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.
If you would like to help, give ideas, report bugs, or just play Lethal Company with me, you can contact me on Discord @swaggies. Shoot me a message anytime and I'll get back as soon as I can!
This mod also includes custom player notes! I've changed the way notes are distributed to make sure up to 3 notes can be shown consistently, and also display the corresponding stat for each note (eg. how much scrap the most profitable employee collected). This (hopefully) also fixes some bugs where the Most profitable and Most paranoid stats weren't getting reset after the day ended (somewhat important for this mod).
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!!
Here's the list of notes including old and new:
| Rank | BXP |
|---|---|
| Intern | 0 BXP |

Nope, the BetterEXP system will run alongside the vanilla exp system. After a game, the XP bar will show your BetterXP Rank and XP amount, but your vanilla xp will still secretly be accounted for in the background. At any time, you may type bxp/vanilla in the in-game chat to view your current vanilla xp. You may also type bxp/level or open the pause menu to view your current BetterXP level.
Yeah! You can tweak a few options in the config file. Access it through your mod manager, or BepInEx/config.
When you first load in with the BetterEXP mod, you'll start with 0 BXP at Intern rank. However, if you've played Lethal Company quite a bit, you'll start at a higher BetterXP level than just Intern. You'll receive a notification in-game about what your starting rank is. This will only display once, even if you reinstall the mod. You will be able to safely uninstall and reinstall the mod without affecting your vanilla XP, however, you can not progress your BetterXP level without having the mod active (duh).
| Vanilla Rank | BetterEXP Starting Rank |
|---|---|
| Part-Timer | Trainee |
| Employee | Part-Timer |
| Leader | Full-Timer |
| Boss | Leader |
| Boss (1000 EXP) | Manager |
| Boss (1500 EXP) | Sr. Manager |
| Boss (2000 EXP) | 3rd Boss |
| Boss (3000 EXP) | 2nd Boss |
Most likely anything that tampers with player notes, as well as mods that have a UI element that may overlap with the rank display in the pause menu.
