BetterEXP is a Lethal Company mod looking to spice up the current experience system in the game. Right now the XP system feels a bit clunky and not a good (enough) measure of a player's true experience working for The Company, so I've created BetterEXP to hopefully make the XP system feel much more satisfying and rewarding/punishing, depending on your actions. Thanks for 800K! :3
BetterEXP is client-sided, it will run independently in lobbies you create or join, and should function just fine in vanilla lobbies.
For feature requests, bug reports, or anything else, find me on Discord @swaggies :3
This mod adds new player notes and reworks the current ones! Notes are distributed a bit differently so hopefully up to 3 notes can be shown consistently (per player). Each of the notes (vanilla and custom) can be enabled or disabled in the config, and you may choose if each one can only appear in multiplayer or in solo too.
Each note comes with its own color style, and can also display its corresponding statistic (eg. how much scrap the most profitable employee collected, see image above). Both of these can be disabled in the config if you'd like.
Note that this may conflict with mods that also tamper with player notes, I haven't tested compatibilities, report to me on Discord with findings!! BetterEXP is 100% compatible with Coroner.
Here's the list of notes including old and new:
If any two (or more) players tie on any of these stats, they will all get the note!
Invincible enemies are included as if they could be killed under normal circumstances (another mod is required to actually make them killable of course, BEXP just assumes they are killable for the sake of EXP gains).

Nope, the BetterEXP system will run alongside the vanilla EXP system. After a game, the EXP bar will show your BetterEXP Rank and EXP amount, but your vanilla EXP will still be accounted for in the background. At any time, you may open the pause menu to see your current vanilla rank alongside your BetterEXP rank (if you have the pause menu display enabled). You will be able to safely uninstall and reinstall the mod without affecting your vanilla EXP, however, you can not progress your BetterEXP level without having the mod active (duh).
If you've played Lethal Company quite a bit, you'll start at a higher BetterEXP rank than just Intern.
| Vanilla Rank | BetterEXP Starting Rank |
|---|---|
| Part-Timer | Trainee |
| Employee | Apprentice |
| Leader | Part-Timer |
| Boss | Employee |
| Boss (1000 EXP) | Manager |
| Boss (1500 EXP) | 3rd Boss |
| Boss (2000 EXP) | 2nd Boss |
| Boss (2500 EXP) | 1st Boss |
| Boss (3000 EXP) | 3rd Vice President |
| Boss (4500+ EXP) | 2nd Vice President |
