Rewarding Activities
This mod increases the experience received from exploring new locations, picking locks, overcoming speech challenges, researching, creating new items or upgrading weapons and equipment. It is fully customizable.
I think the experience is poorly balanced in Starfield. The best way to level up is to kill creatures on a distant planet and other activities give too few experience points in my opinion. This mod does not change the experience gained from killing or fully exploring a planet but rewards other common activities we all do while playing.
FEATURES
This mod changes the following values in the experience gained:
– Discover New markers and locations on the map (Space and land): From 20 to 80 Exp.
– SpeechChallenges: From 10 to 100 Exp.
– Research activities: From 8 to 15 + 2 Exp for each item provided to the research.
– Making food, medicines or other generic resources: From 1 to 12 Exp.

> Easy: From 5 to 15 Exp.

Installation Instructions
– Install “xp.txt” with Vortex, Mod Organizer or unpack them into the base game directory (Where is located Starfield.exe).
– Copy this into your StarfieldCustom.ini in “Documents\My Games\Starfield”:

bInvalidateOlderFiles=1
sResourceDataDirsFinal=

sStartingConsoleCommand=bat xp
If you already have “sStartingConsoleCommand=” then add to it so it looks like this:
sStartingConsoleCommand=bat “othermods”;bat xp
Or simply add these game settings into your overall gameplay tweaks file if you want to do so. You can change the values to suit you and enjoy the game:

Things I would like to do but don’t know how to do:
– Change the experience gained from killing enemies without changing the global values.
– Add some experience for completing challenges in the talent trees.
– Modify the “Well rested” bonus.
– Many others.
