"My colonist levels up and then almost instantly down again!"
This is caused by a feature in vanilla RimWorld known as skill decay. Skills at lvl 10 and higher lose xp. If xp goes low enough, the skill levels down. The rate of skill decay increases with every level - It is slow at lvl 10, and fast at lvl 20.
This can lead to two problems:

- A colonist on level 10 or higher in a skill she almost never uses will lead to that skill almost always ending up at the very top of lvl 9, because skill decay stops as soon as a skill goes below lvl 10. This means that only a tiny bit of xp is needed to level her up to lvl 10 again, which then goes down to 9 again, and so on.

- A colonist with a high level skill she uses almost all the time will likewise lead to that skill jumping up and down between e.g. lvl 19 and 20.

Level Up! has a cooldown between notifications to make this feel less irritating, but it does not in any way prevent or slow down skill decay.

I don't know how that mod works, or how it is failing. Are you talking about the level up message itself? You can just edit that yourself, and use whatever language you prefer.

If you use this mode with Auto Translation mode, the message will output weirdly. Is it possible to resolve it?

Using any other mods that are related to skills?

The best thing to do is to remove half of your mods and see if it still happens, and keep removing half until you've pinpointed the mod causing it.

I don't know why but lately I keep getting messages about lvl up in random skills even when they are doing nothing A pawn could be sleeping and suddenly +1 cooking.

Thanks for checking! I'm glad that fixed it.
No tip needed, but I appreciate the sentiment 😊

Hey! Just tested after a couple of hours of gameplay and I'm no longer getting any notification in non-awakened Androids! Tried with awakened Androids and the notifications do seem to be working for them which is good.

Working fine with normal human pawns too. Thank you very much man! If you have a tip jar I would gladly leave something for the effort! : )

I managed to push a bug fix just now that might actually also fix the leveling issue for Androids. Would you mind having a look at that next time you play? Make sure Steam has downloaded the latest version - v5.3.1.

@krafs No worries, was worth a try lol. I guess I will just remove the sound notification so I don't go crazy
