

  • Save is greyed out. The server is running. Stop it, then edit.
  • Players see no change. The server has to start again after saving. Choose Start at the top right of the server page.
  • You cannot find Skill XP. It is in the Game rules file, not Server settings.
