PVE Experience V1.0

Description
This is the first version of the PVE Experience MOD.

The mod changes the game progression by modifying engram costs and level requirements. The mod will add a few new engrams as well. The new engrams are intended to balance each "tier of progression".

The game progression has been broken into 5 tiers: 1-14 primitive tier, 15-29 primal tier, 30-44 mid tier, 45-59 late tier, 60-74 final tier. Each tier has a theme in terms of armor, weapons, building materials, and saddles. By creating the tier system, the intention is to reduce the grindy feeling the base game has. This is accomplished by giving each tier its own expotential curve for experience so you can easily get the important engrams and have plenty of time to use them before they get replaced by the next tier.

The default player experience gain rate should be set to .2 (20% of default) to get the most out of the mod. This mod also includes a modified copy of my XP Standalone mod that allows players to adjust their experience gain rate on an individual basis. This allows your friends to speed up or slow down their progression to keep with everyone else. (If you don't like having this feature, I can create new version that removes this as it can be exploited if you don't trust everyone on the server.)

Not sure if you will like it, subscribe and try it out in single player before installing it on a server. If there are any compatibility issues, let me know. I have only tested the mod on the Island map without any other mods installed.

*I am working on another version for those of you who want to run the mod with Ark Server Mangager(PVE Experience V2.0). That version of the mod will only add in the items and will require an external download to acquire the engram overrides, player experience, and player engram point overrides.

I'm not sure how this is any different then customizing your ini settings for your server, other then being a preset the game loads in. Maybe saying how it is different from that would help.

some screens of the new items would be cool

I would recommend the PVE Experience V2.0 mod instead (It just adds some primitive level items for game balance and the option for each player to change their xp gain rates). I don't know if this is still working with the current game version and it will no longer be updated.

I like the concept very much! But what's the problem with Ark Server Manager? Do you need to use the .gamedata import for some reason?

All engrams that are not modified by the MOD will retain their normal costs and experience requirements. The mod allows for approx. 1250 engram points to be unlocked at max level (which is much easier to reach than in the vanilla depending on the xp gain rate you choose). The current MOD has ~1450 ep worth of engrams. If your modding in other items, i recomend using Ark Server Manager and the second version of this mod. That will allow you to balance the engram costs of the mods to match this mod.

Hi, this sounds really cool, but am I able to unlock all the engrams eventually? Would I be able to unlock all extra engrams I've added with mods?
