Question regarding skill xp

[THEOTHERJESTER]

So I am attempting to train up one of my guys in crafting. It says his first level up
(from 0 to 1) will be at xp 4322/1000...

No matter what I do I can't get him to level up.

Anyone know if this is a bug or something?

To level any skill you must consider 3 things:

1. Daily Max Learning Cap:
Theres a limit skill exp your colonist can get every day before it gets a negative multiplier, after that your colonist will learn (get skill experience) way slower.

2. Passion:
the flames beside the skill shows the passion that colonist have
- no flame = x33% learning
- small flame = x100% learning
- big flame = x150% learning

3. Skill Degradation:
If your colonist doesn't keep learning/training their skills will degrade over time.

So you must constantly train them to keep their skills, but no passion skills are really hard to keep.

Theres a mod called "Mad Skills" that lets you mod this feature, you can decrease the skill degradation or completely remove it so your colonist never lose a skill level.

sounds like a bug
normally he would lvl when he reached 1000

i forgot to mention, if the pawn is unable to craft because of backstory reasons, it will never level up

Crafting was also made a lot more difficult to level up as of A17, used to be pretty easy simply by making stone blocks and smokeleaf joints. Not any more :( Especially joints, which don't give ANY exp any more.

stone block never gave good xp and leveling crafting is still so easy just by making clothese till 10 and components as u need them keep u high.
